Chat Group.

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Immortal King Anlan, you could try the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book. Although an Immortal King's Primordial Spirit is Undying and their Flesh is indestructible, this divine ability is a spell from the world of Xuanzang Sheng Seng; even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would perish and dissipate under it."

Regarding Anlan's situation, Han Li offered his own opinions and views.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "The Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book, this thing is a treacherous, underhanded trick. Zhao Gongming from Investiture of the Gods also fell under this divine ability, and that Zhao Gongming was known as the War God of the Jie Sect, his strength sweeping across the Twelve Golden Immortals and crushing the Chan Sect."

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "Although it's a bit sinister, I'm still looking forward to it!"

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "A good idea; win without shedding blood, and there's no need for a direct confrontation."

Immortal King Anlan: "Kundi's strength is not below mine; he is known as the strongest and most ancient Undying King of the Foreign Realm. Besides, what is the point of killing him? Would the conflict between the Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths be resolved?"

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Not so, Immortal King Anlan. In my eyes, the fundamental reason the Foreign Realm dares to attack the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is the imbalance of combat power between the two sides.

This decisive battle of the Immortal Ancient must have been presided over by Immortal King Kundi. If Kundi were to fall in advance, then this decisive battle might end before it even begins.

Of course, if the remaining Undying Kings insist on going to war with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Immortal King Anlan could secretly eliminate a few more Undying Kings to reduce their top-tier combat power.

By maintaining the balance between the two major forces in this way, the decisive battle will not be easily triggered."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Good calculation, Diliu Han. You are well-versed in Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Demon Queen: "Is this move 'pulling the firewood from under the cauldron' and 'capturing the ringleader first to capture the bandits'?"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Pretty much."

Bad Commander: "Tsk tsk, if Fellow Daoist Han had been born in my world, he would likely be a strategist capable of seizing the world with his wits!"

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "I don't know who I heard it from, but those who play tactics are all black-bellied and heartless!"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Sister Bao'er is right!"

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Not at all, this is just my most basic way of self-preservation. I have never studied, I don't understand, I don't understand."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Haha, then Little Friend Han is even more gifted, self-taught without a master. If you were in my world, you would at least be a Sage of Literature!"

Baiyue Jiaozhu: "Brilliant!"

Sword of the Human World: "I admire you!"

Playboy: "It seems I also need to read the Art of War to increase my wisdom."

Thanos of Titan: "..."

Fire Fist Ace: "Amazing, the seniors are truly amazing."

Dance King of the Shinobi World: "Hmph, this is nothing yet."

The Demon King Who Never Eats Defeat: "Ahem, eating melon."

Immortal King Anlan: "I seem to understand now, Fellow Daoist Han, you have truly done me a great favor."

Anlan was indeed a bystander who couldn't see the truth; the most essential gap between the Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was the vast disparity in combat power, which led to the imbalance between the two forces. If Kundi were gone at this time, and a few more Undying Kings were lost, then this battle would naturally die in the cradle and collapse without being attacked.

And by seizing this opportunity, he could even replace Kundi and become the new master of the Foreign Realm.

Anlan did not doubt the power of the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book.

The current problem is that while the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book is a divine ability, it needs to be used in conjunction with the Spirit Treasure, the Seven Arrows Book, to exert its maximum power.

And currently, only Xuanzang possesses the Seven Arrows Book; his world has no such thing as a Seven Arrows Book.

Immortal King Anlan: "Ahem, Xuan Ge. This battle concerns the future of the Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, could I borrow a treasure from you?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "An Lao Liu, what do you want to borrow?"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Xuanzang's treasure, hehehe?"

Demon Queen: "Damn, what a pervert."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Let's hear it."

Immortal King Anlan: "Although I have cultivated the divine ability of the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book, to truly unleash the strongest curse of this divine ability, I need to use it with the cursed magic treasure, the Seven Arrows Book, to ensure there are no mistakes, especially when dealing with a powerhouse like Jundi who is only one step away from being a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "That can be done, but I cannot lend it to you for free. Ten thousand points; if you think it's expensive, you don't have to take it."

In fact, points have no meaning to Xuanzang at the moment.

Immortal King Anlan: "Ahem, not expensive at all. Xuan Ge is truly benevolent."

Anlan was excited, but it was only a mere ten thousand points. He was an Undying King after all, and looking at his balance, he had nearly one hundred thousand points.

One hundred thousand points seems like a lot, but the treasures he can buy in the Chat Group are like chicken ribs to someone at his level, having no great value.

Besides, the probability of getting top-tier equipment from opening Blind Boxes is low, and most of them are just ornaments.

