Zhao Jin leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.
“If the birth rate can't keep up with the death rate, maybe I can consider something already available,” Zhao Jin thought, his mind drifting to parallel universe theory and aliens.
Ultimately, he chose parallel universes—whether from his previous world or this one.
Theories about parallel universes were countless. In the beginning, there was only one Planet Aquamarine, but with every choice made by the beings within it, a new universe would split off.
These split-off universes would then continue to split, leading to new universes branching out almost every second.
This made the number of parallel universes nearly infinite, yet not truly infinite, even though the rate of their creation was terrifyingly fast.
In this near-infinite web of universes, the development of Planet Aquamarine varied wildly. In some worlds, technology had advanced enough to colonize across galaxies, while others were still stuck in ancient times.
There were even worlds where no life existed on Planet Aquamarine, or where humans did not exist at all, and the emergence of magic or cultivation was entirely possible.
Of course, these were all just scientific hypotheses.
Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly. Since they are hypotheses, then let me test if these parallel universes truly exist.
He glanced at his Destiny Force.
Destiny Force: 36.77 million wisps of Destiny Force!
The chaos in the Coalition and the specters massacring cities were providing him with a massive amount of Destiny Force. In just a few days, it had increased by several million.
With a thought, he began to chant in his mind, “I want the ability to observe, filter, and travel through parallel universes, with an upper limit set at six million wisps of Destiny Force!”
This amount was already close to the Destiny Force of an Earth Mother. To continue harvesting more, he was willing to make a heavy investment.
The Destiny Force within his consciousness blurred. A second later...
His Destiny Force decreased by 4.7 million. At the same time, a message appeared in front of Zhao Jin.
“Parallel Observer: Observe universes existing in other dimensions. You can choose which parallel universe to observe with your mind. If your observation time exceeds one minute, you can travel to it. A mark will be left in any universe you have visited! (Uniqueness of Destiny: The universe you exist in will no longer split, because Destiny is unique!)”
Looking at this ability, the corners of Zhao Jin's mouth curled upward. It only cost 4.7 million? Totally worth it!
As long as parallel universes existed, Zhao Jin had plenty of ways to squeeze them dry.
With that thought, Zhao Jin willed, “Filter parallel universes. Select Planet Aquamarine with human existence and supernatural power!”
Only a supernatural world could provide him with more Destiny Force; ordinary humans yielded far too little.
Buzz!
In the next instant, Zhao Jin felt the world around him tremble.
But he quickly realized that it wasn't the world shaking, but a special power forcing his consciousness to break through the current dimension.
Whoosh!
Zhao Jin's vision blurred, and he found himself in a somewhat dark environment.
In front of him, a silver-white branch stretched forward. From both sides of this branch, new branches sprouted, each bearing a dark sphere filled with dense, glittering starlight.
And that wasn't all. From the top of each dark sphere, another silver branch emerged, bearing new dark spheres on its sides.
This nesting-doll-like splitting and multiplication of spheres stretched out as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.
These silver branches and the starlight within the spheres emitted a faint glow, partially illuminating the surrounding space.
Upon seeing these things, a realization naturally dawned on him: these were the parallel universes.
He couldn't help but feel a wave of shock. Are these the parallel universes? There must be more of them than there are stars in the cosmos!
Since becoming Destiny, very few things could shock him anymore.
Sensing something, he turned around to look behind him.
Behind the vast, interconnected web of parallel universes stood a single, solitary black sphere with a faint starlight glow.
This universe did not split; it simply existed there alone.
This was his universe. Because of his existence, this universe would never split again.
He turned back. The parallel universes displayed before him were all the filtered results of his search.
Every single one of these universes contained humans and supernatural elements.
Zhao Jin observed them closely for a moment before stepping up to a nearby parallel universe.
He placed his hand on it, and a prompt immediately appeared before him.
【Please input the target location to observe. Simply think of the related terms to automatically lock onto it!】
Looking at the prompt, Zhao Jin thought, “Planet Aquamarine, humans!”
A beam of white light projected from the universe in front of him, forming a panel before his eyes.
A grand galaxy appeared on the panel. The view then accelerated through the galaxy for a second, and a blue planet appeared on the screen.
The planet was rotating rapidly. It did not have the two continents and five major islands of Zhao Jin's Planet Aquamarine.
Instead, there were three continents and a dense scattering of islands. Even the number of craters on the moon rotating beside it was different.
Zhao Jin was not surprised by this. The splitting of parallel universes did not only occur when living beings made choices.
For example, when a supercontinent split, some universes would end up with two continents, some with three, and others with four. In this manner, entirely new universes were formed.
Zhao Jin zoomed in on the image before him and randomly selected one of the continents.
Modern cities appeared on the screen. As he zoomed in further, he even saw a passenger plane flying past.
A modern world? At first glance, its technological level doesn't seem much different from my own world, Zhao Jin mused as the image locked onto one of the largest cities on the continent.
