In the multiverse, a silhouette stepped out from another dimension.

    This person was none other than Wang Ping.

    Now, Wang Ping had ascended to a true double-digit existence, and with a mere gesture, he could easily destroy or create the multiverse.

    One must admit, this power left Wang Ping in awe.

    However, recalling the danger he faced during his breakthrough, Wang Ping couldn’t help but feel lingering fear.

    He had almost failed, almost perished completely.

    If it weren’t for the double-digit item: Myriad Daos suddenly infusing him with the experience and tips of someone who had broken through to double digits at the last moment, he surely would not have succeeded and stepped into the realm of true double digits.

    “I thought I could escape his control by playing out of the ordinary… In the end, all my actions were within his calculations, even my advancement to double digits required his help… It’s truly frustrating…”

    Wang Ping sighed.

    By now, Wang Ping had many speculations in his mind, and having reached this point, he could remain calm without falling into despair.

    Next, Wang Ping took a step, instantly crossing an endless distance, returning to the Fantasy World to meet the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.

    “I can no longer see through you at all.”

    The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor exclaimed.

    “Just a minor breakthrough, a slight improvement in strength.”

    Wang Ping chuckled.

    The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor was speechless… You call that a minor breakthrough, a slight improvement in strength? If this is considered minor, then what’s left for others?

    “This item can help you revive your daughter, take it.”

    Subsequently, Wang Ping took out the special item: Proof of the Living, and said.

    The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor was stunned, then his expression turned joyful as he took the item and began examining it.

    Then, he widened his eyes, taking a sharp breath.

    As an Immortal Emperor, his knowledge was vast, and he shouldn’t have been so startled, but the effect of this item was simply too overwhelming, even he couldn’t help but be amazed.

    One could say, using this for reviving a four-digit existence was indeed a huge waste.

    Such a precious thing, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor didn’t dare accept it easily at once.

    “Don’t make me a person who breaks his word. Also, I came to you not only to help you revive your daughter but also for another purpose.”

    Wang Ping smiled and said.

    “I plan to take root in the Upper Realm and create a new double-digit force. The new force being established needs a lot of talent. Therefore, I hope you can join the Transmigrator Chat Group and become an elder of it.”

    “It would be an honor. Whether it’s me or my followers, I believe they’d be proud to join the Transmigrator Chat Group.”

    The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor’s eyes shone brightly, responding without hesitation.

    “Mm.”

    Wang Ping nodded, not surprised by the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor’s choice.

    Though many three-digit beings were proud and wouldn’t easily join a double-digit force, and those double-digit forces wouldn’t accept halfway joiners readily, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor’s case was special… Naturally, he wouldn’t reject Wang Ping, only bringing his entire sect to join.

    Next, after bidding farewell to the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, Wang Ping went to see old friends like those from the Taiyi Emperor Palace, planning to bring some talented individuals into the Transmigrator Chat Group.

    As a double-digit powerhouse, he could easily bring people from the multiverse to the Allheavens Playground.

    Although, after entering Allheavens Playground, one must immediately commence the game.

    The Heavenly Tower game was undoubtedly very dangerous.

    However, Wang Ping was not lacking in money now. Getting a bunch of delay items posed no problem.

    By then, once those people were prepared, they could start the Heavenly Tower game.

    After handling these matters, Wang Ping returned to the Allheavens Playground, brought Alpha to the Upper Layer, and established his double-digit force: the Transmigrator Chat Group.

    Although Alpha wanted Wang Ping to change the name, to something similar to Dust King Palace…

    To this, Wang Ping didn’t have any intention to change its name, liking the Transmigrator Chat Group name more.

    As Wang Ping formally established the double-digit force, the Transmigrator Chat Group in the Upper Layer, the big figures from the Allheavens Playground couldn’t sit still, coming to congratulate him with rich gifts.

