Chapter 705

"Some people's information was found—in a station on Earth, inside Pao Pao's personal collection."

"I already checked, but who told me which one matches?"

Silence, silence is tonight's Fantasia.

First came those gestures, as if exchanging glances yet resembling mime, later confirmed to be Su Lin and Kaguya communicating via some encrypted channel.

The universe's most advanced micro-expression analyst could only discern that God intended to kill Azathoth—but ultimately held back out of pity.

【Odin equals Nidhogg】? What kind of enemy-origin-same theory? Even realms in the Macroverse resembling Norse mythology don't have anything this bizarre and cool.

【Catastrophe of Ruin】, 【Supreme Realm】 have been incorporated into core analysis and computation.

The high-frequency terms 【Primordial】 and 【Reincarnation】 indicate this group knew each other long ago and something significant must have happened in the distant past; combined with the information revealed by 'Gilgamesh' and 'Qin Shi Huang,' these individuals called 【Supreme】 may all be at critical health.

【Steamed Chicken Feet】, 【Sautéed Green Dragon Segment】, 【Grilled Steak】—wait, these are samples, Shandora, don't eat them! Save some, don't eat the plate too!

By the way, there's even a man who claims to be the Pirate King's man in this group.

"Ten thousand immortals come to pay homage, all realms observe the ceremony, drinking with the gods."

Honestly, if not for the scientists' strict discipline, Weigong and Ilia, being watched like rare animals over there, would've already been fed into sampling and analysis machines.

"Red A, under conditions strengthened several times over, can you suppress that many Heroic Spirits?"

"Completely impossible."

"Can the soul-matter materialization of the Holy Grail produce that many divine and demonic Heroic Spirits?"

"No way!"

The Holy Grail of the Type-Moon universe differs from the realms they once visited; adjusting the universe's expansion rate downward by three percent seems effortless.

After this is over, send the Shadow City's Weigong Shilang and Ilia to a special talent school for training.

No, send all Type-Moon Heroic Spirits and Fantasia yokai for re-education—they all look similar, but the strength on the other side is maxed out?

Pao Pao's eyes were glued, muttering about 'playful Type-Moon,' a brand-new version.

Just as Bing Tisi said, everyone in Shadow City is a talent.

"Material analysis is complete—the molecular chain structure and aggregate state structure belong to nothing known in any existing world; we can confirm they also possess Macroverse-scale realms."

Tavil's gaze held excitement; for these researchers, she suspected they were already ecstatic: "Also, it seems someone noticed the camera."

The last point can wait—Shandora never intended to remain hidden during mealtime.

The key now is

"That's Iron Man and Doctor Strange!" Xu Qianqian's voice rang out: "We finally found Marvel!"

"I just wonder why that God went to run for president in Marvel?"

Not that—though this situation is bursting with snark, Shadow City's grand brawl arena has always welcomed free registration from Heroic Spirits, yokai, psychics, aliens, future people, Iron Man, Ultraman, Hilbert Apostles, and magical girls. Xu Qianqian has long wanted to watch the triathlon.

"We found the reason for the disturbance in the external void dimension's negative entropy flow."

"It's caused by the Great Barrier of Fantasy Land Zero—or rather, the temporal-spatial chaos triggered by it!"

Combined with known information and the explosive news brought by Hōrai no Kaguya from Fantasy Land Zero, the answer to the long-studied cosmic puzzle is within reach.

"Each time the Great Barrier of Fantasy Land Zero reboots, it reverses all phenomena in the entire universe. In Earth's physics, there's a term for an entity capable of producing such a violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics."

"Maxwell's Demon."

Add to that her mastery of all realms, ability to freely interfere with cosmic waves and particles, confirming her possession of the 'Laplace's Demon' ability—to calculate the future and monitor alternate timelines—Yokai Sage Yuyin.

How goes the saying? The end of mysticism is science; the end of science is mysticism.

In this universe, the four divine beasts of physics are missing only 'Zeno's Turtle' and 'Schrödinger's Cat.'

【The Golden List of All Realms is about to open!】

Hey, is anyone from Qidian here? Feilu's come knocking.

"I remember—I'm from Qidian too."

Chen Jun tapped his head and asked: "What's the current state of the negative entropy flow?"

