When Xu Zhi was deducing the sandbox, he hadn't expected things to be so bustling and lively here. How could Earth be thriving so magnificently in just over seven days?

He had originally returned to control Messiah and resume his seclusion, preparing to condense the Great Dao bloodline for himself, as it was indeed time to begin.

"They even want to invite the Heavenly Emperor?" At that moment, Xu Zhi's eyelid twitched slightly.

Their plan was meticulously detailed. While Meng Mei's massive divine manifestation could grandly announce the spiritual energy revival on Earth to the world, the appearance of an ancient Heavenly Venerate of Huaxia from mythological tales would undoubtedly amplify the sensation to its peak, ensuring the complete success of this grand era.

"The supernatural revival on Earth is essentially a leap forward for civilization, transitioning from a primitive era to a supernatural one." He mused, "After all, there are countless low-level, indigenous civilizations like Earth in the vast universe that haven't truly ventured beyond their planets. It's good that they can transcend now, even if it doesn't directly concern me. I can't possibly rely on Earth itself, expecting them to revive and provide me with combat power, can I?"

However, Xu Zhi naturally harbored no resistance. He himself was a part of Earth. He found what the players were doing for Earth's development to be quite good, considering it a matter of long-term benefit. After some thought, he mused, "Anyway, I have nothing to do. It wouldn't hurt to lend a hand and give them a push."

"But since I'm descending, as an ancient ancestor of the people of Huaxia Earth, I should bring a gift," Xu Zhi pondered.

This gift couldn't be too insignificant. He suddenly raised an eyebrow, "Perhaps, I could grant an opportunity to a few chosen individuals to enter the Outer Path Universe?"

He had already been considering this. The first batch of living beings had to be introduced into the Pseudo-Dao Universe! He wondered what would happen if there were two versions of himself, one in the real universe and one in the Pseudo-Dao Universe, both cultivating simultaneously. This was what Xu Zhi intended to research.

But it couldn't be Emperor Qi or Medusa's group. In this primitive era, their combat power was too strong, and with their knowledge of energy and mature systems, once they entered, no one else in that era would stand a chance.

However, people still had to be introduced. The era of Innate Chaos Fiendgods had passed, and the Post-Heaven era had many variables. Xu Zhi was becoming less concerned about preventing anomalies.

"Perhaps I could select a few from Earth as a gift?" Xu Zhi paused slightly, pondering the possibilities. It wasn't impossible.

These people's general combat power wasn't strong. They had always relied on accumulated knowledge to develop various supernatural systems and pull off all sorts of clever maneuvers. However, in that particular universe, all their accumulated knowledge would be rendered useless. It would be directly nullified! Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't be able to. Besides, they couldn't stir up trouble in the first place.

Without reaching the Tenth-Tier Ultimate or becoming a Great Dao Saint, one would ultimately remain an ant. It would be impossible to influence the era, and they might not even be able to break through to the Ninth Tier.

Xu Zhi remained calm. "At the same time, just in case, I should select some honest and compliant individuals who won't cause trouble. For example, people I'm more familiar with, like the Alchemist Emperor."

As for Akina's Car Speed, he immediately rejected that idea.

Meng Mei could actually be an option too. Meng Mei was one of the more honest players, even exceptionally so. Online, she spouted endless provocative remarks and aggressively asserted herself, but in reality, she was timid and overly cautious, a perfect example of a keyboard warrior.

After being the Mother Earth for ten thousand years without even killing a chicken, would she cause trouble and court disaster everywhere? Impossible. Her biggest dream as a slacker was to quietly hide and collect rent.

She would most likely find a place to hide, then secretly resume charging patent fees and become a landlady, without interfering with the era itself.

"But, can they really do it?"

"The Alchemist Emperor has long since reached the peak of the Divine Spirit realm and is already on the path to the Ninth Tier. Meng Mei is also a Ninth-Tier Dao Attainer, with her soul and flesh merged. There's no concept of a separate soul, so resurrection through another's body or possession for rebirth is impossible."

