Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and said:

"Since your purpose is to know where this sword came from, you can only inquire about matters related to this battle, questions beyond this scope will not be answered.

And during our answers, no misleading or concealment is allowed."

"Of course." The intention projection seemed to have no other intentions and agreed immediately.

After reaching a simple agreement, the intention projection continued:

"Back to that question, I want to know how you, young friend, could draw Jiang Zhiwei's Eternal World sword?"

Lu Yan raised the broken sword in his hand.

"Because of this."

"Impossible!" The intention projection emphatically denied it:

"The causal connection between this sword and Jiang Zhiwei is too tight, almost impossible to bring from the Xianxia version to the Apocalypse version.

Even if it was really brought to the Apocalypse version, I would have sensed the thread of causality at the first opportunity, it's impossible to remain unaware all along!"

Lu Yan did not answer but asked in return: "Does this count as your second question?"

The intention projection was speechless for a moment, but still answered: "Yes!"

Lu Yan spread his palm, the broken sword in his hand released supreme sword intent, yet now, having lost the support of divine techniques, began to decay rapidly.

Cracks began to appear on the blade as if it had experienced thousands of years in an instant.

Finally, the broken sword shattered, most of the blade had long since disappeared, leaving only a fragment of iron.

"Because of this."

The intention projection silently watched the fragment of iron left behind after the broken sword shattered.

After being worn down by time, its connection with Jiang Zhiwei was almost weak to nothing, even someone as exceptionally talented as Jiang Zhiwei could not utilize such a faint trace of causality to cross versions and unleash an Eternal World sword.

After a moment of silence, the intention projection's eyes glimmered.

"Is it related to your divine techniques?"

"Yes!"

Lu Yan gave a definite answer.

The intention projection said softly:

"No wonder! No wonder!"

"Supreme Divine Techniques for Creation and Transformation can create from nothing, reverse heaven and earth. Everything in the Yanfu Realms and beyond is under its control, all-knowing, all-capable!"

"First, bring this fragment to the Apocalypse version, at that time you hadn't mastered the Mediation Creation Divine Techniques, so I naturally couldn't sense the causality within.

Once I appeared, you used Creation and Transformation to repair the broken sword, conventional means could only restore it to an ordinary iron, but Creation and Transformation summoned the sword from the past history, and with the restoration of the blade, could carry the causality of Jiang Zhiwei, and strike out the Eternal World sword on his behalf.

Such deep schemes, such exquisite calculations!"

Lu Yan said nothing, knowing that speaking more in front of such an ancient being would only lead to more mistakes.

But being able to narrowly win this round today, indeed, owes a gratitude to the fragment given by Jiang Zhiwei that anchored at the Apocalypse version.

The broken fragment, Dao Golden Core, Supreme Divine Techniques, missing any of the three, victory in this battle would be impossible.

Lu Yan even suspected that Jiang Zhiwei had already foreseen today's outcome back in the Xianxia version, and even his acquisition of Creation and Transformation was within Jiang Zhiwei's expectations.

Back in the Xianxia version, a flicker of doubt passed through Lu Yan's mind again.

"Jiang Zhiwei... could he actually be Zhao Huowang?"

Before Lu Yan could think deeply, the intention projection spoke:

"I already understand the causality within, please ask your question, young friend!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan was mentally invigorated, countless doubts surfaced in his mind, wanting to blurt out, but he swallowed them back.

Faced with such an ancient being, questions were to be asked carefully, rashly bringing up certain questions might expose oneself instead.

Although the agreement prohibited concealing, answering incorrectly, there are countless ways for This World's Only One to bypass the promise.

Relying too much on Longevity Celestial Venerable's answers for matters concerning one's own life could easily fall into an ancient being's trap.

One should absolutely not depend too much on Longevity Celestial Venerable's answers.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yan spoke seriously:

"My first question is, the Apocalypse version isolates other versions, even other This World's Only One find it hard to interfere, how did you descend your intention projection?"

For the first question, Lu Yan was not only seeking clarity but also testing Longevity Celestial Venerable.

Given the calamity that befell the Apocalypse version this time, a similar crisis might also occur in other versions.

