Xu Zhi's gaze drifted around, but he couldn't find a way out.

"This mortal..." Pheasant Ji was filled with a mix of shame and anger. This man was truly an enigma; he had been pursuing her relentlessly before, but now he had no courage? Yet, she wasn't truly angry. Before her was an unimaginably pure and holy contemporary saint, devoid of selfishness, dedicated to educating all beings. This was truly the speech and conduct of a saint. It was precisely this demeanor that had always earned her admiration. One must understand how incredible it was for an immortal like herself to descend to the mortal realm and be willing to become a Dao companion with a mortal! Previously, such a thing would have been utterly impossible. Throughout her long life, it wasn't that she had never been moved; in fact, she had been moved many, many times, encountering countless brilliant talents who, like this man, had slightly stirred her heart. But she knew there was a distinction between immortals and mortals; the other party would surely die of old age, and she would only add to her own pain. It was only now, perhaps because she might not live to see the next era, that she was easily swayed. This young man's conversation and knowledge had also resolved her inner turmoil, and she was indeed moved. And a little bit of feeling was already enough. Since she might not live to see the future, she might as well live this life with fervor.

"Senior, since you are not a universe, you must be an unimaginably multidimensional saint. Our lifespans might differ, creating a generational gap," Xu Zhi said earnestly, taking a step back.

"Senior?" Pheasant Ji was completely stunned. Was he implying she was old? For her to make such a proactive move was unprecedented, yet someone was actually complaining she was old? For ancient saints, age was long irrelevant. What exactly was going on in this saint's mind? Such an unusual saint... Pheasant Ji smiled, pulling at the corners of her stiff lips, and said gently, "I am only 7.62 million years old this year. For a multidimensional saint with a lifespan of 90 million years, I am just a young girl who has recently come of age. You are a multidimensional saint, likely having attained Dao in two or three universes, so your lifespan is probably at least 20 million years, right?" Twenty million years old was already considered relatively young among multidimensional saints; Pheasant Ji was trying to guess his age in the younger direction. Most multidimensional saints were around 40 to 50 million years old. The lifespan of ordinary saints was only a few million years, showing the immense difference.

"You're only a little over seven million years old?" Xu Zhi was dumbfounded. This person was actually younger than the previous Nine-Headed Ancient Mother? *You're a monster over 10 billion years old, and probably many previous Zerg empresses were killed by you. Do you really think I don't know?*

"It's not that the older you are, the stronger your combat power," Pheasant Ji explained, drinking as she moved closer and sat beside him. Her long, flowing hair carried a refreshing fragrance. "My situation is special. I can simultaneously attain Dao in nine primeval universes. I was already a Nine-Prime Multidimensional Saint when I was just over thirteen thousand years old."

Xu Zhi was stunned. Becoming a saint at just over thirteen thousand years old—wasn't that Emperor Qi's age? But Emperor Qi broke through even younger; he was only a little over twelve thousand years old now. Another formidable person like Emperor Qi! Caroline and the Three Pillar Gods' aptitudes were actually a step below. They weren't yet saints in the Grand Universe, only in the smaller universes within the ocean. Now they were saints, but in the Grand Universe, it would take them ten or twenty thousand years to succeed and complete the path to Tenth Order. After all, for a Ninth Order Dao attainer to complete their journey within twenty or thirty thousand years out of a hundred thousand years was already astonishing. And at just over ten thousand years old, in the context of a hundred thousand years, it was like a teenager breaking through directly to become a teenage saint. Caroline and the others were a step below, equivalent to saints in their twenties or thirties.

Xu Zhi secretly murmured to himself, "This is also an ancient young saint, on the same level as Emperor Qi. This means that the Longevity Dao Palace is filled with monstrous talents like Emperor Qi. This Pheasant Ji, before my eyes, likely possesses some similarly heaven-defying talent." Xu Zhi felt he couldn't afford to provoke her. "If their members are all on Emperor Qi's level, then their true master must be..." Xu Zhi couldn't imagine how monstrous that would be. In his own cultivation up to now, he had only produced one Emperor Qi. All others, like Caroline, Medusa, and so on, were almost all second-tier geniuses. But there wasn't an absolute gap; after all, diligent geniuses also had a chance to catch up, like Medusa, the most ruthless person.

"If you don't believe me, then so be it," Pheasant Ji shook her head. "I have no reason to lie to you. I am truly younger than you. I was already a multidimensional saint at just over seven million years old. I alone can overturn the entire current universe. My heritage is very ancient; I was born to investigate the drastic changes of this era." She was a saint from the Cosmic Bridge era, when universes were interconnected. Most saints then achieved Dao in nine primeval universes simultaneously, and geniuses typically attained Dao around ten thousand years old and broke through to sainthood by thirty thousand. Once they broke through, they were already the highest Nine-Prime Saints. And she was one of the strongest of that era, standing at the very pinnacle of the universe after just over ten thousand years. For the next few million years, she was engaged in battles, establishing the Longevity Realm. Her lifespan became fixed then, and she remained dormant in the Longevity Realm, only awakening for important matters. The Longevity Realm was a means to stealthily travel to the distant future, not truly living through such a long period. And over the past 10 billion years, the total time she had been awake was only a little over one hundred thousand years. She was only 7.62 million years old, and this was her reason for her arrogance and elevated demeanor: later eras were simply too barren and backward!

"You are not a universe. I intend to take a universe as my Dao companion," Xu Zhi stated very seriously.

Pheasant Ji was utterly dumbfounded. It was the first time she had encountered someone so unyielding. "I am not a universe; I am merely an individual life form. But I am younger than you, and I am a Perfect Nine-Dimensional Saint. I should be worthy of you, shouldn't I? Besides, I have never been married. There is no woman in this world with better qualities than me," Pheasant Ji said, her eyes like silken threads, as she leaned against Xu Zhi, drinking. With such a warm, jade-like figure in his arms, a flicker of heat also rose in Xu Zhi's heart.

"You're just being impulsive," Xu Zhi suddenly said.

"Yes, I am very angry! I don't know what all my efforts before were for. I only have 80 million years of lifespan left; I might die." Pheasant Ji's voice suddenly fell silent, carrying a chilling and complex bitterness. Others wouldn't understand her words; after all, this was the lifespan of a normal multidimensional saint. Her lifespan was still in its infancy, with over 80 million years remaining. There was no apparent reason for her sorrow. But Xu Zhi vaguely sensed something.

Xu Zhi fell silent for a moment. He was no gentleman; since he wouldn't suffer any loss, and there was a way to avenge the past Zerg empresses, Xu Zhi didn't bother to hesitate and simply picked her up.
