Chapter 959: God Tower

Xu Zhi's eyes instantly brightened.

Caroline was indeed a research-oriented scientist.

Before, she had been secretly studying these iron-based cells on the virus-infected planet, and she had actually made such significant progress.

In fact, Xu Zhi had previously thought that iron-based cells and All-Race cells were somewhat similar, both being high-density and high-defense. However, All-Race cells lacked any elasticity and could not be compressed.

Iron-based cells, on the other hand, functioned like springs, possessing extremely advanced elastic capabilities, allowing for extreme compression.

Caroline must have realized this as well!

"You've actually managed to imitate the Iron-Based Race?" the Ancient God couldn't help but ask.

"I plan to imprison those two Primal Chaos beings and have them cultivate, continuously providing resources to improve the cellular traits of the entire All-Race," Caroline explained. "Actually, while our All-Race has a mature cultivation system, we completely lack mature combat techniques. The All-Race is a type of radiation cell, capable of utilizing radiation. Previously, we relied solely on radiation and integrated Qi-gene combat. But now, we've finally developed our true potential."

That was indeed the case!

Without its delicate ceramic properties, the All-Race cell was essentially a simple enhanced radiation gene. Its combat methods were also quite ordinary.

The All-Race had not yet developed its own unique combat system.

"Yes, our All-Race has finally found its footing. Our previous combat methods were limited, and the radiation-based Buddhist paths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation offered no significant combat distinction."

Caroline's face was filled with anticipation and longing. "However, we are still not as good as true Iron-Based life forms. Our density and hardness are even greater than theirs, which means we can only compress to one-quarter of their extent, but that's already quite remarkable."

"That's already sufficient," Xu Zhi said after a moment's thought. "The All-Race's radiation and defense, combined with extreme compression, will create a unique combat power with a very promising future."

High physical compression would undoubtedly lead to stronger defense!

With high physical compression, radiation energy would also undergo a qualitative change.

All-Race cells, inherently strong in overall capabilities and a specially enhanced type of radiation cell, now also possessed some of the Iron-Based life forms' cultivation techniques. This was indeed more than enough.

Had the All-Race's combat techniques finally evolved to Version 2.0? Would their combat power reach an astonishing level?

Xu Zhi looked at Caroline, filled with emotion, feeling like an old father watching his diligently raised daughter finally grow up.

Perhaps...

In the future, the True Body of Nüwa would not be weaker than the True Body of Pangu?

"And I, who have cultivated both the True Body of Nüwa, with the strongest defense, and the True Body of Pangu, with the strongest regenerative abilities..." Xu Zhi's eyes grew brighter. "Add to that the Quantum Battle Body..."

Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps. How desperate would his enemies feel upon seeing him?

In reality, Xu Zhi had never chosen to integrate the iron-based gene, as he felt it wasn't necessary!

Each biological gene slot was limited.

Others couldn't change their integrated genes once they were set, and even if Xu Zhi could, he still had to deliberate on which gene offered better cost-effectiveness and overall superiority.

For any given gene, one would naturally choose the best type.

Now, the All-Race cells could integrate some of the iron-based gene's characteristics. Theoretically, their genetic potential had already surpassed that of iron-based life forms... becoming a superior gene to the iron-based gene itself.

A quarter of the compression elasticity was already a massive gain for Xu Zhi; what more could he be dissatisfied with?

Xu Zhi took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly, and thought to himself, "This is the terrifying aspect of the Zerg race: endless evolution is possible.... Iron-based life forms are incredibly powerful... but they still can't compare to the potential of All-Race cells. Why? Because iron-based cells evolved naturally, through the universe's natural processes, formed by countless low-probability combinations... Even though they are strong, they still have various minor flaws and issues."

How could they compare to deliberately evolved transcendent genes?

Genes evolved by nature relied on sheer luck.

"However, there's still one final step..." Caroline said softly, a hint of hesitation in her voice. After a moment of silence, she added, "I still need some true iron-based cells for observation. This problem has stumped me for a long time..."

Her computing power at this moment was immense.

It was a super galactic computer for a Rank Nine Daoist!

