"I don't think I noticed how much Dao power she had."

You fell silent.

With five points of Dao power, it would take more than thirty thousand years to get here from that location. With eight points, it would take only a few dozen days, excluding the time spent being ejected from Shattered Void by the cosmic membrane.

If that purple-skinned woman was too weak—say, with only two or three points of Dao power—it might take her several billion, even tens of billions of years to arrive.

By then, the Light Dust Source Soup would have long since vanished! It would have collapsed into the universe's origin point, perhaps even grown into a cosmic embryo.

There was no way you could stay here and wait for her for that long!

"Maybe she was only saying it. Maybe she never intended to repay the favor, or perhaps she doesn't believe in the mark on her hand at all," you thought.

One hundred years remained on the countdown.

Compared to the Light Dust Source Soup at its maximum size tens of millions of years ago, its diameter had now shrunk by seven-tenths.

Its collapse was accelerating. In its final hundred years, its remaining diameter of thirty million trillion trillion light-years would shrink down to the origin point.

At present, excluding those additionally born over the years, ninety-nine percent of all living beings in the universe had yet to evacuate, despite the birth-restriction policy having been implemented millions of years ago.

They had all been concentrated together within a range of one hundred trillion to one quadrillion light-years beyond the universe's center, packed to the brim. It could only be called cramped living.

Beyond one quadrillion light-years from the universe's center, there was nothing but utter desolation!

All living creatures had been moved
