Perhaps, this is the ultimate recluse, in a way.

Others travel extensively through various parallel universes, experiencing the unknown, encountering mysterious dangers, and facing unfamiliar rules from other universes, all to achieve enlightenment in the multiverse. Meanwhile, Xu Zhi creates his own setup at home, closing the door to achieve his own enlightenment through self-production and self-consumption.

This is the unique nature of the Outer Dao Universe, operating under the rules of another universe, albeit an incomplete and fragmented one, not a true parallel universe. However, all these theoretical prototypes require practical testing. We'll need to see what parameters Meng Mei, as the first test subject, can provide and what challenges she encounters.

"The Messiah situation is temporarily handled. Meng Mei will likely take at least one or two days to depart, I reckon. But that's fine; over there, Yimang has just fallen, and the Age of Gods and Demons is over. It will take another one or two centuries for things to recover somewhat."

Next, Xu Zhi cast a glance at the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain. After the Stone Man Disk broke through its realm, the domain was a scene of devastation awaiting reconstruction. Now, everything is restarting and flourishing.

Once he confirmed there was nothing noteworthy, Xu Zhi's gaze drifted to the Destroyer God's dimensional courtyard. There, everything was evolving, undergoing vast changes over time.

"They are still reproducing, and the selected species show considerable potential. Initial composite bloodlines have emerged, especially with the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, where simple fusions have appeared, integrating the previously eliminated Witch Clan bloodline. If we were to introduce them, now would be a suitable time..."

However, Xu Zhi noticed that in that evolutionary courtyard, a week had brought about many interesting developments, with even the Cloud Star Dao Fruit exhibiting unusual changes. He did not, however, plan to introduce them into that 'false Dao' universe. It couldn't withstand too many entities entering and causing disruptions; perhaps the time would be right only after a few more eras.

"As for the progress of Caroline, Di Qi, and the others..." Xu Zhi was startled by what he saw, having been unconcerned moments before. Caroline's progress on the Tenth Tier path was at 21, a speed already indicative of genius.

But what about Di Qi? He had only been gone for a little over a week—less than a thousand years! Yet, he was already at 91!

"Even if you add up all the time, Di Qi has only been on the Tenth Tier path for 1,700 years..." Xu Zhi was somewhat shocked, gazing at Di Qi cultivating within his palace, finding it astonishing. "Back then, he progressed at a moderate pace on the Ninth Tier Cellular Fusion path, taking seven or eight millennia. But now, his progress..."

The Tenth Tier path was countless times faster than the Ninth Tier path; it was utterly unbelievable! No wonder he was called the destined Insect Race Hero. Because his Tenth Tier path was astonishingly rapid! Integrating all his lifelong knowledge and condensing his ultimate Dao, Di Qi was completely in his element.

"Indeed, Di Qi is even a destined Multidimensional Ultimate..." Xu Zhi took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming. "With his learning ability, he could rapidly rise in other multiverses too. This advantage is immense!"

At this moment, Xu Zhi finally understood why the Zerg Sub-brain had described Di Qi as an almost fated Zerg hero. He was also a high-probability Cosmic Multidimensional Ultimate, the ultimate Saint.

"It seems that once Di Qi breaks through, he will swiftly enter the Tenth Tier era..." Xu Zhi murmured, then mused, "He's bound to go beyond the cosmic chaos to establish his own Dao field... perhaps even engage with other Grand Dao Saints, entering a new world of that realm and encountering new adversaries..."

"He might even collect Grand Dao bloodlines and then venture into other multiverses to study different worlds and re-cultivate other cosmic rules..."

As for managing him? *chuckles*

"I'm too lazy to bother with him; it's better if he leaves."

Xu Zhi smiled, shaking his head. "To say he's strong isn't to say there are no others with comparable power, but he's been annoying his own people here, constantly learning others' cultivation methods. Now, he can finally go and vex others... and incidentally, I can use this opportunity to observe the world beyond chaos, the realm where cosmic ultimates interact."

Only a week had passed since the Outer Dao Sandbox was devised. Both the players' Earth and Di Qi's progress had given him immense surprises. The Tenth Tier era, nearly a millennium after the battle in the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain, was finally on the verge of emerging!

Given Di Qi's situation, once he achieves the Tenth Tier Ultimate breakthrough, his Seven Realms Heavenly Court will soon follow him into the cosmos, becoming his chaotic Dao field!

"The Seven Realms Heavenly Court, my family's orchard, is about to ascend beyond the universe..."

