"Boy, give me a reason not to kill you." Su Nuo slowly got up from the ground, crossed his arms, his face was gloomy, and he exuded a very ominous sense of pressure.

His upper body clothing had been reduced to ashes in the explosion, revealing his rock-like, bulging muscles beneath, and the dark lines on his four strong arms exuded a cold, ominous, and cursed aura.

"Red Bean Paste is a secret weapon! The reason is that if we don't defeat Tianyuan, unless it commits suicide before the plan begins, it will inevitably have its personality altered by Tianyuan. I can provide real-time intelligence to help Brother Nuo defeat Tianyuan, and I myself am also a top-tier combatant, so I can offer some assistance."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Xia Jie bowed deeply without hesitation, her movements as swift and precise as a true Japanese person's.

"Wait, wait, what's going on between you and Sukuna? How did you, a friendly human spirit, end up with the man-eating cursed king?"

Gojo Satoru's eyes widened, his long fingers gesturing back and forth between Natsuki and Sukuna, his face displaying the classic "subway, old man, cell phone" expression, before his fingers stopped in front of Sukuna:

"Hey, Sukuna, how did you get out of my student's body?"

"The tiger staff is in Tianyuan's hands. The situation is urgent now. Instead of asking Su Nuo, it's better to ask me later. Now, let me tell you Tianyuan's information."

Xia Jie spoke up decisively, cutting off Gojo Satoru's words. A doubt arose in his heart, wondering if the invisible hand of Tengen was deliberately guiding the conversation again.

But Gojo Satoru's personality is inherently unconventional, and his last words, especially those spoken at the end of his life, directly ignited the internet.

With a character like this who might suddenly spout some extraordinary opinion, Xia Jie has no way of knowing whether the powerful force of Tianyuan is behind the current situation.

But in either case, he had to organize the battle as soon as possible. He had been happily giving Tianyuan time to start the plan because he wanted to see Tianyuan pull off something big.

However, too much time cannot be given. If Tianyuan develops too much, then the combat experience he is looking forward to will probably turn into a one-sided crushing defeat.

"Before this, kid, I remember Tengen said that you could break free from the shackles and escape punishment, right? Tell me how you did it."

Su Nuo's words made Gojo Satoru, who had just chosen to entrust his trust due to constraints, suddenly sharpen his eyes. His sky-blue eyes locked onto Xia Jie again, and his gaze was like that of a homeroom teacher when he was a teenager, causing Xia Jie's forehead to bead with sweat.

"So even cursed spirits sweat? No, that's not important. What's important is why Biyang's Su Nuo keeps asking about things he shouldn't. Couldn't he have asked me in private? Now look what's happened, our allies are about to become enemies again."

Ah! I get it now, it must be the erosion of Heaven's Will from Tianyuan!

Damn it, Tengen is so wicked!

While cursing Tianyuan in his heart, Xia Jie didn't try to feign composure under Liu Yan's incredibly sharp eyesight, which was like a human microscope. He simply spread his hands, adopting an open and honest posture, and revealed part of his true nature with a mix of truth and lies:

"It's not a skill that can be taught to others. It's just that I have a natural resistance to restraint, and I can forcibly resist the punishment brought by violating the restraint at a small cost. That's all."

"Also, Mr. Gojo Satoru, if you have any doubts about what I said, you can call Shoko at any time to confirm. When Itadori and I entered the high school's barrier, we specifically registered our magical energy aura."

"It doesn't seem like you're lying."

Gojo Satoru stroked his chin, his drawn-out voice tinged with languor, before turning his head away from Xia Jie.

At least on the surface, that's the case.

But in reality, Gojo Satoru's eyes, possessing a 360-degree panoramic view,

It remained firmly fixed on Xia Jie, capturing his every subtle reaction.

The moment when one seems most relaxed and has seemingly passed the test is also the moment when one is most likely to slip up. Liars often unconsciously reveal a series of subtle facial expressions during this fleeting moment.

These subtle facial expressions, which are difficult for ordinary people to notice, are as dazzling as neatly arranged edamame-flavored kikufu on a shelf in the eyes of Gojo Satoru, who has six eyes.

"Tch, boring."

Seeing that the two hadn't started fighting, Su Nuo twisted his neck left and right, making a few cracking sounds from his joints, like a wild beast stretching its muscles.

at the same time,

Inside the Soul Passage.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this for real? First the soul portal, and now this pulling force from the mortal world—two unknowns I've been searching for for a thousand years have appeared in a single day?"

This is precisely what Lu Suo has been pursuing throughout his thousand-year life—"the black light shining in the chaos".

