Yun Shou felt as if a storm was raging in his brain.
What does it mean to go to the real present?
What does it mean that I am also in the future?
Indeed, he had already guessed this.
He knows what a nesting doll is.
But... where did you get this information from?
"Even if she read all of Fourteen's memories, she shouldn't know more than I do!"
"She must know something. She knows information that I don't, which is why she concluded that I am still in the future!"
"What additional information did she know!?"
"Is it... that the Dao Lord of the past once existed in the past?"
"So we can conclude that the future Dao Lord, since being chosen by authority, must also be in the future?"
"Or... is it the Dao Lord now?"
"Because of Tang Ming."
Tang Ming is the real name of the Tenth Dao Lord "now".
Balala said slowly, "Shou, you learned in the last simulation how Tang Ming used his authority for the first time after becoming the Dao Lord."
"He has become the master of everything in this present moment..." the message said in a convoluted way, "but for me, currently in the simulator, it should be 'the master of everything in the past moment.'"
"And you didn't understand what that few lines of text in the simulator really meant!"
This woman, who really resonates with you, said it all, enunciating each word clearly: "He was the absolute anchor point in time and space; he made the most of that first opportunity!"
"If you are merely a Dao Lord of Essence, perhaps Tang Ming does exist in the spacetime where your physical body resides, and you would not be detected by him, because that is, after all, the authority of the Life Realm."
"But you are also the future Dao Lord!"
"Even if the simulation of your future authority before you became the Dao Lord could shield Tang Ming, you outside the simulator used the two future powers of 'foreseeing the future' and 'returning to your true self' in that time and space."
"If Tang Ming were here, he would surely have discovered your whereabouts!"
"So, when you first use the simulator or first use your ability to foresee the future, Tang Ming should have known your location."
"He will arrive before you in an instant, and even if he doesn't take away your future power, he will certainly not let you go."
"That's just his personality—direct and domineering. He'll never shrug you off from behind the scenes, nor will he suddenly appear to block your path just when you're about to succeed."
"The moment he notices you is the moment he seeks you out!"
You remain silent, wanting to refute her.
Is it possible that because you have double the authority, you also have double the immunity to that authority, which is why you were able to successfully deceive Tang Ming?
However, before she could even voice the thought, Balala shook her head and denied it, saying, "That's impossible."
You: "...Can you give me some respect? Stop trying to read my mind. Let me finish what I'm saying and have a normal conversation, okay?"
Balala: "Okay."
"At least this time it was okay after you finished speaking."
[Having shown her respect, Balala continued, "Dual authority has the same shielding effect as single authority. Don't ask me why, because I am the Lord of Information."]
You swallowed back the three words "why" that were about to come out of your mouth, thinking to yourself that she still didn't respect you.
"There's another reason—I found Tang Ming's servants and learned about his movements from their memories."
"51 time spans ago, Tang Ming became the current Dao Lord."
"At first, he got along relatively well with the other nine Dao Lords, including the ones from the past. Although there were occasional conflicts, he would suppress us in the blink of an eye."
"I don't think this is called being more harmonious; it's just that you've been beaten into submission."
"Until a dozen or so time spans later, he grew weary that the spacetime that should have been entirely his own was always disrupted by the old laws, and that things that should have happened were always reversed or altered."
"...Then the old days vanished, and we lost 3 billion Dao principles."
[Speaking of which, Balala adds a point of knowledge: Dao Lords can reclaim the Dao Principles they control from other Dao Lords, but they usually don't do so.]
Even the two Dao Lords, Wan Hua and Ming Sheng, who are always at odds, are constantly clashing with each other at a power level of 27 billion.
Instead of sealing each other's Dao principles, they fought each other with the combined power of 24 billion True Immortals in resonance.
At most, they simply refrain from using the other party's principles during arguments, but they still retain those principles within themselves, providing 30 instances of resonance.
[It was during the time when Wan Hua was betrayed and killed by fate that, in a fit of rage, he disregarded everything and used the power of his authority to seal the 3 billion Wan Hua Dao Laws on fate, but they were later released from each other.]
If the skill bar is permanently banned, it's like a large portion of the skill bar disappears out of thin air, which is inconvenient for everyone.
It's like a perfectly healthy person suddenly losing their jumping ability. Even if they don't jump much normally, that's not the same as "being unable to jump."
[After being forced to revert to the "Old Version of the Boundless Void Sea" he created using his authority, he withdrew the Old Dao Principles from all living beings, reducing the then 30 billion era to 27 billion.]
This causes many problems, such as the inability to recall the dead, the inability to rewrite history or reset time, and the fact that everything that has happened is irreversible...
Balala sighed softly.
"After being driven back to his old ways, Tang Ming became even more arrogant and self-centered."
"However, I didn't interact with him much, nor did I interfere in anything, which was a way of avoiding provoking him."
Although those Dao Lords who obstructed the path were targeting Dao Lords eight through twelve, they only truly provoked the Old Days and you.
[Balala had already learned of the problem with the Origin Land through her ability to differentiate powers at the time. Moreover, she was extremely far from the nearest Void Gate and had no intention of going to the Origin Land.]
She advanced to the complete form of a Universe Lord (24 billion) in the boundless void sea, and only came to the Origin Universe after breaking through to the Dao Lord level.
Those Daoist leaders were, in her eyes, "attempted crimes," and did not actually cause her any harm.
[Tang Ming was the same; he replicated all the Dao principles in one time stop, without encountering any obstacles, such as being locked in a small chamber or being chased.]
[The only ones truly facing obstacles to the path are you and the old days!]
