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

Back then, Ma Chao, the 217th generation leader of the Sanzhen Sect, disregarded seniority and humbly requested guidance from Haishan. It was under Haishan's guidance that Haoguang officially began to connect with the beauty of all things.

The world of "Battle Through the Heavens".

Beside the Void Thunder Pool in Central Continent, Xiao Yan stood with his hands behind his back, strange flames rising and intertwining behind him. He gazed at the scene, a hint of reminiscence curving his lips, his eyes filled with admiration.

"No matter the plane, 'the accomplished are teachers' has always been an ironclad rule in the world of the strong. This sect leader named Ma Chao, despite his high position, still humbly seeks knowledge. If this kind of character were in the Dou Qi Continent, even with mediocre talent, he would eventually become a Dou Zun. Thinking back, Elder Yao once said that true masters never care about empty fame. Hai Shan, a mere junior, can make the former sect leader bow down, which means he not only has knowledge, but also the kind of knowledge that can help someone 'break through' their cultivation level. Hao Guang used this to open the 'Connection of All Things'—hey, how many people would kill for such an opportunity? Compared to those guys who rely on their age to act superior, this Ma Chao lives with clarity! Just like those old guys I encountered back then, being beaten into submission is one thing, but actively seeking knowledge is another."

The world of One-Punch Man.

In a cramped apartment in the deserted area, Saitama was picking his ear, flipping through discount flyers with an indifferent expression, and glancing blankly at the sky.

"Ugh... another apprenticeship thing. It's so troublesome. If I just do a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, a hundred squats, and run ten kilometers every day, getting stronger is a given, right? Why make it so complicated, with all this 'guidance' and 'connection' stuff? But hey, this bald... no, this sect leader, since he's willing to bow down, he must be a decent guy. Like that annoying Genos guy, although he's a bit bothersome, his persistence is hard to dislike. I just hope he doesn't end up like Genos, making people write 'mind cultivation notes' all the time, that would be real hell."

[They encountered the Thousand Machines Hall's Tiger God again in Louzhong Street, thus forming a three-person team to continuously complete the Corpse-based quests left by Jiang Mingzi.]

Within five years, Hai Shan's strength has grown rapidly.

In 1911, Hai Shan, Hao Guang, and Da Shen participated in a survey mission in Dongting Lake. They encountered the Seven Corpses of Wanye, a lackey of Pan Nanjun. This mission was arguably the most dangerous yet. Even in combat, the three had to fight to the death against mindless magic corpses like Feng Po. Hai Shan was most skilled at calling his enemies "father" and underestimating them, believing it was like giving a cat or dog a name and then softening their heart towards it.

The world of "Under One Person".

On the back of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Chulan was squatting on the ground eating a watermelon without any regard for his image. When he saw the words "Call Me Daddy Tactics", his eyes suddenly flashed with the brilliance of a kindred spirit, and he even threw the watermelon rind away.

"Holy crap! Master! This is a master! I want to become sworn brothers! Hai Shan, right? From today onwards, you're my half-brother! Those self-righteous eccentrics know nothing! What dignity, what face? In the face of life and death, what's face worth? As long as I can live, I'll call you Dad, Grandpa, or even Ancestor without hesitation! 'Underestimating the enemy' tactic... tsk tsk, this name sounds impressive, but isn't the core of our 'Shameless' sect the essence? Make the enemy soft-hearted, make the enemy complacent, and then— *splat!* Black Tiger rips out the heart! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This isn't just admitting defeat, this is military strategy! Even Sun Tzu's Art of War isn't as effective as this 'Sun Tzu's Art of War'! Feng Baobao, did you see that? Learn from this, next time you're burying someone, call them Dad twice first, maybe you can dig the pit two feet less!"

"KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!"

In the stable, Kazuma Sato, wrapped in a simple blanket, gave the sky a thumbs-up, a lewd yet approving smile on his face.

"Truly worthy of being a hero candidate from another world! I feel like I'm seeing my soulmate! Those knights who shout 'honor' and 'justice' all day long, their brains are practically waterlogged like Aqua's. Facing a monster like the 'Seven Corpses of Ten Thousand Deeds,' head-on confrontation is something only a masochist like Darkness would do. As long as you can weaken the opponent's killing intent, what's wrong with calling them 'daddy' a couple of times? That's the most efficient 'stealth' skill! And if you could even add my 'steal' skill, you could call them 'daddy' while stealing their weapon or... hehe, what a wonderful tactical combination that would be! It's a pity, Brother Haishan, your skill tree seems to have been a little off-target. Theory alone isn't enough without luck. Next time, remember to learn 'absorb,' throw away your integrity, but remember to reap the benefits!"

