Chapter 954: Disturbance

The chaos gradually subsided. The great beings soon departed. Only the scarred planets remained, along with the surviving mortals of various civilizations, who stared blankly at the scene, their faces etched with despair and numbness. This scene would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

"What exactly was that?""We didn't die?""I'm actually still alive!""The Creator God truly exists..."

Even the great Gods of Light, the Goddesses of Nature, and the high-ranking officials of the Teal Empire were utterly bewildered and distraught. The sudden explosion of events and overwhelming information made them feel incapable of thought. At that moment, it seemed as if the supreme gods, usually high above the world, were indistinguishable from common beggars. They watched the terrifying conflicts of alien civilizations beyond the stars, able only to pray and despair.

A mere speck of dust from this era's events was a mountain for ordinary people. They could not resist anything, only silently tend to their scarred lands, which now barely belonged to their own race. Even though they did not understand what the unseen Creator God of Laws had said, simply hearing the vast true sound of the universe and seeing the faint phantom was enough to deeply shake their souls.

"However, we still have a future." Emperor Teal closed his eyes and said, "We are no longer of our original race, but we are still alive. As long as there's life, there's hope, which is better than death. Faced with such powerful and mysterious cosmic civilizations, achieving this much—avoiding the destruction of our nation and the annihilation of our race—is already satisfying. Oh, and how much of the profound true sound of the universe's creation did we manage to remember?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we remembered the third subsection of the first passage and the third subsection of the fifth passage," a civil minister exclaimed with excitement. "This is the very origin of the universe, containing all the information about the sequential division of cosmic laws!" One could say this was an immense treasure that even the highest civilizations in the universe, perhaps even those at the ultimate Tenth-tier, might not possess!

One must understand that no civilization or creature would typically have the chance to hear such a cosmic blessing of creation, unless they personally experienced the universe's genesis, the primordial chaos, and heard this cosmic overture.

"The Dao sounds of creation represent the sequence of law division and collision. Every byte and musical note symbolizes the universe's principles and truths. Understanding this overture means understanding the universe's origin."

In the Cosmic Garden.

Little Shiji gazed at the four hazy primordial gods and demons, her face alight with excitement. She jumped and grabbed her father's arm, exclaiming, "Father, this is simply incredible! These creatures' innate chaotic laws have begun to transform into postnatal ones... splitting into countless individual laws, yet still giving a sense of primordial unity!"

Medusa, whose understanding was the deepest, also frowned as she continued to sense. "Their genes are very peculiar; they are composite... for instance, a compound meteorological gene for wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, or a composite gene that controls the atmosphere, oceans, and repulsive forces." Even in this simulated genesis, the mere fact that these beings had touched a trace of primordial chaotic laws made them extraordinary. Although their chaotic genes had differentiated, a vast number of laws remained concentrated within a single gene, which was truly formidable!

"Furthermore, I've noticed that these genes possess strong instability..." Medusa softly explained, "If their genes integrate with other creatures or are passed down to offspring, these composite genes will further differentiate. For example, a four-element gene encompassing wind, fire, thunder, and lightning might separate into individual genes for wind, fire, thunder, and electricity." Medusa's expression was solemn, as if she had stumbled upon something profoundly intriguing!

Perhaps many of the single genes found in countless creatures across the universe—such as fire genes or psychic genes—originally stemmed from these initial, composite, semi-chaotic genes that slowly differentiated.

"They are indeed irreplaceable and unique," Medusa stated with a deep breath. "If these genes are inherited by others, they will split and degenerate due to instability. They truly are primordial chaotic demon gods, impossible to replicate!"

Renimansga smiled and said, "Indeed, we must look forward to the future of these beings... after all, they were acquired at a great cost." Medusa's face also showed a mix of hope and contentment. On this expedition, she couldn't care less about cosmic destruction or raging floods; obtaining the benefits she desired was more than enough!

The profound true sound of the Dao, even if it recorded the "false principles" of the universe! But without understanding the "false principles" of the universe, how could one possibly approach the singular true principle? A leap of a thousand miles is impossible without first taking steps. The true principle of the universe is the chaotic "One Dao," the "Primordial Unity," the Creator God. The thousands, even tens of thousands, of cosmic laws that have differentiated—unifying these "false principles"—constitute the universe's true principle.

"Father, how does one break through to the ultimate Tenth-tier realm? Could it be related to these true principles...? Is the ultimate Tenth-tier realm of the universe, the end of the Grand Dao, about touching the true principles?" Little Shiji couldn't help but ask. After all, only by breaking through to become a Ninth-tier Iron-based tribesman could one receive the Tenth-tier inheritance information. Medusa also looked on with hopeful anticipation, gazing at the master of the Cosmic Garden.

After all, the ultimate path in the universe is the Tenth-tier ultimate! What defines ultimate? The end of the Grand Dao, where there is no further path to tread—that is ultimate! Yet, having witnessed this genesis, she vaguely sensed that the Tenth-tier might only involve mastering the limits of all the "false principles" within this universe. Could the true principles lie in a further step, enabling one to transcend the entire cosmos? But could that be a realm beyond the Tenth-tier? This was very perplexing. Glimpsing the universe's origin truly meant encountering something far beyond their level and comprehension, something their current knowledge and resources could not explain.

Xu Zhi looked at the two, whose eyes were filled with aspiration, and said nothing. It surpassed their understanding, and naturally, it surpassed his own as well. Little Shiji continued to ask eagerly, "Does the Tenth-tier truly involve mastering the true principles? It doesn't seem like it. Could the Tenth-tier simply mean mastering all the laws within the universe?"

Xu Zhi gazed into the distance, looking out the study window, and smiled, "You'll have to explore that yourself. How does one break through to the Tenth-tier? Once you reach the Ninth-tier, you'll naturally receive the inherited knowledge and understand. Don't be too ambitious."

Shiji, having no choice but to stop asking, excitedly waved her small iron fists and declared, "Then I'll start by cultivating my strength and add some difficulty to my life." Shiji glanced at the four primordial creatures her sister was researching and cultivating, but paid them no heed. Instead, she enthusiastically went to the garden outside to practice her boxing. The lush green forest in the garden appeared to Little Shiji like a vast emerald grassland.

"You're my temporary trainer?" Shiji asked Pan Xuexian, a puzzled expression on her face. "My guide for officially embarking on the path of cultivation?"

Pan Xuexian smiled and replied, "That's right. Although I am your father's inner disciple, I've cultivated the martial arts of the Martial Alliance Leader, so I can teach you the foundational levels."

"Now, repeat after me: Women must strive for self-reliance!"

"Women must strive for self-reliance!" Shiji repeated, her voice full of spirit.

"Punch, punch, punch!" Pan Xuexian's veins bulged as she punched a large tree as if it were a sandbag. "It's a pity I can't find a suitable sparring partner or bag."

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Shiji quickly followed suit and began to learn.

Meanwhile.

In the Seven Realms' Chongming Heavenly Court, the ancient Lava Great Domain was still reintegrating. Emperor Qi and others had too many matters to handle, even needing to remain vigilant against others, leaving them no free time. However, the players were already stirring, discussing the intense events that had just unfolded on their side. The Creator God and the Destroyer God were simply too astonishing.
