Xu Zhi murmured, "But it's only similar. The other party lacks a bloodline, yet they feel perfectly whole, as if their missing bloodline structure is filled by something. These beasts, however, have a sense of incompleteness; their missing bloodlines are empty, as if their supreme bones were dug out?" That was roughly the feeling.

Xu Zhi attempted to sever the bloodlines of ordinary life forms, then immediately began experimenting with the Zerg. Before him stood Zerg creatures, lined up neatly like an army of clones. Xu Zhi gently severed. Whoosh. Their Sixth Zerg Bloodline instantly fell away and disintegrated, and they all transformed into a pile of exploding flesh.

"Indeed, the Sixth Dimensional Bloodline, known as the 'weak Rank 11 Saint Bloodline,' wasn't as easy to sever as ordinary bloodlines. It was too powerful, too deeply ingrained." Xu Zhi believed that when Lord Quality used this technique back then, he must have had a method to ensure a higher success rate. However, Xu Zhi couldn't be bothered with that. What if the current success rate was low? It just meant a few more deaths, didn't it? He was merely experimenting with the swarming Zerg. He wasn't personally severing his own bloodline like others, not testing it on himself, so there was no need to ensure a high success rate.

Whoosh, whoosh. Large numbers of Zerg died, and Xu Zhi released large quantities of primeval matter. After a long time, finally one Zerg, whose "Sixth Zerg Bloodline" had been severed, managed to survive.

"Done." Xu Zhi took a deep breath, but he quickly discovered an even trickier problem. He looked at the creature and frowned slightly, saying, "Since its Zerg bloodline was severed, it's no longer a Zerg. It's an ordinary life form, and I've actually lost control over it."

Xu Zhi pondered for a moment. "These beings, intended to replace Messiah, originally possessed the Messiah bloodline from back then. The inner world of their sea of consciousness has now been severed, and the inner world bloodline has also been eliminated, leaving only an empty void." This was very troublesome.

Originally, it was natural for him to lose control over "this creature" after severing its Zerg bloodline; this was within Xu Zhi's expectations. However, he still had a means of possession. It was the same method he used to possess Messiah back then: the inner space of the sea of consciousness! By implanting a consciousness entity within the other party's sea of consciousness, he could indirectly control them. But now, that wouldn't work either. Without the bloodline, the inner space bloodline of the sea of consciousness was naturally gone as well.

"Without the inner space bloodline, I can't possess them. This is quite frustrating." Xu Zhi looked at the infant that was meant to replace Messiah and said calmly, "If it's not a Zerg, how am I supposed to control it?"

Xu Zhi stood up and paced back and forth. Suddenly, his eyebrows lifted as he remembered the versatile Alchemy Factory. "If it has no supreme bone, why not just insert a lavishly golden supreme bone for it?" Xu Zhi inserted a lavishly golden inner space bloodline, which surprisingly filled the void perfectly, completing the missing structure. Yet, it still gave the impression of having no bloodline. After all, the alchemical bloodline "plugins" were, in a sense, external organs, operating on a principle similar to carrying Dao artifacts or using certain rule-based weapons. The feeling at that moment was like a creature without a bloodline, yet wielding a rule-based weapon from a bloodline lineage.

"It's done." Xu Zhi began to inhabit it, entering the sea of consciousness of the new bloodline. He was familiar with cultivating realms, directly using a large amount of primeval matter to rapidly advance its growth. After all, with no bloodline, the highest achievable stage was only Rank 8 God, which was relatively easy to reach.

"However, if I remember correctly, Messiah back then was merely a Rank 7 Heavenly Emperor. At that time, Gods were already the top combatants. Time truly spares no one."

Meanwhile, at Valkyrie Palace, which remained rooted in the Rank 7 Heavenly Court's cultivation ground, next to the Golden Fishing Ground.

"Those guys' little televisions are broadcasting again." Lin Hongfeng sat on Valkyrie Mountain in the Immortal World, looking at the verdant green sky outside with a touch of emotion. "Days flash by in the blink of an eye. We're all over ten thousand years old now."

"We've also broken through to become Rank 9 Dao Sages, but it's a pity our aptitudes aren't strong enough. We lack a perfect Rank 9 Dao foundation, so we're destined never to become Saints," Sheila said with a hint of bitterness. Not everyone was a monstrously unparalleled genius. Their talents didn't reach the level of Rank 10 Saints; they were only at the Rank 9 level. They could only break through as incomplete Rank 9 Dao Sages. They couldn't simply wait until old age and death to try for that perfect Dao foundation, could they?

"Still, we are already fortunate. Who knows how many heaven's favored children of our era have already fallen?" Mu Yuling whispered.

"Indeed." Sheila's expression was complex and filled with emotion. "I recall back then, Uncle Messiah taking me through the Demon World, telling stories in taverns, speaking of ancient times, and Gilgamesh's past. Then he led us to quell the demonic cults of the Heavenly Court, finally settling in the Valkyrie Palace. It feels like yesterday; it's hard to imagine ten thousand years have passed." They were all deeply moved; that splendid period of time clearly felt just like yesterday.

"No more idle chatter! Let's continue to exercise. Youth is about sweating it out, and daughters should strive for self-improvement!" Lin Hongfeng laughed loudly, leading a group of people to train. But the next second, everyone seemed to sense something, and they all looked sideways in unison.

Whoosh, whoosh. Suddenly, a distant mountain peak began to tremble slightly. The ancient, massive stone tablet of "Mentor Messiah's Tomb" vibrated slightly.

He experimented several more times, gradually grasping the trick. He had collected various exotic and demonic beasts from different planets within the universe: birds, beasts, fish. "Sever!" Whoosh, whoosh. He saw the exotic beasts and demonic beasts before him suddenly collapse like spineless lumps of mud, falling to the ground and instantly rotting away. They were uncultivated, possessing only their first innate bloodline. When their innate bloodline was extracted, their genes directly collapsed. "This is quite evil! Severing a creature's bloodline rule is equivalent to extracting their tendons and bones, leading to a very high probability of death." This was equivalent to him obliterating the life's potential, the most foolish act in an era defined by bloodline life, without exception.

"However, severing the bloodline does have a somewhat similar aura..." Xu Zhi continued to experiment. "However, I'm starting to seriously doubt that the strange bloodline of the Cloud Star Dao Fruit, which pries open and modifies people's bloodlines, is a subordinate branch bloodline of this 'Severing Source' technique. This one is clearly more malicious." Xu Zhi shook his head. "It looks useless no matter how you view it."

Nourishing them with primeval matter helped them endure the painful period of having their bloodlines extracted. As a result, some began to survive. However, Xu Zhi soon discovered, "These are not true Rank 10 offspring. They are completely devoid of bloodline, having lost the most crucial element of life. From a cultivator's perspective, they are akin to a special, unprecedented type of disabled person!" "Without a bloodline, one can only pursue body cultivation or soul cultivation, and Rank 8 God is the absolute limit."

After all, rules exist in all things. Only when the Age of Dharma Ending had completely arrived, and the universe was fully perfected, would rules not exist in all things. Now, this directly severs the origin of the bloodline, extracting the core rule contained within the body. The other technique merely pries open and modifies, only touching the surface.
