Chapter 1341: I, the Creator God's Faction, It's Time to Take Action

“However, speaking of which, it's only been a little over a thousand years in total. How many talents do I actually have here?”

Xu Zhi was quite leisurely, yet he wasn't even sure anymore.

After all, there were now hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Universes.

Although each of them isn't very large—a typical "Heavenly Universe" currently spans only a few hundred to tens of thousands of light-years—all Heavenly Universes combined might still be smaller than a single Milky Way galaxy, remaining like grains of rice in comparison to the vast macrocosm.

In the face of the vastness of nature, living beings are inherently no more than ants.

From tens of billions of years ago until now, the actual habitable land occupied by living beings hasn't been significant.

Yet, these universes are concentrated with geniuses who embody the next "four layers" of Dao seats in the universe!

What does this mean?

In the previous universe, only six layers of positions had passed, with Saints emerging gradually over time. Now, having prematurely exploited and destroyed that universe, the remaining "four layers" of talents and prodigies are simultaneously appearing in this Age of Dharma Decline—it's already beyond imagination!

“Currently, I've only provided the embryos, and they are still in their primitive stages. To what extent they will expand in the future, even I don't know....”

“Anyway, I'll just let them develop.”

“Though their numbers are vast, making them seem invincible and terrifying, they face a desperate plight when confronted with the true future, lacking even a chance to resist....”

Xu Zhi shook his head. It sounded cruel, and perhaps many wouldn't want to hear it.

Even if all the genius monkeys from every era were condensed together, forming countless monkey geniuses fighting with their backs against the wall, it would still be difficult for them to defeat humans.

But this is the brutal truth!

He was now like a great landlord, a master farmer, engaged in construction, infrastructure development, and cultivating extraordinary systems. Yet, even he found it difficult to resist....

“I've usurped the Magpie's Nest, first seizing the structure of the Chaos Sea and finding another way to deal with the ‘garbage’ within it, pretending to be the next great trend of the universe. It seems wonderful, but it will soon be overthrown...”

“However, the development has truly been rapid. Not long after it began, even these hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Universes have become incredibly vast to me.” Xu Zhi couldn't completely comprehend or monitor every single one.

It's impossible to grasp and constantly monitor the internal information of every universe. The massive flow of useless and complex information would be enough to overwhelm him.

After all, it's already quite formidable now.

What does a complete grand explosion of an era, with comprehensive environmental shaping, look like?

Technology, biology, botany, soil, climate...

In these areas, across tens of thousands to hundreds of millions of diverse fields, each is profound and extensive. Almost every moment, Saints are researching and developing new groundbreaking theories.

Numerous Saints are rising, rushing about and fervently researching within the Chaos Heavens.

Every decade or so brings a new appearance.

For example, in recent years, a Saint similar to "Shennong" appeared in the Evil God Heavenly Universes.

He even began cultivating miniature desert plants. His talent in certain aspects was no less than that of Xu Fan. His "new hybrid rice plants" could take root in barren land, sucking up meager energy even without sufficient nutrient-rich spiritual veins in the ground.

This directly ushered in a new era.

No longer requiring fixed Daoist sites, these plants could take root in any barren place. Although the absorbed energy was minuscule, it accumulated into a very considerable amount.

This brought them closer to solving the energy supply problem, enabling all living beings across the great continents to eat their fill.

Initially, Xu Zhi went to observe this "Shennong" Saint. Later, when various Saints like "Yu the Great" who controlled floods appeared, Xu Zhi grew completely dispassionate and numb.

If he were to study each one individually, his brain would simply explode.

He might as well just sit at home watching TV, playing virtual games from advanced technological civilizations in the lower realms, lying back comfortably and accepting it all. Although whenever he went out, he would witness daily transformations.

One day, stepping out, he would see desolate villages and primitive tribes, with only a few towering pea plants and sunflowers standing on the bare ground, bearing fruit for other universes to consume.

