God, the damn movie plot is still chasing me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin, overwhelmed with rage, clutched his chest and turned away from the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, we can still negotiate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin had no patience for the other’s blabbering—the hidden meaning was clear: the other would remain in the God’s position and be utterly transcended, while he himself would become the Heavenly Emperor, reclaiming his self and living freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where in heaven and earth could such a thing exist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eternal was lifted; heaven and earth cleared. Compared to the instant anomaly that had just occurred, even Yagumo Shizu was now frozen, staring at the spot where Su Lin and Kaguya had vanished, her expression shifting between dark and light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yagumo Eirin seemed drained of all strength, her eyes holding neither anger nor sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Watanabe sisters finally realized what had happened; Hime’s face turned green as she staggered backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujiwara no Mokou stared blankly at the place where Kaguya had disappeared, as if waiting for her rival to resurrect instantly with the exaggerated immortality of a Pillar Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the end, everyone in Gensokyo—including the increasingly panicked Hakkero Reimu—turned their eyes to Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did she really like you that much?” Hime struggled to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click! Click! Click-click-click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camera flashes flickered through the crowd; stunned paparazzi opened their notebooks but didn’t know how to write, even Reimu’s pupils trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, at this moment, in this scene, with Kaguya’s final words—what did it look like to others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful, youthful old woman, scheming against everyone, exhausting every effort to give her power and eternal life to a gravely wounded man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were on another channel or in a traditional xianxia novel, heaven—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin drew the Tianqing Yuxu Sword and aimed it at his chest, but since the blade was too long, the posture looked awkward—he repositioned it across his throat and pulled out the Resurrection Match activation token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty!” The celestial court knelt in unison, stunned, mouths open but words unspoken; the Matchmaker glanced at the red thread in his hand and burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think thrice, Your Majesty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you all just be quiet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet before Su Lin could act, a deep blue, star-strewn cosmic arm reached out from the Abyss—an unseen yet undeniably present layer covering this plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Su Lin realize half his proxy had not returned—the 2.5 Celestial Phenomenon still within the Abyss was now surging with the Seven Primordial Evils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weak yet powerful, fallen yet holy, contradiction and dissonance permeated—the cosmic entity’s arm seized the Devourer and yanked it into the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invincible Devourer—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fell again?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft—!

You know. So I just helped out, livened up the atmosphere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say, Mr. President, could you please calm down? Don’t grab me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where am I excited?” Su Lin shrugged: “Both my hands are right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki glanced at the deep blue, star-strewn arm gripping him, took a deep breath: “I’m actually busy too—the border wall’s been repaired, and I still need to approve immigration. I had no time to attend a wedding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This illusion was made by Merlin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Loki’s form grew translucent, then vanished into air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop. Plop. A monocle, a die, and a mask fell to the ground. The Celestial Phenomenon, deprived of sustenance from native Marvel beings, could only rage helplessly within the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nice move, Loki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin raised an eyebrow, then walked toward the figure beneath the torii of the Hakkero Shrine, amid the complex, soap-opera stares of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me just file a report first,” Su Lin waved at Eirin, who had appeared out of nowhere, frowning: “I’ll be back soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you save her?” Eirin’s brow slowly relaxed: “No wonder it’s you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See you soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin approached Meng Qi, who seemed ready to comfort him, ignored the protests and roars from the Abyss, and separated Eternity from Moment, sealing them into the Divine Ranking Scroll capable of bearing authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi: “Calm down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianqing Yuxu Sword spun and flew, piercing Su Lin—then, along with his Celestial Phenomenon and physical body, dissolved into light particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stunned gazes of all, the chat group uniformly displayed a notification: [Member Su Lin has entered death state.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you serious?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei turned pale; he wanted to grab the immortals and ask if today was really an auspicious day, but they were already on the verge of collapse, nearly ready to commit suicide with divine artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.” Yagumo Eirin’s eyes held something—disappointment, or something else—she turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the spot where Su Lin’s body had vanished, a faint glow seeped from the space now rippling gently; after nine heartbeats, it erupted into a vast, boundless stream of light, piercing heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winding like a river, vast as an ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it collapsed with a thunderous roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rebirth from the Netherworld, Primordial Immortality, Reversing Cause and Effect, Reconstructing the Primordial—To this world, I grant the chance for a second rebirth!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Damn it, how messed up is this world’s historical timeline?!

