"What's wrong with me taking advantage of you?" Di Qi asked, completely unconcerned, striding onto the deck.

They knew each other?

This news spread like a hurricane, sweeping through the Saints on all the major ships across the Chaotic Sea.

They had just been promoting themselves everywhere.

They had initially assumed that selecting a Saint as their daughter was due to her talents or other qualities, and they had been quite indignant about it.

All the other Saints looked over, their gazes finally settling on the tranquil Saint who was drinking tea.

"Long time no see."

Caroline approached as well, saying, "You've been missing for so long, I wondered what you were occupied with. And to hear from this octopus that you're connected, and that you were hiding here..."

"Indeed, I never imagined you'd be living such a leisurely life."

The Three Pillar Gods were equally restless. "I recall how you once subdued us alone; that heroic presence is still vivid in my mind. When can we have another match?"

His identity... still commanded some respect from them?

The cosmic Saints on Zhi Ji's ship swallowed hard, stunned and, more than anything, incredulous.

The Saint before them, named Emperor, who had just spoken so righteously, rebuking them for their decay and age, urging them to be reborn and contend for the era, even entrusting universes to them for development, yet never developing one himself...

They had assumed he was a detached sage, uninterested in contending for epochs, yet he was already acquainted with them?

At this moment, these three mysterious individuals named Di Qi, whose origins were enigmatic and who acted tyrannically, had just displayed exceptional combat talent. The bloodline universe they had evolved was incredibly astounding, and they had even calculated against the ancient Saint named Gu You, opening the second great path rule. They were truly riding high, the protagonists of the era!

These three... were now the epitome of grace and nobility!

They even began to suspect that these individuals had obtained the legacy of that ancient Buddhist-Taoist civilization—the "Immortal Divine Mansion, Daoist Home with Heaven's Lifespan" civilization. Therefore, they must have known about this era of cosmic meteor showers and prepared in advance before the era truly began!

But the other party suddenly stepped off the ship...

They simply couldn't fathom his connection to the aloof and relaxed Emperor.

At this moment, the giant octopus proudly took a step forward. "Hmph, didn't you expect it? The three-year period is up! Emperor returns as the Dragon King, shocking the Saints of this era!"

"And I am one of the generals secretly serving His Majesty." The giant octopus was very proud.

The Saints nearby grew even more astonished.

This giant octopus, it turned out, was also part of this mysterious civilization's faction.

No wonder his previous methods were so exquisite, evolving the Death God universe before them. His bloodline was already very powerful; were it not for its inability to procreate, he might have been close to achieving the ability to produce offspring.

"I never imagined those three youngsters from back then would have grown to such an extent."

Emperor thought for a moment, then picked up a cup of tea. "You are very bold to directly open an era. That's directly confronting those ancient existences, walking on a tightrope; a slight misstep will lead to death."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

The Three Pillar Gods shook their heads. "In the Era of Myriad Worlds, every universe can have a parallel version of itself. Saints are virtually immortal, and they rule the multiverse. Are they truly capable of eliminating everyone outside? Therefore, there's no fear of retaliation; one can simply act as they please."

"Boldly challenging such ancient existences? And what about you? You're even bolder." Di Qi cast a sidelong glance at Zhi Ji. "At the very least, I couldn't do that! Back then, I was quite unconvinced by you! You were only stronger in combat because you had lived longer. I believed we would have a confrontation eventually... Now, in some aspects, I am truly convinced; I am indeed not as good as you!"

Even the proud Di Qi was uncharacteristically convinced.

Zhi Ji was thrown for a loop.

Her mind felt somewhat confused as she tried to sort out her current thoughts.

Her husband, clearly indifferent in temperament and not seeking fame or fortune...

This was something she had previously vouched for with her bloodline; it simply couldn't be false!

Previously, she had believed her husband's temperament to be simple and unassuming, not interested in fame or gain, and thus he couldn't be part of that so-called 'mastermind civilization.' Those individuals, she reasoned, must be ambitious.

