Chapter 1458: Human Cleansing Plan, World-Ending Eternal Ark

"This scene will be etched into eternity."

Gazing at the sunset glow in the sky, everyone felt an ancient presence, an overbearing aura of being supreme in all directions, as if He stood above the universe. This great prehistoric God of Gods looked down upon the nine multiverses.

They all knew this would be an unprecedented historical moment, opening a magnificent chapter in history.

A new era of civilization had begun.

"This battle before us will be passed down through eternity."

An ancient immortal elder looked up, speaking with deep shock: "Time will forget everything! It will forget the first sage who created heaven and earth!

It will forget the three great beings who commanded time, dimensions, and life!

It will forget the tumultuousness of the Eternal Realm war, the victory of the nine immortal sages... but it will never forget Him!"

"Because this scene already represents eternity."

"The Eleventh Order has transcended time. As the One True Dao, the source of the universe, all rules originate from Him, symbolizing eternity, imperishable and immortal, completely transcending the universe...."

Time would freeze here!

Everyone knew this moment would lead to eternity, a permanent state of transcendence, imperishable and immortal, omnipotent, omniscient, the ultimate majestic being who creates and destroys universes!

This was the greatest allure of the Final Gate!

It symbolized the greatest dream of sages across all universes for fourteen billion years, for whom they had continuously strived!

"The Grand Dao of Eleven is the true path of the universe," said Chi Ji from a distance, reflecting the beautiful afterglow of the sunset. "What we cultivate is merely a false path, unable to transform into the truth. The Grand Dao of the universe has only ten seats, yet he has already cut across an era, blocking the Tenth Order seats and forbidding anyone from ascending to the final throne."

What did this mean?

It meant he completely held the power over life and death in the entire universe!

He suppressed and monopolized everything, eradicating Tu Xin and all beings in the Eternal Realm.

If he wished, he could arbitrarily appoint any being to become Eleventh Order, to sit on one of the universe's only ten "Grand Dao Thrones" and preside over a multiverse.

Even this universe, the Eternal Realm, no longer belonged to its master.

"We will all be dominated by this ancient prehistoric being," some new-era beings wailed. "We lost; it was clearly our era."

They were like tender sprouts in the universe, clearly beginning to grow vigorously, yet they were forcefully suppressed by the ancient presence, unable to decide their own future.

This was impossible, yet it had happened.

Boom.

The two meteors falling into the Sea of Chaos were completely exhausted, with almost no power left to resist.

"The defeat is set. Have we truly lost after all?"

Struck down into the Sea of Chaos, Zhizhu stared blankly at the sky. "This can be called an unprecedented variable. I was clearly destined for a seat, yet..."

He already knew clearly.

He and Tu Xin had now become prisoners, facing a fate at the mercy of others.

When the ultimate Eleventh Order era arrived in the future and the doors to the seats opened, they would no longer belong to them.

"No! I haven't lost yet!"

Zhizhu's gaze sharpened. "Do you really think this is all I have? You truly underestimate me. Then, let's try this move!"

"Though the outcome may not be perfect, from the very beginning, I have stood on unconquerable ground! This is my last trump card!"

He suddenly made a distant grasping motion, and the Eternal Realm trembled slightly.

Everyone felt the trembling of the Eternal Realm and immediately showed unimaginable surprise.

"Old man Zhizhu, you sly old fox, you still had something hidden!?" the Insect Race Matriarch exclaimed in complete shock. "What other terrifying methods do you have?"

Just how many layers deep was this old undying fellow thinking?

He had just said he would fight passionately alongside them. If they really won, he wouldn't use this hidden trump card to scheme against his comrades and then discard them like a slaughtered donkey, would he?

Truly shameless!

He was clearly already eliminated by the era, with combat power far inferior to theirs, yet his methods were incredibly terrifying!

No wonder when the three great beings contended back then, only the weakest among them, he, emerged victorious. This person could be called the most insidious being in the universe throughout history.

The ultimate master of the art of cunning survival!

Boom, boom, boom!

The Eternal Realm began to tremble, and even the entire nine universes began to tremble.

In each of the nine universes, in a certain chaotic land deep within, a fissure suddenly opened, and ancient clay statues slowly opened their eyes.

"What is this??"

All the multiversal sages vaguely sensed these presences.

"You didn't expect this, did you?!"

Zhizhu's voice was full of exhilaration: "Not only did I freeze the Tenth Order sage overlords from throughout the universe's history, I also froze a large number of Ninth Order enlightened ones! They can attain the Tenth Order in any of the nine universes at any time!"

"I! Will not lose!!!"

Zhizhu slowly rose, with boiling blood rushing to his brain.

"Now, the universe's rules are only nearly nine-tenths complete," he declared. "I already prepared a group of Ninth Order cultivators in ancient times who can attain the Dao at any time to complete the final gate of the universe!"

"Do you think I truly need to rely on you, the cosmic geniuses of these eras, to attain the Dao one by one to usher in the final era?"

"You underestimate me too much."

"I never place my hopes on others. To ensure the advent of a golden age comparable to that of the Eternal Realm era, and to prevent the birth of peerless genius enemies who could rival or destroy me!

