His mind drifted through an Ocean of information, his body becoming one with this unique universe.
He glimpsed the past: civilization after civilization, one great individual after another.
Civilizational technology, culture, and spirit; superpower knowledge, class systems...
Things that had once appeared, things still developing, even things that had yet to appear and existed only in the future.
All of it surfaced in Meng Chuan's mind.
Truthfully, Meng Chuan had seen worlds whose civilizations developed like those in the world of The Legendary Mechanic.
Rather than relying on the might of individuals, they gathered the strength of civilizations, advanced as a whole, and developed as nations.
Even so, Meng Chuan had gained something from coming here.
Insights into systems, information, and the Divine Way of the Primordial Beginning Body...
This world was not weak.
Before Han Xiao appeared, individual might had peaked at Beyond Grade A. That level was nothing remarkable.
Even after Han Xiao appeared, no individual's might could withstand the destruction of the world and emerge unscathed.
But when a civilization developed to its peak, when it could be called an Ultimate Civilization, it had strengths worth learning from.
Individual might and the collective strength of civilization each had their advantages and shortcomings.
Yet an individual whose might was roughly on par with an Ultimate Civilization would have found it almost impossible to create a universe on the dark side.
If the world of The Legendary Mechanic truly produced an ultimate lifeform of that caliber, however, he could certainly survive the universe's great reboot on his own.
The heavens could collapse and the earth could perish, but he would remain undying.
Each side excelled in a different domain, and each could accomplish different things.
Meng Chuan had vanished, yet he still existed.
The two universes were his body.
