Chapter 994: Forbidden Existence's Scheme

This enlightened being, who possessed a perfect Dao foundation, knew the immense significance of the matter. Unable to resist, he secretly signaled and summoned his two Dao companions.

Ranked thirty-seventh, he was already an extremely powerful entity.

His two Dao companions were both from his own race. He had spent over 300,000 years frantically expanding his species, selecting geniuses from countless billions of beings. Their aptitudes were exceptionally strong, and they formed his core team, whom he had personally elevated, both ranking just over one hundred.

Many other council members operated similarly.

While they all resisted external enemies and would not suppress geniuses, it was understandable that they would prioritize their own people with resources, meticulously teaching and nurturing them.

In fact, among the highest-ranking council members, more than a dozen were from their own direct lineages and teams.

Soon after, two beautiful women slowly appeared. "Lord Yuan Yuan, what has happened?"

It was then that everyone learned the name of this being.

"Look at this," Yuan Yuan said, pointing a finger.

Upon receiving the information, the two women were immediately slightly surprised, recognizing its terrifying implications.

After all, while this transcendent system had significant drawbacks, its direct combat power was truly exaggerated.

"The power of the heart! As long as the people behind them cheer and encourage, the Magical Girl's strength will never be exhausted! They can create miracles!" The two women's eyes glinted.

This was equivalent to extraordinarily long combat endurance.

When powerful individuals of their caliber fought, with similar combat strengths, what was the deciding factor?

It was endurance!

It was who had stronger recovery capabilities.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art was a typical example. Why was this technique considered heaven-defying? Why was it still the most powerful heaven-defying technique to this day?

Because of its endurance!

As long as one wasn't instantly and completely killed, even severe injuries could be healed in an instant. It was like having a super-powerful battery inside, capable of hundreds or thousands of recoveries.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art excelled in storing vast amounts of energy!

Did other powerful beings lack energy?

These titans, with lifespans of tens of thousands of years, had accumulated so much wealth that they were essentially enlightened civilizations themselves!

They did not lack energy; what they lacked was rapid recovery ability!

Ordinary powerhouses, who stored energy in spatial rings and other places, refining it into various quickly absorbed elixirs, still faced absorption efficiency limits. In combat, they often couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption, gradually sustaining injuries, leading to serious wounds.

All the resources and wealth stored within their bodies would end up in the enemy's hands.

But the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art was different.

Its energy conversion efficiency was incredibly fast. Countless spirits, common people, and ordinary folk within the practitioner would dedicate their power, allowing for instant recovery. Even if someone were killed, all their resources and wealth would certainly have been exhausted, leaving nothing behind!

At this moment,

The Incense Dragon Vein was a super-weakened version of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, also capable of rapid recovery. How could these powerful beings not see its formidable nature?

"This civilization system is incredibly powerful!"

"It can actually convert one's lifelong accumulated wealth and treasures into living beings, who then stand behind you, providing energy and recovery!"

"This is infinitely faster than directly absorbing energy supplements from spatial storage during combat!"

The two Dao companions began to discuss.

At this point, the being ranked thirty-seventh took a deep breath and looked around, saying, "For powerhouses of our level, resources are abundant, but we simply cannot utilize them effectively to form combat power; they merely accumulate, leading to a surplus. However, this civilization before us is very special!"

He even felt a desire to cultivate it himself.

One must understand, he was already a four-gene perfected life form, but this transcendent system was not a gene cultivation technique; rather, it was an energy transmission channel.

It was a form bestowed by others.

Similar to the "Abyssal Blue Divine Race," where other beings with that gene would grant an "eternal life" buff to themselves.

They were extremely powerful, and in an instant, they saw through all of the Magical Girl's confidence:

Why couldn't they part with the Magical Girl?

Because not only was her utility great, but she also didn't occupy a gene slot; the other party could use their own gene bloodline to bestow a buff upon you.

This kind of gene was incredibly heaven-defying. In gaming terms, it was like a non-combat priest skill that applied a status buff to you from behind.

And the Alchemist Emperor's Primordial Essence was also a status.

And the Alchemist Factory's bloodline plug-in was also a status.

This was the power of the Zerg: gene evolution bloodlines, infinite possibilities. Therefore, many bloodlines found externally were unimaginably heaven-defying, and the gene pool accumulated by the Zerg was the most powerful treasure in the universe.

After all, the probability of naturally occurring random bloodlines being powerful was too low; it was entirely up to fate. However, there were indeed powerful ones, such as the Iron-based gene and the Abyssal Blue gene currently before them.

"It's like the Abyssal Blue Divine Race's status, a second powerful heaven-defying bloodline that can grant blessings to others."

The taboo existence ranked thirty-seventh smiled and said to his two Dao companions, "It seems, logically speaking, we must explain this to all council members, and also to the Three Great Celestials, to report the situation. If I'm not mistaken, the Fourth Great Celestial might be about to emerge."

Beside them, Lan Erman and the others were greatly alarmed. "This!?"

"Isn't this quite normal?"

This being smiled and said, "This bloodline certainly has significant drawbacks and is naturally not as good as the bloodlines of the Three Great Abyssal Blue Celestials, as true power lies in eternal life. However, it's not far behind."

