Cheat, activate!

The dark, empty realm of mind and spacetime had neither direction nor dimension, nor any passage of time. It was the tangible manifestation of the cheat that had accompanied Li Che from birth.

Li Che called it the Infinite Land.

At that moment, several illusory stars formed of light floated and shone quietly within that boundless space.

In the fifty thousand-plus years since his transmigration, Li Che, as the master of the Infinite Land, had witnessed the deaths of nine counterparts who had transmigrated into other spacetimes, and had received the legacies of eight of them.

The Love Apartment World, the Brotherhood of Blades World, the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber World, the Joy of Life World, the Jackie Chan Adventures World...

Clearly, most of the worlds Li Che had inherited did not have particularly high levels of martial power. Quite a few offered no help at all with his cultivation of laws. Li Che had merely left marks in those worlds in case he needed them in the future.

Fortunately, the limits of their worlds meant their final wishes were not difficult to fulfill. Now that his many selves had become one, everything belonging to those incarnations had been inherited and integrated into his original body.

Of course, there were also worlds that had genuine value for Li Che's cultivation.

At that thought, Li Che's gaze swept through the empty space and settled on two brilliant spheres of light in a corner.

In the fifty thousand-plus years since his transmigration, Li Che had encountered only two counterparts with complete cultivation systems useful to him.

One came from the Lord Xue Ying World, which lay within the same Chaotic Origin spacetime dimension as Li Che.

That counterpart had arrived in a material world similar to the Xia Clan World. He had started as a mortal knight and cultivated all the way to the demigod level.

Judging by its spacetime structure, that counterpart's material world seemed to lean heavily toward the Abyss. This had drawn the attention of a demon god at the World Deity level, and demons frequently ran rampant there.

Xue Ying Li Che had grown up against that backdrop.

Like Li Che's original self in the Swallowed Star World, the Li Che of the Xue Ying World had a talent for the earth origin law. However, the first law he comprehended had not been earth true meaning, but fourth-grade gravity true meaning.

After that, Xue Ying Li Che had used gravity true meaning as the foundation for deeper study, gradually comprehending third-grade gravitation true meaning. Later, when he was several hundred years old, he had even comprehended second-grade star true meaning.

Unfortunately, just as everyone in that material world believed Xue Ying Li Che would use star true meaning as his foundation to pursue a first-grade true meaning, a demonic tide erupted.

The demon god who constantly coveted Xue Ying Li Che's material world had also recognized his limitless potential. Sparing no expense, the demon god sent in numerous powerful Abyssal demons and treasures, launching an ambush and encirclement that killed Xue Ying Li Che despite his second-grade star true meaning.

Afterward, Li Che's original self, then at the Domain Lord level, had inherited Xue Ying Li Che's identity, uprooted the demon god's forces in that material world, and inherited everything belonging to that counterpart.

With the talents of eight incarnations stacked onto his original self, Li Che was fairly certain that, when he unleashed his full power, his physical density, soul strength, talent, and cultivation speed were all nine times what they had originally been. It was extraordinarily efficient.

Originally, Li Che's original self had not been particularly powerful among humans. Members of his race generally reached the Planetary level upon normal maturation, placing them at a fairly standard onefold genetic level.

Now, however, Li Che could reach a level of one multiplied by nine through the Infinite Land.

Moreover, as a world of profound rule mysteries with fundamental similarities to the Swallowed Star dimension, the Xue Ying World's cultivation system had given Li Che's original self considerable inspiration.

Starting with the gravity aspect of the earth origin law, he had gradually grasped the essence of gravitation that existed throughout the various worlds. By continually deepening and expanding his understanding, Li Che had gradually developed a cultivation path that was not mainstream in the Swallowed Star universe.

In the Xue Ying World, this profound rule mystery was called first-grade chaotic void true meaning.

And in the Swallowed Star World, this rule had a corresponding manifestation.

Black holes!

Over the years, it was by continually delving into the mysteries contained within these celestial bodies and comparing the rules of the Xue Ying World with those of the Swallowed Star World that Li Che had grown steadily stronger, earning himself the title "World Master of Guixu" within human territory.

Once I inherit everything from this ninth counterpart, my strength will surely surge again.

