Chapter 936: Fictitious Reasoning

“Does your family, the one with your sister, have ancient ties?” Ishiji couldn't help but ask. “You’re incredibly powerful; this is my first time seeing a direct descendant of an ancient ultimate cosmic being.”

This was incredibly rare, almost terrifying!

This was the descendant of a legendary ultimate cosmic entity...

Her Iron Base lineage did possess a tenth-tier inheritance, but their bloodline had long been diluted over generations.

For example, if your ancestors were ninth-tier Taoist cultivators but your parents only reached the eighth-tier divine realm, then you would be considered a descendant of a divine being... the power gradually weakening with each generation.

“Indeed, our two sides do share some history, with ties to your father, Reinimansgar, and the Evil God lineage.”

Di Zun calmly observed the earth-shattering battle in the distance. “However, in this era, it’s almost like a reintroduction. You’ve been dormant for many years; we thought you had long turned to dust in the annals of history. I never expected you to resurface... and even give birth to a daughter.”

Ishiji was momentarily stunned. She had, of course, heard about the history of the Cosmic Garden. She spoke clearly, “It’s true we’ve resurfaced... but it took over a hundred thousand years just to recover our peak strength. Meanwhile, you seem to be heading towards decline and demise... Are you facing an unbelievable opponent? Are you on the verge of death?”

At this point, the others had already reacted.

Di Zun represented the Super Ancient Gods.

Ishiji and the Evil God, on the other hand, represented Reinimansgar.

The two sides were currently conversing, negotiating, or perhaps even clashing.

After all, a great battle was still raging in the distance.

Perhaps they were on the verge of taking action again; it was impossible to tell!

The atmosphere had become somewhat tense.

“Are we doomed to perish? Indeed, no one knows... whether future civilizations will be utterly destroyed or undergo a transformative rebirth... it’s still uncertain.” Di Zun said calmly, “We are still striving, and if you look afar... a new generation is steadily rising, taking over the authority and torch of the old era.”

Their light shone brightly.

He looked at the distant battle, his hands clasped behind his back, and said calmly, “Perhaps they can withstand the great enemy of the future.”

“True, they are incredibly powerful, having almost reached the pinnacle of perfection within their realm... They are arguably unparalleled throughout history. However, their combat strength is only comparable to one of my sister’s arms,” Little Ishiji also chuckled.

After all, among the myriad realms, true recognition is naturally based on combat strength. If you are too weak, you don't even qualify for communication.

Before their eyes, the forces equivalent to the Super Ancient Gods had risen again, engaging Reinimansgar's side in battles and wars among the younger generation, seemingly to test their strength.

Upon hearing this, all the players sensed a deeply hidden ancient history unfolding.

In reality, the history of the Evil God clan could span back at least over 200,000 years, to the era of Reinimansgar's Cosmic Garden!

If the Super Ancient Gods knew Reinimansgar back then, then it was only natural they would also know the Evil Gods.

“Actually, we have ties to your lineage,” Di Zun suddenly said, looking at the Evil God. With a wave of his hand, an unbelievable sight appeared:

A quantum battle body.

“There truly are ties to our Evil God lineage?” At that moment, Medusa was also visibly stunned. Seeing the quantum battle body confirmed for her that she had indeed revived the ancient Evil God civilization system... It just happened to align with that era, which was why Reinimansgar hadn't suspected her.

However, she dared not speak much, fearing she might reveal a flaw, be identified, and exposed as a fake Evil God.

At the same time, her mind raced. Even though she had departed far too early to know about the Super Ancient Gods, she vaguely sensed the presence of similar beings.

She thought to herself:

“So, behind the Wizard World and the Primordial World, there truly are beings comparable to Reinimansgar, advancing the eras from behind the scenes... Is it the Land of Gods?”

“The mystery of the Land of Gods' destruction all those years ago remains unknown, but it must have encountered a terrifying enemy, as even Hermes fell... Are the remaining great beings from the Land of Gods now revitalizing civilization, leading the resistance against the enemy who destroyed them? Are these beings before me all new forces...”

“It seems that during my long absence, the world has undergone earth-shattering changes. Even Mother Earth Green Vine has reached the ninth-tier path... and Di Qi, from ancient legends, has also returned...”

In an instant, the netizens erupted in discussion.

“It's understandable that they know the Evil God! After all, the Lord of Reincarnation is very mysterious; no one knows how many years he's followed the Super Ancient Gods... No one knows how long he's truly lived!”

