In the real world, layer upon layer of parallel worlds unfolded before his eyes, countless threads running side by side, displaying every kind of possibility.
Yet even though his perspective had always reached the number of the One, without relying on Zhao Xiaoxiang as a coordinate, he still could not see the parallel spacetime where she was.
The "distance" between them was simply too great.
However, when his sense-awareness touched Creation for a second time and he observed that parallel spacetime again, Zhao Cheng was no longer as powerless as before.
He did not even need the Hyper-Dimensional Body to descend into reality, nor did he need to pay the price of a life. With his current strength alone, he could project a trace of his radiance across.
At the same time, he understood how to pull Zhao Xiaoxiang back.
He needed to erect a bridge across the multiverse, founded upon two sufficiently stable anchor points—one in real spacetime, and one in parallel spacetime.
As for the method, it naturally was not to have his parallel-world self cultivate step by step until reaching an overwhelmingly powerful realm. That would be far too slow.
Zhao Cheng's method was to make use of the phenomenon that, once he observed his parallel-world self, both that self's starting point and endpoint became fixed—and artificially accelerate the process.
At the same time, this process was also one of exploration for Zhao Cheng: an exploration and verification of sense-awareness, spirit, self, and the multiverse.
In truth, the moment Zhao Cheng's sense-awareness touched Creation, his mind had already begun a new round of ascension.
Originally, there had only been one of him. That was him.
From his past life to this one, then later, when the Panel appeared—simulation after simulation, then clearing them, cultivating without falling, and
