Chapter 1264: Chapter 1263: Solution...

Resources concentrated on one individual, allowing a devouring-evolution type monster to continuously swell and grow, eventually becoming an almost invincible creature—this sort of thing, Pu YunChuan likely never anticipated.

Indeed, while creating it, how could he have foreseen that the universe would automatically evolve? After all, it’s artificial intelligence, highly simulated, and many times Pu YunChuan also couldn’t anticipate it surpassing his expectations.

For instance, self-interest manages this.

In this universe, all the monsters that have expanded extensively couldn’t achieve greatness, like that Ghost Octopus, which, after devouring all living beings, would expand rapidly, becoming increasingly gigantic, and eventually unable to focus its energy due to its enormous size, making every move extremely difficult, even breathing became hard, and then it would be tormented by surrounding bacteria and parasites—living but wishing for death, finally turning into nourishment, returning back to this world.

It’s a rule—the will of the world won’t allow creatures too powerful and disregarding of rules, especially such deformed beings—they are the least tolerated. For example, the Sparrow Bee, why was it sealed? Logically, its abilities should be capitalized upon, maybe nurtured.

However, its ability to devour others is too terrifying, even superiors dread it—what if it continues devouring one day and ends up becoming bent on swallowing even them?

Thinking this way, the higher beings and the world consciousness will all be wary, so whenever such a thing arises, it’s bound to be targeted and suppressed. However, in the Heavenly Demon Universe, such creatures are actually encouraged!

This is very troublesome. Initially, such rapidly growing creatures indeed have physiological defects, for example, Sparrow Bee could divide itself into several incarnations—mutually slaughtering, or induce chaos after devouring too much talent, ultimately resulting in sudden death.

Other such types of monsters are actually the same, all the extreme of Heavenly Dao.

But such things aren’t entirely unsolvable. If... if like Gu Insects, continuously conducting competitive elimination, removing unsuccessful ones and propagating more formidable life forms, what would be the outcome?

Think carefully, would those disadvantageous genes be continuously eliminated? And then evolve, generation after generation, would the previous limitations perhaps vanish?

Generally, if the Heavenly Dao deliberately obstructs, it’s very hard to succeed, as it involves reproduction over several or even hundreds of generations, the Heavenly Dao has means to stop reproduction, forcing you back to before.

And if the Heavenly Dao doesn’t stop it?

Even intentionally encourages it?

Chen Qing took a sharp breath, such a thought—forget Pu YunChuan, even he never considered it, yet once such creatures appear, there’s perhaps truly no way to cope...

"Are you silent because you’ve thought of a solution?" Old Liu hurriedly inquired.

Chen Qiang’s face twitched—even when silent, isn’t it indicative of having no way out? Or perhaps he gave off an illusion of being able to solve anything around him?

"I don’t have a way..." Chen Qing said bluntly.

"No way?" Old Liu frowned, the other party likely wouldn’t lie, indeed Chen Qing resisted her for twenty years, regardless of the method, being able to restrict such creatures for twenty years at least proved Chen Qing isn’t entirely powerless.

"What way could there be?" Chen Qing smiled bitterly, "The kind of monster you’re describing is likely nurtured over billions of years, evolved through countless life genes, ceaseless devouring and competition—it’s completely different from our billions of years of stagnancy. How could such a gap be bridged in a short time? Even if the Heavenly Dao realized it now, it’s already too late!"

"Then are we to just wait to die?" Old Liu furrowed his brows, feeling Chen Qing wasn’t an easy person to concede defeat.

"Perhaps some ideas, like concentrating all Grand Paths might barely suffice to contend, but I’m afraid also..."

Hearing this, Old Liu shook his head, "With our current ability, using one Innate Dao Fruit already strains the body, let alone concentrating and using several. It’s almost impossible—even you or the Three-Eyed God General can use at most three, and that would be the limit, with limited usage time, while the others aren’t alike. They inherently possess such power, their stamina consumption isn’t on the same scale, they can sustain years, but for us, half a day is impossible."

Chen Qing nodded, Old Liu’s analysis was accurate, concentrating Heavenly Dao is impractical, the Laws of this world signify concentrating energy on one individual is impossible—it could lead to losing control... Ah! Wait!

Suddenly, Chen Qing thought of something and looked towards Old Liu, "Old Liu, you just said she let you go voluntarily?"

"Yes!" Old Liu nodded, "Even possessing the Power of Space-Time, given my ability, escaping before her would have been impossible. Her speed allowed her to annihilate me in an instant the moment I activated my abilities—I had no chance to initiate it!"

"Exactly!" Chen Qing seemed to have discovered something. "So? Why did she let you go?"

"That..." Old Liu was puzzled—he found it odd too. "Perhaps she found it boring?"

"I think it’s because of something you said, Mr. Liu."

"You mean...." Old Liu immediately understood.

"When birds are gone, good bows are put away; when the wily hare is dead, the hounds are cooked—this historical law is most fitting for the Heavenly Dao and her." Chen Qing quickly said, "That monster is too strong—raised from countless resources spanning half the universe, it’s indeed powerful, but it’s a double-edged sword. Once this sword loses control, it could end up harming itself!"

"Would she?" Old Liu frowned, he did attempt a defection, but the other even displayed no interest.

"She hasn’t felt the malicious intent the universe that raised her showed towards her yet."

"Carefully think, why would that universe give rise to the Heavenly Demons?"

Old Liu was stunned; he immediately realized—the Heavenly Demon Universe employs passive defensive expansion, meaning the universe sensed a threat hence nurturing these battle machines, but pondering it further—if his machinations recognized uncontrolled growth that could pose a threat even to oneself, what choice would it make?

"If I’m not mistaken, that creature, in the end, might even refuse to obediently return to slumber—because devouring too many beings from this universe would have somewhat influenced its thoughts, given time, self-awareness would emerge."

"With such strength, why should she offer the weak a place to exist and choose to hibernate herself?"

"Why not continue devouring the remaining half of the universe?"

"This..." Old Liu immediately grasped Chen Qing’s point, and frowned, saying, "Inciting defection might not be easy, moreover aren’t we unqualified even for cooperation?"
