Chapter 1395: Relief and Luck

[Audience Expectation +5]

[Current Expectation: 37%]

The particle sword descending from the sky, the terrifying aura tearing everything apart—within a few seconds, the harmonious and quiet atmosphere was torn into pieces. And when they saw the appearance of the person wielding the sword, almost everyone sitting there was shocked.

"Ji Xuan？！!"

"Me?！！!"

Everyone's gaze kept shifting between Ji Xuan and the Sovereign of Suspended Jade, while Ji Xuan stared blankly at the other version of himself, the shock in his eyes gradually turning into excitement!!

There's no mistake, this is himself after using the Higgs boson to open a wormhole and travel through time!

His hypothesis was correct... if other people's research directions could be transformed into abilities, then his Higgs boson, logically speaking, should be able to have such an effect!

He really could obtain this power in the future!!

While everyone was shocked and confused by the appearance of the Sovereign of Suspended Jade, Chen Ling's expression changed. He looked along the sword of the Sovereign of Suspended Jade at Lou Yu, who was wearing the black raincoat, his brain racing...

Is the one in front of him really the Sovereign of Infinity himself, and not Lou Yu from this era?

Has he been playing the role of "Lou Yu"? But why... hasn't he always wanted to kill Wu Tongyuan and the others? If the one in front of him is really the Sovereign of Infinity, he had so many opportunities, so why didn't he take action against Wu Tongyuan?

No... if he wanted to, he could have killed Ji Xuan along with him just now. After all, the Sovereign of Suspended Jade had been pestering him. Wouldn't it be better to kill the past version of himself and erase the future version of himself?

No...

The Sovereign of Suspended Jade said that the Sovereign of Infinity killed himself from this era?

Then why didn't the Sovereign of Infinity himself disappear? Wouldn't this create a paradox??

Chen Ling's thoughts were in chaos. He found that he was becoming less and less able to see the current situation clearly... And at this moment, the duration of this era archive was also about to end.

【00:00:15】

【00:00:14】

【00:00:13】……

The tent was split, and the wind and rain from the mountains poured into the camp. The Sovereign of Infinity's black raincoat fluttered, but even though he was pressed against the back by the Sovereign of Suspended Jade's sword, his gaze was calm.

He gently took off the heavy glasses on the bridge of his nose. In front of his eyes, the same countdown was continuing.

【00:00:12】

【00:00:11】……

"That's right... I killed my once-cowardly self." He spoke slowly. "For him, this is relief; for humanity, it is luck."

The Sovereign of Suspended Jade didn't expect him to admit it just like that, but he didn't understand the Sovereign of Infinity's thoughts at all, nor did he understand the so-called "relief" and "luck." After a brief moment of daze, he spoke again:

"What conspiracy do you have now?!"

【00:00:08】

【00:00:07】……

"I have no conspiracy."

"No conspiracy? Don't forget, you were just planning to kill Wu Tongyuan!"

"Ji Xuan, people change." The black raincoat turned gently, those calm eyes watching the Sovereign of Suspended Jade. "For you, that was just 'just now'... but for me, that was a quite long period of time..."

The Sovereign of Suspended Jade saw the exhaustion and loneliness in his eyes and was slightly startled.

【00:00:05】

【00:00:04】……

The countdown for the era archive was about to hit zero.

The Sovereign of Infinity finally turned his head to look at Chen Ling, a complex look appearing in his gaze:

"Humanity does not need the Sovereign of Infinity, and the Sovereign of Infinity should not have appeared..."

"Chen Ling..."

"From here on, it's up to you."

【00:00:01】

【00:00:00】

Just as Chen Ling was about to say something, several lines of characters jumped out in front of his eyes!

[Archive No. 129439 time limit reached]

[Reading interrupted]

Chen Ling's consciousness sank rapidly.

……

In the dark and lonely palace,

A figure in a bright red opera robe woke up suddenly from the throne!

He looked down at the era archive in his hand, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses...

"Damn it... it always gets stuck at times like this." Chen Ling said, a bit annoyed.

Chen Ling hadn't expected that Lou Yu was the Sovereign of Infinity, nor had he expected that the Sovereign of Suspended Jade would descend from the sky at the last moment... But what truly confused him was the last part of what the Sovereign of Infinity said.

Humanity doesn't need the Sovereign of Infinity?

Chen Ling suddenly realized a problem: regardless of when the user uses the archive, the initial time for entering the era archive is the same... And the Sovereign of Infinity should have obtained [Morality] after the destruction of the Infinity Domain.

Therefore, the Sovereign of Infinity he saw in the era archive came from at least several months in the future.

Perhaps this had something to do with the changes in the Sovereign of Infinity?

At that time, had the Red Star already hit the Earth? Did human civilization still exist?

Or... was everything really as the Sovereign of Infinity envisioned, that he had truly created a super domain capable of accommodating all of humanity?

Chen Ling paced back and forth in the vast palace, but no matter how he racked his brains, it was all just empty thinking... If he wanted to find the Sovereign of Infinity and ask clearly, he would have to wait until the next time he entered the era archive. And right now, there were only a few days left until the return of the Red Star.

"Forget it, I've done everything I could. From here on, it's up to them..."

"Someone! Bring wine!!"

As small centipedes brought up the Five-Poison Wine, the figure in the bright red opera robe took it casually and drank it down in one gulp.

During his time in the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery, Chen Ling either patrolled the territory, explored rooms, or drank and went crazy. The days were incredibly dull... But what was more torturous than boredom was loneliness, and other than drinking, he really had no way to alleviate it.

Chen Ling, as usual, got dead drunk, sang a "drunk opera" alone in the palace while swaying, and then collapsed onto the cold floor.

The small centipedes on the side wanted to help Chen Ling back to his room to sleep, but they didn't dare, so they could only wait obediently on the side.

Time passed...

Chen Ling lay there for another day and night.

In the end, it wasn't until Wu Yi, who had been ordered to dig and change the terrain outside the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery, returned that he carried Chen Ling on his back and sent him back to the soft bed.

Seeing Chen Ling's state, Wu Yi shook his head helplessly. It had followed Chen Ling since the Fusion Faction and knew the state of its Great King outside the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery was completely different from the decadent self-abandonment inside the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery, but it couldn't do anything about it...

It couldn't very well say to the Great King, "If you're really bored, let's go visit the human domain, shall we?"

Wu Yi was about to leave when it suddenly sensed something and turned its head sharply toward the direction of the Great King's room...

A world-destroying aura surged in the air. A storm of thoughts emerged from the void, directly wrapping around its sleeping Great King, dragging his consciousness away from his body and rolling it toward some unknown direction!

Wu Yi let out a sharp, explosive screech!