It didn't align with her husband's character, so she hadn't considered it.

However, perhaps she had been mistaken.

"My husband, with his aloof and elegant temperament, truly isn't interested in contending for the era..." Zhi Ji murmured to herself. "But that doesn't mean he isn't from a particular civilization. It simply means that, although he originates from here, he isn't as ambitious as the other three, nor does he vie for the great trends of the era."

She looked at the three people before her.

They were indeed ruthless!

Yet, her husband had done nothing from beginning to end, remaining utterly relaxed... She had indeed not been mistaken about him.

With a whoosh, a thin mist suddenly enveloped them, isolating the immediate surroundings.

Only the few people present remained.

Caroline, for her part, was straightforward, immediately asking about recent developments.

"That Medusa, she only came to observe our battle. Now she's actually left with others, and I don't know what kind of dealings she has, perhaps even allying with them... Thinking back, she's cunning. She might have just shown up to make an appearance and see if any Saints would offer her advantages."

Caroline continued, "She's one matter, but there's been no news from Moon God Ji! You've been out of sight for so long this time; could it be that you were ordered to investigate their whereabouts?"

Ordered?

By whose order?

Zhi Ji couldn't help but let her mind race.

It seemed that these three, and her husband, all belonged to a certain civilization's faction.

There was a mysterious, unseen ruler behind them.

And that so-called Medusa was likely another faction; she seemed quite indifferent, even coming to watch the battle, as if her relationship with them was neither particularly good nor bad.

And "Moon God Ji" seemed to be a hostile force?

So, was that why they asked if her husband had come to investigate their movements?

Zhi Ji bit her finger, her pupils slightly contracting. "Long ages ago," she thought, "a certain ancient power left behind a prophecy of a cosmic meteor shower, anticipating the arrival of this era, and even plotting against our Immortality Realm. This power, the more I think about it, was likely the two fallen insect races. As losers, they were restless before death, unable to enter the Immortality Realm, forced to die outside, so they left various fallback ruins, predicting the future... And now, the knowledge and predictions about this Era of Myriad Worlds, left behind in those ruins, have been acquired by three factions?"

"The Evil God universe you mentioned was taken by Liu Qi and Wen Meng," Zhi Ji suddenly said. "They might have gone to discuss cooperation."

Caroline snorted coldly. "That one truly has ill intentions! Communicating with those ancient beings."

The other party, clearly, didn't know the specific situation of the Immortality Realm.

Zhi Ji sank back into contemplation. This revelation, she thought, was not entirely unexpected.

It would be astonishing if they did know. These were merely new-era talents living in the current epoch, residing in a specific period of the universe; it was impossible for them to be aware.

Indeed, no outsider knew the full picture.

At this moment, the Emperor pondered for a moment before speaking. "Moon God Ji's movements are too mysterious; I don't know what their recent hidden plans are. But you three have achieved such greatness, affirming the Second Path and drawing worldwide attention... Those Evil Gods have also set their sights on the ancient beings. Their faction must also be preparing something very mysterious... We must be wary. After all, they were the ones who defeated us back then, the most powerful entity among these three factions."

"Is it possible that Moon God Ji has pledged allegiance to another unseen..." Caroline suddenly considered something, glancing at Zhi Ji. "...pledged allegiance to another unseen concept?"

"I don't know."

Emperor frowned. "We are now adapting to this era, where the meteor shower's descent serves that unseen concept, rationalizing the rules of heaven and earth. As for the other side... could they be standing against us? If so, how would they oppose us? By preventing the birth of the Myriad Worlds? I simply don't know."

A concept?

What kind of concept?

Listening to them discuss the situation, Zhi Ji felt deeply shaken.

What exactly were these people talking about?

Her mind began to buzz. Could it be that this "meteor shower" falling into the Chaotic Sea was a deliberate manifestation of some unseen concept within this universe?
