Chapter 432

Shi Hao: "@Ye Fan, come train."

Ye Fan: "Cut yourself a few times and I'll come—don't give me that crap about suppressing your realm."

Shi Hao: "Boring. Anyone else in the group want to spar?"

Ge Xiaolun: "Big Boss, just because I use hero skills mindlessly doesn't mean I'm brainless."

Purple Gold Divine Dragon: "Yeah yeah! The heavenly dao of my world wants to spar with you, Lord Huang Tian."

Shi Hao: "."

Shi Hao: "@Li Huowang, any leads on Su Lin and Meng Qi?"

It wasn't that he was itching to fight, but having learned so much and nowhere to test it, verifying his thoughts through battle was one of the most correct choices.

Zhongli: "It's said Su Lin's memories seem to have malfunctioned. If they don't recover soon, perhaps we should consider entering the reincarnation space to find a solution."

Lu Mingfei: "Lost contact is good... but also not good... I'm at a class reunion right now and can't muster even a shred of joy."

Xing: "Isn't a class reunion supposed to be like the Dragon King's arrival?"

Lu Mingfei: "I don't want to rant right now—I just want to find a quiet place."

Xing: "Did you get the script for a love-hate soap opera?"

Lu Mingfei: "Who showed this fusion-star core modern jokes?!"

Yi Leina: "Buddha bless—may Su Lin find true love during this lost-and-amnesiac period."

Su Tuoni: "Maybe Heaven and the Eastern Divine Realm have a non-interference pact? I'm just curious—when Le Bousquet was filming Thor 4, did he need a passport to enter the Divine Realm?"

Su Tuoni: "Guys, should I ask him why the Time Stone is green?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "No! That's too cruel—it'd be way too boring!"

Su Tuoni: "I thought so too."

Kaguya Houraisan: "Sorry, I meant God and the Witch as a couple."

Yi Leina: "Huiye???"

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan: "Since you're all so idle, ask my friend: how do you cheer up a cold, aloof woman? Online waiting—urgent."

Song Shuhang: "Elder Yan Di, your friend... (PS: This message is sent on behalf of King Dou Dou)"

Li Huowang stared at the group messages in silence for a while. No one was worried about Su Lin or Meng Qi. Then again, that made sense.

At this moment, those who should truly be worried are Fu Sheng Tian and Da Nuo.

After thinking it over, he still composed a message and sent some of what he'd learned from Qing Wanglai into the group chat.

Not necessarily 100% true, but likely contains many verified facts.

Li Huowang: "Su Tianfu is Su Lin. Meng Zhending is Meng Qi."

"Meng Ge had secretly transferred part of his heavenly dao to Meng Zhending before Qing Wanglai arrived, so as he absorbs the heavenly dao, his connection to this world deepens further."

"He will develop a corresponding past within this world—until he becomes the Three Pure Ones. Perhaps because Meng Ge carries karmic traces and status from the Three Pure Ones of other worlds, Meng Zhending will become a barrier capable of blocking Da Nuo and Yu Sheng."

"Qing Wanglai told me this, but I don't fully trust him—he's still tainted by Yu Sheng, and he's surely plotting something else."

After sending these lines, even the group's current mascot, Yan Di, and all the strategists temporarily stopped sending messages.

Moments later.

Zhongli: "So that's how it is. According to you, the Yu Sheng you mentioned should be the being you're destined to face at the end of fate."

"But young Huowang, have you already accessed his information? Be careful—Qing Wanglai might transmit fear to you."

Shi Hao: "That Qing Wanglai's gone mad? Don't believe his plan."

Lu Mingfei: "Actually, it sounds reasonable—it's just making Meng Qi do what Li Huowang will do in the future."

Song Shuhang: "Has this happened before? Feels familiar—when Meng Dao you was in the Immortal Realm, it was the same. (First sentence: me. Second sentence: Bai Qian.)"

Ke Ke Ke Laien: "Family businesses work like this."

Ye Fan: "Gone. Off to train."

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan: "Ssshh—! This kid is terrifying!"

Li Huowang: "But he wants to trap Meng Ge forever in this world as a Three Pure One."

Xing: "Like Aisuta passing by her own branch office on some planet, impulsively decides to work there, then gets stuck as manager because her performance is too good."

Lu Mingfei: "Perfect analogy! Hey, Fire Boy, where's my Su Ge? You said Qing Wanglai told you to act against Su Tianfu—did that affect my Su Ge?"

Su Ge...

Li Huowang finished drawing the curtains and looked at the psychiatric patients holding a mobilization meeting.

【"Facing the Fallen God, we must unite! Use every connection and power we have to separate Him from Meng Zhending before His balance with Yu Sheng breaks!" Qing Wanglai said to the crowd in the hall:】

"Li Huowang will be our sharpest dagger—eliminate His side before He wakes up."