[If this method were used, the enemy would definitely soften their stance towards Haishan, but as it turns out, calling someone "daddy" is less effective than a group attack.]

The world of "Fate/Stay Night".

Inside the luxurious room, Gilgamesh swirled the red wine in his glass, his crimson eyes filled with undisguised tyranny and contempt.

"Hmph, a bastard is a bastard. How dare you attempt to defile the sanctity of battle with such vile words. 'Call me daddy'? Such an ugly survival tactic not only disgraces a king but also strips away the last shred of dignity a warrior should have. Since these 'corpses of magic' are worthy of even a glance from me, if they are moved by such low-level tricks, they don't deserve to die under my treasure. The outcome is inevitable; abandoning dignity didn't bring survival, but instead resulted in an even more brutal 'gang beating.' This is the fairest judgment for cowards. Remember, Haishan, there is only one way to make someone submit: to crush them completely with absolute power, until they dare not even look up! Not to wag their tails and beg for mercy like a broken-backed dog!"

[When Hai Shan was pursued by Yu Taishan, he used the Penglai secondary travel outfit, demonstrating his reliable strength. However, when he was changing into Crane Boy, Yu Taishan cut off many of the secondary travel talismans from his hands, forcing him to flee in all directions in a sorry state.]

The world of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

Han Li was currently piloting the Divine Wind Boat at high speed above the Chaotic Star Sea, his brows furrowed and his eyes sharply analyzing the escape scenes on the sky.

"This person... is indeed a promising talent, but his experience is still lacking. Even with his hand severed, he still activated the substitute talisman. This decisiveness in sacrificing his own life is quite to my liking. In the cultivation world, survival is always the top priority. As long as the primordial spirit is not destroyed, the physical body can still be restored. His 'Penglai Secondary Travel Attire' is quite interesting; it seems to be able to instantly teleport? However, the gap in 'changing the crane' was too large, and the opponent actually seized the opportunity. If I had such a life-saving supernatural ability, I would definitely have set up a maze beforehand, or even used a clone to divert attention, instead of fleeing in such a sorry state. Such scattered escapes will only lead to being defeated one by one if encountering an enemy with strong spiritual sense. However, to survive such a certain death situation, Hai Shan's resilience is already somewhat reminiscent of my own Foundation Establishment stage."

The world of Demon Slayer.

On the hospital bed in the Butterfly Mansion, Zenitsu Agatsuma looked at the blood-soaked scene and screamed in terror, covering his head with his hands, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Aaaaaah! My hand! My hand is gone?! It's definitely gone! It hurts so much! Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm going to die! Why did this have to happen to me?! Is that guy named Yu Taishan a demon? He's scarier than a demon! If it were me, I would have fainted the moment I touched that monster! No, my heart would probably have stopped from fright! Poor Haishan, sob sob sob... But even if my hand is cut off, I still have to run for my life, and I still have to run with my companions, right? Even though it's a mess... even though it's an ugly escape... but if I don't run, I really won't be able to see cute girls again, and I won't be able to eat delicious eel rice again! So, running away is not shameful! Only by living can I hope to hear better sounds! Sob sob sob, Nezuko-chan, if I lose my hand, will you comfort me?"

Fortunately, the powerful magical talisman that left its name behind provided support, and the Five True Immortals fought desperately against Huang Liang, thus securing a glimmer of hope for the three children.

After a fierce battle, only Haishan had the remaining strength to successfully defeat the two.

The world of Assassination Classroom.

Koro-sensei's round, yellow face turned a serious, pure white. His tentacles gently stirred the air, and his tone carried a hint of respect and instruction.

"Twist it. This is what I often say about the importance of the 'second knife.' Faced with an absolute power gap, the first wave of the 'call for daddy' tactic failed, the second wave of the 'substitute' escape was thwarted, and the final chance of survival often comes from the self-sacrifice of a comrade. Wu Yuanzhen... used his life, his last 'magic talisman,' to teach the students the most profound lesson. Haishan's final 'success' was not a fluke; it was because he carried this heavy expectation, squeezing every last drop of energy from every cell in extreme exhaustion. This will to protect comrades is sharper than any assassination technique. Students, watch carefully; this is the chance to survive that even the weak must fight with all their might in this cruel world!"

[Later, while Haoguang was recuperating in Penglai, Hai Zhengfeng compared Haoguang to someone else's child—honest, diligent, and ambitious—unlike Haishan, who was rebellious, lazy, and disobedient.]

[Upon seeing Haoguang's disgraceful actions, I praised him, saying he was unlike anyone else, truly a daring, unrestrained, and filial child.]

