Chapter 256: The Unrivaled Tang Sect Universe, Ah Yin: What About My Ending?
Yun Yuan's divine consciousness, which had reached the Half-Step Transcendent realm, carefully passed through the tiny point of connection, cautiously sensing the situation within the other universe.
He saw countless planes, each varying in strength.
However, it did not take long for Yun Yuan to notice something unusual.
This other universe looked strangely familiar.
It was nearly identical to the Douluo Universe he resided in.
As for that final difference, Yun Yuan quickly identified it.
"The Douluo God Realm! This universe also has a Douluo God Realm!"
At this moment, Yun Yuan could confirm that this universe was most likely a parallel universe of the Douluo Universe.
He continued observing, his divine consciousness quietly sweeping across the entire Douluo God Realm.
The Sea God Temple, a handsome man with long blue hair, a young woman in a pink dress with a long braid...
The era of The Unrivaled Tang Sect!
Yun Yuan finally confirmed the period this universe was in.
"Hah... Tang San. I never expected I'd have the chance to meet the godhood version of you. How interesting."
Compared to Tang San during the first era of Douluo, the one he despised the most was Tang San during The Unrivaled Tang Sect.
Tang San, during the first era, was, at most, a hypocrite with double standards who constantly portrayed himself as pure and noble.
But Tang San, during The Unrivaled Tang Sect, had completely ceased to be human.
Perhaps after experiencing the taste of power, Tang San had become a living monster.
He openly interfered with the Douluo Continent, attempted to tame the Child of Destiny, and even split his own daughter's soul simply to achieve his goals...
As Yun Yuan's divine consciousness swept across the Douluo Continent below, he also confirmed the exact point in time.
It was the very beginning of the story.
Just as Yun Yuan continued observing freely, the Universe Consciousness of The Unrivaled Tang Sect universe seemed to detect the aura of this outsider.
In an instant, the entire The Unrivaled Tang Sect universe began rejecting Yun Yuan's divine consciousness.
Not only that, but the Supreme Laws that transcended the five-dimensional universe forcibly expelled Yun Yuan's divine consciousness.
Under the Supreme Laws, universes were isolated from one another. Experts from one universe were forbidden from freely entering another.
Even though Yun Yuan had already reached the Half-Step Transcendent realm, he still could not violate the Supreme Laws that governed the order of all universes.
However, there was still a way to interfere with another universe.
Of the Heavenly Dao's fifty evolutions, one always escaped.
"The Unrivaled Tang Sect universe... one day, I will devour you and use you to transcend the Supreme God King realm!"
Through the point of connection, Yun Yuan cast one final glance at the universe filled with the origins of countless laws, his eyes burning with desire.
The origins of the two universes combined were just like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
The result was far greater than one plus one equals two.
Soon, Yun Yuan withdrew his divine consciousness from beyond the universe and returned to the Core of the Universe.
"Yuan, how was it? Did you gain anything?"
Seeing Yun Yuan open his eyes, Gu Yuena eagerly asked.
"Na'er, I'm now the ruler of the entire universe."
"Through the Heart of the Universe, I also discovered another universe."
Yun Yuan told Gu Yuena everything he had learned.
"Another universe?!"
Gu Yuena was utterly astonished.
"Mhm. We'll talk about it after we return. I do intend to devour that universe, but I'll need all of your help."
Hearing Yun Yuan's answer, Gu Yuena became confused.
Yun Yuan had already reached the very end of the Supreme God King realm. After refining the Heart of the Universe, his strength had undoubtedly become even more terrifying.
Under such circumstances, why would he still need the help of people far weaker than himself?
Immediately afterward,
Yun Yuan held Gu Yuena's small hand and instantly left the Core of the Universe with her.
Not long afterward, the two returned to the Atlas Hall within Spirit City.
"You're back."
"Sister Na'er, congratulations on breaking through to the Supreme God King realm!"
...
Cheers rang out one after another.
Bo Saixi, Bibi Dong, Ye Qingxian, Ah Yin, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and Qian Renxue surrounded Yun Yuan and Gu Yuena, celebrating their return.
"Dong'er, everyone, I've discovered a new universe."
At that moment, Yun Yuan shared the news with all of his wives.
"This universe is deeply connected to ours. It's a parallel universe of our own, but with a different timeline."
"A parallel universe?!"
The women looked bewildered by Yun Yuan's explanation.
They had little understanding of the concept of parallel universes, so they could only widen their eyes and wait for him to explain further.
"Simply put, the universe I discovered is our universe... ten thousand years in the future."
After hearing Yun Yuan's explanation, the women immediately understood.
"So, Yuan, does that mean we'll be able to see our future selves?"
"I really want to know what our children will look like. Will they be boys or girls? What will their names be?"
For a time, the women began discussing excitedly.
They were incredibly curious about their own futures.
If they could catch a glimpse of what lay ahead, it would be truly wonderful.
Beside them, Gu Yuena, who had already become a Supreme God King, glanced at Yun Yuan before gently placing a hand on her stomach.
"I wonder how many little dragon babies I've given for Yuan after ten thousand years."
Clearly, all of them believed that the other universe was simply their future ten thousand years later, where they were living happily together with Yun Yuan.
Looking at their cheerful expressions, Yun Yuan sighed before continuing his explanation.
"Everyone... actually, I don't exist in that universe."
"To be more precise, it's the universe ten thousand years after Tang San became a god."
"Because I never existed there, none of what we have now ever happened in that world."
Hearing this, the women fell silent, and their smiles disappeared.
"Then... What happened to us?"
After learning the truth, they all wanted to know what kind of endings their counterparts in that universe had met.
At the same time, they also became anxious.
Without Yun Yuan, what kind of fate awaited them?
"Dong'er, you were killed by Tang San, and the Spirit Hall was completely destroyed."
"Xue'er, Tang San shattered your divine position. You were never able to break through to the rank of Titled Douluo again, and in the end, you withdrew into the mountains and forests, where you died of old age."
The expressions of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue immediately darkened, their eyes blazing with fury.
That damned Tang San truly deserved death!
"Qingxian, you died because of the Nine Heart Begonia curse."
Ye Qingxian looked saddened.
To have died because of the Nine Heart Begonia curse... did that mean she had eventually given birth to a daughter?
However, when she remembered that her counterpart in that universe had already been dead for ten thousand years, she gradually calmed herself.
"Xixi, you sacrificed yourself during the Sea God's Nine Trials for Tang San."
Bo Saixi was momentarily stunned.
How had Tang San inherited the Sea God's divine position in that universe?
When she came back to her senses, her heart was filled with anger.
Someone like Tang San was unworthy of becoming the Sea God!
If given the opportunity, she would definitely reclaim the Sea God's divine position from that other universe!
"Bing'er, Xue'er, Na'er, the three of you remained where you originally belonged in that universe. Nothing changed very much."
Hearing this, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and Gu Yuena all let out sighs of relief.
"Yuan, what about me? What about me?"
Seeing that Yun Yuan had gone through everyone one by one except her, Ah Yin hurriedly urged him to tell her ending.
T/N: I'm a little confused here. If I remember correctly, there should be a realm above the Supreme God King called the Creator God. The Creator God is the true master of the Douluo Universe, a concept very similar to the Dimension Master in the Martial Universe (WDQK).
