There was not much useful information in the light speck, but upon careful thought, there was actually quite a lot.
For instance, Celestial Origin. Zhao Cheng had previously exchanged for an item from Celestial Origin—the Perfect Life Card. That was a power capable of directly reshaping the world.
Although its description said it was something meant to swindle funding, that alone showed just how formidable the civilization known as Celestial Origin had been.
Compared to the claim that Infinite Earth was the Dao Fruit of the Dimensional Demon God, Zhao Cheng was more inclined toward the explanation that it was a Celestial Origin Fragment.
Based on Zhao Cheng's understanding of cultivation, if it were a fragment of the Dimensional Demon God's Dao Fruit, then even as a fragment, it should not merely run through all parallel spacetime—it should also run through every timeline.
In other words, Infinite Earth should have existed at every point in time.
Yet clearly, Infinite Earth did not exist in his era.
Because Zhao Cheng came from the point in time known as the present, he recognized this fact. But because of the mist, the beings of future spacetime had developed the mistaken belief that Infinite Earth had always existed.
After all, the mist did not just sever the river of years—it also obscured the past.
On the contrary, Zhao Cheng believed the possibility of it being a Celestial Origin Fragment was greater. The reason was simple: his exchange Shop had once refreshed items from Celestial Origin.
The operating mechanism of his own Panel was to extract information from within dimensions, supplement it with energy, then combine the two to create things from nothing, replicating things that had once existed.
The Panel's exchanges were replications, not fabrications from thin air.
Zhao Cheng had long known this.
