While Xu Zhi was secretly observing and grumbling to himself, Zhang Tong, on the other side, felt utterly dizzy, her mind exploding with astonishment.

"Holy crap! What is this?" she couldn't help but blurt out. "This is incredible! I absolutely love it! Is this the method of a Multidimensional Saint? Did it just open up a gene slot for me for free?"

In a sense, that was indeed the case—an unearned gene slot.

Her mind was reeling.

How incredibly significant was a single gene slot?

It represented an entire realm of cultivation.

An additional gene slot meant even greater defiance of the natural order.

Her breathing quickened. "I've struck gold, I've struck gold..." she thought. "Let me try to sense it."

The next moment, she was overwhelmed with excitement. She vaguely sensed that this extra gene was actually the legendary and most mysterious Time Bloodline!

She grew even more excited.

In reality, they had no idea that they had always possessed this Zero Bloodline; it had simply been sealed off by a certain boundless entity, preventing them from sensing it or utilizing its power.

Otherwise, how could their bodies have evolved so inexplicably?

This was an ability belonging to the Zero Zerg Bloodline.

At this moment, the Multidimensional Saint, witnessing Zhang Tong's reaction, was very pleased. This kind of shocked attitude was exactly what he wanted, a normal response for a living being. He was completely reassured.

And Zhang Tong genuinely wasn't faking it.

She was truly dumbfounded; this was her authentic reaction.

From within Zhang Youling's body, the Multidimensional Saint's weak voice resonated: "You go manage the rest of the content. I need to rest; I'm too exhausted..."

Not everyone could be as prolific as a Zerg Matriarch, giving birth so casually.

This was equivalent to a Multidimensional Saint giving birth to a descendant carrying a hidden bloodline...

For beings of this level, how immense was the original power consumed in giving birth to a single descendant?

Even they would enter a significant period of weakness. Normally, giving birth to one or two was already considerable for them. Given that this was also across dimensions, it was clear how massive the cost was at this moment.

Only the Zerg, with their specialized, highly prolific breeding bloodline, could be so unrestrained.

"Th-th-this... What is this?!" Zhang Tong cried out, too excited to speak coherently. "How do I feel like I've gained an ability in my body? An extra bloodline? And it's related to time!"

"This is a special ability that grants you the Sixth Hidden Bloodline."

Zhang Youling read the information in his mind, concealing much of it, and chose some simple, clear facts to state: "Furthermore, no matter how powerful a being is, as long as you don't use it, they won't be able to detect this bloodline of yours... because it doesn't reside within your physical body. Instead, it's a bloodline of laws projected down from unseen cosmic dimensions above..."

"How bizarre?" Zhang Tong found it a bit too metaphysical.

Zhang Youling simply explained: "You should know that living beings in the universe are very special, darlings of the laws of heaven and earth. And within their bloodlines exist faint traces of the universe's rules..."

"When we cultivate our bloodlines to their peak, we condense the rules of the universe. And this sixth bloodline is already a rule, suspended within the universe itself. It only becomes a rule that we use when we activate it. It's a cosmic rule that only our clan can utilize; you can understand it as our exclusive privilege."

"Our clan?" Zhang Tong's pupils dilated, and she wanted to ask more.

But Zhang Youling didn't elaborate further. Instead, he said, "Try using it on those creatures from earlier..."

Zhang Tong thought for a moment, tried to use it, and realized it involved cutting time.

If a person were compared to a movie and time its progress bar, this ability would instantly cut off a segment of their timeline, causing the events that happened during that period to simply cease to exist in their life.

"I felt an inexplicable sense of discord, like I was being rejected by the universe," Zhang Tong said, instantly feeling weak. "At the same time, I feel completely drained."

"Because this is a rule that does not belong to this universe, do not use it casually," Fatty Zhang continued, uttering words that were difficult to grasp. He was merely relaying the information, but without the necessary background knowledge, it was hard to understand.

Knowledge is the ultimate power.

The feeling was akin to a modern person trying to explain airplanes and cannons to someone from ancient times, who wouldn't comprehend it at all.

But in reality, while she had only half-understood those previous words, Zhang Tong now grasped it completely. She thought to herself: 'Do they really take me for a country bumpkin? If it's a rule that doesn't belong to this universe, of course, it'll be rejected... Haven't they seen our Heavenly Dao Piano? If it uses rules that don't belong to this universe, it will naturally be rejected.'

"Then isn't this ability quite limited in utility?" Zhang Tong couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed," he said, "it consumes a lot of energy. It can only be used as a trump card, and it's best not to use it in front of truly powerful experts."

If it weren't for what just happened, he wouldn't even know who was behind all this. He himself had no idea about this ability previously; it was the entity behind him that used it on his behalf. And a being of that level, even if they used it in front of a Saint, the Saint would barely notice.

"But there is a way," said the little Fatty Zhang, who seemed to have gained quite a few memories and had become much more composed, as if fully enlightened. "When I achieve Dao, I will add this rule to this universe. Then this universe will possess this Great Dao bloodline, and it can be used here without any corresponding repulsion."

"So that's how it is!" Zhang Tong looked shocked, but her eyes secretly darted around. This information seemed to reveal a terrifying secret.

Was this the true purpose of achieving Dao here?

"I see," Zhang Tong said directly, with utmost sincerity. "Although you're saying things we don't quite understand, it seems like a great opportunity. Just for this new bloodline you've given me, our clan is willing to follow you."

Fatty Zhang smiled, hands clasped behind his back. "That's good," he said.

His expression still carried a hint of immaturity and youth.

After all, he hadn't gained full access to his true memories; he had merely received some information. Essentially, he was still a young man, brimming with ambition after stumbling upon such a fortuitous encounter.

Now, with such a group of followers and powerful bloodlines, it was time for him to prepare to become a Ninth-Tier Dao-Achiever and establish a small world.

He thought for a moment, then pulled out a large pile of treasures with a clatter. "Take a look," he said. "There are divine law ores, special bloodlines, Great Dao weapons, spiritual herbs unique to certain civilizations... Take your pick of what you want."

"You're players, right? You enjoy playing games in front of a screen," he continued. "No problem, there will be no life-threatening dangers in the future. Our civilization is perfectly suited for creating a game!"

Zhang Youling was joyful inside, already envisioning the future. He immediately began taking out his accumulated wealth as a welcoming gift for these powerful 'subordinates' before him.
