As Gao Gong's strength continued to improve, more and more of the system's secrets were unlocked.
In his previous life, he had basically never interacted with the other players, stubbornly turning an online game into a single-player game.
This life was different. With over a hundred million players under his command, his interactions with them made the anomalies within the system much clearer.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Gong shook his head. He glanced at his "second son," whose ascension fluctuations were no weaker than his own, and asked, "Can you keep it stable?"
Number Zero nodded silently.
"The simulated timeline inside can still be maintained, but you need to hurry."
Gao Gong nodded.
Ascending in two different spacetimes at once—especially spacetimes where time flowed at a ratio of one to one hundred—and controlling the ascension speed so that both remained synchronized was an enormous challenge.
If he mishandled it and the Mechanic civilization completed its ascension first, everything would be over.
Not only would the Nomad civilization's ascension be impossible to preserve, but a fused ascension would be out of the question as well.
If Rich Lady Du had not pointed out the megastructure, Gao Gong would probably have had to take the risk of letting both civilizations ascend in the main universe simultaneously.
But that would introduce a huge, unpredictable factor.
Once that "ascended civilization" attacked the Mechanic civilization, how could he know it would not attack the Nomad civilization too?
