Chapter 978: Strange Cosmic Civilization

After a discussion, they sat back on the sofa and looked at the television.

On screen, Caroline, unaware of any anomalies, paused momentarily, allowing her audience to process the information. She then stated, "As for your concerns about spiritual energy, there's no need to worry. The ancient gods will continue to replenish its concentration, ensuring a period of rapid civilizational development. Divine beings will emerge as quickly as they have been."

This was incredibly good news.

Yet, it also implied that the disaster they faced was likely unimaginably immense.

It was foreseeable that the coming era would be one of explosive civilization, inspiring the rise of countless talents and peerless heroes.

Caroline smiled and continued, "Cultivating in isolation is ultimately not advisable. You are familiar with your own systems and combat methods, but you have never witnessed the development of other worlds and civilizations. In recent years, I have discovered a completely new, unknown civilization. Is it strong? Is it weak? How exactly does it fare? Even I am not entirely sure, but this will be a test for all of you. You will have approximately fifty years to prepare."

As her words settled, many viewers in front of their televisions were utterly captivated by the topic.

The moment Caroline finished speaking, she decisively cut the live broadcast.

This left the host beside her looking utterly awkward, having dared not utter a single word throughout the entire broadcast. It simply showed how ruthless Caroline was; how many years had this civilization even developed? Was she just throwing them into the deep end like this? The host could only address the viewers with an embarrassed expression: "And so, today's 'Focus Interview' concludes here. I trust everyone has gained some understanding of our lost history. In our next 'Focus Interview,' we will invite our television station's renowned screenwriter, Old Xu, to discuss the upcoming new 'Film and Television Entertainment' column and its new program content. Please look forward to it!"

Medusa frowned slightly upon seeing this, then chuckled, "It seems they've found another new civilization after ours. They truly never rest."

"Hmph, they're just desperate to train their forces and rapidly increase their strength," Shiji huffed, displeased.

After all, she was extremely hostile towards these wicked beings who so brazenly stole the civilizational systems of her own race and the Evil God race!

It was utterly shameless!

Especially seeing this biological world, where creatures frantically compressed their forms to become incredibly tiny, made her furious. Wasn't this precisely the core cultivation method of her Iron-Base race?

Their bodies, comparable to half a star, were compressed to a mere ten meters in size.

What about them?

Bodies the size of ants were now compressed to the size of bacteria.

"I'm absolutely fuming!" Shiji gnashed her teeth in anger.

Driven by her inherited racial pride, she tugged at Medusa, who was beside her, exclaiming furiously, "They even learned Sister's cultivation method, created a small television, and quantum battle bodies are everywhere! We must be irreconcilable enemies with them!"

"Yes, irreconcilable. We'll beat them to death," Medusa said with a laugh, though somewhat perfunctorily. Shiji had a sense of racial pride, but Medusa did not, as she wasn't from the Evil God race.

Nevertheless, she remained somewhat wary, glancing at Reinmansgar, who was seated next to them.

Her daughter was, after all, too young, her emotions transparent. If her daughter was so enraged, how could her father not be furious? For this race, it was their greatest taboo.

Yet, this being was calmly watching television, indicating a mind so profound that no emotion registered on his face.

Medusa's heart tightened involuntarily.

"I am still too young after all," she thought, "not as profound as a super-cosmic being who has lived for over a hundred thousand years."

She covertly glanced sideways at Reinmansgar, who was still calmly sipping tea, looking utterly relaxed, even eating fruit, as he watched the television.

"Such patience," she mused, "he probably truly doesn't want to get involved in this. Is he pretending not to see, waiting for the war between their two worlds to conclude, then profiting as a third party? And only then settling scores?"

"What a ruthless and patient disposition!"

Medusa took a deep breath, feeling a chill run down her spine as if a ferocious beast was staring at her. But she wasn't easily intimidated. On the surface, she smiled and responded to the young girl's indignation, while inwardly she continued to ponder. For beings of this caliber, revenge was never too late, even after tens of thousands of years — a lesson certainly worth learning.

For the next few days, life in that house was quite leisurely.

They watched television daily.

The afternoon's "Focus Interview," the midday's "Daily News," reporting on where strong individuals were fighting, competing, and who had killed whom...

"This world is great; the fights are incredibly wild,"

"A major battle breaks out over a single disagreement, a fight to the death. This atmosphere is already akin to the Quantum Jianghu."

