Despite their bravado, they remained strategically cautious of their enemy. Anyone daring to make such arrogant claims with only one arm certainly warranted careful vigilance.
Inside their bodies, the players fully activated, operating frantically.
"Quickly gather information for analysis!"
"Exactly! This entity had always concealed its presence, making it impossible for us to investigate. Now, it has finally revealed its combat power... but is it truly this formidable using only one arm?"
All players swiftly moved, like extremely precise gears.
As veteran players, they naturally understood the importance of faction collaboration. Even online games had strategy teams dedicated to figuring out how to defeat dungeon bosses, so how could they, given their meticulous nature, not have a similar group?
Indeed.
While their combat command might not rival that of monstrous geniuses like Emperor Qi or Lord Youshan, their collective effort, with everyone contributing ideas, was still enough to stand against an Emperor Qi.
"The chaotic aura resembles the Cthulhu-like evil god we encountered before, yet it's distinctly different... clearly not on the same level! What we created previously was an inferior product, less than a fifth of its potential completion. What stands before us now is a true, fully developed ultimate being!"
"This is terrifying!"
A player exclaimed in astonishment, "As expected, our previous evolutionary path was correct! It bears some resemblance to the demon god race—an iron-based life form comparable to Reinmansgar—from over 200,000 years ago!"
"Even the names are similar—evil gods, demon gods... a chaotic, malevolent, unspeakable aura! (Excited)"
"That's for sure. These composite entities naturally adopt such malevolent forms... Look at the Three Pillar Gods; they're quite chaotic too, with a thousand faces for a thousand people... demonstrating the perfection of Buddhism and Taoism, reflecting the myriad forms of sentient beings!"
Ultimately, they were thrilled.
What did this signify?
It meant their vision and talent were exceptionally high!
They actually shared some characteristics with ancient ultimate cosmic races from over 200,000 years ago... though their level of maturity was nowhere near that of those ancient cosmic races.
Indeed, in the Creator God's courtyard, with sufficient talent, they could evolve into any ancient, ultimate, powerful cosmic race!
Although the evil gods they had previously evolved were crude, they were already aligned with the correct path...
This meant they were highly likely to evolve powerful and rare "iron-based life forms" similar to Reinmansgar in the future, as well as various other formidable cosmic races.
"Heh heh... just as I thought. Only civilizations that are aware of the Creator God... are truly worth noting!" A player remarked casually, "No matter how powerful a life form, it cannot escape its origin."
"The Creator God, you say?"
The large octopus nearby wore an expression of yearning.
A player chuckled, observing the large octopus's naive, yearning expression, and told it, "You don't understand that all life across the vast universe and myriad realms... simply emerged from the dimensional courtyard. Everyone is like that..."
"How could that be?"
The large octopus's mind reeled.
The brain-worm deity beside it also perked up its ears.
Civilizations that habitually existed within high-dimensional cosmic spacetime were indeed terrifyingly potent... If this secret were to be revealed, the entire universe would likely refuse to believe it.
The initial reaction would undoubtedly be one of absurdity and ridicule!
Yet, some things do not cease to exist simply because one chooses not to believe in them.
Could ancient people, living in antiquity, comprehend the electrical age?
Nor could they understand why lumps of iron could fly through the sky.
Even if you told the wisest sages of that era that these phenomena followed discernible laws and were not figments of imagination, their immediate reaction would still be one of absurdity and nonsense.
These are all limitations inherent to a given era.
What they were encountering now was also a limitation, which could be termed a "civilization dimensional barrier."
"It's a courtyard of high-dimensional concepts, the materialization of the origin of all life in the universe! It appears that life on various planets reproduces naturally, but in reality, they all manifest within the Creator God's courtyard... evolving and being adjusted there... There is a transcendent dimensional entity, sitting in the courtyard, eating an apple and observing their evolution..."
"An apple...???"
"That's a legendary scene. Only ultimate beings who have touched the universe, strong enough to reach the very 'roots' of existence, great entities who have arrived at the pinnacle of cultivation... might be able to witness it."
"The roots of existence? Such a scene must be breathtakingly beautiful."
"Naturally... In fact, it makes sense if you think about it. How do exceptionally powerful, heaven-defying races simply emerge on certain planets out of thin air? From a probabilistic standpoint, it's a one in a quadrillion chance for natural evolution... The reason they appear is undoubtedly due to unseen laws and predetermined factors, forming a kind of 'heavenly destiny' that allows such powerful races and civilizations to arise..."
"Heavenly destiny?" The brain-worm deity felt it somewhat understood, yet struggled to fully grasp it. It was a highly idealistic, metaphysical, and vaguely logical concept.
"Once, we too were part of that heavenly destiny..."
The moment these words were uttered, the brain-worm deity's mind was profoundly shaken.
What did it mean, "they too were... part of that heavenly destiny"? The phrase was utterly baffling, and further contemplation evoked a chilling sense of dread, hinting at an unfathomable depth.
The conversation conveyed a sense of "I was once a lamp beneath the Buddha, and then I did something..." before abruptly stopping. This veiled mystery, reminiscent of a pipa player half-hiding her face, was truly awe-inspiring.
"Even the entire universe is merely some transcendent concept of that entity..." the player continued.
The large octopus, listening with a shocked expression, thought to itself, "So that's it. It's likely that my ancient ancestor of the Byrd Octopus race also originated from the Creator God's dimensional courtyard... Otherwise, for our power to have evolved naturally would indeed be an extremely low probability event..."
The brain-worm deity fell silent for a moment, then murmured, "I see. It's likely my brain-worm ancestors also originated from there..."
Listening to the secrets these entities within her were discussing, Caroline too felt a profound shock. "Could it be that our Demonic Core race also originated from that legendary dimensional courtyard?"
Caroline knew that these mysterious entities were privy to many confidential matters.
Yet, such profound secrets—even though she had previously heard the Super Ancient Gods speak of the Creator God and had personally witnessed such beings manifest—still left her deeply unsettled.
As they spoke, Meng Mei stood nearby, her face darkening.
How had these people strayed so far from the topic as their conversation progressed?
Weren't they supposed to be discussing and researching this mysterious Multiverse Demon God?
Even Caroline had been sidetracked by them, listening with keen interest.
"These people are ridiculous..."
"Ahem, ahem," Meng Mei quickly cleared her throat. "Aren't we supposed to be discussing the war at hand?"
The others snapped back to attention and resumed their discussion:
"However, a single individual representing an entire universe means this creature is truly formidable... This demon god is indeed worthy of being the supreme entity of the multiverse. Since everyone else develops martial arts based on her genes, we must be cautious... This single arm, I fear, might be capable of using martial arts!"
"Yes, this arm is incredibly powerful!"
Yet, some also grew puzzled.
"True, we don't know why this entity is using a low-level cloned arm to manifest a quantum combat body, which surely isn't as strong as its original form... Is it looking down on us? Does it think we're utterly weak?"
The moment these words were uttered, everyone's vigilance heightened dramatically.
What martial arts could it wield?
*Carefree Roaming*?
*Essence Energy*? The *Delusional Demon Splitting Art*?
A string of terrifying names flashed through their minds. If it truly mastered all of them, then this single arm might prove exceptionally formidable.
