Chapter 725: Angel’s Staff and Di Qi’s Discovery

The galaxy was vast, dark, and serene.

In the void, a white-robed ceramic youth stood at ease within the immense, dark universe.

He gazed up at the distant galaxy, then calmly lowered his head. His eyes were incredibly deep, like two of the world's most beautiful crystal glass gems, as if foreseeing the tumultuous future of the mini-universe era.

"Your Majesty, the All-God."

The Prime Divine Officer lowered his head. Several powerful white porcelain divine officers, facing the nearly omnipotent, great, supreme, and mysterious being of the universe, could barely utter a sound.

It was this ancient deity who created this universe: planets, living beings, dimensions, space-time, past, and future. One is all, and all is everything. Since another All-God had gone into secluded cultivation, they could only seek an audience with this All-God.

The white ceramic youth gently turned around, his face devoid of joy or sorrow. "Your power is too weak," he said, "you cannot maintain order in this universe."

"Please punish us, All-God."

The Prime Divine Officer stepped forward, his face filled with remorse. Yes, those beings had become more powerful than they were; they could no longer truly maintain order. Over time, the powerful beings of the universe would treat the divine officers as objects to be bullied at any time! After a major battle, they would even make them clean and repair planets. As the most ancient primeval gods, how could they tolerate this? They were deeply ashamed, feeling they had failed to live up to the All-God's expectations.

Xu Zhi shook his head. With a wave of his hand, twelve crystal glass gems appeared before each divine officer. Next, an incredible scene unfolded. The crystal gems seemed to possess life; their beautiful, glass-like radiance refracted dazzlingly, with starry images, like endless slides, stretching out within them, reflecting the entire universe.

"This...?"

The twelve divine officers were amazed, crying out in fascination at the gems' exquisite beauty. With a shimmer! The crystal gems were suddenly enveloped by a beautiful, luxurious golden scepter from the void. Intricate carvings covered its surface, with the gems embedded at its tip.

"This scepter is an Angel." The white ceramic youth said, his hands clasped behind his back.

Whoosh! As he spoke, it came to pass; the crystal gems within the scepter seemed to contain and manifest a hazy form of life consciousness. A brilliant light burst forth in the Prime Divine Officer's eyes.

"What exactly is an Angel Gem? Is it like the gem core of Number Eighteen? Yet completely different. To their surprise, within it, they seemed to feel an endless world contained!"

In reality, this was a new type of "World Bottle." Xu Zhi utilized the material of the entire Gem Race from the Gem Kingdom to create "Magic Core Bottles" using hundreds of thousands of cells. He also employed "Quality" to enhance their life essence, making it a truly massive undertaking. The Clay Golems have evolved to this point; they can now use variant clays, such as highly granular pixel clay and gem clay. Each Gem Magic Core Bottle possesses a soul world, like a crystal-walled universe, capable of housing endless souls.

"Gods govern life and death." The white ceramic youth in white turned around. "This Angel Scepter can collect the souls of deceased beings from planets."

"The true form of Angels is the Angel Scepter, but they still possess bodies," he continued. "And their bodies are created by you."

The divine officers were stunned, their eyes lighting up. How could they not sense that this single gem had only hundreds of thousands of cells?! Unlike their own hundreds of trillions of cells, this was a life form that could quickly break through to the Ninth Order! Moreover, an Angel itself was a world! Its own soul world, breaking through to a Ninth Order world, would truly become a dual world!

Going forward, they would undoubtedly support these twelve Angels, helping them allocate resources for cultivation and even creating temporary bodies for these scepters. Was this the omnipotent God who creates all things? They sensed that this Angel Gem possessed endless knowledge and wisdom, beyond any praise.

"Angels will assist generations of gods in managing the universe."

With a gentle step, the white ceramic youth disappeared into the vast universe.

"We respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty, the All-God."

The twelve second-generation divine officers of the All-Race present, each holding a scepter, all bowed their heads in salute, filled with respect.

A moment later, they created bodies of various appearances for the Angels, whose true form was the "Angel Scepter," to enable their practical actions.

