Outside, discussions were fervent. Everyone had been wondering about one thing: the Slime Alchemist Emperor had been missing for too long—a full two months. This was clearly more than just taking a break to recuperate.

Could it be that he was busy in the real world and couldn't get away? Or was he investigated by the authorities? Or was he brewing a major plan? There were all sorts of speculations. If he hadn't occasionally appeared on the forums to participate in real-time discussions, everyone would have thought he was dead.

In reality, Li Shengjiang truly was busy. After exiting the game, unlike other traditional players who opted for a second "new life" in-game, he chose to focus on developing reality. As an entrepreneur, he was a pragmatic person. After all, the development of civilization and technology on Earth was paramount, and he understood its profound implications. To put it grandly, it was a great endeavor to benefit humanity and future generations, which was indeed true. The future of Earth would change because of this.

Previously, he had been at a loss, but the emergence of martial arts in the Three Realms subtly gave him an opportunity and an idea. However, there were two main challenges with the martial arts system: first, the need for spiritual energy to nourish the body; and second, the requirement of spiritual sense to observe oneself internally and conduct comprehensive training.

For spiritual energy replenishment, he successfully developed a special alchemical potion. Combining it with ancient traditional Chinese medicine formulas and countless precious herbs, he managed to provide some nourishment to the body, though the effect was extremely poor. He even speculated that ancient people had also tried to develop along these lines, which might have led to similar rudimentary forms of cultivation.

But the second challenge—replacing spiritual sense to perform internal self-observation—how easy was that? This was the most difficult part! Ancient martial artists, despite researching body-nourishing remedies, couldn't achieve this step, absolutely because of the spiritual sense. Modern technology could barely achieve it. X-rays were the best common method, but they couldn't provide the precision needed to train every tiny muscle group or bone. To achieve that level of detail, one might literally have to dissect a person! To see which muscles weren't trained and implement a comprehensive exercise plan—the essence of martial arts was that qualitative transformation only occurred through holistic evolution. But to dissect someone, then sew them back up, and continue cultivating? That's ridiculous! The path of scientific progress is always fraught with challenges.

Ultimately, Li Shengjiang combined alchemy with a complex electrical signal detection system and feedback from electrotherapy. By monitoring various bodily resistances like a radar scan, he could barely begin cultivation. However, many minute details remained untrainable... this was already the limit! Only now, after testing it themselves, did they truly understand how vast the gap was between Earth's modern technology, which barely reached a very low threshold, and the Three Realms.

Li Shengjiang murmured, looking at the players around him, "The real-world cultivation system is barely sorted out; we can start cultivating, but the effect is very poor! Still, after cultivating, the body will transform, and in another seven or eight years, we might reach the Third Tier, produce spiritual sense, and replace these crude devices... Generating the first person's spiritual sense in the early stages is the most difficult! Subsequent individuals can then learn from the martial arts sects in the Three Realms, with masters guiding apprentices, using spiritual sense to scan and instruct newcomers... However, while it seems we've made a start, martial arts cultivation is the most difficult and rigorous of all systems. Developing this way, it would take decades to become strong! Look at the Three Realms; it takes centuries there. Achieving that in reality is too distant..."

Li Shengjiang stirred his large stick, looking at the slightly warm water tank, silently organizing his thoughts. He also saw the future that Xu Zhi had envisioned. "Now, I've just spent some precious time planting a seed that will only bloom in over a decade. By then, who knows what Earth will have become."

Having finished his real-world tasks, he finally chose to re-enter the game. Gurgle! He boiled warm water, allowing creatures to evolve within it. Then, he collected some skin flakes and tissues from various evolved creatures across the entire sandbox, giving them to him for research and experimentation, seemingly to concoct some alchemical potion.

Everyone outside exclaimed in surprise. "Holy cow, judging by this setup, the big shot wasn't prepared at all and is only now officially starting to research his own new potential species?" "So what was he busy with for the past two months?" "Right now, is he going to study all of our potential species as alchemical materials, and directly set up an alchemy lab here? Using life alchemy methods, combining alchemy? Evolving new species?"

It was like an evil wizard tinkering with a large vat, adding various potions, and allowing species to evolve and take shape within it. "The frozen wasteland version of the evolution sandbox, the alchemy master has also brought us a brand new evolution version!" After watching for a while, everyone agreed the master seemed very ambitious, tinkering with who-knows-what, and it wouldn't be finished anytime soon.

Everyone then realized: studying hundreds of potential species across the entire sandbox? Concocting alchemical potions and experimenting on the spot? That was an enormous undertaking, clearly indicating his ambition! Otherwise, given the big shot's skill level, simply propagating a single potential species would be very quick. "He's probably researching a trans-era life form!"

After their initial exclamations and wild joy, everyone quickly became bored. After watching for a bit, they went back to their own activities, though they had new ideas. For extraordinary species, the ordinary evolutionary path was difficult. Perhaps they, too, should add some potions? Boil a pot of potion and evolve spores within it? Perhaps the protagonists of the new world wouldn't just be humans; one couldn't be limited to just humans anymore...

Xu Zhi sat in his chair, his expression calm, reviewing the characteristics of the Evil Gods. The essence of Evil Gods was that they were special beings formed from the convergence of thoughts from thousands, millions, or even billions of ordinary creatures. Consequently, they possessed powerful fundamental characteristics, such as the Dream God's ability to create beautiful dreams, the Time Worm's control over time, and the Void Serpent's 'Return to Void' characteristic... Time, space, wind, fire, lightning, charm... Although they were aggregations of thoughts, they were similar to ordinary plants, insects, and fish in that they could gain sentience, awaken their minds, and become intelligent life forms!

So, "new humans"... that was decided.

Xu Zhi took a deep breath and looked at the mechanical armor in the distance—600,000 small mechanical cubes, the personal guard squad of the Zerg Mother Queen. "It's you," he thought. "It's time for you to enter the era of reincarnation."

He slightly extended a hand. Whoosh! The entire mechanical armor rapidly disassembled, transforming into a swirling storm of black fragmented metal. It spun and condensed, surprisingly forming a mysterious, hollow, deep black ring. It was covered with dense patterns, where thick, pulpy white and black light intertwined. This was precisely Mengmei's Incense Dragon Vein Formation, capable of absorbing and aggregating all thought energy. Mengmei created online games, allowing players to go online, control remotely, and be immortal.

Xu Zhi looked up at the huge, mysterious ring floating and rotating above the living room. "And I create... reincarnation."
