Chapter 956: New Gains, Looking to the Future? Giving Birth Can Make You Stronger

They were deliberating and making decisions. After all, they were a civilization that needed to develop. This was reality; many things were unavoidable, no matter how optimistic one might be.

"Ha! Let's not dwell on this. I'll start a live stream, and we can discuss the current situation and dynamics."

Mengmei, with practiced ease, started her live stream. As she sat up, she noticed that all the nearby streaming platforms were incredibly popular.

One live stream even had tens of millions of views.

"Cute Loli: The Daily, Tedious Life of Online Martial Arts Practice"

Mengmei didn't quite grasp it. She clicked to watch and found that the live stream was showing scenes from the Universe Garden.

A towering little girl, comparable in size to half of Australia, with forests and mountains under her feet seeming like flat ground, was throwing punches in place, full of energy and laughing boisterously.

And an even tinier teacher was instructing her.

The live stream's popularity was already soaring.

"Hahaha, what a cute loli! I love her, I really do!"

"A three-million-ton berserk loli, smashing people online!"

"Father-in-law, I'd like to propose!"

"Love transcends species!"

"Damn it, if even this little girl is working so hard she's going bald, I can't be lazy! I need to get stronger, stronger, stronger... then I'll enter that world, marry the girl, and become an enviable pair of 'Divine Bald Heroes'!"

What the hell? 'Divine Bald Heroes'?

Mengmei's face darkened as she widened her eyes in disbelief. "..."

Are these guys out of their minds?

With such enthusiastic expressions, they were frantically sending gifts, watching the little girl's daily martial arts practice, as if they were idolizing a celebrity.

But Pan Xuexian, that guy, has become increasingly devious lately. He used to seem quite honest. Back then, he'd live stream with that group of muscular little animals from the Martial God Palace, scaring everyone senseless. Now he's learned to do this, and it's surprisingly popular?

Pan Xuexian, with an excited expression, said to the live stream audience, "Brothers, send some gifts! Let's get the '666s' flowing!"

Click.

Mengmei also started her live stream.

Instantly, countless people swarmed in.

"Cough, cough, cough! Everyone, let me give you an update on the current situation. We achieved a great victory in this major battle! Caroline has now returned to the mini-universe... and the Three Pillar Gods haven't returned yet; they're still pursuing the Machine Pillar God."

"As for the six beings that opened up heaven and earth, our three sides each took two. Di Qi also acquired two... one is cloud-like, and the other is a plant vine... Di Qi is still researching them, and I estimate that once his research is complete, with his personality, he won't raise them. He'll definitely hand them over to this compassionate Empress to raise. After all, as the Jianmu that nurtures all things, I have a lot of experience in cultivating disciples. Just look at Dao Changsheng... and you'll know I'm a professional."

Everyone immediately fell silent, unsure of how to respond.

What is this person bragging about?

You're probably an expert at making people go bald, aren't you?

She's certainly quite good at that.

"If they don't study until they die, they'll study until they're dead." They could already imagine the tragic fate of those two beings.

Mengmei ignored them and continued, "As for the six beings, each world got two. Why didn't Di Zun get any? According to our conjecture... he himself is an innate god-demon, so he naturally doesn't need them! Next..."

Mengmei briefly explained, and Qiu Mingshan Che Su coughed twice beside her, saying, "Next, I, your professional commentator, will provide an analysis. We'll start with the God of Destruction and the God of Creation!"

In the Tongcheng countryside, Xu Zhi returned to his orchard. He sat on a wooden chair in front of his courtyard gate, basking in the bright sunlight, and watched the live stream content.

After watching for a while, he wasn't overly concerned.

The demise of the Asura Path was something he had already anticipated.

After all, a short lifespan was their biggest flaw, and what they gained in exchange for it was their innate talent for evolution.

"As it is said," he mused, "everything is balanced... The path lies before us, and the success of one general is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers." Xu Zhi sat on his chair, looking up at the sky.

In the distance, the spore creatures of the evolutionary sandbox chirped madly, strange little beings running and wandering everywhere.

"Others are analyzing their gains and losses," he thought, "so it's time for me to sense my Quantum Battle Body. Is it a Grand Universe Battle Body?" He opened his eyes and leisurely sorted through the gains from this experience.

Whoosh.

Xu Zhi gently extended a hand.

A Quantum Battle Body slowly emerged in the void.

Its entire body was fair and slender, giving off a mysterious, chaotic, and ancient aura. Having incorporated the Zerg sub-brain mechanism, it possessed the appearance of a Zerg.

