Lin Yu: These guys all seem to take privacy seriously (pulls out the Ancient Notebook)
"Emperor".
The leader of the "Copper Furnace".
Although Lin Yu had been searching for his trail, for traces of this organization's activities, and for evidence of its existence...
However, for Lin Yu, his meeting with the "Emperor" should not have turned out this way.
Or...
He never imagined that he would one day personally face the "emperor".
In Lin Yu's view, he must have worked hard to investigate and uncover Spider Silk about "Copper Furnace," first identifying one or two of its Copper Furnace members, then finding its Copper Furnace within "Order," and finally finding its undercover Copper Furnace in other organizations. He then instigated "Order" and other organizations to attack "Copper Furnace." Although the emperor was aware of his presence, he was too busy to deal with him personally and could only send one or two skilled individuals he could handle to deal with him...
Okay, okay, maybe the process wasn't so smooth.
But at this moment... he absolutely shouldn't have met the "Emperor" so easily!
It's like the prologue hasn't even finished yet; the hero is still in the village crafting a "simple leather breastplate" in preparation for going to the eastern forest to kill two wild boars when he turns around and finds the Demon King already above the Village.
If this is a work of fiction, what kind of psychologically twisted author would come up with such a setting?
If this is due to "Destiny," then Lin Yu fully understands why Lin Zhao wanted to kill the Deity who controlled "Destiny."
But whatever happened...
The fact is...
Completely unprepared, he "encountered" the leader of the "Copper Furnace," the "Emperor," whose strength was immeasurable and whose abilities were unknown!
And...
Lin Yu had already sensed the Killing Intent emanating from the other party.
Although this is within the Karma Threads Illusion I constructed, and the other party is not the real person, but merely a past illusion existing based on "Karma".
However, Lin Yu could clearly sense the undeniable power emanating from his opponent.
Now, gazing upon him within this Karma Threads Illusion, is none other than the undisputed will of the "Emperor" himself!
It's unclear when it started, but he had already locked himself in through this "past Karma," and had his will descend into this Karma Threads Illusion.
At the same time...
Along with his will came "Divine Power".
The golden, radiant figure stood up and spread its five fingers in Lin Yu's direction.
"Deceitful and treacherous to the emperor... must be executed without mercy!"
He then swung his outstretched arm down heavily—with this movement, Lin Yu also felt his soul and life begin to "dissipate" and "wither" uncontrollably.
The soul and life that clearly belonged to them seemed to no longer prioritize their own "will," but instead followed the words of the "emperor" before them.
Even...
Because this "emperor's" words can even contradict objective facts.
After all, how can someone's soul and life simply vanish because of a single sentence?
Even if they had already anticipated this, knowing that the "Emperor" might actually possess the ability to directly harm them, or even endanger their lives, even through the Karma Threads Illusion.
But after experiencing it firsthand, especially after the other party accomplished it with such a casual remark, Lin Yu couldn't help but be shocked.
"Truly impressive... No wonder he's called the 'Emperor'!"
Lin Yu murmured to himself, then looked up at the emperor.
The emperor noticed Lin Yu's gaze once again and said in surprise, "You actually dare to look me in the eye? You still have the ability to look me in the eye?"
As he spoke, he prepared to raise his hand again.
Beside the "Emperor," the sigh of "Cold Cicada" also rang out.
He looked at Lin Yu with a hint of pity. "That's why I said, seeing into my past might not be a good thing..." (Director).
"After all, my 'past' was very dangerous... Now you might as well..."
Just as "Cold Cicada" was about to persuade him to surrender, Lin Yu's words interrupted him.
"To be honest, encountering the 'Emperor' here was indeed an unexpected 'accident,' but it's a two-sided matter—for me, the 'Emperor' spoke directly with you, and even if I don't get any more information afterward, his very existence is already significant intelligence for me."
"The Cold Cicada remained silent," the Emperor spoke again.
"The premise is... that you can actually leave here and still have the opportunity to use this 'intelligence'."
The emperor said in a cold voice.
"I will leave here. Although you are very strong, fortunately... I am already prepared to deal with strong opponents," Lin Yu said, staring at the "Emperor" before turning his gaze to the "Diviner." "After all, I know very well... even without you, at least the 'Diviner' will definitely be there."
Lin Yu paused for a moment as he spoke.
"And compared to the 'Diviner,' you're not exactly stronger or more troublesome—so the 'Security Measures' originally prepared for the 'Diviner' are more than enough to deal with you!"
Lin Yu spoke coldly, and then...
He gently tapped his fingers on the nearest piece of table.
Then...
The moment Lin Yu finished speaking, the Coffee shop seemed to tremble violently for a split second, as if an earthquake had struck.
