Chapter 1339: Opposing Side’s Mysterious Aura of Sophistication?

"However, I can track their whereabouts," Xu Zhi said with interest. "After all, this is my grand sandbox now, teeming with insectoids. How could I not notice a cancerous foreign body entering the sandbox? It's so conspicuous."

On the Chaos Beach.

"Friend, where do you come from, and what may I call you?" Elder Huaya smiled. He was one of the original Saints from the previous fishery, who had pledged allegiance to the 'Little Television' players.

"My name is... Tu Xin." The Chaos life form previously had no name and just picked one randomly. Before him, these two low-level Saints filled Tu Xin, the Chaos life form, with a sense of revulsion. Had it not been for this unexpected turn of events, he would have simply swatted them to death.

They were natural enemies, with no possibility of co-existence. Moreover, different life forms experience the world differently.

From his perspective, 'bloodline creatures' were like pathetic, wet, wriggling stink bugs, slimy and weak, crawling sickeningly on the ground.

"Everyone, are you members of the All Heavens faction here?" At this moment, he smiled and went along with the conversation, trying hard to suppress the expression he might have worn when looking at a stink bug or a cockroach, and began to indulge in wild speculation.

All Heavens? What does that mean? But the other party didn't seem to recognize him.

Could it be that they weren't truly guarding against protagonists like himself coming ashore, but rather against other creatures from the Chaos Sea? He truly began to feel that the era had undergone a change, feeling unease mingled with intense bewilderment.

He looked up at the vast, immense plants on the distant grassland and sensed an unusual aura. It was like a universe, yet not quite, a different category of life altogether.

A third category of life... beyond bloodline humans and Chaos life forms. And those plants, flowers, and foliage were not the most extraordinary. What was truly unique was the pure white 'Little Television' towering among them, impossibly vast and countless light-years tall, broadcasting content.

"Today's All Heavens broadcast: Summary of contents." A beautiful woman with long, straight black hair, dressed in a formal suit, sat at the broadcast desk.

"Recently, the frontline war has fully erupted. While the Chaos Sea has largely approached peace, the enemy, hidden in their deep-sea base, has fully launched the second full-scale aerial combat. In the camp of the Natural Heavenly Dao, several terrifying Grand Dao experts have appeared, consecutively slaying the universes controlled by our various paragons!"

Behind her, images of aerial combat in the Chaos Sky were displayed, intensely fierce.

Heavenly Dao? Full-scale aerial combat? He was instantly stunned: "...."

What in the world is the Heavenly Dao?! He immediately suspected he had time-traveled.

The once utterly bleak and desolate Chaos Sky had become so lively. This flourishing scene could only occur if, after they had dominated the entire universe, the internal races on the 'planet' began to fight and kill each other.

"Could it be that our race had already dominated the era, and while I was swimming in the Chaos Sea, I somehow time-traveled millions of years into the future by the time I came ashore?"

Tu Xin shook his head, feeling utterly bewildered.

He had previously thought the Chaos Sea was calm and the sky pristine blue; it turned out to be an illusion! The reason the Chaos Sea was calm was because they had long since moved beyond the crude amusement of sea battles.

The reason the Chaos Sky was calm was because their great wars were taking place countless light-years high in the sky. Unless one was directly below in the Chaos Sea, only faint afterimages could be seen; otherwise, nothing was visible at all.

"These great wars already feature the life forms we will evolve into in the future—flying species." Tu Xin observed the television closely, finding it somewhat terrifying. "Their sizes are actually similar to ours... but they're not individual life forms; they are universes?"

How could they be universes? Those bloodline creatures were individuals, and the overlords of this new era were also individuals....

This completely defied the rules; it absolutely couldn't have been naturally generated by the universe! He squinted, continuing to watch the news.

"...The four Quantum Heavenly Kings of the Evil God All Heavens faction, whose cosmic mechs were shattered and who subsequently perished, expressed strong indignation, claiming they were killed for a righteous cause and would surely return to face the opponent's Seventh General again!"

