Chapter 976: So It Was You (Part 2)
The two faced off silently.
The atmosphere seemed peaceful, but in reality, it was already at its peak, with dark currents surging, ready to stir up a storm that could engulf Heaven and Earth at any moment.
"I really underestimated you," Lan Wanye suddenly laughed, "You think you're clever, you think you've seen through everything, you believe you're in control of the situation, you think every move you make is right?"
Ye Wanlan remained calm, "Losing temper is not my style."
She is not a deity and cannot foresee future events, so naturally, she cannot plan with flawless precision.
She merely infers possible future occurrences based on past events and clues, preparing accordingly for these possibilities.
Lan Wanye laughed instead of getting angry, "Are you trying to anger me? It won't do you any good, Lou Susu, I'm giving you three minutes to tell your daughter properly what she is truly facing!"
After speaking, she actually sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes.
Hua Yingyue stared at her intently, killing intent filling her eyes, "If it were now, I—"
"Don't be impulsive," Yan Shunhua pressed her shoulder, saying solemnly, "She dares face several of us like this, it must be because she has the ability to single-handedly defeat ten."
"What exactly is she?" Xie Linyuan exhaled, "Tower Master sees much, do you know anything about this?"
Yan Tingfeng gently shook his head, his gaze cold.
No matter who this Lan Wanye is, anyone hostile to Ye Wanlan is his enemy.
Xie Linyuan frowned, "She says she is Ah Lan, Brother He, what do you feel?"
He Jia coldly replied, "I have only Xiao Lan as my sister."
In the crowd, Ye Wanlan was the most composed, nodding with a smile, "Mother, please enlighten me."
Lou Susu massaged her temples, smiling bitterly, "Ah Lan, you should already know of the existence of parallel universes. They are parallel because a timeline encounters a change at a point, leading the world to split into various possible developments, each possibility evolving into a new world."
Ye Wanlan nodded subtly, "I know."
Just like when a person makes choices, different choices will lead to different paths they might walk down in the future.
When choices emerge, several different paths will appear.
"But among countless parallel worlds, there will emerge two completely core-opposing worlds," Lou Susu's gaze was deep, "The Time Administration Bureau assigns numbers to such worlds that are also opposing. These core opposite worlds share the same Heart of Energy and chaos origin; their power waxes and wanes. If one is annihilated, the other acquires the complete origin and will upgrade."
Ye Wanlan's expression changed slightly, "Just like Earth 723 and Earth 273?"
"That's right. Since such worlds exist, then..." Lou Susu paused, her voice very light, "Such situations can also occur in people, albeit rare; it has only occurred once in the Time Administration Bureau's records."
Therefore, upon seeing Lan Wanye, she was extremely shocked.
She only knew 237 Earth's ruler was exceptionally powerful, but she did not know that she and Ye Wanlan were core-opposing individuals.
What to do?
Ye Wanlan thought deeply, "So my soul has split, now having separate consciousness and flesh?"
"No, your souls are both intact," Lou Susu gently shook her head, "Only your origin is identical, and Universe Law acknowledges you are the same person."
Ye Wanlan's eyebrows relaxed, "It's merely Universe Law's acknowledgment; I am just myself, not anyone else."
"But Ah Lan, you have part of your power in her, correspondingly, she also has part of her power in you," Lou Susu's voice was slow, "In her pursuit of complete origin, unique power, she must kill you."
"So—" Ye Wanlan began to smile, "If I kill her, then I will also obtain complete origin, unique power."
Upon hearing this, Lou Susu couldn't help but gasp, "Ah Lan! In terms of level, she is a Time Controller now, and those capable of competing with her in battle are few and far between!"
"Time Betrayer, Time Prisoner, Time Escapee, Time Judge, Time Traveler, Time Traveler, Time Controller..." Ye Wanlan murmured, "The final one, is the Time Creator."
According to Lou Susu, there is only one Time Creator within the entire Time Administration Bureau.
The Time Creator has the ability to open up an entire Universe, creating numerous timelines.