    At the Immortal Banquet, Lin Yuanyuan, Chen Yao, Cai Yonglong, Zhang Jun, and other ‘veteran members’ of the Transmigrator Chat Group sat high, feeling somewhat dazed.

    They never expected that in such a short time, Big Bro Wang had already become a double-digit being, one of the strongest in the multiverse.

    And they… rising along with him, became the veteran members of this grand force, was utterly absurd.

    “Being able to join the chat group early and complete missions with Big Bro Wang was truly our luck.”

    Cai Yonglong watched those big figures below looking at them enviously, and felt a peculiar mix of joy and numbness.

    To attend this banquet, the lowest qualification was being a four-digit being, or the offspring of significant figures.

    As a result, those they had no chance of seeing before, could only hear about through legends… were now envying and feeling jealous of them… one couldn’t know what to feel.

    “Heh, luckily, since joining the group, I’ve been bootlicking Big Bro Wang constantly, clinging on desperately… Otherwise, how could there be my today.”

    Qin Tian grinned, feeling a bit light-headed.

    While Cai Yonglong and others sighed with emotion, Wang Ping, after dealing with those double-digit beings, looked at the messenger from the Dust King Palace, Huang Huihui, and nodded at her.

    However, this time, Huang Huihui did not act as carelessly as when she first met Wang Ping but remained serious and showed great respect towards him.

    After all, when they first met, they were on equal footing, so Huang Huihui could speak freely.

    But now, Wang Ping, like her Palace Master, has become a true double-digit existence, and he must be treated with respect.

    “Seeing these juniors really brings back memories…”

    After toasting Wang Ping, Huang Huihui sighed with emotion.

    “Oh? What do you mean?” Wang Ping pretended to be curious.

    “Back in the day, I also clung to a powerful figure to have the chance to become a triple-digit existence. As the saying goes, ‘When one person ascends, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven too.’ Rather than struggling to cultivate on one’s own, investing wisely is the right path.”

    Huang Huihui laughed lightly.

    “Indeed. However, they didn’t really invest in me; I just tend to be sentimental.” Wang Ping shook his head and said, “The ones who truly invested in me were Alpha and my senior.”

    At the end, Wang Ping’s eyes revealed a deep meaning.

    “Alpha, huh? She is indeed quite fortunate.” Huang Huihui chuckled.

    “Lord Wang Ping, the Palace Master asked me to convey one last message to you: go challenge the tower. When you reach the 90th floor, he will answer your questions.”

    After a slight pause, Huang Huihui said seriously and respectfully.

    “I will go to the 90th floor, but not now.”

    Wang Ping replied calmly.

    The chat group has just started and has not yet developed to the scale that a true double-digit force should have. How could he possibly go challenge the tower?

    “I’m just delivering the message; you can do whatever you want.” Huang Huihui said respectfully.

    “Hmm.” Wang Ping nodded and did not continue to discuss this matter with Huang Huihui.

    A few days later, the Immortal Banquet finally ended, and the various powerful factions all left.

    However, although the Immortal Banquet ended, Allheavens Playground remained far from peaceful. The Transmigrator Chat Group was the subject of much discussion by countless creatures, and its reputation spread throughout the multiverse, shocking those who had the qualification to enter Allheavens Playground or those who had been there before.

    In the blink of an eye, a million years passed.

    During this million years, due to the lack of enough members, Wang Ping was never forced to challenge the tower.

    For this reason, he focused on developing the Transmigrator Chat Group.

    Under his full effort, the Transmigrator Chat Group became a true double-digit force, second only to the Dust King Palace created by the senior of the first-generation chat group.

    Under his guidance, whether it was the members who joined the chat group earlier or the promising ones recruited in this million years, they all reached the four-digit or even triple-digit level.

    Followers like Ye Chen and Bai Tianhong, whom he took as disciples, were given special attention and easily became quasi-immortal emperors.

    Some disciples, like Ye Chen and Bai Tianhong, were lucky enough to obtain triple-digit Destiny Imprints, becoming triple-digit existences.

