Chapter 1164: The Opportunity for Earth, Another Universe

What exactly is the concept of another universe?

If it were just another extraordinary world or one of the myriad realms, they would be used to it. But "world" and "universe" are vastly different concepts!

"Beyond this universe, are there other universes?" some research scientists from the academy exclaimed, clenching their fists as they looked up at the sky. As they studied spatial theories, they naturally also discussed parallel universes. But no one knew what lay beyond the universe. The universe was simply too vast. Based on Earth's previous development, even with a few more centuries of progress, exiting the solar system might be a slight possibility, but leaving the Milky Way was almost hopeless. And the Milky Way itself was just a speck of sand in the boundless river of stars. Perhaps only an ultimate being, one who has reached the end of the Grand Dao and is omniscient, would be qualified to know what truly lies beyond the universe.

Meanwhile, some players were excited, especially Akina Speed. Another universe? If it were any other time, it might be fine, but at this particular moment, a chill surged from his spine to his brain. The God of Destruction created that universe, the Genesis, and disappeared after the cosmic prelude appeared. Could it be that universe? The Ancient God had been present all this time. Could it be that he was searching for a way to enter that universe, and actually found it? If that were true, he would have to re-evaluate the Ancient God's power and inscrutability even higher! But no one had time to think further.

Outside Earth, Emperor Zun smiled, "It's fortunate, or perhaps fate, that I just stumbled upon this opportunity, and now you're breaking through to a deity. This grand gift is enough to give you hope for the Ninth Rank. Are you willing to accept?"

"Accept, of course I accept!" Mengmei bowed deeply towards the sky. Not accepting at this moment would be truly foolish.

Whizz. A black bead flew from beyond the sky and landed in Mengmei's hand. Emperor Zun turned and departed. "The path of cultivation is long and endless. Once you have prepared everything, crush the bead, and you will naturally be picked up. This opportunity can also be granted to a few others. When they break through to the deity realm, they too can be given an equivalent chance."

For the human bodies on Earth to break through to Eighth Rank deities, it meant that their counterparts on the other side would need to become Dao Achievers to provide feedback to their main bodies here. One achieving the Dao, the other a deity. This perfectly fit Xu Zhi's experimental conditions. Their willingness to be guinea pigs was excellent, and they certainly wouldn't refuse. However, after Mengmei, Akina Speed was the most promising, but his breakthrough was definitely still far off; "indefinite" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Emperor Zun eventually left, leaving behind the stunned crowd in the capital and the awe-struck populace across Earth. Even in other hemispheres, where they didn't witness this mythical scene directly, they could still feel the immense pressure. Witnessing a great Tenth Rank Ultimate being, a final existence symbolizing the end, one who surpassed all rules, descend upon Earth, they felt a profound and terrifying shock, unforgettable for a lifetime.

"This is a Tenth Rank Ultimate!""It's terrifying! You can't grasp the aura just from pictures or videos!""Let alone an Ultimate, even a deity is high above, looking down on us weak mortals. They could slaughter all life on the surface, destroy skyscrapers, and even nuclear weapons would struggle to lock onto such terrifying individual combat power.""Heh? Lock on? Are you kidding? Deities are high-dimensional spacetime beings. To them, we low-dimensional beings are simply static. Below a deity, all are mere ants!"This scene indeed brought immense shock, and for them, it was a great success.

After Mengmei descended, her parents and even the leading officials had already gathered around her."Another universe, are you going to another universe?""Daughter, what's the situation with this other universe?"

Everyone around was discussing it heatedly, but Mengmei merely shook her head, indicating that there was no rush and she needed to discuss it with someone. At the same time, she said, "Yes, I probably will go. If there's an opportunity to achieve the Ninth Rank of Dao in that other universe, I should go."

"Earth cannot be without deities. If you leave without setting up formations for us, our cultivation speed will be very slow," someone said.

"I won't be gone for long," Mengmei shook her head. "In high-dimensional spacetime, I'll probably be back in just a few months... if I can come back, that is. A few months is still an acceptable wait for you. Furthermore, I'm only a deity; my help to Earth is limited. Even if Akina Speed and others become deities, it won't be of much greater help. But if I become a Ninth Rank Dao Achiever, I can create a small world plane, which can encompass high-dimensional spacetime, allowing a group of people to cultivate rapidly. Only then, with a Ninth Rank extraordinary civilization led by a Dao Achiever, can we truly develop at high speed!"

Mengmei didn't want to rely on her main body. Because Earth Mother Empress was too busy. If she were to pinpoint Earth's coordinates and descend, Emperor Qi and others would sense it, which would be terrifying. Therefore, she still wanted to develop herself and find a way for Earth independently. And for Earth's main body to have an opportunity to break through to Ninth Rank by exploring another universe was unimaginable! In fact, that other universe might be a tremendous opportunity for Earth to rise on its own, without relying on those extraordinary sandbox worlds. It definitely needed to be seized.

"Will you die?" her mother's face turned pale.Mengmei said, "I don't know. There's a high chance of mortal danger. After all, cultivation is like walking a tightrope. Countless people compete for each realm, with many corpses buried, for only one to succeed."Her mother's face grew even paler."It's fine," Mengmei added. "Even if I die, it would only be this human body dying. My main body, Earth Mother Empress of the Mythical Heavenly Court, is still alive."But her parents still hesitated.

Meanwhile, while these discussions were happening, and the entire Earth was buzzing with excitement, only a few hours passed. Around noon, Akina Speed posted another sensational thread in the forum. The title read:

"Another 'self' outside the universe, breaking through to Ninth Rank? You might think Emperor Zun merely stated the obvious, but you don't know the profound meaning behind his words, which contain the most terrifying rules in the universe! In reality, the Tenth Rank Ultimate is not that simple!"

Everyone was slightly surprised. Akina Speed continued, "Do you think that the Tenth Rank Ultimate in the universe, the perfection of five genetic pathways, is the limit? No! While the Tenth Rank Ultimate is the end of the universe, the waters at this 'end' are incredibly deep. Although it's one grand realm, this realm is divided into several minor tiers, and each minor tier is vastly different! The gap between minor tiers is comparable to the difference between Ninth and Tenth Rank! Haven't you noticed the meaning revealed in Emperor Zun's words? The Tenth Rank, with the five Great Dao genes, in another universe, will reach the threshold of the next realm: the Multi-Dimensional Ultimate of the multivariate parallel universes! Let me elaborate on my detailed reasoning."
