The mountains of corpses, piled up one after another, were a horrifying sight.
But what made the gods uneasy was—
"How is this possible... "
"Has a new round of war between gods and demons swept across the entire world?!"
"...What on earth happened?!"
"..."
They actually saw their own corpses, such as Zeus pierced through with a spear, Odin without a head, and the first Sun Wukong cut in half at the waist...
This is unbelievable!
The fact that the gods and kings of the pantheon, who have lived through countless ages, would die in future wars is something they find hard to accept.
"The top artifact on the [Divine Artifact Ranking] is something we won't discuss for now, but is this scene real or fake?"
Odin looked at his own corpse and said with extreme solemnity.
Standing beside him, Thor frowned and said, "It not only reflects the future, but also the future of individuals."
"What's the meaning?!"
"In the scene I saw, there was an extra view of my own future. Only those who transcend or are special should be able to see these fragments."
In the future vision reflected by the [Artifact Ranking], he saw himself wielding Thor's hammer, blasting a vampire progenitor to smithereens. However, he didn't remember having such an unfamiliar demon king-level progenitor in the vampire realm.
It's really strange—
……
India 119—
"Interesting. Something has changed in the future, or rather, there has been a change in the timeline. I just don't know if it will affect us now."
Shiva showed a hint of interest.
In the future—
He saw that he had been severely injured by a dragon of unknown origin. Although he subsequently killed it, the strange dragon that had managed to injure him, especially the ominous aura emanating from it, piqued his intense interest.
"Past, Present, Future!"
"This scene should be related to the [Blue Emperor] Kanzaki Teru, who may have truly traveled through time."
Brahma pondered.
……
The Underworld
"A demon, a demon unlike any other in this world!"
Sazex muttered to himself.
Clearly, he also saw a lot about himself in the future vision of the [Divine Artifact Ranking].
……
Kyoto——
Hagoromo Gitsune, standing in a courtyard filled with cherry blossoms, looked utterly incredulous.
"Kansaki Teru!!! Why am I following behind him..."
"Where's Seimei?!"
……
Private Kuou Academy——
"Oh dear, it seems my future self is somehow entangled with someone, including the minister and the president!"
Himejima Akeno covered her mouth, revealing a cunning smile.
In the future vision of the [Divine Artifact Ranking], she saw herself, Rias, and Sona all surrounding one person, and the relationship between them and that person was extremely ambiguous.
"Sister..."
Tacheng Cat, however, saw a different scene.
That was how she and her sister, Tajo Kuroka, fought side by side.
……
"It's not just the past; the present and future selves have also missed a large part of cause and effect and time!"
Kanzaki Teru frowned.
He already had a rough idea of who was at the top of the [Divine Artifact Ranking]. It was indeed a bit beyond his expectations, but if it was true, then the [Azure Slaughter Sword] in his hand might be able to remove the word "(prototype)" and become a complete divine artifact of the other shore.
……
After the [Divine Artifact Ranking] finished showing the vision of the future, it disappeared. Then, information about the top-ranked player (Wang Wang) appeared—
……
[Rank 1: ???]
Owner: Kanzaki Teru
[Owner's Race: Human]
[Introduction: A convergence of the past, present, and future selves? (Expand)]
[Ranking Rewards: World Cornerstone]
……
For the first time, an unprecedented first time—
Even the [Dimensional Ranking] cannot concretize the information; all that is known is the origin, which neither the master nor the transcendent understands.
A convergence of the past, present, and future selves—
Some who have transcended seem to have grasped something in a daze, but then they are immediately filled with confusion.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Three Women's Discussion
【Dimensional Gap】—
"Unexpectedly, Hui's previous failure to climb to the other shore turned out to be a blessing in disguise. His self traveled through time, and by chance, his past self appeared and hid in the present, absorbing the power of the future era, thus forming a closed loop. As a result, it was regarded as a kind of artifact by the [Artifact Ranking]. After all, it is an extension of the self in the other shore, and it has three kinds of era power. It is not incomprehensible that it can suppress the [Godslayer] that we jointly created."