    As for Alpha, there was no need to say more; she was his appointed manager.

    For this, Wang Ping spent a lot to forcibly raise Alpha to the limit of the triple-digit level, along with many special triple-digit items.

    It can be said that Alpha is definitely one of the strongest triple-digit existences, perhaps only comparable to a certain triple-digit in the Dust King Palace.

    This is under the premise that the senior in the first-generation chat group values that triple-digit as much as Wang Ping values Alpha.

    With that, Wang Ping no longer worried about the future of the Transmigrator Chat Group.

    In the Immortal Court, Wang Ping sat on a chair carved from celestial jade, reading a book.

    Alpha skillfully massaged Wang Ping’s shoulders from behind.

    At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly closed his precious celestial book, looked in the direction of the Heavenly Tower, and said: “Alpha, I’ll leave the Transmigrator Chat Group to you. Although you’re a bit slow, with the help of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, I’m not worried about any issues.”

    “Are you leaving?” Alpha’s movements stopped, and she asked with some concern.

    “Hmm, I should have challenged the tower a million years ago, but I delayed it for the Transmigrator Chat Group until now. However, if I keep delaying, that senior might get upset.”

    Wang Ping nodded slightly and said.

    “But more importantly, I also want to solve the mysteries in my heart and reach the top of the Heavenly Tower.”

    “I see.” Alpha remained silent for a moment and did not stop Wang Ping, instead, she said softly, “I understand. I will guard the Transmigrator Chat Group well and await your return. I wish you great success in your endeavors.”

    “Hmm, I will return safely.”

    Wang Ping nodded.

    Then, without saying anything more to Alpha, he quietly vanished.

    Not long after, Wang Ping summoned the double-digits in Allheavens Playground, asking them to accompany him in challenging the tower.

    In response, these double-digits looked at each other in silence.

    “This is not an invitation but a command. Those who have reached the 80th floor and don’t want to die should accompany me to challenge the tower.”

    Wang Ping calmly said as he glanced at the double-digits he had summoned.

    “Although I don’t like to act overbearingly and kill indiscriminately, for my own life, I have to be forceful this time. I hope you understand.”

    Hearing this, several double-digits could only smile wryly.

    They had no choice.

    In the end, Wang Ping successfully found his teammates and began the tower challenge.

    Next, without any unexpected incidents, a series of announcements echoed through the Allheavens Playground, all of which were SSS grade evaluations.

    As for those double-digit players whom Wang Ping dragged into the game, at first they were merely coerced. However, they eventually looked forward to teaming up with Wang Ping to climb the tower.

    Because teaming up with Wang Ping amounted to a guaranteed win.

    Although they were just there to make up the numbers and didn’t even achieve an S-grade evaluation, at least they obtained generous rewards. Eventually, they even received a double-digit special item.

    For a time, these double-digit players who had previously only cleared lower floors in the tower, remembered the deeds of the one from the Dust King Palace.

    That individual also just recruited people to make up the numbers.

    In the end, he too allowed the double-digit players who teamed up with him to gain substantial rewards.

    However, unlike Wang Ping, his methods were too ruthless, and climbing the tower with him wasn’t as ‘gentle’ or easy as it was with Wang Ping.

    Soon after, Wang Ping successfully passed the eighty-ninth floor and reached the ninetieth floor.

    At the ninetieth floor, the other double-digit players were no longer qualified to accompany Wang Ping in climbing the tower. They, having served their purpose as tools, could now withdraw.

    After stepping onto the ninetieth floor, Wang Ping found himself in a pitch-black space.

    In the darkness, there was a patch of white light.

    As Wang Ping looked around, he saw a stone platform made of white jade.

    On the stone platform sat a handsome man in a black robe, enjoying a small drink.

    Wang Ping walked up to the stone platform and observed this seemingly genteel man. His mind was filled with complex emotions, and his eyes flickered.

