Hearing this, Xu Zhi understood everything completely and began to ponder calmly.

Of the Great Dao's forty-nine, one is left for humanity...

Back then, Nu Yi had established the cosmic rule of "natural evolution of life," which led to the emergence of acquired beings. However, she left a hidden contingency, a backdoor. This made the rule incomplete, with a slight loophole. Through that loophole, the cosmic rule of "artificial evolution of life" could be established. This was indeed more powerful than the previous rule! Because this was power truly held in one's own hands, no longer subject to the broad constraints of the Heavenly Dao universe.

Xu Zhi whispered to himself, "This is probably the origin of the Zerg... a special race that mastered the rule of life. If things had developed this way, and I hadn't changed history, Nu Yi would have been the first generation Zerg Matriarch in this universe!" Xu Zhi glanced at Nu Yi beside him and secretly thought, "And then, she would be defeated and perish in the final battle against the three masterminds?" He suddenly felt a sense of absurdity: The first generation Zerg Matriarch working for him! Perhaps this was... the pinnacle of being a boss?

However, Xu Zhi didn't believe that the true, complete history of the external grand universe would be exactly as he had deduced. The first generation Zerg Matriarch might not have been "Nu Yi" in that universe; it could have been one of her disciples or other individuals. After all, cosmic histories are like similar flowers, not absolute replicas. The general trend remains, but minor details can change. The deduced history was merely for reference and shouldn't be taken as absolute truth.

"Perhaps, in this universe, Nu Yi might not lose; she might even win and become the master of the Longevity Realm... because none of this is a historical inevitability." Xu Zhi pondered for a moment, "The historical inevitability is that there will be a final victor in the Battle of the Longevity Realm... regardless of who that victor is." He narrowed his eyes, looking at the two individuals below. The victor would also emerge from their actions. They each controlled two ancient gods and demons—Time and Space—and were followed by a group of young, monstrous geniuses, like Zhi Ji and Gu You's generation, aligning with their respective sides.

Time, Space, Life... The three core cosmic rules of the grand universe. They had mastered the backdoors to these three rules and were using them to ascend. This battle could indeed be considered the pinnacle of cosmic development to date. "It far surpasses the battle of Yi Mang's time, because the era is different; combat power has evolved, and realms are being perfected." Xu Zhi sighed and said to Nu Yi, "In reality, above these three rules, there is an even stronger cosmic rule: the laws of matter... It's just a pity that Yi Mang had no selfish motives and thus didn't leave a backdoor for this rule." "Yes, Master is, after all, the purest and most sacred sage," Nu Yi mused, having been Yi Mang's most devoted follower from beginning to end.

Nu Yi looked down, "Slicing off one's Great Dao rule to become a Tenth-Tier descendant without a Dao is powerful... but it only allows one to live a second life. This causes immense damage to the fundamental life structure, and re-ascension, followed by a second fall, is simply unbearable." "They can only ascend a second time this way, to be reborn... living twice as long. But to live into the distant future, they still need to pass through the Longevity Realm," Nu Yi explained.

Xu Zhi's gaze lowered as he continued to watch the battle below with keen interest. He chose not to meticulously deduce or observe in detail. He wanted to observe the grand cosmic trend... not minor details. Any specifics of the ongoing battles were irrelevant. Because Xu Zhi could not use this history to gauge the true combat power of the Longevity Dao Palace outside, nor could he match each Longevity Saint to a specific individual; it was simply impossible! Just like here, there were no monstrous geniuses similar to Zhi Ji following behind either side... Xu Zhi's lips curved slightly, "To use a deduction sandbox to underestimate and scornfully evaluate the opponent's combat power and foundation—that would be the most foolish thing... Furthermore, the Longevity Dao Palace in the grand universe might not be like what is depicted here; the beings behind them might be decaying, or they might not be."

