Chapter 722: Doctor of Mist

Hometown?

Wang Qiming felt surprised in his heart.

Could it be that this target with terrifying strength really had some connection to them? Although he had just broadcasted that Li Heng was a citizen of the Multiverse Republic, that was for the sake of protection and did not mean Li Heng was truly their citizen.

Could it be...

A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he thought of some things.

At this moment, Li Heng continued to speak.

"My name is Li Heng, Captain Wang, hello."

"Um, Excellency Li Heng, I have come here this time under orders to protect you. It is just that, judging from the current situation, you do not need any protection, Excellency."

Wang Qiming said with a bitter smile.

"No need, it is just troubling you all."

Li Heng shook his head.

Although it was not his hometown, it was at least similar to his hometown. In fact, if he were willing to deceive himself, it would not be impossible to treat this as his original hometown.

"I see. I have a question; if it is convenient for you, could you disclose it?" Wang Qiming asked.

"Speak freely."

"The hometown you mentioned just now refers to..."

Before Wang Qiming could finish, Li Heng smiled and spoke.

"It seems you have already guessed. That is correct, I do indeed have some connection to your Multiverse Republic, but it is not a deep one. I come from a planet very similar to your past history, with almost identical culture; it might be considered a parallel space-time of yours. It is just that, having been far from my hometown for so long now, I no longer know where my hometown is."

He did not know which side was the origin.

Perhaps, they were origins to each other; that was not impossible.

As expected!

Hearing Li Heng's explanation, Wang Qiming nodded to himself.

"So that is how it is. Then we are all one family. No wonder that doctor had to issue a mission to protect you; it turns out there is such a layer of connection?"

His tone became slightly more enthusiastic and intimate.

"I wonder which parallel space-time you come from? We have been conducting exploration of parallel space-times, encountering countless parallel civilizations with the same history and culture as ours, and by uniting with each other, the Multiverse Republic was formed. Perhaps the space-time of your origin is also within the Multiverse Republic, who knows."

Li Heng smiled and shook his head.

"I appreciate Captain Wang's kindness, but within the infinite parallel space-times explored by the Multiverse Republic, under all branches of possibility, my original hometown does not exist."

He had just pierced through Causality and knew many things.

Wang Qiming was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

The parallel space-times they had currently explored could already be called infinite, or rather, they were truly infinite. Under this terrifying number, there was still no sign of this person's hometown?

Could it be that it was not a relationship of parallel space-time, but rather...

He continued to speak, wanting to reveal to Li Heng some of their exploration results in frontier fields. As a result, the next moment, Li Heng continued to speak, causing the information he wanted to reveal to be swallowed back down.

"You could say that my hometown should still be outside the scope of your exploration; whether in terms of space-time dimensions or Causality narratives, there are no traces of my hometown."

This statement caused some ripples in Wang Qiming's heart.

He was very clear that some powerful cultivation individuals could pierce through the Causality and Fate of other living beings at a glance, reading almost all information belonging to them from it.

But regarding this point, their Republic had long since had countermeasures.

Especially the information he had just wanted to speak out—that exploration regarding the level of Causality narratives—had been heavily encrypted; unless he spoke it out personally, no individual could know it.

However, now this layer of encryption seemed to have been easily cracked. This person seemed to have foreknowledge, bringing up the exploration of the Causality narrative level a step before him?

"Regarding your exploration at this level, I have a suggestion, which is not to be too obsessed. After all, while Causality narratives look profound, they are actually also within the Great Void."

"I will keep your advice in mind, Excellency."

Wang Qiming nodded, putting away any sense of contempt.

"Alright, since the conversation has reached this point, that doctor of yours who issued the mission to you should have arrived as well."

As Li Heng's voice fell.

The surrounding space fell into a state of Absolute stagnation; Wang Qiming before Li Heng, and even the two Emperors Yindian and Cai Bao, were now also stilled, completely pressing the freeze button.

Only Li Heng, due to the protection of Source Power, could still move.

And at this time, a figure appeared silently before Li Heng, still shrouded in mist, unable to be seen clearly, yet one could feel that the person before them was that kind of scholar, a doctor.

"I didn't expect you to have become so strong."

Looking at Li Heng, who could still move within the static field, this Miwu Boshi sighed.

Li Heng was noncommittal; he brought up other topics, and the phantoms of the Infinite and the Shi Dai Chang He appeared on his hands, along with that Mysterious Jade Slip he had obtained at the beginning.

"These things should have something to do with you, right?"

"Number Nine, Number Five, and the data from the original Salvation Plan."

"You truly have a deep connection with us, Li Heng."

Miwu Boshi said calmly.

"Isn't that obvious? After all, the hometown I originated from is truly too similar, too identical to your place here. If I hadn't looked at the river of history and discovered that there was no such person as Li Heng in your history, I would have thought this was my original hometown."

Li Heng said with a smile.

Now that his strength was powerful, and furthermore, he had already revealed some things to Captain Wang Qiming just now, naturally he would not hide anything; he wanted to exchange information even more.

"I know this."

"However, what Captain Wang does not know is that if your hometown is outside the scope of our Republic's exploration, then your hometown most likely does not exist. Of course, there is another possibility, which is that it is not in the Great Void, but that possibility is too infinitesimal."

Miwu Boshi said slowly.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Why? Could it be that the Republic has already explored the entire Great Void?"

"Naturally that is impossible. Apart from those ancient existences who are called Dao Lords and have already passed away, who would dare say they have explored the entire Great Void? But we have explored everything within the Great Void that concerns us; whether it be parallel space-times or upper and lower narrative layers, these places have all been ascertained by us."

"I have a hypothesis here, but don't get angry. That is, I seriously suspect whether your hometown doesn't exist at all, or rather, whether your memories are simply false?"

Miwu Boshi spoke up.

In his eyes, Li Heng's progress was simply too fast. So fast that it was completely unnatural, just like an experiment artificially shaped by someone.

After hearing this, Li Heng's expression was somewhat strange.

How should he put it?

What this doctor said did indeed have a point.

But then again, it was also somewhat ridiculous.

"Doctor, look at what this is."

Li Heng thought for a moment, and Source Power flames manifested in his hand.

"Isn't this just fire?"

"Are you really sure?"

This Miwu Boshi frowned, and he reached out to push the glasses hidden within the mist, "Your Excellency Li Heng, I have already used various means to probe it just now; this is just ordinary fire."

"I don't know what exactly you are trying to express."

He was extremely puzzled in his heart.

He had only just proposed a guess that Li Heng's memories regarding his hometown were false; why did he directly reveal a flame? Was he trying to burn him?

"Are you really sure you have probed it?"

Li Heng continued to press.

"Naturally, and it is absolutely impossible for there to be a mistake."

Miwu Boshi stated definitively.

Li Heng shook his head.

"Then it is a pity, I believe more in my own hypothesis; my hometown truly and certainly exists, it just hasn't been explored by your Multiverse Republic."

Regarding whether his hometown existed or not.

He had long since probed it with Source Power...