How happy he was now! Thinking this, Lu Suo watched as the pulling force slowly condensed into the shape of a hand in the void, reaching out to him as if extending some unknown invitation.

"It would be my great honor."

Lu Suo gladly accepted the invitation, letting that hand grasp her soul and drag her toward the chaotic and unknown other side.

He was willing to embrace anything unknown, whether it was a conspiracy or justice, despair or hope.

"Lu Suo, where are you, Lu Suo! Stop hiding, you can't escape. Once I catch you, I'll transform you into something even more pathetic than a maggot, and have you wait with me in the millstone for the soul of Hu Zhang to enter!"

Deep within the soul passage, the roar of the True Man grew louder as it approached. This passage, which should have been pure white and flawless, had now been completely distorted by the True Man's domain, transforming into a bizarre forest woven from countless overlapping, symmetrical, and stitched giant hands.

When the soul passage encountered Wuwei's transformation, he firmly held the home-field advantage and relentlessly pursued Lu Suo all the way to this place, just to avenge the deep-seated hatred for being killed in his previous life.

Unfortunately, Lu Suo's soul strength was quite formidable, and he couldn't capture him even after chasing him for a long time.

"Lu Suo?"

Where Lu Suo was pulled back to the human world, the real person, who could no longer sense Lu Suo's soul aura, was bewildered and stood there blankly.

So... they just went through the cycle of reincarnation like that?

Immediately, an overwhelming rage engulfed everything in his heart.

"Lusuo! I curse you! May you never have your wish fulfilled, for all eternity!"

In the human world, within an underground barrier on the outskirts of Tokyo, a bone-white brain with a mouth and teeth is emitting a hearty laugh.

"Haha, I can't believe something like this happened! Tianyuan, you did a great job, a really great job!"

With four eyes on its head and a frosty white complexion, Tianyuan calmly held up Lusuo's true form. On that face, which still barely maintained a human form but was no longer human, no emotion could be seen.

"All the barriers of the Star Palace have shattered, and my soul is overflowing. Before my ego is completely diluted by heaven and earth, I must complete my incarnation."

Tianyuan's hand began to slowly merge with Lusuo's body. The process of using Gaoyu's technique to pull the soul back to the mortal world and reshape the body was itself the best form of reconciliation.

Now, because Lu Suo's soul does not resist at all, assimilation is proceeding smoothly.

"Aren't you inside a body right now?"

Lu asked.

"This body has been unable to support my complete self since the beginning of my evolution twelve years ago. And the only body capable of supporting me as I am now is..."

"Demon Void?" As the assimilation deepened, Lu Suo, who gradually became in tune with Tian Yuan's mind, uttered the answer that Tian Yuan had in mind.

"Yes, only the shikigami who wields the Furu Ring can contain all of me."

"...So-called liberation is essentially no different from death. What's the difference between a soul that has been bleached to the extreme and a soul that has been cleansed by the soul channel? So you're just seeking death."

"I know that this death is for myself, and for humanity."

"Hahahaha..." Lu Suo laughed loudly amidst the pain of her body melting. Only at this moment did she truly understand the thoughts and feelings of this old enemy she had been entangled with for a thousand years. "So this is the kind of person you are. Why didn't you just say so earlier? I'd be willing to die to help you out with this much fun!"

"Hmph..." Tianyuan tightened his grip on Lu Suo in displeasure. "Human hearts are such complex things that sometimes even we ourselves can't see them clearly."

Today in the Hongxing Palace, a young man who claimed to be able to foresee the future told me...

According to the original future, I would have died at the hands of your spirit manipulation techniques. In that instant, I suddenly felt incredibly happy.

It was at that moment that I finally saw my own heart, which had long since rotted into mud.

But the joy was fleeting. That state might truly be considered death for a sorcerer, but for someone like me who possesses immortality...

That is not liberation.

The me that is neither alive nor dead,

They will sleep forever in darkness, awake yet in agony.

So I got scared, wanted to die, and came to you.

Tianyuan paused slightly, carefully considering his words, before continuing:

"My plan and your Great Cursed Spirit Plan can proceed simultaneously, so please help me, my most pathetic nemesis, please help me, my dearest old friend."

"Of course! Rather, I'd be more than happy to!" Even though his body was irreversibly melting, Lu Suo still responded with a smile, completely oblivious.

Time truly is something that can change everything, both for herself and for Tianyuan.

In the end, they all became the very thing they hated most when they were young.

"Leave me one eye open; I want to see the end."

Before being absorbed by Tianyuan, Lu Suo, who had almost completely melted and could no longer utter a single word, conveyed his final wish through the souls that were also beginning to merge.
