Because Xuanqing's consciousness was completely open to Wang Ping at this moment, the instant his own consciousness came into contact with the countless timelines within Xuanqing's Golden Core Universe, he could see what had happened within them.
Wang Ping instinctively searched for timelines related to himself. Then he saw a vast river of time, containing countless pasts and futures. At his thought, content related to him immediately surfaced within that river.
He saw that across hundreds of thousands of destiny lines, he had only a few chances to begin cultivation. Without a single exception, he had never broken through to the Second Realm; in most other timelines, he had stopped at the Foundation Establishment stage.
