Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1244: Dual-line operation begins!
At this moment, Luo Jia achieved a civilizational victory in World 777, but for Xia Xiu outside the red scar, only half an hour had passed.

Blackrock Fortress remains on the outer edge of the dimensional reduction blockade zone, the flames of [Panglaus] still burn in the distance, and the red black hole continues to rotate quietly. From the outside, nothing seems to have changed significantly, but within the red scar, nearly a hundred cycles of civilization's rise and fall have already occurred.

On the psychic throne, Xia Xiu looked at the contents of the [Narrative Book] that had been automatically archived, his fingertips hovering over the edge of the pages, not turning them for a long time.

Through this round of narrative intervention, he has roughly figured out how the red scar works.

The external form of this thing is a huge red bubble wrapped in the flames of [Panglaus]. It comes from an old wound left by the Red King. That wound crossed the long turbulent ether and the time fault, and only today has it emerged from the disordered ether and been captured by the Eldar, the Gate Empire and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Inside this giant bubble, a collection of Wo Wutu, independent of the Red King's original body, has been born.

This collective entity yearns to break free from the flames, yet it cannot directly tear open the blockade left by [Panglaus]. Therefore, it begins to drive the giant bubble to evolve on its own, giving birth to one miniature world after another within it, and establishing miniature world laws that even they themselves cannot arbitrarily violate.

As a result, countless smaller bubbles were generated inside the large bubble.

These tiny bubbles each evolved into their own higher-level narratives of civilization—Gaia consciousness and Alaya consciousness.

At the same time, they set war cycles and technological routes, allowing them to develop on independent stages sealed within red wounds, where civilizations were born, developed, fought, and destroyed.

Then, they turn history, faith, war, heroes, disasters, and traces of existence into nourishment that the Wowutu collective can devour.

The Wowutu collective hopes to provide itself with a sufficiently large amount of sustenance through the self-interpretation of countless bubbles.

This can be considered self-production and self-consumption—they eat what they produce themselves, and the more they eat, the more they get, and the stronger they become, until they can ascend to heaven by stepping on their own feet.

Wo Wutu first allows civilizations to grow, then civilizations to wage war, and then civilizations to devour each other. Once these civilizations have accumulated enough historical weight and traces of existence, it will gradually consume these achievements through pollution, distorted civilizations, the incarnation of the Corpse King, and various proxy disasters.

It eats up small bubbles and also makes big bubbles grow bigger.

Once all the small bubbles have been refined, the red scar itself will grow from the Red King's old wound into a massive entity capable of breaking free from the [Panglaus] flame seal.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiu couldn't help but gently tap the armrest of the throne.

"The Red King is indeed terrifying. No wonder those four troublemakers wanted to kill him. After all, if he doesn't die, both the Aether and the mortal world will feel uneasy."

The wounds left behind by the Red King and the remnants of supreme divinity alone were able to evolve into this structure over a long period of time, and even give birth to the Wo Wutu Collective, a civilization predator that exists between non-existence and existence.

He has now decided that he must join the Four Monarchs in killing the Red King and nailing his coffin shut so that this ancient god can never be resurrected.

However, we still need to deal with the red scar issue. Without external interference, the red scar should have been operating slowly according to the script of the Wo Wutu collective.

Gaia consciousness is responsible for driving the growth of natural civilization, Alaya consciousness is responsible for driving the aggregation of wisdom civilization, and the Wowu group is responsible for harvesting at key points. The three parties continuously cycle in the sandbox, turning countless bubbles of civilization into sufficiently thick nourishment.

This was originally a story from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The Wowutu collective sits behind the scenes, waiting for Gaia, Alaya, and their own proxy civilization to slowly grow fat, and then they can swallow all the fruits of their labor.

But it didn't expect that the red scar would emerge from the depths of the ether and appear in the world. Naturally, this appearance first attracted the attention of its mortal enemy, the Eldar.