In my plan, if the era went even slightly awry, and a great trend similar to the Eternal Realm era began to emerge with geniuses starting to be nurtured, I would directly enact a complete destruction of the nine universes, pry open the chaotic membrane, let the chaotic sea waters flood into the universes, and destroy all living beings!"

Everyone's pupils slightly dilated.

"I named this plan the 'Humanity Purge Plan'."

"And to prevent a scenario where, after destroying the beings of the universes, there would be no young sages of the era to attain the Dao and complete the final cosmic rules to pry open the Final Gate... I naturally made preparations."

He said coldly, "It is this very group of people."

"Throughout the long ages, I have secretly cultivated this group of ordinary Ninth Order cultivators, whose aptitudes were all tested to pose no threat to me. They are fully capable of completing three layers of the universe's Grand Dao! Now, only one layer of the universe remains incomplete; it will be effortless!!"

Everyone listened in utter shock.

This monster!!!

Over the long years, Zhizhu had accumulated far too many terrifying trump cards.

The group of people he had prepared was enough to complete the remaining three layers of the universe's Grand Dao!

Although he didn't know what genius or monstrous enemies would appear in the future to contend with him for the Grand Dao, he even had a "Humanity Extinction Plan."

As long as a prosperous age seemed possible, he would directly launch the "Great Flood," destroying all living beings across the nine universes!

Yes.

Destroying all universes, leaving only himself and the nine immortal sages in the entire universe, standing in this wasteland, drifting on the ark of the Eternal Realm, awaiting the arrival of the final era.

And to prevent a situation where after his world-ending act there would be no new sages of the era to attain the Dao and mature the universe, he had already prepared a group of people in advance who could completely attain the Dao of the final rules without relying on new sages of the era!

"What a madman!!!"

"Utterly insane."

Everyone looked at Zhizhu, terrified, unable to imagine the scope of this being's actions.

That was an act of world annihilation!

Not destroying a single star or a galaxy, but destroying the entire universe, all living beings across the nine multiverses.

At that time, the nine universes would face world annihilation by a "Great Flood," and the Eternal Realm would become the universe's true "Noah's Ark," carrying all bloodline seeds and genius clansmen toward the distant future to meet the Final Gate.

"Isn't this quite normal?"

Zhizhu's expression was calm. "Destroying the world with a flood from the Sea of Chaos is merely a great purge. If the creatures and civilizations, which are like grass, are destroyed, then they are destroyed. After all, a new era will begin, and they will reproduce again."

The Insect Race Matriarch burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Hahahahaha! You are truly a sly old fox! To be so vile and despicable, so afraid of death to this extent!

What a pity, your world-ending plan is utterly useless! You thought your enemies were bloodline creatures, but you never imagined they were new life forms emerging from the Sea of Chaos! You can control the life and death of beings within the nine universes, but you cannot control what is outside the universes!"

Everyone's hearts trembled.

This was probably destiny.

Zhizhu had already made complete preparations, using every possible means to resist future variables, but in the end, he could not resist the grand trend of the era. Even his "Great Flood World-Ending Plan" was already a part of destiny.

Xu Zhi's expression also grew astonished.

In the era he had deduced, the opponent did not use this plan. "It should be that the Eternal Realm indeed had this plan at the time, but did not use it, because there was no possibility of it being activated."

After all, how would it be activated?

Destroying themselves to facilitate the invasion of chaotic beings?

But even so, Xu Zhi felt a chill down his spine.

This was world annihilation!

The Eternal Realm was indeed a terrifying, massive shadow looming high above the universe. If the era went slightly awry, they might, amidst the grand arrival of the Eleventh Order, directly annihilate the world.

The methods were ruthless, but also the most effective.

How could previous Insect Race Matriarchs possibly have defeated such a being?

There wasn't even the slightest chance.

"But it's being used now, isn't it?" Zhizhu said softly. "These people are enough to instantly complete the universe, allow the universe to mature and perfect, and open the Eleventh Order gate!"

"If that's the case, then even if we haven't won, we haven't lost either!"

At this moment, Tu Xin also laughed loudly and strode forward. "Quickly, let them instantly attain the Dao and let the final era fully arrive! We'll seize the opportunity to break through to the Eleventh Order! We'll be colleagues with the Emperor. Everyone will just have to shake hands and make peace, unable to do anything to each other. It'll be a happy ending for all!"

This was the best method.

If the era had not arrived and it was still only eight-tenths complete, even with his powerful vitality, the Emperor would have countless ways to slowly eliminate the two of them, making them his prisoners.

After all, the complete arrival of the future era was still a long way off!

But now, if they could instantly usher in the final day, they could seize the chance to break through...

This was also a method of escape!

And a method of success!

Though utterly shameless....

But the Emperor would still need some time to kill them, which should be enough time for them to break through.

Even if everyone simultaneously advanced in realm and became true Eleventh Order beings, they still wouldn't be a match for the Emperor even together. However, by occupying one of the Grand Dao seats of a universe and having an entire universe as their personal Dao field, the opponent wouldn't be able to kill them!

"Quickly! Let the final era arrive completely!"

Zhizhu, clearly severely injured and floating in the Sea of Chaos in a truly wretched state, couldn't help but let out an indescribable cry of exhilaration, shouting: "This way, even if I lose, my dream can still be realized!"
