Xu Zhi couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

Zhi Ji glanced at Xu Zhi. "Do you know a certain truth? When a place achieves a high degree of unity, severe class stratification occurs. In that vast, desolate universe before, most civilizations were life-bearing planets. They grew in secret, hidden in some remote corner of the cosmos. That kind of growth simply doesn't happen here. This place is different."

Xu Zhi sharply realized something. "Because they are highly developed, the universe has become a cosmic village? Any nascent civilization that appears will be discovered?"

Zhi Ji smiled. "In the vastness of the universe, with constant light speed and other speeds, it's incredibly expansive. It's very difficult for a Ninth-Tier Dao Attainer civilization to truly understand what lies beyond the endless star-studded sky. But here, the universe is effectively smaller, and communication is unobstructed. Nascent civilizations are quickly observed and controlled. Gradually, they are monopolized by a group of mediocrities, leading to severe class solidification. New planetary civilizations must be registered, monitored, and controlled. You need to be careful if you seek Dao Attainment in such a universe."

Xu Zhi was stunned. Such a universe was too cruel, devoid of any hope. Class solidification, rigidity.

Xu Zhi had previously felt that their own universe was already highly stratified, but compared to this one, it was incredibly free. In their own vast, boundless sea of stars, most life-bearing planets had no contact with each other. "You develop yours, I develop mine." Even ancient legacies were fragmented and could only be sought in ancient ruins, but this very fact offered hope.

"I understand, I'll be careful," Xu Zhi said earnestly.

"More than just careful," Zhi Ji corrected. She shook her head. "This place is known as the universe where successful 'stowaway' Dao Attainment is most difficult. Every civilization is registered and highly developed, earning it the title 'land of nightmares' among the Saints." Zhi Ji smiled faintly. "Also, do you think that because it's highly developed and universes are interconnected, the number of Saints appearing here will increase? You're mistaken! The number of Saints here is roughly the same as in other universes. Although it appears highly developed, class solidification is severe, and civilizations are monopolized. Talented individuals are suppressed. It's highly developed, but suffers from severe internal conflict."

Xu Zhi fully understood, sighing. "It seems a vast, expansive universe, with wilderness everywhere, is where civilization finds its hope."

Zhi Ji suddenly smiled. "I'll tell you a secret. I also saw on an ancient tablet a record of the Saint who achieved Dao in this 'variable' universe. It's said he was a man who loved to marry women from everywhere, a minor node overlord in this universe. But he tried to marry a woman from another universe—someone he shouldn't have touched, who was incredibly prolific—and was brutally killed as a result."

Xu Zhi was startled. "You even know such gossip?"

Zhi Ji smiled slightly, thinking to herself, 'Later, that incredibly prolific Zerg Mother Queen was also defeated by Master. And that man's bloodline, 'Rapid Transformation,' indirectly fell into their hands. It's now held in the bloodline library, at the very top. This bloodline is one of the core rules of this universe. She had used it many times, becoming the overlord of this universe, defeating many enemies. Their Longevity Dao Palace holds many core rules for each universe. By integrating them, one can become an invincible Saint in that universe. They possess endless bloodline combinations, allowing them to specifically counter opponents, making them invincible. It could be said that the nine universes are already their possessions, their backyard.'

Xu Zhi nodded. "Can't you enter this parallel universe?"

"I am a universe; naturally, I wouldn't manifest a physical body within a greater universe." Zhi Ji chuckled heartily, naturally not mentioning that the reason she wouldn't generate another self was because she already stood at the pinnacle of this parallel universe. As one of the Nine Origin Saints of the parallel universe, she naturally had one of her powerful true bodies within this parallel universe, capable of sweeping across an entire cosmos. This was a truly complete multidimensional Saint! In fact, many generations of Zerg Mother Queens who were multidimensional Saints were personally defeated and annihilated by her from various multiverses. It was just that she wasn't showing herself currently. Due to her innate bloodline, which excels in tracking, hunting, and soul detection, she was the primary spokesperson from the Longevity Dao Palace for handling external affairs.

"But you are truly daring," Zhi Ji kindly reminded him. "Just casually deploying yourself like that, aren't you afraid of being killed? If something goes wrong, you'll be completely dead."

In each parallel universe, there could only be one self. If that self died, it meant the self in *that specific parallel universe* was truly dead! Scattered souls and spirits! Even if one were to 'stowaway' again, they couldn't generate another self in that same universe because a 'self' had already appeared there once. Therefore, a complete Saint of nine universes would surely die if killed nine times, once in each universe. This was precisely why Zhi Ji was somewhat surprised. Simply deploying without any preparation. If this nascent self in this universe were to simply die, it would mean the loss of Dao Attainment in one universe, preventing completeness. This was an incredibly important matter concerning one's own future!

"Why wouldn't I be afraid?" Xu Zhi shook his head. Seeing that she was no longer using that divine ability, he felt at ease and continued, "But even with fear, I must cross over. This is about seeking wealth in danger. Now is a time of chaos, a good opportunity to 'stowaway' into this great universe. If I die, I die. There's no other way."

"I see." Zhi Ji nodded, feeling a mix of emotion and pity for the pitiful struggles of these mortals. It was truly sad, especially for this "salted fish"; if he died, he died. Zhi Ji found this person quite special.

"But you trust me implicitly. If I had any malicious intent and killed this reincarnated Saint body, your future would be completely ruined." Zhi Ji was somewhat surprised.

Emperor Zun said with a smile, "I trust you utterly. You are the universe destined to become my Dao companion."

Zhi Ji also nodded, feeling that this mortal genuinely trusted her; otherwise, he wouldn't reveal such a crucial matter before her. "Alas, there's a distinction between immortals and mortals. Your love for me is futile." Zhi Ji shook her head. The other party could only exist as a brief ripple in an era, transient and insignificant. To her, he was no different from a mortal, unless he could enter the Longevity Dao Palace. But entry was not granted simply by desire; throughout all eras, no precedent had ever been set.

However, this was not actually the case. Xu Zhi had no intention of attaining Dao in the Nine Origin Universe at all. He no longer planned to follow the orthodox path. So what if his path in the Nine Origin Universe was ruined or incomplete?

But Zhi Ji was unaware. While sighing with emotion, she secretly decided to intervene and protect this person's reincarnated body in this universe. However, something that surprised and dumbfounded her occurred.

"Since this universe is so dangerous and the risk of being discovered is high, I can't just cultivate step by step. I need to find some local Saints to help." Xu Zhi thought for a moment, then directly manipulated the vast Seaweed Universe, making it circle along the coastline. A signboard was suspended above it:

"Sainthood position in this Seaweed Universe for sale. Interested parties, please contact."

Instantly, countless coastal Saint Dao fields began to shake.

Zhi Ji: "..."

'This person is truly a "salted fish." He's actually giving away such a massive opportunity to others? This current opportunity is clearly more valuable than the Saint position in this great universe, because Saints in *that* universe can 'stowaway' and achieve Dao anytime. But this present one is the only chance to seize the initiative.'
