467. Parallel
Safe zone.
Sulu's expression changed drastically. "This feeling... hometown? Could I really go back?"
Without the slightest hesitation, a Shadow Clone split off from him again and quickly disappeared into the area.
Rumble!
Numerous six-horned black-winged beasts roared as they pursued the Shadow Clone.
"I was just passing by..."
The Shadow Clone kept changing languages, helplessly watching as these void creatures remained unmoved.
"Did they encounter those beast-like void creatures with little Wisdom? Or is their resentment towards humanoid beings deeply ingrained?"
Not long after, Sulu, sensing the disappearance of his Shadow Clone, created a third one.
"I've already lured all these void creatures to the other side; now's the perfect opportunity..."
This Shadow Clone moved with incredible speed, like a bolt of Lightning, rushing into the area riddled with wormholes.
Without hesitation, he rushed toward the wormhole that gave him a vague sense of familiarity.
Buzz!
A shift in time and space brings an unexpected feeling of weightlessness.
A purple aura surrounded the Shadow Clone, as it tried its best to protect itself.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a completely unfamiliar area.
"This is also the Myriad Spirit World... but it's really remote!"
The Shadow Clone sighed, rubbed its temples, and an excited look appeared on its face. "The feeling is even stronger now."
He glanced back and saw that the tiny wormhole still existed, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, it's a two-way type, it can hold for a while longer."
Some wormholes only offer one-way tickets, so they're not an option for Sulu, who wants to return to the Main World.
This wormhole allows for bidirectional travel, making it highly valuable.
"This region seems even more barren than the area around the Hexa-Horned Beast..."
After walking for a long time, the Shadow Clone finally arrived at the source of that sense of familiarity.
Before him, a world appeared, taking the shape of a the Vortex cloud.
Sulu gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the white clouds.
In that instant, he seemed to see a giant star system.
Beyond the Sun, there are eight Star Ring, as well as numerous fragmented celestial bodies, satellites, and so on.
His Inspiration instantly reached the Dream Spirit World, granting him the information he desired.
"Without the pollution left by the gods, this is a 'clean' world! Life exists on only one planet, primarily composed of humans, but..."
The Shadow Clone, with a solemn expression, returned to the wormhole.
It was a tiny speck of light, the size of a speck of dust.
With a gentle touch, he was transported back to the Dark Region, where he was surrounded by a large number of Hexa-Horned Beast, his death imminent.
But Sulu himself didn't care at all.
The Shadow Clone has already gathered a great deal of information.
For example, the two-way nature of that wormhole, and the world that followed that felt familiar to him.
"I never imagined... it would be like this."
Sulu's face was pale, as if he couldn't bear the blow, but he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, I have to go see him."
He used the same trick again, creating a Shadow Clone to draw away the void creatures' firepower, while his main body swiftly passed through the wormhole.
Buzz!
The heavens and earth turned instantly.
"Although this is also the Myriad Spirit World... I have no idea where I am."
Sulu shook his head. "It seems... no gods are paying attention to this area... perhaps it's because there are too few worlds and the life force is too weak?"
The place where those void creatures had previously resided could already be described as a remote and impoverished area of Myriad Spirit World, but this place is even more desolate.
Within a vast area of darkness, there was only a white, nebula-like world.
Besides that, I have nothing!
"The gods seek to exert influence on the world, preferring regions teeming with life force, representing flourishing civilizations..."
"And this place is the desert of the world. Even Hexa-Horned Beast don't want to come here... Perhaps the wormhole is too small? Or perhaps they haven't discovered it? Not all void creatures use wormholes to travel..."
"I must say, from a purely ceremonial standpoint, I've found a great location."
Sulu arrived before that swirling cloud of stars, where Inspiration struck, and he interacted with the Dream Spirit World.
He gained a lot of information from this.
This world is vast, and it is called the 'universe'.
In the solar system, only one planet has produced life, and a civilization has miraculously begun to emerge. Within just a few thousand years, it has reached a highly advanced stage, possessing the ability to briefly explore planets.
However, their reach is still limited to the solar system.
In fact, considering the size of the world, the so-called boundary of the 'solar system' is the boundary of the world.
Once we break through the solar system, we will truly arrive in the Myriad Spirit World!
"But... that area between Venus and Mars isn't called Earth, it's called ' Blue Star '!"
"On this Blue Star, although there are various countries similar to my homeland, even in terms of race and history... giving me a strong sense of familiarity, this is not my homeland!"
Sulu's eyes seemed to glisten. "A parallel world?"
He had a premonition that he might never be able to return to the real Earth.
The feeling of utter despair shattered Sulu's heart, leaving him utterly dejected.
It was as if the hope I had held onto had suddenly collapsed.
He inadvertently revealed his mythical form, imbued with intense sorrow, which continued to Expansion outwards.
If a professional were to pass by, even a fifth-tier one, they would suffer severe damage.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Sulu suddenly burst into wild laughter. "If this is a parallel world, then what about all my persistence and efforts all this time?"
He laughed until tears streamed down his face, then suddenly gritted his teeth.
The constantly fluctuating spirituality around us finally stabilized.
"Even if I can never go back, I have a new family in the Main World... In Dragon, in Guni, and in other worlds, I have left behind my own legend."
"I want to keep advancing, to peer into the halls of the gods, and even break through to the eighth, ninth, or higher realms!"
"If this ' Ancient Spirit World,' encompassing numerous worlds, gods, and Divine Kingdom, is merely a parallel world, that doesn't matter..."
"As long as I keep breaking through the Spirit World levels, I will eventually break through the boundaries of the ' Ancient Spirit World ' and go to other 'Parallel Ancient Spirit World ' to find this location. Perhaps one of them will be my true home!"
"If this still doesn't work, then break through to a higher level and transcend to a larger 'category'!"
Although the hope was slim, Sulu's belief immediately became firm.
Wisdom beings have no inherent meaning in their existence; they need their own thinking to give them meaning!
At this moment, Sulu understood his own heart even more clearly.
He wanted to live, he wanted to reach even greater heights! He wanted to protect those he cared about! He wanted to... return to his hometown!
"There is no more suitable world than this."
Sulu took a deep breath, completely regaining his composure, his eyes shining brightly. "I'll use it as the foundation for my breakthrough!"