"The negative entropy flow's runaway has slightly increased, but no major fluctuations yet." Tavil lightly tapped her information screen, displaying the fluctuating curve:

"During the last Great Barrier reboot, some unknown entities were observed rushing into the temporal-spatial chaos in the external void dimension."

Given Yuyin's risk management skills, the current situation not being irreversible is normal; in Lin Xue's words, it's a tough bone to chew, with more cunning than any single realm could hold.

【A Light God must be present.】

Chen Jun took a bite of the spring roll Shandora shoved into his mouth and glanced at Bing Tisi's strange expression: "Did one of your classmates sneak into Fantasia?"

"By the way, why is this inventory stuck?"

Bella's takeout arrived, but the food just stopped moving.

【A Light God must be present.】

The scroll remained blacked out, the voice stuck right there.

Logically speaking, pulling off this kind of mask operation, the line between divine revelation and social death is razor-thin.

Although the original voice used a sound effect filter, outsiders couldn't recognize it, but certain group members who knew the inside story had already focused their attention on Su Lin.

But why did it get stuck? Poor signal? Or was it negatively influenced by Su Lin's reverse interference?

"Because all these are things that appeared in past timelines, right?" Kaguya smiled, lips pursed:

"Just like you secretly used Realm Power to transport us—including the Hōrai Shrine—into the past; those things shouldn't exist in the present timeline."

The boundary between past and present—that's Yuyin's unreasonable ability, nearly equivalent to the Realm Power of a Creator, capable of miracles.

As Kaguya previously said, outside the Hōrai Shrine just now was no longer the original Fantasia.

Only when a certain mechanism triggered—the Dragon God destroying Fantasia, the Great Barrier resetting—did everyone return to the present timeline.

"Don't look at me like that—whether it's me, Yuyin, or even that turkey, we Hōrai people each carry an entire civilization. That's no lie."

Kaguya's smile faded, her gaze turning cold as she met Yuyin's: "My brilliant strategist, the Moon Sage Yuyin, is no less than you, the Yokai Sage."

"Minor changes, amplified by the butterfly effect, reflect into the present timeline and are re-recorded into even more distant pasts—now it has become a problem that completely overturns physics and causality, unsolvable even by Laplace's Demon."

Yumemi Aozora turned her head to gaze at the anomaly in the sky, her expression grim: "Why can't you just stay put in the past timeline and wait until their wedding is over and they leave?"

Outside the Hakurei Shrine, numerous youkai had already flown toward it; after returning to the present timeline, the effects had further expanded.

"It's a bit like the setting of the Eastern Chronicles I used to play."

Kaguya nodded thoughtfully, ignoring the confusion on the other youkai's faces, and clapped her hands toward Yuyin Yonglin, whose face was cold:

"Come on, reveal what you've been hiding—like your deal with the Dragon God?"

"I never intended to get involved in this," Yuyin Yonglin said, stepping behind Kaguya.

"You deliberately sent that newspaper meant for the Crow Tengu to the Moon Capital, causing great trouble for the Princess and me—this one thing is my absolute limit."

"The Fantasy Land does not welcome outsiders or beings from other worlds, but your purpose in doing this was likely to create trouble for Eternity Pavilion, so that Mr. Su Lin and Mr. Meng Qi will be forced to remain in Fantasy Land for a long time, correct?"

"If you still couldn't deduce anything after seeing those other versions of Yumemi Aozora from different timelines, then the title 'Mind of the Moon' would truly be laughable."

Even with Eternity Pavilion as a guarantor, the group's excessive politeness and tolerance toward individuals whose very existence obstructed Yumemi Aozora's ability to alter reality and history was far too strange.

Not to mention that Yumemi Aozora, who had previously opposed holding the wedding at the shrine, now seemed to hold a completely different attitude in Reimu's words.

Compared to the two sides now in open conflict, the reactions of the onlookers in the group varied greatly, especially—

"Bishiiii," Su Lin made a running motion with his index and middle fingers, signaling quietly to Meng Qi over there.

"Mm…"

Meng Qi was somewhat tempted, but he glanced at the Divine Record of Enfeoffment and the God-Beating Whip hanging at his waist, then looked toward the sky, and finally sighed and shook his head.

