Chapter 499: A Different History
Normally, a true immortal should never travel in the Vast Void, as they were likely to run out of qi before reaching another realm, much less an injured immortal. Only immortal monarchs had the prerequisite power to traverse the void, though it was still dangerous. However, Tianyi did not have that problem. His connection to the Nine Heavens Universe supplied him with an infinite amount of qi, and his mastery over spacetime increased his travel speed dramatically.
Tianyi’s body flew toward the boundary of the unranked realm and slipped through without causing a ripple. Upon entering the Vast Void, he stilled.
He originally thought it was a misconception and because he was in an unranked realm. Now that he entered the Vast Void, he was sure that his senses did not deceive him. The restriction on his Nine Heavens Universe had weakened and the Vast Void was not as stable as the prime timeline.
Although the Vast Void is said to contain nothing, it is still much more habitable than the True Nothingness beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. Naturally, something must keep the system stable for it to be habitable. And that something was the Heavenly Dao. For the Vast Void to be less stable compared to the prime timeline, then it meant that the Heavenly Dao had weakened.
This was a manifestation of the weakening timeline. Once too many timelines split off, the Heavenly Dao would have to spread itself out thin. The more timelines, the faster the weakening. When the Heavenly Dao lost its power in the split timeline, then the timeline would disappear, pruned. The energy used to maintain and support it would be fed back into the prime and other timelines.
Tianyi knew that timelines would eventually be pruned, but not the process. Now he knew. He didn’t expect that he would be able to exert more power in the split timelines than in the prime timeline.
Now, he needed to find out whether the worldly laws would be easier to comprehend in the split timeline. The waning Heavenly Dao didn’t just mean that the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System would be weakening, but also that the worldly laws would become incomplete. After all, the Heavenly Dao was, in essence, the source of all worldly laws.
He shook his head. Right now, it wasn’t the time to ponder, but to investigate. Tianyi’s target was naturally the Primordial Realm. Only by entering the realm he was most familiar with could he learn how advanced the timeline was.
Tianyi didn’t find the Primordial Realm. Or rather, he found its predecessor. It was only natural. After all, he was the one who transformed the Huang Realm into the Primordial Realm, and reincarnators like himself did not appear in split timelines.
