Chapter 1326: Players' Plan

Honestly, at this point, the Six Paths Reincarnation World had already been perfectly transplanted into a universe.

This was just like what Emperor Qi and other factions had done. After all, the players didn't need a period of transition or accumulation. They had been studying 'evolutionary theory' from the very beginning, and now their adaptability was incredibly strong; they were truly in their element.

While other Saints had to start from scratch, the players didn't need to at all. They had been researching theories in this area right from the start! It was as if they had been waiting for this very day. Otherwise, how else could one explain this cultivation and manipulation by the Super Ancient Gods?

Having made a name for themselves in Spore Evolution and the Asura Path, they were not combat-oriented talents, but their evolutionary abilities were quite high.

“These people seem quite special,” Zhi Ji said softly, sitting back down and watching the fervent discussion below.

“They’re alright,” Emperorzun said, shaking his head. “Just be careful. While they are very capable, they are also prone to causing trouble, so we must always be on guard against them.”

Zhi Ji nodded. “In recent years, just like other factions, we have also been continuously searching for and recruiting talent throughout the nine great universes. After all, this grand trend—opening a new path—requires endless brilliant minds to refine and research it...”

Over these years, many talents specializing in cosmic evolution had been recruited. After all, no matter how powerful an individual's wisdom is, it still requires the collective wisdom of all beings to deduce, and the efforts of beings across several eras to perfect and refine it before it can truly mature.

Therefore, every faction in the myriad heavens was frantically searching for talent across all major universes. They even prompted various civilizations to frantically multiply their populations to increase their massive population base, hoping for the emergence of more geniuses.

“What is a golden age? This is a golden age! Because of a certain opportunity, all civilizations are operating at full capacity, consuming all cosmic resources, rapidly increasing their populations, and starting to produce Saints in large numbers, disregarding the shortage of Saint seats!”

Zhi Ji sighed with emotion, “This truly is an era of great contention!”

As they conversed, the people below had already begun to devise their own strategies and plans. Among other things, evolving plants was their old specialty. Soon, they began to divide tasks, and each started researching various basic species.

Bai Xiaojun, as the players’ leader, spoke up directly: “First, our species are the Sunflower, Peashooter, and Wall-nut. These three varieties correspond to... supply, offense, and defense respectively! We will certainly be the fastest to evolve plant species ahead of time because we have insiders. We'll land first, seize the geographical advantage, and directly occupy all the prime locations!”

They discussed and began preparing for battle to contend for dominance in the myriad heavens.

What were these “prime locations”? They were special cosmic geographical nodes!

One must know that the selection of a dojo's location also involves specific considerations. Previously, when Emperor Qi and Reinmangsga established their dojos, they had to choose locations meticulously because the intensity of cosmic energy absorbed varied depending on where they were located. In the players' words, these were the cosmic 'spirit veins of the earth,' blessed lands and springs.

“These best locations are currently controlled by the dojos of various Saints. Tenth-tier civilizations establish their dojos there, drawing power from beneath the universe. However, as soon as we approach, they will eagerly and voluntarily cede their dojo locations and join us; they’ll be more than happy to!”

“Exactly, they're not foolish, after all. The old era is bound to be eliminated. If we offer them a ticket to the new era, they'll jump at the chance!”

“Not to mention, spots in a living universe are extremely valuable right now, and many ordinary Saints are desperate for them. They will definitely help us occupy these places voluntarily, or even directly give up their dojos to serve as the first batch of nutrients for our plants to take root!”

They had no concerns. If they went to occupy the locations themselves, the natives certainly wouldn't resist; they would even join them.

“According to our compiled maps, the places with the highest concentration of spirit veins across the nine cosmic continents are here, here, and here...” a player pointed out seriously, all of which were the best coastal geographical locations in the nine universes. On the map, they were densely distributed.

“These are the best geographical locations in the nine universes. While the inland environments radiating inwards also have very dense spirit vein nodes, we have meticulously studied and confirmed that these are the best coastal sections of the continents. In the future, they are bound to become prime, highly sought-after areas, with 'property' values soaring. As long as we set up defenses along the coast in these few places, they will be our territory, and we can slowly develop them later!”

“Yes, let’s cordon them off first, fence in the land!” countless players said seriously.

Some new players nearby were stunned. Were these people really so unscrupulous? They couldn't consume it all, so they'd just cordon it off first? True capitalists.

“Wait, isn’t this a bit too underhanded?” one player asked. “If we take the best coastal geographical locations of all nine cosmic continents, won’t they collectively attack us?”

This meant seizing the best locations in all nine universes. If they took one or two, others wouldn't be too alarmed. But now, to devour them all in one go...

“No need to be afraid. The timid starve, but the bold thrive,” Bai Xiaojun said with a chuckle, a smile playing on his lips. “Precisely because these locations are so geographically advantageous, we have the potential to hold them defensively! We'll occupy the best, most concentrated spirit veins, establish ourselves as tower defense units, and have an endless supply of power... They'll be like rootless duckweed. Can they really defeat us?”

“Exactly! When they climb ashore, our Peashooters will blast them so hard they’ll question their very existence!”

“Yes, our outer perimeter will be a ring of Peashooters and Wall-nuts, while the inner circle will be Sunflowers, constantly supplying sun essence to replenish the energy of the outer plants. With double the supply, we’ll beat them until they beg for mercy!”

Zhi Ji listened, secretly muttering 'Shameless!'

At that moment, a player nearby asked, “What about the inland areas? Shouldn’t there also be better spirit vein nodes and blessed springs in the interior?”

“Those spirit vein nodes definitely exist,” Bai Xiaojun thought for a moment and said, “The inland areas have always been uninhabited by Saints, vast stretches of desolate desert and barren land. Saints almost exclusively settled along the coast because there were ample resources, more than enough in the coastal regions alone. But now it’s different; the inland areas will likely also become a vast, lush oasis, teeming with plants and wildlife, as vegetation spreads. In fact, some blessed lands with good locations inland won't have a lower concentration of spirit veins than our current positions... However, there are no maps for those areas right now, and all civilizations would have to meticulously explore them, wave after wave. We don't have that much energy to research them now; we need to seize the initiative!”

Bai Xiaojun's fighting spirit was high. “Furthermore, everyone knows that the best places are definitely along the coast! Even if the resources of inland blessed lands are not inferior, they will still fall short compared to coastal ports.”

The locations they occupied were like Shenzhen and other major coastal cities in China. Major inland cities might also have excellent geographical locations, but could they compare to international coastal ports? What they were doing now was directly occupying the best coastal areas of all nine continents first. The benefits of this, naturally, went without saying.

“Just wait,” Bai Xiaojun whispered, secretly chuckling, “that entity has already begun to achieve the Dao... But it will probably take some time before people discover this rule, because no plants have appeared yet... If no plants have taken root, who would know that rooting is now possible?”

Zhi Ji watched, dumbfounded. She felt a rare sense of leisure, as if she didn't need to do anything; they had simply taken care of everything themselves?

“There’s no need to pay them any mind; you don’t need to overexert yourself,” Emperorzun said, appearing quite accustomed to this. He patted the chair beside him, inviting her to join him for tea. “Come sit. They’ll take care of it themselves.”
