Chapter 204: Send Him to Outer Space

Although several of the twelve Ancestral Witches had already died, the energy left by their deaths was carried by the remaining Ancestral Witches. If all of them were to die, the accumulated energy would be no less than that of all living beings in this entire world. Since Emperor Qi had already ventured to the Great Luo Heaven and was intercepted, he could kill the other Ancestral Witches and use their energy to ascend to the Primal Chaos state!

Once he became an eighth-level Primal Chaos Saint, he could easily return and kill Dao Changsheng!

"Quick, stop him!"

"It's useless, Dao Changsheng is no match for him now."

Despair filled the air. If Emperor Qi was to achieve enlightenment, he couldn't be stopped; they could only leave it to fate.

The Great Luo Heaven.

At this moment, Emperor Qi, bathed in blood, looked at the Ancestral Witches, who were terrified to their core.

"You are no match for me. I have secretly learned your ultimate techniques, assimilated them, and forged them into the Great Luo True Scripture, which encompasses all aspects of the world. I have already surpassed you in your own domains. I know every one of your flaws and fatal weaknesses." Emperor Qi strode forward, his expression calm. "You won't last more than a few moves against me."

Boom!

After a long moment, the earth suddenly fell silent.

Emperor Qi looked at the corpses of the Ancestral Witches before him. He had killed each of the Heavenly Emperors. If it weren't for Dao Changsheng's tenacious vitality, even his Indestructible Golden Body would have been shattered by a single blow.

Emperor Qi’s expression was calm. "It's a pity, this energy is still not enough. I'm missing the energy of one last Heavenly Emperor to achieve the Primal Chaos state."

He couldn't help but murmur, looking at the Moon God beside him, "Originally, there was enough energy in this world for two to ascend to the Primal Chaos state. I had planned to deceive these Ancestral Witches into slaughtering everyone for me, and then kill them to allow both you and me to transcend. But unfortunately, now it's not enough."

The Moon God looked at him and suddenly smiled. "I'm almost dead from old age, and you happen to be missing the energy of one last Heavenly Emperor... You can kill me, and then you can ascend to the Primal Chaos state."

Emperor Qi shook his head and chuckled softly, "If I were to lose you, what good would achieving the Primal Chaos state do me?"

With a tender expression, Emperor Qi looked at the Ancestral Witch corpses on the ground and said softly, "Since there isn't enough energy for one Primal Chaos Saint, let's preserve it for now. I will re-emerge in a hundred years; by then, no one will be my match."

"Let's go back to our life."

He smiled, pointing to the Moon Palace in the distant Great Luo Heaven, where birds sang and flowers bloomed. "Ruyun, I told you, no matter how the world changes, even if it's destroyed, as long as we can survive, I will keep us alive. I want to build the most beautiful palace for you, where we can live happily..."

The Moon God gazed calmly at Emperor Qi and slowly nodded. She knew clearly that Long Hong was the Heavenly Emperor with the strongest aptitude throughout history, unsurpassed by any other; his potential far exceeded that of any other Heavenly Emperor. Yet, for Long Hong's sake, Emperor Qi still chose to continue his hibernation.

In the orchard.

Xu Zhi was sitting in the living room, looking at his computer, sipping spirit tea, and eating "funeral chicken" snacks, which were sweet and delicious. Suddenly, he froze.

"Emperor Qi."

Xu Zhi was also stunned. "Is this even human?"

It wasn't just the invariably successful opportunistic players who suffered heavy losses at his hands; even Xu Zhi was shocked by his performance!

Oh my god...

I really didn't design this boss!

"This cheat is terrifying! Learning as he fights, it's shameless," Xu Zhi said, speechless, finding such an existence utterly insane.

The nearby intelligent sub-brain chimed in, "This is someone who truly possesses the aptitude of an Insectoid Hero."

Xu Zhi took a deep breath, his expression suddenly calm.

This means his talent could potentially reach the ultimate five-gene level?

An Insectoid Hero is a terrifying and world-shaking prodigy, born from countless billions of insectoid creatures on a massive planet. Each of these prodigies possesses their own formidable talents and strengths. Yet, after only two worlds, an Insectoid Hero with true aptitude, a replication prodigy—Emperor Qi—has emerged so quickly!

Phoenix and the Cthulhu Evil God both have four-gene talents, exceptionally gifted. However, at most, they can only be considered pseudo-Insectoid Heroes, possessing the potential to further develop into true Insectoid Heroes. But possessing potential doesn't guarantee they can take that final step. They merely have a high starting point.

