Chapter 976: I Have a Bold Idea

Xu Zhi landed softly in a mountain range and looked into the distance. He saw a small stronghold of gods. A few mutually trusting gods were self-concealed, their aura hidden extremely well.

"One would have to stay indoors their entire life to achieve such an exaggerated level, building such high-intensity protective concealment arrays... to be holed up inside. But indeed, they truly never leave their homes." Xu Zhi's gaze was calm.

But did they think the main body was their weakness? That would be ridiculous! The main body's combat power was the strongest. After all, the copied quantum genes were handicapped, possessing only seventy percent of the main body's power. If you couldn't even defeat the clones, seeking out their main bodies would truly be courting death.

In this land, small televisions were already a best-selling product among the gods. Xu Zhi calmly spent some resources to acquire a small television and then built a house in a secluded location.

Click. Xu Zhi sat in his newly built living room, facing the small television. "It looks like the broadcast should start soon?"

Bored, he sat on the sofa, fiddling with the channels, and found them surprisingly few.

"Virtual Life" — Quantum Battle Bodies, that was the core function."TV Shopping" — It was very rudimentary at the moment. There were no advanced artifacts. Only various novels, books, and spiritual readings. Most interestingly, Xu Zhi even found handheld game consoles with titles like Pokémon and Double Dragon inside.

Xu Zhi's face darkened slightly. What strange technology trees had these creatures developed just to make money? Iron smelting, circuit manufacturing, industrialization—starting from scratch, and now they had even developed handheld consoles. As expected of a professional farming-style civilization—not skilled in combat, but number one in lifestyle farming. There must be electronic engineering talent working there.

"Focus Interview" — This was a recent addition. And that was it.

What Xu Zhi anticipated most was another inherently important category, "Variety Entertainment," which would feature movies, create "celebrities," collect spiritual power, and gather incense offerings to form incense gods. However, this program did not seem to have appeared yet; it was still in the planning stages. After all, arranging the incense offerings and planning television series was quite complex.

"I guess Caroline will start broadcasting soon?" Xu Zhi sat on the sofa, watching the small television, feeling somewhat bored. For these natives, the current television barely provided the three essential elements of a shut-in's life: gaming, novel reading, and video programs. It could allow these natives to happily stay indoors their entire lives, but for Xu Zhi, it was quite boring, as he was already accustomed to such things.

"Perhaps I should find something to do?" Xu Zhi propped his chin, a frown on his face. Other gods had their families, sitting together watching TV, while his house was empty. Everyone else had their daughters and sons with them.

"They invaded the Cosmic Garden. Now, what if I let the Cosmic Garden 'invade' them in reverse... by bringing Medusa and Shi Ji here to watch TV in this living room? To secretly observe the development of this new civilization together?"

He was startled by this wild idea. This maneuver was too audacious. Secretly observing his own civilization. He felt that he might have been corrupted by the audacious tactics of those "sand sculpture" players to come up with such an idea, but on second thought, it wasn't bad at all! After all, Caroline's development had been too smooth. The development of Emperor Qi and the Three Pillar Gods had also been too smooth; they hadn't suffered any major losses. The Cosmic Garden had lost so much; wouldn't they try to get revenge? Would Renimansgar's drama just end like this? That would be too much of a waste.

The myriad worlds needed to contend with each other. While there was no deep-seated grudge with Renimansgar, and they weren't outright enemies, they were at least neutral forces with an uneasy relationship. It would be fine for Renimansgar to put a little pressure on them.

His expression became strange. "And, by bringing Shi Ji and Medusa over, they could learn their civilization's system in reverse... After all, it won't do if only they learn from my civilization, and I don't learn from theirs. Otherwise, the next time we meet, Medusa and Shi Ji might not keep up with the times. Those people truly learn everything like crazy..."

As Xu Zhi thought this, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I really need to create some balance... I can't just help Caroline and the Seventh-Tier Heavenly Court... I also need to assist the rise of Medusa and the Quantum Jianghu faction. The Cosmic Garden—though it's a newly created transcendent sandbox in my hands—I can't always favor it over the 'biological son' that is the Small Universe World, which has been with me since the beginning, right?"

The Cosmic Garden. The land was verdant and lush, teeming with countless beasts. This vast and boundless land encompassed several planets, and surprisingly, some beings were also present: certain Ninth-Tier existences from the Crystal Wall System Universe, who had descended and were wandering this land.

Hahaha! The little girl was still exercising, swinging her fists, striking millions of times every day. Medusa was still practicing martial arts.

Soon, both of them were called into the study. Sunlight streamed through the window into the study, bathing the dark red carpet in a golden glow. The towering and enormous Renimansgar sat in a chair, his voice booming as he said, "Sixty or seventy years have passed in high-dimensional spacetime since the civilization invasion. How do you feel about it?"

In reality, seventy years in high-dimensional spacetime translated to only about one day in real time since the invasion.