She had naturally studied the pseudo iron-based cells of the Machine Pillar God, but now, she needed some genuine ones.

"Iron-based cells?"

The Ancient God's expression remained calm as he opened his hand, revealing a trace of living flesh and blood.

"This?!" Caroline's eyes instantly widened in astonishment.

This piece of flesh was incredibly fresh!

It looked as if it had just been removed from Reinmansga's body!

What did this mean?

She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

"After you left, Reinmansga pursued us from behind. I had a confrontation with him," the Ancient God stated.

"I can't believe it, they fought after all? Was a confrontation inevitable?" Caroline's face turned slightly pale.

They actually fought afterward?

Her mind was in turmoil.

Indeed, how could beings of such a level easily reach an agreement? Could they compromise through mere words?

This was no ordinary matter!

Before her were ten primordial gods and devils from the dawn of chaos!

These were treasures obtained by trading for the future of the universe with the Creator God!

It was impossible to divide cosmic treasures of this magnitude without a confrontation.

The previous so-called agreement and fair distribution were likely due to both parties fearing each other at the time, restraining them from harming each other's descendants!

Reinmansga was concerned about his daughter and the Demon God.

And the Ancient God was concerned about them.

Thus, after their apparent withdrawal, Reinmansga secretly pursued them, initiating a surprise attack. Two truly forbidden and earth-shattering beings erupted into an unimaginable super battle.

Holding the vivid red flesh in her hand, Caroline felt both excited and guilty. "We are truly too weak... I just broke through to Rank Nine... believing myself to have a perfect Dao foundation... reaching my limit, so to speak... and feeling somewhat complacent. Yet, I couldn't intervene in a confrontation between beings of this level."

Her inner pride was shattered!

She silently clenched her fists, her heart tightening.

The Ancient God told them nothing!

Having traversed ancient and mottled ages, silently shouldering everything, this peerless being had, with his own blood, paved the way for their future.

"Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Grow stronger! I must grow stronger!" Her gaze turned sharp. Becoming such a powerful Rank Nine was not her ultimate goal; rather, it was to truly shoulder the heavens and become the Ancient God's Dao Protector.

"How is this piece of flesh?" the Ancient God asked.

"It's enough. I expect to soon research and develop a physical compression technique for the All-Race," Caroline replied. "This time, in reshaping the universe... I have learned from the previous world-ending lessons and have a new world order in mind."

"Oh?" The Ancient God was slightly surprised.

"Yes, creating individual life planets, even if we could manipulate them for escape, still made them too easy for invaders to destroy... They were too scattered. So, I had a new idea: to create a Tower of Gods!"

Caroline explained, "This Tower of Gods will be composed of countless planets, vast and expansive, with a total of thirty-three levels... At the same time, it will be made of All-Race cells, imbued with life!"

"When necessary, this tower can utilize the new technique to directly compress its size, achieving one-quarter the density of a neutron star. It can then be held in the palm of one's hand, making it easy to carry, and also serve as an extremely terrifying weapon to strike opponents!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi found the idea truly profound.

Caroline, however, shook her head. "This is simply a complete imitation of the Cosmic Garden, the Iron-Based Race's combat method... They have their Cosmic Garden, and I have my Tower of Gods.... If I'm not mistaken, Reinmansga's Cosmic Garden can definitely be compressed to the size of a neutron star, similar to an ordinary villa, allowing inhabitants to reside within and also be used to smash people."

Caroline's expression was solemn.

Reinmansga's combat power was unimaginably strong!

The Cosmic Garden was his ultimate weapon, and for the Ancient God to engage in combat with such a being was simply incredible.

"Yes, I never thought you'd figure that out...."

The Ancient God's gaze drifted into the distance, profound as he spoke, "Reinmansga's greatest secret lies there. He dominated the star domain with it over a hundred thousand years ago. The fact that you could discern his strongest technique shows your deep immersion and terrifying research into iron-based life forms. Your long stay in that star field was not in vain. His Cosmic Garden is truly formidable... Even if it wasn't directly used in this life-or-death struggle, its combat power is still not to be underestimated."
