After some time, Wu Ming's will finally awakened.
"What's going on? Didn't I take in the Origin Immortal Seal and transcend to the end of the River of Time? "
Many thoughts flashed through Wu Ming's mind, allowing him to regain his calm.
"Since I still exist … then the result of breaking through to rank nine …"
Suddenly, he discovered the environment he was in.
Nothingness! He was surrounded by nothingness, devoid of even the most basic of primal chaos.
He couldn't even sense the passage of time!
Empty, quiet, lifeless, without life, without beginning, without end.
"This is … the end of the River of Time! I've successfully reached this place, which means … Transcendence! "
With a burst of light in Wu Ming's mind, he was able to clearly see his current state.
He had no physical body, no magic power, and even the Origin Immortal Seal had vanished.
He was currently a massive celestial body at the end of the River of Time, even more dazzling than a star.
"My body has expanded to this level after breaking through to rank nine?"
Wu Ming felt extremely helpless as he scanned his current state.
"It seems that I'll need a very long time to get used to the power of rank nine … mm, and … where is that pursuer?"
He didn't forget that he was being hunted by a Level Nine existence.
Even though he had reached the Transcendence realm, dealing with such an existence was not an easy task.
"Alas … I'm afraid that I can't leave this place right now …"
Wu Ming felt helpless.
Right now, his power was simply too great. Before he could adapt to it, a single thought from him could destroy a small world.
Thus, he could only put aside any thoughts of returning to the Origin World, the Dazhou World, or even the other universes.
Suddenly, a voice rang out. Even though it was very soft, it was like a clap of thunder in this deathly stillness at the end of the River of Time.
"That's right! You can't leave for the time being. Of course, you don't need to worry about that rank nine … Oxtofelis's pursuit … "
A black-robed youth suddenly appeared beside Wu Ming. He didn't seem to be afraid of Wu Ming's ninth level energy seeping out of his body.
It was even to the extent that even though it was like a firefly to the bright moon when compared to Wu Ming, in terms of how terrifying it was, Wu Ming noticed to his shock that its aura was unfathomable, and it even surpassed his own.
"Oxtofelis?!"
Just by thinking about this name, Wu Ming sensed the aura of a vast existence. However, the other party gave him a very weak feeling, even weaker than him, as if it had been seriously injured by some existence.
"That's the true name of the Level Nine from before!"
Wu Ming was certain. At the same time, he became even more vigilant. "Who are you?"
"Me?"
The black-robed youth smiled. "I'm just a bored traveler … I just happened to sense the aura of a descendant here …"
The ancestor of the Infinite Serpent, the ancient evil god!
Even though he had a slight guess, Wu Ming still gathered all his power at this time.
"There's no need to be so nervous!"
The black-robed youth glanced at Wu Ming and shook his head. "That Infinite Ouroboros is my bloodline descendant for god knows how many generations. What kind of feelings can you expect me to have for it? Moreover, you, who have inherited part of its imprint, can also be considered my successor! "
"Not to mention, there's a kind of fate between you and me!"
After the black-robed youth finished speaking, an ancient aura appeared on his body, faintly carrying the coordinates of a world.
"So you're also …"
Wu Ming understood at once.
"Indeed … We're all the same kind of people. We rose up because of an opportunity, and even … we have the same hometown, even though we're on different timelines …"
For existences like them that had transcended time and space, appearing from the past or the future was not something unbelievable.
"Alright, I'm leaving too!"
The black-robed youth slowly turned around. "I'll give you a word of advice … You're a Level Nine, but you're also not Level Nine, because there's one last step — from here, the end of the River of Time, to return to the multidimensional universe!"
"Return?"
"That's right! Coming out and entering the world, coming here is a level of transcendence, and leaving successfully is another level of transcendence. Only when the two come together can one be the true self! "
Light appeared around the youth, directly breaking the boundaries of time and space, and was about to disappear in the next moment. "With your aptitude, you'll definitely be able to reach Level Nine before Oxtofelis recovers. After that, even without me, you won't have to worry about him anymore …"
"Wait!"
This was a rare opportunity. Even though he knew it was dangerous, Wu Ming's desire for transcendence still made him ask, "Is there a new realm after Level Nine? How can I obtain eternity? "
"Eternity?"
The youth's figure completely disappeared, leaving only his words echoing around. "The path of eternity is actually very simple for us Level Nine existences … Continue to exist, and you'll be eternity!"
"Continue … to exist!!!"
