Everything leaves a trace. Any living being in this universe—the land they walk, the air they breathe, the images they leave behind, the words they speak, the saliva they spit—all engage in material exchange with the universe. In the eyes of these ancient ultimate beings, a dense, silken web of laws, visible from certain angles, allows them to directly trace the past. Even a Tenth-Order ultimate being finds it difficult to completely conceal their traces. Yet now, no trace or clue could be found, as if this being had never appeared on the timeline of the entire universe's past or future. This unsettled her. "What on earth is this...?"

As for Renimansiga, she had personally killed him back then and seized his Great Dao bloodline. That was the last lineage of the Iron-Based race. Yet, before her eyes, there were still faint, mysterious clues: the Cosmic Garden still existed, Renimansiga was still alive and incredibly carefree, and had even fathered an offspring for the Iron-Based race, despite their incredibly low fertility rate. It was as if an immense, hidden move was at play. "Was the Cosmic Garden truly destroyed back then?"

Emperor Dizun, clad in black, with a serene countenance and eyes as deep as the sea, looked into the distance and said, "Take another look at the ancient ruins of the Elemental Civilization now. What do you see?" Melville's vast and powerful divine sense descended once more. Sweeping across several ancient ruins of the Elemental Civilization, which were all dilapidated, she surprisingly discovered a vibrant scene within one of them. Countless unique elemental beings were cultivating and growing stronger, presenting a magnificent sight.

Her gaze fell again, and she actually saw an Elemental God with a mysterious bloodline, enveloped in flames, with an elegant face, like a divine bird existing independently from the world. Beside her, there was another young man, difficult to discern. He quietly looked up, seemingly sensing her gaze. "That fellow's lifespan is ending, and he's still letting his disciple covet me? Are they bothering me with these trifles because they want to start a war?" "So be it." The young being gently tugged at space, and a stream of elemental energy from beyond the realm poured down. He then drifted away, saying, "Let's return to the Mother River." "Yes," the mysterious divine bird followed him.

Melville tracked them again, but this mysterious youth seemed to vanish into thin air in the universe, leaving no trace. "Another inscrutable individual!!" "Could it be that the Elemental Civilization wasn't truly annihilated back then?" Her mind began to reel, and her Dao heart became somewhat unstable. She had personally destroyed the Elemental Civilization back then, sweeping through it with almost no omissions; this scene before her was impossible. It was as if no war had ever occurred between the two civilizations. It felt as if she had never set foot on this land, where she had arrived tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago, like an illusory dream. This feeling was akin to the 'True and False Monkey King' story, where even Guanyin, King Yama, and all the gods and Buddhas couldn't distinguish between what was real and what was fake. Yet, the two Tenth-Order ultimate beings' Great Dao bloodlines still proved that all of this had truly happened. But how could civilizations and ultimate beings that were already dead be resurrected?

She felt as if she saw a thick, black mist over this land, concealing some unimaginable, incredible, terrifying truths. "What on earth is this...?" For the first time, doubt surfaced in her.

Shrouded in divine light, Emperor Dizun continuously shook his head. "You believe you were once invincible, sweeping through this ancient land from past to present, dominating the entire river region, allowing no ultimate beings to exist... Yet, you don't know that it was others who made you invincible... who made you believe you ruled this land, all to conceal their own traces... And you, you grew arrogant from this." Melville's heart was greatly shaken. Made me invincible? Could it be that her previous victories were all fake? The Cosmic Garden and Elemental Civilization merely feigned death and concealed their traces? To evade the schemes of even more incredible, ancient cosmic existences! But those were two genuine Tenth-Order ultimate beings! They were living beings, not illusions. The two Great Dao bloodlines on her were proof. If they weren't genuinely defeated by her, but willingly perished by her hand to hide from some terrifying higher-dimensional existence... then what kind of horrifying higher-dimensional existence would necessitate sacrificing the lives of two Great Dao ultimate beings just to hide...!!! And those hiding in the shadows, facing such unimaginably terrifying dimensional civilizations, who could easily bear the demise of two Tenth-Order ultimate beings, how powerful must they themselves be...? Her heart began to panic. If this were true, she would merely be a pawn pushed to the forefront, used from beginning to end as an ancient cosmic ultimate being meant to rule this land... And she had actually believed it? Believed she was the ruler of this land across eons? This must be false! Her mind immediately rejected such absurd notions. She wouldn't believe it! As a composed ancient ultimate being, she couldn't possibly be swayed by these various anomalies into readily believing such so-called absurd theories. But it was undeniable. This thought and seed had already begun to take root in her mind, making her feel agitated and restless. "In this vast world, while weakness and ignorance are pitiable, to be arrogant because of them is the most tragic thing of all."

