Whoosh.

Di Qi, Medusa, and others stepped directly inside without hesitation.

At this moment, Caroline stepped into the endless void and softly said:

“Di Qi has already shattered the void and ascended beyond the universe. My main body is already at stage 89 of the Tenth Order path, nearing completion... However, this current body is merely a clone without a soul, so I cannot achieve Dao in my current universe... But if I enter another parallel universe, I might have a chance!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a faint light appeared before her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a fantastical and bizarre world composed of crimson, intricate meridians, cells, and mysterious gears.

She looked up and vaguely saw a murky expanse of seawater outside.

It was dim and indistinct.

It was as if she were looking at the vast and mysterious ocean world from inside an aquarium.

“This is... the life universe created by the God of Destruction!”

“It's an algae-type universe! Algae, no less! This is perfect for me because it's vast enough to reconstruct my mental universe cultivation method!”

“Just as I thought! Within the God of Destruction's dimensional courtyard, one can only enter the myriad worlds created by the God of Destruction!”

Her pupils suddenly contracted. She couldn't help but look around, realizing that due to the universe's rules, she was collapsing, changing shape, and quickly transforming into a bacterium.

However, she felt that her bloodline rules had been forcibly suppressed and couldn't be used.

“But it's only suppressed. This is ultimately a bloodline-type universe... If I can re-cultivate here and achieve Dao, establishing rules that favor my new complete lineage cultivation method, my bloodline will be able to exert its full power in this universe!”

“Furthermore, I'm the only one here! I can seize control and transform this into my own... cosmic dojo!” She instantly became excited.

On the other side.

Medusa was in a similar situation.

She entered a trilobite universe alone and also had similar thoughts,

“I can transform this into my Evil God Universe, primarily achieving Dao in rules identical to mine... turning an entire universe into my personal dojo!”

“Moreover, I can pilot this cosmic vessel, traverse the Sea of Chaos, journey through endless universes, explore ancient ruins, seek historical truths, and become a traveler of time!”

Di Qi opened his eyes and heard only chaos.

The seawater churned, huge waves crashed, and the world seemed to turn upside down. All around, there were wails and screams, as if they were enduring an unimaginable maritime disaster.

“What kind of monster is this?”

“So terrifying!”

“How could this be?”

CRACK.

The entire cosmic vessel capsized, surrounded by countless tentacles and claws, violently crumpled like a piece of paper, and swiftly devoured.

To Di Qi's astonishment, countless Saints' descendants, upon touching the giant beast's skin, gradually flowed into this mysterious and bizarre universe.

“Did I arrive at just the right time? Is this a cosmic vessel from another universe?” Di Qi's expression remained calm as he instantly hid, observing the visitors from this maritime disaster.

Soon, under the influence of the rules, they transformed into various bacteria.

Di Qi also mingled among them as a bacterium. For a time, the Saints' descendants couldn't distinguish who was who. Di Qi casually mimicked an aura and became one of the shipwrecked.

“This, for me, is paradise.” Di Qi mingled among these beings.

Xu Zhi watched them, satisfied that each had found their place.

Caroline was suited for the algae universe, Medusa for the trilobite universe, and Di Qi was placed in a universe experiencing a maritime disaster—all meticulously arranged.

“The Nine Yuan Universe Era has ended; the Era of Myriad Worlds has truly begun.” Xu Zhi said with a faint smile, “In the early stages of a surging era, treasures are everywhere, and circumstances create heroes. With their abilities, they will naturally forge a path for themselves quickly.”

Xu Zhi glanced slightly to the side, then suddenly fell silent.

This side also experienced a maritime disaster.

The Big Octopus received the same treatment as Di Qi, successfully entering at the same time and mingling among them.

At the same time, the Big Octopus came from the God of Destruction's dimensional courtyard, which is also 'Spore Evolution,' so it could naturally broadcast and quickly connected with the players.

“Don’t panic. They are all Saints, but they are no match for you now.”

In the live stream, the players were extremely excited.

“It seems that even if you turn into a bacterium, your stench is hard to dissipate, and you remain very powerful!”

“It’s fine. Secretly make a name for yourself among these Saints.”

The Big Octopus nodded, and its magnificent seafaring life thus began.

On the other side.

After a struggle, Saints from Zhang Youling's affiliated cosmic vessel finally managed to re-cultivate and achieve Dao, cleaving through the primordial chaos.

They were astonished to discover that as they achieved Dao and refined the universe's rules and blueprint, the universe's intelligence seemed to gradually awaken, showing a nascent consciousness.

They felt fear but were helpless.

They could only follow their initial plan, piloting the vessel towards the coastline.

The anxious Zhang Youling was currently waiting along the coastline.

The missing cosmic vessel had not only been built with almost all the resources obtained here, but the thousands of Saints' descendants on board also constituted the entire foundation of his main universe.

With such a significant loss of power, how could he not be anxious?

“Wait, what’s that?”

That day, they looked towards the Chaotic Coast, where a colossal beast slowly emerged from the water.