"Tonight."】

They're practically begging Li Huowang to throw himself away. Master Zhuge would never do something like this. Indeed, Qing Wanglai isn't Zhu Ge Yuan.

Li Huowang replied: "They're planning an assassination against the Fallen God tonight, while Yu Sheng's heavenly dao hasn't yet been fully controlled by Su Tianfu."

"Sorry, I don't know what happened inside Baiyu Jing. This is roughly the current situation."

Song Shuhang: "???"

Su Tuoni: "Fallen... God? Can God even be called 'fallen'?"

Zhongli: "Hmm, normally, no."

Ke Ke Ke Laien: "@Li Huowang, hey, friend—I know we had fun filming that movie and everyone loved watching it, but tossing around memes like this will cause misunderstandings."

"I've said it repeatedly: it was just a joke. Don't bring the movie into your life—it only brings trouble."

"If there are similarities, it's purely coincidental!!!"

Weigong Shilang: "True... I've reflected on it, but they don't believe me when I say it's real."

Li Huowang sighed deeply and replied:

But the movie walked into my life on its own feet—Zhao Shuangdian and Wu Qi have already become his people, and he is still devouring the Dao of the Great Siming of Fear.

Compared to the primordial God symbolized by projection, Qingwanglai believes the other is a fallen God, and this world will be devoured by him.

No one in the group spoke.

It makes sense—everyone except the newcomers who didn't participate in filming must be nearly stunned by now.

Why does it feel like this chat group is becoming weirder and weirder? Could the Fate Beacon's words be…

Slap!

Li Huowang slapped himself and roared: "Fake!!"

Zhao Lei clapped in agreement: "Yes, fake, all fake~"

Li Huowang froze, realizing everyone was staring at him. Qingwanglai adjusted his glasses and glanced at Zhao Lei:

"Li Huowang, I've read your medical records. If you encounter the Dao of Forgetting on the other side, I can help you find a way to control the hallucinations."

He was implying he could interfere with events in another world.

"No need. My illness is already cured." Li Huowang shook his head and settled his mind to join their plan.

At the very least, he needed to understand what they wanted to do.

A Western-style library lined with countless grimoires, its interior space arbitrarily shaped by the owner's will—wander carelessly and you might fall into a dimensional trap.

The ceiling was a mosaic of colorful enamel glass; on a raised platform, a witch with long gray-white hair sat calmly sipping afternoon tea while flipping through grimoires from other worlds, surrounded by lush greenery.

That's how it should have been.

"When will you let us go?" Short-haired Yi Leina stared at the impossibly powerful version of herself and asked:

"That red-haired mage already has infinite mana—he no longer needs our mana crystals or spells. You've already collected all our wages for this period, haven't you?"

She voiced the collective frustration of all the Yi Leinas held captive, forced into unpaid labor.

This great demon queen Yi Leina stuffed different types of grimoires into separate shelves, forbidden to use any spell except basic levitation—she had to sort them all by hand!

After a full day of exhausting labor, they earned one grimoire from another world. The trade was decent, but they longed for freedom.

"Hahaha."

The reply was an odd laugh. Annoyed, they turned to look at the tyrannical great demon queen Yi Leina—and saw her expression was clearly off.

"Hahahaha, it's definitely fake! Kleine was right—it's just coincidence." Yi Leina seemed dazed, her azure eyes filled with confusion. After forcing a smile, she looked at the short-haired Yi Leina and said:

"Let me introduce you to someone. That way, even if that mouth of yours comes true, it won't happen to me."

"He's handsome, his personality is… xie, very good. You can travel to any world you want later!"

Whispering spread around them—this wasn't the first time Yi Leina had recommended this person to her counterparts. The two zombie Yi Leinas and the slime Yi Leinas rescued earlier were proof.

"Here we go again… Love-struck minds are terrifying…"

"Because it's yourself, so it doesn't matter? I still can't stomach this kind of emotional purity…"

"Brainwashing! Absolutely brainwashed! How pitiful… Will I end up like that too? I'd rather go back to the factory. I heard sales and mining still need workers…"

All these voices naturally didn't escape her—her hearing had long been enhanced.

"I like girls more than anyone here." Short-haired Yi Leina pushed up her red-rimmed glasses and asked: "How desperate is your lover? Are you insane?"

Lover?

Desperate for sex?!

Her right fist clenched, mana surging—space itself began to destabilize.

Yi Leina's face flushed crimson, nearly breaking down: "Are all your eyes blind? Take them off and sell them for money!"

…

Above the gray mist.

The Fool let out a deep, ambiguous sigh—the sound echoed through the ancient, weathered palace, striking straight into the hearts of the Tarot gathering.

They tensed, staring at the towering figure leaning back in the high-backed stone chair, wondering what could possibly make this great god sigh like this since the George III incident.

"Has the Light finally succumbed?" Kleine maintained his persona and spoke to the group:

"The God of Light's state is unstable. Therefore, no matter what tasks He previously submitted, you must not carry them out anymore."

