Chapter 763: Century-Shaking Change

Players of the entire evolution sandbox felt deeply humiliated.

Had this guy secretly snuck in?

However, they soon realized that this batch of players, including Yuan Qinghua, were nearing the end of their lifespan and would soon be 'dead' in the game. It was likely that, knowing their time was almost up, they had exited that online game and switched over to this one.

Meng Mei: "No wonder a few days ago, when you said your pants felt a bit cold, you suddenly vanished. I thought you went to wash your pants and shut yourself away, but who knew you were stirring up trouble? (Picks nose)"

These past few days, they had been discussing the aftermath: the Lord of Reincarnation had ascended to immortality, and another titan had joined the myriad realms' war, stirring up chaos across countless worlds.

It seemed the Level Nine World War was about to officially begin!

Among the Three Pillar Gods, Emperor Sakura, the Lord of Reincarnation, and Emperor Qi, who would emerge victorious?

And even if one or many of them broke through to Level Nine after winning, they likely wouldn't be able to accumulate sufficient power to possess astonishing combat strength within Level Nine.

So, how powerful was the enemy of the ancient gods—the mysterious cosmic civilization that destroyed ancient Chinese civilization and caused Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to weep in the old temple?

Who exactly was it?

When would it appear?

After the ancient gods fell into slumber, would they be able to endure?

They debated all these points.

But now, someone's flamboyant move had shattered the calm.

Yuan Qinghua: "Hahahaha! Brothers, I finally succeeded! I evolved a creature and entered the myriad realms!

To my brothers with whom I've shared life-and-death bonds, I'm temporarily retiring from this online game! Please help look after the seven children that Bai Xiaojun and I left behind!

To tell you the truth, ever since I became an Asura Path warrior and was locked up by the Deva Path to be a breeding pig—those miserable days—I utilized the time flow there, spending a lifetime of eighty years furiously studying evolution theory!

After all, the Asura Path's form evolution originally relies on evolutionary knowledge... Also, I've recently been researching the flesh and blood of the giant octopus... (Tears up)"

Shameless scoundrel!

Countless spore evolution players' faces darkened.

And some players from the Beast Path also looked displeased. Some of them had considered this move—using the in-game time to acquire knowledge and then returning to achieve enlightenment.

But they hadn't expected this beast to be so quick.

Moreover, the species this guy evolved was likely related to the characteristics of both the giant octopus and the Asura Path! This was practically stealing their path, leaving them with no way forward.

After all, similar species couldn't be duplicated.

Yuan Qinghua: "Brothers of spore evolution, don't be angry! The reason you resent the development team and curse the increasingly high threshold for species to enter the myriad realms is because you haven't yet understood the development team's profound intentions and painstaking efforts!"

Everyone was startled.

Yuan Qinghua: "As the saying goes, 'Take a step back, and the sea is vast and the sky boundless.' You've become too obsessed with evolving here. The opening of the online game world was clearly meant for you to go there to learn, and then return here to achieve enlightenment!"

"The Heavenly Emperor lifespan for Asura Path warriors is eighty years. Why? It's for you to go in and learn evolutionary knowledge during those eighty years!"

"The correct learning approach is progressive."

"Wizard community – Six Paths online game – Spore evolution. By continuously learning, then evolving. If you stubbornly grind here without time to accumulate knowledge, if your head isn't bald enough from studying, it definitely won't work!"

Everyone's minds suddenly exploded, feeling a profound clarity like an epiphany.

Now that they thought about it, it was indeed true; the timing perfectly aligned.

After the rate of new spore evolution species slowed down, the Six Paths of Reincarnation online game sandbox was opened.

The original goal was for them to spend time learning there, and then return here to achieve enlightenment, but they had overlooked the profound meaning behind it!

"Holy hell! Brothers! Tomorrow, we switch battlefields to the neighbor!"

"Which server will take us in?"

Immediately, they all started speaking.

Countless servers began frantically snatching up these talents.

After all, anyone capable of writing a thesis to get in was no simple person. If they could enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation and evolve as Asura Path warriors, their evolutionary talents would surely make them incredibly powerful life creators. Various extraordinary organs could fetch high prices. What gaming guild wouldn't try to recruit such individuals?

Meanwhile, the batch of players, including Yuan Qinghua, who were about to 'die of old age,' all declared:

"Damn it! Brothers, it's our turn to write theses and evolve spores!"

"After all, having evolved in the Asura Path for so many years, our knowledge is extensive, and I've gained some confidence!"

In an instant, both sides exchanged territories, creating a flourishing era.

A mature hierarchical industry chain was fully formed: Wizard Community -> Six Paths of Reincarnation Online Game -> Spore Evolution to Enlightenment.

"So that's how it is?"

Xu Zhi, seeing this scene, had originally thought it would be phased out, but who knew it had instead become a fully mature supernatural creature industry chain.

"Indeed, there's no need to intervene. They will develop and iterate on their own... I just need to watch their spectacular performance from the sidelines." After taking a deep breath, Xu Zhi looked at the new species evolved by Yuan Qinghua. It was a humanoid skeleton, with delicate, tiny hollows on its frame, like a sieve.

Name: Plug-in WarriorTalents: Compatibility, Ultra-fast Flesh Regeneration

A two-talent gene creature?

