Becoming a god had always been a matter of uniqueness. No one had ever heard of two identical gods existing in the world.
Over the long years, Lu Cang had gradually learned that if someone wanted to become a god in a divine position,
that position had to be vacant.
But he had never imagined that if there were multiple different space-times,
becoming a god in another space-time would also affect the divine positions across every timeline.
And by the same logic,
reaching level 9 worked similarly.
The difference, however, was that two level 9s with the same class could theoretically exist at the same time.
"So, because of uniqueness, different space-times influence one another."
"Even if the people involved have no intention of interfering."
He had originally thought that it was because certain powerful beings were strong enough to warp space-time, and that was why more timelines were not allowed to exist.
He had never expected it to be because of uniqueness.
It was simple enough to understand.
If another Aertemi in a different space-time became a god first,
then there would be no Aertemi who became a god in this space-time.
She would simply grow old and die, and she wouldn't be able to take part in the Moon Star contest in May.
The impact on the course of the entire world would surely be immense.
If this situation were allowed to continue, then with billions of timelines, the odds of anyone becoming a god would be so slim as to be negligible.
It was even possible that an entire world wouldn't have a single god.
Although he didn't know what other effects it might cause,
there was no doubt that the conditions for ascension would become unimaginably difficult.
"So you sealed time here?"
"Time outside is still