Over there, dead dragon—you too—use that dragon!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mysterious voice, sweet as honey, spoke in rapture—then fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, countless mirrors of time and space refracted; countless fissures leaked star-like violet light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yagumo Shizu’s pupils shrank—within the revealed fissures, countless crystals held sleeping girls, each wearing red-and-white or blue-and-white shrine maiden robes tied with enormous red bows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some refracted images of Gensokyo showed long-dead things reappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t kill me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a dark void, Li Sheng awoke as if from a nightmare—but the next second, he realized there was no Yagumo Shizu sitting on the gap, watching him with cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Master, inventory complete. Would you like to publish?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had obtained the Golden List of All Realms, a divine artifact: by publishing the inventoried content, allowing people across countless worlds to see it, he could gain benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By exposing the past and future fates of individuals, he could disrupt world development, absorb their destiny, and possibly replicate their abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he kept publishing, he would one day become immensely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Careless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While halfway through the Ten Great Anomalies of Gensokyo inventory, he’d left the Golden List’s internal space to pursue a relationship with Reimu, who had resolved the Red Mist anomaly—only to be caught by Yagumo Shizu the moment he stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having inventoried dozens of different worlds, he’d been defeated in Gensokyo—a mere anime world?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden List, where’s Yagumo Shizu?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Unknown. But you’ve died once already.】 The List replied emotionlessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Even I was erased. The great being who created me hopes you won’t waste this second chance.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Creator?! Isn’t only I your master?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a difficult adaptation, Li Sheng accepted reality and spoke hoarsely: “What should I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Carry me, win the Resurrection Match. Before that, you must accumulate strength.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Li Sheng took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with ruthless greed: “Yagumo Shizu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he grew strong, none of the demons or shrine maidens in Gensokyo would escape. Right now, survival was paramount—no matter who the true master of the Golden List was, as long as it brought him benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Publish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hastily unfolded the Golden List, which could capture past temporal scenes based on causality and an individual’s weight in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Now playing: The Ten Great Anomalies of Gensokyo!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew where to start? Since Gensokyo was stronger than imagined, the rewards must be richer—Remilia’s ability and Flandre’s ability were quite good…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“When I was young, my sister died on the battlefield. They told me her soul was immortal, that her spirit ascended to heaven.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—why is this a man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What anomaly could a man trigger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A god of light must exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where in Gensokyo is there a god of light?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene unfolded: a blond man in a suit stood in the sky, becoming a new sun, ascending a staircase forged of light, six luminous wings appearing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I only want a future where Karin lives.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—who’s the protagonist of this inventory?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Top 10 of Gensokyo’s Ten Great Anomalies: Protagonist: Otto Apocrypha】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where in Gensokyo is Otto Apocrypha?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.” Kaguya nodded as if enlightened: “Since the Pillar Herb took effect, my soul has been burned as fuel—only the power of Eternity has sustained me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So to bring me back, and to drag your proxy’s lingering spirit from the Abyss, you killed yourself to activate the Resurrection Match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And my reputation,” Su Lin said seriously. “Your mom and those people from Fantasy Land are staring at me like they want to cut me to pieces, got it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at the fractured visions of Fantasy Land, then glanced at the countdown timer on Su Lin’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you stupid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens, this came from a woman who jumped into a firepit on someone else’s wedding day—anyone who didn’t know would think you had a deep grudge against Lu Mingfei or Emiya Shirou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just live for your own happiness—why care what others think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hōrai no Kaguya slumped against the dead wood beneath her, staring at the embers in the bonfire, one hand propping up her head as she spoke lazily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you were moved enough to sit alone in a dim temple for ten years, or if I were taken away by the Moon, then yes—you could spend years cultivating to become a Battle Emperor and come find me among the Ancient Lunar Clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t even lasted an hour—you’re already rushing to die together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has my Eternal Power lost its charm? The bamboo shoots are ready—give me one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine,” Su Lin said honestly. “If it weren’t for the Extreme, I could’ve told that bunch of future folks in the group to just skip the beef when they plunged into the Abyss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bamboo Branch pried open the firepit, pulled out a black, charred object, peeled away its burnt shell, revealing the snow-white, fragrant bamboo shoot inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think about it—my method doesn’t hurt anyone, right? It’s too hot—Reisen always blows on it before giving it to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaguya winced, tongue in hand: “Do you have some other way to heal your injuries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, only two options: kill Teacher Tony or abandon your Stand,” Su Lin said, glancing at the countdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m not in a hurry. Honestly, before you use Kline’s movie setting to pressure me, I’m not the slightest bit concerned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then there you go,” Kaguya waved her hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You do your best in the resurrection match—Eirin will be absolutely furious. I don’t want to go back and face Eirin at full rage. It’d kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Kaguya suddenly remembered something, hugged her knees, curled up, and shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, you’re already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that going back afterward would make it even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So if I’m resurrected, your Stand would vanish too?” Kaguya sighed, trying to reason with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Su Lin said with a strange expression. “Since I entered here, my Stand has disappeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still exists, still under Su Lin’s control—but its exact location cannot be pinpointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See? That’s unnecessary,” Kaguya rolled onto her back, gazing at the sky, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The hidden danger in Fantasy Land is resolved, you don’t have to worry about Eirin or the turkey, you can even take a nap, and you can stand atop a skyscraper and tell the moon you want to be God and do whatever you please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone gets what they want—why bother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm,” Su Lin said, watching the countdown end, standing up. “But I don’t like owing people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Owe? Me?” Kaguya turned her head toward Su Lin. “Isn’t Eternity and Moment my repayment to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me think… how long have we known each other?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long ago forgotten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since entering Eternity, I originally planned to endure it with my cultivation method—but later realized that even the Heaven’s Forgetfulness of that stage couldn’t fully withstand the process of Creation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin recalled: “If you hadn’t been beside me, I’d have had no choice but to periodically seal my memories with artifacts—or go mad—to awaken from Carosso’s Chronicle of Creation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if I sealed my memories, the Law Inscription of the Primordial Light would inevitably be damaged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So for me, this debt of enlightenment is no small thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so…” Kaguya was surprised, but after a moment’s thought, she asked: “So… this is why you want me to live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Su Lin smiled faintly, pointing at the scroll playing above them. “I mean—I’m not going back either. Let’s die together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Yae!
