Chapter 318: Visiting Rui Zi! The Origin of Gods! Finally Becoming a Divine Body!

Earth, the headquarters of the Super God Academy.

It used to be only a branch of the Super God Academy.

But as the super warriors of the Divine River civilization system began to awaken, and with Rui Zi's return, this branch turned into the legitimate main campus.

The great civilizations that once took part in building the Super God Academy have now fragmented, and especially the scholars of that era are now few and far between.

On the angel side only He Xi remains, on the demon side there is Mogan Na, plus Karl from the Dead Song Academy.

The rest are either dead or have fled to distant corners of the universe to pursue scientific truth.

In a sense, the Denor Star System is an extension of the Divine River, and Space Principal Ji Lan poured great effort there; the Denor leadership, headed by Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao, also took part in the Super God Academy's research.

Coupled with the gene inheritance under the Divine River system, it makes sense that Earth's Super God Academy became the headquarters.

Of course, the main reason is that Earth lacks extremism, aligning better with the Super God Academy's original purpose.

Sitting in an office, Chu Yang fiddled with the Klein bottle in his hand.

Although he received this contraption from Qiang Wei, he was at a loss.

The Klein bottle is a product of four-dimensional space; three-dimensional beings can barely comprehend it, but find it hard to wield.

In the original plot, the reason Qiang Wei could partially harness the Klein bottle's power was that she could enter higher dimensions via her spacetime sequence ability.

Before merging the Extreme Gene, Chu Yang cannot achieve this; even if he could, he could only enter higher dimensions within the Super God World, not in other worlds.

Therefore, for Chu Yang, understanding the Klein bottle's intrinsic value is even more important.

However, whether Pan Gu or the Soul Palace's "research team," progress on the Klein bottle has been scant.

At that moment, footsteps sounded outside the door; Chu Yang waved the Klein bottle away as the office door was pushed open.

An elderly man with extremely sparse hair, round glasses, and a slightly stooped figure entered, and when he saw Chu Yang, he was momentarily taken aback.

Chu Yang smiled and greeted, "Professor Rui Zi, I've long heard of your great name."

Rui Zi scanned Chu Yang from head to toe, his eyes lighting up slightly, "You are… Chu Yang?"

Chu Yang nodded, "It's me. I came today because I have some questions to ask Professor Rui."

Chu Yang held a measure of respect for this old‑school scholar who had lived through countless ages and possessed profound understanding of space and runes.

Rui Zi chuckled, "No need for such formality. Strictly speaking, you're not a student of the Super God Academy."

"I've heard of Pan Gu and the Extreme Gene; in the realms of technology and genetics, you already stand at the universe's pinnacle."

"Learning has no hierarchy; those who have attained become teachers. I can't claim to be your teacher!"

Rui Zi, very relaxed, swiftly brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Chu Yang.

After both settled on the sofa, Rui Zi smiled and asked, "You said you came today because you have questions to ask?"

"But don't get your hopes too high; if even you can't grasp the problem, I'm probably powerless as well."

Chu Yang waved his hand, "This issue isn't academic; perhaps only those who helped build the Super God Academy back then would know a thing or two."

"Kaisha is dead; she left little information about that era in the Sacred Knowledge Vault."

"Karl could never unravel this for me, and Mogan Na only has a half‑understanding…"

In fact, during the Super God Academy's heyday, only a handful stood at the apex of universal science.

Kaisha counts as one, Karl as another, and besides them there's Ji Lan and the Rui before Chu Yang.

Admittedly, whether it's He Xi, the Sky‑Base King, or Liang Bing, the Heavenly Enlightenment King of those days, both were geniuses among geniuses, even comparable to Karl and Kaisha.

Kaisha once said that if He Xi hadn't accompanied her on campaigns, she would have achieved even greater academic feats.

Liang Bing—who is Mogan Na—maxed out her talent, but she specialized in spacetime sequences, the hardest known field in the universe.

In truth, Karl and Mogan Na are talents of the same tier; the former, however, wields the Great Clock and is even more insane and extreme.

Mogan Na is enamored with the spacetime realm, and having been imprisoned by Kaisha for a time, she knows little about the "cosmic truth."

He Xi, who also roams the battlefields, is the same.

At present, only Rui Zi and Karl remain who could untangle Chu Yang's doubts.

Rui Zi squinted, vaguely deducing some matters from Chu Yang's words.

