Chapter 1323: Gift

Soon, Rong Cheng listened to the detailed introduction of the Mother River system, and couldn't help but be deeply moved, understanding its immense power and wonder.

Even some of its theories, concerning the exploration of the Chaos Sea's sky, surprisingly coincided with his own "Kite" concept for the Chaos Sea, making him feel as if it were destiny.

He stepped forward directly and said, "I also have a proposal: the Mother River Civilization Plan. It involves several super-large universes evolving into a bloodline spectrum, pieced together to form a faceted elemental mirror universe, which will serve as the Mother River's foundation.

This prismatic foundational universe, an elemental life-form universe, will emit energy beams, forming roots that grow upwards, branching into countless pathways, creating numerous navigation routes. These elemental channels can then sustain countless elemental universes floating in the sky, forming the trunk, branches, and fruits!"

"Elemental universes?"

The people around were slightly surprised.

But their expressions suddenly grew serious. This person was a Longevity Saint, likely connected to the long-disappeared Moon God Season!

Elemental civilization, Mother River system.

At the mention of it, everyone instantly understood.

Di Qi and Caroline exchanged glances, a chill running through them. "The Moon God Season, who had been missing for so long, had apparently been secretly collaborating with the Longevity Saints all along. It was clear they had been planning somewhere."

The other party had even roped in saints from the Longevity Dao Palace; their methods were clearly terrifying.

At this moment, the God of Destruction suddenly chuckled, "A Mother River Civilization of the Heavens? This is indeed a unique structure, spread throughout the chaotic sky of the universe, capable of both offense and defense! But for these elemental universes to remain suspended indefinitely without falling, I fear it truly requires them to be elemental universes, inhabited solely by elemental deities?"

"Yes, this type of universe must first be extremely light in substance—an elemental energy universe. For it to easily float and remain suspended in the air for extended periods, it needs to be inhabited by elemental beings," Rong Cheng said. "However, the greatest characteristic of this universe is its immortality!"

Immortality?

Caroline and the others frowned.

"Yes, immortality."

Rong Cheng explained, "Vast cosmic fruits, suspended within the colossal energy-mother-tree in the distant sky, can, via its branches and the main trunk of the energy tree, transmit their energy shells downwards to reach the mother-tree's roots, which are on the surface of the Chaos Sea.... Even if they fall, they will not truly die."

Everyone fell into deep thought, following his reasoning.

Indeed, this was a reverse version of the Mother River system.

In the previous Mother River system, "civilizations" resided at the roots and spread to the planetary fruits on various branches, engaging in conquest. Even upon death, they would be reborn at the Mother River's roots.

Now, however, "civilizations" would live within the fruits and travel towards the roots.

This was a reverse Mother River.

Rong Cheng chuckled, saying, "While it may seem that only elemental beings can live within these elemental universes, their immortality will be the most powerful means to confront the coming grand trend."

"Heh." At this, the Three-Pillar God sneered and said, "It may seem immortal, but if the roots are severed, won't it wither? The flaw in this Mother River civilization is too obvious; the roots are its vital point."

"Indeed."

Rong Cheng replied earnestly, "However, normally the roots can be severed and hidden in the sea. Only when it's time to replenish energy do they reconnect to the Mother River ancient tree in the sky, linking upwards to draw energy. Furthermore, a sky ancient tree with its roots severed—isn't it like a giant parachute? It floats slowly, and because it's an energy-body universe, its descent speed won't be fast. This way, even if the enemy tries to find the roots, it would be extremely difficult."

Even with such a solution available, Di Qi and the others frowned slightly.

This was indeed powerful, offering immortality.

But the difficulty of implementing it was immense: suspending universes in the sky of the Chaos Sea to form an aerial kingdom, a true "Heavens."

"Then why wouldn't it be a perpetual sky-ark, never falling? Why would it still need energy replenishment?" Caroline suddenly asked. "Are we talking about a charging port for regular energy top-ups?"

Rong Cheng chuckled, saying, "No being can float indefinitely in the sky. The higher one goes, the thinner the matter and the sparser the energy. Even powerful Saints constantly dissipate energy due to the 'energy gradient difference'. It can be said that even Saints cannot remain there for extended periods without replenishing energy."

"I see."

Di Qi seemed thoughtful.

It seemed this Saint had thoroughly researched the chaotic sky.

Everyone had now presented their proposals and fell into contemplation. They began to ponder and compare the strengths and weaknesses of their own cosmic structures against the others'.

A moment later.

The God of Destruction finally spoke, summarizing the meeting's content, "Each of your proposed cosmic structures possesses unique characteristics and strengths.... Unfortunately, the future trend of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds is unknown, and I cannot discern whose is superior or inferior, nor can I see which will become the mainstream of destiny. You may each develop your plans for a period."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The Saints present responded in unison.

The God of Destruction said, "You should not lack resources; I can provide you with some assistance. Firstly, there are nine jellyfish universes, containing beings that truly evolve into the future, which you can use for reference, research, and preparation. However, as you can see, this preparatory period won't be too long; the true era will fully arrive in a few millennia at the shortest, or tens of thousands of years at the longest."

Everyone looked at the nine jellyfish universes, exchanged glances, and pondered what this meant.

The God of Destruction continued shortly, "Secondly, I can grant you sufficient knowledge regarding the evolution of cosmic Dao charts. The temporary Heavenly Sound Sect has been developing this knowledge for some time, and I hope it will be helpful to you."

Several volumes of knowledge soon appeared in the hands of each being present.

Di Qi and the others had already learned much through their inside contact, Meng Mei, and now their knowledge was made complete. However, for Zhi Ji and Rong Cheng, this was an unimaginably vast trove of knowledge, and they couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Di Qi looked at Rong Cheng's expression, feeling a slight unease. "It seems that while we seized the initiative, Saints from other eras will also find ways to keep pace with us. We must seize this era and continue to forge ahead."

The advantages they held were diminishing.

After a pause, the God of Destruction added, "Thirdly, I possess cosmic embryos, with thirty for each faction.... Each of you must cherish them and use them for evolution."

Several cosmic pearls then landed in their hands.

Everyone immediately became excited; these were indeed treasures.

Di Qi and the others knew that only the Heavenly Sound Sect offered such benefits, and these were never circulated externally before. Their current acquisition could be considered a significant opportunity.

"With that, I shall depart."

The God of Destruction's form became hazy as he stood in the depths of the ocean, gradually fading away. "The Myriad Heavens and Worlds are a variable. No one knows if they can alter the future grand trend of the universe.... For that is a destined trend, one that has never been changed by anyone. If it truly succeeds, then this era will have created an unprecedented myth."
