"Plop!"
Like something heavy falling into water.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of rippling water quickly disappeared, and Lin Shuguang's figure also vanished from this side courtyard in Nanshan Garden.
"You have connections here too?"
Who would have thought that beneath the ancient well in this courtyard, there was another world.
As soon as Lin Shuguang's figure passed through the ancient well, he arrived in a void. Not far opposite him was a man whose limbs were bound by the Chain of Karma.
It was the mysterious person he had encountered in the Central Continent before.
The radiance bursting from the Chain of Karma obscured the mysterious man's face, and just like last time, Lin Shuguang couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Then the man spoke, his tone carrying a hint of ease, "Congratulations, you've finally reached this stage. I assume your strength is no longer at the Core Realm like before. Not bad. Time has passed for too long, and I don't remember some things clearly, but it should be around this time."
The mysterious man looked at Lin Shuguang, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
In his impression, Lin Shuguang at this time shouldn't have such profound blood energy, but the years he had experienced were too long, and it was impossible for him to remember everything clearly.
It was roughly around the same time, and some things in his memory could correspond.
It was just the subtle differences he couldn't recall.
"May I ask your name?" Lin Shuguang asked, standing about five meters away.
The mysterious man paused, the chains on his arms rattling, and after a moment, he chuckled, "I almost forgot. You can call me Mo Shan."
"Mo Shan? As in, that Mo Shan?" Lin Shuguang was stunned.
He thought of Mo Shan, which he had visited during the State Selection in the Central Continent.
If he remembered correctly, it was when he equipped the Beast God Soul and unleashed a powerful ultimate move, which caused Mo Shan to shake and a nameless monster to descend. It crawled out of Mo Shan, and just one of its hands mercilessly crushed more than ten powerful figures from the Jade Void Palace and various other Sects.
So, were these two "Mo Shan" the same "Mo Shan"?
Lin Shuguang sized up the "Mo Shan" in front of him and after a long pause, hesitantly asked, "What exactly is your relationship with me?"
"Mo Shan" was silent for a moment. "Actually, none of that is important."
"Stop spouting nonsense," Lin Shuguang interrupted unceremoniously. "You just appeared out of nowhere before, and then told me so many things, and these things are happening one after another in reality. You tell me it's not important? Damn it, if I could beat you, I'd cut you down right now."
Lin Shuguang's temper flared.
The person who called himself "Mo Shan" on the opposite side didn't seem to mind, or perhaps he was used to it. Facing Lin Shuguang's curses, he pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the laws of this world will automatically conceal what I say. Lin Shuguang, although your cultivation is not high, you should understand the power of rules better.
You don't belong to this world, you don't even belong to this time and space..."
"Mo Shan" suddenly fell silent as he spoke.
Lin Shuguang guessed that the power of rules had appeared and blocked the rest of "Mo Shan's" words. He tried to look at "Mo Shan's" lips, but unfortunately, the radiance of the Chain of Karma completely obscured "Mo Shan's" entire face.
Lin Shuguang's blood energy surged, wanting to forcefully charge forward and shake off the radiance, but he found that his strength could not even elicit the slightest reaction from the Chain of Karma.
"Don't waste your energy. This Chain of Karma comes from the Heavenly Dao of this world. Unless your strength surpasses the will of the Heavenly Dao here, you can only stare helplessly," the mysterious person, "Mo Shan," spoke again. "I do have some connection with you, but the specifics involve the karma of the Heavenly Dao. Our connection will be considered a violation by the will of the Heavenly Dao here, so it will be automatically silenced when I speak... This description might be a bit crude, but it's the truth."
Lin Shuguang ignored him and continued to charge towards him, his martial arts confronting the Chain of Karma. After more than ten seconds, he had only moved one centimeter.
"Mo Shan" trembled with fright at Lin Shuguang's recklessness and couldn't help but try to persuade him, "Lin Shuguang, don't be impulsive. The more you stimulate the Chain of Karma, the more I will be the one to get hurt in the end. The Chain of Karma really hurts when it lashes out."
"What does that have to do with me?" Lin Shuguang asked with a cold face, his blood energy showing no signs of calming down, instead growing wildly!
The surrounding void seemed to be crushed by some force, constantly tearing the air.
"Mo Shan" felt his scalp tingle. "Lin Shuguang, Brother Lin, Ah Lin, I beg you..."
Lin Shuguang finally stopped. He had wanted to get closer to that guy, but the will of the Heavenly Dao in this place was too strong; he couldn't budge it at all.
In fact, through some of the guy's words during their conversation, he had already extracted useful information.
Among them, the person calling himself "Mo Shan" did not have accurate memories of some things. He even thought that Lin Shuguang was really working a nine-to-five job every day as he had mentioned before, and even went to seize some so-called opportunities.
