Chapter 547: Analysis of the Four Immortals

"Why didn't we resurrect the Immortal in the future?"

The Immortal Ying Ying Tian asked this question, and the Immortal Realm fell silent; the four Immortals said nothing.

That was it; this was the biggest problem. If others couldn't resurrect the Immortal Fairy, couldn't any one of them do it?

It was just a matter of saying a name. If they wanted to say it, who could stop them?

"It's not just the Immortal; you, me—all four of us might have run into trouble!" the Immortal Immortal Jiu Chong said coldly. This was the only possibility.

Although it explained the previous question, a bigger problem lay before the four Immortals.

What exactly had happened that even they, the five ancient Immortals, had run into trouble?

"Could it be that the four of us are gone too?" the Immortal Qilin suddenly said, making even himself feel a chill in his heart.

After all, this was also a possibility. Even the Immortal Fairy had fallen; theoretically, it was feasible for the four of them to be wiped out.

"You're talking about the worst-case scenario, but that's unlikely," the Immortal of Time shook his head and analyzed.

"The Immortal was assassinated to death. This shows that the other party's strength might not be inferior to the Immortal's, or perhaps stronger, but only to a limited extent. They didn't form an overwhelming gap. In this situation, as long as the four of us unite, I presume that person in the shadows wouldn't be able to kill all four of us."

"By the way, Time, since you said the other party used a Dao Fruit to sever our connection with the future, can you determine how far into the future we were severed from?"

The Immortal of Time frowned. "I can try, but the probability of success isn't high. Give me a moment."

The Immortal of Time activated the Dao Fruit of Time again. The aura of chaos surged violently. His true self was completely above space-time, overlooking the entire space-time, only to find that the future was clear and bright, with no signs of severance or obstruction.

"How is it?"

"Just as I expected, it won't work. The future is too clear."

"What about the severance you mentioned?"

The Immortal of Time looked at the Immortal Qilin as if he were a fool. "You don't listen to my lectures when we have discussions at gatherings."

The Immortal Qilin was furious. He had been messed with by the Immortal of Time using the Dao Fruit of Time twice; he was no longer afraid of the Immortal of Time's methods. *Do you really think I can't beat you? *

Although the Immortal of Time mocked the Immortal Qilin, he still explained, "The future is uncertain. The future I see is merely the one most likely to happen. The closer the future I see is to the present, the higher the probability; the further away, the lower the probability."

"Assume the future I see is 'Future A,' which is the most likely to happen—a future where the Immortal is not assassinated."

"The one where the Immortal is assassinated is 'Future B.' When I was talking to the Immortal just now, it was because the Dao Fruit of Time established a connection with Future B. The so-called severance was severing my connection with Future B; there are no Future C or Future D."

"Does that mean the Immortal isn't necessarily assassinated?"

"No, the future is a straight line; it won't branch. The Immortal will definitely be assassinated, but from the perspective of the Dao Fruit of Time, this probability is very low and cannot be observed."

"Only when I cultivate the Dao Fruit of Time to the point of observing all futures will I discover the point of severance."

This line of the Immortal of Time didn't work, but the Immortals were not discouraged and continued to analyze the situation.

"Only an Immortal can hurt an Immortal. Being able to assassinate the Immortal means the other party is an Immortal. Now, besides the five of us, are there any other Immortals?"

The Immortal Immortal Jiu Chong had the most say in this regard. "According to my research, I was the first to become an Immortal, then the four of us became Immortals in turn, with the Immortal being the last. There is no sixth Immortal."

"In that case, there are two possibilities for the assassin who killed the Immortal," the Immortal Ying Ying Tian said, holding up two fingers.

"One is that someone becomes an Immortal in the future and has extremely high talent."

"The other is that it's not just the five of us Immortals now; there is a sixth Immortal!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

"That's impossible! The phenomenon of becoming an Immortal is so terrifying; how could the sixth person's becoming an Immortal be hidden!" Everyone had experienced the Tribulation of Becoming an Immortal; it was a world-destroying catastrophe. Even a blind person could see the existence of the tribulation; it absolutely couldn't be hidden.

"The Tribulation of Becoming an Immortal indeed cannot be hidden, but if the other party condensed a Dao Fruit of Causality, a Dao Fruit of Destiny, or something similar, using the power of the Dao Fruit to cover up their own existence, why not!"

Covering up oneself, forgetting oneself, also meant forgetting the terrifying Tribulation of Becoming an Immortal that had occurred before.

An Immortal who controls the Dao Fruit of Causality cannot become an Immortal above Immortals, but that doesn't mean they cannot become an Immortal.

"This also explains the severance the Immortal of Time mentioned: using the Dao Fruit of Causality to sever the causality between the present and the future."

"Or using the Dao Fruit of Destiny to sever the destiny of Huang Dou Dou's survival, changing her from living to dead. We know too much about the future, and the destiny of Huang Dou Dou's death would be affected, which is why the severance appeared, not letting us know too much!"

"At worst, there are other Dao Fruits we don't understand; there are plenty of possibilities."

In fact, they didn't know much about the Dao Fruit of Causality and the Dao Fruit of Destiny; these were all theoretical situations.

Without condensing a complete Dao Fruit, no one knew the specific power of the Dao Fruit.

For example, the Dao Fruit of Immortality—in the embryonic stage of the Dao Fruit, Huang Dou Dou only used the embryo of the Dao Fruit of Immortality to complete her own state, or was darting around in the statue.

Who would have thought that after condensing the complete Dao Fruit of Immortality, Huang Dou Dou could self-detonate anytime, anywhere, and could be resurrected if someone said her name.

"Or there is a third possibility for the assassin; anyway, I can't think of it now," the Immortal Ying Ying Tian shrugged. Thinking of two possibilities in the shortest time was not easy.

The other three Immortals also shook their heads, unable to think of a third possibility for the time being.

"Should we tell the Immortal about this?" the Immortal Qilin asked. The Immortal Ying Ying Tian and the Immortal of Time were both thinking about the feasibility.

"Absolutely not!" the Immortal Immortal Jiu Chong was the first to stand up and stop them.

"According to the Immortal's personality, if she knew she would be assassinated in the future, she might say, 'I'll commit suicide first so I won't be assassinated,' and then commit suicide on the spot, waiting quietly to be resurrected in the future!"

"She might even do other astonishing things!"

The Immortal Qilin: "..."

The Immortal Ying Ying Tian: "..."

The Immortal of Time: "..."

It seemed that was indeed Huang Dou Dou's style.

The Immortal Ying Ying Tian stretched. "Prepare slowly. I see that the Immortal won't be in trouble for a while. Time, you came out with the excuse of being a referee. Calculate the time; you should go back, otherwise, if the Immortal gets suspicious and comes to find us, it will be terrible."

Thinking of the food made by the Immortal Fairy and the Immortal Qilin's two wives, the Immortal of Time felt like dying together with them.

"Fine, who told me I'm unlucky?" The Immortal of Time sighed, dragging his body as if accepting his fate, preparing to return to the North Star.

"By the way, you three will probably take a hundred years to finish the chess game, which will definitely form a historical reflection. Delete the reflection of us meeting the future Immortal. If the person who assassinated the Immortal sees the historical reflection, wouldn't it expose the fact that the future Immortal can still be resurrected?"

"You are indeed insidious and cunning," the Immortal Ying Ying Tian praised, giving a thumbs up.

"This is called calculating without omission!" the Immortal of Time was furious.
