All of these events were tied to Hao Qi, so the chronological order of time was no longer absolute for him. Furthermore, once the Overlord's Barbaric Ancient World succeeded, even the Final Battlefield would be reduced to nothingness. This was a feat comparable to the creation of the heavens and earth; once completed, the entire Multiverse would be remade and reshaped. Even with an internal universe, it was utterly impossible for the Overlord to achieve this extent of power on his own. The sheer magnitude of the might involved was enough to forge an entirely new Multiverse, and the Overlord could only accomplish this by borrowing the power of Sin.
Do not talk about how there was a future, the Insect Emperor, or the Final Battlefield, and that therefore this Barbaric Ancient World was bound to fail. For an entity at the Overlord's level, there was no such thing as predetermined inevitability. Even if he initiated the Barbaric Ancient World at the very dawn of creation, as long as he lacked the absolute possibility of guaranteed success, the future would continue to evolve. At the same time, heroes of the future would respond to the summons of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao, coming to fight him to the death.
Therefore, even if Hao Qi truly was the greatest savior of this Overlord Battlefield, the Night Emperor dared not guarantee his inevitable success. The probabilities of failure and success each stood at fifty-fifty... No, perhaps the Overlord still held the upper hand…