Why did I just trigger an NPC's hidden quest?

【The Realm of Motion and Stillness】

Aside from the group members, all other guests at the banquet—and even the native inhabitants of Fantasy Land about to arrive at the shrine—were frozen as if time had stopped.

"Fantasy Land is a place where anomalies accumulate; only when the unreasonable becomes reasonable can it be called Fantasy Land—like you, and like us youkai, our very existence is an anomaly."

Yumemi Aozora said slowly:

"Fantasy Land will eventually be destroyed by the accumulation of too many anomalies, but the Hakurei Barrier can reboot Fantasy Land before its destruction."

"Information and influences that do not belong to Fantasy Land—or to this world—must be completely purged, or the Barrier will fail to reboot in the future."

"Because you brought these excesses of information into the past timeline, the butterfly effect now threatens the present Fantasy Land."

Yuyin Yonglin mused: "You call the existence of youkai 'anomalies'—but wasn't Fantasy Land established to shelter youkai and gods from the corruption of the outside world?"

From these fragments alone, Yuyin Yonglin could deduce the answer.

"No wonder I've always felt certain memories and impressions didn't match up," Kaguya narrowed her eyes:

"The Dragon God originally agreed to create Fantasy Land for the sake of destruction—but you and the first shrine maiden deceived Him?"

"Heh, the truth of Fantasy Land coexists with me; even memories must follow truth." Yumemi Aozora's eyes flickered, and she opened her fan to change the subject: "Could you all please leave Fantasy Land for now?"

"If I can resolve matters here, you're welcome to return—of course…"

"Next time, please strictly adhere to the rule of not exceeding a small number."

She smiled sweetly at Su Lin and Meng Qi, but both felt a chill run down their spines; Meng Qi decided he must consult his wife to find out what this wicked woman outside intended.

"You want to manually reset the truth within Fantasy Land? Have you not realized it—or are you pretending not to?" Kaguya's bangs swayed with her laugh:

"I am now of the same existence as them; the history I create within Fantasy Land, the actions I take—you cannot alter them either."

"." Yumemi Aozora's expression beneath her fan remained unchanged.

"What the young youkai on the ground is thinking is easy to guess."

Kaguya lightly patted her chest and smiled: "My confusion has now been resolved—it feels much more comfortable."

"So, for this unimportant question and answer, you were willing to bring Fantasy Land into crisis?" Yumemi Aozora asked.

"How so? You, who concealed so much, share the blame, don't you?" Kaguya glanced toward the sky:

"Though we may never understand each other, Eternity Pavilion and Fantasy Land have indeed weathered many crises together—this is merely another cycle repeating itself."

"But as for butterfly effects and such—I simply didn't think that far ahead~."

A gap opened, filled with countless crimson eyes peering everywhere; Yumemi Aozora opened her parasol and walked in with Yumemi Ran, who looked troubled.

"You speak so lightly—you'd better leave Fantasy Land too."

All things gradually resumed motion; the crack in the sky grew larger and larger.

"Then let me propose a solution that will satisfy everyone—after all, the friend's wedding must continue~."

She stepped before Su Lin and asked: "If I ask you to help resolve this issue, and the reward is making all of Fantasy Land your harem—how does that sound?"

Not great. Does Mr. Su Lin have to sacrifice his body just for doing good deeds?

Kaguya pulled out a small, square wooden box and asked: "Five seconds is enough to do a lot, isn't it?"

"My condition is poor, and this isn't the Abyss—I don't have that much authority," Su Lin said honestly, glancing up at the collapsed-like state of spacetime.

Everyone in the group knew his current situation—he had already spoken of the Abyss God's position.

"Ah~ Open your mouth~" The moment Kaguya opened the box, she pinched a golden pill and tossed it into Su Lin's mouth:

"This one is specially made—solve this for me, and consider it payment for the medicine."

Swallowing a Jin Dan—my fate is mine to command, not heaven's?

Su Lin felt nothing unusual after swallowing it—nothing happened at all. He was about to ask what kind of miraculous medicine this was, when Kaguya's eyes turned red and her hair gradually lost its color.

【WARNING: Abyss detected in monitored void dimension!】

【WARNING: Abyss highly active!】

"Where is the Abyss?"

"Fantasy Land No. 00!"