The one with the most promise, surprisingly, is Emperor Qi. Although he currently has only one gene slot, his talent is terrifyingly prodigious.

"I didn't expect this time, a hidden monster would be exposed!" Xu Zhi felt somewhat surprised but also found it tricky.

But a future Insectoid Hero suddenly appearing in the sandbox game is completely disrupting the game's balance. Such beings are supposed to be born on vast, enormous planets, yet you suddenly appear in my small orchard. What are you doing here?

Now, even with players creating the Pangu Golden Body, combining a world's technological civilization, and incorporating the wisdom gathered by a group of players from the Wizard World, they still can't defeat him. What's more, he's secretly learned their skills and declared that he will re-emerge in a hundred years to finish them off!

"This is truly the legendary protagonist of heaven and earth, and a hundred years later... isn't that just one day for me?" Xu Zhi took a deep breath, feeling utterly flabbergasted. It's one thing for players to defy heaven, but now even a native character is causing trouble?

It's not that Xu Zhi doesn't want Emperor Qi to win, but he's too buggy and disrupts the version balance too much. Right now, there are hardly any pseudo-heroes, and you suddenly have a monster with hero-level aptitude, it's like bringing a Gatling gun to a kindergarten...

Furthermore, Xu Zhi seriously suspected that after Emperor Qi achieved enlightenment, he might even pull out his own mentor and benefactor, Dao Lord Phoenix, and utterly defeat her... This was highly probable. After all, even though Phoenix had been a Primal Chaos Saint for several centuries, she might not be a match for this cheat-like individual. He could fight while secretly learning Phoenix's research findings, then quickly surpass her! If he were to beat up the Dao Lord who created the world, wouldn't that be a huge slap in the face?

And now, Phoenix was researching space travel. As the ultimate master of inner space, she was the first to cultivate, naturally achieving the highest accomplishments. She had already made progress, beginning to perform short-distance space jumps, and aimed to break through dimensions to travel to the myriad worlds... What if Emperor Qi secretly learned Phoenix's research, surpassed her, and actually managed to escape the orchard, using space jumps to bypass the hive's designated activity range, reach Earth, and even try to fight me?!

Xu Zhi made a sad expression. "Is this the formidable aptitude of an Insectoid Hero? If there's no external interference, are they destined to be invincible in every realm, sweeping through everything, and very likely reaching the ultimate five-gene level?"

The emergence of an Insectoid Hero was indeed an SSR-tier hero for Xu Zhi, extremely precious, but now he couldn't control him! Xu Zhi held the power of life and death over him, able to control his genetic breakdown, but he couldn't control his consciousness and thoughts. What Emperor Qi chose to do was his own business. And directly eliminating him would be too much of a waste. One must know that even during the peak of the previous generation's Insectoid Queen, there weren't many Insectoid Heroes under her command. Each one was incredibly precious, and if one died, the Insectoid Queen would grieve for countless ages.

"A happy dilemma."

Xu Zhi coughed twice. "I'm still too weak right now. The only thing limiting his current realm is a lack of energy. Once he achieves the Primal Chaos state and becomes an eighth-level Mythical being, he'll be free as a bird, and even Phoenix will be crushed by him."

"His talent is too heaven-defying... No, I should seal him away, slow down his time flow to a one-to-one ratio, and then, once the world rises and I become stronger, release this powerful figure?"

Xu Zhi sat in his chair, deep in thought. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he looked out at the clear blue sky outside the window. The orchard was too small; his presence inside was too disruptive to the balance of the entire orchard world. Perhaps it would be better to throw him out of the orchard, let him develop on his own, and fend for himself?

"One small step for man, one giant leap for Earth!"

Xu Zhi looked at the sky, full of vigor, and stood up. "Perhaps I can send Emperor Qi away, let him take his wife, carry a Great Luo Heaven, and wander into the depths of outer space to show off their affection. It's a vacuum out there; he can drift freely, and no one will be able to secretly copy or learn from him. Let him mess around on his own!"

Xu Zhi immediately thought his idea was brilliant: send him with a mini-world to develop in outer space. However, a moment later, a hint of worry appeared on his face. "This terrifying mastermind is too cunning. He has spanned across epochs, calmly observing the rise and fall of countless heroes. What if he goes into outer space, encounters Saiyans or Trisolarans, and starts secretly learning from them again?"