But that wasn't a real "earthquake," but rather a "pause" in the entire Karma Threads Illusion.
This momentary pause was because...
This "Karma Threads Illusion," built around the soul consciousness of "Cold Cicada" and based on the principles of "Karma Destiny," has been invaded by an external force!
And the invading party...
It's still "Lin Yu" himself.
In the sky above the "Karma Threads Illusion," a black Notebook with a severely scratched cover peeks out from the heavens.
Although the "Karma Threads Illusion" is usually very exclusive, with very few forces other than "Destiny" mixed in, its essence is a high-level Destiny of the "Karma Threads Illusion" Authority preserved by Zhu Qiansi through her "Innate Divine Ability," and a very high-level Divine Art. Therefore, when it was first designed, this method emphasized "purity."
Even Supernatural Power would find it difficult to unleash their full potential within the Karma Threads Divine Ability, let alone powers at the "Authority" level.
That's practically a no-entry zone.
Otherwise... if Zhu Qiansi were to use this Karma Threads Divine Ability, and after using the power of the [Fragment of Fate] to bring someone back to the past, she could also allow the person to freely use the power she created... then this supernatural power would be too useless as a "Innate Divine Ability".
As the Chosen of God Destiny and the Great Demon Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord of the Prison Mountain Realm, Zhu Qiansi could not possibly have such an obvious disadvantage.
On the contrary, in this respect... it is precisely the part that the Karma Threads Divine Ability and illusions excel at.
Therefore, Lin Yu's "Innate Divine Ability," which he inherited from Zhu Qiansi, also retained this characteristic, enabling him to suppress enemies trapped within it as much as possible, maintain an "advantage," or reverse a "decline."
But...
For Lin Yu, who had already used the "Karma Threads" supernatural power many times, breaking through this restriction was not without a clue.
Especially considering that he was the one who created this "illusion" and possessed unique advantages from birth, he had considered this issue.
After some simple thinking and experimentation, Lin Yu came to a simple conclusion.
Because "Authority" itself possesses a very high status—although Authority and Living Beings are completely different things, at certain specific moments, isolated "Authority" can be seen as a kind of "selection object" similar to a "Player" or some kind of Living Beings.
For example... the supernatural power of "Karma Threads" is derived from the residual power of the "Destiny" Authority.
So...
When Lin Yu opened the [Ancient Notebook], the dangling Karma Threads not only selected the "Cold Cicada" and the remaining soul aura of the Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord...
They also selected [Ancient Notebook] itself!
So, at this moment...
"Information" descended upon the Ancient Notebook —and at the same time, this sealed "Authority" was also manipulated by Lin Yu within this "Karma Threads Illusion"...
Unleash the maximum power that can be released at present!
A tidal wave of information locked onto the locations of the "Emperor" and the "Diviner," and a vast amount of Information Authority locked onto their consciousness—just as Lin Yu had predicted. Whether it was the "Diviner" who used the same [Fragment of Fate] to reverse-connect his consciousness to this Karma Threads Illusion, or the "Diviner" who used some unknown means to bring his will here, both were affected by the "information"!
The fact that they were able to do this certainly demonstrates that both of them possess extraordinary abilities... But it is precisely because of these extraordinary abilities that the Authority of "information" was able to penetrate the Karma Threads Illusion...
That could truly threaten both of them!
The instant this Authority took effect, everything about their surroundings and their past Memory transformed into uncontrollable, authentic "information," flooding their consciousness like a torrent and causing a violent shock to their souls and wills—an shock that could even flow upstream along the link between their own bodies and the consciousness here, affecting their bodies that were not actually here!
At the same time...
In the instant all this happened, even though their consciousness was somewhat affected, both the "Emperor" and the "Diviner" could still clearly sense it...
The "Authority" power acting on them is still trying to record their mental fluctuations and soul aura, attempting to truly record a part of their thoughts and Memory!
The effect of this Authority and the phenomenon that was unfolding at that moment naturally prompted the two to make a decision immediately.
"Bang!"
Their consciousness vanished simultaneously, as if they had instantly "escaped" from this Karma Threads Illusion.
It's so fast it's like using a keyboard shortcut to exit the Game window.
At the same time... the self-decline of Lin Yu's soul and life also disappeared in that instant.
Although the price was the dissipation of the "Karma Threads Illusion," this was beneficial to Lin Yu...
It can still be considered a victory.
"As expected... whether it's 'Cold Cicada,' 'The Emperor,' or 'The Diviner'... they're all people who value their privacy. They all like to maintain an air of mystery and strongly dislike being spied on."
"The Authority over 'information' is surprisingly effective in waging civil war against these kinds of 'Player.'"
