Chapter 860: Divine Forbidden Medicine

Hearing this, Xu Zhi couldn't help but give a thumbs-up and laugh, "Boss, you're truly an honest man!"

"That's right, we must have reverence for life," the boss said, tidying dishes in his shop. "Although these protesters are being manipulated by unseen forces to create public opinion and target the imperial family, damaging their public trust, at least their intentions are good."

"See? Isn't this good?"

He turned and pointed to the fervent shouts from the street, where the procession continued with spirited declarations:

"Protect the gods, start with me.""No buying, no selling, no harm!""High-level groups are extensively hunting native gods for profit, leading to their near extinction! We should protect them!"

"Yes, indeed good," Xu Zhi chuckled, momentarily lost in thought. He found the gods here to be utterly pathetic! It was like protecting endangered whales, refusing whaling ships and poachers, and rejecting various interest groups that claim to research these beings but actually exploit them for huge profits... This was truly something else.

It wasn't that the supernatural side was weak; it was their genes that were not strong. Their corresponding cultivation techniques were immature, very primitive, and couldn't develop. Cultivators with incomplete genetic techniques definitely couldn't compete with the tech side, which had no genetic threshold.

Xu Zhi also felt the boss was extraordinary, hitting the nail on the head, and couldn't help but ask, "So, which do you think is better: living in a supernatural civilization or a technological one? Over there, if you have good aptitude and enough fortuitous encounters, you can break through class barriers. Even people from the lowest strata can live for thousands of years, perhaps even becoming world-class elites... Isn't that what's happening now? They claim to recruit outer disciples, and with good aptitude, one might ascend to power overnight. It seems the entire imperial civilization is being reshuffled right before our eyes!"

The boss thought for a moment and said, "Definitely here. Geniuses are one in ten thousand. For us ordinary people, life in our technological society is certainly better. Even the lowest classes have water and electricity, with plumbing and power grids. In those native civilizations, I hear only nobles can afford magical items and live well.... Moreover, gods are strong, but can even the strongest god withstand technology? Can they withstand a planet-destroying cannon? Or natural weapons? No matter how strong an individual, they cannot withstand the bombardment of a civilization's grand weapons!"

Xu Zhi found it very interesting and didn't dispute it. He stood up and smiled, "The world is about to descend into chaos. If you encounter any difficulties, you can try taking this."

"What is this?"

The boss took a syringe containing a mysterious reagent. Within it, an unimaginable power seemed to stir, vaguely revealing an egg-shaped pixelated creature. He looked at the mysterious young man in front of him in surprise. "This stuff feels terrifying."

"The reagent in the syringe is a special embryonic energy life form. If you take it, you can gain the power to protect yourself..." Xu Zhi smiled. "It's just a casual gift... Times are getting tough. If you encounter any difficulties, you can try using it."

The boss was immediately startled, realizing he had met a benefactor. He quickly bowed deeply, prostrating himself, his hands on the ground above his head. "Thank you, sir."

Xu Zhi shook his head and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, the players' eyeballs, hidden within their sockets, had integrated into the opponent's supernatural world as a giant octopus, receiving esteemed treatment from the city-state king.

"It's time to play our trump card.""Yes, that divine forbidden drug! The super reagent!""A world-shaking trump card! No one would expect us to have such a heaven-defying backup plan!" a player said.

"Yes, I've been preparing for this battle for a long time!" The players' expressions were extremely solemn.

Caroline, however, became slightly curious. These guys' methods were mysterious and "cautious," always full of unconventional tactics that shocked everyone. Previously, they had created an eyeball and used its mirrored surface to project light and shadow, attacking the Three Pillar Gods, Emperor Qi, and others. Their strategies were formidable. So now... Did they have a similar trump card?

Caroline looked at them curiously and asked, "Can you tell me what it is?"

At this moment, Bai Xiaojun, not daring to be presumptuous, answered with a smile, "It's a very powerful law-based method. Of course, you could do it at any time too."

"I can do it too?" Caroline paused slightly.

"Yes...""That is, giving birth!"

The moment Caroline heard this, her face darkened. At that moment, she inexplicably thought of a certain book, *Father's Love is Like Water*, and her face somehow flushed with a faint blush.

The players, naturally unaware of her thoughts, confidently chuckled: "Yes, as an Eighth-Tier being, your descendants can enter a low-flow high-dimensional space-time and possess divine authority... We couldn't sense it before because we all reside in high-dimensional space-time, so the bloodline descendants of Eighth-Tier gods were negligible to us. But what about the descendants of Ninth-Tier beings? Ninth-Tier descendants inherit part of their law-based organs, are born with some limbs, and their soul and flesh are unified..."

Caroline was immediately surprised, vaguely realizing what they intended to do.

"Yes, the higher the tier of a cosmic being, the harder it is to reproduce, and even Ninth-Tier beings are weakened for a long time after... But before we left," a player said, "we had the Super Saiyan God give birth to a Ninth-Tier offspring by herself!"

