Only I can traverse countless versions and span eternal time and space!
And the only power that can be wielded in this stagnant space-time of version updates is that influenced by the essence of the Unchanging—that is, the power derived from me.
Do you think you can use my power to kill me?"
As the words were spoken, countless twisted tentacles of a terrifying entity, bearing the sins of thousands of years of demons, dropped in front of Lu Yan, who could even sense the distortion and corruption emanating from it.
Mere mortals would fall directly into decay and corruption at a single glance, turning into unspeakable familial beings.
Yet just as the tentacle was about to touch Lu Yan's forehead, the endless darkness of dusk vanished in an instant.
Within the stagnant space-time, everything was as usual. Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
The glow of dusk shone upon the earth, yet there was only the warm afterglow of the setting sun, devoid of any eeriness or horror.
Lu Yan clapped his hands, admiration filling his eyes.
If Lu Yan hadn't already seen through the truth, he would have been fooled by the imminent threat of life and death and would have chosen to enter the Longevity version.
After all, entering the Longevity version still held hope for survival, whereas facing that terrifying entity formed from the sins of demons would lead only to death, prompting anyone to gamble on the Longevity version.
His gaze passed over the version update interface showing three Longevity version options, yet Lu Yan was not worried at all.
"This time, your version update is too hasty, such an urgent approach is unlike your style.
Why don't I guess why you are in such a hurry?"
On the version update interface, a blurry light began to float over the first option, and there seemed to be changes occurring.
"As early as the Xianxia version and Urban version I experienced, I interfered with the Celestial Dao of versions, triggering the version change value.
The Xianxia version's order was stable, and a mere 1% version change value attracted the attention of the Xianxia Celestial Dao, leading to the appearance of the infinite, ghost, and cyber three difficult options in the subsequent version update, causing me quite some trouble.
And the Urban version even replaced the Celestial Dao with a 100% change value, directly resulting in the deadlock of Ascension, Demon, and Longevity versions, which led me into your trap.
The drastic changes of each version made it incredibly difficult for me to choose in the subsequent version updates.
It seems to be a balance mechanism—the more intense the interference with world versions, the more easily this feedback mechanism is triggered, resulting in difficult options in the next three versions I undergo.
So I am wondering, is the interference from the Longevity version stronger, or is the balance mechanism of version updates more powerful?"
The floating light continued to expand, eventually spreading across the entire first option, replacing the Longevity version option, and a new string of text appeared in Lu Yan's vision.
[Ghost Version: My name is Lu Yan, and by the time you read this, I am already dead.]
Ghost Version! One of the difficult versions once witnessed by Lu Yan.
At that time, for Lu Yan, the Ghost Version was undoubtedly a death trap.
But at this moment, even entering the Ghost Version and engaging in a battle of wits with those rule-bound ghosts is much safer than choosing the Longevity version.
The change in options also proved Lu Yan's suspicion that the Longevity version exerted such efforts to have Lu Yan swiftly choose a version to avoid delaying the activation of the version update's balance mechanism.
Unfortunately, Lu Yan had already seen through it all.
Lu Yan's smile remained, his eyes passing over the second option where the text began to fluctuate as well.
[Starry Sky Version: In the year 3761 of the Stellar Calendar, the first Martial God traversed the starry sky with his body, marking the beginning of the Starry Era on Blue Star.]
"It seems, after all, that the balance mechanism of version updates is superior."
As the words fell, the text of the third option changed again.
[Xianxia Version: A struggle of the Dao? The immortals crossing between realms? What exactly are the immortals sitting behind the scenes?]
Lu Yan showed a relieved smile.
"This time, I win again!"