Anlan immediately sent a point red envelope, and at the same time, Xuanzang lent the Seven Arrows Book to Anlan.

Immortal King Anlan: "Phew, I'm relieved. Next, I'm going to prepare to finish off Kundi."

Baiyue Jiaozhu: "There is one more question that everyone discussed before. If there is no such decisive battle, will the future change? Or will it head toward a completely different trajectory of fate?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Yeah, damn, if the future changes, will I cease to exist?"

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "Ye Laoliu, what are you worrying about? You, Anlan, and Xiao Shi have the same background, but you are not in the same universe or timeline; you are in parallel universes.

In the end, only the universe and timeline of Anlan the Sixth will change."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "This feeling is hard to describe, it's like watching another version of myself disappear prematurely."

Diviner: "In the known original main timeline, Ye Fan, Shi Hao, and the Ruthless Empress have all achieved the realm of Transcendence. Once proven, it is proven forever, similar to a Great Luo Golden Immortal; the present, past, and future are constant and cannot be changed.

But with the birth of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, various anomalies have appeared in the Heavens. These anomalies also include the Chat Group, systems, Transmigrators, and extraterrestrial demons. Following this, the original origin timeline has branched into multiple Heavens and Myriad Worlds timelines.

In these new timelines, because of the intervention of other forces, even the originally destined fate can be changed.

As of now, the timelines of Ye Hei, the Ruthless Empress, Anlan, and Shi Hao are not the origin main timeline, so no one knows what the future will become."

Demon Queen: "Group Owner, do you mean that because the trajectory of fate has changed, we can play around as we please?"

Diviner: "I didn't say that; I'm just reminding you that the trajectory of fate has changed, a new timeline has been born, and the future is being reshaped. Even if your future is constant, new variables will still appear.

According to the most primitive fate I know, Ye Hei, Xiao Shi, and the Ruthless Empress all died in the final battle, the Darkness Ancestor shrouded the Heavens, and hundreds of millions of living beings were sacrificed to the moon to become fuel for the Darkness, with eternity annihilated."

Immortal King Anlan: "Holy crap, Group Owner, that's not how it is in the script? Is it that intense?"

Anlan, who had just prepared the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book formation, suddenly became spirited.

Zui Ai He Shounai: "???"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "??"

Girl Ruthless: "?"

Playboy: "What exactly is going on here? Group Owner, are you hiding something?"

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Ahem."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Shocking!"

Diviner: "This Group Owner has not hidden anything, it is just that this ending was later interfered with and changed by mysterious forces, and in the end, it was what we saw: justice triumphs over evil. The reason I say this is to tell you all not to let your guard down just because you have seen your future destiny; otherwise, even if you bear the fate of a protagonist, you will still fall."

Immortal King Anlan: "Let me state this, Group Owner. I am not the protagonist; I am the villain."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "An Lao Liu, stop talking. Group Owner, what exactly is the situation? Did we die in battle?"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "It seems the future is truly dark."

Diviner: "It is not just that you died; Liu Shen was also killed by the Darkness Ancestor for the sake of Xiao Shi."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "..."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Then what kind of power changed this ending? Curious!"

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Perhaps it is a power beyond the Sacrificial Dao, perhaps it is a great power that transcends reality and illusion. In the dark, it is as if a pair of hands is writing our destiny, making us face choices again and again, like marionettes, unable to act of our own volition."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "? Xuan Ge, don't say that, you've scared me to death."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Ahem, then I know what this power is. It must be the power of the author; we might be characters written by the author."

As a modern person, Xu Que has a quick mind and is deeply influenced by web novels; he is already accustomed to this kind of trope.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Xu Ergou, do you think I don't understand? It's just that I am unwilling to admit it."

Baiyue Jiaozhu: "Then the question arises again: are the words you are saying at this very moment your own inner thoughts, or are they words the author is controlling you to say? Do you think it is the author manipulating things behind the scenes, or is it the author letting you know the truth of the world?"

Super Beast Pluto: "What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again."

Diviner: "Thinking about these things is useless; at the very least, you are free at this moment."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Xuan Ge, what do you think?"

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Same as above!"

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Perhaps one day in the future, we can break through the barriers of the heavens, see the true source of this darkness, the hand of fate behind the scenes, and then transcend him."

One Sword Qing'er: "Count me in."

Ancestral Mo Nv Houtu: "Such an interesting thing, this deity wants to go too."

Diviner: "..."

…

Foreign Realm, Imperial City.

Inside a vast and magnificent palace, Anlan is wearing a Bagua Taoist robe, his expression solemn.

