Chapter 958: The Tribe's Qualitative Change

A new era has indeed begun.

Xu Zhi sat in front of the fruit garden's cellar, gazing at the ancient land.

A group of delicate, tiny ants celebrated, cheering enthusiastically.

The exquisitely scattered, ancient-style immortal hero towns in the mountains felt like miniature Lego brick toys.

Immortal beings, riding clouds and mist, occasionally flew over the towns. Below, many common people dressed in simple hemp and leather would look up in awe, but had long grown accustomed to such sights.

"A new era, with cultivators transcending the laws of all heavens and realms, living for a hundred thousand years... They are all cheering for this, as a truly great existence, beyond the gods, has appeared..."

Xu Zhi sat elevated at the cellar's entrance, legs crossed in a wooden chair, eating an apple, and looking down at the brightly lit area. "A hundred thousand years, which is about three years in reality, is indeed a very long time."

No one knew that within a remote fruit orchard in Dongcheng Township, there was a mythical Heavenly Court dynasty spanning a hundred thousand years, hidden in a cellar like a magic box. It appeared small and delicate, but its destructive power was immense, capable of annihilating Earth in an instant.

If this news were to spread, everyone would go mad, wouldn't they?

A mythical immortal hero dynasty was actually hidden in a rural orchard.

Xu Zhi's expression grew increasingly calm. "It seems I can start to let go for a short while... after all, it's becoming more mature."

Initially, a few days in reality, equivalent to a few hundred years, could influence an era.

Later, a few thousand years, or a few weeks, could influence an era.

But now, for a cosmic civilization spanning three years, it might take several months, or even more than half a year, for truly significant changes to occur.

The more stable and mature it became, the fewer changes would arise.

"Di Qi has achieved enlightenment... His combat power will likely undergo an instantaneous qualitative leap! Even if he has just broken through, ordinary high-level Ninth Tier cultivators will probably be crushed by him. I can only watch helplessly and hide. For this period, I don't need to pay attention to their development... After all, it's a rapid transition period of explosive power. Having just broken through, they will certainly need to cultivate minor realms, progressing from low-tier to mid-tier, then high-tier..."

Xu Zhi had no intention of managing this side.

However, he still needed to attend to the mini-universe era, as the responsibility of the Super Saiyan would be very heavy in the future.

*Whoosh!*

With a gentle stretch of his hand, Xu Zhi stepped into the mini-universe world.

Around him lay an empty, silent void, with shattered planets still drifting.

After the mini-universe war, Caroline hadn't had time to restore the world's vitality before Meng Mei informed her of the great octopus's coordinates.

Therefore, Caroline simply didn't repair the world at that time, leaving it riddled with holes, and went off alone into the distance. This was to prevent the Three Pillar Gods and Di Qi from taking advantage just after she had finished restoring the entire universe.

Now that she had just returned, it was natural to repair the world.

However, while repairing the cosmic civilization had previously been extremely difficult for Caroline, it now seemed remarkably simple.

*Swish—*

Pristine white planets began to form.

Countless seeds of vegetation, sprouts, and beasts were once again multiplying.

A beautiful deity, made of white porcelain, stood in the cosmic void, wisps of pale clay wrapped around her body, dense like smoke.

With a gentle flick of her hand.

Countless bits of clay fell onto the ground, transforming into tiny people. The newly created figures cheered, bounced, and leaped on a planet, appearing utterly adorable.

Suddenly, Caroline turned around, a flicker of light in her eyes. "Ancient God?"

"Are you restoring the world?"

The Ancient God gazed into the distance and softly said, "Indeed, creating life from clay can be called an entire race; this race is truly formidable."

Caroline smiled as well. "I've already broken through to the Ninth Tier. I wonder how much of a gap still remains? I've cultivated a foundational realm that is as perfect as can be, with four gene systems, two non-gene systems, and all six major systems cultivated concurrently. I've finally reached completion."

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Previously, before breaking through to the Ninth Tier, she had no spare energy, but now she could barely be considered to be in the same realm.

Although she knew that even within the same realm, beings could be divided into two distinct types—for example, those who had just entered the low-tier god realm and weak Ninth Tier gods who had reached the Grand Perfection of the Ninth Tier path were simply not on the same level.

"This foundation is already very perfect."

Xu Zhi smiled slightly. "In reality, we are already in the same realm, but there is still... some disparity. Further effort is required."

"A disparity?" Caroline paused her clay sculpting, meeting the Ancient God's gaze. "Is it the gap between the Ninth Tier and the weak Tenth Tier?"

The Ancient God fell silent for a moment, then, without answering, suddenly chuckled. "Are you evolving the beings of a new world?"

"Yes," Caroline replied.

"They can all be evolved into Saiyans; the entire world can be composed of them," Xu Zhi said in a low voice. "This is the advantage of their entire race: the path to the Ninth Tier has no threshold... A large number of Saiyans can form an indescribable quantity of Ninth Tier cultivators! In fact, as long as they break through the divine realm, they can reach the Ninth Tier of enlightenment without any barriers."

"I was thinking the same thing."

Caroline, clearly sharing this idea, spoke enthusiastically. "This is the fastest way to increase power. When the number of Ninth Tier enlightened beings in the entire world reaches a certain amount—tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands—even without me here... Di Qi and the Three Pillar Gods might not dare to invade. They would have to pay an enormous price, being instantly focused down and killed!"

It's important to know that quantity can also lead to a qualitative change.

What's more, Super Saiyans also possess the ability to fuse and transform...

"Actually, I acquired two excellent Primordial Chaos Gods and Demons," Caroline stated seriously. "One is a clay life-form, and the other is a spiritual water life-form."

The Ancient God looked at her with an indifferent expression and asked, "This is a rare opportunity in the entire universe, to come into contact with the primordial laws of primal chaos, the true oneness of the Grand Dao... What are your thoughts on these two life-forms?"

"The innate clay life-form... it can be said to be the first spiritual soil since creation, containing mysterious laws. The spiritual water life-form is similar. I captured them directly for study and discovered that both possess a unique innate primordial chaos substance. It's an excellent spiritual material. Our entire race, through long-term immersion combined with certain cultivation methods, has found that our cell elasticity has undergone a qualitative change..."

"A qualitative change?" Xu Zhi was stunned.

"Yes, our cell elasticity has undergone a qualitative change."

Caroline continued, "Our entire race's ceramic cells are incredibly fine and dense, and their defense is exceptionally sturdy—arguably the strongest defense. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art is merely strong in regeneration and is no match for us... However, our biggest drawback is our great brittleness; we are very fragile. But now, this effectively changes that flaw, and it also means that our entire race might be able to cultivate the techniques of iron-based life-forms!"

Xu Zhi: "..."

He was utterly dumbfounded.

This trend was truly terrifying.

They were constantly researching how to steal the cultivation techniques and bloodlines of others, using their own methods against them.