Then, the Winged Emperor, that entertainer from the Gate Empire who opened doors everywhere, arrived.

Finally, the Terra Guardian Kingdom also turned its attention to this place. Xia Xiu, who had just obtained the [Overflowing Light of the Sky], directly stuffed the [Narrative Book] into its Sandbox Rules.

Thus, the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms instantly transformed into a gathering of wise men.

At this moment, Xia Xiu also began to understand a part of the Red King's [World Bubble] ability—self-interpretation (virtual).

Whether it's a big bubble or a small bubble, no matter how incredibly advanced the civilization within it is, it's all "illusion"; and you in a game, no matter how powerful you are, are still fake, not real.

No matter how advanced the technology developed in the bubble world, once the bubble bursts, it will just be an illusion on the side of the road.

Based on this, he speculated that this bubble actually has another ability: to turn the illusory into the real.

While it cannot be guaranteed that everything will become 100% real, simply bringing a certain stage of civilization to life in the present world, even with time limitations, is an incredibly powerful ability.

"This ability... is very similar to a certain part of Yahweh's power, and Yahweh's Gospel Throne was also transformed from an illusion into reality."

Xia Xiu couldn't help but think of the Supreme Program, but now was not the time to think about these things. He still needed to accompany Wo Wutu to finish the Sandbox World War.

These idiots are so inconsiderate! How can they play games in their own little world without his permission?

At this moment, High Priestess Falla Ontius of the Eldar stood below the Psionic Throne. She was unaware of Xia Xiu's domineering thoughts; she was only looking at the ever-updating world record of 777 on the platinum table.

She could sense that the world, which was originally just a module on the edge of the red scar, had been completely unified by the Covenant Kingdom. The civilizational incarnation of the Worthless Collective there was personally killed by Luo Jia, and the Eldar proxy civilization also voluntarily submitted.

She knew very well what this meant.

The fourth swordsman of Heaven used only half an hour from the outside world to pierce through a complete miniature garden inside the red scar.

Moreover, the Holy Word King named Roger Abraham has grown into a civilization leader capable of entering the main battlefield during this process.

Xia Xiu ignored the expression on the Spirit Clan High Priest's face and continued to stare at the [Narrative Book], preparing to teach the Wo Wutu group a good lesson.

The victory at 777 Worlds only granted him a place in the game.

The true core of the Red Scar lies deep within the world's main battlefield, where the civilization of the Star Sea Era resides, where the deeper path left by the Emperor of the Gate Empire lies, where the sustenance truly values ​​the Undisciples of Wo is found, and where the aura of another perfect embryo lingers.

[The 777th World Regional Civilization Victory has been archived.]

The Covenant Kingdom enters a period of cross-border protection.

[Protection period remaining: 100 rounds.]

[The Outer Boundary Battlefield is now open—]

[A passage has been generated at the edge of the main world battlefield.]

"Only by bursting a small bubble can you get a ticket to enter the depths of a large bubble."

He raised his hand and turned to the next page. The blurry outline of the large bubble world appeared on the page, and countless small bubble worlds hung like a cluster of stars inside the red scar. Each one represented a module of civilization that was at war, developing, or being swallowed up.

"Luo Jia's newbie protection period has one hundred rounds left, which is enough time for him to digest the 777 world into a true rear base."

Xia Xiu's fingertips landed in the deepest part of the Five Hundred Worlds, a place of great suffering and scorching heat. That was the most fertile region. Only by dominating the Five Hundred Worlds could one gain control of the Great Bubble. His [Black Mark] reacted very clearly.

Only by dominating the five hundred worlds can one be qualified to touch the control of the Great Bubble.

His reaction to the "black mark" was very clear.

The last, unseen thirteenth prince was in that most chaotic, most fertile, and also most dangerous main battlefield.

"Is the thirteenth brother, whom I've never met, already in such a hellish situation from the start, waging a chaotic war alone in five hundred worlds?"

