Under Su Bai's guidance, the transcendent trio ceased their internal power struggles.
Instead, they steeled themselves with determination and turned their eyes outward—toward the universe.
The Evil Eye race, with their superior intellect but fragile bodies,
faced immense challenges in space with their tentacles, singular eyes, and oversized brains.
But most critically—they couldn't fly.
Under the leadership of the Eye Demon, they decided to take the technological route:
crafting space suits and propulsion devices to reach beyond the world's boundaries.
The Unicorn Beetle Beast race, on the other hand, had long sacrificed their minds in devotion to brute force.
Simple-minded to a fault, they didn't overthink it—just charged ahead.
What?
World gravity?
Just get stronger!
What about thin air at high altitudes?
Or the lack of spiritual energy near space, risking starvation?
Easy—just hold your breath longer!
So they evolved a special organ: an air sac to store oxygen.
After further mutations, they even developed a biological combustion device within their bodies.
A set of air tubes controlled burn speed—essentially a living rocket system.
As for cosmic radiation and freezing temperatures?
Under their mighty leader, the Super Bi Beast, they simply stacked armor and fat.
Survival was a matter of will and weight.
Sometimes, the world's toughest challenges really do require sheer stubbornness.
And at the end of the third era, the Super Bi Beast brought Su Bai an immense surprise:
[Late Third Era: The meteor you feared still did not arrive.
But deep in the void, the cosmos began to cast a strange gaze toward this newborn world—especially upon the Lord of the Four Seas.]
[After a period of dormancy, the transcendent trio each made progress in cosmic exploration.]
[The Super Bi Beast led its tribe into the upper atmosphere, forming a flying unit to endure freezing winds.
After hundreds of trials and failed attempts, they finally neared the world's barrier.]
[Using its thick skin and dense muscles, the Super Bi Beast took a deep breath and shot itself beyond the world's edge using its tail nozzle!]
[Without the world's protection, its once-invincible body began to falter under cosmic pressure.
Radiation drained its vitality, its temperature plummeted, and exhaustion set in.]
[The Super Bi Beast felt the unmistakable scent of death.]
"So reckless… even the Lord of the Four Seas wouldn't try that."
Su Bai sighed in regret.
But what followed reignited his hope.
[At the brink of death, the Super Bi Beast erupted with latent potential,
triggering a temporary berserk state and flapping its wings with its last breath to return to the world.]
[With the world's subtle awareness guiding it, gravity once again caught the Super Bi Beast—rescuing it from the void.]
"So the world has a faint consciousness… it recognizes its own children."
A valuable insight.
Back on land, the Super Bi Beast was discouraged—but also inspired.
Exposure to cosmic radiation gave it clear direction for future evolution.
As Su Bai continued to observe, the third era finally came to a close.
Still, no meteor had appeared.
But Su Bai knew—it might be delayed, but it would never be absent.
[Three eras have passed. Land has expanded to 95 kilometers!]
[Warning: The world has reached its limit through passive absorption.
To break through to the next level, external support is required.
Otherwise, progress will stagnate for a long time.]
This message made Su Bai frown.
"We can't reach 100 kilometers?"
From his prior research, each multiple of land area signified a leap in world class.
But relying on passive growth and feedback from the ecosystem…
Could take eons!
The elites—the rich second gens and national seed students—were equipped with generous supplies of resource and land cards,
which fused into the world's origin and massively boosted its stats.
As for the general public…
A popular saying floated among grassroots World Masters online:
"Working a job? Impossible, not in this life. I don't know how to run a world, either.
Picking up space junk's the only way to survive.
Honestly, it feels more like home out in the cosmos than it does at home!"
A speck of cosmic dust…
To a struggling world, it's a mountain.
Su Bai had once been stunned when he first heard it:
"So... World Masters are basically space scavengers?"
"Basically, yeah," his classmate had said, full of admiration.
"And you'd be surprised how many wish they could be one."
Thanks to World Masters cleaning up the stars, space had become much tidier.
"But even the best cook needs ingredients.
I only have the cheapest climate card… this bottleneck's a real headache."
Su Bai was clearly frustrated.
He could feel the world's essence reaching its limit.
Because of the Prehistoric Giant Talent, Tianyuan Realm was under great strain.
Many oversized insects and aquatic beasts felt the pressure of reduced space and food.
The Lord of the Four Seas had already sensed the world's limits an entire era ago.
That's why it started expanding its territory!
"Rising too fast leads to decline… just 5 more kilometers to the next save point.
But how long will that take?"
As he mulled this over, new simulation text appeared:
[Early Fourth Era: World expansion halts.
The behemoths begin to feel the pinch of resource shortages.
Cosmic exploration by the transcendent trio hits a bottleneck.]
[Harsh conditions intensify faith.]
[Faith Points +10!]
[Mid Fourth Era: Expansion remains stalled.
Worse, oxygen and spiritual energy levels drop.
Land shrinks back to 92 kilometers!]
[The giant Rhinoceros Bug that had survived two eras goes extinct.
Ferns wither. Sand dunes spread across the land.]
[Led by the transcendent trio, the beings sense an impending crisis.
Desperate, they launch frequent attempts to breach the universe.]
[Most fail. Only the Super Bi Beast manages to spend increasingly longer stints in space.]
Faith Points had finally seen a breakthrough,
but the overall trend was grim.
"Looks like this run has reached its limit.
To break through… I'll need outside help."
Su Bai sighed in regret.
With a flick of his wrist, a card appeared in his palm.
This might be his only chance to turn the tide.
"Even if it summons an extinction-level disaster… desperate times call for desperate measures.
It's still better than a sudden meteor strike wiping everything out."
Fingering the S-Class card, Su Bai made his decision:
Next simulation, he'd use it.
Just as he prepared to accelerate the process—
An unexpected change occurred!
