This journey has indeed been ongoing for quite some time.

Xu Zhi discovered that the land beyond this cosmic chaos was immensely vast. After all, its sheer size was entirely normal, much like an egg: while its internal space is large, the surface area of the eggshell itself is absolutely boundless.

"The universe is truly vast," Xu Zhi increasingly sighed, looking at the distant, surging tides. "The shape of our universe has been split; it's now like a giant cylindrical ice cream, with the bottom of the cylinder covered by the chaotic ocean. We are standing on top of this cylindrical ice cream! And these cylindrical ice creams, nine of them, form a shattered glass sphere. The fractured gaps are covered by wisps of the chaotic ocean. From a distance, it truly resembles Earth's nine continents: we stand on the surface, while the universe below is inhabited by subterranean beings."

As Xu Zhi mused on the immense vastness of the universe, the more powerful an existence became, the more reverence they held for nature, and the more insignificant they felt themselves to be.

"Weak 'strong' individuals, who haven't even left their planets and are unaware of the countless stars in the sky, often boast of defying fate, conquering the world, and achieving eternal life. Yet truly great beings are incredibly humble. They dare not speak of monopolizing all ages, or being invincible across the universe; they don't even dare to speak of 'eternal life,' only 'long life,' which, though seemingly humble, is already their highest aspiration."

Xu Zhi whispered softly, recalling Yi Mang's words from back then: "Why speak of eternal life? Only seek long life and enduring perception."

As Xu Zhi pondered, he recounted ancient history to the others. His narrative eventually led to the primordial chaos being split, and a great ancient saint.

"He delivered the first strike to heaven and earth, establishing the laws of material operation, bringing order to chaos, and making the skies clear and the earth distinct. He then led his many holy disciples to successively break through into four-dimensional beings, proving the Cosmic Dao. Before that, the chaos was scarcely habitable, with an incredibly harsh environment. Those ancient beings at the time didn't realize they were creating a great era for future generations; they merely thought they were making life more comfortable for their people for a short period."

"This situation was akin to a few mortals in a barren land clearing a few acres of weedy ground in front of their homes, transforming it into fertile fields to make their lives in the desolate village a little better," Xu Zhi said softly.

The others felt enlightened. They hadn't known what impact their actions had on future generations because, living within that era, they were oblivious to its long-term effects.

But, the chaotic universe, the creation of heaven and earth, the first strike that cleaved the primordial chaos of the ancient cosmos? As these words settled, their scalps had already begun to tingle. They had already sensed a great terror, but upon hearing this, everyone was utterly shaken!

They looked at the fully developed Dao Diagram of the universe; the first Cosmic Saint to prove the Dao had proven the rules of material operation!

"How terrifying! He delivered the first strike to the universe!" The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother was utterly shocked. If she had previously doubted the veracity of this historical account, now, before her eyes, she looked at the first branch on the Dao Diagram. How could she not know this was real? This was the most mysterious core truth of ancient history! She no longer knew how to articulate it; the implications felt too terrifying. The surging torrent of history crashed down. She now understood that this was not merely history from five billion years ago. This was history from over fourteen billion years ago, from the very beginning of the universe's creation!

"So that's it, the first era of ancient history, the ancient myth of chaos splitting to form heaven and earth." Medusa smiled, feeling she had gained an immense understanding.

Although surprised, the others found it quite normal. They were a civilization capable of observing the Creator God, and they knew the ancient developmental history of the universe. It wasn't too bizarre to them; in fact, it seemed quite normal.

"From then on, the universe was fixed in three dimensions, and all material movements in spacetime had fixed parameters." Xu Zhi continued narrating history, having no intention of concealing anything. Gradually, he spoke directly of that ancient existence who, to survive, killed other beings, and eventually, just before his demise, proved the universe's final moment: that heaven and earth are flawed.

They began to listen with a bitter feeling in their hearts. "That ancient god-demon seems to have decayed..."

"Indeed, he was immortal in life, fearless of death, but once he discovered he had a lifespan, he began to fear death. Truly a complex creature."

They began to lament, as if witnessing history unfold, seeing that ancient sage—the creator of heaven and earth—who was both great and complex. This historical segment was lengthy, but now that they had reached its conclusion, everyone fell silent, affected by the bitter and complex atmosphere. Was the decay of life merely accidental, or will eternal life inevitably lead to decay in the future?

"You wish to strike a blow against the world?""Precisely.""What use is this long life and enduring perception? I wish for everyone in this mortal world to only strive for their present era! To live in the moment, to contend for the splendid brilliance of this life, not for eternal existence!""I wish for everyone under heaven to be like the Tenth-Tier Ultimates, subject to formation, dwelling, decay, and emptiness; to birth, aging, sickness, and death!"

At this moment, they all seemed to see an unparalleled, heroic figure standing in the void, amidst the chaos, laughing heartily as he made his final magnificent declaration in life. He sought to become the greatest sinner in the entire history of the universe. Yet, he was also the greatest benefactor in the entire history of the universe—such a contradictory, complex, unparalleled figure, the first Great Cosmic Saint to split heaven and earth...

