Chapter 16: The Road to the Universe, the World in a Predicament!

Following his instructions, the three extraordinary races stopped their internal strife.

Instead, they held their breath and aimed to develop beyond their realm.

The Evil Eye race possessed the highest intelligence but had weak bodies.

Their tentacles, single eye, and brains found it difficult to survive in the cosmos.

Moreover, there was one crucial obstacle:

—They couldn’t fly.

Thus, under the leadership of the Eye Demon, they planned to pursue a path of proving themselves through technology.

In other words, they aimed to create spacesuits and thrusters to break through the universe.

The Stag Beetle Beast race sacrificed their brains for physical prowess.

As a result, they became single-minded.

They wouldn’t think too much; they would just charge forward.

“Isn’t it just the world’s gravity?”

“I just need to be a bit stronger, right?”

“What? The oxygen is thin at high altitudes?

And near the universe, there’s no spiritual energy, so I’ll starve?”

“Well, I’ll just hold my breath for a bit longer!”

“At worst, I’ll just store more oxygen.”

Thus, the Stag Beetles evolved a special organ—a gas bladder—specifically for storing oxygen.

After undergoing some evolution, they even developed a gas-burning device within their bodies.

They thoughtfully equipped it with several gas tubes to control the burning rate, resembling a biological rocket.

As for the most challenging cosmic radiation and low temperatures,

There wasn’t much to say.

Under the guidance of their great leader, the Super Beetle, they simply layered armor and fat.

For them, this was the easiest problem to solve.

Sometimes, solving worldly dilemmas truly required a headstrong push forward.

At the end of the era, the Super Beetle brought Su Bai a great surprise.

【End of the Third Era: The meteor you worried about has not appeared, but mysteriously, the universe has taken notice of this nascent little world, especially the Lord of the Four Seas in the deep sea.】

【After a period of the world’s dormancy, the three extraordinary races made various gains in their studies of the universe.】

【The Super Beetle led its people, forming teams to withstand the frigid winds at high altitudes. After hundreds of studies, their heights continually broke through, finally nearing the world barrier.

】

【Relying on its tough hide, the Super Beetle held its breath, used its tail to blast out air, and burst through the world barrier!】

【Without the world’s protection, the Super Beetle’s proud body quickly became weak under the cosmic powers’ wash and radiation’s illumination, with its temperature plummeting and stamina rapidly depleting.】

【The Super Beetle sensed the scent of death.】

“How reckless! Even the Lord of the Four Seas wouldn’t dare to do this.”

Su Bai felt a bit regretful.

But the following lines of text rekindled his hope.

【At the critical moment of life and death, the Super Beetle erupted with potential, temporarily going berserk, using its last breath on its wings, flapping back.】

【With the intentional guidance of the Tianyuan Realm, the world’s gravity re-captured the Super Beetle, allowing it to escape a calamity.】

“The world also has an instinctive consciousness, recognizing its own child.”

This was a significant discovery.

Upon returning to land, the Super Beetle also felt dispirited, but as fate would have it,

This time, enduring cosmic radiation allowed it to evolve in a more directed manner.

While Su Bai waited, the third era passed.

That meteor still hadn’t come.

But Su Bai knew that with the passage of time, it might be late, but it would certainly not be absent.

【Simulation time has passed three eras, and the land has grown to 95 kilometers!】

【

Please note! Relying on daily absorption, self-growth has reached a critical point. To break through, the world must enter another level, unless aided by external factors.】

【Otherwise, it will be delayed for a long time!】

This message made Su Bai frown.

“I can’t break through to 100 kilometers?”

Based on what he had previously understood, the exponential increase in land area meant crossing a threshold.

Simply relying on the world’s innate absorption and the reciprocal support from the creatures living upon it would take ages!

The wealthy second-generation heirs and national seeds all had substantial resource cards at their disposal, even land cards!

These directly integrated into the world’s origin, enhancing area and potential.

As for the general populace…

On the internet, grassroots creators circulated a saying:

“Working is impossible; I can never work in this lifetime. Managing a world without knowing how, just picking up trash is the only way to sustain life.

Being in the universe feels like coming home; the feeling in space is much better than at home!”

A speck of dust in the universe becomes a mountain in every world.

When Su Bai heard this, he was astonished.

“Isn’t that just picking up trash?”

“If you put it that way, ordinary world masters really are just scavengers.

Yet, many people want to scavenge but don’t even have this opportunity.”

His classmates looked on with yearning.

Thanks to the actions of the creators picking up trash, the starry sky had become much clearer.

“A clever housewife can’t cook without rice; all I have is the cheapest climate card.

Getting stuck at a checkpoint is tough.”

He felt quite vexed.

Su Bai had already sensed that the world’s origin had expanded to its limits.

Due to the talent of the Prehistoric Behemoths, the Tianyuan Realm was under considerable pressure.

Many gigantic insects and large fish felt their living space narrowing, with insufficient food supplies.

The Lord of the Four Seas had sensed the constriction over an era ago!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have expanded its territory.

“Prosperity leads to decline; how long will it take to break through the remaining 5 kilometers to the save point?”

Under Su Bai’s concerns,

New simulation text emerged.

【

Early Fourth Era: The world’s expansion has stagnated, and the behemoths gradually sense food scarcity. The exploration of the universe by the three extraordinary races has fallen into a dilemma.】

【The increasingly harsh environment has caused faith to become more devout.】

【Faith Points +10!】

【Mid Fourth Era: The world continues to stagnate, and even the oxygen and spiritual energy levels began to drop, with land area regressing to 92 kilometers!】

【A giant rhinoceros beetle that survived for two eras went extinct, large batches of ferns withered, and a layer of yellow sand covered the land.】

【With the three extraordinary races at the forefront, the creatures sensed the world was in crisis. They were anxious to save themselves, frequently rushing into the universe.】

【Most of these attempts ended in failure, with only the Super Beetle spending increasingly long durations in outer space.】

The breakthrough of zero faith points could be considered a small gain.

But the overall trend was despairing!

“It seems that this time, the limit has been reached. To break through, external elements must assist.”

Su Bai felt a sense of regret.

With a flip of his hand, a card appeared in his grasp.

This might be his only opportunity for a turnaround.

“Even if it means summoning an apocalypse, I must gamble on this dying horse.

After all, it’s better than the sudden arrival of a meteor that would lead to the world’s end.”

Rubbing the S card, Su Bai resolved,

“Next simulation, I’ll take it with me!”

Just as he fell into a stalemate, intending to accelerate the simulation speed,

An anomaly suddenly occurred!*
