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

Baili Yuan used the "Great Injury and Great Rebirth" technique to reveal Duan Xinglian's secret to his accomplices in the time-space dimension.

This supernatural power came at a great cost, leaving him in an unprecedented state of severe injury.

But he did not remain dormant because of this.

The Three-Body World.

Luo Ji, the Wallfacer, stood solemnly before the massive strategic map of the underground bunker.

"He's not looking for some kind of power; he's looking for patterns."

"In the dark forest, if you can grasp the 'prelude' to the actions of other civilizations, you have grasped their lifeline. This Baili Yuan is trying to find the cosmic sociological axioms belonging to his enemy from countless chaotic pieces of information."

"Once he finds it, he can predict every reinforcement and every counterattack from the enemy. This is a far more dangerous move than simply increasing combat power. He is trying to become the Swordholder."

On his way to find Duan Xinglian, he encountered an elite human squad, the "God-Slaying Group".

Even with severe injuries, the outcome of the battle is without suspense.

He easily defeated this elite team with overwhelming force.

Berserk World.

Guts, clad in black armor, leans on his greatsword, his left eye coldly fixed on the scene.

"monster."

"This guy's injuries are enough to kill a hundred warriors ten times over, but his logic in action is not confused at all, and his killing efficiency is even higher."

"This isn't a fight based on willpower. Pain seems to be just an insignificant background noise to him. He's struggling, but not to survive, but to accomplish his goal more efficiently. He's a completely different species from survivors like me."

After the victory, Baili Yuan immediately carried out his long-planned takeover scheme.

He invaded Duan Xinglian's body.

However, the mask deep in his memory unleashed boundless causal power from the depths of Duan Xinglian's consciousness, forcibly repelling his consciousness.

The intrusion failed.

However, Duan Xinglian himself had no memory of this life-changing experience.

[He will only feel an overwhelming, inexplicable hatred at some point in the future, the moment he encounters Baili Yuan.]

The world of Overlord.

Between the thrones in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown (Satoru Suzuki) gently tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingers.

"A typical failure caused by insufficient intelligence."

"Bai Liyuan only knows that the target possesses powerful supernatural abilities, but he knows nothing about its specific defense mechanisms, triggering conditions, or counterattack strength. This is as foolish as knowing that there is treasure in a dungeon and then going to challenge the final boss."

"What's even more terrifying is that they seem to erase relevant memories. This means that it's impossible to obtain information through repeated probing. Against such an enemy, there's no turning back if you take the wrong step."

Fast forward to 2025.

The Nine Realms Gate, with Baili Yuan as its mastermind, has officially declared war on Penglai.

Assassin Seven World.

Wu Liuqi was getting a haircut at Da Bao J Hair Salon, watching the war on the sky through a small screen.

"I don't understand."

"Why do these people always have to fight each other? The people from Penglai all seem to be good people, but the Nine Realms Gate doesn't look like a good thing at all."

"For territory? Or for some secret technique? I, Ah Qi, just want to be a quiet hairdresser, earn some money, and go to the Kingdom of Ster to regain my memories. Fighting is dangerous and doesn't pay well, so why bother?"

The focus of the war was on Hai Shan and Bai Li Yuan.

Baili Yuan used a strategy of attrition, constantly depleting Hai Shan's strength.

When Hai Shan was exhausted, he finally stepped into the fray himself, gaining the upper hand with an absolute advantage and severely injuring the guardian deity of Penglai.

However, just as Baili Yuan was preparing to deliver the fatal blow, Hai Shan made the final choice.

[Hai Gong launched a final counterattack at the cost of his own life, gaining a fleeting opportunity.]

His sacrifice, while not killing Baili Yuan, successfully exposed Baili Yuan's true nature as a "spiritual corpse" to everyone's view.

The world of Demon Slayer.

At the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku stood with his arms crossed, flames burning in his eyes.

"A beautiful strike!"

"The beauty of aging and death lies in the fact that humans are such fleeting beings. This Haishan, precisely because he knew his life was finite, was able to radiate such brilliant light!"

"He burned his life not to defeat the enemy, but to light the way for future generations! This is the responsibility of a true hero! He did an outstanding job!"

