Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves
Chapter 642 - 357: The Second Contingency (Part 2)
Time, at such a moment, began to accelerate.
And after about sixty years had passed, Shen Yu and the others indeed discovered some intriguing things.
"Firstly, there is an issue with the birth of Parallel Worlds." Elemental Shen Yu spoke first.
Although others had also discovered the same issue, they gave the opportunity to raise the question to Elemental Shen Yu.
Because, indeed, this was Elemental Shen Yu's domain.
"The birth of Parallel Worlds is actually closely related to the Time Law," Elemental Shen Yu continued, "I once went to the Primordial World for observation. Although the Time Law in the Primordial World hasn't reached the level of forming time elements, it actually exceeds this world's, allowing for the unrestricted birth of so many various Parallel Universes. In other words, in this world without time elements, the Time Law is also a vacuum area of power and control for those Elemental Sovereigns, and moreover, it's a very critical vacuum area."
This was the core background for the investigation conducted by the many Shen Yus over these sixty years.
โโTime Law.
The reason they didn't focus on this vacuum area from the beginning wasn't because the many Shen Yus in the Association didn't notice it, but simply because they didn't have enough confidence to control it.
Although such laws are indeed a power vacuum area for the Elemental Sovereigns, it is also a complex and uncontrollable direction for the Association.
Nevertheless, it was evident that in the past sixty years, the Association had taken a small adventure.
"We used the priority of the Time Law in the Primordial World to conduct a deeper analysis, even control, of the Time Law in this world. We've realized that the Time Law in this world is not the original Time Law, but has been altered, more accurately, has been controlled, which is why it appears so 'weak'."
Yes, this was an important discovery by the other Shen Yus during this period.
Evidently, it is most likely another backup left by Force One.
The laws related to time that are currently displayed are a "castrated" version.
In fact, Shen Yu had thought about it long ago.
After all, from their understanding of this world, this world at the Extraordinary Level should be stronger than the Primordial World.
The Primordial World only gave birth to one Ancestor Hongjun.
But in this world, every law has a corresponding Elemental Sovereign, all at the same level as Ancestor Hongjun's "Dao Integrator."
Such a powerful world, which is also a world where Parallel Universes are born, yet it has such a significant gap in the Time Law?
In short, after confirming that the Time Law is another backup left by Force One, the Association gathered together ready to further employ the Gray Mist.
Moreover, this time, they planned to hit it all at once!
"I've already verified it, by reaching this point, the Gray Mist needed to directly uncover all the backups left by Force One is almost similar." Shen Yu said.
Then, with everyone unanimously agreeing, they directly activated the Gray Mist.
This was indeed a considerable consumption of Gray Mist.
However, if they could truly take down this Elemental World in one fell swoop, even capture all the "wealth," especially the technology, left behind by Force One, it would be a huge gain.
This round of information was quite vast.
As the information emerged, all Shen Yus finally understood what was going on.
Back then, Force One was indeed facing a difficult-to-resist attack, forcing them to temporarily abandon all their power and hide themselves.
But, they still tried every means to leave behind various backups.
Even now what has been discovered is only the last two.
Some of the other backups were found and destroyed by the enemy back then, or vanished over time.
Among these two backups, one is indeed as previously speculated, being the core controller holding the "Elemental Divine Artifact Key," hidden in countless Parallel Universes, continuously reincarnating.
Waiting to be awakened under necessary conditions.
And the awakening conditions are only two.
The first, the key to the Elemental Divine Artifact, has been tampered with.
This condition indeed startled many of the Shen Yus.
It was only later that they realized their monitoring hadn't actually reached this standard, after all, it was just a simple probe that hadn't truly attempted to crack the key.
They directly acquired the key through the Gray Mist.
The second condition is the Time Law appearing "out of control," with risks of liberation.
Meeting these two conditions, the soul that has reincarnated for hundreds of millions of years will awaken and immediately regain its power to continue dominating the entire Elemental World, reshaping the First Cycle World.
Besides that, there is a second backup.
Which is the Time Law.
There is also a control device with a key in the Time Law, but this time the key controller didn't stay in this world but left and settled down, growing in a nearby world with memory. ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ต.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
That world replicated the complete Time Law of this world!
And only the Time Law.
In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, they severed all connections that might influence the All Heavens, completely hiding themselves.
The only way to find them also lies with the inheritor in this world.
"No wonder our initial action ended in failure." Shen Yu understood upon seeing this.
It's likely that when they took action, they triggered the awakening of the inheritor, but upon awakening, realizing the impossibility, immediately contacted forces hidden in other worlds, ultimately delivering a heavy blow to the Association through their control over the Time Law.
In such a situation, even Shen Yu didn't have a good way.
Unless using the Gray Mist recklessly.
However, all answers related to prediction given by the Gray Mist actually exclude the impact of the Gray Mist itself.
Otherwise, nothing would be certain.
In short, now that the information has become this clear, the rest seems quite simple.
"Before we act, we have to eliminate all those backups." Shen Yu looked at the other Shen Yus, "In other words, we need to find the world with the so-called Time Law."
"Sounds just like a 'Restoration Faction'," Martial Artist Shen Yu couldn't help but quip.
Indeed, there was this kind of dรฉjร vu.
Let the most important inheritor of the entire power continuously reincarnate in its own Elemental World.
And not only retaining the supreme authority for it but even leaving a force enough to turn the tide beyond their perspective.
Simply from the arrangement of these backups, one can see the general structure of Force One.
After all, both plans seem overly inclined towards the supposed inheritor remaining in this world.
Even when you can hide outside the world, you still don't put your hope outside the world.
"Even if it's truly a 'Restoration Faction,' if we want to get rid of the 'Little Emperor,' it's best to take care of these fangs first," Wizard Shen Yu didn't mind this quip but seemed a bit impatient and said, "Let's directly use the Gray Mist to get the coordinates of that world, and then take this world in hand sooner."
The other Shen Yus also looked over simultaneously.
Obviously, they were in agreement.
With the information so clear, there's indeed no need to delay any longer; all the risks have been eliminated, and at worst, they can use the Gray Mist again for a final validation of the result.
Shen Yu thought the same.
However, there were still unforeseen events.
