"Have you noticed that those creatures, despite their immense size, cultivate only a few hundred times slower than us?" At this, the Three-Pillar God next to him also smiled, "They seem to be a part of nature already."

"Oh? Isn't that perfectly normal?" Caroline chuckled, "They have no bloodlines, which means no elemental affinities. They absorb energy naturally and quickly, without needing conversion... whereas every one of us has colorful bloodlines, making energy absorption naturally difficult... Moreover, they found the dojo nodes beneath their feet, making absorption twice as effective. Haven't you seen how the entire cosmic region beneath those nodes has been drained? It's unknown how many years it will take to recover."

Zhi Ji was speechless and murmured to Di Zun, "This group on the ship is so bitter."

"Who isn't full of complaints, paving the way for others?" Di Zun shook his head and smiled faintly, "When billions of years of effort turn out to be just a beautiful dream, when the meaning of one's life is merely to pave the way for others, who wouldn't be so angry?"

"When you originally thought you were human, but then discovered you were actually a pig, plowing land for others, beautifying fields, born only to be eaten – who would be in a good mood?"

"My lord is also a little bitter," Zhi Ji quietly remarked upon hearing this, yet nodded. "However, their emotions are very angry and chaotic; they don't seem very suitable for combat?"

"Who knows?" Di Zun shook his head. "Each of them is incredibly intelligent and confident; they won't act recklessly."

Currently, there are two factions. On one side are the martial artists; those most skilled in martial combat have been selected and are on the ship. Those not skilled in martial arts, but proficient in bloodlines and evolution, remain in "Myriad Worlds," developing with people like Rong Cheng. After all, they have also discovered that the Sea of Chaos has begun to reject them. With the official arrival of the Sea of Chaos's "favored children," it naturally seeks to expel them.

Therefore, Myriad Worlds is leaving the Sea of Chaos, accelerating their move onto land, and fortifying coastal defenses in seaside cities. In the players' words, they are about to start a "Plants vs. Zombies" tower defense game, striking anyone who dares to approach. Myriad Worlds will defend, and this side will naturally attack. This attack aims to find... another possible path to survival beyond Myriad Worlds!

"The Myriad Worlds of the old era can wait for now. We need to defeat the opponent with a new system from the new era... starting with their physical size," Di Zun stated calmly. "However, they have also developed many unique martial arts... some of which are already quite astonishing, offering the possibility of fighting across size differences."

Working in isolation is absolutely not an option. While they are weak, we should visit, study their civilization, and refine our martial arts.

"The possibility refers to Daojun's martial arts, and also the martial arts of Di Qi and the other two?" Zhi Ji asked, surprised.

"Yes," Di Zun's expression was calm. "Honestly, everyone on this ship has pioneered a comprehensive martial arts principle that can branch into countless systems! For example, Quantum Battle Body branched into the major martial arts of the Four Grandmasters back then. And now, the three of Di Qi—the Chaos Heads—have also branched into their three lineages?"

"So, the systems they developed based on this could potentially allow them to fight across cultivation realms?" Zhi Ji's gaze was filled with disbelief.

Xu Zhi, however, was not surprised. Too many geniuses had emerged in this era. But they lacked sufficient time to rise; their cultivation realms were too low, and they might not catch up to this battle within a thousand years... However, these geniuses were all encompassed by Zhou Meng and Di Qi, who, with the help of countless talents, deduced "Alchemy" and "Chaos Heads." Daojun, Medusa, and other such beings also included them in their think tanks, collaborating to refine their cultivation techniques. After all, they held a first-mover advantage in "Myriad Worlds," originally being among the largest cosmic powers, so recruiting people was naturally effortless...

They were still sailing on the sea. Suddenly, they saw a gigantic tribe, so vast it seemed to cover the sky. The enormous transcendent ship, with its black hull and green deck, was like a black ant carrying a small green leaf, moving under the giants' watchful eyes.

"That is..."

"How vast, grandeur itself is beauty."

They looked up. The super cosmic vessel, massive enough to rival half a planet, was merely a size smaller than an ant. And they, indeed, were no different from fungi or bacteria. Living in a giants' kingdom, they truly were fungi among fungi.

"Are you ready?" At this moment, Di Zun stood on the black carved dragon head at the ship's bow, gazing into the distance. "Bacteria, who will defeat humanity in this battle? Which of you three 'Chaos Heads' will go first?"

"I will." The Three-Pillar God smiled slightly, slowly walked forward, and looked at the vast tribe before him. "Bacteria and viruses mean an invisible disaster is about to descend."

"We are bed bugs!"

"We are breadcrumbs!"

The rivers, lakes, and seas of the cosmic land had naturally been fully formed. These two were discussing passionately, always giving off an enthusiastic vibe. Xu Zhi sat by the deck, sipping tea, watching the two of them sway arm-in-arm on the deck, singing like they were drunk, with a strange expression. It felt like these two were inseparable, always appearing and disappearing together, as if an unusual spark had ignited between them.

As the ship sailed, the chaotic lake water beneath it rippled clearly, becoming very transparent. The ship was moving.

"Have you noticed that as the cosmic rules become complete, they've started to reject incomplete bloodline universes?" At this, Di Qi next to him said calmly, "We're in the sea, and we're being rejected again."

"Oh? Isn't that perfectly normal?" Caroline chuckled, "With the universe's completion, bloodlines no longer exist. Even if you built an isolated city of old in a 'self-sustaining universe' model, it would naturally be rejected... We are growing weaker, while they grow stronger. Who can blame them? They are the protagonists of this era, and they have a good 'father'."

"We're already going full throttle. The younger generation has been nurtured, and Myriad Worlds, martial arts bloodlines, and various methods seem abundant. I wonder if they can withstand this?"

Perhaps these two were martial arts prodigies, each extreme in their own way, who had rarely met their match and thus appreciated each other. Xu Zhi's gaze moved past these two, looking to the side. However, since rivers, lakes, and seas had been planned, it was natural to create a special path for themselves—a sea route from their civilization to the cosmic Sea of Chaos was certainly indispensable.

Planned in the most perfect and rational "architectural sandbox" state, it became very livable.

Kuang Tu laughed heartily, standing on the ship and gazing into the distance. He said, "What a pity! In our old days, we split continents, shaped nine great continents, completed their natural ecosystems, and now we've even helped them sort out the rivers... It's like slaughtering the donkey after it's done its grinding! Now I feel like I want to go all out and mess up all these rivers, lakes, and seas before I die!"

Renar, as one of the so-called younger generation, also burst out laughing, scoffing, "What 'slaughtering the donkey after it's done its grinding'?! Our original mission was just to be creatures who worked for free! We weren't even fit to live on the surface, only able to exist as inferior fungi 'in the mud,' transforming the environment for them from there... Now that the environment is complete, we should become food, and they should enjoy this nature!"

"We are fermenting bacteria!"

The sky remained overcast, unchanging from beginning to end.

"We only prepared for over a thousand years, yet it still came, much faster than we imagined... Life has begun to emerge in the seawater beneath us; I can feel chaotic microorganisms appearing in the water."

"We are food!"