"Each Quantum Battle Body formed from a martial art has its own characteristics," he mused. "Mine... is the Grand Universe, subtly connected by a quantum umbilical cord."

"The Grand Universe Battle Body, theoretically, is the only Quantum Battle Body that can ignore the size of the main body and infinitely increase its own size... Eventually, it can even devour the entire universe, turning its Quantum Battle Body into the entire universe!"

Xu Zhi pondered how terrifying the concept of this martial art was. He thought:

"And the concept of this cultivation method is to treat the bloodline descendants of one's own race as part of one's own body, frantically reproducing and giving birth, and thereby continuously increasing one's own size...."

In reality, this cultivation method was extremely demanding.

Xu Zhi was only able to successfully cultivate it by utilizing the primordial chaos of "Xiantian Yiqi."

But if one cultivates it successfully, does that make them invincible?

Not at all.

Everything had only just begun.

Yes, it had only just begun...

This cultivation method was incredibly perverse... even more so than Zhou Meng's "Heavenly Dream"!

Simply put, how does this Grand Universe cultivation method steal the matter of the entire universe?

By continuously having children!

And then, by having these children break through to the Ninth-Order "World" realm.

Every "World" that transcends the laws of the universe and becomes an enlightened one requires enormous resources and energy for cultivation, effectively stealing vast amounts of matter and energy from the entire universe. That's why it's said, "As long as saints do not die, great thieves will never cease."

And once a saint dies, the energy of these "Worlds" after their demise returns to the main universe.

This is a necessary process for all powerful beings; what is taken must be returned.

Heaven creates all things to nurture life, and when you die, you return to heaven and earth. Only then can everything continue...

"However, this cultivation method is the true thief," he continued. "It borrows without returning... After Ninth-Order powerhouses die, their energy seemingly returns to the universe, transforming into sand and stones, wind, fire, and lightning... But in reality, as my descendants, they bear my spiritual imprint, still a part of my body, scattered throughout the entire universe as sand, rivers, wind, and rain...."

"As long as I continuously cultivate Ninth-Orders, allowing them to devour the matter of the entire universe... regardless of whether they are dead or alive, their cells will bear my spiritual imprint, subtly becoming a part of my body."

This was why this cultivation method was considered perverse and utterly evil.

"But in reality, who can achieve this?" he pondered. "A heartless sow, continuously giving birth, and also ensuring that countless Ninth-Orders emerge among her descendants? Ninth-Orders numerous enough to devour an entire world?"

"Even a Zerg Matriarch might not think it possible. That's an unimaginable amount of work."

Xu Zhi couldn't help but laugh softly. He silently sensed everything through this Quantum Battle Body.

"The most difficult part is that only Ninth-Orders qualify!" he explained. "If descendants below the Ninth-Order die, the matter they devoured from the universe will all be returned... they simply cannot bear my imprint. Only Ninth-Orders achieve soul-body unity, imprinting their spiritual mark into every cellular substance."

Xu Zhi gazed into the distance, sitting on a long chair in his orchard.

"But still, I have to say that the person who developed this cultivation method is truly a genius," he murmured. "To think of using one's own descendants to cultivate the soul-body unity of the Ninth-Order path, and to imprint one's mark upon the entire universe."

Through the Quantum Battle Body, Xu Zhi sensed that among the fallen Zerg powerhouses who had been on the Ninth-Order path, only the matter from the part where their soul and body had unified still had a subtle connection with him.

The matter from these divine corpses was mostly crafted into various divine artifacts and weapons, while a small portion completely dissipated, transforming into sand, dust, and rivers in the world...

He subtly sensed that it was as if a part of his body could be used at will, much like Zhou Meng, who dreamed of being flowers, trees, and stones... How truly perverse!

It's conceivable that as long as there are enough Ninth-Orders, one day his "Quantum Battle Body" would frantically expand in size, eventually devouring the matter of the entire universe and becoming a truly vast universe!

Even if it wasn't an entire universe, to a certain extent, it might encompass a galaxy! Or even a star cluster! All of which would be his super Quantum Battle Body...

How magnificent and vast would such a scene be?

"But this is perhaps too far into the future," Xu Zhi murmured, rubbing his nose. "How many Ninth-Orders would it take to devour the matter of the entire universe...? My grand ambition is comparable to Medusa's." Yet, undeniably, after developing the sandbox cultivation system until now, a cultivation method most suitable for a Zerg Matriarch had finally emerged: one could become stronger by cultivating, stronger by reproducing, and stronger by having children...

Optimal breeding, vast numbers of Ninth-Order "Worlds," eventually forming a universe.
