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

"The energy level has stabilized? Sigh, things are never that simple."

Almost as soon as Xia Jie finished adapting, the man sighed, looked directly at Xia Jie, and spoke, his tone filled with obvious disappointment.

"Phew, before we officially begin, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Sayer, I am 747 years old, and my hobby is studying 21st-century antiquities."

Xia Jie's eyes narrowed slightly. Although she no longer needed oxygen breathing, her chest still rose and fell slowly in space.

Matter determines consciousness, and human nature is strongly bound to the human body structure.

Living like a human being is one of the main ways he maintains his humanity after transcending the human form.

"Xia Jie, a human from another world, is younger than you if you don't count sleep time. Her hobbies are fighting, getting stronger, and doing silly things."

"Well then, Mr. Xia, let me give you a little heads-up: the end of human civilization is not the 45th century, but the 62nd century."

Even the standard star map I've presented isn't the end of the 45th century. Shouldn't we consider surrendering?"

Click—!

"Quite confident, Sayer, but your future civilization seems to have made a mistake in one thing, which is—"

You are the challengers!

Even without air as a medium, the two still managed to complete their final pre-battle exchange.

"A challenger... huh? That sounds good."

The projection vanished in an instant, replaced by a violent distortion of spacetime.

Centered on Xia Jie, a supermassive black hole with a mass comparable to that of a supercluster was born.

Within the event horizon of the black hole, Xia Jie is rapidly falling towards the singularity, which has an infinitely small volume and infinitely large density.

As one of the most extreme physical events in the universe, not only can light not escape, but even spacetime will come to an end here.

This is a "black hole," a physical miracle caused by pure mass.

"Even Jiang Mingzi's 'Minor Hun Tian Borrowing Treasure Technique' can create a smaller version of this thing, so what use is it to me? It can't possibly have a death sentence, can it?"

Xia Jie used her causal vision to observe the singularity in front of her. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she directly transformed into causal karma and escaped from the black hole along the causal chain that transcends time and space.

A mere black hole is not worth him wasting a single ounce of his energy on.

He's not Diavolo, who would frantically breathe on a powerless Stand and suffer the consequences of his own ignorance.

The next moment, Xia Jie, who had escaped, saw the familiar solar system, and behind her was a miniature black hole that had shrunk countless times and seemed to be about to evaporate completely due to Hawking radiation.

"Oh no! I've been tricked!"

Lao Xia immediately wanted to escape from the "present time and space", but found that the standard creation star map was still open, and the power of the forbidden law was completely concentrated on him, making his speed of activating the law slow down by a full 0.1 seconds.

"Oh no, we're doomed."

Xia Jie from the Solar System was not happy to see this, because he had figured out the scheme of the researcher Sayer.

Contrary to Xia Jie's initial speculation, the Standard Star Chart had no ability to shield causal perception, and the communicative Sayer projection was not being manipulated by a real person, but rather by a more advanced AI.

What actually happened was that, although Xia Jie slightly shifted the spacetime point in the time dimension.

The location of the descent remains the same, but the time of descent is pushed back from "before the solar system was replaced" to "after the solar system was replaced".

However, the "time" in Xia Jie's eyes and the "time" in the eyes of future people are never the same concept.

Xia Jie's timeline is a "God's-eye view," or a "reader's-eye view" narrative timeline. In Xia Jie's eyes, the appearance of the "artificial solar system" occurs "after" the "real solar system" is swallowed up.

For the Future Federation, which is in a similar situation to the "lower-level narrative" and relies on the "NPC perspective" to observe the world, both the artificial solar system and the original solar system will exist on the final day of 2025.

In the timeline of the Sun and Moon Universe, the two events occur simultaneously and in the same place. In other words, Xia Jie's act of altering the time of arrival has no effect on the Federation!

Therefore, the Federation's adherence to the old coordinates and its passive waiting for the opportunity to come to pass, due to the difference in the nature of the two timelines, unexpectedly succeeded perfectly.

It's a case of the process being wrong but the answer being correct; it was just pure luck.

Then, the Federation took the correct second step, wrapping the coordinates with the standard creation star map and accelerating time within it at an extremely high speed.

This move effectively deceived Xia Jie, making him mistakenly believe that the Federation had the ability to shield itself from causality, which is why it dared to do such a world-changing thing to the past.

However, Xia Jie was wrong in three aspects of her judgment at the time.

Firstly, the creation chart that can suppress the law is not obscuring the perception of causality, but rather disrupting Xia Jie's perception.

Therefore, even though it was already locked in by the law of causality, Xia Jie failed to notice it in time.

Secondly, the punishment of causality is actually on its way, but Xia Jie is in the process of time acceleration, so because no punishment has come after "tens of seconds" of communication, she mistakenly believes that causality can be deceived by the Star Chart.

In reality, only 0.00001 seconds had passed in the outside world.

Before Xia Jie arrived, Sayer, this trigger-based AI projection, had been waiting in the unfolded Star Chart for an extremely long time.

Thirdly, the Creation Star Chart did not attempt to change the world; it was not that it was incapable, but rather that it was limited by the law of causality.

From the outside, the unfolded star map is invisible and only covers an area with a radius of three meters centered on the coordinates.

The purpose is to make the rigid law of causality less of a burden for the future Federation's Star Map operators.

Even so-called supermassive black holes are actually smaller than atoms in the eyes of the outside world.

The sole purpose of this black hole is to further disrupt Xia Jie's perception through the spacetime effects that also contain the power of forbidden magic within.

This prevented Xia Jie from immediately noticing the fluctuations indicating the end of "time acceleration" and the causal punishment that was about to touch her face.

At this moment, Xia Jie, whose escape had been delayed by a full 0.1 seconds, knew that he could no longer escape the lock of punishment.

Destruction came in an instant.

An invisible and intangible force of elimination enveloped her entire body, wiping out Xia Jie inch by inch.

For this mosquito that repeatedly licked its face and couldn't be killed no matter how hard it was swatted, the law of causality used its full power for the first time!

This time, the punishment is no longer a "cosmic-scale causal punishment" where power stops at eliminating the observable universe.

Rather, it is the punishment of the "universe" with infinite power!

What's even more special is that the current punishment of elimination is a punishment that evolved from the provocations of countless metacosmic madmen and cosmic summer mustards, and can restrain and eliminate causal resistance to a certain extent.

Since the causal punishment has evolved, the resistance of the crazy people has changed from a perfect shield that rejects all external forces to an eggshell that can be easily cracked.

In other words, did causality win?

"I originally intended to hold onto this as a trump card, but this penalty was definitely worth it."

Amidst the power of elimination, Xia Jie, whose limbs were disappearing, chose to play her card in time.

"I make a vow to atone for this punishment."

Don't forget, Xia Jie's wish count will be restored every time she returns to the Challenge Space!