"Isn't it just learning from the Quantum Jianghu?"

Medusa and Shiji gradually came to understand the structure of this world, greatly astonished and very interested.

Each outer great domain was composed of towering structures, leading them to deduce that this was a 'super-world' distorted, developed, compressed, and warped by a great cosmic Ascended being.

"Caroline has already broken through to the Ninth-Tier Ascended Realm. I'm afraid I'd be beaten to death just by meeting her," Medusa chuckled. This was a realm suppression, even if it was true that she was invincible within her own tier.

"Yes, our four-gene perfected Ninth-Tier breakthrough is incredibly powerful, and many bloodline systems are also extraordinary, so it's not wise to make enemies," Shiji muttered, also very excited.

As they discussed, the two began to study the other's system and civilization, looking for merits to learn from and adapt.

The True Qi civilization, needless to say, was impressive.

With their use of various True Qi techniques and Qigong cannons, they certainly had their advantages.

However, this didn't suit the Iron-Base civilization's life forms. So Shiji turned her attention to the radiation gene, murmuring, "This gene actually suits our race well. We Iron-Bases cultivate field energy by collapsing our forms. With radiation, and considering this enhanced radiation gene, called 'All-Race Cells,' bears a slight resemblance to us."

She was taken with the versatile All-Race Cells.

After all, All-Race Cells were comprehensive in all daily aspects, possessed strong overall abilities, and boasted exaggerated defensive power.

"It's very good and very suitable for you," Medusa commented.

"Hmph, hmph, they couldn't get our Iron-Base race's genes, so they modified their All-Race Cell genes to shrink like us. But while they couldn't get our genes, we can get theirs!" Shiji's eyes sparkled. The entire tower was composed of All-Race Cells; all creatures were pixel cells.

They were ubiquitous.

"Dual fusion, what will my cell structure become?" Little Shiji's face was filled with surprise and anticipation. After all, cosmic genes were ever-changing, and combining them could very well lead to wondrous chemical reactions.

"Iron-Base is black, All-Race is white. Combining their cells would be a black and white mix. I feel you'll look rather unique," Medusa remarked casually. "You need to think carefully. Your first gene is Iron-Base, your second is Quantum. Are you sure your third gene will be All-Race?"

Shiji nodded vigorously like a chick pecking rice. "This is it."

Xu Zhi sat beside them, still watching television and listening to their discussion, feeling that life was quite leisurely.

Sitting in the room, observing their covert research, watching the development of this tower world civilization, and even witnessing their contact with new cosmic civilizations?

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Caroline was traversing the void.

Based on certain core inheritances from the Teal Empire, she had arrived early at a new set of coordinates, surrounded by a desolate expanse of meteorites and debris.

She needed to explore first and confirm the information.

She remained highly vigilant. Her main body did not appear; instead, she had detached a small portion of her quantum battle body, which was very weak, possessing only the aura of a low-level deity, to explore this space-time.

She briefly recalled the information she had received:

"It was extremely bizarre and mysterious. It was said that forty thousand years ago, this nomadic civilization passed by the Teal Civilization. They were very friendly, and several indescribable beings descended from their spacecraft, giving a profoundly unsettling impression. At the time, everyone had forgotten the appearance of the beings from those cosmic spacecraft, retaining only the impression of 'deep blue.' It was truly strange; how could the memory of a creature's appearance be just a color? Furthermore, that mysterious alien civilization had studied their civilizational structure and then departed. The Teal Civilization even secretly tracked them for a period without being detected."

No matter how she thought about it, it felt somewhat unsettling.

Her gaze suddenly fell upon a planet, a very primitive, ordinary planet where the inhabitants seemed to be entering a period of development. "Is this just an ordinary life-bearing planet? According to the coordinates, shouldn't a nomadic-level civilization be here?"

A nomadic-level civilization, commonly referred to as a Ninth-Tier civilization, could twist cosmic laws, allowing them to carry their own civilization planet, traverse countless voids, constantly settle, and jump to more resource-rich locations to mine resources.

"An ordinary planet..." She found it strange. She closed her eyes slightly, quietly sensing everything, and then felt an extremely uneasy tremor within her. "Though extremely faint, it gave me the same feeling I had when I encountered the Emperor."

Her expression hardened completely, and she felt a sense of dread.

Yes, it gave her the feeling of encountering someone similar to the Emperor, a ten-gene life form.
