The words of the Martial Arts Alliance Master left Xu Zhi bewildered.

But now, he also somewhat understood the structure here. It was like a collection of snail shells on the vast, chaotic land, rooted outside this cosmic wall. As long as they didn't stray too far from their dojo, it was difficult for other beings to kill them, unless it was an absolutely overwhelming power capable of instant kill.

"In that case, even a weak being with a Great Dao bloodline could survive here, as long as they could endure the period after breaking through when others might descend to kill them.... But how easy would that be?" Xu Zhi chuckled softly. However, the fixed immobility of the dojos offered a great sense of security. The low mobility of powerful beings made the likelihood of encountering unimaginable, unpredictable enemies very small.

Zhou Meng snorted coldly. "These beings are utterly ridiculous in My eyes, truly country bumpkins. It seems that some Great Dao Supremes, once they ascend, settle on this land outside the chaotic heavens, secluding themselves in simple, desolate villages for their entire lives. They don't even step out, lacking the courage to explore the new world outside or visit a city!"

"So, what is your dream?" Xu Zhi asked, looking at Zhou Meng with interest.

"Of course, it's to wander this land, converse with the world's strong, and even leave this continent, cross the Sea of Chaos, and journey to other parallel universes!" Zhou Meng declared, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

He was deeply immersed in his role.

Xu Zhi ignored him and continued to walk across the land, searching for the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother. Now that he had broken through to this realm, he still needed to address the lingering issues from before, and then continue to cultivate and evolve his extraordinary sandbox world.

"But containing the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother might not be feasible." Xu Zhi took a deep breath. "According to what they say, only here can the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother unleash her greatest advantage: her portable dojo allows her to use her full power... whereas for the Four Grandmasters, the rules here are too chaotic. Like other Saintly Daoists, they can only exert one percent of their strength outside the cosmic membrane."

"Even if her strength might be less than one-tenth of what it was, and she might not even have means of escape, she's still very troublesome. The Four Grandmasters might not be able to subdue her; they could even be counterattacked or killed!"

Xu Zhi increasingly felt that his ability to severely wound the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother had been a stroke of perfect timing and geographical advantage! This was because here, the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's powerful bloodline could be fully utilized; she could unleash her full power anytime, anywhere. In contrast, others, once they left their dojos, could only exert one-tenth or even one-hundredth of their strength! It was inside the universe that she was at her weakest, which was when he had taken advantage to severely injure her.

Along the way, he also encountered some powerful beings. The Martial Arts Alliance Master eagerly made a move, but without exception, after a few moments of engagement, the opponents, realizing they couldn't be subdued, simply left. They were all cunning old foxes; true warmongers were too few. But this was normal; for many, who would fight without benefit?

However, after a long journey, the Tenth-tier Supremes on this land gradually gained a reputation. Many beings learned of a new foreign entity's arrival. Several more days passed. By sensing energy signatures, he finally caught a faint trace of the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother and found her in flight.

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's face was deathly pale. She was running everywhere, relying on her dojo, appearing very disheveled.

"You are?"

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother frowned, looking at the group, then her face completely lost all color. "Reinimansgar!!"

I'm doomed! Her mind exploded with a loud bang, utterly shocked.

Previously, under the explanation of the God Emperor, she had naturally seen the Cosmic Garden, and also this Reinimansgar, along with his daughter, wandering in the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain. At that time, they had coldly snorted at the God Emperor:

"That fellow's disciple truly lacks etiquette, involving us in such trivial matters.... To shift his gaze upon us and disturb our peaceful cultivation and travels... well, never mind, let us depart."

"Yes, Father."

The father and daughter immediately vanished! From that conversation and their nonchalant attitude towards the God Emperor, she had failed to realize he was more than just a disciple, a junior.

"Now! Now, they've come for me?" A flash of despair crossed her face. She was now absolutely certain that everything that had happened back then was a conspiracy! The destruction of the Cosmic Garden and the Elemental Civilization were all orchestrated by hidden entities behind the scenes. And one of the masterminds from back then, this time, did not send a disciple but descended personally... If even a disciple was so terrifying, pushing her to such an extent, then what about the one before her now...

"I am willing to surrender; just spare my life." The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother completely bowed her head.

Xu Zhi was momentarily taken aback. Surrendered just like that? Honestly, he had no confidence at all in subduing her this time; he was merely trying his luck... letting the Quantum Grandmaster engage her in battle. Yet, she immediately knelt?

In reality, the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother had reached a dead end in recent days; she was in despair. Ever since she was severely injured in the lower realm, combined with the aura of her recent breakthrough, she had been surrounded and targeted by others. She didn't know how much longer she could hold out. Previously, she still had means of self-preservation, so naturally, she was unwilling to surrender because she could escape. But now, she had no such means left.

In the hands of others, she would surely die, for she knew countless beings coveted her bloodline. However, this mysterious opponent might not be interested in her Great Dao bloodline, giving her a chance to live! Moreover, in her eyes, if a mere disciple was so terrifying, and their master had personally appeared, could she possibly escape? They were at least a being with a Heaven-defying Five Great Dao bloodline! Perhaps even a Saint who was already stepping into the multi-dimensional realm! She was mentally exhausted and no longer wished to struggle.

"At the same time, they might not be interested in my bloodline." The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's mind reeled. "A long time ago, they pushed me forward as a pawn, even using the Elemental Civilization and the Cosmic Garden. This being feigned death, pretending to be killed by me, to escape... If they truly coveted my bloodline, they would have acted against me long ago!" The more she thought about it, the more sense it made. If they coveted her bloodline, they would have acted long ago, rather than pushing her forward as a disregarded toy pawn. She had hope of survival; her family's bloodline was not something her opponent desired!

She felt incredibly fortunate, yet at the same time, an overwhelming sense of humiliation welled up within her. Her lineage, the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother, originated from primordial times, with a long and powerful heritage that countless Saints coveted. Yet, her opponent didn't even deem it worthy of a glance?

"As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything. I only ask not to sign a slave contract, and to retain a shred of dignity." Her posture was extremely humble, but she held onto that final bottom line. If she signed such a contract, it would be better to perish entirely, for she would have no dignity whatsoever. The opponent could decide her life or death at any moment, treating her as a living, portable bloodline reserve, capable of killing her and seizing her bloodline whenever they wished.

Such a low posture? Xu Zhi froze completely, looking at the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother bowing before him.

"Hmph, Father used your feigned death to escape back then. The destruction of the Cosmic Garden was merely a play, and you were kept in the dark, only now awakening from your dream." Little Shiji said with a serious expression, clearly believing this "truth" and finding her "father" incredibly mysterious and terrifying. "Now, you finally know to surrender?"

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother dared not utter a sound.

"Your Majesty," Medusa said with a serious expression. "In my opinion, there's no need to take in such a bumpkin! Just kill her and give her spatial bloodline to the Four Grandmasters. If the Four Grandmasters put on her 'skirt,' their strength will surely multiply immeasurably."

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's scalp tingled with dread, and she was already contemplating a desperate last stand.

The Martial Arts Alliance Master's eyes lit up, finding it very interesting as well. "Hahaha, my cloak can wait a bit! Her little 'skirt' is quite flashy and excellent! I could wear it!"

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's thoughts grew increasingly desperate; she was already prepared for a final resistance.

Xu Zhi was utterly dumbfounded. It seemed Medusa, Shiji, and the others all believed he could easily subdue the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother, even flick her to death with a single finger? But the truth was that everyone present might not be able to defeat her or even hold her captive.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you," Reinimansgar said, his voice resonating like a great bell.