"This is the only true self in the entire universe. This means that when Meng Mei's clone enters that universe, it will actually lack a true spirit, merely being an empty controlled body. She would then be unable to break through realms above the Divine Spirit, and without the ability to merge her soul and flesh, she wouldn't be able to embark on the Ninth-Tier path. An Eighth-Tier Divine Spirit would be her limit!"

"Therefore, Meng Mei's current main body on Earth also has an Eighth-Tier cultivation as its limit! This is because her true spirit has already merged with the Mother Earth figure who has a Zerg identity in the Seven Realms."

This was a very realistic situation. You could cultivate mortal bodies and clones, travel through all universes, make incognito visits, and enjoy the mortal world. But your mortal body couldn't break through to the Ninth Tier. How could it allow you to frantically cultivate multiple Ninth-Tier entities?

If time were sufficient, wouldn't that make one invincible? You could only be a single Ninth-Tier entity, the true self with soul and flesh merged.

But if the Eighth Tier was the limit for individuals like the Alchemist Emperor and Meng Mei, what good would that do? Divine Spirits would be useless!

Xu Zhi certainly couldn't place Ninth-Tier Dao Attainers into that Pseudo-Dao Universe, as they would no longer be able to cultivate to the Ninth Tier there.

"It can only be another group of players who haven't broken through yet."

Xu Zhi was just considering introducing ordinary people when his expression changed. "Wait a minute," he thought.

"In this universe, the Ninth Tier is the sole true self of the universe; this is the rule of this universe. But what about in other universes? Would the rules of the original main universe be unable to restrict one there?"

His breathing quickened. Once this thought emerged, it became unstoppable. "Yes, if I go to another universe, how could the rules of the main universe still restrict me?"

He had always understood established facts based on the inherent concepts of the universe. But beyond the universe, would he still need to follow its laws?

"I need to deduce this!"

The next second, Xu Zhi directly entered his Great Universe Combat Body. Endless knowledge surged in, and his thoughts, like crashing waves, rapidly began to deduce, with countless ideas flashing like lightning.

Suddenly, Xu Zhi vaguely saw some deductive visions and felt an uncontrollable urge to laugh out loud. "It really can be done! It really can be done! In this universe, there is only one true self. But what about other universes? They can also have a true self! There can be a version of myself in every universe!"

Xu Zhi recalled the multiverse theory. What did this mean?

It meant that he, as a great cosmic existence, would indeed become a mortal in other universes. However, in those other universes, he could adapt to their natural laws, cultivate anew, and start from scratch to cultivate another version of himself!

That "parallel universe" version of himself could also break through to become a Ninth-Tier Dao Attainer and even a Tenth-Tier Ultimate!

"This holds unimaginable significance..."

Xu Zhi took a deep breath. "It's like a 'parallel universe.' In that parallel universe, if I successfully cultivate again, I would become another Tenth-Tier Ultimate."

In two parallel universes, there would be two of him. This meant that if the version of him in this universe perished, the version in another parallel universe would still be alive. To completely kill himself, there would only be one way: destroy all "selves" across all multiple parallel universes.

"If this is true, the implications are profound." Xu Zhi seemed to glimpse a terrifying future. "Meng Mei, who is a Ninth-Tier in this universe, could also become a Ninth-Tier belonging to that parallel Pseudo-Dao Universe. Both versions of herself would even have the possibility of breaking through to the Tenth-Tier Ultimate!"

Xu Zhi knew this conjecture was groundbreaking. If it came true, it would mean having an extra life, making it nearly impossible for others to kill him.

The Outer Path Universe's role would become immense. This was a feature that other "Pseudo-Dao Universes" did not possess, because they all adhered to the rules of the greater universe. Only Xu Zhi's "Outer Path Universe" had this capability!

"It's just a hypothesis for now. For the specifics, I'll need to truly test it out." Xu Zhi took a deep breath, his eyes burning bright, as he transformed into the Heavenly Emperor's form.

"I didn't expect that returning here would yield such a good harvest. Since they wish for me to observe the ceremony, I shall grant you a grand gift as a token of my arrival."

He looked at Meng Mei, who was in the capital of Huaxia, holding a selfie stick and livestreaming with great enthusiasm. "Hmm, I'll choose you to receive the Heavenly Emperor's grand gift and grace."
