[You meticulously scoured the starry sky spanning countless light-years, unleashing your spiritual power to excavate inch by inch, wandering through secret locations resembling ancient legends and various treacherous cosmic sites.]
It was all for nothing.
Not only did you fail to find a ready-made ancient system, you couldn't even see the ancient principles. You couldn't even create a system by hand based on those principles!
If we can't find the outer stars, then we have no choice but to enter the inner layers.
[But you didn't directly enter the inner continent. With your human size, if you didn't descend, you would need at least one ten-thousandth of your power to survive in the inner layer.]
[But once you enter this universe, all the Dao imprints with different parameters on your body will be stripped away, and you are now in a completely mortal state.]
[Your external device's essence is still 740 quadrillion times larger. After all, the billions of years you actually experience only increased the external device's essence by 100 million times, which is far too little.]
The true value is 3000 trillion, which translates to a comprehensive value of 2.22e32 times.
[It allows you to fight against a sixth-level expert at the hundredth level of the Heavenly Realm with your mortal body, but it's still far from enough to reach even one-tenth of the Dao power.]
Therefore, you need to cultivate a system that conforms to the internal parameters of this universe, and only after reaching a certain extraordinary level can you easily enter the inner continent.
Otherwise, they must keep descending; if they fail to keep up, they will be crushed by the environment inside.
As for why not move all the inner continents out of the higher-dimensional universe...
One reason is that the Dao-based beings inside haven't offended you or done anything wrong. Once they leave the universe, they'll evaporate on the spot due to the different parameters. Another reason is that it might directly cause the ancient heritage inside to self-destruct, leaving you with nothing.
[In the outer starry sky of a higher-dimensional universe, you can randomly record a local system, then return to the outside of the universe and have a True Immortal protector use the power of the Dao Fruit to unfold a high-speed time domain.]
[Then you cultivated rapidly in that high-speed time flow domain, advancing to the sixth realm in about three days in the boundless void sea, replacing the old first realm.]
In this way, you will be able to enter the inner continent safely under normal circumstances.
The limitations within the inner continent are immense; what would be a difference of tens of billions of times elsewhere is only ten times or even less there.
[You, at the sixth level of the first realm, are equivalent to an extremely powerful Resonance True Immortal. Even if you reach that level, you'll only be a relatively strong man, the kind who can't even withstand a helicopter's attack.]
Even if you descend more than 300 times, stacking your cultivation of 30,000 Heavens to the outside world, giving you super power that completely surpasses a True Immortal of the 27 billion level of resonance, a power that only a Cosmic Lord of the 10 billion level can match—
[Within the inner continent, it can only destroy one wooden building with a single blow. If you replace the wooden building with a modern 30-story residential building, it won't be destroyed.]
After you calibrate your location, you will appear in the wilderness. Activate future foresight while exploring the present.
"If I can't find it by myself, then I'll try to become the king of this world and use all the power of the world to search for it."
Half a day later, you stopped in your tracks, facing a stone wall three meters high.
"Hmm...this city lord's mansion is a bit difficult to enter."
[Your physique is currently only slightly above the mortal level; in the local supernatural system, you'd be at the Nascent Soul stage. While you could take on dozens at once, breaking into the City Lord's Mansion to search for any old clues would be quite difficult.]
"Speaking of which, if there really is any clue, only the Dao Lord of the Future System could find it, right?"
Yun Shou stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"Assuming this was indeed left behind by the former Dao Lord, any other True Immortal who enters will be suppressed to an extremely weak state, and they will not be able to explore every corner of the entire continent even if they spend their entire lives doing so."
"But I, who possess the power of the future, can investigate countless clues countless times and deduce the truth from the mountains and seas of details."
"...But all of this depends on one premise: that the higher-dimensional universe is indeed a contingency plan left behind by the ancient Dao Lord."
Yun Shou even wondered: Could it be that the former Dao Lord never actually died, but simply existed in the past, wandering around aimlessly?
Just like the ending of his simulation in eleven, the Lord of Fate said the line, "He is not here, nor is He."
One of them, He, may refer to the "Essential Dao Lord" who has stripped away the essence of Baihe.
And the other "He"... is the "Present Lord of the Dao"!
After all, the world in the simulator belongs to the future, and in the future time and space, the Dao Lord of the "present" cannot exist, which is very reasonable!
"In the past, we lived in the past; now we live in the present."
"And me... is the future what's in the simulator, or is my current self already in the future?"
He's gotten a little confused.
"Even if one could use precognition to infiltrate the city lord's mansion through exhaustive search, or even break into the treasure vault to investigate whether any ancient seals or similar artifacts were left behind... that would be far too exhausting."
[You're not much stronger than an ordinary person right now, so nothing you want to do is easy. You might have to spend a lot of time in the foresight to infiltrate the city lord's mansion. But if you possessed the power of a true immortal, capable of taking ten zhang in a single step, you could easily take your target.]
You shook your head: "Let's descend after all."
Whether it's to have enough power to explore all places now, or to later use the emperor to command the feudal lords and mobilize the entire world's power to find clues for you, the Descent will ultimately be used.
[In the inner continents where strength decreases exponentially, each of your descents will likely only increase your power by a few percent. You'd need to use up half of your maximum descent count before you could truly dominate the entire world.]
