[...]
Dead silence.
[Once the essential rewards and punishments are used in reality, they will enter a cooldown period of up to one year.]
[You are standing in the void, and a few kilometers away there is another person, Zuo Tianxin, who is responsible for serving as a reference point and rushing towards the depths of the universe.]
"Did it succeed?"
You meet his gaze, and simultaneously, a question pops into your mind.
Was what you just sliced really white chrysanthemum?
[Within the chaos, there was not utter stillness. The terrifying matter, capable of easily crushing thousands of beings at the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm, flowed slowly, emitting deafening roars of hundreds of decibels!]
"Why isn't it 100,000 decibels?"
You and Zuo Tianxin seemed to be in a silent vacuum, staring at each other blankly.
[Zuo Tianxin: "Is it done?"]
You: "I can't get there."
[In just one second, Zuo Tianxin can take you back to that laboratory.]
In just a moment, you can gain insight into the future and understand the present situation.
But now, they all hesitate, unwilling to face the truth of whether it has succeeded.
After a brief standoff, you activated your precognition three seconds after you had slain the target's essence.
[Let's go take a look, just in case Bai He, in a fit of rage, comes knocking on our door and uses some means to trap us so we don't die, and then we get tortured to the point of ecstasy.]
In that future, you return to the laboratory.
The platform was empty... but not entirely empty; a set of clothes remained.
If there were nothing on the platform, you might suspect Bai He had left, but now this set of clothes has been left behind... Does it prove he's dead?
Because its essence was reduced to zero, it evaporated into nothingness, including the soul, the physical body, and the source of the Dao within, leaving only the clothes as an external object.
[This seems to be the only possibility; it couldn't be because he went streaking, could it?]
Still feeling dizzy and unable to believe it, you asked the other researchers below.
Their responses were consistent: "The man vanished into thin air, leaving only his clothes behind."
You still can't believe it; your spiritual energy fills a radius of 100 light-years. You shout it out.
"Bai He, you're a complete idiot!"
"Bai He, your horse is dead!"
There has been no response.
【you:"……"】
"It worked?"
"Did it really succeed?"
[A flurry of activity, both lively and bewildering...]
You feel like you're dreaming.
A day has passed, and all has been well.
A month has passed, and all is well.
A year has passed, and still no trouble has come knocking.
"Where is the Lord of Destiny? Did he leave no backup plan at all?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think it wasn't your apprentice who died!"
Nearly three years have passed, and in the midst of your peaceful life, you suddenly feel a sense of disorientation, as if everything has come to an abrupt halt.
"Oh?"
It's not that someone came to your door and killed you; it's that this foreseeable future has reached its limit.
"Cut!"
[Having inherited nearly three years of memories, you open your eyes at this moment.]
[Now, you can kill Bai He in just three seconds.]
You probably, possibly, really did kill him!
So easy, so effortless, without a single setback!
"No, I've already pushed my skills to the absolute limit. How could there still be any setbacks? How could anyone else possibly have my abilities?!"
You tapped your head. "A win is a win. What's the point of a comeback? This is the final victory!"
"But...it seems that in the future, the Lord of Destiny hasn't come knocking for three consecutive years?"
Is it because they don't care, or because they can't see it?
Even though using Return to Truth to reposition yourself puts the Return to Truth skill on cooldown, forcing you to only attack Bai He in reality, it seems that the Lord of Destiny didn't notice?
You feel a surge of emotion within you.
You feel incredibly refreshed.
Although you didn't attempt to reduce him to a mortal and deal with him in the future due to being too hasty and in order to be on the safe side, at least you succeeded!
After three generations of effort, Bai He has finally been killed!
[In the chaotic void, you burst into wild laughter.]
"Set up a celebration banquet and throw a party!"
"Tonight, I'm not leaving until I'm completely drunk!"
"...I almost forgot, there's one more thing."
"Hahahaha, I don't need your original form anymore. I can become an immortal in one lifetime and become the Lord of Time!"
Yun Shou: "...You'll regret this!"
"I am the one who has attained enlightenment!"
Yun Shou: "He's just a piece of trash who's about to be kicked to death by the Lord of Destiny on the side of the road."
He believed that the reason the Lord of Destiny hadn't appeared was simply because he wasn't awake yet, or he was too lazy to care, and he planned to postpone Bai He's death for a while, perhaps for tens of thousands of years.
It's only been tens of thousands of years; he doesn't believe that Thirteen, this idiot, can become a fully-fledged universe lord.
Besides, who says that becoming a fully-fledged Universe Lord necessarily makes one a Dao Lord?
Those were all just his guesses!
You decide to give yourself a hundred-year vacation, completely ignoring cultivation and leveling up, and only caring about having fun.
However, just before the party was about to begin, you suddenly remembered something.
[In the previous premonition, specifically regarding the future three years after Baihe's death, a strange phenomenon seemed to occur.]
