In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 372 Arrival

Countless years later, deep within the universe, deep within a supermassive black hole.

Zhu Wu sat cross-legged within the core, quietly absorbing the chaotic energy to enhance himself while expanding the Dragon Domain Starry Sky.

Time passed quietly, and no one knew how much time had passed. Within the range of divine sense, a dazzling white light formed in the center of the Dragon Domain, then reflected a faint emerald green, and then extended outwards countless emerald green rays like willow branches, spreading outwards at an extremely fast speed.

"Will the formation of a microcosm cause the laws of time to materialize?" Zhu Wu's brows furrowed.

There was no relevant information in his divine inheritance memories.

After a moment's thought, I began to observe quietly.

The lines of time continued to extend, soon reaching a life-bearing planet and extending to the back of the minds of every living being.

Before long, a humanoid phantom emerged from the original body of a living being, and then another phantom split off from it.

"???" Zhu Wu's expression changed, and his gaze immediately turned to Long Ting.

The green line extended, disappearing behind the heads of the beast gods he had left in the Dragon Realm to manage the Dragon Court.

The only ones who were not included were his wives and concubines, Silver Dragon King, Long Ling'er, Zi Ji, Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Huo Wu, Xue Di, Shui Huo Long Wang, Bing Di, Dugu Yan, Xia Zhiyin, Yin E, Nü Ying, and A Yin, who had been nurtured by him to the Supreme God King realm and granted the Supreme God position in the Dragon Domain.

Well, after countless years of space travel, he took in a few more.

It's really because wives can't stand seeing their best friends getting by with their makeup done for years, so they whisper sweet nothings in their ears from time to time.

Having lived for countless years, he and his wives had become less enthusiastic about that kind of thing, and companionship had become the main theme. So the women no longer cared how many women were by his side.

As the old saying goes, even the best marital relationship will turn into that of siblings over time.

Although they are still very much in love and miss each other dearly, their passion for certain things has faded, and they have all become indifferent to worldly desires.

"Sigh," she sighed inwardly, refocusing her attention.

Apart from his wives and concubines, his other children who were granted the power to invoke the laws of the Dragon Realm, as well as the several God-Kings, were not connected.

"The fact that a deity possessing cosmic characteristics is unique in the universe seems to be reflected in this," Zhu Wu thought to himself.

The focus shifted to the gods and beings that were constantly splitting into illusory forms.

"These phantom images must be time branches, right?"

"Over time, who knows if parallel universes will emerge."

"So, this is the biggest reason why the universe keeps expanding? Different beings have different thoughts in their minds, and the timeline will extend into different possibilities, eventually weaving a completely new inner world. The universe is like a big hard drive; the more possibilities it calculates, the more energy it consumes. That's why the speed of the universe's expansion is getting faster and faster as the number of beings increases."

"Therefore, there is a need for a guardian deity to carry out the task of destruction, the purpose of which is to suppress it."

"Therefore, my inner world will expand naturally, just like the external universe, and will continue to consume my energy."

"Damn it!" I suddenly felt like cursing.

Where would he get so much energy to consume? The only way is to devour the outside universe.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately released his divine sense, severing the branches of the timeline and leaving only the main line.

Once a choice is made, it cannot be changed, just as there is no medicine for regret in this world!

Disconnect as soon as possible!

After finishing, continue to absorb chaotic energy to expand the Dragon Domain.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think.

"So, have parallel universes emerged from the branching of the timeline in the outside universe?"

Time passed slowly, and many years later, Zhu Wu absorbed the black hole's core. He opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and his vision had changed drastically. He saw it—he saw a timeline in another dimension of the universe that he had never seen before.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned and rushed towards the center.

Without a doubt, that place is also the center of the universe, the place where the previous Chaos God self-destructed to restart the universe.

Time flies, and before he knew it, he finally arrived.

Within sight, there was only darkness, nothingness, not a single ray of light, and no starry sky in sight.

"This area has been cleared out due to the self-destruction of the Chaos God," Zhu Wu guessed, then used his divine sense to gaze. The timeline appeared in his field of vision; it was a large, luminous green tree with strips of paper as dense as a fine net, spanning the entire void and extending into the unknown.

"The mysteries of the universe are perhaps more profound than I imagined."

He sighed, strode closer, and then raised his hand to touch it.

The white halo spread out instantly, and the finger slid in without hindrance.

