บท 290: The path to godhood

"What?!" Alex gasped, flabbergasted. Only eight Lords made it out alive? "That can't be right. Over three billion people transmigrated, practically everyone except the elderly and children. Everything seemed fine before I arrived!"

This was huge! How could she have overlooked such crucial information? If thirty billion people crossed over, wouldn't humanity be extinct?

"Perhaps we're not from the same world," Edgar suggested, a knowing look in his eyes.

"Parallel universes?" Alex breathed, stunned.

"Transmigration is real, so why not parallel universes?" Edgar countered, leaving Alex speechless. He had a point. It was the only logical explanation.

But dwelling on the multiverse wasn't a priority. Alex needed intel on the previous batch of Lords. Or were there even earlier generations?

"Were there other Lords before you?" she pressed, her gaze fixed on Edgar.

"Yes," he confirmed, a hint of solemnity in his voice.
