Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

At the Luofu Dan Ding Si, Dan Shu began treating the newly born Tian Que as usual.

Dan Shu handed a small bear gummy to the little girl before her: "Little friend, eat this, and when you wake up, your eyes will be able to see clearly."

The little girl took the gummy and stuffed it into her mouth; one second later she fell straight into a deep, infant-like sleep.

"Heya~" Bai Lu raised her hand to catch her softening body, carefully placing her on the pillow.

Dan Shu smiled, then fished a few normal candies from her pocket and handed them to Bai Lu: "Trouble Long Nu to help me fetch the injection."

"Okay!" Bai Lu hopped off the small stool and bounced her way toward the Yao Fang.

At her speed, it wasn't long before she reached the Yao Fang entrance.

"It's Lord Bai Lu, what do you need this time?"

The Dan Shi of the Dan Ding Si saw it was the little dragon girl and immediately stepped forward with a smile to greet her.

"Prepare some Mu Xue Ji for me; today's patient has bilateral Tian Que."

As she spoke, Bai Lu wrote out a small note on her own and handed it over.

"Okay, about ten minutes." The Dan Shi took the note, turned, put on a white robe, and walked into a sealed Shi Yan Shi.

Bai Lu waited obediently to the side, neither anxious nor urging.

These medicines for treating Tian Que are all freshly prepared; everyone's condition differs, so the medicines differ too.

She opened the candy Dan Shu Jiejie gave her, popped it into her mouth, and had just taken out her phone wanting to play a little game when a figure wrapped entirely in a black robe suddenly walked in from the Yao Fang doorway.

Bai Lu curiously looked up, but for some reason she subconsciously blurted out a name that even she herself froze at.

".... Xuan Ge?"

"Bai Hang...." A very low, hoarse murmur rolled from the black-robed person's throat.

He had found his target; his right hand spread into a claw, and he strode straight toward Bai Lu.

A Dan Shi immediately stepped forward to block in front of Bai Lu, putting on a smiling face to welcome the black-robed person.

"Sir, Miss Bai Lu is waiting for the medicine to be made. If you want a prescription, find me...."

"Wh... what...." Bai Lu felt a sudden warmth on her face.

She trembled as she reached up to touch her cheek, looked down, and saw her hand full of bright red.

It was the blood of the Dan Shi who had blocked in front of her.

The black-robed person's right hand had already pierced through his chest, then flung his whole body away like a piece of torn cloth, smashing heavily into the medicine cabinet.

"Who are you!" Several Yun Qi guards who had rushed over at the sound immediately charged into the Yao Fang, surrounding the rampaging black-robed person.

"I... I feel like I know you..." Bai Lu instinctively stepped back, yet her heart inexplicably could not produce fear of the person before her.

"Sorry." The black-robed person said an apology in a low voice, then directly attacked, preparing to sever Bai Lu in one strike.

"Madman!" A furious shout carried hundreds of flying swords descending from the sky, crashing down toward the black-robed person.

"Hmm...." The black-robed person turned in an instant, his single hand becoming a blur, knocking away every single flying sword without a single one landing.

Yan Qing seized that fleeting gap, his figure flashing as he took Bai Lu away from the most dangerous core area.

"Yao Er...." The black-robed person looked at the white-haired youth before him, softly speaking his childhood name.

Xuan Yao's whole body froze in place.

"Fa... ther...?"

"Your... Majesty?"

Xuan Yao's cry of "Father" instantly stunned everyone present; Yan Qing was even left standing dumbfounded on the spot.

Who!?

"Wrong!" Xuan Yao regained his senses, his gaze turning sharp again, "My soul.... denies you!"

He formed a sword seal again.

"Senior Brother! Go notify Master!"

"Too late...."

The black-robed person's right hand condensed dense black lightning, and immediately a pitch-black long spear, shaped like a cliff horn, appeared in his grasp.

Seeing the causal power coiling around that spear, Xuan Yao did not hesitate; in his heart he had already prepared for martyrdom.

This person's aura is exactly the same as Father's, but he has no other choice.

He will go all out to protect everyone here and see them safely evacuated.

The fight at the Dan Ding Si, Jing Yuan knows nothing of it, because at this moment he is being tightly entangled by another matter.

"Jing Yuan, I'll go intercept Yao Guang. Xuan Ge's matter, you handle it yourself."

Jing Liu's voice came from the other end of the phone, crisp and decisive as she hung up.

