Chapter 1273: I Give Them the Best Opportunity

In the vast Chaos Sea, a shadow loomed in the distance.

Invisible storms buffeted the ship, and the saints on deck were filled with dread.

"What is that?"

"Its shape... it's not like a trilobite, is it?"

They resided on the deck, which was the outer chaos of this universe—the abode of saints. Meanwhile, the interior of the Algae Universe was a vast and perfected world.

"This universe is enormous. If it were a miniature universe like a trilobite, it would be extremely dangerous, but we should have nothing to fear..."

"Quickly, dive down and pursue it!"

"It's a conch!"

A gasp of excitement followed, as if a biologist had discovered a new species.

"A new species, indeed..."

Zhiji frowned slightly and said, "They've gone to pursue it. If they can settle in, they might gain control of a second minor universe... then, they won't rely as much on this Algae Universe."

"So what?" Xu Zhi said calmly.

Zhiji was somewhat speechless, reminding him, "They could just kick you out, or even pilot that new universe to sail wherever they wish."

Xu Zhi, however, still shook his head, leisurely sipping tea and eating fruit. "My biggest fear is them lacking ambition and becoming completely stagnant. This is quite good now."

"The future era will inevitably be the era of myriad universes."

"In the 129,600 universes, every saint can attain a physical manifestation. If we include the nine great universes, that totals up to 129,609 selves."

"While the nine saint bodies in the nine great universes are certainly important... the bodies in the other minor myriad universes are also extremely crucial. In the future, saints will have a sufficient number of bodies across the myriad universes, making them practically immortal."

Xu Zhi put down his teacup, having foreseen a grand trend, and explained it to Zhiji.

Zhiji also nodded, knowing it to be true in her heart.

Originally there were nine; now there are so many. How could you kill them all?

They're unkillable!

At the same time, her heart churned with even greater turmoil. She thought to herself, "In this way, killing certain beings will become very difficult. Our Longevity Dao Palace's absolute control over the entire grand universe will plummet to rock bottom!"

Originally, they controlled nine universes, and no matter where their opponents were, they could eliminate them.

The so-called saints were merely insignificant ripples in the tide of the era...

But now, the Chaos Sea is too vast, with countless myriad universes drifting within it, like countless small islands beyond nine great continents. To kill an opponent will be extremely difficult!

The more Zhiji thought about it, the more alarmed she became.

She felt that the era was becoming somewhat terrifying...

This grand trend had an irreversible, catastrophic impact on them.

As they spoke, they had already approached the Conch Universe.

The two universes violently collided, and the saints, as if passing through two cell walls, entered directly through the membrane.

"I'm the first one!"

"No, I am!"

Countless saints scrambled, vying for godhood in this universe, eager to attain enlightenment and secure a seat on the Great Dao.

Zhiji's frown deepened.

Soon, they gained control of the Conch Universe and discovered a terrifying aspect: it was an omnivorous universe, and simultaneously, an amphibious universe!

Amphibious!

What did this mean?

It meant that by further perfecting the Great Dao rules of this universe and allowing it to reach maturity, there was a possibility of briefly climbing ashore, onto the beach!

"A conch means we have the possibility of reaching the shore!"

This was astonishing!

Time flew by; another hundred years passed.

As a force controlling two universes, with saint bodies established in both, they gradually became renowned in this Chaos Sea.

The saints divided the Chaos Sea into four oceans.

Meanwhile, in the "East Sea" region, following Xu Zhi's suggestion, they adopted the name "Old Sage Whitebeard" for their faction, proclaiming themselves as vigorous elders from the old era ready to board the new era's great ship. They even left themselves a renowned saying:

"I have a bright pearl, long locked by dust and toil.Now the dust is gone, light shines forth, illuminating myriad green mountains."

Magnificent! Dominating!

These old-era saints made quite a name for themselves in the East Sea region of the Chaos Sea.

At this time, the entire massive Algae Universe, with the completion by the saints and the perfection of its Great Dao rules, gradually began to awaken its own consciousness...

"You all... are my people..."

"I am the Will of the Heavenly Dao..."

"Develop the universe, and I shall contend for the Great Dao's fortune and annex other myriad worlds..."

The Heavenly Dao consciousness had finally emerged.

All the saints felt both joy and complexity. The joy came naturally from the universe's complete perfection and strengthening. The complexity arose from the universe developing its own intelligence, meaning that from then on, as saints of this universe, they would have to act according to the universe's will.

