"We've crossed over."
Li Qing opened his eyes, curiously observing his surroundings.
At this mont, he seed to be sitting in a Celestial Realm's Divine Hall.
This place had been renovated, becoming even more splendid. Clearly, Sylvie and Sylph remained as ticulous as ever.
Neither Sylph nor Sylvie was around, seeming to be busy with sothing.
Right now, they should also have just crossed over, integrating mories from the future, just like him.
Li Qing first took a brief look at the current history of the cosmos, quickly putting it aside:
"Not much difference; in the past five thousand years of this cosmos, there was also the era of ten suns in the sky, and the Great Flood period."
However, the tiline narrated by Atabia before didn't involve the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors discourse.
The Five Emperors of the current tiline erged here.
"Indeed, the future has changed after all."
Li Qing wasn't too concerned, only feeling sowhat in awe of the terrifying charm of ti.
Incredible possibilities indeed!
Of course, also endless dangers.
The more recklessly ti is used, the easier it is to get oneself killed, with various paradoxes and monsters erging.
And over the long span of five thousand years, those strong figures on the front lines were still cultivating laboriously.
But the secondary strong ones had relaxed a lot, knowing no further path to advance, instead marrying and having children.
Like Wadon, Fat Dragon, Ning Guochang, Professor Wales, and others.
Their quiet little lives went quite well, even forming Holy Land families, pinning hopes on their younger generations.
This era, in the end, has changed in an interesting way.
The restless hearts began to settle down.
Yet Minis was still practicing hard.
Under the grand visions painted by Li Qing and Atabia, he endured the tedious dark age, believing his bloom would eventually co.
Progress was slow, but he learned with all his might!
Li Qing even thought, without spinning the grand vision, Minis might have married and had children like Professor Wales and Fat Dragon.
These years were tough on Minis.
The pressure from all of them was transferred onto Minis.
"But then again, he might enjoy it. That Minis obviously has a brother complex, happily trailing behind his two elder brothers."
After pondering for a while, Li Qing ceased his thoughts.
He began to tally his gains.
Upon seeing them, he felt utterly enveloped in surprise.
Over these five thousand years, apparently, he, the mastermind behind the scenes, wasn't slacking off but seriously working hard, investigating his old secrets.
1. Celestial River of the Celestial Realm.
It had been completely constructed!
How difficult is it to create a celestial phenonon's exclusive Divine Artifact?
Especially the Divine Artifact of the Ancient Material God, the complexity of the Three Thousand Great Path was extrely exaggerated, far beyond the three other primary Divine Artifacts.
The Light Ancient God spent the entire labor force of that era to produce an Ancient Tree, working frantically, causing countless deaths, and was criticized heavily for it.
And the creation of Li Qing's Divine Artifact wouldn't be much simpler than that.
Back then, Li Qing wasn't ready to finish it, planning to slowly grind away at the Milky Way, busy refining his Longevity Technique instead, no ti to spare for that.
But now, it unexpectedly succeeded.
"It must be all these years of secret planning, leveraging the cosmic Great Flood, leading the Five Emperors and beings to help drive and construct the Celestial River."
Dirty!
Utterly dirty!
The degree of human loss rivaled the work required to build the Great Wall.
Li Qing wore a peculiar expression regarding this.
The havoc I wreaked over these five thousand years—no wonder it's .
Evidently, my future self still remains sharp.
The completion of his celestial phenonon Divine Artifact was one side of it; the other was the enormous gain that his internal three-layer Ancient God foundation unexpectedly cultivated to the Fourth Layer Ancient God realm secretly!
Appears my future self behind the scenes, the backup cards were crazily increasing as well.
He felt a majestic power intertwined within, the four forces inside coexisting peacefully, not interfering with one another.
However, from the mories of crossing into this period, it seed the Fourth Layer Ancient God was rely at the initial fusion phase.
The four forces didn't interfere.
Cooperating in pairs within the body, complenting each other, posed another level of new difficulty.
Li Qing saw no issue with this progress; achieving this in five thousand years was quite formidable already.
He constantly organized his thoughts, with the internal results delighting him, practically overnight riches, as his combat power was several hundred tis stronger than five thousand years ago!
Of course, it wasn't on the Energy Level sphere, but in the realm of Authority.
He also finally understood...
why Atabia loved traversing ti so much, loved taking this gamble.
Even knowing the risks, the rewards were imnse. After all, who doesn't want to be a gambler?
Even as steady as Li Qing couldn't help wanting to ti-travel again, to piggyback on his results, elevating the Cosmos's civilization level further once more.
Much less Atabia and others?
They should be organizing their gains excitedly now as well.
"However, there's an unresolved risk over these five thousand years."
"A great hand remains in the past, leaving short one backup card."
"I couldn't previously leverage Atabia's power to bring it over; hence, remained inactive, yet finally perfected the last layer of ti, with support from Fourth Layer Authority, I can finally smuggle that giant hand to five thousand years later on my own."
Li Qing organized his thoughts.
Honestly, Atabia controls the ti axis of this massive spherical cosmos; he essentially couldn't see the endless void beyond the cosmos.
And that hand of Li Qing was far away too, not fearing discovery.
The ti axes of both sides were separate.
Now, having perfected the Fourth Layer Ancient God, Li Qing planned to venture out and solidify that ethereal giant hand, pulling it into the present world.
The backup card should never be lacking!
Bringing it over grants much peace of mind.
"Have to find so ti to go." Li Qing's mood was quite good.
...
...
Atabia and Minis were organizing their gains.
"That figure behind the scenes is alive in this tiline, probably still hidden, deeply concealed."
Atabia said coldly, "This is the first one; there may well be a second in the future, amassing more and more with every crossing."
"With every ti-travel, I might produce a myriad of chaotic other tilines' monsters, lurking in the dark, attempting even to follow my ti-travel, hide behind, and take advantage—dozens, hundreds, tailing... increasingly repulsive."
Yet, Atabia didn't desire to stop.
Everything in the world is balanced, so gains must co with risks.
"How's your situation?" Atabia glanced at Minis.
"Alright, the two 's have rged; talent is elevated." Minis took a deep breath.
Atabia harbored a secret unbeknownst to the others.
Their ti-travel, ant to prevent paradoxes, was a mory-travel, not involving two self-duplicates overlapping.
But Minis was past- overlapping with present-, potentially causing ti paradoxes, bringing unknown costs!
Yet Atabia opted for it.
He wanted Minis to walk his accidentally paradoxical path of yore, fusing countless tiline "selves," barely possibly elevating from diocre-to absolute mastery.
"If once isn't enough, then ten tis, a hundred tis."
Atabia didn't believe in the route of the Light Ancient God, perceiving it as siding with a tiger. To Atabia, the most stable, fundantally assured route was Minis's because he was absolutely trustworthy.
As long as he continued, ti-travel overlaps ti after ti, Minis will eventually beco the universe's real Renaissance Man.
Minis was once on a quest through eras for reviving himself; now was his ti to repay, completing a cycle of cause and effect.