A decade or so later, stepping out again, he would find ancient-style streets. While the sky-high sunflowers and other plants remained, green grass and lush greenery, vast grasslands, and cultivated crops now covered the ground...

“Those plants like sunflowers rooted in Daoist sites have become towering, sky-reaching trees, while plants that can't root in Daoist sites are weeds, flowers, and small edible plants...”

Upon seeing this, Xu Zhi was completely stunned.

These Saints are overly diligent, aren't they?

This is probably an arms race, with major Heavenly Universe factions vying for supremacy. With the "Natural Heavenly Dao" as an external enemy and a grave threat, naturally, they have to work hard.

Among them, there must also be Immortal Saints causing trouble.

If they weren't secretly helping with all their might, development would never have reached this level.

What was even more striking continued to unfold. Xu Zhi soon heard that because of the vast grasslands of weeds and rice-like plants, they had begun to evolve grazing creatures like pigs, cattle, and sheep, capable of producing milk, and so on...

At this moment, Xu Zhi fully realized that he simply couldn't manage so much, nor did he have the immense energy required to do so.

The era was developing on its own!

The nine cosmic continents were independently greening themselves.

“Previously, my approach of managing a single world could no longer be used.... Now, it's an entire grand era. Perhaps I truly am the Creator God or Destroyer God of the unseen, and I don't need to concern myself with too many geniuses of the era. Instead, I should observe and grasp the overall trend.”

Xu Zhi felt he needed to understand himself better and be even more laid-back.

This was destiny.

He was only responsible for controlling the general direction.

It was like when large corporations grew, the founders began to grasp the overall developmental strategy, while minor projects and specific tasks no longer required their personal involvement.

“Currently, this is a relatively important task... He wants talent, and I can certainly provide it!”

“After all, I also want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve. We are at a disadvantage and definitely can't beat them right now. We need to break this deadlock, but how to approach this is the question...”

Xu Zhi rested his chin on his hand. He was only good at farming, and he truly disliked the scheming and "spy vs. spy" games. He sat on the sofa, watching the program broadcast on the small Heavenly Universe TV in front of him.

“Ah, this one's good,” Zhi Ji suddenly sat down. “It's ‘If You Are the One’.”

It had to be admitted that while these players lacked talent in fighting or deducing cultivation methods, they certainly had a knack for unorthodox methods and creating shows.

Recently, they even launched a program called 'If You Are the One,' specifically dedicated to solving the problem of Dao companions for Saints.

After all, times had changed. Saints were immortal, so there was no longer a need to worry about a Dao companion becoming a weakness. They could "freeload without responsibility," so naturally, many Saints without strong aspirations for struggle entered the era of Dao companions, journeying together.

“Ding!”

On the TV, all the lights went out.

Beside him, Zhi Ji, sitting on the sofa, also exclaimed, muttering as her delicate, slender legs swung idly. “This person clearly isn't reliable; it's normal for all his lights to be turned off... But recently, I heard that some Saints under our influence have also gone on blind dates. It's clear the other side is playing a game of cultural infiltration.”

Xu Zhi sat on the sofa, seemingly engrossed in the TV, yet his mind was still strategizing.

“If we distinguish by factions, strictly speaking, currently there are the 'Destroyer God Faction's Myriad Heavenly Universes, which want to change the future of the cosmos, and the 'Creator God Faction's Chaos Life Faction, which wants to maintain cosmic order and prevent the invasion of cancer-like viruses...”

Undoubtedly, the Chaos Life before them was the orderly guardian of the Creator God Faction!

They were the true orthodoxy!

The universe's self-healing ability, giving birth to the true protagonists of the cosmos.

“However, this so-called Creator God was just a deception; the Creator God doesn't exist at all...”

Xu Zhi pondered again, “How should I, as part of the Creator God's orderly faction, representing the nature of the macrocosm, support the legitimate protagonists of this universe, defeat those despicable Myriad Heavenly Universes, and save the macrocosm?”

Xu Zhi looked at 'If You Are the One' on the TV in front of him.
