After hearing this account from Professor Confucius's clone, Zhang Zhi had basically determined that the Barren Heaven Continent was very likely an attempt made by the Multiverse itself long ago.
If, in the future, no race ever emerged within the Multiverse that could drive away the mastermind behind the scenes,
and if that mastermind's erosion of the Multiverse reached a certain degree,
then, once the Multiverse realized that the situation had spiraled out of control, the entire Multiverse might become a single whole, just like the Barren Heaven Continent.
Because of the Multiverse's status, an Existence Above the Main God Realm would certainly appear by then.
However, due to the limitations of the Barren Heaven Continent's Cultivation Path, the Multiverse Consciousness definitely would not take this step unless absolutely necessary.
After all, if the entire Multiverse were to turn into a continent resembling the Barren Heaven Continent in the future, then although the continent would contain quite a few Existences Above the Main God Realm because of its status,
its ability to expand outward in the future would be almost nonexistent, since leaving the continent would cause one's strength to decline.
That would be the limit of the entire Multiverse.
Therefore, the Multiverse was still trying to save itself through various means.
No, it would be more accurate to say that the Barren Heaven Continent should also be one of the Multiverse's self-rescue plans.
Moreover, it was a plan with a fairly high chance of success.
For all he knew, the invasion by the Outer Domain Heavenly Demon back then might very well have been orchestrated by the Multiverse Consciousness itself.
Its purpose had actually been to simulate the mastermind's invasion of the Multiverse.
Hmm?
Did that mean the Outer Domain Heavenly Demon was actually a replica of the mastermind?