But Jing Yuan could not break free from the terror for a long time.

The highlights in his eyes kept trembling; he retreated a few steps and fell sitting on the ground.

"Xuan Ge... you.... what exactly do you want to do?"

Jing Liu had already told him Ling Sha's speculation in full detail.

He really wanted to refute it — Xuan Ge is just lustful.

But the more he thought, the more it felt off.

Xuan Ge is too smooth, as if all matters in the world flow according to his will.

"Right, right...." Jing Yuan nodded to himself, "If Xuan Ge has decisive power, things should go smoothly!"

But the very next sentence he immediately overturned himself.

"Wrong, wrong! Why would Xuan Ge wait until after Tie Mu to go save Ji Zi?"

Flowers in a mirror, moon in water, Jing Yuan vaguely touched upon a thread of possibility, yet could not make out the outline of the future no matter what.

"Jing Tian..... Jing Tian!!" He violently stood up from the ground, roaring Jing Tian's name, turning into a streak of golden lightning and rushing straight for the Luofu Tai Bu Si.

Jing Tian, who was miserably filling in for Fu Xuan at the Tai Bu Si, suddenly perceived the sunlight above darken for an instant.

He raised his head, only to see a streak of golden lightning descending from the sky.

"Jing Yuan, why such haste?"

"Jing Tian, divine a hexagram for Xuan Ge right now." Jing Yuan got straight to the point.

He needed to confirm, from the perspective of the timeline, whether Xuan Ge's past had undergone any changes.

"To the God's Eye." Jing Tian did not ask further.

The last time he had seen Jing Yuan reveal such a grave expression was still during the Third Abundance War, those days when Xuan Ge's life and death were unknown.

The two hurried to the center of the God's Eye array.

Jing Tian stood at the array core, turned his head to look at Jing Yuan: "Calculate what?"

"Calculate the Third Abundance War."

Jing Tian did not hesitate; he instantly understood Jing Yuan's meaning.

This was calculating whether the karmic timeline had been altered.

The God's Eye array slowly opened like a giant eye; Jing Tian stood in the center of the pupil, formed a one-hand seal, connecting to the array's power.

His eyes shimmered with blue flowing light; he repeatedly confirmed several times before speaking: "The Third Abundance War... the result has not changed. Xuan Ge was still severely wounded."

Jing Yuan frowned slightly, could it be he had guessed wrong after all?

"The karma of Xuan Ge becoming Emperor has also not changed. Time, place, every person who appears all correspond perfectly."

Without Jing Yuan prompting, Jing Tian had already begun checking every key node one by one on his own.

".... Then what about the Yun Shang Five Xian?" Jing Yuan asked another question.

Jing Tian shook his head: "Jing Yuan, that is too far. The karma involved is truly too much; even if Yao Guang personally stood here, she could not see through it."

Seeing Jing Yuan fall into silence, he kept the array running without shutting it off, and asked: "You're this anxious, could it be something happened on Xuan Ge's end?"

This sentence was actually asked in vain.

Fu Er had video-called him just a few hours ago, complaining in it about being bullied by Hei Ta.

He had also personally seen from the video that Xuan Ge that bastard was holding another woman he did not recognize at all.

"Xuan Ge.... why must he wait until after stowing away Tie Mu... before going to save Ji Zi?"

Jing Yuan did not answer Jing Tian's question, but threw out another question, as if asking Jing Tian, more like interrogating himself.

Jing Tian thought it was some earth-shattering matter, but it turned out to be just about Tie Mu.

He casually explained: "Shen Wu's Tian Jie plan, though not anchored at one hundred percent, once successfully annexed by Shen Wu, karma will automatically close the loop; Tie Mu cannot escape no matter what."

But before Jing Yuan could respond, a sudden violent earthquake made both men instantly alert.

"Xuan Ge?" Jing Yuan violently turned his head to look toward the Dan Ding Si direction.

As the Marshal of Xun Lie, he had just clearly sensed Xuan Ge's power fluctuations, abundant to the point of suffocation.

"General! General!"

A Yun Qi guard guarding the Tai Bu Si scrambled into the array, his voice cracking.

"Dan Ding Si is in great chaos! Yan Qing Xiao Wei and the Hunt Prince encountered a powerful enemy, life and death unknown!"

Before the words had even landed, Jing Yuan had already turned into golden light, rushing straight for Dan Ding Si.