Wu Ming murmured, but he felt a great determination and great fear from it.
Level Nine existences were immortal, but in the universe and the River of Time, there were many tribulations. Surviving and existing forever was naturally eternity!
In its simplicity, there was a great truth.
"Is this the path of a Level Ten Eternal?"
Wu Ming's thoughts fluctuated, and he had long made up his mind. "I must reach this realm!"
…
At the end of the River of Time.
There was no concept of time and space here, and it was impossible for any other living beings to exist. Just staying here, a sense of eternal loneliness lingered in Wu Ming's heart.
"As expected … this place is difficult to enter, but it's also difficult to leave!"
Wu Ming's temperament was indestructible, and he naturally would not be tormented by this bit of loneliness. It was just that after countless attempts, he could only helplessly admit that he was still a little bit away from leaving the end of the River of Time.
"Confidence in my own strength?"
After many attempts, he already had a guess.
If he could completely absorb the enormous power of a Level Nine and take human form, perhaps he would be able to meet the requirements to leave.
But to achieve this, who knew how much effort it would take.
Fortunately, Wu Ming was currently immortal, and the biggest hidden danger had been temporarily eliminated by the mysterious black-robed youth, so he had time to slowly try.
…
Time passed quickly. The time in Wu Ming's location did not change, but it was unknown how much time had passed in the outside world.
In the universe of many dimensions, a strange universe was blooming with brilliance, not the slightest bit inferior to the Origin World.
However, the path this universe took was not the path of extraordinary power, but technology and intelligence.
After nine scientific and technological revolutions, the rulers of this universe, the Clive Alliance, had conquered their star system and a large number of colonies in the surrounding galaxies. They had begun to march toward more advanced space wormhole jumps and second-dimensional time experiments.
In the quiet universe, a huge, gigantic space station floated quietly.
Inside the space station was a continent-like land. Millions of Clive people lived, worked, and even spent their entire lives in this space station.
Thanks to the breakthroughs in cloning technology, consciousness transfer technology, and even gene division, the average lifespan of the Clive people exceeded 10,000 years. Even among the higher-ups, longevity was not a top secret.
"Beep! Dear Fia, it's time to get up! "
In a research institute on the space station, accompanied by a mechanical voice, an AI butler knocked on the door politely.
"Oh … I got it!"
Fia, who was lying on the bed, got up and stretched elegantly while yawning. "Yesterday's black hole annihilation experiment observation was too late … Butler, what are we having for breakfast today?"
As a standard Clive beauty, Feia was nearly three meters tall. Her appearance wasn't much different from a human's, but her ears were slightly pointy, and there were strange patterns on her forehead. She had three pupils in her eyes.
"For breakfast today, I have prepared the A1 series of energy bars for you, divided into three flavors: Abson fruit, Zerg barbecue, and lava egg yolk …"
The robot butler said in a meticulous voice.
"That's enough …" Fia covered her forehead.
"Our alliance has conquered one galaxy after another, even obtaining the mystery of eternal life. We are peeking at the boundaries of time and space. In ancient times, every one of us would be a god! But now, as the top research institute and observation station of the alliance, I can only eat energy bars? "
"I'm sorry! Master! "
The butler shrugged his shoulders in a very humane manner. "If you are not satisfied with this, I can send a report to the Material Reserve Base and have them change to a different series of energy bars …"
"Forget it!"
Fia looked helpless. After hurriedly washing up, she put on a white coat and nibbled on an energy bar in the living room while reading the news pushed by the smart optical computer.
"Supernova news. The Alliance Academy of Science announced yesterday that the latest quantum optical computer 'Lord' has been successfully developed. All data is normal!"
"Battlefield news. The Alliance Army has broken through the last planet of the Zerg and captured the Queen. The Bank Galaxy has been completely incorporated into the Alliance's territory!"
"Comet Space Station news. The latest results of the black hole annihilation and wormhole observation …"
…
"It's actually on the news!"
Fia's lips curled into a trace of worry. "Although I understand their eagerness to succeed in their research, get commendation, and return to live on the planet, that wormhole isn't the same as before …"
With a worried heart, she arrived at the research institute.
"Fia, you're finally here!"
A white-bearded old man with bloodshot eyes said with an unusually excited voice. "Look … that wormhole! Heavens, I've studied many space-time passages and wormholes, but none gave me such an excited feeling. This is simply a treasure given to us by the gods! If the research is successful, we will definitely be able to completely grasp the mysteries of time and space! "
