The Thunder Giant self-destructed.

Blue Star returned to its former peace.

Clear skies stretched endlessly, and the heavens showed not a hint of anomaly, as if nothing had happened at all.

Countless people stared blankly at the sky. Had they not just witnessed a grand battle, they might indeed think today was peaceful.

"He actually killed himself?! How could that be? Was he afraid?"

"Definitely, that was an unparalleled Great Emperor. If it were me, I'd be scared too. But judging by the situation, it seems a bit off."

"Don't you think all of this is too strange? There's no way Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable would be unaware if someone were up there. If someone was really in the sky, he would have caught them by now. So everything is unusual!"

"Based on my ten-plus years of reading fantasy novels, this situation is absolutely not simple. Besides us, there might be others outside this world. There could be parallel worlds that just haven't been discovered yet."

"Yes, I've seen such plotlines too. The manifestation of games seems odd to me, and now with the Thunder Giant, it's even more peculiar. I'm growing increasingly fearful."

The game manifestation was originally a very strange puzzle without any answers.

Now with the appearance of a Thunder Giant hiding in the thunderclouds, it unmistakably seems wrong.

Many have speculated that besides Blue Star, there might be other planets, or even other worlds, like perhaps a Multiverse or parallel worlds.

Various conjectures quickly stirred unease.

...

Chen Lan didn't pay much attention. If trouble arises, he'll face it head on. If the opponent truly arrives, he will fight again.

He returned to the cave, intending to employ time reversal to see if he could somehow save the Blood Demon Ancestor.

After all, the Blood Demon Ancestor was effectively killed by him, and currently, he holds no ill intentions toward Huaxia.

He's just a pitiful soul seeking escape from the cycle of death and reincarnation.

When he used time reversal, his brows furrowed.

After a long moment, he lowered his hand, no longer using time reversal, with brows tightly knitted.

"In the River of Time, there's already no trace of the Blood Demon Ancestor!"

Within the River of Time, he found the Blood Demon Ancestor was already gone, seemingly erased by a mighty hand, leaving no remnants.

Perhaps his mastery of the time path was too shallow, unable to revive the Blood Demon Ancestor.

After all, to this day, he hadn't even grasped the basics of the time path, merely capable of simple time reversal and time domain.

Moreover, frequently utilizing the time path consumes considerable energy, reducing one's lifespan significantly.

Once exceeding a certain limit, even as an unparalleled Great Emperor, he wouldn't have enough lifespan to spare.

Right now, rewinding a few hours posed no harm.

"Ah." Chen Lan sighed. The opponent's proficiency in the time path was too formidable; he couldn't save the Blood Demon Ancestor.

The Thunder Giant self-destructed again, resetting everything to the beginning, leaving many mysteries unsolved.

Currently, the most crucial thing is to find the person who wrote that book and the Prophet in Pharaoh's memory.

Evidently, the Prophet knew Blue Star's current situation centuries ago, prompting Pharaoh to hibernate.

Since he knows, he might make certain changes, perhaps even living to this era. This possibility can't be ruled out.

Although unable to extract much from the Blood Demon Ancestor, he at least learned that the previous world was called Profound Dust Realm, not Huaxia or Blue Star.

In their world, spiritual qi was abundant, filled with cultivators. However, due to a world cycle, drastic changes transpired.

Cultivators ceased to exist, transforming into the technological Blue Star until the game manifestation revived spiritual qi, allowing them to gradually recover.

So, is the game manifestation good, or bad?

It feels like the game manifestation is key to the puzzle!

"Forget it, let nature take its course." Chen Lan shook his head, dwelling no further.

Thinking more now wouldn't help; there are no leads. Since the game manifestation is the key point.

Just gradually wait for everything to manifest. Eventually, the truth will be revealed.

...

The world returned to its course, people resumed normal lives.

However, Li Long didn't see it that way.

Maintenance Department headquarters, meeting hall.

"I suppose everyone saw the recent Thunder Giant. It is an Immortal Emperor level existence that came from elsewhere, implying there might be other planets besides us, potentially housing Immortal Emperors or even Celestial Emperors, possibly even an unparalleled Great Emperor!"

Li Long scanned the other ministers, speaking in a solemn, serious tone.

His words left the others silent.

Today's Thunder Giant was witnessed by them too, evoking similar thoughts.

But wasn't such an idea slightly absurd?

Then thinking further, with the game manifestation, what isn't absurd now?

"We must quickly enhance our power. My suggestion is to wait for the sect manifestation; everyone must learn cultivation techniques and promptly advance their strength. Currently, the timeline for technique manifestation isn't clear, we're relying on the sects."

The game hasn't fully manifested yet; it's unclear when another world might attack. We'll just have to wait for the sect manifestation in three days and see if techniques can be acquired for cultivation.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

They had already begun planning to collaborate with those sects after the manifestation.

...

Dormitory.

As Chen Lan returned to the dormitory, Luo Tao immediately approached him, scrutinizing up and down, then patted his chest, breathing a sigh of relief: "Luckily, you're fine."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"After such a huge event, you seem like you don't know anything. I actually worried something happened to you, thinking you've been gone so long." Luo Tao frowned.

He returned using Sword Flight and upon arriving at the dormitory was repressed, despite his concern for Chen Lan being possibly in trouble.

Yet here Chen Lan was, acting as if nothing happened, even asking him what was wrong.

"Oh, oh, I'm just fine."

"Of course, that's great news. If Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable didn't intervene, we might be meeting in the Underworld by now." Luo Tao rolled his eyes.

"Yes, indeed."

"You didn't see it, Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable was incredibly impressive. That flair, perfect scores from me – he spoke a word and the opponent committed suicide."

"Yes, exceptionally stylish."

"Do you think I'll ever have such a day, just speak a word and the opponent perishes?"

"Soon enough, I believe you may very well have a 'curse mouth' – whom you curse, they die."

"Go, go, get lost. I need to focus on cultivation; something feels off about the future."

With that, Luo Tao returned to his bed and began sitting cross-legged in cultivation.

Chen Lan chuckled, then departed Blue Star for the Moon's surface.

Two days remain until the sect manifestation; he'd use this time to see if other paths could be cultivated to an introductory level.

...

Kunlun Mountain.

A mountain peak located near Huaxia's border.

Within its midsection was a cave equipped with many furnishings, fully accommodated for habitation.

On a table lay a book titled:

"The Five Thousand Year History of Huaxia"

Outside the cave, an elderly man lay on a rocking chair, emitting creaking sounds, holding a palm fan, gently fanning himself, at ease and leisurely.

"A new cycle is coming again, but this time, there appears to be an extraordinary young fellow. Hope he doesn't let down my intentions."
