"Master of 'Light', I think there is some misunderstanding between us. We only need to meet once, and everything will be resolved..."

In the boundless mystery, outside the Bright Kingdom, a Fool's Ship carrying a glowing tentacle monster and a fat worm silently descends into the darkness.

Both of them simultaneously hear "Tang Qi's" words.

Time-Space Travel!

With the help of the next "Time God", the Yog Worm King, it was easily achieved.

Although the worm knows Tang Qi has seen through all relevant rules, the Worm King, worried about the God Deceiver causing trouble, promptly reminds:

"You know all the rules, the most important one: not allowed to change the past."

"Doing that might make you happy, but it's the great worm babies that suffer time backlash, and the 'tsunami' in the time river is terrifying, more so than the River of Destiny."

"I understand."

The smaller Tang Qi, who traversed back to that familiar moment, nods to show understanding.

Holding a ship lamp, he looks from a distance at "himself", who is trying to negotiate with the Lord of Light, attempting to deceive him into coming out.

He chuckles and then speaks a seemingly inexplicable sentence.

"For the 'Tang Qi' of the past, you and I are actually the future, so I can't change the past. I'm just going to do what needs to be done."

"I thought you knew, but it seems you're far from being the next Time God."

Tang Qi scoffs, casually attacking the worm baby.

"Ptooey, you foolish, despicable two-legged monster want to compete with me for the interpretation of 'Time'?"

"Let me tell you, what I mean by the past..."

"Shh"

The worm baby's large head turns red, wanting to argue with Tang Qi.

But just then, Tang Qi suddenly interrupts.

At this moment, to "Tang Qi" and the viewers, the Bright Kingdom appears completely sealed.

The Light Dominator refuses entry to salesman Tang Qi due to grudges from long ago.

However, for the smaller Tang Qi, this seemingly sealed kingdom has another appearance.

The "Eye of Origin" merging completely into Tang Qi's soul, in terms of power, is slightly higher than other Origin God Races.

After all, the owner of this eyeball briefly touched the Eternal Source.

This means its new owner, Tang Qi, also possesses unmatched Insight authority over the boundless mystery.

At this moment, the smaller Tang Qi on the Fool's Ship still follows the past habit of revealing secrets being spied on.

The vast Bright Universe is being completely covered by a "membrane" at this moment.

This membrane is a divine artifact blocking the All-Knowing peeping of salesman Tang Qi at this moment.

An unprecedented divine artifact from outside the boundless mystery.

It lightly covers the Bright Kingdom, but has no effect on the kingdom, merely intercepts all information leaking from within.

Except for Tang Qi traveling from the future, no divine entities can observe the truth within the kingdom.

[Divine Attribute Object: Heavenly Cicada Wing.]

[State: Normal.]

[Information Fragment One: From outside the boundless mystery, part of an anomaly entity's molted limb. This anomaly entity has several titles, such as Nihility Cicada, Hidden Worm, etc.]

[Information Fragment Two: Under specific environments and conditions, its combat power can rival Supreme Divinity. Past records show that in environments favorable to it, Origin God Race cannot pierce the membrane on it, Supreme Deer God's power only burns a wisp of smoke on it, Eternal Day Mad King's roar is treated as harmless noise...]

[Information Fragment Three: Of course, it is suppressed by certain Supreme Divinities, regardless of favorable environments, it cannot resist the eternally whirling "Five-pointed", nor can it escape the maze casually drawn by the Initial Prophet.]

[Information Fragment Four: A large part of its molted "cicada wings" falls into a certain group's hands. That group has decrypted all permissions and can use these cicada wings to the maximum.]

[Information Fragment Five: This layer of cicada wing membrane has multiple "powers", one currently activated is intercepting information. No matter what kind of peeping method is used externally, only the information allowed to leak can be known, the true "secret" is intercepted.]

[Information Fragment Six: It's like an impregnable defense, no invader can bypass it, even rare time-space divine entities cannot.]

...

"Cicada wings?"

"A certain group?"

On the Fool's Ship, Tang Qi and the worm baby simultaneously verify something and then fall silent.

"Fantasy Authority, ineffective."

"Time, ineffective."

Although there was an expectation when shocking information poured out, the result still feels frustrating.

"The good news is you guessed right, a huge secret is hidden within the Bright Kingdom. This kind of divine artifact can deceive even the gaze of 'Supreme Divinity', definitely not something that narcissistic old man Light Dominator can bring out."

"The bad news, we can't get in."

The worm baby remains silent for a few seconds, turning to habitually strike Tang Qi. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But at this time, Tang Qi does not give up.

The tentacle holds a lamp, using its light to continue observing the Bright Kingdom shrouded by "cicada wings".

It has not come to correct mistakes or change the past.

