Chapter 1410: Meeting

All the Undying Saints sighed.

Their Undying World had controlled the entire universe for over 14 billion long years of civilization, accumulating numerous trump cards, making them invincible in the current era! All beings believed they were only invincible within the Nine Great Universes, but they didn't know that at crucial moments, they possessed their strongest trump card: the ability to delve deep into the Sea of Chaos and display invincible combat power anywhere in the universe!

Their Undying World was unassailable. Entering the Sea of Chaos was merely a displayed vulnerability! Anyone who easily believed it would surely be trapped and killed. However, entering the Sea of Chaos required the emergence of the Undying World, a grand vessel of the Sea of Chaos, at a great cost. In reality, their Undying World was already invincible, with no weaknesses anywhere in the entire universe, capable of appearing and descending at will.

At this moment, if the Tenth Universe were to surface and arrive in that sea area, not to mention requiring the ancient Undying Dao Ancestors to act, their nine Saints could all intervene and capture them all! A mere single true Undying God Tu Xin, and five disabled Undying Saint-level combatants? They would instead be obliterated by their nine opponents! With nine of them joining forces, within ten moves, the situation would undoubtedly reverse, and the Tu Xin lineage would instead be completely wiped out. All their accumulated efforts would turn to dust, and everything would be gained by their Myriad Worlds, significantly increasing their chances against the future.

Yet, at this moment, they were abandoning such a heaven-defying trump card that could secure victory with a single move. They merely watched as the nine of them were defeated, unwilling to offer any help...

“It's rotten, truly rotten.” Mad Butcher gave a bitter laugh. “Our era is ending, rife with infighting and division. We lack the spirit to fight back, like a weathered old man in his twilight years, having lost even the courage to struggle....”

Many hearts grew cold. Those from the Myriad Worlds didn't flee, choosing to fight alongside them, still holding a sliver of hope, yet they themselves fled. The Undying Dao Palace emerged and could have directly suppressed them with overwhelming force, yet it still did not act... These two sides presented a stark contrast.

“Is our era truly doomed to perish?”

“Hateful!” an Undying Saint clenched his fist. “We possess incredible power, yet we cannot go to battle and slay enemies. The Undying World simply won't emerge! We can only watch helplessly from the depths of the Sea of Chaos...”

Further away, the Mother River civilization, the Underworld civilization — they were not to be trifled with either. While their combat power wasn't as extreme as that of the Cosmic Evil God, who only pursued the path of slaughter, their opponents were not Tu Xin; they were also death warriors whose realms had been temporarily elevated, surprisingly fighting on equal terms for a moment. After years of development, the leading factions of the Myriad Worlds, with tens of thousands of universes from each faction joining forces, astonishingly held their ground!

“We underestimated you; to think you could reach such a level. It seems our decision to go all out, leaving no room for error, was correct.” The five beings displayed their unique abilities and directly attacked, sneering, “However, while you appear capable of fighting us head-on, you are actually too scattered... Your power isn't as concentrated as that of the Evil God; you're just a bunch of miscellaneous fish.” Their figures solidified as they slowly swung their fists. “Moreover, the Sea of Chaos is already our home ground. The universe has begun to repel you from the Sea of Chaos.”

Several beings unleashed their respective attacks. Massive bursts of light erupted, and endless particles surged. Emperor Qi, Caroline, the Three Pillar Gods, and other Undying Saints each entered their respective Myriad Universes, stubbornly resisting. Various trump cards were also immediately deployed. The elemental aggregation of the Mother River system and the Dragon Vein Incense Universe of Buddhist-Dao civilization began to create universe-type Incense Gods, with a dazzling array of techniques emerging one after another.

However, they still found it difficult to resist.

“There's one more move.” At that moment, the Three Pillar Gods in the distance calculated furiously, with vast amounts of data flowing, and calmly spoke, “They have a determination to die; do we not?”

“You mean...”

“We'll perish together,” the Three Pillar Gods stated. “Countless Myriad Universes will join forces to forcibly hold them back, sacrificing everything, and then collectively be drawn into this 'Genesis' vortex.”