    “Sit down.”

    The handsome man looked at Wang Ping and warmly said, pouring him a small cup of wine.

    In response, Wang Ping nodded, sat down cross-legged, and naturally took the cup, drinking it in one gulp.

    “I once said that when you arrived here, I would answer your questions.” Wang Chen looked at Wang Ping, a smile playing on his lips. “So, ask me whatever you want to know.”

    “What is the relationship between us?” Wang Ping asked after a moment’s silence.

    “What do you think is the source of anomalies?”

    Wang Chen poured himself another drink, took a gulp, and naturally asked a question in return, instead of answering.

    “Anomalies…”

    Wang Ping pondered and answered.

    “I think anomalies should be the dark side of the Heavenly Tower.”

    “Correct, yet not entirely.”

    Wang Chen nodded, then shook his head.

    “You must be curious how I could interfere with the Heavenly Tower. That’s because I reached an agreement with the Tower’s intelligence. Therefore, I know many secrets,” Wang Chen said deeply and slowly.

    “This multiverse, as understood by the people of Earth, is an endless multiverse. Yet, beyond this endless multiverse, there lies an even greater endless multiverse.”

    “A nesting doll, really,” Wang Ping commented.

    “Indeed, it does seem like a nesting doll, but that’s the truth. The world is too vast. Even double-digits mean nothing in the face of this boundless universe and find it hard to grasp its roots,” Wang Chen chuckled lightly.

    Then, Wang Chen grew serious, his tone heavy. “Within this boundless, boundless, boundless multiverse, there exist dark rules filled with destruction and chaos.”

    “Anomalies are the offspring of this darkness. The Heavenly Tower was created by a terrifying entity to suppress and reclaim these dark rules.”

    “Isn’t the Heavenly Tower related to single-digits? Single-digits are omnipotent; erasing dark rules and anomalies should be easy for them,” Wang Ping frowned.

    “In theory, yes. However, true omnipotence doesn’t exist, just those closer to that realm. The darkness and anomalies are born from their negative emotions. As long as they live, they can’t fully erase these, so all they can do is suppress them,” Wang Chen explained, shaking his head.

    Hearing this, Wang Ping finally understood the origin of the Heavenly Tower.

    “So, saying that climbing to the top of the Heavenly Tower can make you a single-digit is a lie?” Wang Ping frowned again, looking bemused.

    “It’s not a lie. Climbing to the top of the tower indeed offers a chance to become a single-digit. However, only a specific person can achieve this,” Wang Chen looked deeply at Wang Ping.

    “You mean, only I can do it?” Wang Ping looked puzzled, pointing at himself.

    “You are the owner of the Heavenly Tower. If you can resolve your inner conflicts and unify everything within yourself, you have the chance at the hundredth floor to reclaim your Eternal Heart and fully step into that realm,” Wang Chen nodded, speaking shockingly.

    “I’m the owner of the Heavenly Tower? Are you kidding me?” Wang Ping’s expression turned peculiar, suspecting that Wang Chen was talking nonsense.

    “You are indeed the owner of the Heavenly Tower,” Wang Chen confirmed.

    “He erased his own memory and became countless Wang Pings. Your talent is the closest to his essence and your character is the brightest. In other words, as long as you can reach the top of the hundredth floor, you have hope of becoming the Eternal One.”

    “Alright…” Wang Ping frowned in deep thought, not expecting his origin to be so significant.

    However, if he did reach the top of the hundredth floor, would he still be himself?

    This was a question.

    “And what is your position?”

    Wang Ping looked deeply at Wang Chen and said in a serious tone.

    “The original Earth is the center of the infinite, infinite, infinite multiverse, linking endless worlds. It is the birthplace of that being. I can’t enter it, nor can I interfere.”

    Wang Chen was silent for a while and then answered frankly.

