Sky Curtain: An Initial Overview of the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Mortal World

Above the celestial screen, as the ancient tree that had stood for three thousand years slowly faded from the image, a poignant aftertaste seemed to linger in the hearts of everyone in the myriad realms. However, the mysterious light screen did not give the audience much time to breathe. The image shifted, and golden particles rearranged and combined, traversing the long river of time from the vast Penglai in the East Sea, flowing upstream.

This time, time stood still in 1046 BC.

That was an era filled with a wild, ancient, and mysterious atmosphere—the Shang Dynasty.

[The review continues.]

In the distant past, in the history of the Three Truths School, there was once an extremely special leader.

She was revered by later generations as the "Lord of Life, Death, Mountains, and Rivers."

She is Gongsun Ling.

The scene gradually came into focus. Contrary to everyone's expectations, there was no imposing, domineering presence of a powerful figure who seemed to suppress the world. Instead, what came into view was a woman lying on her side on a couch, her eyes still heavy with sleep, as if even turning over was a struggle.

Gongsun Ling (female). The sect leader of the Three Truths Sect in 1046 BC, and one of the three chosen successors by the previous Three Truths Moon Decree. She possesses the special ability to see Jiang Mingzi and Can Yi in the future through the Three Truths Moon Decree.

However, this powerful figure living in a chaotic world had a personality that was quite unexpected.

She is lazy and hates trouble more than anything else in her life.

In Jiang Mingzi's words, she is called "Lazy Sister"; in Can Yi's words, she is the "Spirit Girl" who never grows up.

[While cultivating within the sect, she always slacked off whenever possible, constantly fantasizing about swapping other people's good fortune for hers and leaving her own bad fate to others. She even once suggested to Canyi that she be expelled from the sect and replaced with someone else as this so-called successor of the Same Month Order.]

The world under one person.

The hustle and bustle of the Luotian Grand Ceremony on the back of Longhu Mountain seemed irrelevant here.

Wang Ye was hanging on a tree branch, holding a thermos in his hand. He was dozing off with his eyes half-closed, but when he saw the "like-minded" figure in the sky, he suddenly perked up and almost spat out his goji berry tea.

"Oh my, this patriarch has really hit the nail on the head!"

Wang Ye scratched his messy Taoist head, looking at the sky with a look of regret for not having met sooner, and pointed at the sky.

"In this world, troubles come one after another. Everyone is scrambling to become the best in the world or to ascend to immortality. Little do they know that tranquility and inaction are the true essence. Look at this Senior Gongsun Ling, he would rather lie down than sit. I still haven't reached that level of cultivation. If I could pass on the burden of 'Feng Hou Qi Men' to someone else, would I have to be chased by those people every day? It's too troublesome, really too troublesome."

He sighed deeply and slumped back against the tree trunk, as if uttering even a single word would consume half a pound of his true energy.

The Naruto world.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building in Konoha Village.

Nara Shikamaru, who was looking at the clouds, had been filled with helplessness about life in his dead fish eyes. But when he saw Gongsun Ling's introduction, he couldn't help but sit up straight, and his eyes flashed with amazing resonance.

"This is so troublesome..."

This catchphrase almost slipped out unconsciously, but he immediately followed up with another sentence.

"But this woman is so shrewd. Despite possessing immense power, she only wants a peaceful life. Why fight and kill? Isn't it better to watch the clouds drift by? She's called 'Lazy Sister'? What an enviable title. If only the women in our world could be as averse to trouble as she is. My mom, Ino, and that Temari... they're all synonyms for trouble. If I could be like her, I'd like to apply to leave the Allied Shinobi Forces and go home to play shogi and sleep."

……

However, despite her lazy nature, fate never seemed to let her off the hook.

As a young girl, Gongsun Ling followed the disciples of the Three Truths Sect in their search for traces of "Wilderness's" murders. That was the first time she learned of the existence of this terrifying being.

Looking at the mess and corpses scattered everywhere, her first thought was—this is really troublesome.

But it is precisely this woman, who hates trouble the most, who possesses a terrifying innate divine power capable of overturning the law of causality—the power to change fate simultaneously.

The scene suddenly changed; the woman, who had been languid, gently flicked her fingertips, as if manipulating invisible threads.

[Same Moment, Same Fate: The ability to connect fate and fortune through cause and effect, allowing one to exchange fates with another for a temporary period.]

[Misfortune can turn into good fortune, and good fortune can turn into misfortune. This is a highly practical application of the law of cause and effect!]

Simply put, even in a situation where death is inevitable, she can exchange fates, transferring death to the enemy and gaining a chance to live!

The world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker.

