As Bai Ze pondered, the system suddenly delivered a notification.
[Ding! Reminder to the host: The system has detected that only 12 hours are remaining in this round of competition.]
[Your current points remain at 0. If you continue to simulate at this pace, there may not be enough time.]
Sixteen hours had already passed, and the outside world was in chaos.
Some even believed that Bai Ze had given up.
Although he had previously produced commander-level beings and had extensive experience in developing planets, this was not his first attempt at this endeavor.
But with only 12 hours left, even the god-tier elites from the imperial capital wouldn't be able to produce anything remarkable.
Not to mention that Bai Ze's opponent was Zhong Peng, whose points were nearing 8,000!
Meanwhile, Zhong Peng, gazing at the extraordinary beings he had created most notably the crowd-favorite nanobots looked at Bai Ze's scoreboard, which still displayed a big, fat zero, and smiled with confidence.
"Even if you're a rare genius, what can you do with only 12 hours left?"
"The outcome is decided!"
"You might as well accept being the stepping stone on my path to divine supremacy."
...
However, Bai Ze, hearing the system's announcement, remained calm.
"Twelve hours, huh..."
"That's more than enough!"
Who said he was planning to develop the world further?
This round of simulation had already exhausted everything; it was now or never.
"No need to worry. Continue the simulation process."
At Bai Ze's command, time began to flow again.
[Early Fifth Era: The creation of the Mortal Heaven Technique restored the fractured cultivation system. The nearly depleted spiritual energy of the heavens and earth also began to recover.]
[Cultivators from both the human and demon races practiced the Mortal Heaven Technique. Despite maintaining their cultivation speed, they no longer drained the world's energy. Peace returned, and both sides retreated to their respective territories.]
[The site where the Mortal Emperor fell was declared the Mountain of Imperial Burial by both races. High-ranking officials from both sides collaborated to establish a pact, designating it as a forbidden area.]
[No matter what happens in the future, this place must not be desecrated or disturbed, allowing the First Emperor to rest in peace.]
[After the world stabilized, Aurora also left with her floating crystal island, leaving behind only a small dragon to guard the Mountain of Imperial Burial.]
[She called it protecting the First Emperor's eternal rest, but in truth, you ordered this, wanting the little one to absorb more spiritual energy and grow faster.]
"Does the system have to be so blunt? Makes me feel embarrassed."
Bai Ze shrugged, feeling as though the system was targeting him.
But on closer reflection, the little dragon had indeed grown considerably.
Its body now measured at least ten meters in length, large enough for Aurora to ride.
However, something seemed off about it.
"System, activate the Divine Eye."
[Ding! Target identified: Holy Spirit King Dragon. Divine Eye activated.]
[Name: Holy Spirit King Dragon]
[Level: Mid-stage Commander Level]
[Status: Juvenile]
"It's already in its juvenile stage? That's fast!" Bai Ze was slightly surprised.
Upon closer inspection, the little dragon had indeed matured significantly. While still adorable, it now carried a hint of majesty.
Aside from its usual playful growls, it occasionally let out powerful roars such as the one that had earlier startled the Mortal Emperor.
Unfortunately, his four extraordinary creations had all been wiped out, resetting him to square one.
"Oh well, you win some, you lose some."
"Now that the system has stabilized, development will accelerate."
Despite his words, Bai Ze remained silent, holding a glowing card in his hand.
"But just to be safe, let's grant them another boon from their god!"
With that, he flipped the card.
[Bloodline Amplification (Grade B Item Card)]: This card can be used three times.
Description: When used, it significantly enhances creatures with existing bloodlines, granting them immense power. For creatures without bloodlines, it bestows a temporary bloodline during critical moments.
Originally intended for use during conquests, Bai Ze realized it could also be utilized for development, so he brought it along.
Given the current abundance of spiritual energy, he wondered what kind of bloodlines would emerge.
"System, use the item card."
[Ding! Please select the target for the application.]
[Note: The smaller the application range, the stronger the amplification effect.]
Bai Ze hesitated only briefly before responding, "Apply it to the entire world!"
[Ding! Command received. Grade B Item Card: Bloodline Amplification activated!]
[Mid-Fifth Era: A mysterious and indescribable force descended from the heavens, merging with the world's spiritual energy.]
[Many newborns absorbed this energy at birth, their bloodlines surging with power. Various phenomena accompanied their births, and they were born with unique constitutions!]
[Some had water-affinity bloodlines, others controlled fire, and these gifted children became known as the Chosen.]
[As more and more bloodlines emerged, they were categorized and named. The most powerful included the Innate Dao Body, Chaos Divine Physique, and Exquisite Heavenly Veins.]
[This unprecedented wave of bloodline awakenings was attributed to none other than the divine being above all: the Heavenly Dao.]
[People began to revere the Heavenly Dao, acknowledging it as the source of their newfound strength and the ruler of their existence.]
[The dragon left by the Heavenly Dao was henceforth known as the Divine Dragon.]
[During this time, some cultivators attempted to locate the Celestial Realm and the divine being, but all efforts failed.]
[The only proof of the Heavenly Dao's existence, aside from historical records, was the invincible Divine Dragon residing on the Mountain of Imperial Burial a deterrent to all challengers and a testament to the Heavenly Dao's might.]
[Meanwhile, after the Mortal Emperor's death, the Mortal Heaven Sect became the dominant power in the human domain. To honor the Mortal Emperor's sacrifice, it was renamed the Mortal Heaven Empire.]
[The empire was governed by four Celestial Thrones representing the Four Sacred Beasts. The six sect masters, recognizing their past mistakes, voluntarily retreated into seclusion, vowing never to interfere with worldly affairs again.]
[This shift abolished the previous system where mortal kingdoms were vassals under the protection of sects.]
[To prevent chaos, the Mortal Heaven Empire decreed a new hierarchy, with the empire, holy lands, and sects governing their respective territories.]
"A feudal system of cultivation clans, huh?"
"Interesting, but compared to the vassal states of the original world, this setup seems even messier."
"Individual powerhouses exceeding the empire's control will likely cause rapid turnover in leadership."
Bai Ze found the approach flawed but decided to observe as an onlooker.
[Since the decree, powerful forces like the Supreme Mystic Holy Land, Exquisite Holy Land, and Heavenly Fire Holy Land emerged.]
[They established a system of succession through Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, replacing Holy Lords to govern their sects and subordinate regions.]
[Thus, the Age of Imperial Burial came to an end.]
[Blessed by the heavens during this era, the world flourished, ushering in prosperity.]
[This marked the transition into the Era of Mortal Heaven's Unification within the Primeval Age.]