Mio concluded happily.
Sei and Ren frowned, seemingly not as optimistic as Mio.
"Saints condense their self within the faith of living beings, I condense my faith within the dreams of living beings, and you condense your self within the authority of the world..."
Lian said, "While Hui condenses and carries himself within time, this is the fastest and strongest way to condense himself, saving tens of thousands of years of accumulation."
Why is the self?
Willpower, intention, soul, spirit, experience, thought, existence... even memory can all be integrated into the self. Some are related to one's own strength, while others are unrelated and are accumulated over the years.
What is self-unity?
It is about bringing together these intangible or tangible things to form a great road that runs through the other side.
The God of the Bible unites himself in the faith of living beings, that is, he carries himself with faith, combines himself with the faith of half the world's living beings, and forges a path to the other shore. Love relies on the dreams of living beings. Kanzaki Teru's way is both similar and completely different.
Thinking of Mio this time, she fell silent for a moment.
She both admired and worried about the path to the other shore that Hui had pioneered on his own.
Hui knew his weaknesses. With less than twenty years of accumulation, less than the time it takes for a dragon seed to fall asleep, his ego was destined to be extremely weak, at least far inferior to the three of them, let alone able to condense himself into a path to heaven.
Therefore, Kanzaki Teru opened up a shortcut.
He risked his life, splitting his complete self and sending it to me in the past, present, and future—
These selves grow over a long period of time, and finally, they are truly united in one fell swoop, forming a self that carries the self in time, and shaping a great road leading to the other shore.
"The self itself is pure. Hui wanted to enhance and perfect himself through the river of time, and then let time carry him, in order to climb the strongest path to the other shore. This was extremely difficult in itself." Saint recalled and pondered, and said, "Only the present self is relatively complete. The past self left behind a lot of things that were not gathered, and the future self has not collected a single piece. Now these selves have taken the power of their respective eras, and it is even more difficult to reunite them."
"Then what?!"
Mio panicked.
Back then, when Kanzaki Hikaru was reconstructing himself in time, he almost perished completely. When he was reconstructing his present self, he was alright, perhaps because the time points were close, so the backlash he suffered was not strong. However, when he went to the past, the unprecedentedly strong backlash from time would have killed Hikaru if Sei and Ren hadn't intervened, let alone the future.
"Hui wanted to free it from the seal before because he wanted to use its immortality and the power of the other shore to face the double time backlash from the past and the future."
Saint's expression was also a bit unpleasant. "But now I seriously doubt whether that guy can really resist the backlash from the past and future, which is almost integrated with that spacetime and time, if he forcibly condenses the self that is located in the past and future and is almost integrated with that spacetime. It is far superior to the previous backlash from time."
She didn't know that.
Not to mention her, even Lian, the strongest person in the world, didn't know. You have to know that the backlash brought by time is something that even someone at her level of the Other Shore Realm wouldn't dare to easily touch.
"Is there really no other way? If all else fails... then... then let Hui stop his advancement!"
"Mio said through gritted teeth."
Compared to whether Kanzaki Hikaru can become the Other Shore, Mio is more worried about his safety. Even if he is a transcendent being for the rest of his life, she has the ability to protect him.
Saint and Love shook their heads.
Hui's will is not so easily changed. If it were, it would have been intervened long ago when he was concentrating himself within time.
"There's no need to despair. There's something that might help him."
"what?!"
Saint and Mio asked in unison.
"The cornerstone of the world—"
Lian took out a source stone containing endless mysteries, its surface covered with various patterns. It was the [Ranking Reward: World Foundation Stone] that Lian received when she won first place on the [Immortal Beauty Ranking]!
—A pillar of the world, capable of supporting the world, capable of containing the world…
