Chapter 459: The Q&A Resumes
As expected, it was time for another Q&A session.
Ye Cheng began pondering what kind of video he should create this time.
Got it!
Why not use this video to introduce the concept of parallel universes and twin worlds to the people of this world? That way, if anyone ever claimed to be from the "future," there would be a perfectly reasonable explanation they could be from an alternate timeline.
Otherwise, if Keli were truly from the future, the cause and effect relationships wouldn't make sense at all it would be a full blown paradox. But if parallel worlds were used to explain their origins, everything would fit perfectly.
These so called "future arrivals" were actually people from parallel universes. That way, their actions in this world wouldn't cause them to vanish due to changes in "history."
Thinking about it now, setting Keli's origin as being from the future had been a bit too reckless.
Time travel isn't that simple, and if it were truly possible, then every action in the present would alter the future.
It's not something that can be explained in just a few words.
Using parallel worlds as an explanation would be much more reasonable.
The more Ye Cheng thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was the right approach. He decided to use this video to fill the logical gap he had created before.
At the same time, he could introduce a new villain.
This villain wouldn't be as overpowered as the Abyss Sovereign, nor as mindlessly evil as Tang San's Asura God. He needed to be powerful and intelligent, someone with deep insight and a mind ahead of his time.
As he thought about this, Ye Cheng sifted through the novels, TV shows, and movies he had seen in his past life, searching for a fitting character.
Finally, a villain from his childhood memories surfaced in his mind.
"Alright! It'll be you!"
Having decided on the new character, Ye Cheng summoned his system and began crafting the script for this episode's Q&A…
[Q&A Session Begins…]
A familiar voice echoed in everyone's minds, and in an instant, a livestream window appeared before them. People instinctively stopped whatever they were doing and focused on the screen.
This was a personal Q&A session.
And the person appearing in the livestream was someone everyone recognized the future savior, the undisputed number one in the world.
The first ever Divine Ring Master and the founder of the Soul Contract System.
The Lord of White Cloud City Ye Cheng!
[Whoa, this time it's Lord Ye Cheng answering the questions!]
[Yeah! It's really him!]
[I wonder what kind of question he'll get this time?]
[Hehe, I hope it's something about his personal life…]
[You're disgusting! How can you pry into Lord Ye Cheng's privacy? But… if the video insists on showing it, well… we won't be able to avoid watching, right?]
A flood of bullet comments scrolled across the screen.
When people saw that the one answering the question this time was Ye Cheng, they immediately became excited.
After all, personal Q&A sessions always involved questions related to the participant.
So, knowing they had a chance to learn personal details about their idol, these fans couldn't help but get hyped.
In the livestream, Ye Cheng remained calm in the face of the sudden Q&A session.
From the camera angle, he appeared to be working in his office. Upon hearing the question prompt, he simply set down his pen and patiently waited for the question to be revealed.
[As expected of Lord Ye Cheng, completely unfazed.]
[That composure… who else can compare?]
[Aaaah! I can't believe I'm seeing the real Lord Ye Cheng!!!]
[Bro, you're overreacting…]
The bullet comments flew by as viewers freely expressed their thoughts.
At this point, after years of Q&A sessions, people had become much more relaxed about voicing their opinions.
Of course, not everyone was a fan there were a few trolls in the mix. But any insulting comments were immediately drowned out by the overwhelming flood of support, barely making a ripple.
Then, the question finally appeared on the screen.
[Question: In the future, the controversial Moon Worship Cult Leader is related to you in what way?]
Option 1: Closed door disciple.Option 2: Sole adopted son.Option 3: Illegitimate child.Option 4: Son of a sworn enemy.Option 5: Distant cousin.
[Correct Answer: Your strength will be elevated to the Nine Ring Divine Realm!]
[Incorrect Answer: You will lose the artifact Ten Directions Heavenly Tower!]
Ye Cheng read the question and appeared to fall into deep thought.
The audience in the livestream immediately started discussing.
[Moon Worship Cult Leader? Who the heck is that?]
[Another new character we don't know…]
[Yeah, this kind of question is the worst! We have to rely on pure guesses…]
['Controversial'… seems like this Moon Worship Cult Leader is a complicated figure.]
[And looking at these five options, it's clear this person has a deep connection with Lord Ye Cheng. So which one is it?]
[The reward for answering correctly is huge getting promoted straight to the Divine King Realm?!]
[But the penalty is just as severe. If he answers wrong, he loses one of his Divine Artifacts. That's a massive setback!]
[Can he get the right answer?]
The audience eagerly waited for Ye Cheng's response.
Most of them hoped he would answer correctly after all, the stronger he became, the better he could protect them in the future.
A small number, driven by jealousy, wanted him to fail.
And then there were those who outright hated him, secretly wishing for his downfall.
As the timer ticked down, second by second…
Finally, in the last moment, Ye Cheng gave his answer.
"I choose option two!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the livestream fell into a brief silence.
Countless pairs of eyes locked onto him, anxiously awaiting the verdict.
[Answer… Correct!]
[Reward: Strength increased to the Nine Ring Divine Realm!]
In an instant, an overwhelming aura erupted from Ye Cheng's body.
Around him, rings of divine energy appeared seven in total.
But something else was happening an eighth ring was beginning to take shape!
If this ring fully materialized, it would signify his official ascension to the Divine King Realm.
And, as the system's power surged into him, the eighth ring rapidly solidified.
His half step Divine King status finally broke through he was now a full fledged Divine King!
But it didn't stop there.
Beyond the eighth ring, a ninth ring began forming…
Under the system's omnipotent influence, the ninth divine ring fully condensed a thousand meters in size!
Nine terrifying divine rings radiated throughout the heavens!
The entire world felt the weight of his ascension.
Even in the God Realm, the five Divine Kings watching from above were shocked.
Just one reward from the Q&A system had elevated Ye Cheng to the Divine King Realm.
It was utterly inconceivable.
