"The main reason is that your size is too large. If I brought you to the peaceful world, I fear it might scare those people."
"Otherwise, I would bring you along!"
Zhang Chen said, gently stroking the smooth fur of Er Pang and Ao Xue.
"Woof!"
Ao Xue shook her snow-white fur and flashed to the side.
Next, a nest of baby Er Pangs, who had not yet opened their eyes, appeared before them.
Er Pang's genes were too powerful. Even though he combined them with Ao Xue's noble and elegant genes, the puppies still looked very down-to-earth.
Fortunately, the two female wolves perfectly inherited Ao Xue's appearance and Er Pang's robust physique.
The other male puppies... looked exactly like Er Pang.
"Wow, you have puppies! Not bad, Er Pang, such rapid progress!"
Zhang Chen playfully patted Er Pang's thick fur and said.
"Woof!"
Er Pang wagged his tail proudly.
"Many people know that the True God has returned and want to visit you in the City of Ten Thousand Gods. However, they have their own missions and cannot leave, so they can't come for now!"
"Why don't you... stay a bit longer this time, True God, so everyone can have the chance to behold your glorious visage!"
Zhang Wenwen, seeing that Zhang Chen and Er Pang had played to their heart's content, spoke up.
"Indeed, there are still many friends I haven't seen. Coincidentally, there are still monsters that have escaped into parallel worlds that need to be dealt with. We can hunt them down while waiting for them to complete their missions and return triumphantly."
Zhang Chen nodded and agreed.
"That's great! I'll send out a notice right away. They'll be very happy when they know!"
Zhang Wenwen's expression paused, and she began to send messages using her ring.
At this moment, Tang Houde, wearing thick spectacles, ran out of the experimental building, shouting as he ran:
"Sect Leader, Sect Leader, I have made a major discovery regarding parallel worlds! I discovered..."
As soon as he ran out of the main entrance, he suddenly saw Zhang Chen standing there.
He was so startled that his legs went weak, and he fell down the steps.
Although he wasn't seriously injured, he looked quite disheveled.
"Are you alright, Professor Tang!"
Zhang Chen quickly reached out and helped Tang Houde up.
Although the indigenous Tang Houde was the instigator of all transmigrators entering the apocalypse, this Tang Houde had not done anything wrong.
Zhang Chen had great respect for top researchers.
"N-no... it's nothing... Greetings, True God..."
As soon as Tang Houde stood up, he immediately knelt down again.
"Alright, stand up and speak. What did you discover just now?"
Zhang Chen asked.
At this moment, Zhang Wenwen had finished sending the message and came to Zhang Chen's back.
"It's like this: the laboratory's teleportation equipment is missing, causing the teleportation gates to deviate. Many teleportation gates have appeared randomly in other locations of the ultimate apocalypse!"
"Previously, the randomly appearing teleportation gates in the ultimate apocalypse were all within the same space-time continuum. This time, monsters were directly teleported to parallel worlds."
"I've just compiled and analyzed the parallel worlds invaded by monsters, and I've discovered an astonishing event!"
Tang Houde said excitedly.
In fact, Zhang Chen already knew the earlier part of what he said. He just wanted to know what Tang Houde had discovered.
But this fellow was being coy, and Zhang Chen couldn't rush him directly. Given Tang Houde's timid nature, Zhang Chen feared that a slight outburst of anger might scare him to death.
"Hurry up and tell us!"
Zhang Wenwen, sensing Zhang Chen's thoughts, urged him from the side.
"Yes, yes! I discovered that these parallel worlds are not random and chaotic!"
"They all have one common characteristic: that world possesses a certain degree of energy."
"And this energy is very similar to the energy of the Creation and Destruction Meteors, but much weaker."
"Then I consulted many records left by the progress faction regarding meteors. It seems that this meteor, as it fell from a higher dimension to this place, was already incomplete."
"It should have been an aggregate energy stone with multiple abilities, which eventually broke into several pieces and fell into different worlds."
"Just like the Time Meteor, it not only fell into a parallel world but also a part of it fell into this world."
"Similarly, although the main body of the Creation and Destruction Meteors fell into this world, many smaller fragments were scattered in other parallel worlds."
"Those monsters seem to have been attracted by the meteor energy of these parallel worlds, which is why they entered the teleportation gates."
"If we can gather the meteor energy, it might produce immeasurable effects!"
Tang Houde pushed up the glasses on his nose and said excitedly.
"So that's how it is!"
Zhang Chen nodded.
No wonder he felt a strange sensation when he heard the news.
It turned out that the meteor energy within him was telling him to find the scattered fragments.
"That's perfect then. I'll go to the parallel planes to eliminate the monsters and find the energy!"
Zhang Chen said.
"Dad, I want to go too!"
"I'll go with you too. I'll be good and definitely won't cause any trouble!"
Xiao Bai and Mo Ran, still clinging to Zhang Chen, begged with their big, pleading eyes.
"Then... alright, but you have to promise to obey me completely."
"I don't want to cause too much damage to the parallel worlds. Eliminating monsters and finding the meteors, while minimizing damage to the parallel worlds, is our goal. Do you understand?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"We understand! We'll definitely listen to Dad!"
"Hooray, we can go on a mission with Dad!"
Xiao Bai and Mo Ran said excitedly.
"True God... I am busy with the sect's affairs and cannot accompany you..."
Zhang Wenwen said with a look of guilt.
"It's alright. The two of them going with me is enough. Moreover, I'm taking two of your key personnel. The vacated positions will naturally require your handling. Thank you for your hard work!"
Zhang Chen said.
Previously, in the apocalypse, Xiao Bai and Mo Ran held positions. Now that Zhang Chen had taken them away, someone naturally had to fill the remaining work.
Zhang Wenwen was somewhat moved that Zhang Chen could understand her difficulties.
"Farewell, True God!"
As everyone chanted in unison, Zhang Chen, carrying Mo Ran and Xiao Bai, walked into the teleportation gate.
Following the energy fluctuation map of parallel worlds provided by Tang Houde, Zhang Chen arrived at the first parallel world.
This world was filled with tall buildings, and traffic flowed endlessly on the roads.
It was a complete modern metropolis.
The busy crowds on the street looked at Zhang Chen, Xiao Bai, and Mo Ran strangely before hurrying away.
The news was playing in a shop window: The world's richest man, magnate of Stark Industries, Mr. Stark, will attend a press conference tonight...