Xia Xiu murmured something, his fingertips slowly tracing the pages of the [Narrative Book]. The pages then revealed the 777 World, the edge passage of the Great Bubble World, the cross-dimensional protection period, and the technology development tree. Luo Jia had just conquered the 777 World, and the Covenant Kingdom already possessed a complete home-planetary industrial base. However, in the main battlefield of the Great Bubble World, this level was merely a barely qualifying entry ticket.

A new system of civilization stages also began to unlock after Luo Jia unified the world.

【Ninth Tier: Starry Sea Voyage】

[Tenth Order - Faster-than-Light Expansion]

[Eleventh Tier - Interstellar Empire]

【Twelfth Order: The Era of Megastructures】

[Thirteenth Tier - Galaxy Hegemony]

[Fourteenth Order - The Ascension Era]

[Tier 15 - The Final Cataclysm]

There are already multiple civilizations from the [Starship] era there, some of which have even completed cross-world colonization and the construction of orbital fleets. If Luo Jia were to rush in with his current technology, even with the protection period, he would be turned into a material package by the higher-level civilizations at the edge.

So the first step is to turn the 777 world into the true rear base of the Covenant Kingdom, which means he has to give Luo Jia even more cheat codes!

Given the current situation, he needs to help Luo Jia develop to the "Starship Voyage" level within twenty rounds. Then, he will fully support him, provide extensive guidance, and assign Luo Jia various scientific officers, administrative officers, and commanders to solidify the foundation of interstellar civilization.

Finally, through the "Master Creator's" crazy loan of the technological products already established in the Sandbox World, the world progressed to the "Interstellar Empire" era in eighty rounds.

Lao Xia has completely dropped the pretense now. I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm going to... oh no, to put it more politely.

Having mastered the art of wielding power in the form of a book, one can sever narratives within a thousand realms of bubbles.

I came to ask questions, but there was nothing more to say; the book was in my palm, and it opened on its own.

The cheat was set up by the [Narrative Book] itself, what does it have to do with me, Xia Xiu?!

I, Xia Xiu, absolutely did not use any cheats—I never create cheats, I'm just a cheat delivery person!!!

He raised his hand and wrote a series of outrageous annotations on the pages of the book, letting Luo Jia experience what it meant to be supported by his "upper-class narrator father."

All those systems are nothing compared to the [upper-level narrators].

[Protection Period 21 to 60: The Covenant Kingdom enters a phase of faster-than-light expansion.]

[When the Academy of Stellar Sciences of the Covenant dreamt, they saw the indescribable and great Creator recorded in the Covenant. He mercifully bestowed upon them blueprints and annotations. With the Creator's grace, the scientists completed the theory of hyperspace navigation, observation of warp anchor points, interstellar colony ships, frigate-class hulls, star base modules, and interstellar communication protocols.]

[Luo Jia appointed Administrator Bai Huan as the Star Sector Governor, responsible for expanding the 777 World's local administrative system to include orbital cities, resource satellites, colonial outposts, and interstellar ports.]

The Covenant Nation established its first stellar base—Monazia Starport—and, using it as a core, dispatched colony ships, mining vessels, and research ships to three surrounding resource star systems.

[New technologies unlocked: Hyperspace travel routes, frigate hulls, stellar bases, colony ships, research vessels, mining platforms, and basic energy shields.]

[New municipalities unlocked: Sector Governor's Residence, Colonial Charter, Interstellar Admiralty, Star Tax Law, Intergalactic Population Migration Law.]

[New military units unlocked: Covenant Frigate, Orbital Marine, Starport Defense Battery, Colonial Escort Squadron.]

During this phase, the "scientist officers, administrators, and commanders" appointed by Xia Xiu began to truly play their role.

The science officer is responsible for developing the technology tree, the administrative officer is responsible for expanding the 777 world's native system to the sector, and the commander is responsible for making the Covenant Nation's newly formed interstellar fleet combat-ready.