Xu Zhi sat idly on his rooftop, gazing at the hundred-acre orchard. "Earth has entered the transcendent era, and even my orchard is ascending... I estimate that once Di Qi leaves, these hundred acres of wizard land, along with the orchard's cellar, will be dug up, soil and all, and transported beyond the cosmic chaos."

"I'm genuinely a bit reluctant."

But Di Qi was breaking through rapidly; he was already far ahead. Next in line, Caroline was estimated to need another ten thousand years to break through, while the Three Pillar Gods, already inconsistent in their progress, would be even slower to achieve breakthroughs.

"Di Qi's pioneering breakthrough is truly a triumph; he's finally shaken off the other two competitors, whose paths are still long..." Xu Zhi sighed softly, thinking his future focus would be on the Seven-Tier Heavenly Court, when his expression suddenly stiffened as he looked at the Cosmic Garden.

He was utterly bewildered.

"In the Cosmic Garden, is a second Tenth-Tier about to break through? This... how is this even possible?"

The Crystal Wall System Universe. It was a multiverse sandbox simulated based on the theory of cosmic multiplicity.

At this moment, four ancient beings sat within the Cosmic Garden.

"Women must strive for self-improvement!"

In the distance, Little Shiji's true form continued her training, grunting and laughing as she swung her fists. Since the battle in the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain, she had matured significantly and worked even harder, her 'qi' intent having stacked to over a hundred million layers. She had completely caught up to the former Martial Arts Alliance Leader. Of course, as the strongest man in the Quantum Martial World, the Martial Arts Alliance Leader had not remained stagnant; he, too, was progressing. In recent years, he had become unimaginably profound, his quantum iron fists capable of shattering stars.

"These days are so uninteresting..."

The four Grandmasters watched Little Shiji practice martial arts, shaking their heads.

"Thousands of years have passed since the battle in the Cosmic Garden," Mr. You said with a serene expression, a gentle scholar's smile gracing his lips. "But since that battle, we have advanced rapidly. Soon after, through Zhou Meng, we merged our cultivation systems and found our path forward!"

The four of them were originally a single entity. But they had split into four souls, each occupying 25% of the Ninth Tier path. Originally, they were meant to devour and fight one another until only one remained to break through to the Ninth Tier, but none could overpower the others.

"However, we found a solution from that repulsive and terrifying monster of yesteryear," the Demon Lord said, still expressing lingering trepidation when speaking of that dreadful figure.

The Martial Arts Alliance Leader said nothing, looking around.

"Hmph, how could you possibly comprehend my talent?"

This was an emperor, his hands clasped behind his back, eyes gleaming, who snorted coldly: "I have deduced a form that allows us four to break through without fully merging! It's like four personalities inhabiting a single body, though our combat power is reduced to one-fourth."

The four of them were already Ninth-Tier beings, essentially four personalities within a single Ninth-Tier entity, capable of splitting or merging. The other three silently cursed, deeming the old man utterly shameless, yet despite his deepening delusions, it was undeniably his great contribution at this moment! Moreover, it was far better that this fellow didn't dream about or disgust the three of them.

"Since then, after several more millennia, we embarked on the Tenth Tier path, and to our astonishment, we assimilated our ultimate Dao with incredible speed, as if traversing flat ground!" Mr. You added.

"All of it is thanks to me."

The handsome man in dragon robes calmly stated, "You mistakenly believed your martial arts were the strongest, and that man's talent was supreme... yet you were unaware that 'Heavenly Universe Dream' is the most terrifying and powerful cultivation method and bloodline, truly invincible, horrifying beyond description!"

The three did not object. Heavenly Universe Dream offered infinite possibilities, but its side effects were too severe! Only a genius like Zhou Meng could successfully cultivate this sinister and terrifying martial art; others would have long since gone mad or suffered mental breakdowns. Yet, even so, Zhou Meng no longer knew who he truly was, having lost himself. He could no longer distinguish between his dreams and reality. Did such a life truly hold meaning? Was it not, in its own way, a form of death?

But they said no more, simply standing up.

"We are nearing the end of the Tenth Tier path. Thanks to Zhou Meng, it has only taken us 2,300 years so far, and we are on the verge of breaking through to Cosmic Ultimate."

"We intend to affirm the rules! We must report to the Demon God and His Majesty Rennimansgar first."

They stood up and, led by Medusa, proceeded to the Cosmic Garden's study, preparing for an audience with Rennimansgar. They knew that a magnificent era of breakthroughs, unparalleled across the entire star cluster, was imminent.