On the streets of Tushan, Bai Yuechu, who was frantically munching on a bunch of colorful lollipops, suddenly stopped. His eyes widened, his two long tufts of hair stood up like radar, and he stared intently at the commentary on the screen.

"Gulp..."

He swallowed hard, his eyes flashing with a greedy golden light, a light even more dazzling than the gold of Tushan.

"Exchange lives? Does that mean you can exchange them for money too?! Exchange my poor life for Wang Fugui's, and Wang Fugui's young master life for mine! I'll be rich! This is an absolute money-making technique! If I had this trick, why would I need to pay off debts? I could just exchange the fate of that 100 million debt for that squinty-eyed fox! Heavens, why isn't this kind of divine skill with me! I'm willing to use all my five-colored sticks to repay this one supernatural power!"

The world of One Piece.

On the deck of the Sunny, Nami dropped the orange she was holding. She had been meticulously calculating the ship's expenses, but now she was completely captivated by the concept of "working together every moment."

"Good luck turned into bad luck..."

The Beli symbol in Nami's eyes began to spin wildly. She grabbed Luffy's collar and shook him excitedly.

"Luffy! Did you hear that?! This is cheating on the level of causality! If we go to a casino... no, if we go treasure hunting, all we have to do is exchange our bad luck of 'not finding treasure' with someone else, and all the treasure will automatically come to us! And when we encounter a Marine Admiral, we can just switch our fate of 'getting captured' to them... God, this ability is practically tailor-made for me! You, Gongsun Ling, please take me as your apprentice!"

Luffy was shaken so badly his tongue was sticking out, and he mumbled, "Nami...meat...I want to eat meat..."

……

Although this supernatural power sounds incredible, it is extremely difficult to execute in practice.

[In later generations, Jiang Mingzi studied Gongsun Ling's "Same Time Fate Change Talisman" using the Three Truths Borrowing Treasures Method, and even refined it. However, even someone as powerful as Jiang Mingzi could not fully unleash the essence of his supernatural powers when using this talisman.]

[Until that man appeared—Gao Haoguang, the Extreme Law Demon Lord.]

He was able to utilize this talisman to its fullest potential thanks to his exceptional talent in talismanic arts.

In the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh battles of cause and effect, Gao Haoguang poured a large number of the same-engraved Destiny Talismans into the Fruits of Myriad Karmas, connecting the fortunes of the world seeking the Dharma with those of mortals.

[And in the thirty-eighth battle of cause and effect, he even used the same life-changing talisman to withstand the attack of the Myriad Laws Sword!]

[Meanwhile, Gongsun Ling, living in the past, had been observing all of this through the Moon Order.]

She could see Jiang Mingzi through the same-monthly command and jokingly called him "the unprecedented and unparalleled miracle prince."

During Gongsun Ling's youth and the years that followed, although she complained about the trouble, her actions betrayed her true intentions. She deliberately collected powerful magical treasures from the Three True Disciples throughout history and stored them within the Dharma Palace.

It was she who, through the same month's decree, transcended time and space to guide Jiang Mingzi in repairing the damaged magical artifact "Sparkling Wildfire."

[Countless smaller entities eventually coalesced into the ultimate weapon that severed all ages—the Three Truths and Myriad Laws Sword!]

She was the key figure and the one who laid the foundation for victory in that battle of cause and effect!

The world of Death Note.

Light Yagami sat in the dimly lit room, clutching a black notebook tightly in his hand. He stared at the sky, his eyes cold and deep, his mind racing.

"Cause and effect...the exchange of fate..."

He muttered to himself under his breath, a smug and insane smirk playing on his lips.

"What interesting rules. In this world, Death only knows how to trade names and lifespans, but this woman can directly manipulate the flow of fate. If I could possess this ability, there would be no obstacles to building a new world. No need for names, no need for faces, just the exchange of cause and effect between 'justice will prevail' and 'evil deserves to be punished'... Hmph, but that person named Gao Haoguang is also worth noting, as he can actually turn such complex rules into tools. It seems that no matter which world you are in, the one who controls the rules is the true god."

Fate/Stay Night world.

In the dojo of Shirou Emiya's family, Saber (Artoria Pendragon) was kneeling, solemnly gazing at the sky.

"Collecting the treasures of past dynasties to pave the way for future victory..."

Respect shone in her emerald eyes.

"Although she speaks of laziness, her actions are filled with the nobility of a knight. For a future she herself cannot even witness, she silently gathers the seeds of hope in the past and repairs her armor. This 'Three Truths and Ten Thousand Laws Sword' embodies the beliefs of countless generations, and its weight is probably no less than my Excalibur. Gongsun Ling, you are not lazy; you have simply devoted all your energy to protecting that distant hope."