In fact, the past cannot be altered, or it would lead to the collapse of some existences, causing unknown consequences.

Tang Qi positions this small avatar of his as a "secret thief", intending to steal secrets from the past that were never glimpsed at that time.

If successful, he will be able to create a better future.

The irreversible integration of the Eye of Origin into the soul has allowed Tang Qi's position to break free from the Dominator Level.

"In terms of battle power, I'm still far from being able to confront Supreme Divinity, but at least in the power of peering into secrets, I'm already close to reaching the 'Supreme Level'."

"The eyes of those forty-one members of the Origin Divine Race cannot compare to mine."

"No secret can escape my gaze."

"Hoo"

Seemingly to confirm Tang Qi's words, new Information Fragment is generated.

A bit obscure, it fluctuates and leaps, but is still captured and analyzed by Tang Qi.

"Information Fragment X: Target Universe [Bright Kingdom] is enveloped by cicada wings, without any rifts or secret paths for entry, but upon investigation, the Bright Kingdom is found to be interconnected with another world, almost merging into one. Although this world is also shrouded by cicada wings, there exists a tiny slit between the two wings."

"Found it."

Excitement appears in Tang Qi's eyes.

Meanwhile, surprising information continues to emerge for Tang Qi.

"This slit is… the Bright Blood Road!"

...

Outside the Origin Star, in a vast, desolate World Rift, the Fool's Ship crashes in.

The dim ship lamp spills out, facing the vision-filling "Cloud Group", varied in size and weight, composed of countless fragments of dust.

Upon closer inspection, this dust is actually extremely tiny ruby-like particles.

One can easily imagine how ancient this Blood Road is, how many wars and battles took place, how many lifeforms and even divine entities died here, their blood watering this path.

The worm baby accompanying Tang Qi on the ship emits a sighing voice upon seeing this Blood Road, while boastfully introducing:

"Foolish two-legged monster, you, and your body while chastising the Fate Goddess, your other partner the Wisdom Goddess, and… all are destined to dim the stars, destined to ascend to the highest stage."

"But you must remain humble, for such existences were not few before you."

"This Blood Road you see now was created by a great 'Mother'; you don't share the same era as her so you can't know how powerful she was then… When she wielded the Holy Sword, all gods had to bow their heads in respect, and those deceitful objects could only offer blood in prayer for the sword's forgiveness."

"Many ancient gods, including the one governing time, believed that this maiden was most likely to achieve Supreme Divinity."

"Unfortunately, she made another choice, a choice that was bewildering to the ancient gods, quite regrettably."

Although the Yog Worm King spoke somewhat cryptically, Tang Qi still immediately understood.

Light Mother God!

The great mother who nurtured two Dominators, one of the most respected goddesses in boundless mystery.

Even ancient gods of the caliber of "Rotten Father God" or "Primordial Mother" also maintain awe towards the Light Mother God.

At least Tang Qi has never heard of "Rotten," who declares himself the Father of All Spirits, daring to lump the Mother God into his claims, though he hasn't spared the Light Dominator either.

Hmm, quietly taking advantage of the Mother God?

About the choice!

Previously, when Tang Qi accepted that [Light Umbilical Cord], he was already aware, even the Supreme Deer God expressed the same confusion.

The bewilderment of the ancient gods was that the Light Mother God, who should have ascended to "Supreme Divinity," chose instead to nurture two Dominators, dividing authority between her two children.

From the Deer God's sigh back then, it's easy to determine that the Mother God's Supreme Path was interrupted due to nurturing the brothers of Light and Thorns.

Of course, she voluntarily abandoned it.

The internal reason presently remains unknown.

Tang Qi did not dwell on it, he just took a glance at the ancient, desolate Blood Road, and then spoke:

"Let's depart, it's clear the foolish old Light Dominator is up to something, especially concerning the Mother God."

"Now that he's accepted the umbilical cord sent by the past 'me', perhaps it's not just to make me leave, preventing my past self from peering into secrets, but that umbilical cord has other uses for him?"

"Hoo"

As the words fell, the Fool's Ship transformed into a stream of light, silently crashing towards the deepest part of the Blood Road.

During the Origin Black Mud Event, Stanna once led her teacher, the contemporary Saint Sister Teresa, into the Blood Road.

While evading pursuit, she also had to deal with the bizarre dead bodies within the Blood Road, surviving against nine chances of death, her survival thanks to the Mother God's protection, eventually entering the Light Temple.

Those bizarre objects and dark corpses still exist within the Blood Road.

But this time, they didn't even detect the shadow of the "invader".

The powerful Evil Gods within the Dark Universe also could not affect the Fool's Ship in the slightest.

In an instant, the Fool's Ship swept across the starry sky, through the narrow slit, landing on a barren, gray-black desolate land.
