However, that did not affect Zhao Cheng's ability to enlighten his parallel selves.
Setting aside the previous special case and the real-world timeline, Zhao Cheng could now observe 129,599 parallel worlds.
Not every one of those worlds contained him. Some were set in the past, some in the future. In those worlds, he either had yet to be born or was already dead, making enlightenment impossible.
Perhaps in the future, he would be able to condense marks in those worlds out of thin air and manifest alternate selves. But for now, he could not do so. He needed an anchor point before he could interfere.
For the moment, those worlds held little value.
Of the worlds where he did exist, Zhao Cheng counted only 43,623.
If he enlightened every version of himself in those worlds, then in terms of combat power, his Sword of Abiding Kalpa would be able to connect with parallel spacetime. Even accounting for losses, it would still bring at least a ten-thousandfold increase.
And more importantly, if he explored outward and pursued cultivation through tens of thousands of different worldlines, how fast would his accumulation become?!
Indeed, since they were parallel worlds, the knowledge available in each spacetime was highly similar and could not compare to entirely different instances. But there would always be something new.
Zhao Cheng could not help but ponder it. He had merely brushed against the multiverse, yet once he completed the enlightenment, both his combat power and cultivation speed would undergo such immense changes.
Then at what kind of speed did those complete multiversal great lives grow?!
Sure enough, if you wanted to overtake on a bend, you still had to turn on cheats!
Zhao Cheng looked toward the Panel. Both simulations and instances were currently on cooldown.
