CHAPTER 1034: CHAPTER 984: SISTER LAN LOST, MISTAKENLY ENTERS EMPEROR YING’S TERRITORY

The Time Administration Bureau controls this entire universe, but in reality, the bureau exists in an independent space within the universe.

This space was originally established by the first director of the Time Administration Bureau.

The first director of the bureau was the undisputed strongest in the universe, and the space they created was naturally very concealed.

Even the high-ranking members of the bureau couldn’t find the location of the Time Administration Bureau if they lost their ID card, let alone enter it.

Without being able to determine the exact location of the bureau, how could one even consider causing trouble here?

What a joke!

"It’s not impossible," Dr. Cronos adjusted his glasses with a slight smile, "Have you all forgotten about the Wise World and the Nine Heavens Goddess?"

As soon as these titles were mentioned, everyone’s expressions changed.

There are many rumors within the Time Administration Bureau about these two individuals, but among ordinary employees, they are just subjects for idle chatter.

But it was different for them, having truly witnessed how terrifying these two truly were.

"Are you suggesting... someone on Earth 723 has reached the level of a Time Controller?" a middle-aged man couldn’t help but shiver, "If so, that’s terrible."

"Right now, the director’s whereabouts are unknown, and several elders of the Time Committee have retreated into other worlds for cultivation," another person took a deep breath, "If this is the case, the bureau will definitely face a significant upheaval."

The crowd began to discuss noisily, clearly showing signs of worry and anxiety.

"There’s no need to be so concerned," Dr. Cronos spoke again with a smile, "Firstly, they wouldn’t dare destroy the Time Administration Bureau, because once it collapses, the entire universe would also collapse, and the karmic weight of slaughter would be too great then."

"Exactly." The middle-aged man’s expression relaxed, "Since they are Guardians, they would never disregard countless living beings. Unless they have a way to separate the bureau from the universe, but that’s impossible."

"So we still need to be prepared," Dr. Cronos said calmly, "activate all defense mechanisms to guard against any adversaries. If the situation worsens, we must wait for the elders to return."

Unknown even to the ministers of the six departments, the Time Administration Bureau is currently an "empty city," with top powers absent.

"Is there really no way to contact the director?" The middle-aged man glanced around, "She’s been gone for a long time without sending any message back."

"Maybe she’s already dead out there." Someone sneered, "I think instead of looking for her, the Time Committee should elect a new director."

"Electing a director is no small matter, and there are very few with the director-level power," Dr. Cronos shook his head, "It’s better to find the director as soon as possible. This meeting is over, dismissed."

**

This was Ye Wanlan’s first time freely traversing the universe without relying on any external aids.

Countless starlit clusters floated past her eyes. She knew those were worlds, one by one.

Ye Wanlan turned her head and asked Yan Tingfeng, "Tingting, are you feeling unwell?"

"Xiao Wan protected me very well, I’m not unwell," Yan Tingfeng blinked gently, "However, Xiao Wan is so strong, I can’t fall behind and need to train quickly."

"We have plenty of time ahead." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "I also don’t think being a Time Creator is the pinnacle."

She had a long journey ahead and wouldn’t stop for a momentary view.

Yan Tingfeng was slightly taken aback and then tightened his grip on her hand, smiling, "Yes, we still have a lot of time ahead."

The future is long.

Time passed by unknowingly, and Ye Wanlan eventually stopped.

Yan Tingfeng also stopped, "Xiao Wan, what’s the matter?"

"I think relying solely on my strength is not enough. I cannot sense the exact location of the Time Administration Bureau." Ye Wanlan frowned, "Tingting, let’s first head to Earth No. 9 to find Xiaoqing."

With the combined strength of her and Si Fqing, they would surely be able to find the Time Administration Bureau.

"Alright." Yan Tingfeng nodded, "She must be anxious too, wanting to see you soon, Xiao Wan."

"I’ve lived on Earth No. 9 before, and I left my soul’s aura there," Ye Wanlan said, "Going to Earth No. 9, we won’t lose our direction."

She closed her eyes to sense her soul’s aura.

Seconds later, Ye Wanlan opened her eyes, "Tingting, let’s go this way."

Yan Tingfeng accompanied her to Earth No. 9.

With a specific direction, they wouldn’t wander aimlessly in the universe.

With Ye Wanlan’s current power, teleporting in the universe was effortless.

Soon, they arrived at a water-blue light shadow.

"Appearance-wise, it looks no different from the world we live in," Yan Tingfeng said curiously, smiling slightly, "No wonder Senior Lou said, with so many Earths, it would be troublesome if one got lost."

Hearing this, Ye Wanlan withdrew and walked around the water-blue light shadow.

She... shouldn’t have taken the wrong path, right?

It should be here, no mistake.

She could feel the strong wave of spiritual energy and technology fused together.

Moreover, she wasn’t blocked by the World Barrier.

This meant that this world accepted her, and it could only be Earth No. 9 she had once visited.

After becoming a Time Creator, Ye Wanlan had learned more about the universe.

Time Creators can create universes, which is also why Lan Wanye is eager to kill her to establish the one true origin.

Lan Wanye wanted to create her own universe, where all beings would be born according to her will, without betrayal or bloodshed.

But such life would only be a puppet of one person.

Yet creating a universe was also part of Ye Wanlan’s plans, everything waiting for matters to settle.

Worlds respect each other’s boundaries, and each World’s Barrier automatically repels strengths of other worlds.

This also ensures each world can run normally.

Since she wasn’t rejected, that means she didn’t go the wrong way.

"Tingting, let’s go." Ye Wanlan felt relieved, saying, "This is the world I stayed in during my second life. I have teachers and friends here, they are all good people, and my sister is here too—I haven’t seen them in a long time."

In her second life, she died at twenty-four to save Si Fqing.

She had habitually left many contingencies, but she still died suddenly, unaware of the current situation on the Free Continent.

She missed her companions here and didn’t know how long it had been since her death on Earth No. 9.

Yan Tingfeng always listened to her, nodding with a gentle smile, "Alright."

Ye Wanlan, with her keen senses, noticed Yan Tingfeng’s momentary change of expression, "What’s wrong? Nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Tingfeng paused.

He lifted his hand to press against his brow, and after a moment sighed softly and admitted, "Yes... a little nervous."

His understanding of Si Fqing came entirely from Ye Wanlan and Lou Susu’s accounts.

In Ye Wanlan’s description, her sister was a mischievous little devil since childhood but also very cute.

But according to Lou Susu, this "Nine Heavens Goddess," the Guardian of Earth No. 22, was a violent slaughterer, prone to kill at the drop of a hat, even feared by the Time Administration Bureau.

Upon hearing this, Yan Tingfeng fell into silence.

If all these descriptions were true, he thought the Nine Heavens Goddess might be a split-personality maniac.

Even though Ye Wanlan repeatedly emphasized her sister was the cutest in the world, everyone’s delight, loved by all.

But Yan Tingfeng felt that this journey might not be smooth for him.

His intuition was usually strong and hardly wrong.

"Don’t be nervous." Ye Wanlan reassured him, "My sister is a law-abiding citizen."