“Indeed, he possesses an immortal gene! To cultivate to such a degree, it would take at least tens of thousands of years! Otherwise, he wouldn't have spanned ancient Underworld eras, forbidding anyone from becoming an immortal!”

“But now, has his genetic bloodline been changed?”

“Five-gene lifeforms can indeed alter their genes... As for which one was changed? Logically, it's unclear, but traces can be seen in their cultivation techniques, aura, and movements... If there's no visible change from before, it's likely an undetectable recessive gene that was altered... And there's only one recessive gene: the immortal gene!”

“Holy crap! That's ruthless! Did Di Zun replace his immortal gene with an Evil God gene?”

Their speculation led to a terrifying realization.

The power of the immortal gene was undeniable, yet Di Zun had actually replaced it?

To abandon immortality — that takes immense resolve.

“It certainly looks like he swapped out the immortal gene.”

At this moment, Meng Mei took a deep breath and quietly said to the Alchemy Emperor, “It's likely the immortal gene was always just a transitional tool for him. To sever the path to immortality and refine his foundation... he couldn't do it without sufficient lifespan! Now, once he becomes an immortal... this transitional gene would be directly replaced, allowing him to cultivate the stronger Evil God quantum gene!”

This was indeed a very reasonable hypothesis.

Because, while the immortal gene was heaven-defying, it didn't significantly boost combat power.

What the Super Ancient Gods needed most right now was combat power!

They needed strong individuals to emerge, which is why Di Zun chose to abandon the immortal gene and integrate a gene that offered greater combat power, preparing for future crises!

This perfectly explained everything.

“Extremely ruthless, incredibly resolute!”

The Alchemy Emperor showed a look of admiration. “This kind of Di Zun, who spans an entire era, when I was becoming a god, there were no gods in the world... Indeed, his calculations are flawless. Such a feat is truly earth-shattering.”

“Hehehe... He is indeed formidable.”

Meng Mei chuckled, but then said, “However, our level isn't bad either! Just from a single clue, we can deduce all of Di Zun's logic and actions... We can perfectly explain his epoch-spanning endeavors. Also, given his situation and cultivation level, it's likely he integrated this gene quite a while ago... Very possibly, he began modifying his genes and re-cultivating after the battle of the minor universe!”

That was indeed the case.

No wonder Di Zun had been out of sight for years, rarely even appearing in the Six Paths of Reincarnation World.

“Looking at it that way, it's clear... the enemy, Moon God Ji, is terrifyingly stronger than we imagined!” The Alchemy Emperor's expression became utterly solemn. “Although we don't know what exactly transpired in the ancient Chinese Buddhist-Taoist system war, or how powerful the enemies our Earth ancestors faced were... Di Zun's preparations, his frantic efforts to boost combat power, indirectly reflect just how cautious he is in his readiness.”

The burden on their shoulders was heavier than they had imagined!

In reality, the only ones truly willing to bear the full weight of responsibility for the Super Ancient Gods were likely Carolyn and Di Zun. Di Qi and the Three Pillar Gods were merely pursuing a path to greater strength, but they had already become tied to the Super Ancient Gods' war chariot and could no longer escape.

Thus, this was inherently a shared enemy.

And the players were also on the side of the Super Ancient Gods; after all, their ancestors were part of the ancient Chinese Buddhist-Taoist system, and naturally, it was their duty to revitalize civilization.

They had not forgotten for a moment the remains of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and those comforting Cantonese words from back then!

“Following this line of reasoning... Di Zun has long been cultivating the Evil God's gene, and we are also heading this way, witnessing this civilization... Is this, in itself, also a trial given by the Super Ancient Gods?”

“Very likely, even highly probable.”

“Yes, the Super Ancient Gods have probably already had a discussion with Reinimansgar.”

In an instant, they were continuously analyzing and integrating information, feeling as if a scene of truth was gradually revealing itself before their eyes.

At this moment, Di Zun suddenly looked at the Evil God's arm and chuckled again, “Do you know where your ancestors went?”

Medusa frowned.

Little Ishiji beside her also showed a solemn expression, because her father — Reinimansgar — had previously said he didn't know either... Having slept for too long, he only performed the Evil God summoning ritual upon waking, discovering that her entire lineage had been reduced to just her sister.

“That's right, Father has been dormant for over a hundred thousand years and is unaware of external affairs, but this civilization has existed for over a hundred thousand years... It must know the final whereabouts of my sister's Evil God lineage! Sister must be very eager to know where her people went!” Ishiji thought to herself, looking at Medusa beside her.
