Chapter 931: People of the Era

Chapter

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world.

While it wasn't as lively, Emperor Qi's brows furrowed slightly. He sensed an immense dread emanating from it; the opponent smiled, awaiting their response. Goosebumps rose on his skin. "This is astonishing..."

His knowledge and talent were beyond doubt. He could clearly perceive the energy pathways of this arm, grasping its horrifying power more than anyone else!

"The Three Pillar Gods are also aggregated beings... but they aggregate through the masses, not by cultivating step by step themselves. Each of their cells has varying cultivation levels, some superior, some inferior, like a Ninth-Tier being formed from a pile of flesh... Yet, this creature gives a sense of completeness, as if every part is its own... Could it be that it cultivated every part of itself, step by step!?"

A shiver ran down his spine. Cultivating step by step like that would take an unimaginable amount of time. He recalled the saying: "One hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred worlds constitute one cosmic epoch..." This creature had cultivated itself into an entire universe! Could such an exaggerated being truly exist in this world? He had thought the Martial Arts Alliance Leader was ruthless enough, but who knew there was someone even crazier, mad to an unimaginable extent!

"Now that everything has been said, what do you intend to do?" Little Shiji said with a smile, embracing her sister's arm.

Although parts of her sister's body were still at the Heavenly Emperor level, this was a complete arm of her sister, meaning the entire arm was at the High God level, having entered the Ninth Tier path... It was cloned from the strongest part of her sister's tissue. At the time, the Tier Empire had spent an immeasurable amount of their civilization's accumulated resources to clone this arm.

"Indeed, if we cannot even defeat one arm... then we are truly weak. Even if we are killed, our Supreme Gods will not say anything." Caroline finally smiled, refusing to show weakness, and bowed respectfully, "Since Your Excellency wishes to impart wisdom, we shall comply..."

Shiji smiled and said nonchalantly, "Give it your all. If you are beaten to death, you have no one to blame."

Emperor Qi, Machine Pillar God, and the others' expressions darkened. They were already in battle, and this sudden command for them to all attack at once was undeniably overbearing... However, within the opponent's territory, it was indeed logical and reasonable. The opponent's meaning was clear: "You may cause a stir at my doorstep... out of respect for your elders. But if you cannot even withstand a casual arm, then it's laughable..." What face would they have left to resist their enemies? To resist the legendary opponents of the Ultra-Ancient Gods? The Ultra-Ancient Gods could not protect them forever.

At this moment, Emperor Tier, whose eyes shone brightly from afar, suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "The existence of the Cosmic Garden has finally taken action to drive away these invaders from high-dimensional civilizations! We are saved!"

"Yes, we are saved!""Thank you, Emperor Renimansga, and thank you, Cosmic Garden!""Thank you, ancient existence!"

The surrounding ministers cheered, filled with the joy of surviving a catastrophe. Television stations throughout the empire had already begun broadcasting news on countless planets to dispel the fear in the hearts of all citizens, serving as a reassurance.

"We have not been abandoned!""We have not been abandoned!"

Countless people cheered upon seeing this, and on one bustling street on a planet, many cried tears of joy and embraced each other.

But the next second, Little Shiji looked towards the Tier Empire and smiled, "Don't misunderstand. Father isn't trying to save you; he just found some little bugs outside rather noisy... If you hadn't made a sound, I might have forgotten you existed. So, you must join in as well. If you cannot even defeat one arm, then there's no need for you to exist... It's better to get new pets."

As soon as these words fell, the smiles on the faces of all humans on the entire planet completely froze, stiffening on their cheeks...

"Us?""We..."

Countless people felt despair. Pets... Yes, they were merely pets from an ancient era. Who would truly care about them? Perhaps in distant times, there might have been some affection, but after more than a hundred thousand years, everything had changed drastically; they were now merely the descendants of those small pets... At the same time, their minds buzzed with despair and endless regret. They wished they hadn't cheered and celebrated, drawing attention to themselves... The rise and fall of civilizations were merely a small thought.

"It's just too overbearing," Mr. Cat said with a laugh. "However, in the eyes of such beings, it's merely a trivial matter, something they can do with a blink of an eye... Like clearing away a few ants from their doorstep to have a quiet nap... That's probably the feeling. And the civilizations outside the garden... they are just those ridiculous and tiny ants."

"Indeed, the universe is vast, and how many myriad worlds are there?" the Demon Lord said, his voice hoarse and cold. "To such great cosmic Daoists, they are like anglers by a river, and civilizations are like the countless, swimming carp in that river... ephemerally ridiculous."

At this point, Little Shiji turned to face the Demon Lord and Mr. Cat, saying, "My sister said the same about you two."

Mr. Cat's expression stiffened slightly. The Demon Lord, who had just stepped forward, showed a drastic change in expression, and even Zhou Meng, who had transformed into Emperor Qi, also changed countenance. They had vaguely guessed that the Demon God, with her ruthless personality, intended to make an example of them too! This was because they had been slow to merge. If they remained stagnant for a lifetime, there would be no need for them to exist... Not only would the Tier civilization outside be purged, but they themselves would also undergo a major purge.

Because... They had become a barrier of the old era. Unable to break through, yet still dominating the era, they would suppress and hinder the birth of new geniuses in the multiverse, thus becoming a decaying existence of the old era... If they couldn't break through and stood in the way of those who came after, then their existence was no longer necessary...

"Is that so?" The Martial Arts Alliance Leader, wearing a white cape of justice, suddenly became incredibly calm. "So that's how it is... I've always cultivated martial arts, never seeking trouble, but have I gradually become the very person I once disliked the most?"

"It seems that the four of us can no longer remain stagnant. We've dominated the martial world for too long, unable to break through, yet blocking the path of those who follow," Mr. Cat also smiled, speaking softly. "Lord Multiverse Demon God... intends to purge us, just as she purges others!"

"Come at me, all of you." Little Shiji, holding the arm, gave it a gentle toss.
