Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1065: Arbitrary for Eternity
Lu Li strolled through the river of time, retracting the dark matter that enveloped him one by one. Due to excessive absorption, his own aura became sinister and eerie, somewhat resembling the demon god's true form that he had seen deep within his soul.

He only used the black mist to suppress the river of time on a whim, and he did not expect that the effect of this thing would be so strong, that it could completely seal off space and time and then erode the world.

As these black mists surged above the river of time, emitting a hissing, corrosive sound, they seemed to be expanding. If Lu Li didn't reclaim them, this world might eventually be completely swallowed up by these strange, pitch-black substances.

Upon discovering this characteristic, Lu Li immediately drew all the black mist back. He then realized that there was more black mist than when he had released it, as if it had grown by absorbing the world and gaining sustenance.

As he descended, his face grew increasingly aged, for he discovered that even his own body could not fully accept these dark substances. Once the quantity became too large and the substance became too concentrated, his body would experience a strong burden and he would have to exert all his strength to cope with it and contain it.

But this might also have hidden benefits for him, just like how he once borrowed the power of the Valkyrie to gain an upgrade. After all, he is the rent collector of the demon god and has a natural adaptability to this kind of power.

Given time to absorb and perfectly integrate the overflowing and growing dark matter into his body, he can achieve further improvement, even reaching a higher level in the ninth-order realm.

Lu Li looked down at the river of time and saw that the world had returned to peace. Most people did not know what had happened, but were surprised that the sky had darkened and then cleared up again after a while.

However, the divine system in the universe was thrown into chaos. The sudden fall of the High Priest and the Omni-King caused panic among the gods, who were unaware of what had happened.

At the same time, they must also quickly discuss how to manage the universe in the future.

Lu Li did not interfere in these matters, because he had neither the energy nor the need to correct everything. Besides, he had already frozen the river of time, and most of the source of the world had come into his hands after this battle. In the mission in the space, the true core had begun to reunite.

This means that spacetime will stabilize in the future, and no new parallel worlds will be created. The timeline of this main path will continue to develop naturally.

Because he ultimately spared the Grand Priest during his youth, there are now seven parallel worlds in the Dragon Ball universe. The original main world was either a world without the Grand Priest and Zeno, or a world where they were killed by an attack from outer space.

Lu Li killed the Grand Priest and the Omni-King at different times, which would create contradictions within the same timeline. However, time has a certain self-correcting ability. Now that everything has returned to the sea, people in the current timeline will gradually feel that the Grand Priest and the Omni-King died unexpectedly a long time ago. People looking back will not feel that the Grand Priest and the Omni-King just died.

The timeline where the young High Priest and the Dragon God are still alive will continue to extend forward as a new parallel world.

Standing above the River of Time, Lu Li gazed at the branch of the parallel world. He discovered that the branch's movement was not instantaneous. At least from his perspective on the scale of development of things within the River of Time, the branch was slowly moving forward.

He was watching the development of that timeline closely, and if the High Priest still intended to go down that path, he might have to change his decision.

But what was both unexpected and reasonable happened: the friendship between the High Priest and the Dragon God did not break down. The two of them actually became the chieftains of their respective races and worked together to create a relatively beautiful world.

Perhaps it was because of Lu Li's intervention that the young high priest, who had escaped death, felt even more strongly that life is the foundation for realizing dreams, and that a life with friends is invaluable.

Lu Li walked above the river of time, eventually arriving above the spacetime he originally belonged to. Because the larger spacetime had been corrected, the deviation between his original spacetime and other spacetimes was actually not significant.

Therefore, after the large-scale spacetime correction, the node that Lu Li temporarily created was also returned to the main channel. In any case, there are no Grand Priests or Omni-Kings in the modern world, and the Grand Priests and Omni-Kings from earlier times disappeared from the universe and have been unified and balanced by time.