Many people's expressions subtly changed.

“It's better than being killed outright.” The Three Pillar Gods said, “Even if we die, we'll take a piece of them. Besides, even if these Myriad Universes are destroyed and all our efforts are obliterated, we aren't dead yet... Because in the era of the Myriad Worlds, we are immortal. As long as we defeat the enemy, there's still a possibility of a comeback.”

The surroundings were a void.

Xu Zhi was unaware of everything happening in the Undying World, yet he could feel a strong sense of crisis. He was also constantly observing the external situation.

“This is troublesome.” Xu Zhi sat cross-legged in the Sea of Chaos. “The Myriad Worlds are their painstaking efforts, which they've used to counter the enemy's trump cards. Simultaneously, they are my efforts... My only confidence to resist this era. If they are destroyed, then I am finished too.” This was an inexpressible crisis. As the Myriad Worlds outside were blasted apart one by one, his heart continuously bled profusely.

“However, I've also deduced something,” Xu Zhi murmured. “My Grand Universe cultivation technique simply cannot be perfected or implemented for beings without bloodlines.” Xu Zhi had discovered that singularities also had differences. The incomplete singularity he controlled, which was related to bloodlines, could only be used to control bloodline-cultivating beings. To control non-bloodline beings? Unless Xu Zhi could master a perfect singularity, he wouldn't be able to improve his Grand Universe cultivation technique and control new non-bloodline species. At that time, as long as he mastered a true singularity, the source of the Great Dao, regardless of the system — bloodline-based, non-bloodline, or anything else — all would be controlled by his Grand Universe cultivation technique... Because all changes stem from the same origin.

“To cultivate a Grand Universe technique that controls all matter, I must break through to the eleventh rank and master a true singularity... This false singularity before me won't allow me to break through.” Xu Zhi shook his head. “Then, the plan is clear. I must be the very first in the universe to break through to the eleventh rank and use the Grand Universe cultivation technique to envelop those new lives, 'eliminating' them. This way, the universe's only major force resisting me will be gone, allowing me, this 'cancer cell,' to act as I please... Furthermore, only by being the first to break through will I avoid revealing any flaws.”

The universe only contains bloodline beings and non-bloodline beings. Bloodline beings are already on my side; if I can deal with the other side... then the Grand Universe cultivation technique will truly encompass all living beings, and I will truly become the Creator God...

“But being the first to break through to the eleventh rank is somewhat difficult, though not impossible...” Xu Zhi pressed his temples, aware of the crisis outside. Now was not the time to focus on perfecting this Grand Universe cultivation technique, as that was still somewhat distant. “Next, I should refine the miraculous martial arts that I've already largely calculated. Here, I should be able to acquire some of the universe's primordial chaotic matter, which should allow me to achieve it...”

He knew there was no time to lose. His primary goal was to resolve the current predicament; if the situation outside dragged on for much longer, things would become truly dire. Xu Zhi began frantically perfecting his miraculous martial arts and reforming his quantum body, his physical form improving at a visible rate.

“Unfortunately, it's still a bit slow; I might not make it in time...” Xu Zhi frowned slightly.

The next second, crack.

Within the chaotic vortex, a towering, light-year-sized giant appeared, its body entangled with countless basketball-sized universes, which it fiercely dragged inwards.

“How dare you try to perish with me!” roared a mighty entity.

“Heh heh... You have guts, and so do we!” This came from a faction of the Mother River civilization, and some familiar voices could even be heard among them. They charged directly in, fighting and roaring, engaging in a desperate struggle to their limits.

But in the next second, everyone slightly turned their heads, noticing Di Zun sitting cross-legged in the center. He seemed to be seated on a chaotic lotus flower within the Sea of Chaos, drifting amidst the primordial matter of the universe, meditating with closed eyes, his body repeatedly shattering and reconstituting, as if he were a Celestial Venerable who had opened up the heavens and earth within the cosmos.

“Di Zun? He's actually here?” Engaged in fierce battle, they abruptly turned their heads, a look of disbelief on their faces. “He's still alive?”
