Next time I hunt in the Youkai Mountain, I’ll treat you to roast crow made by the Immortal Chef—the food you just ate was his.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really!” Yuyuko’s eyes instantly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Found a way to dispose of the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, some outsiders who came to the fantasy Xiang  call me ‘Mama Zi’ or ‘Old Lady Zi,’ but I don’t really care about age,” Kaguya Zi  slipped in. “Besides, your age may not be younger than mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just turned eighteen,” Su Lin said. “And your maiden age?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your appearance clearly says eternal seventeen,” Kaguya Zi  said, her smile fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can take the jokes lightly, but what I said before was serious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Frankly, your sudden arrival in Gensokyo is already troublesome enough, but since Eternity Pavilion is guaranteeing you, and you might one day become a resident by marrying into Eternity Pavilion...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we slightly increase the current population, Gensokyo can still accommodate you—but holding a wedding at the shrine and inviting countless outsiders? That is absolutely impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the safety of Gensokyo, I won’t hesitate to offend you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wording was blunt—clearly stating her position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small matter has no real conflict of interest—bringing a few thousand or even ten thousand people could be confined within the Hakurei Shrine’s boundaries; we could just expand the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Kaguya’s earlier probing, she might be using our status or the group chat’s uniqueness to obstruct her from altering certain ‘history’ and ‘truth.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably, Kaguya Zi  wants our group to finish up and leave the fantasy Xiang  as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this related to the Lunhuizhe  from the Master Space the other day, or other timeline fantasy Xiang  issues?” Su Lin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of them,” Kaguya Zi  narrowed her eyes, then opened her fan with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The situation is complicated. If too many outsiders carrying external information enter Gensokyo and later cannot be undone, this secluded paradise will eventually become riddled with holes—irreparable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, I advise you all not to cause too much trouble—after all, I’ve stopped aiding other Gensokyos for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You came here seeking healing, and plan to stay long?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That matches my guess—too many outsiders might bring safety risks, and since they’re staying, Kaguya’s claim that Kaguya Zi  alters truth hasn’t materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“External information?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Su Lin’s treatment here shows no immediate results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying long-term in the fantasy Xiang  would interfere with Kaguya Zi  erasing the history of ‘outsiders’ visiting—her refusal to host a grand banquet at the Hakurei Shrine for safety reasons is understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuyuko, lost in thought, was staring at Sandy; Kaguya Zi  glanced at the squirrel, then smiled politely at Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Normally, when the host says this, I wouldn’t insist—but a friend’s wedding should still be lively,” Su Lin lightly tapped the low table with his right hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve filmed a TV series for years—it’s reached its small finale and family reunion. Fewer extras just feel... incomplete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s an idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll eliminate or send away the outsiders appearing in other Gensokyos—once their spots are freed up, it’ll be more than enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happy spots are limited; to benefit the majority, sacrifice the few—like every righteous hero faces with the trolley dilemma or lifeboat problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quite decisive,” Kaguya Zi  was slightly startled, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I appreciate the sentiment, but just as Lunhuizhe  always appear in certain fantasy Xiang s, this is a root problem—the fantasy Xiang  doesn’t welcome outsiders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please leave, Mr. Su Lin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s for the Gensokyo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words carry double meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the goodwill is actually negative—after all, without you all here, the status quo remains under Kaguya Zi ’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaguya Zi  closed her fan and rose with Yuyuko; a gap leading to the White Jade Tower opened slowly like a zipper, the two stepping out one after the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blue, see our guest out,” Kaguya Zi  said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frosted glass sliding door within the frame opened; Kaguya Blue bowed respectfully: “Please follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, just solve the source of the Lunhuizhe , right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kaguya Zi  turned back in shock, Su Lin propped his chin and repeated: “If you make sure no Lunhuizhe  appear in any fantasy Xiang , would you then vacate the Hakurei Shrine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a cross and gently tossed it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may begin your wish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One wish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One condition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Group member Su Lin’s livestream has ended】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now, the mobilization meeting for war against the Master Space begins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Hakkai Shrine, Su Lin drew with a fox-tail pen on a whiteboard: “What suggestions do you have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, next time you stream, drop your idol persona—what’s this nonsense about one wish, one condition?” Lu Mingfei groaned, clutching his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. If it’s really impossible, let’s just pick another place another day—no need to stick here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just randomly recalled his trip with Ehliyi when they ran away from home; back then, there was a Meiji Shrine, so he thought of switching to another shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he truly didn’t want to burden this group of online friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the opposite side might be the real Main God Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why bother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or we could just hold a simple ritual,” said Wei Gong Shilang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today repeats tomorrow, and tomorrow is endless?” Su Lin interlaced his fingers beneath his nose, his glasses glinting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When exactly is your ‘next time’? If there aren’t enough people, how can I watch the shura… how can I witness your happiness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way—is this guy serious?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally Su Lin acted a bit erratic, but whenever his peculiar hobby kicked in, whatever came out of his mouth was almost certainly true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this front, Su Lin only played for real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m deeply moved, and I don’t doubt your ability!” Lu Mingfei hurriedly stopped him: “But even ignoring your injuries, it would still cost you dearly even if you were perfectly healthy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, it’s really not necessary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who said I’d do it myself?” Su Lin glanced at Lu Mingfei. “Am I stupid enough to go bother the Main God?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then how?” Lu Mingfei immediately thought of special items in Su Lin’s bag of tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelaien  lowered the two Main God Space Lunhuizhe  hanging from the Source Altar of his divine realm, transferring them to the material plane; their entire bodies were shrouded in blind folly from a higher dimension, utterly devoid of self-awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like I returned just in time,” said Meng Qi, riding back on a blue ox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First time I’ve seen ‘Tai Shang riding an ox’ and then turning right back,” said Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi’s day trip to the Celestial Realm wasn’t over, but it felt like a retirement sanatorium for elderly officials—boring activities, nothing worth seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll choose this girl,” said Meng Qi, grabbing the Lunhuizhe  Sally. “Master Yan Sen, I’d be grateful if you’d accompany me to find the Six Paths.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Sen nodded with a smile, and the three vanished instantly from the Fantasy Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin pulled out a wristwatch from the Lunhui space and placed it before the Main God Lunhuizhe  captain, amid the others’ startled gazes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to understand the meaning of life?
