Chapter 1688 - 1254: It’s All My Fault

"Hello there, Future Me, as scheduled, you’ve indeed arrived here on time. Look, this is the gate to the Divine Realm. In the past, to enter the Divine Realm required immense effort, continuous cultivation, and the purification of one’s soul, among other things. However, now you just need to open a door, and the beings inside the Divine Realm are not so different from us; they’re just luckier, born in the Divine Realm and possessing Divine Power. Once we enter, we will become even more powerful than most gods."

Long Yi in the video spoke with great fervor.

"But, I’m sure you didn’t come here just to listen to me say this, right?"

At this point, Long Yi in the video abruptly changed his tone.

"You’ve come here, but you haven’t opened the gate, which indicates that your mission in the upper Plane is not yet completed. This suggests that the threat of the Worm still exists. We, as God Eaters, should certainly not fear the Worm, so this can only mean one thing: the situation has spiraled out of control, right? Let me guess, if there’s anything that could cause the situation to become uncontrollable, the only possibility is that the Worm god created an Avatar or projection that went to the upper Plane and took control of all of the Dragon Clan. Unless they band together, we should be more than capable of handling anything."

It has to be said, this past self of his got it right; that’s exactly the situation.

"Regrettably, even the current me doesn’t have a good solution for this," said that Long Yi with a laugh.

"I don’t believe it," Long Yi said.

"I guessed you definitely wouldn’t believe it," said Long Yi in the video.

"Yeah, I really don’t," Long Yi said with amusement, finding this self-dialogue rather fun.

"But disbelief won’t change the facts; that’s just the way things are," said Long Yi in the video.

"Damn it, I thought you were going to present a ’but’ after that, turns out there really is no solution," Long Yi said with resignation.

"Hahaha! I can almost guess the helpless look on your face right now! How could I, someone who has anticipated all sorts of things, truly have no solution! Come on, call me ’brother’ to hear it! Call me ’brother’, and I’ll give you the solution!" the Long Yi in the video obnoxiously yelled.

The video playback stopped, and the Giant tablet automatically entered voiceprint unlocking mode; it seemed that he really had to make the call.

"I’ll call you nothing, I’ve never seen such a guy trying to take advantage of his own self," Long Yi cursed.

A new segment of video automatically played: "Hahaha, I don’t know what you shouted, but you definitely didn’t call me ’brother.’ Actually, I was just saying it casually; after all, you and I are the same person. How could I possibly call myself ’brother’? Go, there is an ultimate solution I left for you in a certain warehouse, do you still remember your final cheat code? I’ve upgraded it a bit for you, guaranteeing that once you use it, everything won’t start over from scratch."

Long Yi always possessed an ultimate cheat code reserved for the most dangerous moments. Once activated, everything would start from the beginning. To be honest, not even himself was quite clear about what this ultimate cheat code really entailed; he only had a vague concept of this so-called cheat, and as for how it actually worked, the principle behind it, he had no idea. He didn’t even know where this ultimate cheat was hidden.

He only knew that to activate it, all it took was one sentence.

’Activate, the Causality of the Giant.’

Long Yi knew that once activated, everything would return to its original place, but as for what kind of return that would be, Long Yi didn’t know.

Following the guidance left by the past Long Yi, he arrived at a warehouse with no doors, which was empty without any usable supplies. However, in the most conspicuous place in the center of the warehouse, there was a life-sized statue, unsurprisingly of himself. The statue pointed to the ground next to it, where there was a circular ring with footprints shaped indents within it.

Clearly, it was meant for Long Yi to stand there.

Long Yi walked over, and the moment his feet touched the footprints, the scenery around him suddenly changed, transforming into a vast starry sky. The statue beside him also came to life.

"Our search for knowledge from the descending Heavenly Kingdom has never ceased; we firmly believe that hidden within lies wondrous and unimaginable cosmic secrets. Hence, we have been relentlessly persevering, and now, our fifth research team presents to you our latest decoded information."

"Causality."

It turned out this was a holographic image, and clearly, Long Yi had recorded this not for his own introduction but to show to all the Giants.

The image shifted, and a massive white cube appeared suspended in the midst of space. At first, Long Yi didn’t think there was anything special about this white cube, but when he noticed a small disc-like object beside it, he immediately realized that this white cube was far from ordinary.

The small disc was a nebula.

"This is the descending Heavenly Kingdom, a corner of the Heavenly Kingdom, containing a wealth of knowledge," that Long Yi appeared, explaining. "The Heavenly Kingdom encompasses everything but acquiring knowledge from within is not so straightforward; not even the people of the Heavenly Kingdom can easily accomplish this. That is also why we spend vast amounts of time on research and calculations. Of course, research and calculation are not easy tasks, and this time, our achievements are sufficient to be counted among the greatest discoveries within the descending Heavenly Kingdom in the past ten thousand years."
