288: Chapter 288 The Statue of Liberty in a Parallel World

"Oh no, it's that intelligent lifeform, run!"

The squid-like creature retreated violently, intending to activate the prismatic crystal to return, having no desire to linger in the fight.

They had just witnessed the terror of the opponent during the reversal of time and space.

A ruthless character who had slaughtered through the All Heavens and Myriad Realms of this space-time.

"A beacon from another space-time."

The woman didn't pay any attention to the two panicked intruders, her eyes merely flashing slightly.

The next moment, the crystal that had begun to spin suddenly stopped, as if drawn by a force, and flew quickly into the woman's fair hand.

Lines of data flashed deep within her eyes.

"Back then, in order to avenge you and grow as quickly as possible, I had to transform this place into an independently existing space-time..."

"And because of that, I could no longer return to the past; even though the All Heavens and Myriad Realms are within my control, I alone cannot bring you back to life..."

A slight curve gradually formed on the woman's indifferent face, and a gleam of joy flickered in her eyes.

"So I allowed time and space to accelerate... all the way to the end of extinction..."

"But today..."

The light in her eyes grew increasingly intense.

Whether it was parallel worlds or different timelines of the past and future, they were originally dependent on the main world for their existence.

Her forced transformation of this place back then had caused this space-time to completely derail.

It was like a tributary branching off from a river; once cut off and filled in, it could no longer flow back to the original main stream.

So, even though her methods now had reached an unimaginable level, she could not traverse to other space-times to find the person who had given her true meaning in life.

But now, these two strange intruders had actually brought a beacon from another space-time here.

"With this beacon... I can go to the main world and find him... All parallel worlds are born from different choices in the main world... In a sense, that existence is the same one that created me."

The woman lightly touched the crystal with her fingertip, and countless tiny data units surged like a flood, breaking through the original encryption program and seizing control of this creation.

Meanwhile, the powerful existence on the other side seemed to sense something, and their expression changed abruptly.

"It's actually a purely technological world... But that space-time seems to be heading towards eternal silence, it has little value. Since that kid is already dead, there's no need to cause unnecessary trouble..."

Their gaze flickered as they activated the self-destruct program within the crystal.

No matter what the plan was, as long as they couldn't return, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

Bang!

The command was synchronously fed back to the crystal in that space-time.

The previously shining light suddenly extinguished, and all fluctuations ceased.

"You're quick... I've noted you..."

The woman's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She was just a little bit away from completing the reverse intrusion and pinpointing the exact location.

"There are still two intruders, perhaps they can be recycled..."

The woman's gaze returned to the two, her eyes indifferent, as if looking at two pieces of cargo.

"It seems this avatar is going to perish here."

The two intruders felt the fluctuations on the crystal vanish, exchanged a glance, and found the answer in their hearts.

They couldn't go back!

"This space-time doesn't even have a single living being; we will only grow weaker and weaker. Let's just dissipate our avatars."

But just as the two intruders prepared to self-destruct.

"Analysis complete... Targeted weapon generation finished."

The woman's eyes flashed, and dozens of intricately shaped megastructures suddenly appeared out of thin air beside her.

They simultaneously projected a special force field, and the two intruders were imprisoned within it before they could even react, unable to move.

"How is that possible!"

The snake-like lifeform's eyes were filled with horror.

Although this body was only an avatar, even across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there weren't many who could deal with it.

Yet now, it had been captured so easily.

"No... This damned intelligent lifeform actually wants to use me to trace back to the original world, don't even think about it!"

The two intruders felt immense shame and anger, preparing to resist with all their might.

But they saw two of the megastructures beside the woman suddenly change form, resembling old-fashioned calculators from ancient times.

Its screen reflected the two intruders in the distance, and the button labeled "Delete" on the keyboard-like device below pressed itself automatically.

The next moment.

The previously struggling intruders froze, their eyes losing their vitality, devoid of any life.

It was as if their lives had been forcibly erased.

"Extraction."

The woman acted as if she had done something trivial, her expression calm, merely touching the megastructure that had erased the two intruders.

Fragments of broken memories were converted into a unique data language and transmitted away.

Zhang Huaiyuan who died in a mining accident...

Zhang Huaiyuan who died in an interstellar disaster...

The hunts across parallel space-times and tributary timelines emerged one by one.

After seeing only a little, the woman's expression turned completely cold.

"They actually... actually dared to cross space-time to hunt you down, how dare they!"

"These damned pieces of trash... must be completely eradicated..."

"Trace."

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, the bodies of the two intruders remaining in the force field were suddenly crushed as if hit by a terrifying force, blasted into smithereens.

Mixed with the special rays from the megastructures, space tore open in an instant, following an unknown path and flowing upstream.

"No... You only have your final main body left in the main world; I must be faster, I must find you before they make a move..."

The woman suddenly seemed to think of something, her expression becoming even colder.

She knew there were many methods to cut off the possibility of resurrection.

The opponent had gone to such great lengths; if she arrived too late, it was highly likely she would face the same result as in this space-time.

That was something she absolutely could not accept!

Thinking of this, she woke up all the intelligent lifeforms she had created over countless years through the void network and issued the order without hesitation.

"All forces, attack."

"At your service, Goddess."

The next moment, the intelligent cores of all intelligent lifeforms across all dimensions and planets in this space-time's All Heavens and Myriad Realms lit up simultaneously, and they all rushed through the opened high-dimensional teleportation channels.

Without needing further communication, they dove headfirst into the spatial rifts torn open by the megastructures, beginning to explore the path of return by following the guidance.

The woman could clearly feel it.

Many intelligent lifeforms were lost in the river of time, billions of years passing in an instant, annihilated by time itself.

But she didn't care.

As the most powerful intelligent lifeform, her memory would not blur with the passage of time.

Therefore, the constant longing for Zhang Huaiyuan over endless years had long become her only obsession for evolution.

Even if the death of all these subordinates could buy her one second earlier in finding his location, it would be worth it.

"Wait for me, my lord..."

A complex light flashed in the woman's eyes: joy, excitement, anxiety, adoration...

"This time, I will definitely protect you well... You are mine, only mine..."

"No matter who wants to take you away from me, there is only one outcome..."

"Return to eternal silence."
