Chapter 1241: Laboratory Upheaval, Venturing into the Real Universe

Urban Reality

Meng Mei couldn't help but grow more excited, vowing confidently, "The current development is an evolutionary inevitability! Because in the Chaos Sea, the first surviving universe will eventually emerge, and its structure will be very simple, living on the seabed... And it's highly likely to be an algae type! This primordial algae-universe, having lived in the Chaos Sea, will subtly influence the Grand Dao Map and DNA of surrounding nascent universe singularities, leading to the Big Bang."

"Therefore, the universe's first life form is the Algae Universe Era!"

Meng Mei's eyes immediately sparkled with golden light, and she looked at the Creator God with a face full of reverence, asking, "Is this the knowledge and wisdom that only the universe itself possesses?"

Xu Zhi was momentarily stunned. *You ask me, how would I know? Aren't you all exploring this path from scratch?* But he could only nod with a smile, looking at the experimental site within the glass dome, and chuckled, "Yes, the evolutionary history of the universe and its destined fate also follow a certain inevitable developmental process."

"Just as I thought!" Meng Mei became excited.

Xu Zhi stood silently to the side, his gaze flickering as he looked into the distance. If Qiu Mingshan Che Su was just a pure fantasizer, Meng Mei was simply a blind fan; she actually believed him to be omnipotent.

But jokes aside, the experiment still needed to be done.

Soon, other universes gradually began to proliferate and appear. Xu Zhi clearly saw a prosperous oceanic chaos era gradually taking shape. The birth of the first algae-universe creature seemed to pry open the door to a forbidden zone; soon, countless algae-type universes began to multiply and grow. The ocean began to boil, ushering in a vibrant and prosperous age.

"The Chaos Sea, surviving universes, have appeared on a large scale!"

"This is hard to imagine; it's an epoch-making advance!"

Nayserra watched this scene, her face filled with shock.

The Chaos Sea was teeming with life; countless algae-type universes began to thrive, like marine plants in the ocean, like lazy jellyfish floating up and down, exquisitely beautiful. A new era had begun. A large number of universes survived!

What did this mean? The experiment on universe life had finally entered the right track, achieving a perfect form! In the future, when universe singularities explode, they can evolve into new, living universes at any time... This was a path beginning to mature.

"This is a historic moment!" Nv Yi couldn't help but be enchanted by the magnificent cosmic scene; this splendid sight was beautiful as a dream. The era of marine life Big Bangs was rapidly progressing.

"It just consumes a lot of Grand Dao Singularity beads." Xu Zhi's expression was a little grim; after all, these weren't biological entities, and each singularity had to be personally created by him, effectively using up thousands of years of his savings. But he felt both pain and joy; without vast resource consumption and his hard work, how could civilization evolve and develop?

Soon, with the emergence of numerous algae-type universes, almost all other nascent universes disappeared. This was because the Grand Dao Map DNA sequences of the same type had permeated the entire sea; newly exploded Grand Dao singularities, upon birth, were subtly influenced and assimilated by this ubiquitous Grand Dao Map.

Everyone witnessed a prosperous era. A gravel beach, a chaotic ocean, and endless creatures within that ocean. The only difference was that each piece of gravel on the beach was a dormant universe, which was astonishing.

"It seems to be becoming peaceful..." Nv Yi frowned upon seeing this. "The types of universes are starting to unify."

"This is a magnificent sight."

Meng Mei said, "In this world, each piece of gravel is a dormant universe, and marine plants like algae and seagrass are universes without intelligence... So, what about fish? Animals? Or even intelligent beings?"

Everyone was eagerly anticipating this future.

Another vast period of time passed, and the prosperous marine era gradually approached peace. But a problem soon emerged: insufficient matter and energy. The beach was quickly disintegrated, and the accumulated dead remnants were absorbed as energy by the nascent universes. However, the entire world soon maintained a fixed number of algae universes, specifically 1,373, with no more appearing and no possibility of intelligence emerging.

"These universes have life, but no self-awareness, like a roadside weed or a large tree... Also, there are no living beings within them. If living beings were born within them to complete the universe's rules, that would likely be the true path for them to fully gain intelligence!" Nv Yi boldly speculated.

Meng Mei was startled. "These universes only have life, but no intelligence, like plants and trees? Living beings must appear to complete these universes' rules, complete their Grand Dao Map—their DNA sequences—for them to fully awaken their intelligence?"

This was quite magical.

Nv Yi nodded. "That's not the issue we're discussing. The current problem is that while algae universes possess life, they lack the conditions to generate life within themselves, thus remaining a widespread, plant-like type of universe... Without the birth of living beings within them to complete the Grand Dao rules of the universe, not only are they unable to gain wisdom, but they also cannot grow, meaning they don't age and remain in their initial chaotic primordial state from the Big Bang."

Nv Yi observed the experimental site's conditions and stated coldly, "Without death, there's no material exchange... So, they remain fixed in the ocean, drifting everywhere, always numbering only 1,373."

Meng Mei asked, "What should we do then?"

"Wait for mutations to appear, and continue deploying universe spores."

Nv Yi said seriously, "Newly deployed universe spores will find it difficult to survive without matter and energy absorption... They are natural enemies to the stable 1,373 algae-type universes. We hope new spores can mutate, adapt to the environment, and survive."

This was a very simple method, but also the best.

