The teleportation gate constructed by Tokisaki Kurumi brought everyone back to the Nine Treasure Chamber of Commerce.
"I'll leave this side to you all." Tokisaki Kurumi said to the people present,
"The time of return is temporarily unclear. The master's intention is that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should not take sides."
"As long as we don't explicitly take sides, we are targets for both parties to win over. They also hope that we maintain neutrality."
"I understand. Elder Feng also instructed the same." Sword Douluo pondered for a moment before speaking, "You all seem very anxious this time. Is there no problem?"
"The Extreme North seals a first-level god. Although it may not compare to the gods of the same rank in the God Realm during their prime, if the disturbance becomes too big and the God Realm comes down to investigate, it will also be a troublesome matter."
"There are simply too many gods in the God Realm, and with the addition of the five great God Kings..."
"No matter what, we'll take it one step at a time."
"I have a question." Ning Tian raised her hand, her voice carrying doubt.
"Go ahead. I'll answer what I can. You all are intimate people to the master, and there's not much that needs to be hidden."
"Even if something needs to be hidden, it's because your current strength is still insufficient. Knowing these things would only add needless worry."
"What you just said about Haotian Sect's Tang San being a person from a future time period—what does that mean?" Ning Tian pressed.
Literally speaking, he is probably from a parallel world, or he traversed back from some point in the future. I'm more sensitive to time aspects, so I can detect some of it.
"The future..." Sword Douluo's delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly. "Doesn't that mean omniscient and omnipotent?"
"It's not like that." Ning Rongrong spoke up. "To traverse spacetime, one needs the strength of the God King realm. Even for a God King, there's a high probability of failure and perishing along the dao."
"In Tang San's case, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably related to the resonance with the Asura God."
"Resonance?" Ye Lingling was astonished.
"That's right. In that world, Tang San should have already become a god and reached the God King realm, but due to some accident, he fell or encountered a problem."
"But on this side—that is, when we went to the Star Dou Great Forest before—Tang San encountered extreme danger, and the two resonated."
"There's also a special point: the God Realm's intervention caused the probability of the resonance traversal to increase. However, the God Realm probably doesn't know about this matter."
"Asura God King!" Sword Douluo reacted and drew in a sharp breath. "You mean Tang San defeated Spirit Hall, became a god, and is one of the five great God Kings in the God Realm?"
"It's more or less like that. That also means that in the other world, Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue fell."
Given the relationship between Tang San and Spirit Hall, Tang San could become a god.
It would be strange if Spirit Hall didn't perish.
"Then what about us..."
Ning Tian's expression was grave. She was essentially going up against a God King.
"Don't worry too much about these things. Each world is a fork. Tang San being able to become a god in the other world doesn't mean he can in this one."
"Actually, in some timeline, my unreliable master seemed to join some Shrek Academy and then became a trash second-level god leek goddess or something."
"Uh... Rongrong, joined Shrek?"
Becoming a god isn't strange, but joining Shrek is absurd. What was Shrek's initial caliber? They didn't even have mimetic training. Could they recruit the little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
It must be that they were blind in both eyes and heart.
The three exchanged glances, truly unable to imagine that scene.
"Who knows."
"Heh heh, maybe in that timeline, someone even got married and got penetrated."
"You, how do you know about such things?" Sword Douluo's eyelids twitched. Although she didn't quite understand Kurumi's strange and bizarre words, she felt they weren't anything good.
"The Douluo World, and even the God Realm, aren't much in the myriad realms of the heavens."
"When one's strength or some aspect reaches a certain singularity, it's not strange to see events happening in other worlds through specific methods."
"Alright." Tokisaki Kurumi clapped her hands, pulling everyone's thoughts back.
"Parallel worlds are parallel worlds. They have nothing to do with here. At most, it's just Tang San returning to this time point and fusing with this Tang San's memories."
"Don't think too much about it. Maybe he's quite worried about being discovered by the gods of the God Realm!"
"The Asura God King is plotting to discard his divine position and leave the God Realm to ascend to higher levels."
"If Tang San gets exposed, heh heh!"
As she spoke, as if remembering something, Tokisaki Kurumi lightly coughed twice. "In any case, it's fine if you all know a little. Don't spread it casually." "I'm going to make a trip to the Extreme North. If there's anything else you want to ask, wait until your Rongrong comes back, and you can ask her yourselves."
"Bye bye." Tokisaki Kurumi directly stepped into the condensed spacetime teleportation gate, leaving the three with full bellies of doubts staring wide-eyed at each other.
A long time later.
"Elder Sword, about Tang San being a person from the future..." Ning Tian looked up at Sword Douluo.
Sword Douluo pondered for a long while before shaking her head.
"I'll go back and mention it to Feng Zhi. As for today's matters, keep them all rotten in your stomachs. Don't say a word to anyone."
"This involves gods after all. If it gets leaked out, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doesn't have Rongrong's heaven-defying escape ability."
"Curiosity can sometimes kill the cat."
"Sigh..." Sword Douluo patted her forehead, feeling somewhat speechless.
She didn't know if these things were instructed by Rongrong or if this Dark Devilgod Tiger Tokisaki Kurumi had taken it upon herself to say them.
The former was fine, but if it was the latter...
A flash of killing intent passed through Sword Douluo's pupils.
But it quickly dissipated.
It seemed she couldn't beat the other party either.
...
The Extreme North.
"Hm?"
Standing on the snow-covered surface, Tokisaki Kurumi sensed the temperature changes around her.
"Strange energy is diffusing out, permeating the entire Extreme North."
"Century soul beasts are slaughtering each other..."
Although it's only a small range for now, if it continues, the entire continent will become very troublesome.
Chaotic, oppressive... evil.
"Is it the power that came out from that rift?"
White snow gently drifted down from between her fingers.
With a "whoosh," Tokisaki Kurumi disappeared from the spot.
Inside the Snow Empress's palace.
The spacious palace appeared somewhat desolate.
Bing Di paced back and forth, walking around in the grand hall.
Her two green twin tails swayed lightly with each step, her pace sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but her eyes carried a color of anxiety.
Suddenly, Bing Di stopped her steps.
Her peripheral vision glanced toward the back.
"Not bad. Little Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, to actually sense my arrival—worthy of praise."
"Hmph, I don't need you, this little cat raised by humans, to meow meow meow." Bing Di slowly turned around, looking at Tokisaki Kurumi standing not far away. "Where's your master? She didn't come with you?"
"She's still in seclusion. I came first to ask about the situation."
"You?"
Bing Di sighed. "Forget it. Besides causing trouble and leaving a face full of saliva from licking people, what else can you do?"
"Little scorpion, did you eat explosives or something!" Tokisaki Kurumi's gaze was calm. "There's no Xue Di around. Do you think I can devour you clean?"
"That's right, physically devour you." As she said this, Tokisaki Kurumi licked her lips.
