At this moment, in the higher dimension of this world, a crimson helix had already entered into the depths of the group consciousness, heading toward the origin of all lives.

As Fang Xingjian spoke, he had already appeared before the Crown Princess, pulling her into his embrace.

The Crown Princess struggled intensely but was confined by an invisible power. She could only glare at Fang Xingjian and ask, “What are you thinking of doing?” A faint blush appeared on her fair face.

“Your struggle is meaningless. Every Planck time unit on the timeline can give me a set of powers from all the lives in this world. The amount of power I can borrow in each second is an astronomical figure, and this figure is still expanding continuously,” Fang Xingjian said as he looked at the Crown Princess. “The exact amount it can grow to is a number that even I’m unable to calculate.”

Right now, the Crown Princess sensed a majestic power that far surpassed her sensory abilities and imagination wrapping her entire body. Before this tremendous power, even her will seemed to be shivering like a mortal facing the plunging sun.

Faced with this horrifying power, respect and awe rose up uncontrollably in her heart, and the flush on her face deepened.

The Crown Princess possessed powers which far surpassed those of people her age as well as experts of the same level as her. Due to what she had been through, she had an unrivaled admiration toward power as well.

When Fang Xingjian performed the Sattva Sword Technique’s endless and bottomless power, she was deeply infatuated by it.

“Maria, surrender,” Fang Xingjian said. “Right now, as long as I’m willing to do so, defeating you takes only a single thought.”

“Let go of me.” The Crown Princess glared fiercely at Fang Xingjian.

Fang Xingjian shook his head. “If you don’t surrender, all I can do is kill you.”

The Crown Princess’ face turned red again, and she said coldly, “You’re wrapping around my chest too tightly.”

Fang Xingjian was slightly stunned. He looked at the position they were in and said slowly, “Surrender.”

Sensing waves of increasingly majestic powers invading into her body, the Crown Princess’ countenance turned increasingly redder. She said impatiently, “I got it… It’s my loss this time around. Let go of me!”

Fang Xingjian took a look at the Crown Princess, feeling a little puzzled. Then a hint of comprehension suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he let go of the Crown Princess before saying, “You…”

“Shut up!” The Crown Princess interrupted him. Feeling flustered and exasperated, she asked, “Can your Sattva Sword Technique be used after leaving this world?”

“Of course not,” Fang Xingjian said, shaking his head. “I’m borrowing the powers from the countless living creatures on this timeline. These powers can only be used in this world.

“But with my grasp over this world, I can return to this world at any time.”

In the higher dimensional space, the red helix was like an anchor rooting deeply inside. It helped Fang Xingjian to remember the location of this world like a tracking device.

When the Crown Princess heard that, her eyes lit up. It was like she wanted to say something but was a little hesitant.

However, Fang Xingjian said, “Alright, let’s head back. He should have woken up from such major activity.”

Hearing that, the Crown Princess’ countenance changed. “You’re saying…”

At the next moment, the two of them disappeared without a trace amidst a series of shattered void space, leaving behind the old men with electricity and flames looking dazedly at the sky with wide-open mouths.

…

Returning to the Goddess Gorge once again, the entire river seemed as if it had not been through any changes. It was like time had stopped still at that very moment when they left.

However, the Crown Princess sent her martial will scanning across the land, and her countenance changed slightly. “Over two years have already passed?”

“Different worlds circulate at different speeds, so the amount of time passed is different as well,” Fang Xingjian said, throwing a glance at the world under their feet. Then he told the Crown Princess, “You can help the imperial court take over the influences in the south. I’m going to set up the Sattva Sword Technique in this world as well.”

The Crown Princess’ eyes glimmered slightly as she asked, “Doesn’t your Sattva Sword Technique need to link up the past and the future?”

“That’s a temporary method, and it isn’t stable. The cost of linking up parallel worlds is too high,” Fang Xingjian replied. “The most stable and effective method is to enter deep into the high-dimensional space-time, grasp the choices of all consciousness, and truly control the past and the future.”

A short moment later, the Crown Princess returned to a city in the south with a flash.

Ever since Fang Xingjian and the Crown Princess disappeared during that battle, the south and the north had engaged in multiple battles. The north had super high technology weapons while the south had Fang Yuan who was a Great Dao Realm expert. Without Fang Xingjian’s command, the young female android Jiuqian continued staying in the arsenal.

Therefore, after several battles in which a victor was not decided, the north and the south gradually maintained a delicate balance.

Under this situation, the Knight martial arts which Fang Xingjian left behind previously spread out gradually. The powers of ether particles started to spread wider and wider across the entire Middle-earth.

The Crown Princess sensed the changes to the entire Middle-earth and thought, ‘Is this Fang Xingjian’s arrangement? Did he complete the mission for clearing the trial while he was at it or…?’

The Crown Princess came to a study. When Fang Yuan—who was behind the desk—saw her, she immediately went up and greeted the Crown Princess, “Lord!”

Without giving Fang Yuan time to raise questions, the Crown Princess said outright, “Make the arrangements and prepare to surrender to the imperial court.”

When Fang Yuan heard that, her countenance changed, turning extremely pale. During his period of time, her father and herself had committed many acts that they would need to be beheaded for. Surrendering was something she was the most unwilling to do. Being exiled might end up being the best possible scenario for them.

However, she did not dare to go up against the Crown Princess. During the time she had served under the Crown Princess, Fang Yuan deeply understood how terrifying the Crown Princess was. So, she could only clench her teeth and said, “As you command.”

On the other hand, Fang Xingjian arrived before Eunuch Wang and the others and instructed, “After the victory is determined, they will be surrendering. You guys can be in charge of taking over them.”

Not paying any heed to his overjoyed subordinates, Fang Xingjian swayed and turned into a beam of white light, piercing straight toward the sky.

Looking down at the thick layers of clouds under his feet, Fang Xingjian said, “When are you planning to wait till?”

After Fang Xingjian said this, ripples rose up in the space before him like they were taking the form of a man’s figure

Although Fang Xingjian could not see the man’s appearance clearly, Fang Xingjian had a familiar feeling almost at the first instant the latter appeared.

This appearance was of the giant he had seen before—the giant that was formed from countless worlds.

“How should I address you? God? Lord? Creator?” Fang Xingjian asked as he looked at the immaterial figure.

“Someone from the Country of Delusions? No, that’s not right. If you were from there, you’d have been beaten to death a long time ago,” a cold voice rang out in Fang Xingjian’s mind. “A clone? A replica? A homogeneous existence? Or an offspring?”

The other party did not seem to pay attention to what Fang Xingjian said and merely made its own assessments.