Understanding the secrets within might allow for early avoidance.

"It's very simple!"

The intention projection spoke nonchalantly: "All it takes is to cut off a trace of intention projection at the birth of the Apocalypse version and hide it within the realm of the about-to-collapse Longevity version.

After the great version war, when many versions tear apart, this trace of intention projection can descend with the version fragment to the Apocalypse version."

"Impossible!"

Lu Yan's expression changed drastically, filled with disbelief.

He initially thought it was Longevity Celestial Venerable exploiting some loophole in the Apocalypse version, little did he imagine that the layout had started even before the birth of the Apocalypse version.

"Why is it impossible?"

The intention projection's words had a hint of deep meaning and lament.

"For those mastering versions, time dimensions within are merely tools for anchoring themselves.

Only when interfering with other versions is some price paid."

Lu Yan took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

What Longevity Celestial Venerable said was probably true, which also indirectly confirmed why other This World's Only One had not intervened in the Apocalypse version.

Longevity Celestial Venerable knew the secrets on Lu Yan, willing to make a heavy bet, whereas other This World's Only One missed the opportunity and may not be ready to make such a heavy descent like Longevity Celestial Venerable.

"The second question, why are you so intent on having me go to the Longevity version?"

This question, Lu Yan had some answers through Jiang Zhiwei's words and past experiences, but now that he had the opportunity, he still wanted to seek confirmation from Longevity Celestial Venerable.

The intention projection, with eyes about to shatter, gazed at Lu Yan, filled with profound meaning:

"Someone once said, above This World's Only One, there are two paths that have hope to break through the reincarnation of all realms.

Someone treaded half a path only to find the road ahead already blocked.

When I first met you, young friend, I seemed to see the second path from you, but was not sure at the time, leaving a casual piece in the game.

But with this loss, plus Creation and Transformation taken by you, I'm increasingly convinced of the authenticity of the second path."

Longevity Celestial Venerable did not speak clearly, but Lu Yan already understood, the second path spoken of was indeed This World's Only One.

But compared to that, Lu Yan was more curious about who was the one that treaded half a path as mentioned by Longevity Celestial Venerable.

He wanted to ask, but having already prepared the third question, he could only suppress his curiosity.

"The third question."

Lu Yan took a deep breath, and with a solemn expression asked:

"I want to know, how can I swiftly gain the ability to counter This World's Only One?"

The previous two questions were used to inquire his doubts, but the third question Lu Yan wanted to maximize the value to enhance his strength.

But the key issue was, Longevity Celestial Venerable's words were not entirely credible; asking for specific details might hide a pitfall.

Throwing out a broad question, then seeking ideas and inspiration from the answer was Lu Yan's real intent.

Even the intention projection was startled by Lu Yan's audacious question.

After a long pause, hoarse laughter slowly arose.

"The young should not be underestimated! The young should not be underestimated!"

"This World's Only One varies in strength, weaker ones barely control a barren realm, if their position is disregarded, their cultivation may barely reach Divinity Transformation.

Whereas stronger ones have already ascended to the Immortal Realm, plus the empowerment of This World's Only One position, their strength even surpasses most immortals.

To counter This World's Only One, fundamentally, it is about having a sufficiently high position.

Having This World's Only One position, even at Divinity Transformation, carries a chance to slay This World's Only One."

Lu Yan's expression slightly moved; he had previously realized that there was a clear strength disparity among This World's Only One.

The strong like the Main God and Longevity Celestial Venerable control not just one or two versions, while the weak, like the Supreme Will invading the Apocalypse version, could barely withstand an Apocalypse Celestial Dao.

"To achieve This World's Only position, one must fathom the essence of all realms, confirming supreme transcendence.

However, you, young friend, are unique, though you've seen through the essence of all realms, you possess another trait, unable to step into achieving This World's Only position.

Yet within versions, variables abound, achieving This World's Only position doesn't equate to invincibility, there still exist things that suppress This World's Only position in the world."

The intention projection paused, then said word by word:

"For instance, Celestial Dao, Boundary Opening Treasure... All Heavens Divine Court!"