However, the damage caused by the Grand Priest and the Omni-King did not disappear during that time. Because the power to correct the convergence of time is limited, eighteen universes did not appear in Lu Li's world.

Perhaps the correction of spacetime was caused by Lu Li. The flames of cause and effect have been burning on Lu Li's body. These flames are different from the chaotic power brought down by the world's will. They are more like some kind of deeper natural rule, which does not allow him to tamper with the world on such a large scale.

Perhaps it is precisely because he bears the great cause and effect that the final result of time and space is based on the world he started from. In other words, the converging power in the river of time will not only make people think that the Grand Priest and the Omni-King perished long ago, but will also gradually give rise to the impression in the hearts of all beings that the person who killed the Grand Priest and the Omni-King was Lu Li.

In this way, the worldviews of the past, present, and future are unified, and there will be no serious bugs. Of course, this doesn't matter for the vast majority of ordinary beings.

In any case, they don't come into contact with the divine realm in their normal lives, let alone the Grand Priest and the Omni-King. After the river of time converges, the true spirits of all beings will become more concentrated, making it easier for people to become stronger, and their lives may also improve.

Lu Li wasn't incapable of bringing other parallel universes into the main path, but he felt it wasn't a good idea to do so. This was because many of the parallel universes created during the battle with the High Priest were generated in a short period of time. Many of these worlds, like the original world of the young High Priest, didn't extend into the past, present, and future in an instant.

Because the differences were generated in a short period of time and had not yet evolved into significant variations, and the world was not yet stable, Lu Li was able to bring them back.

As for those parallel worlds that have existed for a long time, the possibilities have stabilized, and Lu Li has no intention of eliminating those existing possibilities.

As for the Origin of the World, Lu Li has already killed the Grand Priests of the past, present, and future, and has enough Origin of the World to condense the Core of the World. In fact, the Origin of the World in the other parallel worlds only accounts for a very small part.

Lu Li held the world core, which was beginning to take shape, in one hand, feeling the immense power contained within it and marveling at the world's primal power.

The power of the World Core is mysterious and unpredictable, but it is not actually stable. That's why it was broken by the power of the Omni-King to eliminate, which led to the creation of parallel worlds, where people from different points in time and space can travel back and forth.

Because the core of the world was broken after the existence of Zeno, before Zeno did this, time was actually a single line upstream.

It was only after the Omni-King began to eliminate the universe that the river began to branch out. However, during the time it took to travel on the main road, after the Singularity shattered the source of the world, powerful beings could travel freely.

Because this looseness of time has been maintained for many years, allowing the river of time to flow downwards within this world, this characteristic has become a kind of natural rule. Therefore, even though the core of the world has now reassembled, people in the river of time can still travel everywhere.

Lu Li saw that some Supreme Kais, upon learning of the deaths of the Omni-King and the Grand Priest, and feeling that there was something amiss in the time-space correction, wanted to use the Ring of Time to go to the future or the past to investigate.

Lu Li had already walked back to the spacetime above where he was, and Wukong and the others could already see Lu Li's back in the thirteenth universe.

To everyone else, Lu Li stood proudly above the river of time, his back to all living beings, overlooking the passage of time, before drawing his sword. Then, after the battle, Lu Li drew his sword again, and the reversed cause and effect were corrected, the chaotic time was restored to order, and all the spacetime rifts that allowed passage through the river of time were shattered.

People from all timelines seemed to vaguely see a blade of light slashing across the sky, and even the passage of time had to succumb to the power of this blade. All the time-space flow zones on the river of time were flattened and turned into a vast expanse of misty fog.

From this point on, no one will be able to travel freely using a time machine or the Ring of Time, whether in the main river of time or in the other parallel worlds. This world will become more and more solid as it develops, and there will be no more enemies from the future or the past causing chaos and disasters during travel.

This strike will sever all ages!
After doing all this, Lu Li appeared increasingly tired and aged. When he stepped out of the River of Time and returned to the Thirteenth Universe, he looked like a dying old man.