"Let's end today's meeting early."

Among the stunned gazes, Justice. Audrey was the first to react. She bowed to the Fool: "Your will is our will."

Next came the Hanged Man. Alje, annoyed at himself for being too shocked and delaying his response to the Fool's command.

Once he had dismissed everyone back to their places, Kleine slumped into his chair as if his limbs had lost all strength.

Although today's meeting was meant to use the Fool's name to end that absurd matchmaking gathering, for the Fool himself to directly interfere with his devotees was excessive.

Just then, Li Huowang's message sparked a sudden insight.

But

"Coincidence. Absolutely coincidence."

Kleine rose from his chair and began sorting through some Class-0 sealed artifacts from the gray mist's clutter—then he suddenly remembered a question:

"That shouldn't be possible… How could he possibly have devoured Fusheng Heaven under normal circumstances?"

Did he open it again?

By the park lake, a row of weeping willows swayed gently in the breeze, as if caressing the water's surface.

Several northern redstarts flew across the lake, tracing elegant arcs between blue sky and emerald water. The sudden clear weather had drawn more winter migrants to the park, lending it a faint hint of early spring.

"Big Sister Wu, are these your prayer beads?" Su Tianfu held up the beads he was turning in his hand and smiled: "I found them at the hospital and thought no one wanted them."

"I give them to you." Wu Qi waved her hand generously. "Probably dropped when she lost her mind after being hit by a car."

Meng Zhending murmured "Amitabha," then chuckled: "What kind of car was that powerful?"

"A luxury car! The emblem was a golden crane!" Wu Qi said, delighted:

"He was driving illegally, constantly cutting people off—then he slammed into a pole and totaled on the spot. The driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt—he got flung out and turned into pieces."

"Luckily, I drove an RV—it's sturdy enough that nothing went wrong."

"I heard the guy isn't even the owner; the owner's surname is Yu, but he's never shown up."

"How terrifying—what a sin—Amitabha." Su Tianfu murmured a Buddhist chant, as if the scene had been too bloody.

Yang Na heard the conversation and patted her chest as she spoke to Li Huowang: "Thank goodness we didn't go to Lingshan Road that morning. Huowang, what's wrong with you?"

Li Huowang stared at the bank card in his hand and shook his head. A normal split could never amount to this much money; based on the data he'd learned from Qing Wanglai, this was likely all the money Su Tianfu had earned from signing the contract with that bookmark.

"I'm giving you half as royalty—spend it wisely. Don't waste money. You'll need it for college, marriage, and children. You and your girlfriend will have to support four elderly people."

"Oh, I'm putting too much pressure on you. Fine, I won't be the pressure monster anymore."

He looked up at Su Tianfu, who was chatting and laughing with the others, and suddenly felt he could never, even in acting, point a gun at this man.

"Yi Donglai, your complexion is worse than yesterday. Are you really okay? You should go to the hospital."

"Hmm, let's take a cab later. Strange—I feel like I have endless energy, but I'm alternately freezing and burning. Bacterial infection doesn't feel like this."

The conversation ahead caught Li Huowang's attention. He looked toward Yi Donglai, who was slowly sitting down; his face was nearly bloodless, yet his eyes burned brightly.

【Li Huowang, remember: the more the Fallen God struggles with the Great Nuo and another enemy, the more likely our world's Dao will collapse or mutate into a horde of monsters. When that happens, the entire world will become something else.】

Li Huowang didn't believe Qing Wanglai—but Yi Donglai's appearance was truly alarming.

"Brother Su, come here for a moment." Li Huowang placed the bank card in Yang Na's palm and closed her fingers around it, shoving her hand into her pocket:

"Sit with Fifth Sister and Zhao Sister. I need to talk to Doctor Su."

Yang Na didn't ask why—she simply nodded and walked toward the pavilion.

Su Tianfu walked over and teased: "What? Already a disciple of Shu Dao Mountain, starting to exchange sword techniques?"

"Brother Su, I have something to tell you." Li Huowang smiled, pulled off the earphone he'd worn constantly on his right ear, and tossed it into the lake. Then he said seriously:

"Someone wants to kill you!"

"You're not a psychologist—you're God. The true Primordial God!"

"Everything you wrote is true!"

He chose to lay it all out—no more acting. What was the point? Once he woke Su Lin, all schemes would be over.

More importantly, there was a whole group chat offering high rewards to get Su Lin sent back.

【Quest: Dissolve the Name of the Fallen】

【Reward: One Class-0 Sealed Artifact, Hand-to-Hand Teaching from Beginner to Grave-Level Alchemy, One Black Gold Sword with Dragon Patterns, One Thousand Magic Scrolls, One Authority.】

Su Tianfu froze, evidently stunned by Li Huowang's words. After a long pause, he said: "That's three things."
