The Limitless World
Xu Xiao appeared at a manor in San Francisco, which was also the place he had left from.
"Sure enough, when I left from there, I came back to the same place."
This was Xu Xiao's first time returning to a world he had been to before, so it was an experiment.
After returning to the main world's Vanguard City from the Limitless world, he traveled to the Lucy world again.
There's no way to directly travel from one anchor world to another, which is why Xu Xiao has to keep a close watch on Vanguard City.
Xu Xiao picked up a mechanical clock from the table beside him, checked the time, and then looked puzzled.
"That's not right! I remember I left at 11:31 on July 11th. How come it's still 11:48 on July 11th now?"
There is a time difference between the anchor world and the main world. For example, Xu Xiao had roughly calculated that three days in the anchor world would only take about one day in the main world.
However, this time when he returned to Vanguard City from the Limitless World, he only replenished his energy before immediately traveling to the Lucy World.
After spending three days in the Lucy, I quickly returned to the main world for a transfer, and then came back.
"Does this mean that while I'm in the anchor world, time doesn't flow in the other anchor worlds?"
The brain quickly realized the problem, and then Xu Xiao took out another crystal core to charge the World-Crossing Gate.
After recording the time on the clock, Xu Xiao returned to the main world.
After that, he continued his back-and-forth time travel experiments, eventually figuring out the time issue between the anchor world and the main world.
"Just as I suspected, when I was in one anchor world, time was paused in the other anchor world."
"Time flows at a 1:1 ratio only when I am in the main world, while in the anchor world, the flow rate in the main world slows down to about 3:1."
"It seems that my previous plan to have my offspring in different worlds help me take over the world, and to have the forces I control conduct research while I travel to other worlds, is not going to be realized."
Xu Xiao rubbed his chin; this wasn't good news for him.
I originally thought that after conquering one world after another, all I needed to do was plan the general direction and go back every now and then to reap the rewards. But now it seems that I was a bit naive.
Since he cannot utilize the time difference between different worlds, he needs to frequently use a certain anchor world or the main world to drive the flow of time in each world.
However, there's nothing that can be done; everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and it's impossible for everything to go perfectly.
It's better that the timelines are different; at least when he goes back, all his women will have grown old.
"However, my own lifespan is waning. No matter which world I'm in, my body does indeed undergo corresponding changes with each passing day."
Xu Xiao sensed his body's condition. Ever since Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils developed his Divine Sense, he had been able to accurately grasp his body's state.
The traces of time are imperceptible to ordinary people, but to him they are as clear as the lines on his palm.
He vividly witnessed the division and aging of body cells, and every bit of damage to internal organs.
Although he could prolong this process by using the Spiritual Power within his body to nourish it, Xu Xiao's lifespan didn't actually increase much.
"Based on the cell classification of my body, my lifespan should be around two hundred years. However, I also possess Innate Qi within me. With the nourishment of Spiritual Power mixed with Innate Qi, my internal organs can last even longer."
"But you can't say for sure."
"Combat, injuries, and overexertion of mental strength—all of these will affect my lifespan."
"Therefore, the most urgent task is to achieve immortality. Only with sufficient lifespan and power can I travel to different worlds more often, absorb different powers, and strengthen myself."
Xu Xiao picked up the briefcase containing CPH4 and headed to the laboratory, pondering his next destination along the way.
"Excluding those cultivation worlds and fantasy worlds that explicitly possess gods and demons, there aren't many choices left for worlds that truly possess the power of immortality."
"After studying the Blood Orchid from Anaconda, it should be able to further optimize my body."
" The Dragon Essence from the Wind and Cloud World, the Four Great Books of Wonder from the Great Tang Twin Dragons World the Pirates of the Caribbean Youthful Fountain of Youth from Fullmetal Alchemist, the Philosopher 'Philosopher's Stone from Fullmetal Alchemist, the Sorcerer's Stone from Harry Potter, the Perfect Virus from Resident Evil, and some other powers from anime can all achieve this."
"But currently, apart from Anaconda and Resident Evil, the other worlds are all too complex."
" The Wind and Cloud World is too complex. Those old fogies can even travel through time and space, and even launch soul attacks. Even weaker cultivation worlds are not as powerful as this martial arts world. I can't go there for now."
"Once I'm stronger, I might consider going."
Xu Xiao deduced the information in his mind.
There are many good things in Wind and Cloud, such as the essence of the four divine beasts and various top-level martial arts that are almost comparable to or even surpass the skill of Carefree Wind Riding. These are all first-class items.
"No other world will do either!"
"There really are gods in Pirates of the Caribbean, and the same goes for Fullmetal Alchemist. I can't gamble on whether they will appear and deal with me, an outsider."
"The same goes for the Harry Potter world. Although those spells don't seem that powerful to me now, there might really be magical God or something like that. The main problem is that the Sorcerer's Stone's immortality effect is too useless; it requires long-term consumption to slow down aging."
"In the case of Resident Evil, while those perfect viruses can achieve immortality, they should essentially be similar to the ' Spider-Man ' enhancement serum I used."
"They all involve using external tools to unlock Gene Shackles and unleash the body's potential to complete evolution. However, the side effects and success rate are too low. I'd rather go to the X-Men universe and find some Mutants to study."
The risks and rewards are disproportionate!
After going through all the different worlds in his mind, Xu Xiao could only sigh helplessly.
"At this point, the only options seem to be Anaconda and Twin Dragons of the Twin Dragons of the Great Tang."
" The Four Great Books of Wonder in Twin Dragons, along with all sorts of martial arts treasures, can enhance my Martial Dao cultivation, and there are also quite a few beautiful women in it."
"Mainly, with my strength, once I enter the Twin Dragons, as long as Guangchengzi, who Shattering the Void, doesn't return, I can easily defeat everyone else."
"Ah! Strength!"
Ultimately, it's because he wasn't strong enough; otherwise, Xu Xiao wouldn't have needed to consider things so much.
