A Good Show Had Only Just Begun-or Was It Already Over?

Xu Tianluo's mind was filled with doubts, and the three unresolved questions coiled around his heart like venomous snakes.

He has never liked guessing, so since he has doubts, he might as well ask directly for clarification.

Just as she raised her eyes to look at Qin Wangchuan, she saw that the other party's fingertips moved almost imperceptibly, and the Spiritual Qi around his body was quietly flowing in some mysterious trajectory.

Xu Tianluo chuckled softly, his laughter carrying a hint of understanding and mockery, as if he had already seen through all the tricks.

"Why bother concealing it anymore?" His voice was calm, yet carried a sense of complete control.

Each word, clear and distinct, resonated throughout this shattered world:

"You have two swords, one is Guluan, and the other Lixiao. The former is ordinary, while the latter carries Chaos Aura and is extremely lethal."

"You also possess Supreme Dao Technique, Heavenly Sword, Sword Seals, Furnace, Paper Figurine, and another kind of Saint Law, all of which are more powerful than ordinary law."

"And..." Xu Tianluo's gaze seemed to pierce through Qin Wangchuan's body, looking directly into his deepest secrets, "Your greatest and strongest reliance is the Small Sword pendant hanging on your chest, which contains a Great Power."

"If she makes a move, even I, in this world, will be temporarily annihilated."

"But..."

He tilted his head slightly, the curve of his face, a mixture of pity and mockery, becoming increasingly pronounced.

"Why not try communicating with her and see if you can get a response?"

Qin Wangchuan tried, but he really couldn't contact Senior Yuniang.

Having realized this, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, "Looks like you're quite well-prepared."

"That's not all. I've prepared far more than you can tell." Xu Tianluo slowly shook his head, his face still bearing that air of absolute control and superiority. "Even your seemingly invincible Dragon Armor should be feeling increasingly heavy by now."

"It's useless, Qin Wangchuan. Your struggles, your backup plans, every card you thought you had hidden so deeply... have already played out repeatedly in my eyes."

As he spoke, a hint of impatience appeared between Xu Tianluo.

"To be honest, I've killed you several times, and you've killed me several times. We've been fighting for far too long."

"Let's exchange some information. You just need to answer a few questions, and I'll leave immediately."

This was, of course, a lie. Once he obtained the information Xu Tianluo committed suicide.

There are too many variables in this life, and the plans for the future are no longer feasible. It's better to start over.

However, he wasn't the only one who saw through everything.

"Leave?" This time it was Qin Wangchuan who shook his head, directly seeing through Xu Tianluo's thoughts. "You're planning to start over, aren't you?"

This statement itself is a piece of extremely valuable information.

However, Xu Tianluo's face did not show any joy, but rather a solemn expression.

"Are you from the Future Self?"

These words slipped out unconsciously, but after saying them, he shook his head:

"No, that's not right. You don't have that aura on you, but why..."

As he spoke, Xu Tianluo found a place to sit down and began to ponder.

Even now, he doesn't take Qin Wangchuan seriously.

Not a single bit.

However, when Xu Tianluo glanced back casually, his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of needles!

Behind Qin Wangchuan, a massive Light Wheel silently appeared.

The Light Wheel rotated slowly, its light and shadow intermingling, the dividing lines resembling the timeless trajectory of the Heavenly Dao.

At the very moment the Light Wheel stopped—

The two Shadow Figure inside opened their eyes simultaneously.

On the left, a pair of Golden Eyes gazed indifferently and aloofly, as if they had already seen through the inevitable end of all things.

On the right side, a pair of phoenix eyes gazed like the moon reflected in a cold pool, their depths surging with a sorrow that had been tempered by time, bordering on obsession.

Two peerless gazes from different times and spaces, traversing the endless River of Time and piercing through layers of spacetime barriers, suddenly descended and instantly locked onto Xu Tianluo!

Run!

A strange and primal sense of fear pierced Xu Tianluo's mind like an ice pick.

That was a thrill he had never felt in his countless reincarnations and in his view of fate!

However, the arrogance deeply rooted in his heart firmly held Xu Tianluo back.

A moment's hesitation, and even when you really wanted to leave, you couldn't.

"It's useless! No matter what methods we use, it's useless!"

Xu Tianluo was frozen in place by these two gazes, and could only shout hoarsely, trying to dispel the unprecedented palpitation in his heart with his voice.

"I am an eternal being in this world! Immortal, indestructible, and invincible!"

His words still carried an absolute pronouncement, yet his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed a hint of wavering deep within him, a wavering he himself was unwilling to acknowledge.

Something's definitely not right here!

The Phoenix Eye Shadow Figure on the right moved first, extending her slender finger and arriving in this world through the Wheel of Fate.

The entire world suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

With a slender fingertip making a light stroke, an ancient character for "law" was imprinted in the void, its edges burning with a ghostly blue Reincarnation Fire.