    “In other words, if I want to go back and revive my parents who died to save me before I transmigrated, I must make you become the Eternal One.”

    “The Heavenly Tower intelligence, whether it is creating Alpha or cooperating with me, is all to find his reincarnated master.”

    “However, the Heavenly Tower intelligence has many restrictions. It can only slightly interfere with the game mode under the rules and liberate the transmigration permissions of the original Earth. Yet, it can’t overly interfere with the outside world nor cultivate people, so it can only choose to cooperate with me.”

    “It turns out the creator of Alpha is the Heavenly Tower intelligence.”

    Wang Ping received this information and was extremely surprised.

    At the same time, he finally understood the bitter intentions of this senior, Wang Chen.

    It turned out he wanted to go back and revive his parents, truly a devoted child.

    “But even if I reach the ninetieth floor, I still need one more person to start the game, right?”

    Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he spoke.

    “No, the rule of the ninetieth floor is just a facade. In reality, as long as you reach the ninetieth floor, my mission is considered complete. At that time, you can directly reach the hundredth floor.”

    “After all, as long as you can get to this point, everything else will be just a formality for you. From now on, you just need to easily progress to the hundredth floor and try to retrieve your own power.”

    Wang Chen sighed, his mood particularly complex.

    “Alright.”

    Wang Ping nodded.

    “I hope you can successfully return to the eternal state and fulfill my wish.”

    Wang Chen paused for a moment before speaking again.

    This time, he used an honorific.

    Seeing this formidable adversary who plotted across ancient and future times reveal such emotions, Wang Ping felt equally complicated.

    “I will.”

    Wang Ping sighed.

    Then, Wang Ping’s body was enveloped in white light and he left.

    Time is ruthless; in an instant, tens of millions of years have passed.

    Wang Ping had long reached the hundredth floor and encountered the legendary Eternal Heart, trying to merge with it.

    Hard work pays off, Wang Ping truly merged with the Eternal Heart, becoming the new pseudo one-digit entity.

    However, unlike what Wang Chen said, his former self was not a pseudo one-digit, but a true one-digit, a genuine Eternal One.

    Omniscience and omnipotence mean invincibility and eternal loneliness. The world held no secrets for him.

    So, out of boredom, negative emotions emerged.

    Negative emotions are an offshoot of omnipotence and also the power he deliberately split off to make himself imperfect.

    Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to shut himself off.

    Yet, as the split power grew stronger and uncontrollable, he created the Heavenly Tower to suppress it, while splitting himself into countless parts, disappearing from the world.

    And Wang Ping is the reincarnation found by the Heavenly Tower intelligence as the most compatible with the Eternal Heart.

    Now, Wang Ping has merged with the Eternal Heart and become a pseudo one-digit.

    As long as Wang Ping wants, he can reclaim the Heavenly Tower, eliminate the dark filth, retrieve those powers and the countless parts of himself, and all the great power would return to him, making him a true one-digit power.

    However, Wang Ping didn’t plan to do so.

    Wang Ping worried his memories might be overwritten, so he hesitated.

    For this reason, even if he could become a new one-digit at any time, he wouldn’t do so for now.

    Whether a pseudo one-digit or a true one-digit, both are invincible existences, there’s no need to force himself to go further.

    At the same time, even if he truly could become a one-digit without worries, Wang Ping feared becoming the second ‘suicidal person’.

    Next, Wang Ping chastised the Heavenly Tower intelligence, slightly avenging the teasing he had endured in the Heavenly Tower Game.

    Then, he fulfilled his promise, revived Wang Chen’s parents, and sent them back to the original Earth.

    Wang Ping also returned to his initial rented room, staring at the instant noodles he hadn’t finished eating, lost in thought for a long time.

    Finally, he looked at the cigarette pack with a few cigarettes left, chuckled, picked it up, leisurely lit one, and exhaled a comfortable smoke ring.

    Having become the Eternal One, it seemed he could finally leisurely drift through life…
