[The information from Seven Rings this time merely confirmed your suspicions.]
[It seemed that the being assimilating the [Longevity Realm] truly wanted you to disrupt the chess game between [Heaven and Earth] and the [Supreme Immortal],]
[and for some reason, that being could not readily act directly.]
[Day seven.]
[With practically nothing left to explore, you simply had to wait bitterly for [golden talent: Listening] to trigger.]
[Honestly, you did not really want to bother with the [Longevity Realm] anymore, but you wanted to know where the passage to the "Immortal Realm" was.]
[—The information you had obtained earlier indicated that the passage was somewhere in the [Longevity Realm].]
[Seeing that there was nothing else to explore, then... should you head to the Supreme True Realm of the future now?]
[Leave an "other self" to explore the [Longevity Realm] while you headed to the Supreme True Realm?]
[At that thought, you decided that exploring it would be best.]
[You planned to follow the method from the previous future simulation, deploying an "other self" through the karmic deployment of [golden talent: Myriad Selves]'s "other-self projection," thereby reaching the [future] by a roundabout route.]
[But after probing, you failed to detect even a trace of karma.]
[That was right. Unlike the previous future simulation, when you could sense a faint thread of karma—this time, there was absolutely nothing.]
[You abruptly sensed that something was wrong.]
[What was going on?]
[In the previous future simulation, your existence karma had been deliberately severed by the [Mysterious Dao Master] and others of that caliber,]
[and only after "Old Self" noticed something was wrong had he preserved a faint thread of karma for you. But this time, there was none?]
["Old Self" could not possibly have failed to prepare for you, so... had something unexpected happened?]
