Chapter 682 - 675: Grand Event
"Heh heh, feel free. We may not be anyone special in the True River Realm, but we’re still genuine Type One Life Forms, beings who have transcended the material world. To a Low level Civilization like this one—one that doesn’t even have Type Ones and can barely trigger the guidance mechanism—we really are like Divine Beings."
The winged being laughed as well. He knew exactly what "routine" the barbed being was talking about.
Across the whole True River Realm, Type One combatants like them weren’t exactly ubiquitous, nor were they the lowest rung of True Realm Life, but they were certainly plentiful.
After all, this universe was simply too vast. They had no idea just how expansive their own True River Realm was. With countless civilizations and innumerable lives gathered together, being a Type One was nothing special.
But to a Low level Civilization still confined to its planet, one that had yet to truly make contact with the infinite universe and had no life forms capable of surviving in the True Realm, they were God-like beings.
A single one of them could annihilate an entire surface-dwelling civilization.
"However, this is a guidance mission from the Sacred Lotus Civilization, after all. That means some individuals in this civilization have the potential to become members of the Sacred Lotus Civilization. Moreover, those who can climb up from their home planet step by step will have a bit more potential than native True Realm Life like us."
"So, let’s not go too far,"
the winged being added, reminding the barbed being.
"I know, I know. ’High potential’ only applies to life forms that have at least reached Type One. According to our intel, these natives don’t even have a single Type One. Who knows when they’ll actually break through to that level? Besides, if there really were any beings with immense potential, the Sacred Lotus Civilization wouldn’t have assigned the initial contact and guidance mission to us. They would have sent their own people. The fact that they gave the job to us just shows that their potential assessment for this planet’s civilization is pretty average. Don’t worry so much,"
the barbed being said with a dismissive air.
"You have a point. We’ll take a closer look when we arrive."
The winged being shrugged. He didn’t think it was a big deal either. It was just one Low level Civilization. Their mere presence was a gift to such a civilization.
"How much longer until this piece of junk finishes charging?"
the barbed being asked.
"It’ll take about three standard cosmic days to power up, and about twelve to fully charge."
"Why don’t we just use a True Realm Jump to get there?"
the winged being asked.
"Forget it. That’s exhausting. Let’s just wait for it to fully charge. We can just sleep, and the time will fly by."
"Fair enough. Whatever you want."
GURGLE GURGLE!!
As the two life forms conversed, the entire Aircraft Carrier, which resembled a living creature, hung stationary in space. Its abdominal region suddenly split open, and countless tentacle-like conduits shot out, piercing violently into the surrounding void.
They plunged from the material world into the True Realm and began to continuously siphon vast amounts of True Realm Energy through the conduits to replenish the ship’s own energy reserves.
An unknown civilization, from across the vast universe, drew ever closer to Earth Civilization.

「Earth.」
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During that half-month, Zhou Yuanjue gradually came to understand the characteristics of his Lifebound True Skill.
First, the fundamental life structures that he could simulate and fuse in multiples could not have major attribute conflicts with the structures he had already simulated. Furthermore, the more structures that shared the same affinities, the easier the simulation and fusion process became.
Second, fusing fundamental structures could alter the ability characteristics of the original structure, resulting in the stacking and enhancement of abilities. He surmised that with the right combinations, the simulated fundamental abilities could eventually evolve to a point where they were completely different from the original host structure, becoming something utterly unique.
Third, the Power of the True Realm drawn by the fused fundamental structures would stack, enhancing the Power of the True Realm within his body and continuously pushing him toward the next stage of advancement.
During this time, he studied the fundamental structures of the remaining Primordial Ancestors.
All of this Data was provided by Zhou Ji.
She understood the specific fundamental life structure of every Primordial Ancestor.
According to her, back when they fled the Holy Star, Mo had used the "Illusion-Truth Fusion" method to merge all the Primordial Ancestors into one. This fusion occurred at the fundamental level of life and the deepest level of the Spirit, causing nearly every aspect of the Twelve Primordial Ancestors to merge and granting them the most profound understanding of one another.
As a result, none of the Twelve Primordial Ancestors’ fundamental life structures, specific abilities, or even a portion of their memories were secrets from one another.
After careful selection, Zhou Yuanjue finally settled on two relatively compatible fundamental structures.
One was from Sai, which possessed an extremely potent biological activation ability.
The other was from Sa, which granted the ability of the Nine Great Furnaces to expand one’s Power to its absolute limit.
In truth, Zhou Yuanjue was also quite interested in Mo’s Illusionary Ability, as well as the Cycle of Evil ability belonging to Mang and Yu, who had not yet appeared. However, after studying them, he discovered that both abilities were too self-contained and would be extremely difficult to fuse with his current structure, so he had to abandon the idea.
Between the first two abilities, he chose Sa’s internal furnace ability.
The reason was simple: Sa’s ability was ranked among the very best of the Primordial Ancestors. It was one that could touch the Power of the True Realm, making it far more valuable to him than Sai’s.
He had originally intended to simulate Sa’s entire fundamental structure in one go and then proceed with fusing it into his existing one. However, an event forced him to end his seclusion early.
The founding ceremony of the Earth Human Alliance was about to be held in Donghua, and the eyes of the entire world—all of humanity—were focused on this location. As arguably the most important figure in human history, he had to make an appearance at this grand event. What’s more, he had also promised to give an impromptu address.
「On that day. Donghua, Shangjing Prefecture.」
The entire region was packed with people. Not even the World Games in years past could compare to the magnificent spectacle of today.
On the streets of Shangjing Prefecture, one could see people of every race and color. They wore distinctive cultural attire and spoke broken, accented Mandarin as they interacted with the citizens of Donghua.
That’s right. The Donghua language was now gradually becoming the global language.
Volunteers with smiles on their faces directed people through the streets, and a look of pride was etched on every one of their faces.
After a thousand years and countless tribulations, this expression had finally returned to the faces of the Donghua People.
The time for the conference to begin was drawing ever closer.
