The players in the live stream immediately erupted, their eyes lighting up.
Amazing! As expected of the Emperor, our players' leader. That move was ruthless.
"Hahahaha! Although she's still gently smiling, without any change in expression, she's actually completely bewildered, implying her teeth aren't that good, and she can't eat it!"
"No wonder Lord Youshan lost back then; it's quite normal for miracle scholars to be killed off!"
"How tragic! This is to force the other party to reveal their true identity. Let's see how long they can endure!"
"Only we know she's fake. If she didn't want to expose herself back then..."
"Even if the other party gets angry and silences them, it's fine. At most, this seaweed universe will die. It's just the 'self' of that universe; the Emperor's main body is still here, so there's nothing to fear."
Everyone continued to analyze, discussing enthusiastically and chattering away.
At this moment, Zhiji's expression remained calm for a while before she suddenly said, "You are indeed very charming. Your words and actions move me, and I am willing to try to be your Dao companion. However, this gift is too precious and makes me uncomfortable. I cannot accept it. I think we should spend some time together, and if things truly work out, then I will consume it."
Xu Zhi was stunned. He had thought the other party would suddenly attack and kill, yet she was so tolerant.
Is she a Ninja Turtle?
It seems that being able to live such a long time in the realm of immortality indeed requires great endurance.
However, this ancient being was mysterious and powerful. Since she said that, Xu Zhi decided to take the opportunity to extract some information from her.
Zhiji looked at the surrounding Saints and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your trouble during this time. I am leaving now to travel with this Saint, aboard his seaweed universe."
These Saints were ultimately a bit reluctant and unwilling, but they knew the gap in power was too vast to keep her. It was better to form a good relationship with this mysterious Saint instead.
After all, if such a massive universe were consumed by a universe-life capable of attack, it would likely become the overlord of this sea area in one fell swoop.
"We wish you happiness," some Saints said.
Xu Zhi was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, feeling speechless. This scene felt somewhat like the final, sour blessings of unrequited lovers.
However, these Saint descendants inherently lacked sufficient temperament. Even if they achieved sainthood here, they would still need gradual refinement.
"In that case, let's go," Xu Zhi said, calling Zhiji, and they returned to the seaweed universe.
"My lord, may I enter your universe?" At this moment, the great octopus emerged at an opportune time.
Xu Zhi gave a subtle side-glance.
Even after being changed into a fungus by this universe's rules, the great octopus still reeked terribly.
Still, he nodded, allowing the great octopus to follow. After all, its bloodline was very powerful, and having just entered the world, if it grew, it could cause natural disasters.
Soon, they left the Trilobite Universe and embarked on their return journey.
On the surface of the seaweed universe, Zhiji's eyes flickered. She found it interesting to live in a new place and smiled, "I think what you said earlier was very impressive, but I always feel there are some things you haven't made clear."
"Do you wish to continue our discussion on the Great Dao?" Xu Zhi looked at her, observing quietly to see what she was thinking and what she intended to do.
Her actions would reveal much information.
"Yes, I still want to discuss the Dao," Zhiji nodded. That was her goal: to sit and discuss the Dao.
She still had more to say about what was discussed earlier.
She also clearly sensed that the other party was holding back.
After all, it was impossible to tell everything to a Saint one had just met by chance. So, she pretended to be a potential Dao companion and followed him, also wanting to see what other insights he possessed.
Xu Zhi thought for a moment, then set up a tea table on the deck of this universe, outside the chaotic heavens, and sat down to discuss the Dao. He continued, "Of course, there are some things I haven't told them, and they are crucial!"
"What haven't you told them?" Zhiji smiled.
"I haven't told them about the knowledge of initial spore evolution. That is the key to survival and adapting to the universe."
"Spore evolution?" She was puzzled.
"It's knowledge, evolutionary knowledge," Xu Zhi said. "The future cosmic structure might be completely different! Outside the chaotic heavens, one must learn an unprecedented cultivation system, unlike any previous transcendent systems. Those Saints who cannot learn this new system will be eliminated."
Zhiji's pupils widened.
Xu Zhi squinted, thinking to himself, "What exactly is this person's true form? Biological habits are hard to change. Her eyeballs expand and contract with every emotional shift. Is she cross-eyed?"
Although Xu Zhi whispered these thoughts to himself, he adopted an overbearingly doting demeanor and patiently explained, "This transcendent system is the knowledge of biological evolution!"
His voice was gentle and refined.
"As I said before, it's about the evolution of cosmic life forms. And to evolve, one must acquire sufficient evolutionary knowledge to become a powerful higher-level being, an overlord at the top of the food chain!"
"I see,"
Zhiji said seriously, "So, in the Immortal World, it's not just about previous knowledge; knowledge of life evolution is also needed! After all, it's a life universe, involving modifying evolutionary blueprints, improving this creature's 'DNA.' But this itself is also a rule. Therefore, it requires a dual combination of the Saint's own 'knowledge of rules' and the new 'evolutionary knowledge.'"