Another hundred years passed.

The Era of the Four Chaos Seas fully erupted.

The Chaos Sea was now teeming with life; species flourished, and various unimaginable deep-sea leviathans rose and fell within it.

Major forces fully rose to prominence. The universes controlled by Medusa, Di Qi, Caroline, the Three Pillar Gods, and others established formidable reputations in this domain.

Using their improved composite bloodlines, their battle prowess was earth-shattering, directly subduing many saints and carving out a fearsome reputation.

On the other side, Zhang Youling's player-controlled "Calamity Fleet" traversed the nine major multiverses, continuously invading coastal areas. They transformed into an immortal, burning calamity, plundering resources, and calling themselves pirates.

"Saints are immortal, the Great Dao endures. I am a pirate of saints!"

This pirate proclaimed himself thus.

At this time.

"In the Chaos Sea, all beings are equal."

Di Qi stood on the deck with his hands behind his back. "What if multi-dimensional saints possess heaven-shaking power in the great universe? Here, what matters is the ability to attain enlightenment within the minor myriad universes each controls—true hard power! Everyone masters the universe's most powerful rules; it's about talent and how to utilize it!"

When two universe-ships collide, it's not just about the size of their universes; it's also about one's learning and the rules of enlightenment. This is a true test of wisdom.

On the other side.

In a universe more than ten times vaster than Xu Zhi's Algae Universe...

Caroline smiled faintly. "It's finally a success. I'm following the path of the Creation God; I am now the Creation God...."

Using her improved new composite bloodline—a fusion of demon core, full clan, and nine-revolution elements—she merged the spiritual universe in her mind with this material Algae Universe. She had completely walked the cultivation path of a Creation God, directly replacing the nascent will of this universe!

If this news spread, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar!

Replacing the universe's will, completely controlling a universe, becoming its Heavenly Dao and Creation God—how astonishing was that?

All the saints currently exploring the Chaos Sea would be severely shocked!

And this was merely a cultivation technique, one that could be called a method for seizing control of a universe—the path of a Creation God, replacing the universe's intelligence!

At this moment, the Three Pillar Gods were also like Caroline.

This composite bloodline of demon core, full clan, and nine-revolution elements was a result of their joint improvement and fusion with Caroline. However, their focuses differed: Caroline emphasized the full clan, while they emphasized the demon core.

"We, too, have become the Heavenly Dao of this universe."

The Three Pillar Gods stated calmly, "The rules of this universe are now completely unique. The past and future timelines, destiny itself, will all be in our grasp!"

For them, this was the greatest opportunity.

They arrived at precisely the right moment!

Previously, to become multi-dimensional saints, they not only needed astonishing talent but also long eras of accumulation and planning to 'smuggle' themselves into each universe, with each primordial universe taking endless years to succeed...

But now?

There was an effortless, massive opportunity to become a multi-dimensional saint.

As ordinary saints of the younger generation, they had caught the best era. They didn't need to stagnate but directly boarded the high-speed train of the era, moving towards multi-dimensionality!

"But is that truly the case? Did they simply happen to catch the best era?"

Xu Zhi remained seated in his chair, acting as the mastermind, observing the excited old crew members and Zhiji watching nearby. He calmly sipped his tea, looking leisurely.

"It's not that Di Qi and the others coincidentally caught the best era...."

"Rather, as soon as they reached this realm, I opened up the next era for them, built universe-ships, and cleared various routes... allowing them to quickly attain enlightenment as multi-dimensional saints. That's all."

Xu Zhi, in a daze, recalled his promise to Caroline and the others from long ago: realms are created by people, and as long as he didn't fall, he would certainly open up a distant, brand-new future for them.

After all, without them developing various heaven-defying abilities, there would be no Xu Zhi creating universes today.

"It seems they're having a lot of fun and moving towards multi-dimensionality... But they themselves aren't surprised; they take it for granted. For them, previous eras also underwent dramatic, exaggerated changes, and they personally opened up former realms. They've long grown accustomed to it; what they see now is just another dramatic shift in eras..."

"After all, they know about the Creation God, so they're already used to it..."

Xu Zhi sat on the deck, propping his chin, fishing, and looked at Zhiji, who was gazing at the Chaos Sea in shock, carefully pondering it.

"She, on the other hand, is making a fuss over nothing. It seems... there's truly no difference from the development of the previous extraordinary sandbox worlds."
