Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

After a brief silence, the earth trembled as expected.

The roar came from the distant depths of the ocean, the ground shook violently, and the dust was stirred up by the violent tremors, turning into smoke and dust that filled the open space, as if some enormous creature deep underground had just broken free of its shackles.

If the original story were to proceed, everyone would not only have to worry about whether the physical time freeze of unknown duration had already destroyed the mind of the strongest sorcerer in the modern world, causing the invincible six-eyed sorcerer to fall into chaos and madness.

They will be even more shocked that Gojo Satoru did not appear in the pillar of light, and wonder if Gojo Satoru had been wiped out by the angel's magic along with the prison gate, and completely bid farewell to the world.

But at this moment, everyone present remained relatively calm, having been mentally prepared for the absence of Gojo Satoru, except for this earthquake.

This is because the earthquake was not included in the predictions made beforehand by Xia Jie, a mysterious intelligence officer.

For Xia Jie, who was well-versed in the plot...

In the original story, Rōzō sealed the "outer" into the deep sea as a precaution after learning of the existence of the "inner" part.

In the current timeline, since Lu Suo didn't venture into the Hongxing Palace and was unaware of the existence of the "Inside," there was clearly no need for him to go through all that trouble.

Was it because of a "premonition"? He vaguely remembered that in the original work, before the Shibuya Incident, Gojo Satoru also seemed to have a bad premonition.

Perhaps a similar situation exists now, where Rōsō takes the same action as in the original manga due to a premonition.

As everyone turned their gaze toward Xia Jie due to the unexpected earthquake,

Xia Jie's voice slowly rang out, offering an explanation for the changes on earth.

"Don't be surprised, this is Lu Suo's doing."

He raised his hand and pointed towards the sea, his tone calm: "It seems that even without knowing the existence of 'Inside,' Ryosaku still chose to sink 'Prison Gate Frontier' into the deepest part of the Japan Trench. I guess he wanted to use extreme water pressure to cut off all possibilities of Gojo Satoru's rescue, and even intended to keep the seal alive forever."

And then naturally, the earthquake that occurred when Gojo Satoru was unsealed and struggled with the sea came about.

Xia Jie's words completely dispelled everyone's doubts.

Tianyuan and all the other sorcerers present fell silent, their gazes falling on Xia Jie, whose expression was calm, and a sense of emotion arose in their hearts.

This is the soothsayer.

Without needing to think or test, one can foresee all future crises and grasp all changes in the palm of one's hand.

This technique is truly terrifying and frightening. Luckily, Xia Jie is their teammate, otherwise they would have been in serious trouble.

Hisahito Itadori clenched his fists, his eyes filled with relief, his mind churning with emotions.

It's wonderful that Mr. Xia Jie is the one who can foresee the future.

If the person who awakened this technique were not Xia Jie, who had good intentions, but a pure villain like Zhen Ren, who acted recklessly and took pleasure in harming others, the outcome would be unimaginable.

The world will surely end then.

Tiger Rod thought.

Fushiguro Megumi, standing to the side, lowered her eyes, her black eyelashes trembling slightly, her heart equally unsettled.

Predicting the future...

If he could possess such a technique, wouldn't everything be different?

He foresaw his mother's death and his father's departure, sought help from Gojo Satoru in advance, and prevented his sister from going to the Eighty-Eight Bridges.

Is this the only way to truly protect my sister and spare her from the suffering that shouldn't have been hers?

Would this make the reality of suffering caused by inequality even slightly better?

A bittersweet feeling welled up from his memories, lingering in Fu Hei's heart.

Even the most mature and seasoned individuals present, such as Hiromi Hitsugaya and Yuki Tsukumo, found it difficult to remain completely calm at this moment.

The two of them briefly entered a fantasy phase.

If I possessed this ability to foresee the future, how many conspiracies and evils could I uncover in advance, how many avoidable disasters could I prevent, and how many innocent lives could I save?

Can those misguided juniors, those companions who gradually fall into darkness, be saved in time? Can all those irreversible regrets be avoided?

In a split second, everyone was filled with emotion, and felt even more strongly the extraordinary abilities Xia Jie possessed in her lifetime.

It's likely that Xia Jie, who was once a swimmer, died in the Death and Annihilation Return Swim because she was already trapped in a deadly situation when she awakened the spell.

Meanwhile, outside the Hōsei Palace, on the distant ruins of the Zen temple.

Broken walls and ruins are intertwined and crisscrossed.

Scattered among the ruins, marked with massive fist imprints, were twisted corpses, dried blood, and thick, lingering curse energy.

Lu Suo stood atop a broken beam, casually observing the broken blade in his hand, his tone tinged with mockery and amusement.

"They've made quite a commotion, haven't they? That second-generation Heavenly Tyrant is simply..."

"……Um!?"

His voice abruptly stopped.

Lu Suo, who had been leisurely and carefree just a moment ago, suddenly froze on the spot, his smile vanished instantly, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. The hairs on his body stood on end, and an extreme sense of crisis gripped his soul.

The cursed spirit he had deployed at the deepest part of the Japan Trench, specifically to monitor "Prison Gate," was completely obliterated by Gojo Satoru, who had broken the seal, in the blink of an eye.

Without any struggle or meaningful resistance, they simply vanished cleanly into the deep sea.

Next second,

A vast and domineering aura of magical power surged into the sky from the sea!

It was the power of Gojo Satoru's curse.

Half a month later, the most powerful sorcerer in modern times has returned to the mortal realm!

Following the magical connection between him and the monitoring spirit, this terrifying aura was moving toward the ruins of the Zen temple at an unprecedented speed.

Lu Suo turned to Rimei, who was choosing a location for the "bath" ceremony, and spoke in a hurried and serious voice, leaving no room for jokes:

"Gojo Satoru has broken through the seal. He's breached the prison gates and is heading this way at full speed. We can't escape."

This is not an exaggeration.

It is an absolutely objective fact.

Once freed, Gojo Satoru is invincible and unstoppable.

They are not like Hanamichi, who possesses elven-like magical spirits. Once Gojo Satoru locks onto them, it will be too late to set up a barrier to conceal their presence.

Lu Suo's eyes hardened, and he said to Li Mei in a deep voice, "Now you must become Su Nuo's physical body. Only in this way can our respective plans continue, and our millennia of waiting and preparation will not be completely wiped out here."

Faced with certain death, Rime did not hesitate for a moment.

For a lifetime, for a thousand years, he had long placed all his obsessions and aspirations on Lord Su Nuo.

He channeled his magical power to create an invisible bond, his clear, cold voice carrying an almost obsessive devotion, echoing among the ruins.

"In exchange for offering my soul to Lord Sukuna, and everything I can offer except my physical body, I will make this body more compatible with Sukuna's soul."