"You are very intelligent," the Emperor smiled.
Just as the two were speaking, the live stream exploded once more.
"Evolutionary knowledge?"
"Then, do we have a unique advantage?"
"I'm afraid this really means turning the entire grand universe into a spore evolution sandbox! And since we have experience, doesn't that mean...?"
"Holy crap! This was prepared for us from the very beginning. The spore evolution sandbox was meant for this very moment, to seize the initiative?"
"Ancient God, is this also part of your scheme?"
The online forums were already abuzz. They began discussing rapidly, no longer paying too much attention to the Emperor and Zhiji's ongoing discussion, knowing they could watch the recording later.
"Brothers, let me do an analysis!" said Autumn Mountain Speed.
It was lively over here.
Meanwhile, the Emperor's discussion of the Dao continued.
The two gradually began discussing various insights, becoming increasingly serious, ranging from the structure of the multiverse to minute changes in a single universe's future landmass, and even the future emergence of amphibious universes.
They considered the possibility of terrestrial universes, and even avian-type universes.
It must be said, Xu Zhi greatly benefited.
As they spoke, Xu Zhi also asked directly, "I have shared my insights into the universe. As a humanoid universe yourself, you must also have unique insights."
Zhiji chuckled and proudly said, "Then I will share my insights. First, as you said, this is a grand cosmic trend, almost an inevitable destiny, very difficult to change, possessing a certain inevitability..."
"Inevitable?" Xu Zhi frowned.
Zhiji shook her head. Of course, there was an inevitability to it.
Because making the universe more complete was an inevitable trend. Every cosmic era and every cosmic node throughout previous grand cosmic eras had been this way.
However, she was unwilling to reveal the ancient eras. Such ancient history was taboo for mortals confined to living only tens of millions of years within an era.
"You just need to know that it is inevitable," Zhiji said.
"Where is this inevitability?" Xu Zhi asked.
"Firstly, the rules of the Chaos Sea are incomplete. After the universe split, this aspect remained vacant. The surface of the Chaos Sea is lifeless, desolate, and quiet. It is natural for Saints to conform to the Dao rules and complete the universe," Zhiji said. "And the barrenness outside the chaotic heavens of the universe is just one inevitable aspect."
"And the other aspect?"
"Another inevitable reason is the matter and energy floating and sinking in the Chaos Sea," Zhiji said solemnly, looking at the Chaos Sea. "Fishing! Have you noticed? You should know that as the Chaos Sea accumulates sediment, the amount of matter inside increases, and the number of ancient objects becomes vast. The settling of these materials represents an enormous loss of cosmic matter."
Xu Zhi suddenly realized, "Are you saying that this current era of the Myriad Worlds Universe is indeed an inevitable emergence?"
"It should be so," Zhiji said. "The condensed matter of those 129,600 universes doesn't come from plundering nine universes, but from the Chaos Sea. They are like animals cleaning up the accumulated waste of the grand universe, completely recycling the matter. You should know that the current universe is incomplete!"
"It is indeed incomplete," Xu Zhi answered seriously.
"After the universe was severed from the Nine Yuan Universes and shattered, it was no longer a unified whole. Its energy and matter did not perfectly self-cycle; there was loss, settling in the Chaos Sea. Those Saints always liked to casually discard waste into the sea..."
"And now, it's equivalent to completely repairing the universe, truly recycling its energy," Zhiji said.
Xu Zhi suddenly understood.
These great figures were indeed formidable. Their words saved him too much deduction, and their understanding of the Chaos Sea was profoundly deep.
Instantly, after listening, Xu Zhi had new ideas and a refined concept for his plan.
"Thank you very much," Xu Zhi said.
"No, I should be thanking you," Zhiji countered, shaking her head. "You have shown me the inevitable era of this universe, the path of the protagonist in the future era."
"What defines a protagonist?" Xu Zhi asked.
Zhiji smiled. "This is a path of transcendence, proving the Dao for the universe, completing its flaws. In my current humble opinion, there should be a Saint who will prove the Dao for the cosmic rules, testifying to the 129,600 universes..."
"Of course, it's not a direct proving, but rather, by proving the Dao of rules, allowing them to integrate with this universe, enabling these cosmic beings to reduce repulsion and adapt to the grand cosmic environment."
She planned to contact the ancient beings of the Longevity Dao Palace and seek out some prodigies, having them prove the Dao of this rule. The protagonists of this era would inevitably need to be under their command for them to feel at ease.
"As a universe myself, I would also want people to prove the Dao of these universes, allowing these special 129,600 universes to better exist within the grand universe, becoming a part of its rules," Zhiji said.
Xu Zhi's eyes lit up. "That is truly excellent!"
"Huh?" Zhiji was momentarily stunned. Why was he suddenly thanking her again?
"This is for the benefit of the entire universe, so naturally, thanks are due. All living beings will be blessed," Xu Zhi said seriously.
