So let alone protecting the world of "Covering the Sky" on his body, as well as the beings and powerful figures within it, Gai Jiuyou had no confidence in even escaping.
Thinking about events that, while extremely rare, are not necessarily impossible, made Gai Jiuyou's mood even heavier.
Looking at the powerful figure behind him who had been clinging to him like a leech ever since their encounter in this boundless void, Gai Jiuyou finally made up his mind.
Under these circumstances, Gai Jiuyou knew he had to make some sacrifices, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to react when the crisis truly arrived.
Although he himself was willing to take the risk, he dared not let the world of "Covering the Sky" and the countless beings within it accompany him on his adventure.
Gai Jiuyou glanced one last time at the powerful figure who had been clinging to him, then gently shook his head, inwardly calling upon a certain being.
Subsequently, the massive amount of source power that Gai Jiuyou had accumulated over the years began to burn. The amount of source power burned per second was enough to bankrupt some ordinary seventh-level extraordinary experts in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
As a massive amount of source energy burned, under the astonished gaze of that powerful figure, after a barely perceptible flash of light, Gai Jiuyou and the vast, boundless multiverse he carried on his back completely disappeared from his sight.
So surprised was the powerful man that he subconsciously rubbed his eyes with both hands to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
"Interesting, truly interesting. The time required for a vast world to go from normal to birth to normal destruction is one chaos, and I have been wandering in this void for thousands of chaoses. It has been a long time since I have encountered any living beings or things that have aroused such great interest in me."
The powerful figure raised his left hand, looking at the faint gaze that connected his left hand to the distant void, and chuckled.
"My understanding of cause and effect is praised even by my father. If it weren't for that damned bastard who suddenly appeared a few years ago, I might have already mastered the Way of Cause and Effect..."
As if remembering something, the powerful man's face suddenly contorted with rage, looking as if he wanted to devour someone.
"With the causal thread that I quietly planted without your knowledge, you cannot escape my grasp. I want to see what you are up to and what great secret you are hiding in this multiverse."
"What! How is this possible! What exactly happened?!"

Chapter 266 Not Giving Up
The arrogant expression that had been on the powerful man's face just a moment ago was frozen in time, and his pupils dilated in that instant, revealing how shocked he was.
"Impossible! How could this be? According to my understanding of cause and effect, how could the karmic connection I quietly planted between me and that person just now disappear so suddenly? It's impossible!"
"Moreover, I can clearly feel that the cause and effect between him and me exists and has not been severed. It's as if this cause and effect line has been directly cut off by something, making it impossible for me to perceive."
"With my near-Great Luo Dao of cause and effect, in this multiverse, apart from those few places, is there anything or anything that can sever my cause and effect or obscure my perception?"
The powerful figure kept muttering to himself, clearly shocked and even somewhat incredulous at the sudden disappearance of the causal link between himself and Gai Jiuyou.
Because he was very confident that in this multiverse, there were very few beings, whether powerful or not, that could directly sever his causal link without destroying it, merely shielding him from perception.
The powerful figure's expression kept changing, his gaze shifting between light and shadow as he stared at the direction Gai Jiuyou had traveled carrying the world of Shrouding the Heavens, lost in thought.
Previously, Gai Jiuyou was able to suddenly disappear into this void along with the world he carried, far away from the sight and perception of this powerful figure.
It was because Gai Jiuyou had just communicated directly with the spirit of the Time-Space City in his mind, and at the cost of a massive amount of source power, he had the Time-Space City remotely guide him and the Shrouding the Heavens world that he carried.
Guided by the City of Time and Space, Gai Jiuyou and the world he carried, the Shrouding the Heavens, pierced through the endless and distant void, tearing apart an incomparably distant space in an instant.
Upon reaching the outermost edge of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the boundless, extremely violent void power was repelled far away, leaving behind a large, stable expanse of void.
If Gai Jiuyou hadn't carried the vast and boundless multiverse of the Shrouding the Heavens world with him, but had only traveled alone or with a small group of people, returning from the Shrouding the Heavens world to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm...
Even without using the invitation from the Time-Space City, he could still draw its power back.
With his immense strength, after tearing through space, he only needs a few decades, or at most a few hundred years, to return from his original location in the Shrouding the Heavens world to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm.
However, once Gai Jiuyou carried the entire multiverse of the Shrouding the Heavens world on his back, he could only move forward in the void at a very slow pace compared to his normal speed.
He wouldn't even dare to tear through space to travel while carrying the world of Shrouding the Heavens. The endless dimensional space that was peaceful to him and posed no threat whatsoever might not be so for the vast and boundless multiverse of the world of Shrouding the Heavens.
Although the protective capabilities of the Shrouding the Heavens world itself, coupled with Gai Jiuyou's formidable strength, meant that even if Gai Jiuyou carried the Shrouding the Heavens world while traversing dimensional spaces...
The chances of the world being damaged during its journey through the shattered void are extremely small, but even such a small chance is too great for Gai Jiuyou to easily attempt.
After all, if something unexpected happens in such a situation, although it won't cause any loss to Gai Jiuyou himself, he simply cannot accept such an outcome.
The multiverse or the vast world, although possessing the same size as a powerhouse at the eighth level of transcendence, can be considered as life forms on the same level.
However, a normal eighth-level transcendent expert can travel freely in this boundless void without suffering any damage, even if they tear through space to travel a long distance or spend a long time.
However, if it is a vast world or a boundless multiverse, and if the source energy reserves in this world are insufficient, then this world simply cannot tear through space and cross the endless void.
Or, given the extremely limited reserves of source energy in this world, it can only briefly tear through the space of nothingness to travel a distance that is negligible compared to the boundless void.
After being guided by the Time-Space City, Gai Jiuyou was certain that under its protection, he would hardly encounter any accidents while carrying the world of Shrouding the Heavens through the dimensional space.
Moreover, there was an unfamiliar powerful figure following him. In order to avoid any dangers on the long road ahead, he took the world of "Covering the Sky" with him and directly broke through space, traversing an extremely long distance to reach the vicinity of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm.
In a void far away from the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the powerful figure who had been following Gai Jiuyou for some time finally made a decision after staring at the direction Gai Jiuyou was traveling in, which was the location of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm.
His body, which had been stagnant in the boundless void for quite some time, began to move again, rapidly advancing in the direction Gai Jiuyou had previously traveled.
"Hmph! Before you encountered me, and while I was following behind you, we were both heading in this direction without ever changing course. I will continue to head in this direction, and one day I will catch up with you again."
"Let me see what special thing has appeared in this place that was once the most barren and desolate in this multiverse, that allows a powerful being with such cultivation to move steadfastly toward that place, carrying the universe under his control."
"In the end, in order to shake off my pursuit, you even went so far as to use an unknown method to leap directly into the boundless void and disappear into the distance. Although I don't know what method you used, it must be extremely precious. For such a powerful person to go to such lengths, what secrets does this place, which was previously inconspicuous in this multiverse, hold? I'm truly starting to get curious now!"
This powerful figure was originally following closely behind Gai Jiuyou, but it was only out of boredom and a sense of interest that he did this while wandering in this boundless void for too long.
