In the Sea of Chaos, Pheasant Ji suddenly opened her eyes, as if sensing something. "It's really about to begin."

"What's happening?" Xu Zhi asked.

Pheasant Ji shook her head. "Certain ancient beings are starting to emerge and lay out their plans. It's for the eleventh-tier. My true body has also emerged now, bringing with it full-peak combat power."

Xu Zhi was stunned.

It seemed that even within the Longevity World, there was internal strife and chaos. It was far from a monolithic entity, and not easily subdued. He feared that chaos beyond even Pheasant Ji's imagination was now emerging. Pheasant Ji alone had eliminated successive generations of Insect Race Mother Emperors. How terrifying, then, were the other beings who had never emerged until now?

"Eleventh-tier?" Xu Zhi pretended to be very surprised.

"The eleventh-tier is a legend, a realm that doesn't inherently exist," Pheasant Ji explained simply. "It can only be unlocked when the universe is completely perfected and mature. Just like the current universe, it's still incomplete and imperfect. Therefore, the upper limit for powerful beings it can accommodate isn't high! The eleventh-tier cannot appear!"

"So that's how it is!" Xu Zhi nodded, listening to her concise description.

Pheasant Ji had been secretive before, but now she seemed to be directly telling Xu Zhi some ancient stories, such as her origin from the Longevity World. After all, if she didn't tell him now, he would certainly find out in the future.

"The final era, perhaps, has already arrived," Pheasant Ji sighed. "The non-existent realm, sealed in prophecy, will open in this era."

"And according to this deduction, the new pattern of the myriad worlds, the so-called 'Era of Dharma-Ending' for the universe, isn't the true Dharma-Ending Era. Because while the nine great cosmic continents are moving towards the Dharma-Ending, with the Great Dao sealed and exhausted, the myriad worlds outside still boast countless flourishing Saints."

Xu Zhi listened to Pheasant Ji's words. "Then us..."

"I've acquired some bloodlines, truly unprecedented. My own bloodline capacity is full, so I can give you a portion. What kind of bloodline do you want?" Pheasant Ji thought for a moment and said, "I've obtained some second-tier Great Dao bloodlines. They each have their flaws, but they are still very powerful. Each universe has about five such bloodlines, capable of perfectly creating a multidimensional Saint."

Xu Zhi was utterly dumbfounded. Was this the charm of being a kept man? Although he didn't intend to follow the multidimensional path of the nine great universes, he could certainly accept this combat power that was being offered to him.

"Bloodlines can be freely replaced?" Xu Zhi asked.

Typically, while new Great Dao bloodlines could be integrated to replace old ones, the old Great Dao bloodlines would simply disappear. But she seemed capable of loading and unloading them. It was like a super turret that could freely equip weapons to engage specific enemies.

"Normally impossible, but it's certainly possible for us," Pheasant Ji smiled. "We have stripping-type bloodlines with this function. They can defeat an opponent and strip away each of their bloodlines, and they can also strip our own.... If I don't want to use one, I can strip it into my bloodline library and carry it, then re-equip it when I want to. I currently have ninety-seven bloodlines, each defying the heavens..."

"Whereas a perfect Ten-Origin Multidimensional Saint can only have forty-five heaven-defying bloodlines simultaneously. I usually carry the remaining fifty-two bloodlines with me."

Xu Zhi gasped. There was this kind of development path? Xu Zhi himself hadn't unlocked this tech tree – stripping-type bloodlines. Who could possibly defeat them? Their perfect Ten-Origin Multidimensional Saints had forty-five Great Dao bloodlines that could be dismantled and replaced at any time, with over fifty more in reserve, allowing them to handle any situation and counter any combat form of enemy.

No wonder the Insect Race Mother Emperors were beaten to tears! They could switch bloodlines at any time, with forty-five ready to specifically counter you! The opponent truly had everything.

Xu Zhi murmured to himself, "Fortunately, I took a different path halfway through, not evolving bloodlines, but evolving universes and engaging in dimensional reduction attacks. Otherwise, it would have been a dead end. Indeed, I can't compare combat power directly with them."

A single Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, a composite type, was likely already a heaven-defying, top-priority bloodline in the Longevity World... But he only had one, while they had forty-five? How could he fight them?

Times were advancing, just as Yi Mang had said back then: How could an era become weaker the more it developed? Eras could only grow stronger. The current Pheasant Ji's combat power had likely far surpassed that of Yi Mang back then. This wasn't because Yi Mang was weak, but because the era had progressed, just as future eras would see even more perfect cosmic structures emerge.

