Chapter 1289: Three-Year Deadline Has Arrived?

Hearing this, everyone felt a rush of complex emotions. Had the Ultra Ancient God calculated this moment long ago? Even before the grand cosmic trend began, they had already laid such profound groundwork in secret! Previously, when they were asked to research species evolution and bloodline evolution theories, it was apparently all preparation for this very day.

"I once naively thought we were simply meant to gradually evolve heaven-defying bloodline species and master rules to compete for dominance in this universe. Little did I know, we were merely sitting in a well, looking at the sky!"

"Gasp! So, the Ultra Ancient God's vision was already beyond the universe. Their aim wasn't internal cosmic dominance, but preparation for the myriad realms of the future!"

"Because bloodlines are now utterly useless, we must study the rules of their emergence to deduce new rules and thereby control the grand cosmic trend!"

"The Ultra Ancient God is even calculating against the ancient titans of the Immortal Realm!"

"Using the God of Destruction and the grand trend of the era, they will be overthrown!"

"Incredible!"

"Even the Emperor Disciple under the Ultra Ancient God's command is likely part of the calculation, having easily captured the heart of one of those ancient beings!"

"Ahhh! Who else but me?!"

Xu Zhi scrolled through these comments, page after page, all filled with shock at the Ultra Ancient God's grand plan and exaggerated praise for their foresight. They never imagined that the "Spore Evolution" game was designed as a strategy for this era. Xu Zhi couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a little awkward. Before this, he had indeed just been evolving extraordinary bloodlines, using heaven-defying bloodlines with the intention of dominating the universe. If they looked down on such "short-sighted" actions, wouldn't the previous generations of Zerg Queens be on the verge of tears? Their goal was precisely that: to evolve bloodline life within a universe and master the source power, becoming the strongest. Moreover, they were already the top heaven-defying race in the universe. These people were becoming increasingly arrogant; according to their logic, previous Zerg Queens would have degenerated into country bumpkins. Xu Zhi was quite surprised by this. Still, he continued to read, eager to see what outrageous things they would say next and how they would explain them.

The big players had already begun to make collective vows. Moe Girl declared, "Now is the time for us to show our true colors! We need to tell these things to Carolyn, the Three Pillar Gods, and Emperor Qi, who are still far away. Let them join forces to deduce a new world!"

The Alchemy Emperor stated, "The Ultra Ancient God's calculations can be said to be preparing for a rainy day. They don't understand the system of life evolution! Simply cultivating the traditional rule system is naturally inferior to us!"

Balloon Fish exclaimed, "Brothers, let's go, go, go! There are no predicaments that knowledge can't solve, only hairlines that can't withstand the grind! Everyone, work hard!"

Some also noticed a blind spot. Heavenly Dao Piano commented, "According to this, wouldn't the evolved universe, occupied by the Great Octopus, become the septic tank of all heavens, a walking latrine, a public restroom for oceanic cosmic beings? (Disgusted.jpg)"

Everyone: "......"

They froze for a few seconds, their eyes not flickering with fear, but with… immense joy! It was as if a single phrase had awakened them from a dream. In their hearts, they felt a vast and grand plan emerging, one that could put many saints in the universe through a harsh trial!

Their original nature was compassionate, kind, and averse to conflict. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art and other bloodlines they had evolved were all non-combat types. Only the Great Octopus's bloodline was that of a decisive generation of killing gods!

"Brothers, I have an idea..."

"Don't tell me you also..."

"Hahahaha, it was truly worthwhile to have met and discussed the Dao with you all! It seems you are all people of one mind!"

"Then quickly contact the Great Octopus and Emperor Zun! Have Zhiji figure out a way to capture it, or cede a universe to the Great Octopus. We've just deduced the Great Octopus's bloodline; it's time to strike while the iron is hot, continue deducing, and form an exaggerated cosmic combat power!"

