Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Jin Guang, if I self-destruct, what will you do?"

Hearing this question, Dan Ning Xiang stopped her shy embarrassment and instead looked at Xuan Ge in disbelief.

And Jin Guang, although he appeared calm, was somewhat unperturbed no longer.

"You want to be independent from the outside, a very good idea."

Jin Guang gave high praise; Xuan Ge broke free from the inherent thinking of causality and began to prove he was himself.

"Setting aside that I am your causal line, actually I'm also very afraid of death."

Xuan Ge put away his fishing rod, ignoring the dragon tail in his chest that was refreshing to the heart and spleen.

He gazed at the great sea, muttering: "During the Shuhu Chaos, I was actually very afraid. Afraid I would lose this hard-won life."

"That's just because you hadn't obtained power." Jin Guang explained for Xuan Ge, "Once you obtain power, you won't have……"

"No, you didn't understand my meaning."

Xuan Ge interrupted Jin Guang's words, he continued: "Recruiting troops and buying horses eight hundred years ago, usurping power and seizing position eight hundred years later, walking to this step today, I am already complete."

He took out Dan Ning's dragon tail, waved his right hand before him, and the first black-gold dragon robe Ling Sha made for him appeared on his body.

"We know, all Xuan Ges added together are merely firefly lights before you; they had resistance and tried to leave backdoors, but all were ants shaking a tree."

The second Xuan Ge from under Jin Guang's rank, he fled.

Like dominoes falling, the Xuan Ges after him all fled.

But the result? They all died.

When it came to him here, although Star's whimsical ideas let his causality scatter, letting him learn the next world line was Xuan Ge's.

But that was also of no help.

Start an Eternal Samsara with Jin Guang?

Forget it.

He couldn't bear tragedy.

Use Eternal Samsara to trap Jin Guang, thereby causing loved ones to die one after another, just so he could survive?

He couldn't do it.

So, he wouldn't flee anymore, wouldn't hide anymore, wouldn't retreat anymore.

"We, will go with you, but you must use causality to act, guarantee the world I'm in stays balanced forever."

This is his final gift, and also his own limit.

Sitting in Jin Guang's position, it's not that he can't, but he never had the thought of ascending to godhood.

Strong as Jin Guang, he was also imprisoned by thought.

His one step back, how is it not practicing his own Path?

When everything returns to the starting point, Jin Guang won't be Jin Guang anymore; he'll become the original Xuan Ge, become that most perfect one.

"You choose to use your own sacrifice to exchange for a way out for all the Xuan Ges after."

Jin Guang also put away his ever-idle fishing rod and stood up, also looking at the great sea.

"I'm curious, why did you transform so fast?"

Xuan Ge heard this, he glanced at Dan Ning who had somewhat red eyes, then smiled: "Lust at first sight, I can't keep pretending to be a grandson in front of her."

"Hehe, self-comfort huh, in the end you're still afraid of death." Jin Guang revealed a smile, he saw through Xuan Ge's disguise.

That emperor-over-all feeling just now really fooled him.

"Yeah." Xuan Ge admitted, "But I'm indeed prepared, after all I already regard this place as my harem."

Here, Xuan Ge is great, Dan Ning Xiang is fragrant, Jing Yuan is soft, Ying Xing Lie.

These are all fine wines aged for years, he really can't bear to drink them.

"Among the Xuan Ges of so many world lines, I'd call you the most CS one."

Jin Guang cursed Xuan Ge without stinginess, he had not a shred of guilt.

Other Xuan Ges still knew restraint, had to deal with Shura fields and yanderes, knew meals must be eaten one bite at a time.

But this Xuan Ge, after being trained by the Great Lily, let himself fly free.

Every Shura field he just watches the show there, even when yanderes act up he's still robbing Peter to pay Paul, never finishing handling it.

Even handling yandere women, it's still robbing Peter to pay Paul, and the methods are all wrong, just constantly Great Lily controlling the brain, lower body replacing thought.

"Stop cursing stop cursing, I'm the Great Lily's……"

Xuan Ge's words weren't finished before he was silenced by a causal line Jin Guang threw out.

"You've already chosen to unlock my shackles, then don't add fuel to the fire." Jin Guang's forehead blue veins surfaced, "Also, I'm a pure love faction!"

Xuan Ge broke the causality, then roguishly said: "I'm also pure love ah, pure love the big one, how is that not pure love?"

"Sharp-tongued." Jin Guang glared at Xuan Ge annoyedly, but still gave him face.

This Xuan Ge, although the most CS, is also the one who turned the tide.

When he chose to face death calmly, after that, whether Xuan Ge or later Xuan Ges, he can ignore them all.

This isn't because he's kind-hearted, but because Xuan Ge created a causality singularity, he himself proved he isn't Xuan Ge.

Sounds very strange, the meaning is, this most CS Xuan Ge has already become independent.

Equivalent to when he reversed time to return to the past, he encountered a high wall, he needs to go around it.

But this detour would generate a path back to the starting point once more, perfectly offsetting the Xuan Ge that came after.

He had said it himself before — he actually didn't want to kill his own karma.

He was bad, but not that bad.

When the first Xuan Ge died by his hand, he couldn't bear Jing Liu's hateful gaze...

"Xuan Ge, why are you doing this?"

Xuan Ge arrived; she couldn't understand why Xuan Ge suddenly surrendered without a fight, why he didn't resist.

Whoever is stronger is the main body; at worst, drag the Aeons of both worlds into a Divine War — there's still a fighting chance.

Moreover, Xuan Ge is still sending people to research the Abyss in Teyvat.

These are all means of resistance.

Why did Xuan Ge suddenly give in?

She couldn't understand.

"The High Wall has been erected; Xuan Ge, you'd best behave."

Cinderlight reminded Xuan Ge — right now Xuan Ge had already separated from Xuan Ge, becoming his true self.

"Hmph, I have nothing to do with you."

Xuan Ge didn't care about Cinderlight; the one she cared about was Xuan Ge.

"Xuan Ge, speak — why do this?"

"Can't beat him." Xuan Ge shrugged. "Before absolute power, all schemes are useless."

That beating he took wasn't for nothing — just probing with his body, he couldn't fathom Cinderlight's depth.

Moreover, Cinderlight acts against causality.

The one standing before their door now is still a weakened Cinderlight.

Ghost knows what kind of stat monster the first Xuan Ge ran into.

No wonder the first Xuan Ge fled — probably scared to death.

"Xuan Ge, if you're counting on an outburst from the Abyss mixed with Taotie, let me tell you..."

Seeing Xuan Ge still struggling, Cinderlight raised a hand and produced Abyssal Power and a... power that no one present had ever seen.

"I've reached the end, seen too many things."

Cinderlight dispersed the Abyssal Power, retaining that power from another world.

"I, too, crossed World Lines like you, wanting to find answers."

"A bit of a Harmony feel...."

Xuan Ge didn't know how to describe it, but looking at this black, line-like, glowing tattoo, he could sense the frequency.

"Not entirely." Cinderlight dispersed the Voice Mark. "This is what I obtained when crossing World Lines, by chance encountering a little girl trapped outside the Door."