This meant that Lin Shuguang's variable had truly arrived.
As long as his variable existed, it meant that his future actions would not be discovered by beings like "Mo Shan," and his trump cards would not be exposed.
But similarly, this "Mo Shan" could be seen as a precursor to the future. As long as he used him properly, he could gain more benefits for himself.
So, he paused, withdrew all his blood energy, and asked calmly, "Tell me the next trajectory."
"Mo Shan" breathed a sigh of relief. "I told you, I would never harm you. Harming you is harming myself. So I hope even more that you can become stronger. Since you can trigger this point in time, you must have met Ji Feng... Oh right, you can use this person. He's a bit foolish, but the Ji family is a big and powerful family. You can use him. In the future, the karma of the Heavenly Dao can be transferred to the Ji family..."
"If the karma is given to the Ji family, what will be their outcome?" Lin Shuguang asked casually.
"Mo Shan's" expression was indifferent. "Whatever the outcome, it has nothing to do with you, Lin Shuguang. You must always remember that you don't belong to this world. No matter who appears here, they have nothing to do with you..."
Lin Shuguang glanced at him calmly.
"Mo Shan" seemed to sense it and slowly said, "I know these words sound a bit cold-blooded, but this is the best way to protect you. You are incompatible with the Heavenly Dao here. When Eternal Night descends in the future, everything about you will be detected by the Heavenly Dao. At that time, the truth of your origin from a rebellious will will be perceived by the Heavenly Dao here.
The will of the Heavenly Dao of a rebellious world will not help you, so you will be alone and helpless here. At that time, the Heavenly Dao here will let its countless carefully cultivated powerhouses hunt you down, and the powerhouses of the Ji family will be no exception. At that time, you won't be able to trust anyone here. Thinking about it this way, do you still think the Ji family is innocent?"
Lin Shuguang fell silent. "Is there a way to break free? What does Eternal Night mean?"
From "Mo Shan's" words, it seemed that at some point, Eternal Night would descend, and at that time, he would be hunted by the will of the Heavenly Dao here.
"Damn it, this is trying to get me killed!"
"Demon Mountain" said calmly, "Eternal Night will be the darkest time in this world. The entire Totem Continent will fall into chaos. Those fools only have the dynasty in their eyes, unaware that the real chaotic times will spread across the entire continent…"
"Wait." Lin Shuguang suddenly heard deeper inside information, and his whole body felt unwell.
So, in order to cultivate, he was actually being forced to become an enemy of the world.
Taking a deep breath, "Damn it, I really want to kill you right now. Tell me, do you have any connection with that Guardian Supreme from Baojian Sect?"
"Guardian Supreme?" Demon Mountain's tone held a hint of suspicion. After a moment, he seemed to recall something, "I do remember that I did place a pawn in Baojian Sect back then. I suppose that's the person you're talking about."
Lin Shuguang frowned, "So, it was your idea to have me enter this world too?"
"No, no, no. Lin Shuguang, you think too dirtily of me." Demon Mountain denied it immediately. "In fact, this wasn't done by me, but by karma. Lin Shuguang, you have inherited karma and were born against fate. No single person can defy all of this. I'm only helping you so you can seize a sliver of opportunity early in this melee."
"Why help me? I want a real answer." Lin Shuguang was very calm.
"If you don't die, I won't die."
Demon Mountain spoke slowly.
Lin Shuguang raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and asked the most practical question, "How long until Eternal Night descends?"
"At least a month, at most three months. That's why I'm telling you to get stronger quickly. Remember, on the seventh day of the tenth month, go to the Imperial Capital's treasury. There will be a battle of powerhouses that day. You should take advantage of the chaos to raid the Great Gan Dynasty's treasury. It contains many pills. Take them quickly while you have the chance, don't stay long, and don't be greedy… You know the Void Chaos Art by now, right? Use that to escape when the time comes. Once you reach the Nirvana Realm, you might be able to snatch a sliver of opportunity."
"Opportunity? You've fallen to this point, are you sure that opportunity will be useful?" Lin Shuguang wasn't mocking him at all; he clearly didn't believe it.
Demon Mountain was stunned on the spot, even becoming somewhat angry and embarrassed. "It's easy for you to say. Do you know how many relationships are involved in this? Pulling one thread will affect the whole body. I've been treading on thin ice to finally calculate all of this."
Lin Shuguang pouted and spoke after a long pause, "The seventh day of the tenth month… that's not many days away. Are you saying I should leave the Black Prison?"
"There's nothing good about staying in the Black Prison. Except for Ji Wufeng, who is quite good and can be used, everyone else… Oh right, be careful of Sima Tingwei." Demon Mountain seemed to recall something, and his expression became somewhat complicated.
"Sima Tingwei? Why do you say that?"