"This makes for twelve Underworlds." Xu Zhi sat back in the living room, chin in hand, pondering. "This way," he mused, "the resting place for souls after death is completely supplemented, while also increasing the combat power of the gods, with powerful Angels to assist in managing affairs and in battle."

"However," he thought, "this is practically an era where everyone can transform into a cosmic being! They all use the extremely low cell count as a threshold to break through to the Ninth Order first!"

"This is a cultivation system for the entire race," he continued, "after all, the cells of the entire race possess this characteristic, allowing them to specify the number of cells, size, and volume of a descendant during reproduction."

"They all believe that Magic Cores offer a unique racial advantage for the Ninth Order," he concluded, "but in reality, the entire race also has a huge advantage for the Ninth Order!"

As for the older generation of divine officers, they felt they were about to be phased out by the era. After all, they were initially life forms with normal cell counts. But they would naturally die of old age; then the next divine officer could simply inherit their position.

At this moment, the history of the pre-cosmic barbaric era was fully complete and enriched, laying the foundation for cosmic civilization. In the future, it would fully enter its golden age.

Cell's hidden lurking... Frieza and Number Eighteen... The Six Infinity Stones of the King of Cybertron... Seven Black-Hearted Dragon Balls... The infant from Planet Saiyan, sent into outer space...

One new beginning after another, Xu Zhi saw a corner of a magnificent cosmic myth unfolding before his eyes. It would even be an era with a great abundance of Ninth Order beings.

"This is the true universe."

"Eighth Order beings are creatures within a world," he mused, "but Ninth Order beings are the world itself... And the universe, in essence, is composed of many individual worlds. What stands before us now is a true mini-universe!" The concept of the mini-universe now truly fit its meaning. If it's just a bunch of Eighth Order gods without Ninth Order worlds, what kind of universe is that? At most, it's just a single world.

Although, these Ninth Order beings are the weakest, most "crippled" of their kind. But it's still quite fitting. After all, it's a mini-universe, so naturally, they are "mini" Ninth Order beings. It makes sense. Although, when calculated with scouter glasses, a single Ninth Order cell has a combat power of 1, and a Super Saiyan's combat power is only 1.08 million, a truly normal Ninth Order being boasts a combat power of 100 trillion! To reach a complete, full-bodied Ninth Order, there is still a "Path of Ninth Order Cell Quantity" to travel.

Xu Zhi sat contentedly in the living room. He had just returned from the teleportation array; after all, Caroline's Great Dream there had also awakened, and her vastly increased power was still being assimilated.

The mini-universe era—a new era was beginning. All aspects were developing. At the very least, it would still take some time for the Saiyan infant on the other side to grow up, awaken, and seek revenge. But clearly, the next generation of new powerhouses, still infants, were already too late for the latest wave of world wars.

"What are they doing over here?" Xu Zhi's expression shifted, and his gaze finally fell upon Di Qi at the Chongming Mythological Heavenly Court.

The sky-blocking Jianmu tree stood tall on the ground, unmoving, yet Di Qi stood on its trunk, conducting an incognito inspection tour.

"Mother Earth Qing Teng," Di Qi asked, "you are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Do you know what kind of cosmic creature this is? Three years ago, while observing astronomical phenomena in the outer universe, I discovered this strange image." Di Qi made a gentle gesture, and a cosmic star map appeared before him. As if through a telescope, he observed that in a distant galaxy, millions of light-years away, the light of a planet seemed to be obscured by some colossal cosmic creature.

"Ah? An alien creature?" Meng Mei exclaimed, startled. "Why does it look like an enormous octopus? At this scale, it's comparable to a small planet." She picked up the image to examine it, her expression as if it was nothing unusual. "It might be a true cosmic Cthulhu creature," she mused. "If it's alone, we could try to kill it."

Xu Zhi: "..."

His scalp tingled. On this side, they were still properly fighting internal world wars, Caroline next door was diligently preparing for war, and the Three Pillar Gods were also diligently planning. And what were they doing here?