"Emperor Zun's unsophisticated little wife was still troubled, but the Great Octopus told her it had already overcome its difficulties – so sharp! (Anticipation.jpg)"

"Hurry, let the Great Octopus go show off!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Tell Zhiji this whole theory! I can barely contain my primeval power!"

"Finally, Zhiji smirked: 'The three-year period has ended. The wretched son-in-law, who endured your humiliation, was cast out of the family, and married to a cripple—today, the Dragon King returns, and will no longer endure!' (At this moment, the Great Octopus stepped forward, and all the saints were aghast: 'How can such a divine creature exist in this world? It secretly aligns with the future trend of heaven and earth, destined to stir up rivers and seas, becoming the Dragon King in the Sea of Chaos!')"

The comments exploded more and more, scrolling faster and faster.

Xu Zhi: "..." He was stunned. After all that, they were back to plotting against him? Why bother him when Emperor Qi, Carolyn, and the Three Pillar Gods were available?

By the time Xu Zhi collected himself, the Great Octopus was already excitedly waddling on the deck, running to share its "research findings" with Zhiji.

"Based on my observations, the grand trend of this universe is that what has been divided for a long time will unite, and what has been united for a long time will divide..." The Great Octopus spoke animatedly, with an arrogant air, as if saying, "If it weren't for Emperor Zun, I wouldn't bother with a country bumpkin like you."

Zhiji, who had been standing on the deck, worrying with the other saints about the future structure of the Sea of Chaos, couldn't help but be astonished. She secretly thought, "My husband truly has a discerning eye for people. He immediately saw that this alien octopus was different... It can even deduce a corner of the future and see a way to break this deadlock!"

"It has described an unbelievable grand era!"

"It seems incredible... yet, it is also destined!"

"This octopus... appears foolish, but is truly extraordinary!"

Although her thinking might be fixed and she lacked creativity, her vast experience allowed her to immediately grasp its feasibility. Even if she now saw the method, it was indeed as stated: without sufficient knowledge of bloodline evolution and the cosmic understanding of the Great Dao Diagram, one would have to start from scratch, which would be extremely slow. However, this octopus claimed to be exceptionally gifted in this area and had displayed some talent, genuinely astonishing Zhiji.

"It wants a universe, preferably a seaweed universe as it's a better fit. It also wants to direct the saints to repair the DNA rule map of the Dao-proving universe according to its opinions, allowing the seaweed universe to evolve and enter its cosmic maturity stage... It's not impossible to let it try."

In the end, Zhiji agreed.

The Great Octopus was instantly ecstatic, as agreement was, predictably, well within reason.

After all, what was needed was not just knowledge of biological bloodline evolution, but also cosmic diagram evolution knowledge! Biological bloodline evolution knowledge was already extremely rare! As for cosmic diagram evolution knowledge and the laws of singularity explosion evolution... besides the Heavenly Sound Sect and Moe Girl, who else possessed such evolutionary data? Only by evolving countless universes and countless Great Dao diagrams could this system be summarized. This was a unique first-mover advantage; could those saints possibly understand? Singularity Explosion Theory! Great Dao Diagram Theory! These were only accessible to individual beings because the God of Destruction had lowered their permissions. Therefore, the Great Octopus, by revealing some of its knowledge, wasn't at all afraid of disagreement.

Moreover, Emperor Zun was there to put in a good word.

Immediately, a magnificent cosmic transformation was fully unleashed.

The Great Octopus stayed up all night, writing down various pathways for several saints to prove their Dao separately. They were so dense and intricate that they were incomprehensible to others.

The saints were instantly astonished after reading them.

"Within these, a certain pattern is contained!"

"The universe is also a life form, with its own bloodline. Can it truly develop genuine bloodline talents and cultivate bloodline techniques like other living beings?"

"Can it even reproduce offspring?"

They were greatly alarmed, and Zhiji also observed from the side, secretly imitating.

It was only gradually that they began to realize something was wrong; the entire universe suddenly and inexplicably started to reek...
