Hongqi and the others returned to the present, returned to Earth.

But what they saw was devastation, traces of destruction everywhere.

After all, when they left, a World War II-era Earth took the hit for them, and was later taken away directly.

"What happened here?"

"How long has it been since we left?"

"Could it be that we've traveled thousands or tens of thousands of years into the future, to this future Earth?"

They kept searching and started sorting through the ruins, intending to take root first and then talk.

...

...

"Assistive AI, help me reorganize the files and data." Back in the room, Fu Qingjun sat on the chair, gazing at the distant desk, "The period of the Great Flood crossing is finally over."

Now it's time to consider the future,

After all, having a clear self-awareness is essential for better planning the development prospects of civilization.

Previously, I was quite busy, without much time to organize data, but now I've finally escaped pursuit, fled the edge of death, and everything has settled.

"Reorganizing data..."

From the vortex-shaped snail earrings, a voice emanated.

Fu Qingjun: Early Stage of the Seventh Realm

Character Cards: SSR-level Jiaxia (Missing), S-level Yudula, A-level Qin Hong, S-level Hongqi...

Gene Pool:

1. Prototype First Generation Ant People: Beast Head, Human Body

2. Advanced Ant Angel Species: Red-winged Angels, Ant Giant Dragon, Feathered Serpent God, Black Feather Angels...

3. Snail People: Native Snails, Parasite Beast, Mechanical Snail...

4. Resting Soil Creatures...

Rules:

Time Fragments 10000/10000×2 (Missing)

Life Fragments 108/10000

...

Fu Qingjun calmly examined the data report, feeling quite tranquil.

Through direct data visualization, he realized just how few life rules he had collected.

And even these few rules had once killed countless strong predecessors in the prehistoric past's seventh-level civilization, triggering an apocalyptic deluge just to gather them...

"The accumulated amount is too little, it's equivalent to starting from the weakest Rule Saint," yet Fu Qingjun was not regretful. Those two complete time rule fragments, though heaven-defying, had long been targeted.

Besides, "Life Rule" is not inferior to the "Time Rule," perhaps even slightly superior as a supreme rule.

The key is, it possesses immense combat power, unlike the previous support-type rule power that couldn't help in battle, leaving everywhere to run...

Fu Qingjun even suspected, during the past such a vigorous effort by Vortex Country to build temporal ancient ships, it was all to capture this initial life rule source, to gain genuine combat ability, but unfortunately, it was destroyed before it could succeed.

"It's starting from scratch, but this is the highest starting point." Fu Qingjun opened the Divine Demon Night Banquet.

At this point, the Divine Demon Night Banquet, with Fu Qingjun's rule completely fulfilled, had already condensed, materializing into existence.

He clearly saw various biological gene bubbles, floating in mid-air, as always waiting to be fused.

"The previous creature fusion function still exists; it's just that with the complete shaping of the Life Rules, it now possesses the ability to evolve species." Fu Qingjun took a deep breath, continuing his research.

This is a significant breakthrough.

Before, it was just a stitch monster; now, it has the capacity for species evolution.

If given a suitable environment, a species will evolve accordingly; in a high-gravity environment, it might gradually develop resistance to gravity; in an electromagnetic storm's extreme condition, it may acquire electromagnetic resistance...

Quite astounding.

Fu Qingjun continued his study, "It's indeed the ultimate concept rule; at a glance, it doesn't seem weaker than the previous Time Rule and seems unbeaten and insolvable."

He's not in a hurry, spending the next few days in study.

During these days of eating, the little loudspeaker kept chatting idly, curious about what was happening next door in Qingshi Town, what His Majesty Ziying of Yin Ruins was up to, and what new technology the Austria Kingdom had developed...

After all, it's about integrating the entire planet into a larger map. Initially, the cities and kingdoms of this World War II-era Earth still exist, and for those ordinary folk of the Great Shaman, they don't really care about what happened; they were very surprised at first, but now feel indifferent to new developments.

For the gods' world, thousands or tens of thousands of years have passed, but for real-time, only a few decades have gone by; mortals who do not cultivate neither know nor care.

At the dining table,

"Recently, our Miao Chun Hall's funding is considered ample, and we plan to send a batch of people to the Gray Light Academy to study and cultivate a generation of strong individuals," Li Mo said, "To seek the Gray Light Goddess's grant of godhood, after all, having a subordinate god of the seventh level is crucial; it's strong combat power and the very foundation of our foothold on this land."

"A subordinate god?" Fu Qingjun ate, raising his eyelids slightly, "Who do you plan to send?"

This era is unlike before, where everyone had a rule, even the weakest saint possessed one.

Now, rules are not readily obtainable; to break through the seventh level, one can only become a subordinate god to a Rule Main God, leveraging the rule projection—Godhood—to break through.

That is, becoming a God of that Pantheon's godhood.

This land is rooted in the Gray Light Kingdom of the Seven-Color Magic Alliance Kingdom, naturally all powerhouses aim to become Godhood Gods of the Gray Light Goddess Amia.

This is also the only opportunity to climb upward.

"Indeed, the era is becoming increasingly dismal and more closed," Fu Qingjun sighed, "No matter how talented or powerful, it's hard to rise in this era."

Heroes arise from currents of events.

Now, mere hundreds of billions of years later, it's not that golden age of endless rule opportunities; without environment, how can heroes be made?

If it weren't for me having the time rule, fear I'd just be like everyone else?

Fu Qingjun's complexion was gentle.

"We plan to enlist the gang leader, Qin Hong, Little Loudspeaker, Baiyu..."

At this moment, Li Mo mentioned the roster, "If we can get the rule goddess Amia to grant us godhood, then we can completely rise; this is the Academy's admission test that happens every hundred years."

Fu Qingjun thought of saying, I probably don't need to.

But hesitated for a moment, always staying idle seemed too unusual...

"I'll just have a reason for an unexpected failure then," Fu Qingjun's heart was calm; he had no interest in attending school, those magic academies held no peace compared to working nine to five at Miao Chun Hall.

However...

Suddenly, Fu Qingjun thought of something.

He took out a light orb, the Immortal Ancestor Bailong.

He once traveled to the distant past and rescued him casually.

"Indeed it was wise then, now unable to time travel; luckily, I saved him from the river of time," Fu Qingjun chuckled.

Though, his reckless use of ancient ships, leading to Jiaxia's exposure and subsequent crazy pursuit did bother him somewhat.

"Bailong, huh?" Fu Qingjun smiled, "The reincarnation of Hermes, reincarnated into this era, could be a rather decent arrangement."
