Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves

Chapter 202: The Terrifying and Mysterious Hidden Sect?


If Shen Yu hadn't synchronized the power of an Earth Immortal from Cultivator Shen Yu, he might not have been able to detect it.

In this Parallel Universe, hidden behind the not-insignificant Primordial Energy, there exists a trace of extremely faint, almost undetectable but undeniably real, high-quality Extraordinary Power.

Extraordinary Power does, in fact, have differences in Level.

Divine Power and Magic Power are the most typical comparison.

Even Spiritual Energy comes in different qualities and yields different effects.

And now, these traces of hidden, high-quality Extraordinary Power, in Shen Yu's cognition, are even mightier than the strongest Spiritual Energy in the Yellow One World.

If they were truly compared—

It would seem as if it's more like the Mana of a True Immortal.

But it must be noted that Mana at the True Immortal Level, even in the Immortal Cultivation World, is not something that can easily arise naturally; rather, it is power gradually condensed by a powerful Extraordinary being through successive transformations in his lifetime.

To compare, it's akin to the difference between naturally occurring radioactive material and man-made nuclear weapons.

Even if they share the same origin, their qualities are vastly different.

"Such power shouldn't appear in a world of this Level." Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, a host of speculations flitting through his mind.

Is this change brought by the meteorite monster?

Or has this power once existed in this world?

Truthfully, although Human Civilization has only developed the near-modern Parallel Universe series, and the Great Ming Parallel Universe series, the differences between just these two samples are already enough for experts to propose numerous hypotheses and lay out tangible possibilities.

For instance, the striking association between Extraordinary Level and "historical era" itself is simply unbelievable.

Based on current exploration of these different Parallel Universes, all signs suggest that a world's Extraordinary Level is fixed.

There isn't such a thing as being powerful in the past, only to gradually fade with development.

This is evident from the ancient traces that have been excavated.

The history of the Magicless World is equally void of magic.

And at this moment, it's more accurate to say that the Extraordinary Power Level is connected to the timing of the meteorite monster's appearance, rather than tied to the historical stage.

In the Magicless World, the meteorite monster chose to appear during the near-modern era.

Whereas in worlds of great Extraordinary Power, it emerges at different historical points.

This is also why Shen Yu could not discover a future world stronger than the near-modern era—clearly, the near-modern age was the final historical node for the meteorite monster's appearance.

Stretching across the natural fate of the whole Parallel Universe, no civilization could develop past the near-modern era.

Because they were all destroyed.

The future world of a Parallel Universe can only be created by an existence like Shen Yu, capable of changing the destiny of civilization's destruction.

And based on this recognition, more and more experts believe that the root of this apocalypse lies in the historical past.

That is, in the distant ancient era.

A stage where Extraordinary Power was especially strong.

As for just how powerful this stage was, no one currently knows.

Shen Yu's Power is not enough for him to explore stronger Parallel Universes.

So all that can be done is step-by-step exploration.

"Record this point first, and then, following procedure, begin the investigation into the basic situation of this world." Shen Yu finally set aside the matter of this high-quality Extraordinary Power for the time being.

Meanwhile, the three hundred people he brought quickly moved on to the next step.

The first step, naturally, is detection.

A sizable number of advanced detection devices were sent out in a dispersed fashion.

And soon, preliminary results were obtained.

To their surprise, the society they observed appeared entirely "normal"!

That's right—no traces of the meteorite monster were found, all civilians were living their normal lives, and even historical nodes became clear with simple detection.

Year Two of the Zhenguan Era.

This year, in the history of the Magicless World, saw several major events.

The two most famous: drought, locust plague, and internal turmoil in the Turkic—Tuli Khan surrendered to the Great Tang.

At the current moment, the Turkic unrest likely hasn't happened yet, but the great drought has already started to become problematic.

But in this world which possesses great Extraordinary Power, even a great drought, even a locust plague, won't result in catastrophes as they did in the original history.

After all, there is ample Primordial Energy, and it benefits more than just humans.

All animals and plants, as well.

Given the population size of this era—even if the fields failed to produce, one could still forage in the wilderness for enough not to starve.

Such is the wealth of a world abundant in resources; the world where Martial Artist Shen Yu lived at first was just like this.

Yet, based on previous experience from the Great Ming World—

Events of significant historical impact will inevitably be altered in some other logical manner.

Even if the processes differ, the results will be the same.

And what result?

The years of great famine—people eat people!

This is without meteorite monsters; but with them, it is easy to imagine that this notorious calamity in history will now surely become a true apocalypse!

"Hidden-type meteorite monsters are a bit tricky." After grasping the general situation, Shen Yu also found himself rather troubled.
