A thought flashed through his mind, and Su Ye appeared directly on the far side of the moon.
Just like the information previously disclosed online, the far side of the moon was covered in dense craters, silently telling the story of how many cosmic disasters it had shielded Blue Star from over billions of years.
In Su Ye's previous understanding, this world had no Gods.
Whether it was the God worshipped by Blue Star's people or Buddha, they were merely imaginary figures created by humans, symbolizing a form of worship—a reverence for a set of behavioral principles.
Now, even after obtaining immense power and returning, Su Ye still did not sense the presence of divine power on Blue Star.
This was a world of dialectical materialism, where all strength came from one's own efforts, not from divine bestowal.
On the far side of the moon, Su Ye's gaze swept across the entire lunar surface like a scanner, leaving no crater unchecked and focusing particularly on anything resembling a structure.
After a full sweep, he found nothing.
Even within the moon.
This satellite, floating outside Blue Star and orbiting alongside it for countless eons while shielding it from innumerable attacks, seemed to be nothing more than a simple solid celestial body, without anything special.
The so-called secret of the metaverse was certainly not here.
Leaving the moon, Su Ye instantly arrived on Mars.
Launching from the moon to Mars was one of the envisioned methods of future interstellar travel because the moon's weaker gravity required less fuel for a spacecraft to escape, thus conserving energy for further travel.
However, Su Ye did not need to consider these issues—he had brought back all his abilities, and with just a thought, he could cross space and appear directly on Mars.
Then came Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn...
Su Ye traveled throughout the entire solar system but ultimately found nothing unusual.
Could it be that the so-called secret of the metaverse was not in the solar system?
Finally, Su Ye turned his gaze toward the blazing sun.
If anything in the solar system could be called unique, it had to be the sun.
So, was the secret hidden within the sun?
Su Ye slowly approached the sun, its intense heat and radiation rushing toward him, but he remained unfazed.
Frankly speaking, with Su Ye's current abilities, he could even enter a black hole, explore it, and leave unscathed.
A mere sun was nothing to him.
As he delved deeper, Su Ye soon passed through to the other side of the sun.
During this journey, he witnessed the sun's intense internal reactions, yet he still had no clues related to the metaverse.
If it wasn't in the solar system, then it had to be outside of it.
In a single day, Su Ye traversed the entire universe, drifting through countless galaxies, witnessing countless beautiful celestial bodies, and even personally observing and immersing himself in the Pillars of Creation.
Yet everything appeared just as Blue Star's humans had observed through their telescopes.
This universe was a vast machine operating in an orderly manner according to certain laws—there were no special secrets, but also no signs of life.
In just one day, Su Ye had almost toured the entire observable universe.
Yet, in this vast universe, there truly was no other civilization-bearing planet apart from Blue Star.
Blue Star, this tiny planet born in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, was actually the only one in the entire universe.
Was the emergence of life in the universe a mere coincidence, or an inevitability?
This question was too vast—so vast that even with Su Ye's current power, he could not provide a definite answer.
All he knew was that since Blue Star had given birth to the universe's only civilization, and he had once been a part of it, he bore the responsibility and duty of protecting it.
This included helping Blue Star's humans leave Earth, venture beyond the solar system, step out of the Milky Way, and explore the broader universe.
It also included safeguarding the secret of the metaverse and fending off the powerful, malevolent forces from the multiverse and fantasy universes that harbored ambitions of seizing the metaverse.
Su Ye believed some of what Old Su had said, but not all of it.
Old Su claimed that Su Ye had been created by him, placed into the metaverse, and later brought back into the Marvel multiverse.
However, Su Ye believed more in the idea that he originally belonged to the metaverse and was only detected by Old Su due to some accidental factor, leading to his being pulled into the Marvel multiverse and becoming a "transmigrator" in that world.
His reasoning was that in the Marvel multiverse, characters like Mai Shiranui and Hinata were all created by his own imagination through the power of the "Girlfriend Card."
These ideas were not Old Su's—he had merely turned what Su Ye imagined into reality within that world.
So, could it be said that the true power Su Ye possessed—the power so formidable that even Old Su feared it—was actually his "imagination"?
Because of this "imagination," he could access more fantasy universes.
And within those fantasy universes, there existed beings so powerful that even Old Su, the OAA of the Marvel multiverse, feared them.
If those entities were to discover the location of the metaverse before Old Su, then his dream of monopolizing the metaverse would be shattered.
So, what Old Su wanted to do now was to leverage the relationship he had established with Su Ye, seize the time advantage before any other powerhouses acted, take control of the metaverse alone, and then use it as a base to expand outward, attack, and conquer all fantasy worlds?
With this realization, Su Ye no longer hurried to search for the metaverse's core or weak points but instead started looking for the connection between the metaverse and the fantasy worlds.
As things stood, Old Su was the OAA of the Marvel multiverse, an entity whose power was absolute in the multiverse. Even though Su Ye had gained the abilities of one of the Five Creation Gods, he still stood no chance against the OAA.
Thus, Su Ye's plan was to travel to other fantasy worlds, obtain the power of true strong beings there, and then return to the Marvel multiverse in an even more powerful state.
At that point, even Old Su, the OAA, would no longer find it easy to use him as a stepping stone to invade the metaverse.
"Which fantasy universe should I start with?"
Su Ye narrowed his eyes in thought, then clapped his hands.
"If I can't decide which universe to start with, I'll draw lots!"
Saying this, he pulled out a Girlfriend Card.
In the Marvel multiverse, this had been transformed by Old Su into an ability-granting card, but now that it was back in the metaverse, it had lost its practical function.
However, Su Ye could still use this card as a sort of dice.
He casually brushed his fingers across the card—whoever appeared first would determine which fantasy universe he would visit.
The first card revealed a rather interesting world.
Pandora—the world of Saint Seiya.