The universe was silent. Even the spectators, watching Lu Li return, were filled with emotion and didn't know what to say.

Aizen stepped forward, holding a jar of Senzu Beans. "Brother Riku, how is it?"

Lu Li took the jar, but didn't eat it. He just waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after resting for a while. Let's keep the magic beans and take them back."

Aizen immediately understood and smiled, knowing that Brother Lu was thinking about going back to resell Senzu Beans. If he still had such thoughts, it meant that there was indeed no major problem.

Arriving at the edge of the universe, Lu Li, supported by Aizen, looked at Remus and said, "Remus, integrate the resources of this universe into other universes. We won't need them anymore."

Remus was still in shock. He couldn't imagine how Lu Li had done all this, but he knew that Lu Li had truly killed all enemies from the past, present, and future with his own power!
Moreover, Lu Li severed all the passages through time and space with a single strike, suppressing the river of time. From then on, no new parallel worlds would be born, nor would there be any chaos caused by time travel.

"Lu Li, are you really alright?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu, you look much older."

"..."

The other Dragon Ball companions also rushed over, concerned about Lu Li's condition, but Lu Li waved them off, saying he was fine.

Tianhuang and Daoyan were still frowning as they looked in the direction where the strange phenomenon in the River of Time and Space disappeared. They probably felt that what they had seen today was too unreal, and that the two pioneers at the peak of the eighth rank did not know how hard they would have to work to catch up.

That's why they're practically friends now; otherwise, if Lu Li wanted to take their spirit seeds, they wouldn't have any power to resist.

"Come with me for a walk some more. I want to visit the Sixth Universe."

Lu Li's body was emaciated, and black substances occasionally leaked from between his teeth when he spoke. This was the result of the interaction between the overload phenomenon and the vitality generated by the Primordial Spirit Seed.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, remembering that the Dragon God had also sealed away a High Priest and two Omni-Kings.

Before long, they arrived at Universe 6. Universe 6 is still deserted. It has never been restored since it was erased by Zeno.

At the center of the universe, invisible to others, Lu Li, with his current level of understanding, can see at a glance a huge vortex, like a spacetime singularity, where the Grand Priest and the Omni-King are sealed.

Lu Li merely raised his hand, which appeared to others to be somewhat shaky like an old man, but when he pointed out, the world changed color, the huge vortex stopped spinning, and the void seal was instantly broken.

The next moment, three figures rushed out quickly, looking around to get a sense of the situation.

The sealing of the Dragon God was far less cruel than when the Grand Priest sealed Him. Those sealed in this way cannot feel the passage of time, and it has only been a little over ten years. For the Grand Priest and the Omni-Kings, this seems to be just a blink of an eye.

The last impression the High Priest had was of him wrestling with the Dragon God, and before he was sealed away, he saw the Dragon God's regretful and nostalgic gaze. But now he was out.

The high priest instinctively felt that the Dragon God had failed, or rather, that those who followed the Dragon God had failed, which was only natural.

He saw several familiar figures in front of him, one of whom was a God of Destruction from his parallel world memories. So he believed that someone had set things right and found a way to release him.

Where are the angels?

The high priest's tone revealed dissatisfaction and a hint of confusion, while the two Omni-Kings were quite calm at the moment, because they had previously found the Dragon God's spinning seal quite amusing.

"High Priest, there is no one here to welcome your return."

Beerus said that when he was in Universe 6, he would think of his brother who was eliminated, and the Omni-King who eliminated Universe 6 was one of the two Omni-Kings beside the Grand Priest.

The high priest sensed something was wrong, frowned, and then looked at the white-haired old man being helped in the group. Only this old man gave him an unsettling aura.

“I seem to remember you... Has it been many years? You used to look very young.”

After a moment's thought, the high priest had the answer in his mind: "Oh, you seem to be a human who fought against another version of me."
