Chapter 224: Phoenix Thinking of Home

Becoming a Primordial Saint requires an immense amount of energy. Perhaps, if she had been greedily siphoning off stipends and rebates from various imperial courts within the ley lines of the entire Primordial World for hundreds of years, she might indeed have achieved it.

Immediately, a group of people started cursing the "Emperor of Luck."

"Comparing yourself to others is infuriating! The Alchemy Emperor, the speed demon from Mount Akina, and all the red-named players who've fought tooth and nail – none of them got such a heaven-defying opportunity... But Moe Girl, doing absolutely nothing, just rides the waves of every era. She casually reached the peak and became the Earth Mother from the start, and now, after lying around for a few hundred years, she's become the Master of the Heavenly Dao, broken through to Heavenly Emperor, and even has the chance to become a Primordial Saint? (How frustrating!)"

"Damn it! This is unheard of! I've only ever heard of the three paths to sainthood: 'sanctification by merit,' 'sanctification by severing three corpses,' and 'sanctification by proving the Dao with power.' I've never heard of a method to become a saint by sheer luck!"

"The strongest casual player in history! She hasn't killed a single person, can't even fight... The Lucky Moe Girl!"

"Dog developer, get out here! You must have set her luck stat to 9999, right? Are you lusting after Moe Girl's beauty?! Are you acting on impulse because of her looks?"

"Game developer, if you need someone, you can make a private deal with me; I'm also a cute moe girl! (Blushing)"

Many people were agitated.

This was too exaggerated. Those who worked hard didn't succeed, but the "slacker" reached the pinnacle of life.

Moe Girl's Supporter: "Hehehe, you jealous haters! You're just envious of our great Moe Girl. Do you even know how hard our Moe Girl works?! (Angry)"

"Go die, lickspittle!"

Countless people became even more distraught.

Xu Zhi also felt a bit bewildered. "This time, it truly has nothing to do with me. Could it be immense luck bestowed upon her?"

Things were unpredictable; Xu Zhi himself hadn't expected it to develop this way.

He reviewed the situation.

"This person is an Emperor of Luck. If things continue this way, she might truly become the first 'lying-down saint' in history. Although she's weak, no one dares to attack her or seize her opportunity for enlightenment. After all, Moe Girl is blessed with immense merit, and as the World Tree, she once protected all living beings for hundreds of years. Now, she's also the Master of the Heavenly Dao. Who would dare lay a hand on her?"

If allowed to continue, she might genuinely become a Primordial Saint, supreme in all of heaven and earth.

"The first Primordial Saint among players?" Xu Zhi was truly speechless. He found the situation's development too bizarre, and seeing the bustling player forum, he was unsure how to handle it for now.

None of them were easy to manage.

Everyone was causing trouble. He had just finished dealing with Emperor Qi's situation, and now this side was giving him a headache again.

If it were other hostile players, he certainly wouldn't let them become saints. But should he stop a normal, individual player?

He could stop it once now, but what about the future?

He needed to establish a clear policy sooner rather than later.

Xu Zhi raised an eyebrow. "What would happen if a player became a Primordial Saint?"

The intelligent sub-brain's voice came through:

"In our Zerg system, there are five genetic tiers corresponding to five levels of life. A Primordial Saint is a second-tier life form, a qualitative change. Once sanctified, the player will completely transform into a Zerg life form, with their physical body in reality becoming a mere appendage."

Xu Zhi asked, "So the body in reality is the appendage, and the self within the sandbox is the true body? This means the primary and secondary roles are reversed. If the physical body in reality dies, it's not true death, but if the saintly body in the sandbox dies, then it's real death?"

The Zerg Nest sub-brain replied: "Yes."

Xu Zhi understood.

He thought for a moment. "Let's just leave it alone for now. After all, it's just a possibility, and achieving Primordial Sainthood is still incredibly far off. Furthermore, I currently don't believe Moe Girl's abilities are sufficient to bear the mantle of a saint. It would consume too much world energy, so this saintly position needs careful consideration."

At this moment, the Zerg Nest sub-brain suddenly said, "There's an urgent matter requiring the attention of the Zerg Mother Queen."

"What urgent matter?" Xu Zhi stood up, went to the refrigerator, and took out another can of Phoenix Spiritual Tea. He had been drinking it for so long that very little was left, only seven bottles, so he still needed to conserve it.

The Zerg Nest sub-brain's voice came again: "Mother Queen, please look at the Phoenix Spiritual Tea you're drinking."