In his hands are a straw doll, secret-made arrows, and two lamps; he then proceeds to perform the curse according to the method of bowing and shooting.

The Tiangang Thirty-Six Transformations represent thirty-six Great Daos that can be directly cultivated, and each one can even prove the realm of Hunyuan.

The Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book represents the most sinister Curse Great Dao among the Three Thousand Great Daos!

A curse is something sinister!

It is impossible to guard against, nowhere to block, kills from ten thousand miles away, and ignores space.

Anlan writes the name of Monarch Jundi on the small straw doll and places a lamp above its head and below its feet.

Then he steps out the star-step, writes talismans and forms seals, burns the seals, and performs the bowing ritual three times.

This requires twenty-one consecutive days to truly complete the curse.

However, with the assistance of the Seven Arrows Book, the original twenty-one days can be reduced to seven days.

Besides, Kundi is not a Great Luo Golden Immortal, only an Immortal King, and he simply cannot hold on for that long.

By logic, as a King-level powerhouse.

Chanting a true name or even having a thought in one's heart would be sensed, let alone for a top-tier Immortal King like Kundi.

But this is precisely the terror of the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book's Curse Great Dao: it shields the heavenly secrets, cuts off all sensing, and lets the victim die without knowing why.

After finishing the first day's bowing ritual, Anlan sits cross-legged to guard this curse array.

At the same time, Foreign Realm, Kunkun City!

An ancient divine temple rises into the sky, pointing straight at the firmament.

One climbs up layer upon layer of stairs covered in runes, with no end in sight; a pure aura of Darkness lingers, and one can see spirits drifting with the naked eye, while the sound of ancient sacrifices vaguely echoes in the Void.

In the middle of that divine temple, a huge and ancient gourd floats in the Void; this is one of the strongest artifacts in the Foreign Realm, the Immortal Refining Gourd.

This Immortal Refining Gourd is Kundi's artifact; he has used this treasure to suppress and refine many Immortal Kings and even Undying Kings.

At the same time, Kundi usually stays inside the Immortal Refining Gourd to cultivate and sleep.

At this moment, for the decisive battle between the Immortal Ancient Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths half a month later.

Kundi is cultivating and adjusting his physical state; he must ensure he is at his peak, so that when the time comes, he can definitely slaughter a few more Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Kings to nourish the Immortal Refining Gourd.

Suddenly, a chill rises behind Kundi, making his hair stand on end; his Primordial Spirit shudders, and goosebumps appear and disappear all over his body.

"? What is going on? I am an Undying King, eternal through the ages, how could I feel cold?"

Kundi's face is full of doubt, but he does not take it to heart and continues to cultivate.

In the dark, Kundi's Primordial Spirit fire and his essence, energy, and spirit drop significantly.

The next day.

Kundi continues to cultivate, but he is incessantly overcome by a wave of sleepiness and gives birth to an inexplicable sense of weakness.

At this time, he also realizes that his body might have a problem, but no matter how he checks, he finds no clues; there is absolutely nothing wrong.

His magic power is still as fierce as ever, capable of shattering half a universe with a single slap.

Yet the more this was the case, the more agitated Kundi became, his essence, energy, and spirit depleting rapidly.

On the third day, thick black phantoms appeared around Kundi's eyes and face, making him look as if he had overdrawn his Ancestral Blood; he suddenly aged tens of thousands of years, like a wretched old man.

Even so, Kundi continued to frantically search for the source of his problems, trapped in a cycle of constant internal attrition.

On the fourth day, Kundi finally lay down, for endless exhaustion had overwhelmed him, and he had no desire to move at all; at this moment, he realized that his lifespan had unknowingly been more than half depleted.

The fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day...

On the final day, Kundi lay in the Immortal Refining Gourd, gasping his last breaths; his entire body was like withered bone, with no Flesh left to be seen, as his essence, energy, and spirit had all been bowed away by the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book.

Kundi was bewildered; he felt that he might die the very next second, yet he simply could not understand why.

Seven days ago he had been perfectly fine, so how could he be on the verge of death after a mere seven days?

This kind of death was irreversible; even Devour-ing other life energy was useless.

In truth, this was also related to the fact that Kundi had never encountered the Curse Great Dao; the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book was Weirdness itself, but it was easy to break—one only needed to find the caster and shatter the curse formation before the seventh day, after which one would only need to recuperate, and everything would return to normal.

"Why? This Emperor is not reconciled!"

Kundi had only one breath left to roar, and at this moment, the culprit, An Lao Liu, appeared silently.