Emperor Dizun advanced step by step, looking down at this ancient ultimate being who had descended through dimensions, whose expression was now unnatural. "You always think you're strong; you're just a disabled person with three Great Dao bloodlines... Without proper bloodline combinations, you're nothing but a worthless existence." Disabled person? Melville's face was completely contorted with rage. Further away, Shi Rendi, a newly advanced Tenth-Order ultimate being, also felt his worldview completely crumble. To even obtain a Great Dao bloodline was already excellent! To find and kill a Tenth-Order ultimate being was already an immense stroke of luck; after all, wasn't every Tenth-Order ultimate being defying the heavens? And now, there was talk of bloodline combinations? The depths of the opposing civilization, those ancient dimensional beings behind the Buddhist and Daoist sects, were unfathomably deep and terrifying, beyond even his ability to calculate within his destiny.

"Therefore, my master ordered me to come here to suppress and kill you, even without a Great Dao bloodline." Emperor Dizun's aura began to surge. "At this moment, I am merely letting you die enlightened, knowing the true reality.... Rest assured, no one will ever know of our existence. You will be killed by Shi Rendi, and this land will gain a new ruler, continuing its reign, with no trace of us ever appearing." Emperor Dizun took a soft step forward, enveloped in surging aura. "Are you ready to die?"

One step. One punch. Xu Zhi threw a straightforward punch. While disrupting the opponent's Dao heart naturally played a significant role in the battle, the true outcome still depended on genuine strength. And what he had to do now was to overcome the strong with the weak! Facing the 'Dao-endowed' with 'no-Dao' felt like a mortal on earth challenging a supreme Heavenly God who commanded laws—a gap of similar immensity. According to ancient legends, a Tenth-Order offspring, unable to attain the Dao, gathered five heaven-defying bloodlines, forcefully slew a Tenth-Order ultimate being with a single bloodline, and took its Dao Seed to achieve perfection—a truly incredible ancient miracle. And today, Xu Zhi was challenging an ultimate being with three bloodlines. If he could succeed...

At this moment, for the first time, he truly felt his own power—an unparalleled force, terrifying to the extreme. "Since absorbing the universe's 'Primordial Dao One,' the first wisp of matter from creation, and using it to cultivate the Lesser Universe cultivation method, even I don't know how strong I am now..." Xu Zhi murmured. The Great Universe cultivation method of the Quantum Combat Body. The material universe of the Inner World bloodline. The spiritual universe of the Demon Core bloodline. The all-cellular clay creation. The semi-elemental bloodline of the True Qi bloodline. "These bloodlines seem to form a true universe." Xu Zhi felt his entire being filled with immense power. For the first time, he grasped the profound terror of the entire Great Universe cultivation method. In the unseen depths, he felt connected to the entire Zerg race, as if he were already a part of the universe itself. "It's as if I can perceive the laws understood by Caroline, Emperor Qi, and indeed all Dao attainers, including the four thousand recently infected Dao attainers... They are all a part of my body." "This is the Great Universe cultivation method." "Heaven is understood by the mind, Earth is observed by the mind, Matter is created by the mind." "The universe is my heart, and my heart is the universe." He murmured the insights that mysteriously appeared in his mind, feeling at that moment as if he had merged with the Heavenly Dao, with everything effortlessly at his command.

*Swish.* He reached out and grasped, and a divine fan filled with deities appeared in his hand. This divine fan, though filled with deities, held little power before a Tenth-Order ultimate being, but Xu Zhi needed their law attributes. Mixed biological law attributes similar to Medusa's. A Great Dao aura, emanating from his body and gathered from thousands of laws cultivated like Medusa's, was vast, like facing the formidable might of heaven. This law energy, though only at the divine level, sprayed out rapidly from Xu Zhi's hand like an embryo. "I wouldn't know how to use this mixed power of countless laws... but Medusa's insights into laws have become a part of my body." "First, I'll mix over a thousand Great Daos and attack." His heart was calm. The brilliant Daoist magic transformed into a chaotic torrent, as if the heavens and earth were first opening, and directly struck at Melville. With a thunderous explosion, countless light-years turned into chaos.