Baili Yuan's identity was exposed, and he no longer pretended, revealing his murderous intent.

But just as he was about to deliver the final blow to the heavily injured Hai Shan...

The sky changed color.

Gao Haoguang, in his peak form as the 218th generation leader of the Sanzhen Sect, returns to the battlefield.

The overwhelming power and unstoppable killing intent of the Demon Lord of the Unparalleled Law caused the previously arrogant Baili Yuan to halt his actions for the first time.

The Seven Deadly Sins World.

Under the midday sun, Escanor raised his glass and let out a hearty laugh.

"The sun has risen, and the fleas' revelry is over."

"This guy named Baili Yuan displays his insignificant cruelty in front of the weak, which is nothing more than the light of a firefly in the night. But now, the real sun has appeared before him. All his power and all his schemes seem so laughable in the face of this absolute strength."

"What determines victory or defeat is never strategy, but overwhelming power. I am the best proof of that."

The roles of hunter and prey are instantly reversed.

Baili Yuan began to lead his men to flee, but Gao Haoguang's Myriad Laws Sword locked onto his karma, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Even if one uses "minor injury and minor reincarnation," it cannot escape the pursuit, nor can it mislead the punishment of the law of causality.

This was the first time in his life that he felt threatened by death.

[Bai Liyuan once again invoked the Great Injury Reincarnation technique, requesting Pan Nanjun, one of his six lifetimes and five incarnations, to intervene and kill Gao Haoguang.]

However, Pan Nanjun's attack failed.

The Naruto world.

Above the ruins of the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha's spirit form let out a cold snort.

"Utterly foolish."

"When your plans are completely crushed by overwhelming power, any struggle is futile. Hoping for a helper from beyond time and space to resolve your current predicament is the most incompetent thing to do."

"He was wrong from the start. When he discovered that kid named Duan Xinglian had something special about him, he should have used swift and decisive methods to completely eliminate him, instead of being tempted by greed. Greed made him miss the best opportunity. Now, it's all too late."

Just as Baili Yuan was about to be killed, it was "Huang" who intervened, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

They relied on this brief opportunity.

He finally found his true target—Duan Xinglian, who was attempting to "write reality" within his dream of a myriad of endeavors.

[Bai Liyuan, using his selfless Dharma form, launched a final invasion, attempting to merge with Duan Xinglian's primordial spirit, forcibly return him to reality, and seize his innate divine power.]

This was a high-stakes gamble, and his only way out.

But he didn't know that Duan Xinglian was also waiting for him.

That seemingly helpless boy had already used his understanding of cause and effect to weave a predetermined, inescapable logic of death for Baili Yuan.

Baili Yuan's intrusion perfectly triggered every condition of this logical trap.

A single thought can define an eternal world.

Bai Xiaochun slapped his thigh excitedly as he watched this scene.

"That's real skill!"

"Fighting and killing is too dangerous. What if you get killed? This young man Duan is too clever! He knew he couldn't win, so he dug a pit and waited for the enemy to jump in!"

"Using the rules to kill is the ultimate way to survive! Once you're in, you're guaranteed to die; I don't even have to lift a finger. This feels amazing! If I learn this trick, who would dare mess with me, Bai Xiaochun?"

Above the sky, the scene is frozen.

Baili Yuan, who invaded Duan Xinglian's consciousness, triggered the woven cause and effect.

The merciless punishment of causality descended from the void, striking his severely injured body with pinpoint accuracy.

His incomparably powerful physical body turned into pure ashes in that beam of light.

The dashing and carefree Baili Yuan has vanished into nothingness.

In his final moments as his consciousness faded, he felt no resentment toward the enemy, nor any bitterness toward defeat.

In his dying moments, he left no last words.

[I just feel it's a bit of a pity that I won't be able to witness the day when Shi Guagua grows into a reliable adult.]

Fate/stay night world.

The future Heroic Spirit Emiya stands on a wasteland strewn with swords, witnessing this final scene.

"...Such twisted tenderness."

"He spent his entire life serving a grand, evil goal, committing countless crimes. But in the end, what sustained him was just this small and specific wish."

"Is it justifiable to destroy countless lives in order to protect one person's future? This kind of justice is wrong. But perhaps... the emotion itself is not wrong."