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "You should keep those as spares; that way, your combat power will be stronger."

Pheasant Ji shook her head. "Combat power within the nine main universes is no longer relevant to the overall situation. The future grand trend isn't in the multiverse, but in the myriad worlds.... So giving you some is fine. Besides, you can't even 'consume' forty-five; you're just an ordinary Saint of one universe, able to 'consume' at most five."

Giving five, in Pheasant Ji's eyes, wasn't much. Moreover, her husband needed some self-preservation ability. His talent and wisdom were clearly so strong, yet his combat power was so low; she truly didn't know how he managed. She blinked. "Only when you become stronger will you maintain your standing as a husband."

Xu Zhi was speechless.

*Whoosh.* A list of bloodlines quickly appeared before Xu Zhi. He scanned through them, finding it astonishing; there were all types of bloodlines, each truly defying the heavens. Even the lowest-tier ones were Great Dao bloodlines on the level of the Five Abyssal Blue God Domains, formed through enlightenment.

"These are just the worst ones she's discarded," Xu Zhi thought to himself. "The forty-five on Pheasant Ji are probably all Great Dao bloodlines composed of composite bloodlines."

Xu Zhi reviewed them and, indeed, the cosmic bloodlines were almost solidified. It was impossible for him to catch up by trailing behind. Fortunately, he wasn't competing in bloodlines, but in universes. Although they were all powerful and tempting, Xu Zhi thought about it and wasn't in a hurry. "We can wait a bit; there's no rush."

Pheasant Ji nodded as well, not insisting. She eventually sighed. "Don't take this lightly. The power and flourishing state of the strong beings who emerged with me are beyond your imagination. Back then, I was slightly inferior to them...."

"And they are still in their prime now, surging forward, their mental states conquering enemies, at the peak of their 'invincible' conviction!"

"Once they emerge, I fear it will take less than a few years to change the entire cosmic pattern and sweep through the entire universe..."

Xu Zhi nodded upon hearing this. Beings capable of overthrowing the first generation of Insect Race Mother Emperors were definitely super monsters... they could quickly seize the initiative in this universe! However, Xu Zhi was not intimidated in the slightest. He believed that with the secret boosts he had provided to Di Qi, Carolyn, and others, they had already seized the initiative. Once their universes developed, they would be able to fight back against these beings and contend for the opportunity of enlightenment.

The momentum of being a trailblazer was very important! Even if the opponents were incredibly formidable, they would still have to start from scratch, find a universe to "sail out" from, before embarking on their journey... From this perspective, they were more than a dozen beats slower than these ordinary Saints. One step ahead meant being ahead every step of the way; if the opponents wanted to catch up, they would have to start from the beginning...

Suddenly, the universe grew slightly quiet. A gentle breeze stirred. The currents of the Sea of Chaos seemed to inexplicably calm down. On the entire great ship, all the Saints felt a slight tremor in their hearts, as if some turning point of destiny had appeared in the universe.

The sky cleared. Xu Zhi, and all the Saints, vaguely sensed their cosmic true bodies, as a voice resonated through the sky beyond the heavens of chaos.

"I, Gu You, for the myriad worlds, bear witness to Chaos, opening... an era of flourishing peace."

A majestic voice echoed across the sky.

"Someone... is already bearing witness to the universe?" Xu Zhi was utterly stunned. He looked at the sky, his mind instantly numb. What kind of monster was this? Having just emerged, they had already grasped the entire pattern of the myriad worlds and directly chosen to bear witness for them? Di Qi, Medusa, and others had been journeying for so long, still without a single clue... yet this being figured out the rules the moment they emerged?

"This... this is too exaggerated, isn't it???" Xu Zhi looked up, gazing at the deep, hazy sky of the Sea of Chaos.

"You don't understand. They directly 'smuggled' themselves from the final moment of that ultimate, bloody battlefield where millions perished, into this era. They still retain that invincible spirit," Pheasant Ji looked up at the sky, her face reflecting an indescribable calm. "That was a glorious era. You can't imagine the brutality of the struggle for longevity, where all Saints perished.... How terrifying were those ten Sage Heavenly Venerates who remained when the universe was virtually emptied?"

"Perhaps they seem unknown to you, but their talent and knowledge are already comparable to the primordial Saints of ancient chaos, who opened up heaven and earth. This is because, at that time, each of them glimpsed a corner of the future 'eleventh-tier'."

Xu Zhi looked at the sky, silent. It was hard to imagine such a monstrous talent existed; he was beyond describing his level of shock.
