"A massive horde of zombies is on its way."
On the land and beaches, within their life-plant universes, players issued commands as they gazed at the vast and boundless chaotic sea.
They began to prepare for war. Was this an amphibious landing battle?
This was a tower defense fortress game.
Everything that approached had to be eliminated.
Having occupied the spiritual vein nodes of the dojo and absorbed vast amounts of energy, they were now super turrets. Anyone who came close would be shot dead.
This area had already been claimed by them. Hundreds, even thousands, of dense spiritual vein nodes now had a plant rooted in them, forming a massive defense line.
Each Peashooter performed a cute attack animation, swaying backward before spitting forward.
Thwack, thwack, thwack.
Huge energy projectiles streamed in, dense and continuous, with a rhythmic rate of fire.
"Are they seriously attacking us?" they fumed.
"What the hell? Hey, we're allies!" someone yelled, scrambling away.
One after another, their cosmic ships were hit, instantly damaged, and began to dive into the chaotic sea to evade.
At the same time, they shouted curses from afar:
"We agreed to embark on a great voyage together, searching for legendary treasures, but you just went ashore and started playing Monopoly, claiming land and building structures?"
"You landed and immediately seized the best land?"
"And you're even attacking us?"
These people were just chatting in the forums; now, it seemed not a single punctuation mark they wrote could be trusted.
Someone pleaded earnestly, "Hey brothers over there! Your art style is all wrong! This is the era of the vast cosmos and myriad heavens, yet you're going for a cute, two-dimensional cartoon style. Look at those plants! Adorable peas, potatoes, sunflowers... Stop it right now! The art style of these plants on the cosmic land is inconsistent; even the Saints nearby are bewildered by you!"
"You're ruining the serious aesthetic; stop it at once!"
They cursed bitterly, heartbroken.
Their side of the chaotic sea maintained a realistic cosmic art style, with delicate seaweed universes where even tentacles were refined, and ferocious, monstrous snail universes – truly a vast and brutal ocean.
But what about the opposite shore?
The plants there had become cute and adorable, forming a coastal defense line, constantly firing charming projectiles.
"The incongruity is just too strong."
The Saints in the distance, observing in secret, were also slightly bewildered.
"They seem to be fighting amongst themselves."
They exchanged glances and then suddenly laughed.
As for the art style?
They didn't find anything particularly strange about it.
After all, for tenth-tier civilizations existing beyond the Chaotic Heavens, what kind of species or creatures haven't they seen?
Having encountered myriad cosmic species and countless civilizations — mechanical, plant, Xianxia, wizard, elemental... every type imaginable — respecting and adapting to the appearance and characteristics of any civilization was a mandatory lesson for the Saints of the Chaotic Heavens.
They had seen too many cute pet-style creatures; some high-tech civilizations even specifically manufactured and sold adorable, doll-like pets and plants.
As they watched the approaching cosmic life forms being shot down, they began to ponder,
"These four civilizations have already begun to land. It seems this is the next stage of cosmic growth and cultivation, the sixth stage after the fifth 'clan period'—the landing stage? Marine life evolving to crawl onto land?"
"It seems the entire cosmic evolutionary process truly mirrors the evolution of species."
"However, 'landing stage' sounds a bit plain, too ordinary."
"For now, it's merely the initial establishment of realms! Let's tentatively categorize the growth stages of cultivated cosmic life. There's no need to overthink it; everything is a tentative exploration."
"It appears that, at this moment, a cosmic force from the Underworld Reincarnation has seized the initiative, landing ahead of schedule, and acting so unethically! They've landed themselves but are preventing others from coming ashore!"
They watched from the sidelines, feeling a bit indignant.
But then again, it made sense.
A step ahead meant staying ahead. If it were them, they would also suppress their rivals.
After all, they now knew that not just one, but several civilizations had received the ancient prophecies and inheritances. Furthermore, these civilizations were not unified; there were divisions and mutual competition among them.
These were the four major forces currently, constantly recruiting new members and allies.
However, this was only natural. Who wouldn't contend for such a peerless opportunity?
At present, the Reincarnation Civilization had indeed taken the lead, evolving ahead.
"We don't need to pay attention; after all, we don't have the ability to reach this stage yet. No matter how angry we get, it won't help." Some emerging Saint factions observed in secret.
Splash, splash.
The seawater was undulating.
At this moment, many Saints were secretly observing from within the chaotic sea. This was an unprecedented situation, and they wanted to see how this battle would unfold.
And not just ordinary Saints; even the Immortal Saints were secretly watching.
"Damn it! Rongcheng and Zhiji have seized too much of the initiative."
Gu You was very displeased, even though he was the first to attain enlightenment. "However, we are catching up. Many of the Saints present have already entered the reproductive phase, capable of evolving unique bloodlines in their universes and procreating... All that's left is to create a unique imprint to ensure our offspring are obedient."
"Precisely so." Liu Qi's voice was also cold. "Although we started late, we are already in the second echelon, just one stage behind the four leading forces."
Although it seemed they were only one stage behind, these four major forces were now about to widen the gap further, likely entering the next stage and beginning to land soon.
"Let us observe in secret." Wen Meng chuckled, saying, "Watching their war can pave the way for us... For example, some of their methods are quite unique! Why are these creatures shaped this way? Zhiji wouldn't do anything without a purpose."
Everyone agreed with this statement.
The opponent's layout and the characteristics of their plants clearly held a deeper meaning, which they needed to ponder carefully.
Splash, splash.
Soon, several forces on the opposite side of the chaotic sea launched their counterattack.
Meanwhile, the players on their ships began to discuss and, from a distance, cursed loudly, "The other side is truly shameless; they directly seized the prime real estate, and not just one, but nine universes!"
"So, should we land in other, less premium locations?"
"No way, we can't swallow this! They got inside information, landed a few years — just a tiny bit — earlier than us, and snatched all the good stuff?"
"Exactly. They grabbed the best port areas of nine universes, spiritual cultivation havens rich in vital energy. If we back down and land on inferior land, the gap will only widen as we develop, and we might not even reach one-fifth of their size."
"Is this Emperor? What a clever tactic!"
They looked from afar at Zhiji and Emperor, who were sitting high above, casually observing, and took a deep breath.
"Let's just go for it, while they haven't completely rooted themselves. Otherwise, it will be difficult later. I know those guys too well; they'll definitely farm like crazy, building an impregnable fortress this generation. There's nothing they can't do; their top priority is simply to survive." Qiu Mingshan Che Su's face darkened. "These people were so bold, they even tricked him?"
"That guy Bai Xiaojun, along with his Asura Path group, can really stir things up."
"So what do we do? Their defense line..." a player from Caroline's Quantum Tower couldn't help but say.
"It's fine."
A grim look flashed in Qiu Mingshan Che Su's eyes as he said, "Isn't it just Plants vs. Zombies? They have Potato Mine walls; we'll create ladder zombies. They have Peashooters; we'll create shield zombies. They want to play an evolutionary sandbox game with us? Play tower defense? We'll play along and see who's better."