In front of the television, the female anchor slowly turned a page. This made him feel that humans were truly peculiar creatures; despite being Saints, they still made the artificial gesture of turning pages to read content.

"This concludes the summary of the frontline battle. Next, we will report on other matters."

"Recently, the Mother River Civilization has been excessively raising prices, leveraging its monopoly on core technology. Our Clan Heavenly Court, Underworld Reincarnation, Evil God Universe... and other factions have expressed strong condemnation! Our Emperor Qi has emphasized that we must develop our own aerial combat knowledge and evolutionary path. Though we started later, we absolutely cannot allow ourselves to be throttled by others! Especially, their refusal to allow His Majesty Emperor Qi to land and visit their Mother River cosmic base is an utter contempt and disrespect for our ruler. To slander His Majesty by suggesting he wants to plagiarize their civilization is simply shameless! Currently, the research institute 'Autumn Mountain Speed' has already led the development of the second-generation All Heavens Universe. While its performance cannot compare to their seventh-generation Mother River, it marks a significant step in our research."

The beautiful anchor turned another page. "Our younger generation of Inherited Saints engaged in battle with the Underworld Reincarnation, both sides fiercely fighting, each evolving their own life-structure universes, perfecting the All Heavens...."

"Our Human Heavenly Dao will perfect the ecosystem for the players of All Heavens, remedy the cosmic environment, and completely rewrite our glory."

"We will surely defeat the Natural Heavenly Dao and become the Heavenly Dao ourselves. Man will conquer nature."

Tu Xin watched with great interest.

Elder Huaya and the black-clad Saint, seeing this, didn't seem to mind. Wandering Saints who ascend nomadically typically learn about the All Heavens through local television broadcasts.

They were, after all, like country bumpkins. They had also grown accustomed to the term 'players.'

The two patted his shoulder and earnestly advised, "Go register over there. You'll need to undergo a qualification test; if you pass, you can join us."

Having said that, the two continued their departure together.

However, as they walked, Huaya suddenly remarked, "That Saint was a bit strange. The way he looked at us was as if a human was looking at a lowly stink bug, giving off an unimaginable sense of pressure."

The black-clad Saint thought for a moment, then nodded, "They concealed it well, but the contempt in their bones couldn't be hidden. Perhaps they are a rare life form that looks down upon bloodline creatures like us, who are made of flesh and blood."

After all, various minority life forms in the universe, such as energy-based or silicon-based beings, often look down on carbon-based, flesh-and-blood life.

"I just don't feel that's it." Elder Huaya thought for a moment, "That was a contempt of a higher dimension, inspiring a genetic-level fear in me, as if encountering a natural predator... But never mind, the other party certainly isn't a universe. After all, their Grand Dao patterns and our bloodline creatures... their fundamental structures must be different. We have detection machines, so it can't be concealed... It's just that the other party seems to have no bloodline. But how can a life form exist without a bloodline? They must have hidden it."

It's quite normal for some powerful Saints to possess means of concealing their bloodlines.

Tu Xin continued to watch. Watching the television with great interest, he patiently studied, learning some history and, most importantly, a crucial term: the Chaos Cosmic Rain.

"Is this the source of the variable?" "It's unimaginable that an external species, a variable, altered the course of our universe's history, leading to the emergence of a new Chaos Sea era that took our place."

He slowly shook his head, "But it's not a complete replacement, because we will still be born... However, the life forms of this Chaos Sea era seem to be more advanced than us?"

It should be noted that, in his previous deductions, the old bloodline humans of this era were not on the same level as them at all. It was like humans looking at intellectually disabled individuals with developmental delays.

No, it was like humans facing primitive, low-level monkeys. No! Even hundreds of times worse than monkeys.

The upper limits of their intelligence, their depth of thought, their potential combat power... It could be said that even their lowest-ranking clansman would not be inferior in wisdom and talent to a Saint found among tens of billions of humans.

Because a crippled universe could only produce crippled beings.