Xu Zhi froze for a moment, then slowly looked down.

The next second, he was instantly horrified!

On the mineral water bottle of Phoenix Spiritual Tea, a black Daoist pattern array, the size of a bottle cap, had silently appeared. Its intricate lines were naturally formed, exquisite and ancient, with endless profoundness, as if containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

The intelligent sub-brain replied:

"This is a spatial teleportation array created by the Phoenix. It uses this to pinpoint a location across space and traverse dimensions!"

Xu Zhi: "..."

So, she had actually located his refrigerator...

The intelligent sub-brain explained again: "The coordinates are highly random, but there's a strong probability that it will locate objects related to one's own aura, so..."

"I understand now. So, the Phoenix located her bathwater?" Xu Zhi realized, and couldn't help but take another sip from the Phoenix Spiritual Tea bottle to calm his nerves. "At least she didn't pinpoint my stomach."

However, his previous worries had materialized. At the time, he had merely encouraged her to independently research cross-world travel, but the Phoenix, with her immense research enthusiasm, had actually succeeded. She truly lived up to her title as the progenitor of spatial systems.

*Whoosh.*

With a wave of Xu Zhi's hand, mental energy surged, wiping away the positioning array on the mineral water bottle.

He slowly shifted his gaze toward the Phoenix.

At this very moment, within the Phoenix's inner space, birds chirped and flowers bloomed, and countless insects, fish, birds, and beasts thrived, creating an extremely tranquil and beautiful fairyland.

In front of an ancient-style thatched hut, on the verdant grass, a woman in ancient attire sat at a wooden table, a flower in her hair, her face showing delight. "I've succeeded! I've pinpointed a location in another space."

"Indeed, my theory was correct. Our inner spaces are opened within an entirely new dimension of space-time; it's just that the entrance coordinates are within our bodies."

"What if, after we enter this space, we change the spatial coordinates of the entrance? Where would we emerge after exiting the inner space?"

This was a terrifying field of study.

It was highly probable that one could appear in an unknown dimensional location, or even be lost in unknown space, exiled completely.

For now, she dared not change the existing spatial entrance coordinates, fearing she wouldn't be able to return. Instead, she merely established another set of spatial coordinates within her existing inner space, pinpointing a real-world location, and then opened it.

This created a system where the original entrance coordinates and the newly established exit coordinates formed a spatial tunnel, allowing one to traverse between two worlds.

At this time, the house contained numerous books, densely packed onto every bookshelf. These were the texts of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, which she had secretly copied and studied long ago.

"Their Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art uses positioning calculations to open up space... I, however, have reversed it, using already opened space to, in turn, pinpoint a real-world location, forming a spatial tunnel for spatial traversal!"

At this very moment, she had already calculated and located a set of coordinates that wasn't in this world, but instinctively, she felt it wasn't very far.

"Pinpointing coordinates requires extremely daunting calculations and energy, taking several months... Should I cross over?" She had just taken a deep breath, but the next second, those spatial coordinates suddenly vanished.

"How is this possible!?"

Startled, she quickly stood up from the wooden table and began checking for errors. "I'll spend another three months; I must succeed."

At this moment, Xu Zhi was utterly speechless. He reopened the refrigerator and saw another bottle of Phoenix Spiritual Tea, on which a spatial array was gradually appearing out of thin air, once again pinpointing a location across space.

"Again?"

"What is going on?"

"You were born in the oven and became a Fire Phoenix before, and now you want to enter the refrigerator and become an Ice Phoenix?"

Speechless, Xu Zhi thought for a moment, took out this bottle of Phoenix Spiritual Tea, opened the cap, and drank it all in one gulp.

This time, he didn't erase the spatial coordinates. Instead, a ripple of witchcraft flickered in his hand, and the mineral water bottle was cut, leaving only the spatial array on a piece of transparent plastic.

"It seems you're homesick..."

He casually tossed the positioning array.

*Whoosh.*

A transparent piece of the mineral water bottle was thrown to the edge of the Wizarding World, into a vast, verdant mountain range.

"This time, I actually succeeded again!!"

At this moment, Phoenix Dao Lord was overjoyed.

Her heart was filled with excitement and exhilaration; being able to traverse space would have a profound impact on her life.

"I am about to leave the Primordial World and enter the myriad realms, beginning my journey!"

Her expression suddenly became incredibly calm. "I hope that world doesn't have any saint-level beings, or if it does, that they aren't too powerful."