The world of "Joy of Life".

Fan Xian leaned lazily against the pile of files in the Censorate, toying with a waist token in his hand, looking at the sky, and letting out a meaningful chuckle.

"This old man, Hai Tou, is a remarkable fellow, and a shrewd old fox who sees through the ways of the world. The so-called 'other people's children' are nothing more than a whip used to discipline his own foolish son. But when it comes to truly important matters of right and wrong, this father sees things more clearly than anyone else. 'Disgrace and ruin'? In the eyes of ordinary people, that's a dead end, but in the eyes of those who aspire to great things, daring to tarnish one's own reputation for a certain belief is true courage. Old Hai Tou is scolding on the surface, but in reality, he's showing pride. What he values ​​isn't 'obedience,' but that fearless spirit that dares to 'pull a hole in the sky.' This double standard is precisely the most genuine form of fatherly love. If I had a father like that… well, although I have several 'fathers,' this kind of down-to-earth protection makes one somewhat envious of Hai Shan Liao Liao."

The world of Assassin Seven.

In front of Da Bao J Hair Salon, Wu Liuqi was trimming the feathers of a hen while complaining in a thick Cantonese accent.

"Sigh, that's typical Chinese dad. He complains like crazy, but he's a total jerk inside. He talks about being 'rebellious' and 'lazy,' but that's just him being polite. When something really happens, see what he says? 'Daredevil, unrestrained'! He changes his tune faster than I do. It's like when I cut Da Bao's hair. He says his hair is tough and hard to cut, but actually... well, he's thinking he'd like to get more money. But this kind of father-son relationship is really cool. Hai Shan, that bastard, even though he lost his hand and almost died, having a dad who supports him like that makes it all worthwhile. Unlike me, I don't even have a past to remember, and I don't even know who to turn to if I want to get a scolding."

The world of Naruto.

In Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto Uzumaki had his face buried in a huge bowl of miso chashu ramen. When he heard Hai Zhengfeng's words, he suddenly raised his head, his face still covered with fish cake, and smiled brightly.

"This is what they call 'recognition,' right? Even though he says he hates it and that he's disobedient, but... but Dad has actually been watching Haishan's back the whole time! That 'rebellious' label might just be because Haishan walked a path that Dad wouldn't dare to take! Daring to venture out, daring to risk 'ruin' for his companions, that's real coolness! I'm telling you, compared to those well-behaved kids, this kind of guy who can make Dad furious but ultimately have to give a thumbs up is a real man! I understand this feeling all too well, this feeling of being scolded by the most important person and then suddenly being praised... it's really, incredibly heartwarming! It's more precious than any mission reward!"

But in reality, Hai Shan has always been warm-hearted and full of justice.

Facing the shooting star in the night sky, Haishan earnestly made a wish, hoping that he, his family, and his girlfriend would not be disturbed after death, that they wouldn't rise up to work for Wanye, and that they could all create a fun memory together.

This wish remained unchanged even when Hai Shan was twenty years old.

The world of "The Burial of Frilian".

In the forest at dusk, Frilian gently stroked the ruby ​​on her wand, her pale green eyes reflecting the trajectory of a shooting star across the sky, her voice ethereal and distant.

"Again... such a wish. Not wanting to be 'disturbed,' wanting 'interesting memories.' Human life is only a few decades long, fleeting like a shooting star. But what they fear most is not death itself, but the 'unrest' after death. That being called Wanye even deprives the dead of their peaceful rest, which is probably the saddest thing for humanity. Simmel once said that it is precisely because life is finite that the memories created are so precious. What Haishan wants to protect is not some grand world peace, but these trivial, interesting 'daily' moments that allow the soul to sleep peacefully after the journey ends. This gentleness... even after hundreds of years, I think I can still remember it."

The world of Chainsaw Man.

In a dilapidated house filled with garbage, Denji, the Chainsaw Man, hugs his Pochita doll, his eyes fixed on the words "family, girlfriend," revealing an extremely simple yet persistent longing.

"Hey... this guy's only wish is this? Not having to work? Creating fun memories together?... Isn't that the best wish ever?! I want that too! I want to not have to kill demons every day, not have to worry about where my next meal is, and be able to eat with pretty girls... even just a slice of toast covered in jam, that would be the life of a god! Having to work after death? Absolutely not! Those kinds of bosses are the worst! You're all set, right? I, Chainsaw Man, approve of your wish! To be able to sleep peacefully even after death, cut down that 'all-working' business! If you can do that, I'll admit you're a guy with a 'lofty dream' just like me!"
