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

Wishes have weight.

The mechanism of making wishes in the kobi system is very simple: the greater one's karma, the greater the wish one can make.

Is Xia Jie's cause and effect great? It is extremely great. For ordinary people, this unquantifiable cause and effect is no different from the infinite.

But what Xia Jie is about to face is true "infinite" power.

Desires born of "finite" circumstances, no matter how high the conversion rate, cannot completely offset the "infinite" nature of causality.

Xia Jie speculated that even the remaining power would be enough to severely injure him in his prime.

Not to mention, this version of myself, weakened by the standard Star Chart, is no longer at its peak. How could I possibly withstand the earth-shattering punishment that even my peak self could not bear?

Therefore, the only way is to take a shortcut, to use minimal effort to achieve maximum effect.

What is not widely known is that Xia Jie, who possessed all of Kyubey's knowledge, could actually make a wish in her heart without speaking it aloud.

Just as future humans will lead Xia Jie to her doom, Xia Jie's statement of "offsetting this punishment" is not the true nature of her wish.

Unlike blowing out candles on a birthday, where your wish won't come true if you say it out loud, it's always good to be able to lie a little.

My real wish is actually:

"I will replace the core of my soul, along with all my resistances and affinities, with the standard creation chart's operating system in a way that is sufficient to evade causality."

As long as his soul remains, the combined power of the three systems will be inexhaustible, allowing him to preserve most of his strength.

Thus, at the cost of sacrificing all cause and effect, Xia Jie used all her resistance to refuse the possibility of failure.

My wish has been fulfilled.

Xia Jie has now become the spirit of the standard Star Chart, and the fake body he left behind after his escape will disappear in the punishment.

Just as he replaced the witness with a puppet body, he will once again deceive the law of causality!

Using the observation structure of the Star Chart, Xia Jie watched as the false "self" gradually turned into nothingness under the punishment.

"They've arrived!"

As the spirit of the standard Star Chart, Xia Jie received operational instructions from the future—

I will do everything I can to help Xia Jie share as much of the punishment as possible.

Upon receiving the instruction, Xia Jie also observed tens of thousands of standard creation maps that had been fully deployed around her, reversing the laws of causality and imposing "forbidden spells".

"Wow, this thing can actually be mass-produced? That's so sneaky!"

Xia Jie understood three things.

Firstly, the standard StarMap can be mass-produced.

Secondly, like his own causal supernatural power, the causal law itself has not yet escaped the scope of "law" and can still be restricted by a sufficient number of creation charts.

Thirdly, the Federation wants him. He is to the Federation what the throne is to Hu Hai, money is to Valmont, friends are to Minecraft, voice acting is to City Superman, and a talent scout is to a thoroughbred horse.

It can truly be said that a chance encounter amidst the stagnant mountains and foul waters is better than countless encounters in the human world.

As we all know, Xia Jie is a human from another world. For future human civilization, Xia Jie is not an enemy that needs to be eliminated, but a unique case.

Furthermore, a complete, living copy is far more valuable than a fragmented, dead copy.

The "slicing" method, which is very common in fantasy works, is mostly an exaggerated fallacy.

Therefore, what the Federation wants in the future is not annihilation, but complete control.

If it weren't for existing observation records, personality profiling, and exhaustive computer deduction confirming that Xia Jie had no possibility of being under control,

In other words, the Federation does not want to go to war with Xia Jie because nothing works—no amount of honesty, moral blackmail, Japanese-style threats, or even any non-military means that can be thought of.

The Federation has made full preparations for this battle, striving to leave no stone unturned.

But the Federation still miscalculated; they severely underestimated the determination of the Law of Causality to erase Xia Jie.

Even more unexpectedly, the Star Chart containing Xia Jie went out of control and actively helped the Law of Causality resist the forbidden power from the outside.

"Haha, you want my body? No way!"

In just a moment, Xia Jie's body was completely destroyed by the punishment.

Now, even if the Federation wanted to invest more resources into the past to change the "present," it would be too late.

Because this is the outcome determined by the law of causality itself, trying to interfere with time using the same methods of causality will only result in more punishment and will not have any effect.

"Chief, what do we do now?"

"Grasp that out-of-control, Dharma-ending universe; the real Xia Jie should still be inside."

