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

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 she mistakenly believes that causality can be obscured by the Star Chart because no punishment has come after "tens of seconds" of communication.

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 map 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" that stops at eliminating the observable universe.

Rather, it is the "cosmic" punishment 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 madmen has changed from a perfect shield that rejects all external forces to an eggshell that can be easily broken.

In other words, did causality win?

"I originally intended to keep it 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 offset this punishment.”

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

Chapter 85 Enemy is not enemy, friend is not friend

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 "limitless" power.

Desires born of "finite" circumstances, no matter how high their 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 a dead end, 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 its resistances and affinities, with the standard star map'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 creation star map, 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 come, just as expected!"

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

They did everything they could 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 star maps that had been fully deployed around her, reversing the laws of causality and imposing a "forbidden spell".

"666, this thing can actually be mass-produced, how sneaky?"

Xia Jie understood three things.

Firstly, the standard Star Chart can be mass-produced.

Secondly, like his own causal supernatural power, the causal law itself has not yet escaped the category of "law" and can still be restricted by a sufficient number of creation star 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 in the past to change the "present," it was already 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. His appearance was completely different from the projection that Xia Jie had encountered.

It's obvious that the projected image and character design were entirely prepared to stall for time and elicit empty talk; apart from the real face, everything else was a carefully crafted result.

The year 2025, the solar system.

After Xia Jie, who had already transformed into a standard 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 are Xia Jie, right?"

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

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 created a light and shadow image of herself 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 built 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 Federation's 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.
