Chapter 576: Introducing Another Universe Civilization

Allowing a world to repeatedly face destruction, suffering, collapse, and struggle in seemingly insurmountable dead ends might appear too torturous. However, greater difficulties often lead to greater rewards. If they can break through and achieve victory, creating incredible miracles, the gains will be immense.

This would undoubtedly be the world with the greatest potential and combat power among countless parallel universes.

"This is a terrifying tempering, creating a future full of miracles," Xu Zhi murmured. "None of my previous worlds have done this... they all grew freely. Who would initiate something like this after only two hundred years?"

And it wouldn't have been possible.

There was simply no way to implement it, as a reset wouldn't have been possible.

In the same two hundred years, the previous wizarding world was still in the primitive era of the Three Witches' Tribe, while this one had undergone rapid iteration and updates, creating various miracles, comparable to the peak of the Babylonian dynasty in the wizarding world's thousand-year history.

Xu Zhi finally understood why the Daughter of the Prosperous Forest broke through to become a Middle God in less than a century. It was because countless failures in parallel universes culminated in her unique victorious and miraculous future.

The more Xu Zhi thought about it, the more he felt like the Three Pillar Gods. He was doing what they did back then. He hadn't fully understood their worldline struggles before, but now he completely grasped it.

"However, everything is coming to an end."

Xu Zhi had already seen the dawn.

Frieza's second form had emerged. Combined with understanding the characteristics of the Unified Virus this time and discovering the second transformation, it provided a wealth of information.

"Next time, it should be close to a reversal, breaking the stalemate," Xu Zhi mused, resting his chin on his hand. At this point, the civilization's simulation was nearing its conclusion.

But it would also be a new beginning.

Or rather, countless failures had given them a perfect starting point for civilization!

It was hard to imagine how glorious their future would be. Perhaps their combat power would surpass even the Yixu Dar people, potentially making them the strongest world among all his sandboxes.

"After all, each subsequent world is stronger than the last, as knowledge accumulates, I progress, and more resources are invested in expanding the sandbox... Moreover, this is a mini-universe comparable in size to China's territory. This single stone planet before me is just one of many. Surpassing them should be inevitable."

The entire new sandbox was tens of thousands of times larger than the previous three sandboxes combined. How could they even compare?

There was truly no comparison.

After a pause, Xu Zhi wasn't in a hurry to activate the next worldline. Instead, he went to check on Caroline's progress.

It was a fortunate coincidence; Caroline had just finished her simulation and successfully navigated the entire virus apocalypse.

"I'm already one step ahead," Caroline said with a triumphant smile.

Clearly, it was natural for Caroline's supercomputing abilities to allow her to complete the task before him.

"Being first doesn't necessarily mean winning," Xu Zhi replied casually, examining her results.

She had indeed done as she said, directly simulating a branching path in the "Stone Bead Warrior" arc, allowing the stone beads to develop their own intelligence and become a source of life.

This created a fourth race on the planet — the descendants of the entire race. In contrast, Xu Zhi's stone planet only had the original three races, as the Dragon Ball's consciousness had been erased and thus couldn't form a race.

"A planet with four races," Xu Zhi observed. "And it's surprisingly dominated by the stone sphere race. You allowed those seven stone beads to gain sentience, initiate a revolution, overthrow the existing rule, and then, by absorbing radiation and qi, they truly transformed into glowing 'Sparks' (Source of Life)."

In her stone planet worldline, a Spark-based mechanical civilization emerged, and the entire stone planet was named Cybertron.

This mechanical civilization began to enslave the other three races on Cybertron, forcing them to jointly resist the approaching apocalypse. They continuously exploited the achievements of the three races, forging a different path.

Furthermore, the mechanical civilization embedded a Spark as its core, granting it the ability to transform weapons. Not only did their various spacecraft resemble Gundam, but also iconic figures like Autobots, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Starscream all had similar archetypes.

Xu Zhi was speechless.

He was somewhat dumbfounded. It truly was Cybertron, just as he had initially thought.

But then again, it was natural; a mechanical civilization would, of course, feature various transforming mechanical forms, primarily designed for combat. Similarities were to be expected.

"What do you think?" Caroline asked with a smile. "A vacuum-universe civilization combining mechanical radiation and qi. In just two hundred years, they've already left their planet, shot down meteorites in outer space, and even transformed the entire habitable stone planet, reshaping its internal qi and intricate meridians to become a true mechanical planet, with remarkable ease."

"Furthermore, I didn't provide any technology; I merely offered guidance. Their technology is incredibly powerful and has developed a style distinct from ours," Caroline continued to explain.

Xu Zhi nodded. It was indeed a very suitable civilization, aligning with the Yixu Dar people's path of combining machinery with the supernatural.

"My side is also nearing completion," Xu Zhi admitted without hesitation.

"Then I'll come have a look." Caroline was quite relaxed. This discussion was, in essence, an exploration of knowledge, aiming for mutual benefit and significant gains—a true exchange of information.

Without hesitation, Xu Zhi led Caroline to his worldline.

Caroline observed the process. "Dragon Ball technology? Frieza? Androids? These are progressing simultaneously. Although they haven't left the planet yet, this civilization should have strong staying power."

With her keen insight, she quickly deduced the civilization's underlying potential and fell into deep thought.

Given these circumstances, Frieza should soon secure victory and become the protagonist of this era. It would likely take no more than three rebirths to break the virus's stalemate.