The first Starfleet commander appointed by Lorgard was named Orion.

This young general comes from the Blacksail Bay naval system and has participated in the Ironclad Wars and the Mostronian strategic strikes. Now, he is being pushed onto a new stage by Xia Xiu's narrative and becomes the commander of the first interstellar escort fleet of the Covenant Nation.

Subsequently, the development of civilization reached a bottleneck. This was not because Lao Xia was not capable, but because the cheats also needed to be digested. After all, there were too many cheats, and Luo Jia couldn't handle them all at once.

So, for the next forty rounds, Luo Jia was desperately trying to digest the valuable resources his father had left him.

Finally, in the sixtieth round, Luo Jia successfully digested these cheat codes.

Xia Xiu, worried that his child might go hungry, began a new annotation—[The Book of Narrative], give me some points!!!
Thus, the Holy Covenant Kingdom, having just digested the cheat code, ushered in an epic period of development.

[Protection Period 61-100: The Covenant Kingdom enters the Star Empire phase.]

The Covenant Nation has completed the development of three colony systems, establishing resource satellite mining chains, interstellar farms, orbital industrial cities, and deep-space air ports. World 777 has transformed from a single-homeworld civilization into a multi-star system nation.

The Covenant Star Academy has completed the construction of a destroyer-class hull, plasma propulsion array, improved energy shield, interstellar army delivery pod, galactic-class communication backbone, and primary planetary terraforming.

[Luo Jia promoted the "Covenant of the Stars," integrating the 777 world's homeland, orbital cities, colonies, resource satellites, and outer outposts into a unified monarchical system. The Holy Word Province accompanied the colonies to each new world, responsible for population registration, cultural integration, and religious stability.]

[New technologies unlocked: destroyer hull, plasma propulsion, improved shields, interstellar army deployment, prototype planetary terraforming, deep-sea air base, and automated interstellar resource management.]

[New municipalities unlocked: Covenant Codex, Interstellar Colony Bureau, Governor's Sector System, Covenant Fleet Headquarters, Colony Loyalty System.]

[New military units unlocked: Covenant Destroyer, Star Marine Corps, Orbital Bombardment Platform, Deep Space Escort Squadron, Starport Mobile Artillery Group.]

[Civilization Stage Advancement: Faster-than-Light Expansion → Interstellar Empire]

He squeezed the protection period of one hundred rounds completely dry.

Luo Jia not only completed the Star Sea Voyage, but also advanced all the way to the interstellar empire stage. The 777 World was also transformed from a unified home planet civilization into a regional interstellar nation with colony star systems, fleet headquarters, governor star sector system and deep air force port.

In this way, Luo Jia is no longer a novice civilization that can be easily crushed on the main battlefield of the Big Bubble World; he now has the qualifications to truly enter the chessboard.

Of course, while promoting the development of the 777 world, Xia Xiu did not forget another matter.

He still needs to find the thirteenth brother.

With the unification of the 777 world and its entry into the Star Sea Civilization System, the [Narrative Book] finally gained a deeper level of observational authority. Xia Xiu's great spiritual tendrils stretched out along the outer battlefield passage to the Five Hundred Worlds, touching the edge of that most turbulent main battlefield.

On the pages, a thick fog was slowly lifted, and in the deepest part of the Five Hundred Worlds, the reaction of the [Black Seal] became increasingly clear.

That fluctuation landed alone in a core area torn apart by multiple wars.

The area is surrounded by the polluted star sector of the Vorwyn, the remnants of the Gate Empire, abandoned observation stations yet to be reached by the Eldar, and several powerful civilizations that have already completed interstellar colonization are engaged in a fierce war over that region.

Xia Xiu looked at the coordinates, his fingertip hovering over the [Narrative Book].

"Found you, Thirteenth Brother."

Next, he will begin a two-pronged approach, directly shattering the miniature world.