They, naturally, had a backup plan. After all, the Super Saiyan lineage was raised by Bai Xiaojun and his group, so their relationship was naturally very good. Although it was the most disabled Ninth-Tier, it was still Ninth-Tier! They weren't the "weak Ninth-Tiers" like Caroline and others, who hadn't yet broken through to devour energy. They were the genuinely breakthrough Ninth-Tiers in this entire world.

"We produced three in total!""These Ninth-Tier world descendant life forms have been sealed within this test tube!"

Bai Xiaojun's words slightly surprised Caroline. Bai Xiaojun then took out a box and carefully opened it.

"Look how exquisite this box is! We even included a description in the native language of this planet, ensuring it looks impressive. It's perfect for educating those natives that their gods are just country bumpkins, the trashy kind... This is our moment to show off!"

*Click!*

The box opened, revealing only two test tubes inside. Instantly, the players were stunned. They looked around at each other, faces full of suspicion. "There's an inside man! Who stole it?! Who stole the ultimate bragging tool?!!"

After Xu Zhi left, the shop remained open for half the afternoon before the plump boss closed it. As evening approached, his daughter, Dona, returned home.

The plump boss frowned, "You went to the martial arts hall to train again?"

Dona was a strong, tall girl with dark skin. She walked silently into the house, bypassing the living room without a word.

The plump boss angrily scolded, "I've told you before, that stuff is useless! No matter how strong an individual is, they can't beat cannons or satellite weapons! Can a human beat a spaceship? Those martial arts halls are scams run by capitalists! They specifically trick you young people into thinking it's cool! What is capital? It's a bloodsucker. Their teachers are all high-ranking imperial knights and warriors they captured from over there... If they were truly strong, could they have been captured and used as tools by capitalists to open martial arts halls for you to train in?"

The plump boss yelled, "Besides, look at you after practicing martial arts! You weigh hundreds of kilograms, your muscles are as hard as iron! Who's going to want to marry you? And martial arts training costs too much! We're already out of money at home!"

*Knock, knock, knock!* He pounded on the door. "Why are you so rebellious! Look, there was just a parade on the street demanding protection for the gods! If they were really powerful, would they be in such a state?" He repeated his earlier words to the young customer to his daughter, but there was no response from inside.

After a while, Dona's voice came from inside: "My teacher says I'm very talented, one in a million, and that in their world, I could definitely become a nation-guarding knight! I'm already the chief disciple of the martial arts hall, and I want to participate in that outer-door trial!"

"You? You? You might be one in a million in talent, but how many people are on a planet? They're looking for one in tens of billions, and their entry is monopolized. Where would you get a spot? We're just ordinary people. We don't have that kind of ability. Just live your life normally," the plump boss pleaded earnestly.

Silence returned from inside. The plump boss was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered the mysterious reagent from that earlier customer. Perhaps, this was the only way to help his daughter realize her dream.

"Alright, I won't stop you then. I have something here..." The plump boss still knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door opened. In the interlayer, they found an instruction sheet written in the supernatural native language from the adjacent world. The plump boss didn't recognize it.

"I recognize it," Dona said excitedly. "I learned this language from a captured teacher." This might be a mysterious opportunity from that ancient native planet.

She read it carefully. It stated that this was a special terrifying world potion. After consumption, one could increase physical potential and gain a powerful physique. It also stated that one could give birth to a terrifying offspring, born sacred, possessing innate high-dimensional space-time abilities, innate law-based quantum organs, and an innate, endless inheritance of paternal knowledge...

"Th-th-this!!!" Seeing this, Dona's voice trembled. Holding the test tube, she was utterly stunned, feeling as if the sky was falling. But Dona's face immediately turned pale. For girls, giving birth naturally instilled a certain fear, let alone for a maiden who had never experienced intimacy. She stared fixedly at the reagent, gritted her teeth, and swallowed the liquid within.

The next moment, Dona felt her vision go black and completely lost consciousness, as if her entire being was plunging into an endless abyss. She didn't know how much time had passed. She vaguely saw within her lower abdomen what seemed like a golden, finger-sized mountain growing, allowing her to see an infant inside her belly. This mountain was extremely sacred, radiating dazzling light. Upon it were inscribed the six-character true mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum. The characters were mysterious, yet she vaguely understood their meaning.

Vaguely, beneath the brilliant golden mountain was a mysterious, pixel-like head, an embryo, yet born sacred and capable of speaking from birth: "Back then, that Western Pillar God, Tathagata, rounded up my father and others. Mother, one day, we must break through the firmament, wipe out all those gods and buddhas in the sky, so that the sky can no longer obscure our sight, and the earth can no longer bury our hearts. We were born free. Who dares to sit high above us?! We must get revenge on Tathagata!!"

Dona: "......"

Her mind went blank. She stumbled back three steps, a cascade of cold sweat running down her spine. This shocking ancient mythical language was simply unimaginable.