After all, the Unified Virus thrived on surprise tactics.

Suddenly ambushing a world and instantly infecting it was hard to defend against. By the time they reacted, the snowball would have grown too large, and the entire world would be on the verge of falling. However, once its characteristics were known, its weaknesses could be exploited immediately.

After all, if one knew how the future would unfold, even the most terrifying crisis ceased to be a crisis.

Although this stone planet, currently overcoming the virus era, was likely not as advanced as Cybertron and could still only sustain life on its surface,

In terms of sheer potential, Cybertron should not be inferior to any single one of them. However, when compared to all three currently developing civilizations, there was a significant disparity...

After all, it was natural for three civilizations developing simultaneously to each be somewhat weaker.

She smiled, easily admitting defeat, "I guess I lost."

"This is the advantage of having profound knowledge and understanding multiple civilization systems. You guided each race with a system from three different worlds, tailoring your teaching to their specific needs."

Xu Zhi nodded.

Frieza had subtly guided the Ancestral Witch transformation system.

The High Green Star people's Dragon Balls were based on the Dragon Vein Wish Power system.

The Red Beetles carried traces of the Yixu Dar people.

Furthermore, each had developed its own unique characteristics along these system lines, integrating true qi and radiation to the point where their original influences were gradually becoming imperceptible.

"I'm truly envious," Caroline said with a wistful look, sighing playfully. "When will I be able to possess so many systems and so much knowledge? I can only use knowledge of mechanical civilizations to guide similar mechanical civilizations."

"Living longer, witnessing more civilizations rise and fall, naturally leads to greater knowledge," Xu Zhi said, standing up. "Let's go see the next Dragon Ball civilization; it's almost at its finale."

Caroline remained calm, following Xu Zhi to witness the beginning of the next worldline.

For long-lived deities like them, winning or losing wasn't particularly important, especially among those who weren't outsiders. She suddenly remarked, "By the way, once the first planet's civilization simulation is complete and the three races have risen, then other planets will continuously ascend."

Xu Zhi nodded.

The evolution of this world's sandbox was entrusted to the magic core supercomputer, which managed it with such detail that it could even act as a true cosmic Dao. The three races currently present were merely precursors, riding the express train of civilization. After them, other planets and their respective races would successively ascend and become planets themselves.

However, it was hard to imagine what kind of planets the subsequent civilizations would manifest.

Hopefully, another Planet Vegeta wouldn't appear.

Anyway, he wouldn't guide it; he wouldn't choose a Saiyan-like future from countless worldlines. Would it naturally generate a similar Saiyan race on its own?

Reality was quite straightforward; if he didn't deliberately intervene, the probability of that happening was almost nil.

Caroline walked ahead. "Once this race is somewhat perfected and a few more planets have been launched, reaching an initial stage of completion, we should then begin the fourth phase."

A fourth phase?

Xu Zhi was momentarily brought back to his senses.

Caroline was incredibly meticulous.

He already found the worldline's development astonishing!

Yet, it wasn't the end.

He, the "lazy bum," was having a great time. Xu Zhi felt that Caroline was simply the best employee of the year; he didn't have to worry about anything and could just relax.

She then said with a serious expression, "My fourth phase, of course, involves practical combat and real-world testing. This system is inherently based on true qi and light sources... I want to invite another similar system for exchange and probing. This should greatly benefit the civilization."

"Are you saying..." Xu Zhi's thoughts stirred, and an ominous feeling arose within him.

"Yes," Caroline replied earnestly. "Since His Majesty of the Samsara Palace accepted the gift of reincarnation and also possesses our Yixu Dar people's blueprints, we share a certain connection. I'd like to borrow some Asura paths from him...

"Aren't those Asura paths part of the ancient civilization, the Huaxia system, that they are currently reviving? Things like the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Six Paths of Reincarnation...

"They are said to be Daoists and Ancient Buddhas, from a civilization billions of years old... We are also a similar emerging cosmic civilization. It would be beneficial to have an exchange in this universe, to absorb knowledge from each other, and to assess each other's combat strength."

Caroline's expression was earnest. In her view, this was a good opportunity to promote world exchange, as both were vacuum universe systems, which would greatly benefit both sides. After all, hoarding knowledge wasn't wise; exchange would complete deficiencies in both systems and foster mutual progress.

Moreover, due to the existence of the Super Ancient God, she had a favorable impression of His Majesty of the Samsara Palace, and the food in that world was delicious.

"After all, the Asura path possesses evolutionary characteristics and can quickly adapt to planetary environments, enriching the ecosystems of each planet," Caroline mused, carefully considering her idea, which she saw as the perfect strategy.

Xu Zhi: ???

Invite those 'idiots' over?

Stage a battle between Daoists and Ancient Buddhas against Frieza and Namekians?

The style would be completely off!

The moment Xu Zhi pictured that scene, he instantly felt uncomfortable! His expression immediately became strange. The previous steps had been perfect and astonishing to Xu Zhi, but he disagreed with this proposed fourth phase.

"You're still too young. You'll regret bringing them into this proper mini-universe world."

"Ahem," Xu Zhi coughed. "Let's not rush to think about the future. Let's first focus on the current world and ensure they survive this impending apocalypse."

Caroline chuckled softly, "That's right. It's better to wait until they've risen and matured a bit, so we don't make a spectacle of ourselves."
