Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

The boundary between existence and nothingness.

[At that moment, as Yu Ci opened his eyes and gazed into the distance, an unexpected change occurred.]

The black cat, buried under the snowdrift, raised its head and witnessed Jiang Bofu's arrival, his position altered.

[Then she cried out, "Young Master, I'll risk my life to save you!"]

The black cat gave a slight smirk.

"Meow~ This little buddy is really cunning..."

[It's not criticizing Xu Hui's method of falsification, but rather referring to Xu Hui's operational approach.]

There were clearly many more ways to get Uncle Jiang to save you.

Xu Hui chose the most unique one.

"Meow~ In the words of the older brother, Huizi chose the strategy with the most bullet comments."

[Commentary on Xu Kun's black cat meowing randomly.]

Then, a strange aura emanated from its eerie green eyes.

"But this still can't break the deadlock."

The unpredictable nature of inner demons naturally leads to profound insights into the situation.

[Turning her head to look at the small light bulb.]

[Those transparent, glass-like eyes are filled with countless visions of the future.]

[Simply witnessing it is enough to leave one stunned and speechless by its sheer scale.]

The appearance of the symbol is like the light bulb seeing what is called "one".

That's completely meaningless.

"Meow~ Little light bulb, is this what you saw earlier?"

[The black cat lowered its voice, unusually serious.]

Yu Ci's clear, glassy eyes flickered slightly, she blinked, and seemed to snap back to reality.

[Looking down at the black cat.]

"What do you see?"

[A clear, cold voice, like jade, conveying confusion and bewilderment.]

【"Meow~ It's..."】

[Just as Xu Kun was about to offer a reminder, she made a statement that sounded like she was witnessing the future.]

But then it suddenly stopped.

My mind races back to all these years, to how we've been separated by the threshold of the ancestral hall.

A man and a cat racked their brains, searching for a way to break free from what seemed like destiny.

The result is that, of all possibilities, they all point to the end.

Any newly devised solution will be inscribed with cause and effect and destiny, forming a closed loop.

At that moment, it saw you enter a state of mindlessness.

[Completely abandoned their brains.]

[Without thinking, without desire, without concern.]

Don't mention the disappearance of the little light bulb.

Even its dearest little brother, 2.5, didn't accompany it, and it didn't even bother to ask.

【so……】

This is the variable!

Meow! Big Brother governs by doing nothing!

The black cat blinked excitedly, then fell into confusion again.

Does this really work?

The eldest brother remained unmoved, waiting for change to occur, but the thoughts of the others were equally etched with cause and effect and destiny.

[Is the unexpected turn of events that the eldest brother is waiting for still considered an unexpected turn of events?]

Just like Hui Zi's alteration at this moment.

[It is merely becoming part of what is already predetermined.]

The killing spree remains unchanged.

What did that little light bulb just see? And why did it forget it?

The inner demons' unpredictable and cunning schemes leave even the most grappling with exhaustion in the face of this complex situation.

Yu Ci's glass-like eyes showed a hint of doubt and confusion.

Gradually, even the lingering questions in my heart were forgotten.

Only the divination stick in hand remains displayed.

This divination is...very auspicious!

High above the capital, Jiang Bo, carrying out his mission, set the compass.

This ritual, used to guide cause and effect and destiny, is a gift from the heavens.

[To assist him in guiding the course of the massacre, allowing the overall situation to evolve into the outcome you all desire.]

Now, Jiang Bofu relies on this ritual instrument that can influence the power of cause and effect and destiny.

[The upheaval is the destined calamity.]

[A mystical and unfathomable aura flickers, shimmering with radiant light, revealing just the tip of the iceberg of the world's true nature.]

Jiang Bofu broke through the dimensional barrier and reached out to you.

As I drew closer to you...

His fingertips gradually faded, turning black and white.

[It can even lead to a conceptual downgrade and collapse.]

Even with the protection of the Fated Compass, his status and realm still fluctuated violently.

[It was constantly ravaged and destroyed by the calamity of slaughter.]

[Jiang Bofu completely disregarded everything and resolutely grabbed the hem of your clothes.]

[The pale-faced man roared in anger.]

[Suddenly pulling you out of the brink of annihilation.]

[Splash!]

You emerged as if from an endless, dark ocean, greedily breathing in the life force.

Colors are repainted on your body.

The shifting dimensions caused even your eighth-realm cultivation, which aligns with the Dao of Heaven, to feel an unbearable discomfort.

It's like redrawing a three-dimensional body with just a few flat lines.

The inescapable descent into depravity leaves you with lingering fear.

[And then, after you see who saved you from your desperate situation.]

[He tilted his head in confusion.]

[Oh, isn't this Grand Tutor Jiang?]

Why did the elderly person suddenly become so kind and save you?

[You think to yourself with amusement, but your expression remains calm.]

[I immediately guessed that it must have been Huizi, who had vanished without a trace, who made the move.]

The method of falsification distorted Jiang Bofu's understanding.

"Young Master!"

The next moment, Jiang Bofu's tearful cry caused your expression to freeze slightly.

Oh dear...

How exactly did Huizi distort the old man's perception?

How do you act out a deeply emotional scene?

Jiang Bofu gripped your wrists tightly, choking back tears with anguish: "Young Master, who has so cruelly orchestrated this attack to harm you! This old servant will go and kill him right now!"

You tugged at the corners of your frozen mouth.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised his finger and pointed forward.

[Jiang Bofu saw you pointing to yourself.]

[His brow furrowed slightly, showing no sign of doubt that you were signaling to him.]

[Turn around and look back.]

Coincidentally, the direction you pointed in, beyond him, led far towards the imperial city of Taiyuan.

"Emperor Xuanwu!"

[Jiang Bofu growled angrily.]

[His hair and beard danced wildly, his magnificent aura surged, stirring up extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.]

You don't have time to deal with Jiang Bofu's absurd act.

[Look at his arm, which is gradually fading in color and being stripped of its dimensional boundaries.]

[This clearly pulls you out of the abyss of despair.]

The cost is now on him.

[Leaving aside Jiang Bofu's realm and status, even with the blessing of rituals involving cause and effect and destiny.]

[It won't take long.]

Even when you feel your personality has been ravaged to the brink of destruction.

[It's likely that Huizi's alterations would be shaken by Jiang Bofu's instinctive will to survive in the face of death.]

[To wake him up.]

[Procrastinating...]

Damn it!

[The second move continued to be effective, turning the tide of the game several times, but the result was still merely a delaying tactic.]

You couldn't help but curse under your breath.

What should I do?

The thought had barely crossed my mind when you immediately stopped it.

Don't just think about it, you can only do it.

What are you doing?

You suddenly looked up at the sky.

Since the calamity is predetermined, it cannot be changed.

【Then you won't hide anymore!】

[As originally planned, the passive skill "Surviving a Great Calamity" was...]

[This will be used to inscribe what is destined to be the end.]

Although the countermeasures are proving effective, they are merely delaying tactics, amounting to nothing more than a dead end.

Moreover, even if one were to be brought back to life.

[Since cause and effect and fate are predetermined, they will continue to destroy you.]

There's no way to break the deadlock by dying once.

Since that's the case.

【Then you should do the opposite!】

"The killing spree has begun!"

If you can't avoid it, then embrace it.

[First, etch this attack into your memory.]

[And to die once, to test the true nature of the killing calamity.]

You're going to disrupt the flow!