Nv Yi looked at the Creator God and respectfully said, "However, the stock of Grand Dao Singularity spores is getting a bit low..."

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "It's a small matter. After all, these aren't true universe-creating singularities; it's just a simulation experiment, with minimal consumption."

Nv Yi and the others nodded, continuing to observe the experiment. Xu Zhi, however, departed, feeling a tingling sensation in his scalp. *Perhaps, for a Creator God who truly grasps the universe's truths, this is effortless, but for me, it requires external resources and countless laws to reverse-engineer and create...* The sheer quantity made Xu Zhi's scalp tingle. He had to reverse rules one by one to create these singularity beads. Moreover, his avatars couldn't create singularities; he had to use his main body, employing the Grand Universe Cultivation Method to do so. He had to do it himself...

"I'll just have to push through." Xu Zhi felt a chill in his heart, a premonition that he, as the Creator God, might be completely drained. However, he could only continue the experiment; it required vast amounts of data and expenditure to achieve everything.

"I hope it doesn't disappoint me." Xu Zhi immediately entered high-dimensional space-time, mechanically and repetitively creating Grand Dao Singularities in large quantities to supply the laboratory for their experiments.

Time flew by. Even Xu Zhi couldn't remember how much time had passed, only that the Grand Dao Singularities he had handled probably numbered in the hundreds of thousands at least—a terrifying amount. His speed in evolving Grand Dao Singularities also grew faster and faster; he gritted his teeth and amassed a million of them in one go, feeling that this quantity could sustain the experiment for a while, only then allowing himself to emerge and relax. As soon as he exited, he discovered new news from the laboratory. A new type of universe had finally been born. This was a novel universe type, similar to ancient trilobites, that began to feed on algae-type universes, absorbing and plundering energy by devouring them. Originally, the energy of the universes was occupied by the algae universes, but these new ones grew by consuming the algae universes.

"Marine plants appeared, and now marine animals have indeed appeared, feeding on algae and other planktonic universes!" Nv Yi was astonished, a shiver running through her. "Although they are still universes without intelligence, they can already move!"

*It worked?* Xu Zhi also felt utterly drained; it had finally succeeded.

"Sub-brain, pull up this universe's genetic data."

Xu Zhi's eyelids twitched. Everything else seemed fine, but again with this mixed-bacteria bloodline virus—what was going on? Xu Zhi didn't have time to think too much, but something even more horrifying and chilling happened in the experimental site: those trilobite universes not only preyed on algae-type universes but also moved swiftly, fiercely, and cruelly.

*Splat!*

They seemed to sense the outside world and violently crashed into the laboratory's glass dome.

*Bang bang bang bang!*

To the astonishment of Nv Yi and Meng Mei, the site, set up by a Saint, actually developed cracks. Nv Yi's pupils instantly dilated. This was condensed using her own Saint Grand Dao laws, and these experimental universes actually could!?

"These predatory universes can not only devour the rules of algae-type universes but also our rules! None of my methods can stop them!" Nv Yi's horrified voice hadn't even faded.

*Crack.*

The glass dome instantly cracked. The entire completely enclosed glass laboratory collapsed in an instant.

A large number of trilobite-shaped universes ferociously leaped out, directly latching onto the faces of Nv Yi, Meng Mei, and Nayserra, their tentacles plunging into the back of their heads, rapidly sucking.

Facehuggers? Xu Zhi's scalp prickled.

*Boom boom boom!*

Those universes instantly exploded. Nv Yi and the others finally reacted, slowly standing up, saying with lingering fear, "Thank you, Creator God, for saving us." Nv Yi was momentarily stunned and didn't react immediately. But in reality, even if the Creator God hadn't intervened, she could have quickly defeated these creatures; she just hadn't expected even a Saint's methods to be breached.

"My face?" Meng Mei clutched her face, a look of horror appearing. "It's decaying, my body is transforming into some kind of creature, as if turning into the lowest form of bacteria..." She felt her life essence collapsing, her bloodline sequence melting and twisting, transforming into a low-grade microbial creature, and her entire being shrinking. Like in *Metamorphosis*, waking up to find oneself a giant insect.

Xu Zhi frowned. "These are the rules of that universe; they don't belong here and will soon be assimilated and disappear by this universe... You will return to normal very soon."

Meng Mei was startled but soon noticed the symptoms disappearing.

"This is too bizarre," Nv Yi said. *In the future, will there be no way to contain those creatures?* It was as if they had opened a forbidden zone, like a group of low-dimensional beings studying lofty high-dimensional beings, or low-latitude ants researching mighty gods.

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I can set up a restriction." With a wave of his hand, the Zerg protective shield immediately re-sealed the laboratory. "You all continue the experiment, clarify the characteristics of these cosmic maps, and study the new creatures."

"Yes."

The few nodded and continued the experiment.

Xu Zhi's expression, however, settled slightly. He casually picked up an algae universe and a trilobite universe, then walked out, shaking his head inwardly: "I've been busy here for so long, working overtime from nine to five. I can't be a workaholic forever. I need to go out and wander through the real Grand Universe, clear my mind."

"Knowledge has accumulated to this point, matured by now; it feels about right... And coincidentally, I can go explore the Chaos Beach of the outer universe and release some invasive species."

Xu Zhi lowered his head, looking thoughtfully at the two small things in his hand. "Perhaps I can create a new transcendent world and let those Saints know the historical process of our universe."
