"A hallucination? A supernatural power of causality? Ha! Look at this madman's reaction... it's real!"

Huang, who had defeated fifteen powerful cultivators with a single blow, noticed a subtle discrepancy in his memory before proceeding with his planned attack on the Longevity Master.

"What? You said there were two Myriad Corpse Immortals just now?" Hai Shan looked at the fluorescent blue Dharma Branch that was gesturing back and forth in front of him, and for the first time in his life, he doubted whether he had misheard what the Great Talent of Immortality had said.

If Da Cai is telling the truth...

"Damn it!" Hai Shan felt that humanity's hope of conquering all things was becoming increasingly slim.

On the field, due to the limitations of the law of cause and effect, the Myriad Corpse Immortal, who had been waiting and sleeping, dared not awaken too much consciousness. He also raised his head from the golden ball of light and used his instincts to sense the cause and effect of the past and present, anxiously searching for Xia Jie's whereabouts.

That person just now was His hope in completely breaking free from the shackles of cause and effect!

Huang, Changsheng Dacai, and Wanye Shixian were the only three high-ranking beings on the battlefield of the war of cause and effect who remembered that the protagonist had been there after Xia Jie disappeared.

However, apart from Wanye, the other two will soon forget Xia Jie, because the law of causality will erase all memories that violate the law of causality.

Just like Gao Haoguang couldn't remember the talismanic knowledge passed down from his future self.

Even if ordinary people survive to witness the Battle of Cause and Effect, they will remember nothing, only the extreme fear remaining in their hearts, and they will not even need to use the memory-erasing stone.

This is also the reason why Xia Jie hates the law of causality the most: no matter how amazing his pre-battle declaration is, it will eventually be forgotten under the correction of the law of causality.

It's like not allowing salt in a sumptuous meal, which really dampens his enthusiasm as a diner.

After all, if it weren't for the thrill of battle and the desire to become a god, who would come up and fight the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Causes right away?

If he really wanted to be a rabbit head, wouldn't it be better for Xia Jie to go to Witch's Night and make a wish to Cupid instead of dying more than 20,000 times to build up his karmic resistance?

Endless wishes, endless rewinds.

After 20,000 times, he'll have already mastered the law of circularity. When he enters the arena, he'll be hit by the laws of karma and causality, leaving him with no combat experience whatsoever.

Xia Jie doesn't honestly use cheat codes; he deliberately employs these most entertaining tactics just to make the challenges more challenging, right?

If he were to use cheats so much that he'd drool over them, his challenge space would become the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Space.

Beyond reality, Xia Jie opened her eyes; more accurately, she opened the observation window connecting her extraterrestrial self with the outside world.

Thus, Xia Jie was able to witness it.

A giant golden tree rose from the boundless void, its thousands of branches extending freely, at the ends supporting golden spherical fruits swirling with clouds.

"As I expected, Schrödinger's version of myself successfully arrived at the dream of the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries."

Xia Jie stood on the giant golden branch and cast her gaze down into the void.

All the branches converged at the base of the giant tree, forming an enormous golden fruit, and within that fruit…

This is the phantom of Earth in 2025, the future determined by all things through cause and effect!

"The final dream that has not yet been completed."

Xia Jie flew down and lightly touched the tiny star-shaped notch on the outer wall of the fruit with her finger.

He knew that this gap was a miracle created by the combined efforts of the Demon Lord of the Unprincipled Laws "Gao Haoguang", the Story King "Duan Xinglian", the Immortal of Stealing Karma "Chen", and the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Eternal World "Jiang Mingzi" in the final battle of cause and effect, turning defeat into victory.

But the so-called miracle is nothing more than a seemingly free, yet ultimately predetermined, fateful miracle in this pre-written story of cause and effect.

Free will is real, and so is the predetermined future. The simultaneous existence of the past, present, and future means that the world has already calculated everything.

Each person's life is but a film reel in motion; death is predetermined at birth.

Yesterday is the past of today, today is the past of tomorrow, and tomorrow is the past of the day after tomorrow. Humanity has never truly arrived in the future.

All the wonderful and tragic stories, all the living people, are like mosquitoes flapping their wings in vain within a semi-solidified amber of cause and effect.

The true randomness of quantum mechanics bows down to the causal law that governs all phenomena, and all free will can only occur within the scope permitted by causality.

A worldview based on causal determinism. Einstein's firm belief that "God does not play dice" is actually true in this world.

This living law of cause and effect differs from the objective law of cause and effect in Xia Jie's hometown; it is ultimate fatalism.

In a sense, Huang's desire to "trample all living people into an eternal cage called Wanye, making all living beings eternal slaves" has been realized.

Because the law of cause and effect is a more powerful and harmless Myriad Corpse Immortal.

