Chapter 799: Universe Rose Tree, Mother River Seedling

On the other side.

Across the entire planet, a colossal, multi-colored phantom of a giant, having absorbed endless incense, was gradually shrinking and finally descending.

“Quick, let’s go!”

Ji Yi, with her maid, got on a motorcycle and sped away, extremely excited.

How could she not know what was happening?

She knew this maid must possess the divine bloodline of "Ji," far beyond her imagination, and was a divine servant who had always followed Ji. And for such a person to actually...

Since such a tremendous opportunity had fallen into her hands, how could she let it go?

Her mind was filled with thoughts of the old man who had watched her grow up since childhood.

That was Ji!

The Moon God... Ji!

Even now, she still found it hard to believe.

But now was not the time to think about such things. She had to act quickly; not seizing this opportunity would be truly foolish.

“Let’s hide,” Ji Yi said, drifting rapidly on her motorcycle.

But how could they escape without a trace?

Ji Shang soon received the news.

Someone nearby, clearly displeased, asked, “Should we stop her? That kind of person lacks the talent. For someone with a true god’s bloodline to accompany her growth and become her protector is simply a waste of a precious resource.”

To grow, cultivate, and become strong, a protector is essential.

After all, those with immortal bloodlines grow stronger in pairs; on the path of growth, people must protect each other. And if one’s companion is very powerful, then one will have a terrifying first-mover advantage.

And who was that person?

It was the personal maid of the Moon God, Ji!

That was someone possessing the divine bloodline of the ‘Ji’ clan, a massive elemental life form, a human-shaped heart. How could they not be jealous?

Everyone wanted such a powerful opportunity, to have such a companion on their path.

“No need to stop her. Let her go,”

Ji Shang took a deep breath.

He also had his own fixed companion, so he wasn't as envious as others. He merely said:

“You say she’s unworthy, that her talent is lacking... But that’s just from our perspective. In the eyes of the Moon God Ji, we are merely a colony of ants. We all look pretty much the same size... So-called geniuses are just slightly larger ants. Everyone is almost equal.”

The people in the council fell into complete silence.

Indeed, perhaps in the eyes of such a great being, they were all just a generation of ants, more or less the same height, short, fat, or thin.

It was hard to imagine who could truly transcend this.

After all, it wasn’t something that could be achieved merely by having talent or ability.

Yuan Qinghua felt this deeply, saying, “Take Subaru, for instance; his talent was very poor, yet he still reached the top. Then there’s Sheng Lin’s daughter; her talent was mediocre, yet she was chosen. And Du Xue... though her talent was strong, she couldn’t be called a born genius. Lastly, consider the top individual, Medusa; her talent was far inferior to her contemporaries, yet she somehow reached the peak.”

The most powerful force in this world wasn’t talent, wisdom, or brilliance... but destiny.

The Three Pillar Gods, having mastered destiny, controlled everything.

And currently, the destiny of these individuals was random, but it still depended on their performance in their era. Nothing was absolutely fixed or rigid.

In many eras, those who reached the top were often not the ones with the strongest talent.

That year.

The Solar System Incense Array was established.

The ancient Moon God Ji revealed himself as a true god, and the deity delivered an oracle to the mortals on Earth.

No one knew what ancient deity’s teachings those who held the world’s core power had truly heard; they simply began to strive rapidly for self-improvement.

Before, they had been very proud and arrogant, but now they became humble, bravely forging ahead, and the era advanced completely.

One by one, geniuses emerged.

Some said: they obtained new civilization steles, because from then on, the iteration and updating of the era were extremely rapid, and various new technologies emerged endlessly.

Others said: they learned a terrifying truth about the world, that external enemies were invading, and the world was about to face unknown terrifying trials.

Regardless, this period of history was buried deep within the annals.

In later generations, many historians investigated what Ji had actually said at the time, but it remained a thought-provoking historical enigma with various theories.

The following year, the Mother River Mirror emitted a beam of light.

“Did it succeed? We distorted the upper limit of the speed of light!”

“Is this the Mother River?”

“My god, we will remember this great era!”

A colossal, snowy-white beam of light shot straight out from above the galaxy’s sky, exceeding the speed of light by 1.4 times. The entire galaxy cheered wildly, as proud as humanity’s first moon landing.