Then...

"Law"

--Already displayed

After doing all this, the Shadow Figure gave Qin Wangchuan a deep look before slowly closing its eyes.

Qin Wangchuan was also stunned.

He did not summon the Wheel of Fate.

In other words, the Wheel of Fate is now turning on its own!

And it wasn't even himself who came out!

Of the two figures, it's clear that the one on the left is indeed him, but the one on the right is...

"Li... Azure Luan?"

It is her, but it is not her.

Those phoenix eyes churned with emotions Qin Wangchuan had never seen before.

It seemed like lingering affection, reluctance to part, and anger all at once.

"I remember now..."

Suddenly, a woman's voice, filled with realization and urgency, rang out from Qin Wangchuan's chest, as if memories that had been dormant for Myriad Ages had been abruptly awakened!

"Yes, I still have a mission!"

The Small Sword pendant, which was formed from Yuniang's true form, was vibrating violently at an unprecedented rate!

Looking down, he saw the word "" suddenly appearing on the surface of the sword.

The words vanished, the seal was broken, and a forgotten spacetime was instantly connected.

"Buzz--!"

A clear, resonant sword cry ripped through the sky!

The Small Sword that Yuniang had transformed into suddenly broke free from the Red Rope, and its blade burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling brilliance.

That light was not Killing Intent, but a resolute power that seemed to burn away all ties and causality!

Without the slightest hesitation, it made a sweeping motion through the air—

Sizzle!

Space was easily torn open like a thin silk, revealing a deep rift on the other side, a bizarre and incomprehensible Space-time Turbulence.

Yuniang transformed into a streak of light and instantly plunged into the crack, disappearing from sight.

Only one sentence, seemingly transcending Myriad Ages and carrying endless tenderness and resolve, clearly echoed in Qin Wangchuan's ears.

It did not come from Yuniang, but from --

Li Qingluan.

"Go... Trace Time, return to the beginning. At the start of countless reincarnations, slash from the Chaos Sea, fall into the Immortal Court, return to the moment he first wielded the sword... let everything begin anew."

The woman's voice lingered, and that unwavering conviction remained undiminished by the Myriad Ages of time.

Even now, it still sounds as clear as if she were whispering in my ear.

The spatial rift that Yuniang tore open when she left quickly closed, as if it had never existed.

Qin Wangchuan was left standing there, stunned, when the system notification sounded in his ear:

[You have obtained a Special Simulation: <Enemy of This World>]

Ignoring the system, Qin Wangchuan seemed to sense something and looked up, his gaze meeting for a moment in the indifferent and distant Golden Eyes within the Wheel of Fate.

That is my future self, yet not my self in this time and space.

A sense of resonance welled up inside me.

"So that's how it is... This scheme was set up long ago, just waiting for me..."

Qin Wangchuan muttered to himself, a slow smile playing on his lips beneath the Dragon Silk Mask. "Now, the time has come."

The Shadow Figure slowly closed its eyes, the Wheel of Fate stopped spinning, and gradually disappeared.

But the real show has only just begun, or rather... it's already over.

The past that Yuniang went to, the present that Qin Wangchuan stood in, and the future that the Shadow Figure represented.

Different times and spaces, different worlds, different points in time.

Past, present, future --

Under the influence of the Wheel of Fate, the three of them arrived before the same enemy at this moment.

Without a word, Qin Wangchuan activated the Sword Intent Furnace: "Third Gear!"

The Sword Intent Furnace instantly reached its limit, absorbing endless Spiritual Qi into its body, which then transformed into a tangible Sword Intent that swept across the heavens and earth!

Then he raised his hand and pressed down lightly, unleashing that sword strike once more:

"Dao Slash!"

A Giant Sword phantom, spanning the heavens and earth, descended from the ninth heaven, its blade carrying Principle and ultimate Sword Intent as it crashed down upon the already stunned Xu Tianluo!

"Ten Kill Sword Seal? Heavenly Sword"

In the distant past, the Heavenly Yuniang, transformed from the Heavenly Sword Maiden, tore through Myriad Ages, fiercely cleaving open the endless Chaos Sea! Where the Sword Light passed, the pure and the impure were clearly separated.

The sword tip pierced through Myriad Realms, precisely slaying Alien Race known as Xu Tianluo! Finally, it fell into a world.

From then on-

In the beginning of time, the Great Dao was first revealed.

Later generations referred to this realm as the Ten Directions Immortal Court.

In another time and space, at the unknowable end of the future, those indifferent Golden Eyes opened once more. Before the newly born Xu Tianluo even opened its eyes, it felt a Sword Light tearing through time and space descend from the end of the River of Fate.

The sword's edge was aimed precisely at his youthful brow.

This is the final judgment in the River of Time. Even if Yin Yang are reversed and time and space are disrupted, this sword will eventually arrive as promised.

"Ten Directions Profound Sword"
