The Overlord's Timeline in the Multiverse
"Yes, all of us in the Dark Abyss come from the Lord's timeline, and we eleven main gods were the first to be born and follow the Lord. Everyone else was born through the timelines of our eleven main gods, but you are the only timeline of the First Main God, the Immortal!" The Reviver was deeply moved when he said this, as they had put in a lot of effort to create this timeline.
"As expected, who is this First God Immortal?" Upon hearing that he also came from their so-called timeline, Tianqi frowned slightly.
"The Immortal God was the first to be born in the Lord's timeline, and his power is the closest to the Lord's. Currently, he is the supreme commander and leader of our Dark Abyss..." The Reviver paused here, and then continued.
"Billions of years ago, the Lord sacrificed himself to withstand the end of the Day of the Void's Return, saving us eleven main gods, and leaving behind a way to save us when the next Day of the Void's Return arrives. In order to resist the end of the Day of the Void's Return, the other ten of us have drawn many helpers from our own timelines through countless years. Only the Immortal has never split off from the timeline, and this is exactly in line with the way of salvation left by the Lord!"
"What is the way to save us?" Tianqi asked calmly.
"The Lord left a prophecy that when the next Day of the Void's Return arrives, the twelfth God-Conqueror will rise from our timeline. The twelve Gods will offset the end brought by the Day of the Void's Return, gaining infinite years for survival. We ten have been constantly splitting our timelines, but none of us are powerful enough to appear. It was at this time that we learned the Lord was referring to the timeline of the Immortal, and where the twelve Gods would appear. After a hundred thousand years, we finally drew out the timeline of the Immortal, that one and only timeline. For this purpose, we developed a system and left the power of our myriad worlds within it, to guide this twelfth God-Conqueror!"
Upon hearing this, Tianqi's long-standing confusion was finally resolved, and he exclaimed in shock, "You mean I'm the twelfth main god? You haven't got the wrong person, have you? I used to be just a nobody on Earth!"
"We haven't made a mistake; the Time Force surging within you speaks for itself!"
"What does this prove? This Time Force was all granted by the system; I didn't do anything at all!" Tianqi said speechlessly.
"The system is merely an auxiliary tool. Although it has granted you the Time Force, it is only a small part of it. You may not have realized that the Time Force within you has already reached a very strong level. In fact, this Time Force was originally your power. The Time Force the system granted you was only to draw out the Time Force that was hidden within you!"
"This is my own original power?" Tianqi was also shocked as he looked at his hands.
"Hehe, the Time Force is something unique to us, the masters of the timeline, and it is also our strongest killing move. Controlling time to travel through the past and future, and using time to annihilate heaven and earth and dominate eternity, this is our true power. Your power has begun to awaken. I believe that it won't be long before you surpass my subordinates and advance towards becoming a god!"
"I understand now. So my time travel wasn't an accident after all!" Realizing he had a true goal, Tianqi regained his youthful fighting spirit. He then asked, "Can I go to the Dark Abyss now?"
"It's not the right time yet. Once you reach the required strength, the Immortal will come to greet you personally!" The Reviver shook his head and refused Tianqi.
"Can I see your true face? After all, how can I claim to know you if I don't even know what you look like!" Tianqi looked at the person in front of him with anticipation.
"Of course, this is no secret!" the Reviver said as his black helmet slowly disappeared, revealing a face that looked exactly like Tianqi's.
Looking at the face that was almost identical to his own, Tianqi was slightly taken aback before he smiled.
"I had some doubts before, but now I'm completely convinced!"
"Whether you believe it or not is not important now. As brothers in the same timeline of the Lord, we have always been united and have never had any conflicts because we think almost exactly the same way. I can probably guess what you're thinking about about 90%!" The Reviver smiled slightly, not worried that Tianqi might have any problems.
"Hehe, the connection between hearts, that's interesting. But I still have a question: can I bring someone with me when I go to other worlds this time?"
"Well..." The Reviver hesitated when he heard that Tianqi wanted to take people with him.
"Why not? I won't go if I can't bring my family with me. Even if you force me to go, I won't have the motivation to move towards the God of War!" Seeing the Reviver's dilemma, Tianqi also made his stance clear.
"It's fine to bring inanimate objects, but living people... Tianqi, you may not understand the Dimensional World. People from one dimension cannot go to another. That's the rule. If you force them to go, they will be rejected and completely destroyed by the other world. This..." The Reviver looked at Tianqi with some hesitation.
"Stop talking nonsense. Why can I go if others can't? I can see you're hesitant, which means you still have a way. As the supreme god, I don't believe you can't even do this much!" Seeing the Reviver's hesitation, Tianqi went straight to the point.
If no one can accompany you, what's the point of going forward alone?
"Tianqi, you are different from others. Our existence is special. You can think of it as us having passes to various worlds. We can go to other worlds at will without any rejection, but others can't. For their sake, I hope you can consider this more!" The Reviver was not lying. There are some rules that even they cannot break at will.
"Reviver, do you think I'm stupid? I bet you and your companions are being rejected by this world right now, but I see you're still alive and well!" Tianqi said, pointing to the person in white armor above.
The Reviver shook his head and said calmly, "Our situation is not the same as what you described. We are all from the same major timeline branch. In the end, we all originate from the same person, or you could say we are the same person. The rule of the world is that the same person cannot appear in the same spacetime at the same time. The reason we are unharmed is because we are powerful enough. But even the strongest person cannot stay for too long, otherwise this world will collapse because of our powerful strength!"
Hearing the Reviver speak so earnestly, Tianqi still didn't want to give up and asked, "Is there really no way?"
"Why do you insist on bringing others? You can come back anytime when you have enough strength to completely control the Time Force!" the Reviver asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because I don't want to walk alone!"
Upon hearing Tianqi's words, the Reviver hesitated again. He completely understood Tianqi, because he had been in the same situation before. After thinking it over carefully, he spoke again.
"In that case, bringing people along isn't out of the question, but those people you bring can't travel to other worlds. Is that alright?"
"What does it mean that we can't travel to other worlds?" Tianqi asked, puzzled.
"There's a manned space inside the system. You can put people in there if you want to bring them, but they can't leave the manned space and can only stay there. Once you're strong enough, you can live with them in the Dark Abyss!"
"System manned space, can you tell me the specifics?" With such a good thing, Tianqi always felt that things wouldn't be that simple.
"Uh... it's called carrying people, but it's really just storing people in the space like corpses. They have no senses inside, and their time is completely stopped!" He was a little embarrassed when talking about this Reviver.
"It's not that simple after all. Is this the only way?" Seeing that there was indeed something fishy going on, Tianqi asked speechlessly.
"This is the only way; there's no other way, and even this method requires my approval!"