Xu Zhi remained unconcerned by this.

More talents weren't necessarily better. A life with four 'trash' genes would have extremely low potential, as talents could be fused later to become four integrated genes anyway.

"Compatibility means eliminating organ rejection from various races?" Xu Zhi pondered. This biological talent must have been developed from studying Asura Path warriors.

And ultra-fast flesh regeneration was clearly the giant octopus's talent, which was more or less dispensable.

"It seems conventional, practically a replica of an Asura Path warrior, but it has infinite possibilities..." Xu Zhi thought it was quite good. "After all, Asura Path warriors are disabled creatures."

Through continuous evolution using phased creation flow rates, their lifespans were drastically reduced. Even upon reaching Heavenly Emperor, they only had eighty years of life.

This was also the current difficulty for the players.

No matter how hard they 'grinded,' they could only barely reach Heavenly Emperor. With an eighty-year lifespan, it was incredibly difficult to break through the threshold of becoming a deity, unless they were monstrous talents with incredibly exaggerated abilities.

After all, eighty years was too short.

And this, in itself, was a selection process by Xu Zhi.

After all, in a large online game world with a huge population, for individuals to become gods and truly transcend, no matter how stringent the conditions, it wouldn't be excessive.

"This creature, however, is a normal biological entity. Although it doesn't possess evolutionary characteristics... its compatibility is very high."

Xu Zhi's expression was calm. "It can incorporate various bloodlines, such as demon cores... and it can even achieve what Emperor Qi struggles with when stealing bloodlines. For instance, Emperor Qi cannot learn the bloodlines of an entire race."

After all, an entire race's cells are throughout the whole body, not just a plug-in.

But this skeleton is different; it can install the cells and flesh of an entire race from others onto its own body.

It can even surpass the five-gene limit, with no upper bound...

Dozens of bloodlines could be added to it.

Of course, its combat power wouldn't be truly heaven-defying. Since each bloodline wasn't native, achieving even sixty percent of its original potency would be good, making it quite complex and mixed.

Hahahaha!

"Brothers, see you in the myriad realms!"

At this moment, in the spore evolution sandbox, Yuan Qinghua was full of vigor. "You are all short-lived eighty-year-olds, while I am a super-potential life from birth. Entering the myriad realms, I have a lifespan of eight hundred years. With my previous cultivation experience, why would I worry about not breaking through to godhood?... I wonder, what kind of world is it?"

In the spore evolution sandbox, all the trees, along with the players, stared at him with bitter resentment.

They had toiled countless times here and failed, yet this guy succeeded so quickly upon entering. Who wouldn't be angry?

Meanwhile, Xu Zhi's expression was also somewhat displeased.

Watching Yuan Qinghua swagger confidently, preparing to enter the myriad realms,

"First, the Lord of You Shan caused trouble, and now you Beast Path players, knowing you're about to die of old age, turn around and cause trouble for me? You've caught me completely unprepared, without any warning."

He felt somewhat speechless; it seemed every single one of them was determined to cause trouble.

"He's coming in now, and I'm completely unprepared for an emergency... letting him into this nascent civilization would simply upset the balance." Xu Zhi's expression suddenly turned strange as he looked at the fish tank nearby. "Then..."

Splash.

Inside the world tunnel, it was pitch black.

After a long journey, light gradually appeared.

When Yuan Qinghua, the skeleton warrior, opened his eyes and saw everything again, he found himself in a colossal glass fish tank, complete with vast mountains and lands, green trees, plant-filled valleys, and even pools of water.

"How beautiful, this is the myriad realms," Yuan Qinghua thought, highly satisfied.

Suddenly, a majestic and handsome black dragon flew towards space, letting out a roar.

A golden Qilin roamed gracefully across the land, beautiful and sacred, exuding endless auspiciousness.

"Here...!??" Yuan Qinghua suddenly froze, his entire being numb.

Suddenly, he abruptly turned his head.

"Yingyu, with a fish body and bird wings, its sound like a mandarin duck, its appearance presages great floods in its city." He looked at the river; there was a magnificent and extraordinary mythical beast.

An earth-shattering roar echoed.

Yuan Qinghua turned his head to look, trembling violently all over. His mind completely gave way as he recalled ancient Chinese records: "On Mount Gui, there is a beast whose form is like an ox, with hedgehog bristles, named Qiongqi, its sound like a howling dog, and it devours humans."

How could this be?

How could so many ancient mythical beasts from China on Earth be confined and displayed in a fish tank?

Terrified, Yuan Qinghua turned around and looked at the scene outside the fish tank glass:

It was a huge living room, with a sofa, chairs, a coffee table, and fresh flowers in a ceramic vase. It was a very classic and elegant style.

"Ancient Chinese divine beasts, mythical creatures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all confined in a fish tank for people to view, like trophies..."

"This!!?"

Yuan Qinghua was drenched in sweat, utterly terrified.

He suddenly remembered the topic netizens had discussed earlier: who exactly was the enemy back then...

He trembled uncontrollably, shivering like chaff, as he pressed against the glass wall of the fish tank, peering outside with his hands on the glass. "Could it be that this place is the legendary abode of the terrifying, mysterious Level Nine entity that destroyed the Chinese pantheon back then?"