"Oh, so that's how it is!""Beings in the universe initially had no lifespan limits. The Five Decays of Heaven and Man for mortals surprisingly originated from the Tenth-Tier existences as a blueprint, leading to birth, aging, sickness, and death! It wasn't that mortals died of old age first, then ultimate existences fell; it was precisely the other way around!"

"A strike against gods, a strike against mortals!!""He must have been scorned and misunderstood by the beings of that era, his name tarnished for millennia. But what's even more tragic is that, as time passed, even the existence of that being itself was forgotten by the world, his joys and sorrows buried in the dust.""Time, oh time, is the most terrifying enemy, erasing all historical glory.""Only through the Dao Diagram can one see his final traces from back then."

They were utterly embittered. Looking at the first branch of the Dao Diagram, which represented the proven laws of matter, it was as if they saw that ancient figure. This was an earth-shattering secret, utterly astonishing. They listened, wide-eyed and filled with complex emotions, witnessing a vast primordial epic. The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother, in particular, felt dizzy; the sheer volume of information was immense and truly overturned her entire world.

Renimanska looked at the embittered crowd, standing on the beach, bathed in the chaotic wind, and chuckled, "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, waves washing away heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to naught in a blink. The green mountains remain, crimsoned by many setting suns. White-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the river's isle, accustomed to autumn moons and spring breezes, joyfully meet over a flask of humble wine. How many tales, ancient and new, are now but subjects of lighthearted banter?"

"What we speak of lightly today, will future generations not speak of us in the same way?" Renimanska sighed, looking into the distance. "There's no need for more words. We have arrived at our destination."

It was a coast with an excellent geographical location, abundant energy, and convenient access to the lower realms—the ideal spot for establishing a dojo. After all, there were specific principles for establishing a dojo. A dojo is a bubble rooted in the universe's membrane. Each location has a significant difference in the efficiency of energy transfer from the underlying universe; the better the location, the faster it absorbs energy from the cosmos.

"Let's establish it here then."

Xu Zhi looked at the four Quantum Grandmasters beside him. They immediately understood and began to set up their own dojo, intending to place the multiverse crystal wall system here.

"This coast is excellent. Perhaps it holds some good opportunities for development." Xu Zhi looked at the distant ocean, listening to the sound of the waves.

Many beings preferred to establish their dojos in coastal areas because the Chaotic Sea itself was a vast source of opportunity. The further inland one went, the sparser the population became. Essentially, most resided in the outer circle along the coast. However, the entire universe was too vast. The number of ultimate existences capable of proving the Dao in the current era was actually not large. Even if they were all concentrated along the chaotic coast, they would appear very sparse, indicative of an extremely vast but sparsely populated area.

"Let it be established here."

Xu Zhi stated calmly, "Perhaps, for this emergence, though we must conceal our true forms, we should, under a different identity, open our doors wide and welcome the people."

"Do you mean there should be some action?" The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother was already utterly respectful and convinced. "No wonder this emergence is clearly premeditated. Even the previous tremor within the universe, the invasion by alien universes, is likely connected to these existences. I wonder what grand plan they're concealing!"

Xu Zhi smiled enigmatically, "This is all in preparation for what comes next." He couldn't very well say he was poor, that having just arrived in this chaotic outer realm, he intended to build a Platinum Fishery to make a fortune and get rich, could he? And incidentally, perhaps sell some specialties of his own civilization. In any case, everything would be handled by improvisation, depending on the situation.

"The dojo will be built here for now."

Renimanska picked up some sculptures, turned to Zhou Meng, and instructed, "From today onwards, you must learn to reproduce these sculptures. Can you do it?"

Though puzzled, he still nodded. "These clay figures possess a historical aura and require the ceaseless tempering of various laws to achieve that ancient, weathered look. An ordinary person couldn't do it; one must master countless laws, immerse themselves in each, and apply them in a specific way. Furthermore, the artistic skill required for these sculptures must be extremely high. But none of these challenges are an issue; I, your Emperor, can naturally accomplish it."

Medusa listened, then carefully examined the sculptures. "I also possess many mastered laws, and while I have skills in forgery, I lack his unique talent. Indeed, only he can accomplish this."

The few of them began to settle down.

At this moment, Shi Ji, having nothing to do, continued to ask, "Father, what happened after the primordial god-demon perished? What is the secret of parallel universes?" She looked at the distant continents.

The other beings pricked up their ears, and even the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother felt a tremor in her heart, knowing this was an unimaginably terrifying secret, involving far too much—the mysterious main text of ancient cosmic history!

However, Renimanska merely shook his head and said calmly, "What happened after that is deeply involved and very terrifying. It's not something you can know at your current realm. Don't be overly ambitious. Wait until your realm improves a bit, then I will tell you the history that follows, and even the terrible truth of parallel universes!"
