Chapter 977: The World's Crisis

The two quickly composed themselves and sat on the sofa watching TV.

This was not their true forms descending; it was a quantum avatar made of an equal amount of microscopic matter. Otherwise, given their actual weight, the entire sofa would have collapsed long ago.

At the same time, Xu Zhi wasn't worried about his side being discovered.

Here, every powerful individual establishes a protective shield for concealment.

Even Caroline couldn't easily penetrate all the protective formations across the entire world, nor was there any need for her to peer into every monitored situation.

To be a constant eavesdropper?

She wasn't a pervert.

In a sense, this was also one of the few drawbacks of this civilization: everyone established protective shields, hiding in the dark void, never leaving their homes their entire lives. Everyone had the "right to privacy," and no one even knew whether the occupants inside a house were human or ghost.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the TV screen.

Caroline appeared on a certain seat, her eyes calm, and she spoke calmly to the gods of the entire civilization: "Presumably, you have many questions regarding your history. Today, I will provide you with a simple introduction and answers."

This being...

Before the television, all the gods felt a sense of origin and awe.

They clearly felt that this great being, made entirely of white porcelain, was the creator of all life, and they were all its subjects and descendants.

"Is this our ancestor?"

"Is this the great immortal god from the oldest era?"

"And this very 'Patapa Little TV' was created by this being?"

The Seven Great Emperors, Buddhas, and Demon Lords sat before the television, a torrent of questions erupting in their minds!

Medusa also saw this, slightly frowned, and chuckled, "It seems we've arrived just in time. They established this new civilization right after their great battle... Now, we can witness some very interesting things, observe their civilization, and their various advancements."

"Father is still the most amazing," Shi Ji, sitting on Renimansga's lap, watched the TV and huffed crisply, "I was already displeased with that person before... They never imagined that we had secretly infiltrated their civilization to observe them. This time, it's our turn to study their cultivation techniques and systems!"

She gritted her teeth.

"That civilization is too shameless!"

"Others painstakingly developed and deduced civilization systems, cultivation techniques, and bloodlines over countless millions of years, only for them to outright plagiarize them."

Renimansga smiled and said, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles... Although we have no intention of joining their war—getting entangled in a life-or-death conflict that has nothing to do with our own civilization would be too foolish—it doesn't prevent us from secretly studying their civilization and observing their final battle preparations."

Medusa also watched the TV with delight.

Utilizing the unique characteristics of this civilization, secretly observing their civilization from in front of the TV was simply perfect.

Without leaving home, hidden in the shadows, one could know everything happening in this civilization!

There was no fear of being discovered at all.

At this moment, Caroline naturally knew that this official meeting would cause a huge commotion and usher in a new chapter in history, but it was bound to happen eventually.

She spoke to the audience before the screen: "At the very least, all of you are already gods, and many have even embarked on the path of laws. You must have clearly sensed that this world is not old, with a history of less than a hundred years. You are considered the first generation of innate gods of this land."

"You must have been wondering what history was like before? Where did our civilization originate, and what is our purpose?" Caroline sat on her chair, smiled, and said, "Many people think this way. Today, I will simply tell you the answers you seek."

All the gods before the television showed a hint of excitement on their faces.

"Actually, your civilization is less than a hundred years old because your previous civilization, ancestors, and world had already been destroyed once."

Caroline's opening statement brought forth a shocking revelation.

Their previous civilization, their prehistoric people, were all destroyed by unknown enemies? And this current world was re-established to allow them to develop a new civilization?

And who were these enemies?

Their expressions hardened.

Could it be that even such great beings, who created their lives and bestowed them with wisdom, could not resist them?

Caroline continued: "Even though you already possess inherited memories and only need to cultivate, this generation of beings has still given me considerable surprises. In fact... this era is already your era; you can call me an ancient god."

"Prehistoric civilization?"

"Ancient god?"

Before everyone could fully react, even more startling words appeared.

"And this is not the first time such a thing has happened. My own civilization also once faced destruction under similar circumstances... At that time, there was also an ancient god, who, like today, reshaped the civilized world and guided the path of successors... They could call that being... the Super Ancient God!"

"Civilization destroyed more than once?"

Before this prehistoric ancient god... there was an even earlier prehistoric civilization, and a Super Ancient God?

As soon as these words fell, everyone was utterly shocked.

Even Emperor Dongqing, the Selfless Buddha, and various other powerful beings showed a hint of solemnity on their faces.

The initial straightforwardness proved that they were facing an unimaginable crisis of annihilation, and even they might soon face another destruction.

"The Super Ancient God did not choose to meet you... Instead, I, an ancient god, am here to meet you and answer your questions."

Caroline's voice was cold, holding nothing back. "You should also know what you are facing... The inherited memories are already in your minds; you can choose to perfect them, choose to cultivate."

"And some of you gods have already embarked on the path to the ninth stage, even nearing its completion. But I still want to give you some advice: if you have the ability, do not rush to break through. Instead, refine your bloodline and realm, achieving a perfect foundation with the four great bloodlines. Your future achievements can then be higher."

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Dongqing and others fell into deep thought.

They had originally been eager to break through, but now they hesitated.

Shi Ji, watching this scene from in front of the TV, also had a question erupt in her mind and couldn't help but ask, "Our inherited memories also tell us: accumulate as much foundation as possible before breaking through to the ninth stage... Does this greatly affect the ninth-stage realm and the breakthrough to the tenth stage? Is it true that the more complete one's foundation, the greater the chance of breaking through to the tenth stage?"

Xu Zhi was speechless.

It's not about the more complete the foundation of the system, the greater the chance of breaking through to the tenth stage.

It's that if the four genes are not perfected, there's no chance of breaking through to the tenth stage at all!

However, they were indeed misled this way, and it was indeed through this method that they were made to believe so... because acting within one's capabilities is very important.

"Yes, a perfect breakthrough to the ninth stage with all four genes is very helpful for future tenth-stage cultivation...." Xu Zhi could only say this. "If you can't achieve it, there's no need to force it."

"Then I must try my best to remain at the weak ninth stage and diligently perfect my foundation, to have more possibilities in the future!" Shi Ji waved her fist, full of confidence.

Born divine, she was already a high-level god and on the path to the ninth stage, but for her, the path of laws was only the beginning of life.
