Yun Shou's expression stiffened slightly.
If, he meant if.
If those 3 billion old information principles return to him as he returns to the boundless void sea.
So, what mysterious little tricks did the Information Dao Master leave behind?
I imagine they will surely return soon.
According to conspiracy theories, everything the Information Dao Lord did in the end might have been an act, designed to trick him into choosing to inherit the second level of cultivation.
"……never mind."
Yun Shou gently shook his head.
There's no need to scare yourself anymore; he's already in the future.
Five minutes later, Balala from this timeline appeared in front of him.
She didn't look like an old woman; at that moment, her appearance was exactly the kind that appealed to him the most.
The first impression was immediately positive.
Yun Shou nodded in satisfaction. Since she had come to see him in this state, it meant that everything was safe.
Balala frowned: "Is this in your imagined future?"
Yun Shou snapped his fingers.
Using the Return to Truth technique, she appeared before me.
This was their first meeting. One of them probably knew everything through information, while the other only knew some ordinary language descriptions from the simulator.
Yun Shou coughed lightly, unsure of how to begin the conversation.
But the woman opposite him didn't have such concerns; instead, she seemed slightly disappointed. "...As expected, I still have to tell everything myself."
She was referring to the part about being sent to their deaths that wasn't mentioned in the narration.
"Yun Shou, you need to understand one thing: whether it's the me here or the me in your 14th simulator, I've given too much to her, I've given everything!"
"So after you succeed, you must save us. You must retrieve us from different times and spaces. You must ensure our existence and guarantee that we will still be the Information Lords at that time..."
Or perhaps she considered a possibility and slightly changed her mind.
"We must not be weaker than before; we must be uniquely powerful in our own spacetime!"
The girl opposite explained, "Power can be taken away."
"As the Lord of Information, I know how authority needs to be stripped away, and I also know the price that must be paid for stripping away authority!"
Her voice was filled with resentment, unwillingness, and even a hint of bitterness, as well as a touch of relief.
“I could have borne that price. Even if I couldn’t seize your future power, I could have taken away your essential power!”
"After I succeed in seizing power, I may be able to use your essential authority for the first time, making me infinitely powerful and limitlessly powerful!"
"Beneath the essence of infinity, I can make my 'information' permeate the past and present!"
"At that time, my information could even rewrite Tang Ming's consciousness. I could even transcend all past and future, and use the ultimate amount of information to encompass everything!"
Balala sighed softly, "But she ruined it."
"Fortunately, she disrupted things in that way and with that question, otherwise... even if I could seize your essential authority, the moment I return to the 'Boundless Sea of the Present' would be the moment of my complete annihilation."
Balala began to explain.
Seizing power is actually quite simple: make a Dao Lord merge with Heaven and return to the Dao, and then you can use special methods to strip that power from him.
The method of deprivation is not the main issue. Although Balala knows the optimal way to deprive someone of their authority, the real problem is the price to pay.
Excessive use of authority will lead to the return to the Dao and the union with Heaven. When you seize the authority of a Dao Lord, the price you pay is the increase in the progress of the return to the Dao and the union with Heaven that should have been achieved during the most intense use of his authority by that Dao Lord.
It is almost impossible to seize the authority of the Void and the World. When you do seize it, it is equivalent to opening up the boundless sea of the Void like they have, and you will immediately be united with the Heaven and return to the Dao.
However, the price paid for seizing the power of Energy and Matter is the least, because the two of them have never unleashed too much of their power, and can easily bear the cost—provided that the two of them are defeated and brought to the point of returning to the Dao.
Fate, all things, proportions, the past, information, the present... their authority is normally unassailable.
When they first used their authority, although the power they unleashed exceeded the infinite level, they did not align themselves with the heavens and return to the Dao because it was the first time they used it.
But this is the price to pay when you take power from those six!
Yun Shou's ability to predict the future has been used to restore the entire spacetime in his simulated future, so Balala dares not try to take it.
However, Yun Shou's "essential authority" has never been used beyond its limits, which means that Balala in the timeline of the Yun Beast's original form could actually seize it.
Until, in the previous simulation, Balala unleashed information without limit, amplifying the power of authority to a level beyond all concepts!
In that simulation, she unleashed the power of authority far beyond the void, the world, and even the present!
Then, Fourteen, who had been briefly manipulated by her, used the essence of reward and punishment to obliterate Balala in the "super infinitely powerful liberation authority".
Thus, Yun Shou's essential authority also gained an "unlimited" level of use.
To seize his essential authority, one must inevitably merge with Heaven and return to the Dao after successfully seizing it!
In that simulation, she used this method to sever the ambition of Balala in front of Yun Shou's real body.
This prevented her from taking away Yun Shou's essential authority!
Besides erasing the ambition of her "future self," she also erased the greed that the ancient Dao Lord might have harbored in the ancient universe that Fourteen had traveled to!
Yun Shou: "..."
We really have no choice but to try and salvage this situation.
Not only should they get him out of there, but they should also provide him with the best possible treatment afterward, comparable to that of Yun Yi to Yun Shisi!
Of course, Yun Liu will also try to salvage the situation, but he definitely won't be retrieving the demonized version; instead, he'll be retrieving the Yun Liu who was being hunted down back then.
After pondering for a while, Yun Shou's brows furrowed slowly: "However, I still have one question."
"You just said that if you could seize my essential authority, and through the opportunity to use my essential authority for the first time without any cost, you could even use that opportunity to traverse the past and future and surpass everything."
"Why didn't you choose to deceive me in that simulation? She could have taken that chance."
"She might even use her unlimited powers to try and modify the display entries in my simulator to make me feel safe and then inherit my cultivation."
Why did she give this opportunity to me?
"Doesn't she believe you'll go and rescue her?"