However, this obsessed god does not care about human happiness and suffering, but only loves the rational brilliance emanating from the wise among humankind.

He is more like an objective law than God, and more like God than an objective law.

Xia Jie hated everything that was destined to happen.

As a complete extraterrestrial demon with a heart full of love, he desires to inherit Fang Yuan's great ambition, shatter fate, and return destiny to all living beings. He longs to witness the unpredictable stage of destiny!

Xia Jie remembered that in the last chapter of the Sun & Moon manga, a seeker of the Dharma said that defeating the law of causality was very simple—

If we can find a scientific path in reality that surpasses the scientific paths pioneered by ancient and modern sages like Kepler, Galileo, and Newton, we can defeat the law of causality.

If you were someone whose intelligence surpassed the sum of the wisdom of all the wise men of the past and present, then it would surely be very simple, right? But Xia Jie is not.

So... admit defeat? Acknowledge your worthless thinking, and go gather karmic threads to make a wish to Cupid?

Ah, don't forget. Although Xia Jie is not a wise man who can reach the will of Heaven with a human heart, he is the most supreme being in the world!

"It's simple, I'll just become 'real reality'!" With that, Xia Jie's domineering ambition was no longer concealed and was revealed!

As long as he can become the universe itself, those problems such as spacetime structure, causality, and destiny will no longer be problems!

But before that, he must first surpass the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Realms, and then...

He, Xia Jie, is going to use an incredibly ruthless trick to tell the law of cause and effect—that there is no such thing as a counterfeit that is necessarily inferior to the original!

Xia Jie activated the memory technique, focusing all her efforts on memorizing the final dream, and then reproduced it one by one in her body outside the boundary.

Xia Jie's cursed blood body decomposed into golden causal threads, which, guided by memory techniques, wove into a virtual Earth.

This is—the Earth, without cause or effect!

Following Xia Jie's will, this Earth, which had broken free from the law of causality, slowly began to rotate in reverse, and the scenery within it also receded accordingly.

The collapsed buildings were restored to their original state, the mortals who had been drained of their life force by the corpse regained their vitality, rain fell from the sky, and birds flew back to their nests.

The reversal is happening faster and faster.

Birds shrunken their wings and retreated to their eggs; the old man, his white hair turned black, regained his youth. Cell phones grew thicker, trees thinner, buildings shorter; the tides of time were reversed by one person.

Speed ​​up again.

Cities disappeared, forests returned, and humans moved back to caves and burrows. Full grains became shriveled and tiny, and thousands of years of civilization's accumulation vanished in Xia Jie's dream.

The crocodile, however, hasn't changed much.

Speed ​​up again.

Dogs have returned to their wild nature, hunting in the fields and woodlands. Humans, who once fought giant elephants in the snow and ice with spears, have grown long and thick hair, and with hunched backs, have returned to the treetops.

The crocodile hasn't changed much.

Faster!

Birds shrink their wings into claws, shed their downy feathers as their bodies grow larger, and use their beaks, which turn back into huge mouths, to hunt in the increasingly tall forests.

The Crocodile Uncles, who have been using the factory settings, haven't changed much.

Even faster!

The continents that had drifted in the sea came together again, and then the ocean disappeared, and the azure world turned into a primordial lava hell.

The arrow of time flew back to the bow, just as Hao Guang's false world became a reversed past.

"This is the beginning..."

Xia Jie's consciousness was somewhat exhausted. Not only was he in a virtual Earth avatar, but he had also arrived at the real, primitive Earth.

Then Xia Jie closed his eyes, letting his Dharma body sink into the Earth's core, beginning his long, 4.6 billion-year-long slumber underground.

His Dharma body will gradually grow stronger and transform from the illusory to the real under the nourishment of the cause and effect of the evolution of all things.

His subconscious will accumulate causal resistance at a rate of one strand every three days during his dormancy.

After this long dream, which lasted 46 billion years and approximately 5600 billion "3-day" periods, comes to an end, he will awaken with 5600 billion strands of causal resistance, beginning the metamorphosis of the summer cicada.

When the real Earth returns to the present day of human civilization in 2025, Xia Jie will offer up his fully realized Dharma body to replace the real Earth with the causal universe.

At that time, Xia Jie will become the 'Alaya' symbolizing the collective will of mankind, the 'Gaia' of Earth's celestial consciousness, and the 'causality' itself of Earth.

Then, having united all intelligent observers in the universe, he will initiate the causal incineration.

But Xia Jie's plan might go smoothly, yet it's also unlikely that it will.

"Although the law of causality is rigid, it is by no means stupid. During this period, the part of my consciousness that is not asleep must stir up the real world and divert attention from causality."

The first, second, and third things I originally set out to do, I'll leave to those "me"s.

I am me... I am still me!