Year ? ? ?

Inside a cosmic bubble independent of the physical universe's timeline, in the central control room of the Federation's technological weapons, a dozen neatly dressed future people completed a brief, incredibly fast exchange via brain-computer interface.

The last seat in the image bears a striking resemblance to the projection, clearly belonging to Sayer.

Sayer in the control room was neat and tidy, with a solemn expression, and did not look sloppy at all. He was completely different from the projection that Xia Jie had encountered in terms of mental appearance.

It's obvious that the projected image and character design were prepared entirely to stall for time and get rid of empty talk. Apart from the face being real, everything else was a carefully designed result.

The year 2025, the solar system.

After Xia Jie, who had already transformed into a standard creation star map, closed up, the projection of "Sayer" reappeared in the starry sky within her body.

The questioning voice appeared almost simultaneously with the light and shadow.

"You're Xia Jie, aren't you?"

"So what if it is?" The grand, boundless voice echoed through the starry space.

"What do you think is the essence of supernatural powers?"

Sayer took off his glasses, and the gleam in his eyes was quite similar to that of Shi Liulong, who was craving dessert.

The AI ​​Sayer, equipped with a professional chat module and Xia Jie's personality analysis data, piqued Xia Jie's interest in communicating with just two sentences.

"It's science."

While shrinking her body and creating a miniature wormhole to escape the "present," Xia Jie also sculpted her own image of light and shadow in the starry sky inside her body, allowing her to communicate with the AI ​​Sayer.

"Then what is the essence of science?" Sayer pressed.

"I believe that science is the study of exploring the world; it is a standardized and verifiable system of knowledge that humanity has established in order to understand the world."

Xia Jie dodged several black hole encirclements created by the Star Chart and answered the question with distraction.

"Very insightful. So, why do you believe that supernatural powers are scientific?"

Sayer transformed his glasses into the Three Truths and Ten Thousand Laws Sword. Although it was a virtual projection, the light in his eyes grew even brighter.

"Existence is its own justification, and justification is science. Since supernatural powers exist, they must conform to the great principles of reality."

The scientific path that ignores supernatural powers is undoubtedly narrow-minded.

The methods of supernatural powers are the dark clouds that the edifice of science must overcome.

Otherwise, science would not be able to develop a complete unified theory.

As Xia Jie spoke, she took the Myriad Laws Sword and transformed it into a bouquet of flowers.

"What you said is actually the consensus of the federal scientific community, but our research on the supernatural world has encountered extremely strong resistance, which is why human civilization stagnated in the 62nd century."

With your intelligence, you should be able to immediately understand the source of the resistance.

"The law of cause and effect?"

"Yes.

Causality itself is the underlying rule of the universe, but this causal will that brings punishment is not.

It was born from a failed experiment. In the future, when human civilization was developing a causal weapon, it accidentally triggered multiple iterations of the timeline.

The resulting spacetime anomaly is—”

Sayer deliberately dragged out the tone.

"Is it the law of causality?"

Xia Jie asked.

"No, it is the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries."

The out-of-control first-generation causality weapon became Laplace's demon, which traverses time and space and is omnipresent.

That is, the law of causality that governs the current universe after its iterations.

"That can't be right, wasn't the Myriad Corpse Immortal born from the accumulated errors of those with the supernatural power of causality?"

"This is the cause of birth that the Myriad Corpse Immortal wrote for itself, not its original cause of birth."

You must understand that the world of supernatural powers exists because of all kinds of karma. If there were no karma, how could there be supernatural powers that accumulate errors in the law of cause and effect?

While it's true that all industries can produce results before their causes, that's a capability they acquire after they are born.

Before His birth, He could not determine the cause and effect of His birth through the concept of cause preceding effect.

"So, you guys are the ones who created Wanye?"

"No, it was indirectly created by humans from the original future. The current human civilization is already a product of iterations."

"Didn't they consider the consequences of experimental failure when they were developing causal weapons?"

"Well……"

Sayer paused for a moment, which was unusual, before continuing:

"The first generation of researchers chose to trust the wisdom of their descendants, but after they died in interstellar wars, their successors who restarted the experiments chose to trust the wisdom of their ancestors."