Subsequently, they heard a terrifying truth for the first time: underwater life, incomplete universes, and visitors from outer universes...

Qiu Mingshan Che Su enthusiastically explained to them, “These are ancient life forms from outside our universe, incomplete universes, unlike our own which is so complete and mature. They drift into our universe...”

Deep within the vast, azure-black universe.

Endless vortices swirled, surrounded by dazzling and magnificent starlight. For billions of years, while the outside world underwent drastic changes, this place remained unaltered.

The entire white palace held only eternal tranquility.

Vast amounts of rules spun rapidly around it, thread by thread, like endless rainbows.

They did not seek eternal life, only longevity, to live until the end of the universe and finally achieve Dao.

A voice emerged from the depths.

“How many billions of years have passed now?”

“Reporting, Your Highness, it has been over 14 billion years.”

“What is the situation outside?”

“Since that person’s demise, that universe has been embroiled in conflict. It is feared that the Grand Dao is decaying, accelerating its descent into an age of doom.”

“That person’s descendants... I can’t even remember which generation they are now...”

The ancient beings surrounding them fell silent for a moment.

A moment later.

“For countless eons, we have known that everything in the world has its destiny, and the growth of the universe follows its own laws. Certain inevitable eras are destined to appear, and we must not interfere significantly... If we interfere too much, it could lead to massive unforeseen changes in the universe...”

“The universe might completely veer onto a path unknown to us, losing the opportunity of the Age of Dharma Decline, and the door to the Eleventh Order would be permanently sealed.”

The beings' expressions were extremely calm.

They did not know what cosmic era the future would bring, but they understood that these were all inevitable laws of cosmic growth.

Like Xu Zhi before them, they dared not interfere, fearing they might alter predestined trajectories, a fated stage of cosmic growth and Dao integration.

They had almost never emerged into the world, facing and enduring each era of drastic cosmic change.

They aimed to journey towards the distant future.

Suddenly, they fell silent again, closing their eyes.

But the next second, a voice filled with slight surprise emanated, “I have observed that universe, and a variable has appeared; a large number of cosmic vessels have inexplicably fallen and gone missing.”

This being, a formidable multi-dimensional Saint, could peer into everything and hear everything; most matters in the multiverse could not escape Its notice.

The surrounding ancient beings held their breath. “Why?”

“There are unknown cosmic life forms in the Sea of Chaos,” he said.

The surrounding beings were slightly startled, full of incomprehension.

Universes with life? And residing in the Sea of Chaos? What does that mean?

“Allow me to show you.” He extended his hand, and a scene gradually appeared: Qiu Mingshan Che Su enthusiastically speaking, spittle flying, in a harbor.

“This is a Dunhuang mural, the flying Apsara!”

“This peculiar living universe comes from beyond the true grand universe!”

“It's a fragmented, deformed universe. There are many such incomplete universes outside our own, drifting everywhere! But currently, only our universe has survived intact!”

“Now, according to my estimation, it might be a cluster of meteoric universes from outside our heavens that crashed into our Sea of Chaos, thus giving rise to these anomalies.”

The ancient beings of the Longevity Dao Palace were slightly stunned.

Flying Apsara?

Meteoric universe cluster?

And from outside the heavens?

Having lived for tens of billions of years, how could they not have heard of these terms?

They were somewhat dumbfounded.

They were true ancient beings who had lived until today, genuine titans who had experienced countless cosmic eras, and they clearly knew this was a lie.

They exchanged glances, frowning slightly.

At this point, Qiu Mingshan Che Su continued, “This reminds me of ancient prophecies!”

“Everything is the beginning of omens!”

“Too many evil gods are descending now, and unspeakable wickedness is brewing. In the future, the universe will enter its true nexus, the Era of Myriad Worlds!”

Those around him were startled and quickly asked about the Myriad Worlds.

“The universe is not merely the current Nine Yuan Universe. This realm will become the Myriad Worlds in the future, encompassing 129,600 great chiliocosm universes.”

“This number is eternal. Worlds may be born and perish, but this constant number remains.”

“Therefore, 129,600 constitutes one Yuan, which can be called an epoch. Within an epoch, there is prosperity, decline, and destruction.”

Qiu Mingshan Che Su grew more excited as he spoke. This was what the Creator God had told Di Qi back then, and now it completely matched!

Doesn't this mean the Creator God already knew about this catastrophe for himself?

But he had no self-awareness and couldn't resist?

He felt an intense sense of fate in his heart!!

“Epochs, with birth and death?” Zhang Youling was stunned.

“Yes,” Qiu Mingshan Che Su continued enthusiastically,

“When the stars align, R’lyeh will rise from the chaotic seabed, and the great Cthulhu will awaken! The universe will be destroyed!”

As these words fell, they were earth-shattering.

This so-called R’lyeh, wasn't it referring to them?

In the Longevity Dao Palace, the uppermost Saint suddenly opened their eyes. “Someone is plotting against us!”
