Xu Xiao had absolutely no idea about the origins of the Heavens World-Crossing Gate.

Since the apocalypse began, a small number of people around me have gradually awakened their superpowers, but Xu Xiao remains an ordinary person.

For those seven years after the apocalypse, he struggled to survive, desperately trying to stay alive.

The real discovery of this cheat code in his mind came thanks to an accidental scavenging trip. Xu Xiao unintentionally found a USB drive filled with movies and TV shows, which finally activated the cheat code.

He had absolutely no idea when the Heavens World-Crossing Gate appeared in his mind or how long it had existed.

Fortunately, he wasn't the type to pry into everything; he only needed to figure out the function of the cheat system.

As for its origins or other aspects, he didn't care at all.

After all, he was born with such a free and easy nature, and he had traveled through several worlds, enjoying many things he had never experienced before.

Even if there were some conspiracy or other schemes, he could only fight back with all his might; whether he could win was another matter entirely.

However, as the World-Crossing Gate exerted its power, the unknown characters were gradually assimilated.

The originally azure-colored characters began to take on a deep blue hue, similar to a World-Crossing Gate, and were quickly assimilated.

The characters were broken down into two forces. Some forces that Xu Xiao could not understand entered the World-Crossing Gate, while others merged into Xu Xiao's True Spirit Seed.

The long-awaited True Spirit Seed received this infusion of energy and was instantly satisfied.

The True Spirit Seed, which was originally only the size of a thumb, has expanded to more than double its original size, and its original golden light has also faintly revealed a seven-colored hue.

"This is..."

At the same time, some mysterious information was also released from it, allowing Xu Xiao to begin to understand what was going on.

First and foremost is this character. This is no ordinary character; it is a rare artifact of the world and a part of the World Will.

It contains a trace of the origin and fundamental rules of this world.

Originally, this was prepared for the protagonists Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling in this world, to help them grow rapidly, but Xu Xiao intercepted it.

This is also the main reason why the World Will revived and then attacked Xu Xiao.

Some might say, " Xu Xiao has also traveled through many worlds before and seized opportunities from the protagonist, so why didn't we see those World Will awaken and attack him?"

That's a good question. This is all thanks to the disguise of the World-Crossing Gate.

The countdown after each world crossing was actually a disguise given to Xu Xiao by the Heavens World-Crossing Gate, making it seem as if he wouldn't be discovered as soon as he entered the world.

The World Will is not as magical as people imagine. It has little influence on living beings; it only has control over the nature that constitutes the world itself.

Under normal circumstances, unless there is a crisis that threatens the destruction of the entire world, or an act of blatant intrusion into the world, the World Will will mostly be obscured by Xu Xiao's disguise.

In the eyes of the World Will, Xu Xiao was just a local who, despite not being favored by fate, still rose to prominence.

Although there are some variables, the will of a world will not interfere unless it is controlled by a certain entity.

All living beings in the world, every blade of grass and every tree, are part of it, and it will not interfere with these variables.

After all, all evolutions are inherently variable; the celestial evolution is 49, and one of them is hidden—this is what is left for change.

In the previous worlds, whether Xu Xiao stole the protagonist's opportunities or did other things, these were all products of the creatures within those worlds, and therefore did not attract the attention of the World Will.

This time is different. The He Shi Bi is a rare treasure in the world and a key to the protagonist's growth, containing a trace of the world's fundamental rules.

For Xu Xiao, an outsider, to suddenly touch this thing is like a thief sneaking around to steal something, only to end up stealing directly from the sleeping owner.

Now, the disguise provided by the World-Crossing Gate could no longer conceal Xu Xiao's identity, and the World Will immediately recognized his true identity as an extraterrestrial visitor.

The World Will is naturally furious at anyone who is not a native of its world and is determined to expel and eliminate Xu Xiao.

Fortunately, the world of The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Great Tang is a high-level martial arts world, without any overly advanced powers.

The only attack that the World Will can control is the power of nature, and it cannot afford to destroy the entire house just to catch a thief, so it chose the power of thunder.

Otherwise, in a world with gods, demons, or Heavenly Dao tribulations, a single bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Lightning would be enough to overwhelm Xu Xiao.

"False alarm! You couldn't do anything to me before, and now that I've stolen a sliver of the world's foundation, you can't do anything to me anymore!"

Xu Xiao also understood what that sliver of power absorbed by the World-Crossing Gate was.

That constitutes the fundamental authority that makes a world function, which is equivalent to him having a backdoor to the backend maintenance authority.

While it's impossible to clear Xu Xiao's name as an illegal immigrant, it can at least protect him from being hunted down by the World Will.

After all, that trace of authority had been merged into the World-Crossing Gate, so Xu Xiao could be considered to have a semi-legitimate identity.

When Xu Xiao obtained that World Authority, the World Will was unsure whether to continue attacking him, which is why it retreated.

With this worry gone, Xu Xiao also flew up from the seabed. The thunderclouds in the sky were indeed not attacking him, but they had not dissipated either.

Wherever Xu Xiao flew, Lei Yun followed, making him a living advertisement.

Xu Xiao could only smile helplessly at this, "Now the whole world knows I'm an extraterrestrial demon."

"It's a pity I don't have any secret techniques related to lightning, otherwise such a constantly existing thundercloud would be quite an opportunity."

A thundercloud with lightning and thunder always follows in the sky, which looks quite cool, but the only drawback is that it can't fly too high.

The thundercloud was about 10,000 meters directly above Xu Xiao. Once it rushed in, the thunder wouldn't care who you were.

"However, on the other hand, it turns out that the disguise of this World-Crossing Gate was so strong."

"So, as long as I don't come into contact with any treasures that might be related to the World Will, my identity is considered legitimate in the eyes of most beings?"

Xu Xiao smiled.

This was the biggest gain from the trip, resolving his long-standing concerns.

This experience proves that in most cases, if he pays attention, most beings will be unable to distinguish whether he is a visitor from outside the region.

So, Xu Xiao can now try his hand at some worlds that were once thought to have murky backgrounds.