As that thought settled, Li Che withdrew his gaze from the illusory star representing Xue Ying Li Che within the Infinite Land, then turned to the last illusory star he had yet to fully claim.

This was his ninth deceased incarnation, whose illusory star had appeared in the Infinite Land just over a decade ago. Since Li Che had yet to fulfill his final wish, he had not inherited anything from him.

This counterpart's circumstances were rather unusual. He had also transmigrated into the Swallowed Star World, but at a point in the past, arriving on Earth during the Mountain Sea Realm era.

He could be called Mountain Sea Realm Li Che.

The hazy images of his memories revealed that Mountain Sea Realm Li Che had displayed truly extraordinary aptitude. After integrating into the human race, he had demonstrated remarkable talent, earning the attention and nurturing of its upper ranks.

He had charged forward all the way, even managing to kill a peak Marquis-level Immortal head-on while still a World Lord.

Later, Mountain Sea Realm Li Che had even caught Mountain Guest's eye and gained the right to inherit the Star Tower.

Thanks to the intrinsic nature of Earth's people, Mountain Sea Realm Li Che's state of mind and willpower had undoubtedly been exceptionally refined, reaching an extremely high level.

Then, when Mountain Sea Realm Li Che felt he could improve his state of mind no further, he had chosen to contact the Universe Master named Puti and attempt to become the Star Tower's master.

Unlike in the original timeline, he had been the second powerful cultivator of the Mountain Sea Realm era to undergo the Star Tower's master-recognition ritual.

Unfortunately, after holding on for three thousand years, Mountain Sea Realm Li Che had ultimately failed.

His body had collapsed and his soul had dispersed. Everything accumulated over those long years had turned to dust, leaving only his fifty thousand years of life experiences and the like to return to the Infinite Land.

As an exceptionally powerful World Lord, his lingering attachment and final wish were far simpler than those of his counterparts from other spacetimes.

He wanted to return to his homeworld and see it again.

It was a perfectly understandable wish. During the three thousand years of the Star Tower's master-recognition ritual, Mountain Sea Realm Li Che had endured unimaginable pain and torment. Many of his former attachments had faded amid that extreme suffering, leaving only his purest desire.

To go home!

"Ah..."

Looking through the hazy, illusory star, Li Che had roughly reviewed Mountain Sea Realm Li Che's life. He felt that, although his counterpart from that parallel timeline possessed great strength of character and will, those same qualities had also fostered an obsessive streak.

Whether in opportunities, comprehension, or other respects, Mountain Sea Realm Li Che had actually fallen short of Luo Feng, who had become the Star Tower's master in the original timeline. Yet for that faint possibility, Mountain Sea Realm Li Che had still chosen to stake everything on one attempt before breaking through to Immortality.

Perhaps he had believed that, after his death, some Universe Master of the human race could resurrect him. He had never expected to end up in the Infinite Land instead.

Fulfilling this counterpart's long-held wish was precisely why Li Che was so eager to retire through the Extraterrestrial Battlefield's system.

My original self has, in the end, been too absorbed in cultivating the origin laws related to black holes. Although this Mountain Sea Realm incarnation also started with the earth origin law, the path he chose leaned more toward space. That will help round out my original self's cultivation.

Within the empty space of the Infinite Land, Li Che's original self murmured to himself.

He had no intention of returning to life in the past under Mountain Sea Realm Li Che's identity. The personality and behavioral patterns his original self had developed over fifty thousand years were entirely different from Mountain Sea Realm Li Che's. If Mountain Guest, Puti, or any other human Universe Master suspected that someone had seized his body, it would inevitably bring considerable trouble.

To spare himself that trouble, Li Che had chosen to let Mountain Sea Realm Li Che's identity die for good.

With his many selves united as one, Li Che did not find that particularly regrettable.

Smack!

While Li Che was lost in thought, a huge, fan-sized hand wreathed in flickering flames suddenly slapped the shoulder of his physical body at the God Base. His awareness immediately withdrew from the Infinite Land and returned to his body.

Sure enough, it was Zhuoyan, the veteran World Lord from the Desolate God Race, who had acted, waking Li Che directly:

"Guixu, let's go. I just got word that a great being of our Virtual Universe Company, at the Universe Country Ruler level, heard you were about to retire and wants to meet you."
