Six Paths of Reincarnation.
A group of Asura players were working in an ancient-style city within the Beast Path.
In the conference room of the central city, rows of chairs were occupied by several top players responsible for management and liaison. They had just received a message, a reply from Balloon Fish on the Lava Land.
"Big Boss Balloon Fish said he already knows, as he's probably been watching the live stream in secret. He's currently informing the Three Pillar Gods, who are furious about being completely unaware of this whole situation! We scoundrels created an illegitimate child for him... and now they've started a massive relocation of people..."
"Hey, why are we calling ourselves scoundrels?"
"I think it's pretty scoundrel-like. We just casually made a child for someone; isn't that like 'Old Wang next door'? It's quite underhanded."
Although Balloon Fish was the weakest among these big bosses, it was undeniable that he was still very strong, certainly stronger than them.
He was a traditional player who entered through the official evolution sandbox, a deity with an 8,000-year lifespan... not like them, players who entered the game with "handicapped" lifespans.
In reality, Balloon Fish was quite a serious and diligent person, but he had faced too many societal setbacks and had never had his day of rising to prominence.
"It's good that he's been informed," someone nodded.
"However, this guy also said he wants to spend a lot of money with us... he wants our help to evolve a species... it seems to be some kind of buffer gel? Rubber plant? Or a similar creature? I don't quite understand." Another person frowned. "He said he'd give us the evolution blueprints after some more research, and he wants us to invite some top studio members to help with the evolution, it's just..."
"Just what? Having a custom creature order, and a big boss spending money with us, providing financial support, isn't that great?" someone nearby asked. "Besides, the blueprints for a species carefully evolved by a biological expert with such talent for creature evolution are definitely a huge wealth of knowledge."
The person next to him looked strange. "The species itself isn't the problem... it's just that this guy said he'd become stronger just by spending money now! He's full of high spirits, as if thousands of years of grievances are finally pouring out... He declared that he's about to become the second strongest combat-type player in the entire player community, second only to Pan Xuexian! He even boasted: when he reaches full mastery, he can fight Pan Xuexian to a draw, and while he wouldn't dare claim victory, he'd at least be undefeated!"
Everyone's faces stiffened slightly; they were completely taken aback.
Was he daydreaming?
Pan Xuexian, that muscular monster, was incredibly strong. Her combat talent was undeniably outstanding, and she was diligent, training her muscles maniacally every day... she could already rival even second-tier Nine-Path deities like Ermin.
And this guy!?
It was undeniable that those who could enter the Myriad Worlds through official channels were naturally big bosses with exceptional knowledge and talent, far beyond what they could achieve. Balloon Fish was no exception.
However, research and actual combat were on completely different levels.
The combat skills of these big bosses were... well, laughable.
Of course, one shouldn't be so dismissive. For example, Cute Girl had great martial combat talent, but her talent was in researching escape routes.
Meanwhile, the newly opened Asura Path, the Twelve Demon Gods, represented the strongest combat geniuses filtered from players through PVP fighting competitions... In terms of level, their combat talent was equivalent to the research talent of Cute Girl and others.
It's just that in this era, combat geniuses weren't the most important... knowledge was the ultimate power, so their respective treatments weren't on the same level.
Intellectuals were naturally more powerful than mere fighters.
"Has this guy, a big boss in terms of knowledge, changed careers?"
Everyone started discussing animatedly, finding it incredibly unbelievable. They felt utterly shocked, as if this was even more exaggerated than the major event that had just occurred.
"Undefeated against Pan Xuexian? Are you sure it's not Cute Girl's kind of 'undefeated'?"
"No, he said it's the kind where he'd fight head-on, a passionate, fist-to-fist, bloody battle! Very long-lasting!"
As soon as he said this, everyone exchanged glances.
Balloon Fish, the villain who had massacred billions upon billions of Isharans in their era, the cruelest tyrant in history—had his combat talent suddenly awakened? Had he suddenly turned into a muscular brute?
"This is too strange. This guy has always played tricks, and now he wants us to help him evolve plant-based elastic resin, to play with silicone..."
As soon as they recalled what was just said, they instantly felt something was completely off. "With that, he can become a truly 'durable' combat-type expert? I'm afraid he's talking about *that* kind of 'expert,' isn't he?"
Everyone: !!!
They looked at each other with shocked expressions, as if terrified themselves. Even with their high tolerance, they suddenly felt a sense of dread.
"Looking forward to Big Boss's new product."
"It looks like he's going to fully develop 'Umbrella Corporation' products, then?"
"We still can't fathom Big Boss's intentions. Who knows what kind of mountain of corpses and sea of blood this will lead to this time, how many billions of lives will perish?"
"Can't afford to provoke him, can't afford to provoke him."
Everyone talked over each other, discussing endlessly. Unable to figure it out, they eventually gave up thinking about it.
"The Three Pillar Gods have been informed. What about Di Zun?"
"Cat Jump is already informing him. However, he also bribed Meng Po with a few more 'Overbearing CEO Falls in Love With Me' novels... It's tough for him though, how fast do these deities read? The market's bad; there are no good books left for Meng Po to read, and that kid is really struggling."
Meanwhile, in the Hall of Reincarnation.
Meng Po, Black and White Impermanence, and others were standing respectfully below.
"So that's how it is."
Di Zun, wearing a black dragon robe and an imperial crown, spoke calmly: "No wonder I disappeared for some time; I actually went to that place. There truly exists such a terrifying being in this world... one who can defeat me within the same realm."
"Such a being truly exists? Does that mean, Your Majesty, you knew about this before?" Meng Po's mind reeled.
She had thought that His Majesty, with his five genes and ability to adjust them at any time, was already the strongest in their realm. She hadn't imagined that the universe was so vast, with "heavens beyond heavens."
"Of course I knew," Di Zun smiled and merely said, "After all, there was some past connection."
A past connection?
As soon as he spoke, not only Meng Po and the others were astonished, but Cat Jump also felt a secret thrill.
This was likely another significant piece of information. If it were shared with netizens outside, they would surely be able to decipher a lot... It seemed Di Zun indeed possessed much information about the outside world and about his enemies.
However, just as Cat Jump was discreetly spreading the news, Di Zun stood up and said, very simply and directly, "So, the Cosmic Garden? Renimansga... I do need to make a trip there. After all, I also have some connection with that Demon God."
*Whoosh.*
Di Zun, reaching through the void, summoned the mysterious, dark reincarnation portal, sliced open a spatial teleportation array, and stepped into it.
