this infinite world

"Karma... can this thing be rinsed?"

Hearing the words coming from Hou Tu's mouth, Yang Yun felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

Bodhisattvas fear causes, while mortals fear consequences. The two words of cause and effect are extremely mysterious. If a high-level saint does not conduct specialized research, he can only know a little bit at most. Even though Chu Xuan has the most powerful causal weapon in the multiverse, the List of Gods, he can only spend causal points to influence cause and effect to a limited extent. If not for this, the Zhongzhou team would not have to fight a bloody battle with Feimian in the Pacific Rim world... As a result, in Hou Tu's mouth, such a mysterious existence as "cause and effect" can be washed casually like dirty clothes?
And for some reason, Yang Yun always felt that the word "rinsing" seemed to have another meaning, as if...

"Yes, it means 'wash your hands clean and come ashore'."

As if seeing through Yang Yun's thoughts, Hou Tu said with a smile: "It's easy to understand, right? Problems that cannot be solved in this multiverse can be solved outside the multiverse... If you 'wash' like this a few times, you can wash away the karma on your brother."

...No, even if you say that, I can't really understand.

Listening to Hou Tu's nonchalant words, Yang Yun silently complained in his heart.

Even though Hou Tu made it sound simple, in Yang Yun's opinion today, it was an impossible task... Just like almost every wizard in the Harry Potter world can cast magic, but using "magic power" to cast "magic" and achieve the desired effect is another matter.

However, it is important for people to know themselves. Knowing one's own strengths has always been one of Yang Yun's strengths.

Since it was too early for him to understand Hou Tu's current level, Yang Yun wisely skipped this topic. He smiled and said, "Although I don't quite understand it, it's nothing more than going abroad to avoid disaster... So, where should I go? Time and space turbulence?"

Judging from the information Yang Yun got from Shennong's Ruler, the space-time turbulence is a good place to go. After all, as one of the four great wastelands in the prehistoric world, it is not only intricate and complicated, but also extremely chaotic in time and space; it can also effectively isolate the tracing of cause and effect, and slowly wear away the cause and effect on oneself...

"Eh? Brother, didn't you hear what I said clearly?"

But what he didn't expect was that Hou Tu looked at Yang Yun with a strange expression: "I just said the 'other' multiverse, the other."

"……what?"

Yang Yun was stunned at first, but when he realized what Hou Tu said, he was speechless... This is not "going abroad to escape disaster" at all, this is simply escaping from the earth!

Thinking of this, Yang Yun subconsciously looked at Lin Xuwen on the other side: "You just mentioned other multiverses? Could it be..."

"What are you thinking? Of course I'm not asking you to go to the multiverse where I came from."

Seeing Yang Yun's gaze looking over, Lin Xuwen immediately said unhappily: "What do you think of my hometown? A person like you who carries a heavy karma must be accompanied by endless troubles... Even if you are willing to come, I am not willing to accept you."

"Uh... the question is, are there other multiverses for me to 'clean up'?"

Seeing Lin Xuwen's denial, Yang Yun also retracted his gaze and asked Hou Tu in front of him in confusion: "Although I don't know much about things outside the multiverse, I know that another multiverse is equivalent to a new continent that has never been discovered before..."

"Because I just discovered that multiverse in the last era, and surprisingly, it is very close to our multiverse."

Hou Tu smiled and said, "To put it simply, brother, when you go to that multiverse, you must not only wash away the karma on your body, but also obtain the fragment of the highest authority of the Lord God that was lost in that plane for some reason..." "...wait wait wait!"

Seeing that Hou Tu was going to continue assigning tasks to him, Yang Yun, who was confused, interrupted and asked, "What about the fragments of the supreme authority of the Lord God lost in other multiverses? Did I miss something before? Why are things that I don't know popping up one after another!"

"Eh? Brother, you don't know?"

But surprisingly, Hou Tu blinked her eyes and showed a puzzled expression: "Didn't I tell you before?"

"…Did you say that?"

For a moment, the two stared at each other. After a few seconds, Hou Tu stuck out her tongue and said in a cute way, "... Sorry, I forgot."

"Don't try to get away with it by being cute!"

Seeing that Hou Tu was trying to get away with her poor acting skills, Yang Yun subconsciously complained. This time, his words were less distant and more intimate. He even moved his right hand slightly, as if he was going to chop Hou Tu's forehead with a knife like in the animation...

Looking at Yang Yun's actions, Hou Tu's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of nostalgia. But this feeling was only fleeting, and the next moment, she smiled again and said, "But, brother, you didn't ask?"

"So it's not the soil's fault, right?"

Seeing Hou Tu blinking her big eyes, Yang Yun felt a headache... Although it was difficult to understand before why Fuxi used the word "black-bellied" to describe Hou Tu, who was so well-behaved and cute in his memory in "The Beginning of Death", but just looking at the beauty in front of him, Yang Yun understood a little.

"…I'm so tired. Never mind. This is my problem."

Not wanting to continue discussing this meaningless topic, Yang Yun, who felt like he had turned into a complainer, took a deep breath and said, "Please explain it from beginning to end. I really can't keep up with the pace..."

"Hmm...where should I start?"

Seeing that Yang Yun had given up struggling and chose to listen quietly, Hou Tu tapped her lips as if thinking: "Well, let's start from the beginning... Since you talked so much with Yi Qi during the final battle, you should have understood some of the truth about our multiverse, right?"

Yang Yun nodded. He had a feeling that what Hou Tu was going to say next was something very important: "Well, including the wound on the multiverse plane, and the fact that our multiverse is gradually 'dying'."

“That’s just part of the truth.”

Facing Yang Yun's inquiring gaze, Hou Tu spoke a shocking secret word by word: "Based on my investigations over these eras, I can be sure of one thing. That is, our multiverse has been 'abandoned'..."

"Or rather, it was actively 'cut'." (End of this chapter)