Chu Yang inhaled deeply, "Not long ago I visited Angel Star, causing a massive spatial collapse; Space Principal met with me because of it."

"He hopes I can restrain my power to maintain stability of spacetime and the cosmic expanse."

"I want to know why."

Chu Yang leaned forward slightly, "If the universe's orderly operation requires absolutely stable space, how then do we explain the existence of black holes?"

Black holes are inherently unstable and can wreak massive destruction on cosmic space.

The damage Chu Yang caused on the 19th Defense Line was great, yet still far short of a black hole's full‑scale eruption.

Upon hearing him, Rui Zi was momentarily stunned—not by the question itself, but by the sheer impossibility of someone causing a large‑scale spatial collapse single‑handedly. Yet recalling Chu Yang's deeds and Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao's assessment of him, Rui Zi relaxed, thought briefly, and said:

"We can view black holes as natural phenomena governed by the Heavenly Dao; even if they cause great damage, the natural cycle will eventually compensate."

"But if large‑scale destruction of cosmic space is caused artificially and repeatedly, it inflicts irreversible damage, undermining spatial stability."

"You're familiar with the concept of secondary beings; once the primary universe's space destabilizes, it may be invaded by sub‑planes or lower‑dimensional spaces."

"Such threats arise not only from the void but also from other entities."

Chu Yang nodded thoughtfully; Rui Zi's explanation was clear and accessible.

Immediately after, Chu Yang's expression grew solemn as he said, "I want to know about the cosmic truth, historical fissures, or prehistoric civilizations…"

Rui Zi's expression brightened; after a long silence he slowly asked, "Have you ever wondered where the concept of 'god' originated before god‑level civilizations appeared?"

A flash of insight sparked in Chu Yang's eyes, a sudden feeling of enlightenment.

God! Before the rise of theocracy, before the great civilizations of the universe had discovered the super gene, why did the concept of god exist? "You mean…" Chu Yang's gaze flickered.

Rui Zi nodded, "Prehistory!"

"Theology is the last piece of information left from prehistory; Professor Ding Heige once hypothesized that before the historical fissure, the primary universe truly belonged to the age of gods."

"Technology and genetics are merely later humans' attempts to replicate divine power through technical means." "Professor Ding Heige believes that a hundred thousand years ago a catastrophe likely struck the universe, causing the gods to fall, civilizations to perish, and life to restart."

Through analysis of the universe, the Super God Academy concluded that the disaster was a big bang, but the cause of the explosion remains unknown.

After all, no one can imagine how terrifying a blast that engulfed the entire known universe would be.

Chu Yang pondered and asked, "So the Earth is related to the prehistoric gods?"

Rui Zi took a deep breath and said, "We have confirmed the existence of the Heavenly Dao, yet it eludes grasp and cannot be investigated."

The Heavenly Dao Tower of the Li Yang Civilization can connect with the Heavenly Dao and absorb its essence.

In the known universe, some civilizations have preserved fragments of words from the prehistoric era…

For example, the Heavenly Court, and also the Divine Continent…

Rui Zi paused, then added, "You must have guessed that the great civilizations converge on Earth because Earth hides a tremendous secret."

Only few know that this secret concerns the prehistoric era and the deities.

Aside from the principal, only I understand that the secret lies not in Earth but in Huaxia!

Huaxia, the Divine Continent, was once the land of fallen gods, witnessing the twilight of the deities!

Rui Zi shook his head and sighed, "That's all I know, and there have been no discoveries on the Divine Continent itself."

All these years, the only anomaly has been Teacher Wu.

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow; Sun Wukong is a genetic code hidden in myth, and he may be linked to the prehistoric civilization.

But compared to Sun Wukong, Teacher Wu, who uncovered this genetic code and cultivated it, is even more mysterious!

"Prehistoric stuff is all in the past; we cannot trace it nor investigate it."

Rui Zi spread his hands, "Professor Ding Heige once tried to forcefully probe this secret, but ultimately encountered immense terror, endangering himself."

"Karl knows far less about the prehistoric era than I do, yet he inferred the doctrine of ultimate fear from the Great Clock's records concerning Professor Ding Heige."

"He is a genius who traced the source of fear to the void, but no one knows the true truth."

Chu Yang pondered for a long while, then slowly rose and politely said, "Thank you, Teacher Rui, for clearing my doubts!"

