1738: Chapter 1734: Resolution 1738: Chapter 1734: Resolution On the matter of world destruction, the God Above Gods of the Octopus Series is the professional.

After all, it’s nothing special—just expertise sharpened by practice.

The Golden Crow is melting the Arctic glaciers, and it will completely alter the planet’s ecology.

Not simply raising sea levels to transform the planet into something as “gentle” as Mercury—what’s even more lethal is the constant rise in the Firebird’s stability.

The heat from that rootless flame is continuously seeping into the atmosphere, and the sky remains baked by two suns, one of which hangs too close to the surface.

Evidently, the God Above Gods has no intention of preserving this world—it plans to erase it entirely.

That gluttonous, insatiable Evil Beast, impervious to blades and bullets and unmatched in combat power, exists solely to hunt and annihilate advanced combat forces, including deities, eradicating the mighty beings upon the surface.

Based on feedback from the frontline, even with divine reinforcement, that monstrosity remains absurdly powerful, and there is no hope of victory in the short term.

If the ultimate outcome is failing to kill it… it will consume all the gods and advanced combat forces eventually.

The Multi-Headed Dragon dissolving into the ocean may seem harmless, but it is far more insidious.

“Those infinitely reproducing Disaster Dragons could completely drive surface and marine life forms to extinction.”

Lu Ping’an has already collected countless specimens and flesh samples, and various reports from other high-tier biological scholars have all concluded with an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Its combat power isn’t particularly strong, but its reproductive capability is boundlessly despair-inducing, and its lowest seventh-tier combat power… for most human populations, this is effectively an apocalyptic threat.

Seventh-tier may not seem like much to Lu Ping’an now, especially when compared to seventh-tier demons whose strength falls far short of seventh-tier professionals.

But when one of them climbs ashore near a coastal city… combat forces won’t arrive in time to assist, and the entire city may well be doomed.

No matter how powerful “Xingtian” is, even if no one defeats it in the end, it’s still just a single being—its efficiency in slaughter is inherently limited.

No matter how strong or swift it becomes, humanity can still eke out survival… it might kill slower than humans can reproduce.

Humans can avoid it and slowly drag things out, but the God Above Gods clearly cannot afford to drag things out.

The Dragon-Snake may appear weak, but in reality, it’s the most terrifying biological weapon.

Its infinite reproduction ensures that no population can withstand the tide of nearly limitless seventh-tier creatures… eventually, these Dragon-Snakes will be the sole survivors, and the world will utterly perish.

To make things worse, its overwhelming reproductive rate, undying body, and absurdly high base combat power for mortals leave virtually no clear solution.

“When addressing biological invasion, the best solution is always natural predators… if none exist within nature, then we’ll create them.”

Lu Ping’an’s face was marked by exhaustion—he couldn’t even remember how long he’d been working overtime or how many Dragon-Snakes he had personally killed.

The strength of those creatures was genuinely no laughing matter, with their partial divinity granting them sickening defensive power, resistance, and regeneration ability.

Even after finally killing one, considerable effort was required to completely destroy its corpse, or else it might inadvertently assist their reproduction.

Using top combat power for the hunt seems almost akin to using a cannon against mosquitoes, and the results show that these “cannons” are nearing their limit while the “mosquitos” remain infinite.

Lu Ping’an bore the brunt of the hunter assignments—not because he had it any easier fighting them, but because others faced death in droves, expending lives to pile up results, which was even less feasible.

“Don’t you find the abilities of those Dragon-Snakes somewhat familiar…?”

“Uh, it’s precisely because they’re familiar that I can’t fathom how they manage it.”

The infinitely reproducing undying body, at its core, is simply “life splitting.” And this was also something Lu Ping’an witnessed as part of the Ten Thousand Spirits—a subordinate concept of his rule, the “flow of life”… Clearly, the God Above Gods is vastly stronger than Lu Ping’an since he was entirely unable to analyze how such existences came to be.

“Why is it that no matter how they split, their strength never dips below the rule-level…”

This was a mystery Lu Ping’an couldn’t comprehend but desperately wanted to understand.

According to his logic, the “total energy/contamination” should remain conserved—continuous splitting would naturally divide it indefinitely.

Why, then, was the weakest iteration still above seventh-tier?

Could this ability to directly violate energy conservation and create something from nothing be one of the God Above Gods’ rules?

Lu Ping’an vaguely realized that if he could “obtain” this module, his rule could advance significantly.

But right now was clearly not the time to leisurely conduct research and pen academic papers…

“The seventh ‘Snake Hunting’ seminar begins.

Does anyone have new ideas or breakthroughs?

Please speak freely…”

Lord Xiu Yi, presiding over the remote meeting, also rarely showed signs of exhaustion.

This burden wouldn’t be handed to a novice like Lu Ping’an first—long-established Quasi-Gods bore significantly greater pressure.

Over recent days, countless attempts had already been made, yet still to no avail.

The issue wasn’t merely that the problem was too difficult—it was that the “question itself” was incomprehensible… Unable to understand or analyze the source of this infinite reproduction, the solution naturally eluded them.

All sorts of biological weapons and toxins had been tried—there was some effect, but far from adequate overall.

It was like trying to solve a rat infestation with poison and traps—you might end up with a few dead rats, but what difference does it make to the rat population of the entire neighborhood or the world?

Lu Ping’an sighed as he stared at the blank screen where no one spoke.

Previous meetings were far from this—they would always have participants offering immature or seemingly unfeasible proposals.

Once these gained the recognition of a few Big Shots, they essentially became official projects… pooling resources from these Big Shots, leveraging all accelerative capabilities and individual assets, they’d sometimes outpace even research institutes in efficiency.

Whether it succeeded or not, whether the effects were visible—quick simulations and accelerations could reveal the expected outcomes rapidly.

No need to feign funding here—considering the strength of their opponents, even “subpar yet promising” results would be immediately dismissed.

If the solution couldn’t yield results in the short term, it was utterly meaningless… The world wouldn’t wait for you to finish your lab work!

This time, none of the Big Shots held back—many projects, barely initiated, left Lu Ping’an astonished at the sheer ingenuity.

Their accumulated knowledge far exceeded Lu Ping’an’s own, and merely observing their approaches and progress yielded tremendous insight for him.

Yet, as one promising project after another prematurely ended, and others slowly hit insurmountable bottlenecks… the inevitable outcome was clear—everyone was simply resigned.

In the short term, hope seemed absent, but everyone knew the longer they delayed, the more exponentially difficult this issue would become.

The sixth meeting had already devolved into a “failure report conference” riddled with despair.

The seventh appeared to be headed the same way.

But at this moment, Lu Ping’an rubbed his chin—perhaps it was time for this junior to step up.

“I do have a plan here—maybe it could work.

In truth, we don’t need to understand the question’s premise; we only need the answer… We don’t need to know how it operates, only how to reverse it.

And conveniently, I happen to have a fully developed World’s Reason in hand.”

As everyone’s attention immediately shifted toward him, Lu Ping’an took a moment to consider.

He understood that keeping this hidden was not an option.

After all, the difficulty of this project was daunting, and he required assistance and resources.

At this juncture, that particular name might serve as his most persuasive bargaining chip.

“You may have already guessed… Yes, it involves the Mother Goddess.

Perhaps, we can create another Balance Disaster Beast.”