Without much hesitation, Zhu Wu strode in, his entire body disappearing into the water.

The next second, a flood of information rushed into his mind, and his consciousness rapidly extended along countless timelines.

"Hiss!" A feeling of dizziness and headache suddenly came over Zhu Wu, and he quickly calmed himself down.

Only then did the consciousness that had extended out on its own return.

"Damn, with so many timelines, how long would it take to sort them all out?" Zhu Wu gritted his teeth.

If ignored, the expansion of the universe will only accelerate.

Logically speaking, some timelines have extended into parallel worlds, and cutting them off would mean annihilating countless beings within them.

In that brief moment, he had a feeling that life itself was nothing more than a piece of data in the universe.

But on an individual level, these beings are real because they are real individuals, and so are the beings in those parallel worlds.

He simply couldn't bring himself to destroy a world, or even a universe, with a single thought.

"How did the previous God of Chaos make his choice?" he couldn't help but wonder. "Was it so that his successor wouldn't be influenced and could make his own choice?"

"It's so difficult!" Zhu Wu said with a wry smile.

"Let's understand how the timeline works first." With a sigh, he stopped thinking about it and looked around.

A sky full of stars is projected beneath your feet, and countless timelines fall and converge overhead, eventually settling at a single point on the ground in front of you.

Zhu Wu strode closer, his hand radiating chaotic power. He reached out and pulled on it; it was very sturdy.

He immediately pulled it open, then turned around and plopped down in the middle of a cone-shaped hammock made up of numerous timelines.

"Headache, headache!" He suddenly realized that sometimes ignorance is actually quite good.

"Let's observe the shortest one first and see what happens." He shook his head, his consciousness fading away.

The Big Bang led to the creation of the universe and the birth of the heavens. The main storyline remained unchanged until other beings began to appear, and countless branches began to emerge.

Zhu Wu immediately chose the thinnest and shortest path, which still connected to the parallel world of Douluo Continent.

Upon reaching the end of the link, it was discovered that the timeline was still during Bibi Dong's teenage years.

At the height of its power, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were not yet in seclusion, but were the two most renowned Douluo in the Douluo Continent, known as the Two Mountains of the Soul Master world.

In this world, Tang Hao is five years older than Bibi Dong, who is 19, making him a 24-year-old young man, and not particularly handsome. Yu Xiaogang is one year younger than Bibi Dong, currently 18. In their line of sight, they are taking advantage of the darkness to row their small boat away from the family.

"Hmm?" Shifting his gaze, he found that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was nowhere to be seen, nor were the Silver Dragon King, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress.

"Could it be that the main timeline has acquired cosmic characteristics because of me, and has already broken free of the timeline?"

"What about Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Huo Wu, who haven't been born yet according to the plot?"

"And what about Tang San? Will he reappear?"

His gaze shifted again, and there was Tang Yuehua, but she looked slightly different from the Tang Yuehua he remembered.

"So, even if there is such a person, it's just another person with the same name?"

"Will Tang San, whose main storyline ends with the Sea God, still be able to travel through time?"

"This part of the story has probably already happened in other timelines. Why don't we use our divine sense to test it ourselves?"

The current timeline has reached its end; the future is unpredictable, and all we can do is wait. As for the other timelines, they represent a different path, another possibility, and are of little value to him. Only by participating and changing can one witness whether change occurs.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his finger and forced out a drop of blood, which he then brought down with his divine sense.

With the timeline in his hands, he can arrive at any time.

But when his true form descended, with his current cultivation level and the small universe within him, he felt that this small parallel world would be instantly burst apart.

Within sight, the blood, powered by the chaotic divine energy, quickly split and multiplied, forming a human form. Male, approximately 18 years old, with features identical to the original body—very handsome!

Although its strength is far less than one ten-thousandth, as it is formed from one's own blood, its compatibility is perfect, and it can be used for divine consciousness to connect and descend.

"Perfect, it will make up for some regrets." He thought of Zhu Gang and his mother who had given birth to him after he was reborn.

Perhaps he will never travel through time again in this world, but he still wants to make up for this regret in his heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately arrived outside Zhu Gang's village.

As for Bai Jin'er, she hadn't been born yet at this time.

After quickly adjusting his appearance, he stepped out from behind the tree and looked ahead at the peaceful village that had not yet suffered any harm.

He strode towards the village entrance.