Suddenly, a figure flew across the screen.
Zhao Jin quickly locked onto the figure.
On the screen appeared a majestic middle-aged man wearing a black casual short-sleeved shirt, his powerful muscles bulging against the fabric.
A translucent gas enveloped him, allowing him to fly rapidly high up in the sky.
After glancing at the middle-aged man, Zhao Jin shifted his focus, and the screen continued to scan other areas.
The images flashed rapidly before him, averaging dozens of scenes per second.
Among them, the terms that appeared most frequently were "martial arts" and "martial artists."
Whoosh!
The screen vanished. Zhao Jin's expression remained calm. Martial artists? With their abundant vitality and blood, they really are the perfect food for the specters.
This was a world where martial arts flourished. Everyone could practice martial arts, and those with exceptional talent could even soar through the heavens and tunnel through the earth.
With a thought from Zhao Jin, the white light from the universe he touched flared up again. This time, it was even brighter than before, completely enveloping his body.
In the next second, the white light vanished, and Zhao Jin disappeared along with it.
As soon as Zhao Jin entered this universe, the silver branch connecting it to the main trunk snapped. It ceased to split.
Thousands of meters above Mengshan City, the middle-aged man in black casual clothes scanned the city below.
An expression of absolute supremacy washed over his face. “Sigh, is loneliness the price one must pay for reaching the peak of martial arts?”
He had already reached the very end of the martial path. Only a handful of people in the entire world could match him. His physical body and martial techniques had hit a bottleneck, leaving him with no room for further progress.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from above his head.
The middle-aged man instinctively looked up. When he did, his expression froze, and his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
Endless golden light had manifested out of thin air ten thousand meters in the sky.
The golden light covered a radius of hundreds of kilometers, completely enveloping Mengshan City and its population of tens of millions.
Following the golden light, a massive, planet-spanning perception swept across the world.
In the city below, office workers, martial artists, and government officials all raised their heads, staring at the scene in shock.
Inside the largest martial arts hall in Mengshan City.
A two-meter-tall youth watched the spectacle, his face twitching. “What on earth is that? Even the Ultimate Realm of Martial Arts isn't this exaggerated!”
In the sky, Zhou Liutai, clad in black casual clothes, stared at the scene, his fists clenched tightly and his breathing turning rapid.
Within the golden light, he saw a person. Yes, a human.
Right in the center of the golden glow, a young man wearing a suit and a top hat materialized.
Zhao Jin looked down at Zhou Liutai. The Destiny Force above the man's head barely exceeded one million.
Under his Heavenly Domain, this world was like a person stripped naked. All the crucial information of this world flooded into his mind.
There is a special energy in the air that wasn't present on the previous Planet Aquamarine. It's different from the energy I created. Long-term absorption of it has a massive enhancing effect on flesh and blood.
Beside him, the notebook appeared, automatically recording the information. At the same time, information regarding martial arts was also being logged.
The moment Zhao Jin's gaze locked onto Zhou Liutai, the man's feeling of absolute supremacy vanished in an instant, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After arriving in this universe, Zhao Jin had instinctively released his aura.
He now possessed tens of millions of wisps of Destiny Force, and as Destiny itself, he was empowered by multiple abilities that each cost over a million wisps!
Thoughts raced through Zhou Liutai's mind. What kind of existence is this guy? What terrifying pressure! Damn it, he hasn't even made a move, so why is my heart filled with such dread?!
Suddenly, Zhao Jin and the golden light in the sky vanished. Zhou Liutai felt the invisible, crushing pressure lift.
“Pant, pant, pant... That monster finally left. Who on earth is he? None of the people I know in the Ultimate Realm of Martial Arts are like this.” Zhou Liutai gasped for breath, his back completely drenched in sweat without him even realizing it.
He recalled the youthful face he had faintly glimpsed in the golden light, along with that lofty gaze that looked down on him—an expert of the Ultimate Realm of Martial Arts—like trash, which would be etched in his memory for the rest of his life.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The cold wind howled around him. Zhou Liutai continuously released his inner Qi to keep himself aloft, unable to snap out of his daze for a long time.
Only after several minutes had passed did the figure of an elderly man wearing a white martial arts robe appear in the distant sky.
He looked at Zhou Liutai with a solemn expression. “Zhou Dakua, what on earth was that golden light? Even this old man could see it from over a thousand kilometers away.”
As he spoke, he drew closer to Zhou Liutai. When he got within a thousand meters of him...
He halted, frowning as he observed Zhou Liutai, whose face was pale, forehead covered in sweat, and hands trembling slightly.
Something is wrong. He looks like he's been frightened out of his wits. But who could possibly terrify Zhou Liutai, a man at the absolute pinnacle of the world and in the Ultimate Realm of Martial Arts, to this extent? And there are no signs of battle. Recalling the terrifying golden light from earlier, a solemn expression settled on the old man's wrinkled face.