He looked down at the two individuals. Ultimately, this was an incomplete universe, and Xu Zhi no longer held much interest in its two masterminds. Even regarding the generations of heavenly prodigies behind them, while he had some interest, it was only slight; he had no intention of recruiting them into the Tian Yin Sect. Because these were "fake" people; they couldn't be proven real. They were illusory. Like virtual characters in a computer, they weren't beings generated by a "complete Great Dao Singularity Universe." If they went outside, they would inevitably be assimilated and dissipate by the rules of the grand universe! Since they weren't beings produced by a real universe, they couldn't go to the external grand universe, nor could they touch the rules of the Eleventh Tier; they were fundamentally incomplete! They couldn't leave... whereas real beings from the external universe could enter "fake" universes like the "Algae" and "Conch" universes, become saints, and roam within them. This situation was similar to higher-dimensional beings easily entering lower-dimensional worlds. However, lower-dimensional beings couldn't go to higher-dimensional universes; if they went outside, they would be assimilated, discover they were fictitious, and couldn't become "real."

Xu Zhi sighed, feeling a touch of sadness, yet unable to change it. "This is also why those Algae universes and Conch universes cannot generate their own life internally... it's because any native life they produce within them is also fictional, illusory..." Therefore, all life in the ocean universes were external, real beings, saints, who took over and became natives within these universes. "It's like this: in the grand universe, they have a resident ID card; they are complete beings... while life generated in these small, incomplete singularity universes are like unregistered residents, inherently deficient, just like their universes."

Xu Zhi looked at Nu Yi. The universe was incomplete, so the beings it generated naturally wouldn't be complete either. This was also why, over the years, he had only taken in Nu Yi as the initial foundation for the Tian Yin Sect. Nu Yi herself was also fictional and couldn't go outside... but there wasn't no way for her to become real, as Xu Zhi had previously said: When he completed the incomplete singularity of this universe, making it a truly complete universe, Nu Yi would also transform from a fake person into a real one. This fake universe would also become a real universe, with the potential for Eleventh-Tier ascension. And this was precisely Xu Zhi's goal: to steal and consume the complete core singularity of the grand universe. He wanted to transform these artificial universes with incomplete singularities into real ones, and then directly ascend to the Eleventh Tier within the universes he created! This was also why he wasn't taking the Nine Yuan Universe route outside.

"Now, in this Battle of the Longevity Dao Palace, it no longer matters who wins." Xu Zhi's expression was calm, and he thought to himself, "What I want to see is how the next era of the Longevity Realm will take shape in the distant future." However, the next cosmic era for the Longevity Realm would be a long period of peaceful development. This period lay billions of years in the future. "And to reach billions of years, the cosmic time flow needs to be advanced even faster," Xu Zhi said, frowning. "Nu Yi, what do you think? How can we accelerate the time flow?"

"Accelerate this universe's flow even more? A hundred million years per day is already close to collapse, heading towards virtualization..." Nu Yi paused, then said, "This universe, due to excessive acceleration, its power has become insubstantial, like virtual characters in a movie... no longer a true universe." The excessive acceleration had made mortals almost virtual, like fleeting glimpses, already causing the universe to collapse and virtualize. If not for the Destroyer God's shielding methods, they would have long sensed the universe's incongruity, perceiving flaws everywhere and realizing they might be virtual characters. But this was already the limit of a hundred million years per day; going any further was absolutely impossible!

"However, there isn't no way." Nu Yi took a deep breath, "We can directly project this entire universe to the scene a hundred billion years in the future. We just need to transform this universe to resemble that state." Xu Zhi said, "Transform it?" "Yes," Nu Yi said earnestly. "The Longevity Realm is already asleep, a great ship smuggling itself into the future... If we transform this universe to be over a hundred billion years in the future, when they awaken, they won't notice... and that will be enough." Nu Yi continued, "But the single biggest challenge is that we don't know what the universe will be like a hundred billion years from now... However, you, as the Destroyer God, naturally know the cosmic structure of that time." "So that's it." Xu Zhi's expression was calm. This was indeed a unique approach; while unable to further accelerate time, it could, in a sense, swiftly reach the distant future of a hundred billion years later. However, such an artificial acceleration might also lead to unforeseen variables... But Xu Zhi felt he could no longer wait; he wanted to see what results might emerge first.
