Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

[Quick Victory] The trial required completion within 4.8 hours, but Chu Yang finished it in less than an hour, and incidentally slaughtered the entire Silent Town.

He did not bring the [Red and White River Water] into the safe zone, but instead activated the small world first.

There are currently 3.5 hours left until the deadline for completing the trial, which would be 35 hours if the time were multiplied by 10.

He would use this time to copy sword techniques and to test the strength of the god again.

Before all that, he wanted to see what exactly this so-called backlash from Heaven was.

Having mastered the [Cause and Effect Alternation], Chu Yang was unwilling to completely give up his ability to manipulate the causal lines.

Of course, he decided to start with the smallest causal line.

Chu Yang summoned Qian Yue, who is still the strongest player in the team.

Chu Yang pointed to a large tree beside the training ground and said to Qian Yue, "Qian Yue, throw a pebble at that tree, but don't throw it too hard."

"Yes, Master."

"Whoosh~"

Qianyue threw out a pebble.

The moment Qian Yue threw the pebble, she knew it would land three meters above the ground at the junction of the seventh main branch from the bottom and the trunk.

This is not because Qian Yue can also foresee the future, but because her control over her own power has reached a very subtle level.

She can even control her skill "One Style" to the point that a single slash can cut off only a hair of her opponent's head without harming them in the slightest.

However, to Qian Yue's surprise, the pebble did not land where Qian Yue expected it to be, and it didn't even touch the big tree.

Because the moment Qian Yue threw the pebble, a gust of wind arose within the small world.

Driven by the gust of wind, the pebble was thrown back into the air and fell back to where Qianyue had picked it up.

This gust of wind is strange; it comes quickly and goes even faster.

Even Azi, the master of the small world, did not know how this gust of wind was generated.

Only Chu Yang, not far away, watched the pebble fall back to Qian Yue's feet—

Sweating profusely!

Because, in the realm of [causal succession].

Chu Yang felt a power he had never seen before, which was indescribable and irresistible.

This power is countless times more terrifying than any god!

If Chu Yang, who had seen the god, still thought about defeating the god.

Despite sensing this power, Chu Yang could not muster the slightest thought of rebellion.

At the same time, all of Chu Yang's attribute values ​​on the panel decreased by 1 point.

This is the backlash from Heaven.

Reducing all attributes by 1 doesn't seem that serious.

However, it should be noted that this was merely Chu Yang's punishment for changing the landing point of a lifeless pebble that had no impact on the world.

What if he altered the causal chain of a living person?

What kind of backlash from Heaven will they suffer?

Having experienced the immense terror just now, Chu Yang immediately dismissed the idea.

"Forget it, I'll try to avoid touching these causal threads in the future..."

"Or perhaps I should test it again after my understanding of the [Cause and Effect Heavenly Dao] has deepened..."

After leaving the training ground, Chu Yang, Qian Yue, and Hua Lin headed together towards the [Extreme Battle Room].

On the way, Chu Yang saw Tong Bao.

Within the gate domain, Tongbao can still use the [Flesh and Blood Furnace].

"Human... Master, the second piece of red armor bronze horse will be ready soon."

"Hmm, not bad."

Chu Yang was quite satisfied with the red-armored flesh-and-blood monster created by Tongbao, in addition to the [armor transformation] and [flight] abilities that Hua Lin had already demonstrated.

This red armor also has a small-area crowd control effect and an area-of-effect damage effect.

However, because Hana Rin herself is too strong, she rarely uses these two abilities in actual combat.

Chu Yang had Tong Bao continue making red armor because he had the idea of ​​arming an indigenous door-pushing army.

With this device, Chu Yang believed that the success rate of these indigenous gatekeepers in passing through the gate domain would increase significantly.

The thought of assembling an absolutely loyal army of Red Armored Gatekeepers, each capable of flight, filled Chu Yang with anticipation.

Besides the [Flesh Furnace], another usable permanent building is the [Rune Lab].

According to Azi's report, they are also close to completing the blueprint for their third rune technology artifact.

Upon arriving at the [Extreme Battle Room], Chu Yang and his two companions each selected a battle chamber.

Please select your opponent.

【God Number One!】

"God Number 1" is the name Chu Yang gave to this god.

[Battle countdown begins...]

【5...】

【4...】

【3...】

【2...】

When the countdown to the start of the battle reached 2, Chu Yang activated the spirit behind him [Your Exclusive BGM - Red] and the domain [Causal Alternation - Red] ahead of time.

A sonic-like spirit, about a meter long and a third of a meter tall, appeared behind Chu Yang.

Also playing was an incredibly energetic background music!

As the background music started playing, Chu Yang felt as if his body had entered some kind of indescribable, wondrous state.

It was as if every cell in his body was vibrating in sync with the background music.

This vibration was not only rhythmic, but also seemed to have entered a state of perfect harmony with the world around us.

As Chu Yang was experiencing this magical feeling, his attention was suddenly drawn to a familiar silver light in front of him.

The passive talent [Divine Beauty] from God No. 1 has been triggered!

Chu Yang, in his current profession, does not yet possess the ability to ignore mental interference, thus he has fallen under the influence of [Divine Appearance].

At this moment, Chu Yang's gaze and mind could not accommodate anything else but the perfect god before him.

Chu Yang still couldn't see the appearance of God No. 1, nor could he see the other person's figure. He only knew that the other person was so perfect.

So much so that just looking at the other person gave him a great sense of satisfaction.

Then he saw the vertical eye.

The divine power carrying the [Heavenly Path of Death]—[Divine Illumination]—has descended!

Strangely, Chu Yang knew perfectly well that the appearance of this eye would kill him.

He felt no desire to resist, nor any fear whatsoever.

He felt that dying at the hands of the other party was a kind of happiness.

Under normal circumstances, the battle between Chu Yang and God No. 1 would end here.

Because, at this point, Chu Yang must have already died.

But in that instant, this world, and Chu Yang within it, underwent an incomparably mysterious change.

Chu Yang first moved his eyes, because in his vision, in addition to that perfect god, there was another strange line of cause and effect.

Why do I say it's strange?

Because the causal lines that Chu Yang saw before all had a direction, like a very thin river.

The upper class is the cause, and the lower class is the effect; from cause to effect.

This is clearly the normal cause-and-effect relationship in Chu Yang's understanding.

However, at this moment, the cause-and-effect line that Chu Yang saw was in reverse, flowing from effect to cause.

Chu Yang's attention was instantly drawn to this strange cause-and-effect relationship, and his gaze kept searching for the "effect" at its source.

Then, he saw the "fruit".

He saw himself, still alive and standing before the gods, 10 seconds later.

In the past, Chu Yang was unable to see the causal line with himself as the "cause" and the "effect".

But now he can see it.

From this "result," he knew that he would not die in 10 seconds.

This "result" has already been determined by the world!

The cause that gave rise to this "effect" has only just begun to occur.

At this moment, cause and effect... were reversed!
