A way to turn the tables?
At those words, everyone looked utterly bewildered.

It was precisely because I had Jialan take the Immortal Pill that Jialan existed in the future. And precisely because I met Jialan in the future that, after returning here, I had her take the Immortal Pill... The chaos in Chang'an was like this, and Yaochi was the same!

Because only by linking cause and effect into a loop could it be completely concealed, allowing it to escape the Key of Doors' observation!
Jialan swallowing the pill was not predestined, nor was the establishment of the Evil Suppression Department... They only seemed unchangeable because, at a certain point in time, I used the power of causality to forcibly knead these events into loops. They began because of me and ended because of me—just as I concealed my own causality, I concealed this period of history.