"At the same time, once this bloodline becomes known, the Three Great Celestials will undoubtedly seize control of it immediately." This being chuckled, "They will promptly establish a Fourth Celestial, whose status will be just below theirs. They will curry favor with this civilization to bring it under their control."

Beside him, Lan Erman's expression changed subtly, and a terrifying thought flashed through his mind.

This so-called Fourth Celestial would be a puppet!

The implication was that the Three Great Celestials intended to act against the Magical Girl civilization!

But they wouldn't act directly.

Because a race's bloodline could not be directly seized.

For example, Iron-based life forms stole and integrated Evil God genes as their second gene fusion, but their offspring were single-gene life forms who would not inherit the second gene.

However, they could capture this civilization and use them as breeding stock, continuously extracting genes for others to integrate.

Many promising civilizations in the universe, even before they fully developed, were subjected to such fates, leading to lives worse than death. This was absolutely not uncommon; in fact, it was the norm!

This bloodline was no longer significantly weaker than that of the Abyssal Blue race itself, and it was also of the type that could be used by others.

The Three Great Celestials, fearing this, might use the pretext of "Fourth Celestial" to firmly grasp the second core "divine authority" as well.

"But in this manner, reporting to the Supreme Council and the Three Great Celestials, would you truly be content?" At this moment, the taboo existence revealed a knowing smile.

All present felt a prickling sensation on their scalps.

"You mean to..." the two Dao companions began, asking.

"It's unrealistic for us to resist the Three Great Celestials. And this Fourth Magical Girl Celestial, although effectively under house arrest and used as breeding stock to provide bloodline, the Three Great Celestials will outwardly maintain a gentle demeanor, offering preferential treatment and showing respect for talent.

"And if she truly becomes powerful in the future, the Three Great Celestials won't suppress her; sooner or later, she will sit as an equal with them, becoming the true Fourth Celestial," this being chuckled.

How clever he was!

While she was weak in the early stages, the Three Great Celestials would undoubtedly divide her interests. However, if she rose to power, they would also grant her the rights of a true Fourth Celestial.

This was because this race could not be suppressed indefinitely, as their own people would be needed to provide the bloodline.

But how long would it take for this Fourth Celestial to truly rise and reach the pseudo-Tenth tier realm of the Three Great Celestials, sitting as their equal?

Hundreds of thousands of years?

Millions of years?

The Three Great Celestials were very adept at making empty promises, leaving the Fourth Celestial as a weak figurehead.

"Then, what about us...?" someone couldn't help but interject.

"We cannot stop it, but we can delay reporting it. We can build good relations with this future Fourth Great Celestial, help her grow, and even occupy one of those fewer-than-ten Magical Girl slots ourselves!"

Everyone's breathing became shallow, their expressions grave.

It was clear that the taboo existence, who had summoned his two Dao companions, would not let them take precedence.

And "Magical Girl" was clearly a status that race bestowed upon others using their bloodline, much like the time-stasis experienced when residing in the "Abyssal Blue" core council area.

However, the "Abyssal Blue" time-stasis field was localized; anyone within that particular area could receive the buff.

That in itself was a powerful offensive method: in the opponent's domain, your time would be paused. Here, it was merely being used for cultivation.

The current one, however, was clearly a slot-based blessing. It was unknown if there were limitations based on distance from the bloodline source.

"However, let's not rush. Our attitude must be good; the two of you must not be arrogant. Also, I will first extract the bloodline to examine it."

Yuan Yuan's eyes flashed.

His combat power was so exaggerated that while they were still discussing it in the square, before anyone could react, he directly extracted Magical Girl Viola's bloodline for rapid analysis.

"It's not this one. The ordinary female creature is indeed buff-oriented, meaning that even a four-gene perfected being like us can have this opportunity. So, it must be this magical pet, Kyubey." His gaze swept over the creature.

Frowning slightly, he didn't fully understand but still noticed an anomaly: "I see the source of power is in Kyubey's two small rabbit-like ears. Are they like antennas?"

He gently scraped off some "Tycoon Gold" Dragon Vein essence and began to research it, even attempting to integrate it into weaker creatures, but he couldn't succeed.

"It can't be integrated. How can this golden bloodline be impossible to integrate?"

He was utterly perplexed.

In reality, the Alchemist Factory of "Akina Mountain Speed" was originally a pirated Dragon Vein, his "Tycoon Gold" product, and he was very particular about copyright.

His "Tycoon Gold" creatures had a unique characteristic: no other creature could integrate with them.

After all, how could one integrate a cloned, inferior version of a bloodline?

It was impossible.

This was why he had no fear of his bloodline being stolen or lost.

"It seems this civilization is very special. If we cannot integrate their genes, we can only try to communicate or set our sights on the Magical Girl slots."

If possible, he and his two Dao companions could try to occupy three slots, on a first-come, first-served basis.

"We need to summon her first." The being paused in thought, then with a wave of his hand, Viola, who was still outside researching and publicizing the glory of Magical Girls, was instantly teleported in.

Kyubey and Viola appeared where they stood.