"The wounds of civilization have not yet healed." Medusa pursed her lips, speaking with an air of indifference: "A day has passed, and the Teal Empire, the extraordinary planet Bird... are still dealing with the aftermath of the war and haven't recovered yet. Their high-ranking officials were all taken away, leaving only the old, weak, and disabled common people. Meanwhile, our disciples, the Thirteenth Prince, Nashar, and others, are already striving to help their civilizations." Medusa had never cared about those lower civilizations anyway; she didn't think much of them and felt they could just fend for themselves. She was already too busy with one Crystal Wall System Universe.

Renimansgar smiled, his gaze seemingly piercing through ancient times, and said with a complex expression, "More than a hundred thousand years ago, that divine being, with their Buddhist and Daoist civilization system, was already an unimaginable super-giant in my era. However, when I reawakened, his era had passed, and he had aged... Even though I was not his equal in that era, now that I have revived, I have gradually caught up to him... Not long ago, we even exchanged blows once, and he surprisingly carried a hidden injury... I'm afraid he had previously fought a powerful opponent."

Medusa listened intently. This contained extremely terrifying ancient information. But Renimansgar merely smiled, saying no more, which left Medusa's heart feeling as if it were being tickled. He then said, "Enough with the pleasantries. Let's talk about the real matter. The opponent seems formidable, and we suffered a great loss, but they don't know I secretly left a hidden trick."

"You left some kind of trick?" Medusa asked, surprised.

Renimansgar replied, "Yes, as an existence who has touched the ultimate path, I do have some methods. I have also cultivated quantum martial arts, which are unfathomable. I have already tracked them to their world."

Indeed. Medusa's eyes instantly gleamed with brilliant light! Since he was a close friend of the Evil God, it was only natural that he had already cultivated quantum martial arts. And quantum martial arts were extremely peculiar! Leaving behind some quantum particles, secretly attaching them to follow... They invaded our world and stole our civilization; now it was our turn...

"Father is amazing," Shi Ji said, immediately looking excited.

However, Renimansgar poured cold water on their excitement: "But you must understand, this is not a decisive counterattack. We won't make too many big moves; our main bodies must not descend, or we will surely be detected... However, sending a tiny portion of our quantum battle bodies to infiltrate and lie dormant there will be sufficient."

Renimansgar smiled, "The other side has created a new world. We can go and see it, treat it as a wonderful trip."

"A new world?" Medusa asked.

Renimansgar chuckled, "Yes, the other side has reached a critical juncture, staking everything to develop their civilization and cultivate new successors... While I am unwilling to provoke their civilization's war and stir up trouble for myself... secretly infiltrating without being discovered... then there will be no issues."

Their main bodies would cultivate here, while their quantum battle bodies would go explore. Hearing this, Medusa immediately thought it was a good idea. After all, Shi Ji had also integrated quantum genes and had already manifested a portion of her quantum battle body... and only a fraction of it would be enough for her, an amount roughly equivalent to a single strand of hair... after all, her main body was too vast!

"Adjust your quantum body size... basing it on the minuscule body types of their world," Renimansgar instructed. "Their war has nothing to do with us; we just need to ensure we're not exposed."

"Yes!""Yes!"

He received two affirmative replies.

"Be careful, and remember not to be detected," Renimansgar said softly, extending a hand. A concealed teleportation array subtly appeared, and with gleaming eyes, the two entered it.

Whoosh. They appeared in a living room. Upon entering this world, they discovered a strange yet familiar scene: it seemed as though a supremely powerful enlightened being had covered it with laws, distorting the material density of the world. Their body density was continuously compressing, transforming them into tiny figures. When they came to their senses, they found their father already seated on a sofa, watching a small, quaint-looking television that made clicking sounds.

"Where is this?" Shi Ji's mind reeled. Feeling the environment, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The environment here is highly compressed! This is clearly plagiarizing our Iron-Based Life Clan's body compression techniques!" It was so familiar; how could she not recognize it? This enemy-built civilization was terrifying, utterly shameless. They were actually studying their clan's system and techniques? And using them to build a new world?

At that moment, it wasn't just Shi Ji who was surprised; Medusa also became completely solemn. She looked at the television's antenna and sensed quantum genes. "Not only did they learn from your clan, but they also learned from our Evil God Clan... This world, after coming to our Cosmic Garden, plagiarized and combined the systems of our two major clans!"

How shameless! Absolutely shameless! Their minds were greatly shaken as they looked at this new civilization. At the same time, they felt an inexplicable fear. Despite not acquiring their genes, the opponent had managed to create a similar, yet distinct, effect, which proved how profound their talent and heritage truly were! This world was incredible.

Moreover, their shock didn't end there. On the television screen, a familiar figure soon appeared: Caroline, broadcasting: "This new world has developed for over seventy years, and several beings are already on the path to Ninth Tier, nearing completion. I am here..."

As soon as she finished speaking, both of them felt completely out of touch with the times. Not only had this new world integrated their civilization systems, but it had also developed so terrifyingly. In just over seventy years, from nothing, even weak Ninth-Tier beings were rapidly appearing? It seemed like a fantastical tale.

"Don't get agitated," Renimansgar said softly, sitting on the sofa and gesturing for them to sit beside him and watch the television. "We will observe this mysterious new civilization slowly. All questions will be answered."