Whoosh—

From a distance, the entire Solar System appeared like the base flowerpot of a gigantic cosmic rose tree, with a snowy-white seedling taking root and sprouting.

“The source of the Mother River, the river, is already surging!”

“It’s like a spring, gushing forth towards the parched cosmic land. Countless civilizations in the distant future will transform into swimming fish, moving within this Mother River.”

“The Cosmic Rose Tree, the Mother River seedling...”

Ji Shang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

Behind him, various Celestial Emperors witnessed this historic moment.

Meanwhile, the Sun God Asa remained in slumber. No one knew the location of his cultivation sleep, nor would he appear unless he broke through to become a deity.

This year was referred to in ancient history as: Year One of the Mother River.

The great Mother River True Source Civilization System, the Cosmic Rose Tree, the World Mother River—a grand and vast cosmic transcendent civilization had fully begun.

“The Mother River, then?”

On Earth, Xu Zhi had returned to his orchard, putting down his luggage, various pieces of furniture, and bags in the living room, as he watched this historic scene unfold.

There was no other way; after a trip out, the housekeeper who had been with him for a long time was gone. For now, he had to do everything himself.

“Intelligent Sub-Brain, release the permissions for the Zerg isolation range.”

Xu Zhi suddenly said, looking at the Mother River.

If it didn't release the shielded land area, then the Mother River System would be pure nonsense.

“Permissions released.”

The mechanical voice of the sub-brain responded.

Xu Zhi tidied up a bit and said again, “From now on, the covered land area will change at any time, with the condition being—wherever the light beam reaches.”

“Confirmed,” the mechanical voice reappeared.

“This way, it truly becomes an empire where the sun never sets; wherever the sunlight reaches, that is its territory.”

Xu Zhi looked at that civilization and smiled, “Originally, I was thinking that as the Zerg population grew, the next step should be to cultivate more land... After all, there’s only one power plant, which isn’t nearly enough. Next, should I expand to another ‘Solar System’ near this galaxy? But how would I explain it?”

Xu Zhi smiled somewhat helplessly; this was a huge problem.

Before, he had felt overwhelmed and found it difficult to manage. How could he explain the world suddenly becoming larger? That a neighboring solar system could suddenly be visited?

After all, from the very beginning, he had intended to directly encompass seven or eight such galactic land areas.

To cultivate them thoroughly!

But his power was very low, so he naturally couldn't do it.

The Zerg sub-brain, which could allow the Zerg swarm to enter "high-dimensional thought-space," had a limited capacity for the number of Zerg it could bring in. As the Zerg sub-brain functioned as the racial Pillar God, the stronger the Zerg collective became, the more individuals it could bring.

However, now, with the explosion of life across the entire galaxy, the Zerg sub-brain had also grown stronger, and it could now begin expanding the land.

He looked at the gigantic mother tree.

“But now, it’s being handed to me on a silver platter... My continuous expansion of land and incorporation of new planets in the future will be entirely logical... I even feel that the expansion speed, using a light beam, is just right, branching out and sprouting...”

“The Mother River System is truly an astonishingly perfect systemic civilization,” Xu Zhi praised, feeling that the growth of this tree’s seedling perfectly aligned with his intentions.

The perfect interstellar cultivation and expansion model—the Mother River.

This perfectly matched his vision of ‘greening the galaxy’. After all, planting a tree to green an entire planetary galaxy had a similar ingenious effect.

It was far more perfect than his previous Mercury greening and cultivation power station.

Online, many netizens were already in an uproar.

The matters Yuan Qinghua spoke of were too impactful.

It was surprising from the very beginning, when Ji Shang met the ancient deity and his first question revealed that the rose tree on the lunar stele was in fact the Mother River.

“So that’s it, the Mother River system was Ji’s original civilization system! It existed as early as ancient times, even an opposing system to the Buddhist and Daoist systems, having once waged war against us...”

“This system, capable of contending with Buddhism and Daoism, is truly terrifying!”

“Ji, the founder of this Mother River civilization, is truly astonishing! In our words, he is equivalent to the great Ninth-Tier Chinese being who pioneered Buddhism and Daoism.”

“But we’re not bad either. Based on his elemental racial characteristics, we revived this ancient system, treading the path he once walked in ancient times—the Mother River System has been successfully revived, and he must be very shocked.”