"Some of their more intellectually and artistically gifted individuals, similar to the geniuses among multi-dimensional Saints, were barely comparable to the less-abled individuals within our clan.... However, they should not be underestimated. At present, the geniuses who are the culmination of tens of billions of years of cosmic life history, resulting in only a dozen or so top-tier beings, do indeed have the potential to rival the best among our own clan."

This is a simple truth. After all, if the hundreds of billions of years of cosmic history of monkeys were condensed, it would be plausible for a few genius monkeys with intelligence and talent comparable to humans to emerge...

But could they win? No, they couldn't.

It wasn't false that they were Saints on average. Yet, their numbers were not as rare as Saints typically are.

As new humans, their reproductive capacity could rival that of humans... developing into a nation of tens or hundreds of billions was not an issue.

How could one compare? There was simply no way to compare them.

What's more, the other party's power was still vanishing, their Grand Dao sealed.

"This was already a double death sentence; they were being eliminated by the era... This wasn't about having no chance to turn the tables against us, but against the universe. There was no chance for a comeback, because the universe was exterminating them, not us."

Tu Xin's expression grew solemn as he looked at the plants.

"The only ones who could stand against us would be the protagonists of another Chaos Sea era, but no matter how strong we are, we are still individual life forms... This 'All Heavens' universe of theirs, at first glance, somehow feels more advanced than us!?"

He looked at the plants and felt his pride somewhat shattered.

"Then there's truly no other way. We must let them go. As long as they're alive, they'll eventually leave clues in the universe," Wen Meng said. "After all, we are completely different dimensional life forms. We've researched for so long and haven't figured out anything; it's all unknown... We can only let them pass and allow them to leave."

"Yes," Liu Qi added. "After all, no matter how dangerous they are, there's only one of them. Let them do as they please. We can observe whatever crisis emerges... If hundreds of millions of them appear later, that would be fatal... It's better to gather information now."

Meanwhile, at the Longevity Dao Palace.

They possessed great courage. Instead of keeping him confined, it was better to let him go out and stir up trouble... Using the changes in this one individual, they could deduce the future structure of this mysterious race.

A heavy atmosphere pervaded the Longevity Dao Palace.

Originally, the Chaos Sea was a mess, making pursuit difficult, so losing contact was expected.

The nine Jellyfish Universes merely created a nurturing environment for the Chaos Sea, making it incredibly clear. The Chaos life form had naturally bred within it, entirely beyond Xu Zhi's control.

Because it wasn't the same species, and it didn't even have a bloodline, Xu Zhi couldn't exert any influence over it.

His creation of the nine Jellyfish Universes, allowing one of the beings to emerge early, indeed aligned with the Longevity World's thinking: to seize the opportunity to understand the opponent, for true terror lies in the mysterious unknown.

However, at this moment, he was also facing another tricky crisis—

"It has gone outside, then." Xu Zhi's expression was calm. "They are the true protagonists of the Chaos Sea. My Myriad Heavens and Worlds are merely fake protagonists."

Zhi Ji's expression grew entirely solemn. "We've already drawn all Longevity Saints into the nine great Jellyfish Universes for observation and research, leaving behind contingency plans, yet the other party still managed to escape?"

"There's no way," Rong Cheng took a deep breath. "We left various contingency plans and methods on the other party, but they were utterly ineffective... It swam out of a section of the Chaos Sea and we lost contact."

"Can't it be found?" The other protagonist.

After all, both were protagonists of their respective eras; the old life forms couldn't defeat either.

The Longevity Saints remained silent.

Currently, resisting the "Natural Heavenly Dao" and engaging in aerial combat were indeed pressing matters. After all, for humanity to survive, they had to resist the rise of another species.

The 'Natural Cosmic Heavenly Dao' was the true protagonist of the 'Myriad Heavens and Worlds'... If they couldn't defeat it, humanity couldn't escape the fate of being cultivated.

"Damn it, the other party has no bloodline at all. It's too slippery to monitor; we have no idea where it went," Gu You said in a low voice.
