Many students were whispering and discussing among themselves.

The teacher interrupted the chatter below. "Ahem, ahem, ahem, the era of the Great God's Descent passed over seventy years ago. We are still exploring the vastness of this world; it has become very unfamiliar. Especially the land beneath our feet, which we call 'underground cities,' 'caverns,' or 'underworlds.' Beings from these places constantly ascend, attacking and exploring us."

The land beneath their feet was, naturally, the inner universe. However, Kuang Tu's methods were terrifying; he established super-channels, allowing various civilizations from the extraordinary galactic domain directly below, even eighth-tier gods, to ascend. According to him, they were opponents. A civilization without adversaries, one without a sense of crisis, finds it difficult to develop rapidly. Of course, the land directly below was barren, with only a few enlightened beings and mostly gods. Although they faced overwhelming odds, they could still resist. This was also the clash between the martial arts system and the bloodline system. He also hoped to observe something from this.

The teacher continued speaking from above, "All of you are candidates for our 18th cohort. I wish you prosperous martial careers and success in entering your preferred martial arts universities. As for those whose martial arts aptitude isn't as strong, you can apply to the liberal arts academy to research martial arts techniques for warriors, become medical staff, or even analyze enemy intelligence."

"May your martial fortunes prosper!""May your martial fortunes prosper!"Countless students united in spirit.

Xu Zhi stood outside the window, observing calmly. He had witnessed many such nascent eras, but as he watched these young people, he had never felt such a profound sense of palpability and reality. Yes, incredibly real.

"Perhaps it's because this is a truly real world, not my sandbox, and I don't control it," Xu Zhi shook his head. He didn't have that omniscient, omnipotent sense of control now; he was just an ordinary person in this world. He couldn't observe or read their thoughts, their lives, or any of their interactions. Powerful beings might emerge among them very quickly, capable of sweeping through the era, and he would be unable to interfere. In fact, they might become so prosperous and powerful that even Xu Zhi would not be their match, and he might even be killed by their most outstanding individuals! But no one knew Xu Zhi's true form, nor had he ever crossed paths with them, so how could they possibly kill him?

"However, it's possible that Kuang Tu could be defeated and overthrown by the era's martial arts geniuses, because he has attracted too many external talents, and indigenous talents are also emerging here." Xu Zhi knew that Kuang Tu was also well aware of this possibility—that he himself might be overthrown. But if there wasn't even a possibility of overthrowing him, how could they hope to overthrow those chaotic beings?

"Fortune favors the bold; that's just how it is. It's impossible to gain everything without taking any risks. From this perspective, I am also like him; I have no way to control these beings. However, while I can't control this place, I can control all the heavens and myriad worlds. This place is merely an extra." The bloodline creatures of the grand universe would eventually be eliminated, but in the era of the heavens and myriad worlds, bloodline creatures were preserved, and it remained his territory.

"I have also become a decaying ancient dragon, like Emperor Qi back then—a tyrant blocking the Great Luo Heaven, cutting off the hopes of successors, unwilling to grow old despite no longer belonging to this era, and obstructing new arrivals." Xu Zhi walked along the street, watching the passersby, and soon rented a storefront, converting it into a martial arts dojo. Regardless, he needed to establish himself first.

At that moment, a student raised their hand high and said, "Teacher, we have a question about the expansion of our planetary land! According to geological scientists' estimates published in the Nimiel Times, our land isn't round at all; it's flat. We live on a flat surface, so there's an issue with the ancient history we're studying." After all, the history of the ruined civilization they had discovered indeed stated that they lived on a planet. This land had expanded and fractured, becoming vast and unpredictable, for several decades now.

The teacher, clearly a fanatic devotee of the Martial God Boqi, said, "The power of a god is immense. He has expanded our planet billions and billions of times. When a planet becomes sufficiently massive, its curvature becomes imperceptible, making it appear as if we live on a flat surface."

"Teacher, that's impossible! How enormous would such a planet have to be?""Exactly.""We awoke from the ruins, living as beasts on this land. We have continuously researched and excavated, studying prehistoric civilizations from ancient texts. The extinction was due to nuclear explosions when the Bilke Federation and the Nishilimia Great Empire waged a nuclear war, turning the land into ruins. This era we call the Great Cataclysm, and after two hundred more years living in the ruins, our bodies were weak and sickly, suffering from the lingering effects of nuclear radiation, which we couldn't resolve."

"Anyway, our technology is strong enough, our combat power is strong enough. Sooner or later, we will plant our flags everywhere on this land.""Wait! If this really is a planet, then why are there no sun, moon, or stars in the sky? Why is it all just a hazy grey?""Could it be that this planet is simply too vast, and there are no celestial bodies of comparable size outside of it?"

This clearly implied that Kuang Tu's expansion of the land and completion of their bodily structures were naturally seen by mortals as the descent of a god.

"Not necessarily. I think it's possible it is a planet! How can we mortals measure the omnipotent power of a god? For all we know, we really are on a planet right now, perhaps on a specific continent?""Then if this planet is so enormous, how do we rule it?"

At this moment, inside a three-story school classroom, students were listening below, while a teacher lectured above. Many beings were repopulating and adapting to this unfamiliar world. The prehistoric era, marked by nuclear bomb explosions, was called the "Great Cataclysm" by them. Furthermore, Kuang Tu had also introduced many life forms he deemed useful. Muscular lizard-dragons, long snake-dragons, and various birds, even though their bloodlines had been severed, possessed body types and muscle structures that were most suitable.

"Regarding this point, the teacher himself has a theory."

"At that time, the celestial god 'Boqi' descended, completing our foundations and making us whole. He taught us the cultivation methods of martial arts and soul arts, and tore the earth apart for us, expanding the planet we live on countless times over. This era is known as the 'Era of the Great God's Descent.' Consequently, this land was extremely dangerous, teeming with all kinds of beasts."