Rui Zi pointed at the tea table and laughed, "Won't you stay for another cup of tea?"

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I've benefited greatly today, so I won't trouble Teacher Rui any further."

Rui Zi nodded and did not press the matter, but as Chu Yang reached the doorway, he suddenly said, "Regarding the historical fissure, the truth may not lie in the void; perhaps the unknown universe still harbors some divine realms…"

Chu Yang halted his steps, then pushed the door open and left.

The void, black holes, the unknown universe.

Heavenly Dao, the prehistoric era, the age of gods.

The insights gained from Rui Zi made Chu Yang increasingly interested in the cosmic truth of the Super God World.

Dou Qi Continent, Jama Empire, Yun Lan Sect.

Chu Yang sat beside a stone table in the back‑mountain courtyard, leisurely sipping tea, occasionally flicking his finger at the clouds above, constantly forming various shapes.

He was trying to simulate the structure of a medicine cauldron with clouds, but the results were always unsatisfactory.

Casting a cauldron is not difficult, but finding suitable material is.

The cauldron obtained from the Alchemist Guild back then became overloaded during the forging of the Ten Thousand Longevity Pill and turned into scrap metal.

The higher the grade of the pill, the stronger its medicinal power, and the greater the energy fluctuation when the pill matures, which ordinary cauldrons cannot endure.

Because of this, Chu Yang's alchemy hit another bottleneck; normally he can only craft low‑grade pills in his spare time to ease the Yun Lan Sect's pill supply pressure.

Through this period of cultivation, his level has reached the Second Star Dou Saint Peak, yet the various forces targeting the Yun Lan Sect have not fully mobilized.

In the northwest region, winds and clouds rise as strongmen and top continental powers gather, but none has struck the Yun Lan Sect first.

Instead, some long‑standing rivals among strongmen or factions have frequently clashed over the past half‑month, resulting in many bloody incidents.

Chu Yang knows this is like a fuse; those hidden behind the scenes will soon become restless.

The mastermind intends to exploit the major forces to launch a joint assault on the Yun Lan Sect and reap the fisherman's profit, but if those forces turn on each other first, his scheme will fall flat.

Therefore, the opponent will provoke the Yun Lan Sect before the contradictions intensify and internal strife spreads.

The war between the Flame Alliance and the Three Great Empires has finally settled.

With the Poison Sect leader Little Medic Immortal defecting and the Heavenly Snake Mansion fully backing, the Flame Alliance launched a desperate counterattack, nearly wiping out the Luoyan Empire, the Mulan Empire, and the hidden Soul Hall strongmen in one sweep.

During this time, the Yun Lan Sect slowed its expansion, focusing on strengthening sect cohesion and formalizing its regulations.

It is worth mentioning that Yun Yun, Na Lan Yanran, as well as Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong, are advancing at a rocket‑like speed.

The Imperial Rank cultivation method, though only a simplified version of the Primordial Qi secret, is not to be underestimated; Yun Yun's strength has already surged to the Dou Sect Peak, just one step away from Dou Zun.

Na Lan Yanran has broken through to the Eight‑Star Dou Emperor, and in the absence of Chu Yang and Xiao Yan, she is undoubtedly the top young talent of the Jama Empire.

In terms of cultivation alone, even Xiao Yan cannot keep up.

Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong spend the whole day like a dragon seen only by its head, earning them the title of treasure‑seeking youths under Chu Yang; while rapidly boosting their own strength, they also occasionally bring Chu Yang some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Chu Yang currently lacks a suitable cauldron, but he has amassed enough foundation to support the forging of large quantities of eighth‑grade pills.

He once tried to create a cauldron with the Pan Gu Concept Rewriter, but it unquestionably failed.

It shares a principle with the wormhole algorithm; the material concepts of the Dou Qi world differ entirely from those of the Super God World, rendering the Concept Rewriter useless.

At that moment, Chu Yang's movement suddenly froze as the ever‑changing clouds in the sky burst with a thunderous crack, and a terrifying momentum surged skyward.

Simultaneously, Chu Yang used Primordial Qi to shield the entire Yun Lan Sect, preventing the aura from leaking out.

In the small courtyard, Chu Yang radiated shimmering light, as if a banished immortal draped in sunrise descended to the mortal world, or an ancient deity reappeared among mortals.
