Chapter 26: The Unparalleled Demon Lord of the Dao!
The year 1957 marked the end of one era and the beginning of another.
That year, mortals discovered the last piece of land on Earth in Antarctica: Berkner Island.
The era of grand exploration of Earth has come to an end.
On October 4th of the same year, the Soviet Union successfully launched the first artificial Earth satellite in human history—
"Sputnik-1".
From the moment it left Earth, this metal sphere, weighing only 83.6 kilograms, marked the first step that mortals took into the universe.
The grand era of the space race has begun.
And without a doubt, a year with such significant causal events will inevitably lead to a battle of cause and effect!
However, this was different from the fierce and still unresolved battle of cause and effect that occurred in 1939.
This battle of cause and effect is entirely a one-man show by the Demon Lord of the Unprincipled Law.
Some of the powerful cultivators who decided to participate in the war had their magic sealed by Gao Haoguang, Hai Shan, and Hu Dasheng before the war even began.
This makes it impossible to intervene in this battle of cause and effect today.
The other group gathered together to learn why Gao Haoguang was called the Demon Lord of the Unprincipled Law!
Above Chulatam, Gao Haoguang, who had just finished this battle of cause and effect, did not rush to choose the future or pick the fruit of all deeds that suited his wishes.
Of course, he did not, for the time being, invest a large number of the same-time-changing talismans into the Fruit of Myriad Causes to distribute the fortune of the supernatural world to the mortal world and establish cause and effect, as he had done last time.
This wasn't because he changed his mind, but rather because he had more important things to do during this time of uncertainty—
"Wang Baxianjun, you really know how to cause trouble. I was planning to make some more preparations before entering the fake world to wait for the final day."
"Of all times, you want me to take a risk?"
Gao Haoguang held the letter that Jiang Mingzi had buried somewhere, instructing him to try to interfere in the eleventh war of cause and effect.
He sighed helplessly.
When was the last time I saw Wang Baxianjun through the [Same Month Order]?
I've almost forgotten.
But since he specifically buried this letter later and gave it to his now accomplished self, there must have been a reason for it.
But... how about going back in time and facing Lü Buyi during the eleventh war of cause and effect?
He recalled the scene from his youth when the nameless master of the pavilion and the master of Haizhengfeng Island almost had their heads twisted off by that figure in a single encounter.
Gao Haoguang felt a bit of a headache, but there was nothing he could do. He had to help Wang Baxianjun no matter how difficult it was.
Not to mention, if what the letter says is true, then if this attempt to change the past succeeds—
Perhaps all industries will disappear completely because of this, and there will be no need to fight for any final day.
Before Xiao Hai and Da Sheng started their battle, they had already gone to find the other two items left behind by the Turtle Immortal.
Judging by the time, they should be back by now, right?
Before his thoughts had even settled, Hu Dasheng's signature voice drifted over from afar.
"Is it over, Xiao Gao?"
"Xiao Hai and I have found what you mentioned: a powerful magical talisman whose function is unclear, and a fruit of myriad karma left behind from some unknown karmic war..."
"Was this really left behind by the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Eternal World?"
"What exactly did he leave behind for you to do?"
Tiger Rope was still full of questions and inquiries as always.
But it wasn't too bad, at least this time she didn't accidentally pull down his pants as soon as she came over and then call him a perverted little Gao.
Gao Haoguang covered his face: "How can I answer so many questions all at once? Can you ask them one by one?"
"You, you, you, Xiao Gao, how dare you talk back to me, the master of this establishment! I've decided to ignore you for not a second!"
I didn't mean any harm to you...
However, although that's what he thought in his heart, Gao Haoguang didn't say it out loud.
He just sighed again, then turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
Gao Haoguang's gaze lingered on Haishan, who seemed quite reliable beside Hu Dasheng, and he asked softly:
"Are you sure you've received everything, and nothing's missing?"
Hai Shan tilted his head: "Brother Hao Guang, you don't believe me, Big Head?"
"No, it's just that this matter is of great importance, and I can't afford to be careless."
Gao Haoguang reached out and took the ten Three True Bright Child Talismans from Hai Shan and the Myriad Fruits of Industry handed over by Hu Dasheng.
After confirming that there were no problems, he took the initiative to speak to the two of them:
"Once all this is over, whether it succeeds or not, I'm afraid I'll have to enter the fake world immediately to receive the punishments."
"Therefore, this may be the last time the three of us see each other—"
"So, if you two have any questions, ask them one by one now."
Hai Shan and Hu Dasheng rarely saw Gao Haoguang looking so serious and focused.
And according to him, it was the last time they met?
Now?
Although the heart of the machine is already struggling, shouldn't it theoretically still be able to hold on for a while longer?
Only then did the two realize the seriousness of the situation, and even the usually impulsive Hu Dasheng quieted down.
After careful consideration, Hai Shan asked the first and most important question:
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
"Or rather, what does that Immortal Lord of All Worlds want you to do?"
Gao Haoguang answered without hesitation: "Change the past."
"The Turtle Immortal Lord hopes that I can try to change the outcome of the eleventh war of cause and effect."
"If it succeeds, then perhaps the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Affairs will disappear—"
"What a joke!" Before he could finish speaking, Hu Dasheng interrupted Gao Haoguang and grabbed his arm.
Even when Gao Haoguang just said that this might be their last meeting, she wasn't this anxious.
"Change the past that has already been witnessed? Isn't the Immortal Lord sending you to your death?!"
"The law of causality pays the most attention to moments when cause and effect are already determined; if you are not careful, you will immediately be..."
Gao Haoguang reached out and placed his hand on Hu Dasheng's head, stopping her from saying what she was about to say and making her turn her head away, blushing.
"If it were another kind of causal conflict, then it would indeed be as you say."
"But the eleventh war of cause and effect is different."
Hai Shan raised his head: "I would like to hear the details."
"According to Wang Baxianjun, Lü Buyi probably made a large-scale alteration to reality at the end of that battle, which is why they forgot everything about that battle."
"It wasn't until decades later, when the sleeping Lü Buyi was resurrected in his era, and after being exposed by his battle with Wang Baxianjun due to the relationship between Zhao Yan and Shangguan Xiao, that he remembered the culprit behind it all."
Hai Shan roughly understood: "So, the entire process of the eleventh war of cause and effect was actually unknown to anyone—"
"The conclusion that the Three Truths failed was only inferred from the fact that all industries still exist."
Hu Dasheng also understood the meaning: "Therefore, the history before Lü Buyi's large-scale alteration of reality, where the cause and effect were uncertain, can be interfered with, because no one really knows what happened!"
Gao Haoguang nodded, affirming their idea.
"That's right, this is the meaning of the letter that Wang Baxianjun left for me in Dacheng."
"The odds of winning on the final day are hard to say, but if we can intervene in the eleventh war of cause and effect and seize the opportunity to win, we can destroy the Myriad Corpse Immortals—"
"Then on the final day, all things may collapse without a fight."
The Demon Lord of the Unprincipled Way gently stroked the Three True Mingzi Talisman and the Fruit of Myriad Karmas that Jiang Mingzi had specially left in his hand.
"Doing this is dangerous—"
"But whether it's to eliminate all industries or to achieve a better future."
"These are the best opportunities ever!"
"Therefore, I cannot refuse to get involved, much less let hope slip away."
"At this moment when cause and effect are uncertain, Gao will surely change the past and foresee the future!"
