Chapter 30: Gongsun Ling on the Battlefield Again
Lu Buyi has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards witnesses from ancient and modern times.
On one hand, she was a close friend of Master Canyi; on the other hand, she was the fourth master recognized by Jiang Mingzi.
Before today, Lü Buyi's relationship with the two men was not bad, so he would not have any hostility towards Atong.
In fact, just as Lü Buyi had said before.
Although he knew that witnesses from ancient and modern times were biased, as long as she didn't interfere, Lü Buyi wouldn't take the initiative to attack her.
—I want to record and witness the history of the supernatural world, and I want to see whether the Myriad Corpse Immortals will be born or perish on the final day.
In Lü Buyi's view, this was not a wish that could not be understood, and witnesses throughout history have never interfered with the outside world.
So he can choose to ignore her.
But now she's made a fool of herself and attacked.
Lü Buyi was not an arrogant person, but he was still taken aback by this kind of overbearing behavior.
Apart from Gongsun Ling and Huang, there is no one else he can deliberately tolerate.
"I clearly warned you beforehand, why did you have to challenge the credibility of my words?"
Lu Buyi shook his head and looked at Huang beside him: "Huang, do I look like a person with a good temper?"
"Not really," Huang replied truthfully.
"So, senior, even my friend who's not good at reading people can see that, don't you understand?"
Lü Buyi sighed softly, clenching the hand that had been extended to witnesses throughout history. The fluctuations of the [Refinement of the False to the True] technique appeared:
"Even Ah Ling can't sway me, do you think I'm easy to talk to?"
The witnesses, both past and present, hadn't even had time to continue their sophistry, or even to use Chen's kindness towards the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries as leverage.
Lü Buyi had already decided to kill him.
A fluctuation in causality appeared, and the process of "returning to the true nature through practice" began to travel directly along the causal line to Atanna's original form a thousand years ago—
Truth and falsehood intertwined, falsehood and truth...
Atuna was able to witness the future only because he entrusted his will to his innate supernatural power, "Knowledge of Past and Present".
Without any other supernatural powers—
For example, with the help of the powerful magic she used to practice the fake-to-real talisman, this process is irreversible.
So, here's the problem.
Can a supernatural being whose lifespan is nearing its end, whose physical body is disintegrating, and whose consciousness has vanished from this era be considered alive?
This is why the practice of "returning to the truth through practice" restrains witnesses from both ancient and modern times.
Atun's entire body was covered in negative status effects.
Therefore, Lü Buyi could, at a minimal cost, immediately bring about the moment of her physical annihilation.
Lifespan nearing its end, body decaying, consciousness fading...
Of course I can say you're dead.
On the contrary, what makes you think you're still alive?
What? You're saying your consciousness actually went to the future with your innate supernatural power?
Looking at the law of causality, say it again: do you admit that it is your consciousness that has traveled to the future?
If you confess, you'll be punished to death; if you don't confess, it means you can't prove you're not dead.
Since you can't prove it, then just accept the distorted result of practicing the fake to return to the real!
As for whether prematurely causing the deaths of the witnesses from ancient and modern times will have an impact on the future and bring about the punishment of the law of cause and effect.
Lü Buyi was not worried at all.
Theoretically speaking, after Atanna's physical body perishes, the witnesses from past and present who exist in the future will also perish.
From this perspective, Lü Buyi's actions do indeed seem to have an impact on the future.
But since the law of causality requires a future with witnesses throughout history—
Then Lü Buyi sent Him another witness from ancient and modern times, who had been created through the process of "returning from falsehood to truth".
Let it continue along the original path of the true witnesses of the past and present.
Throughout history, which has already been witnessed, the law of causality has always demanded that it remain unchanged.
As for whether a person's inner self has changed, as long as that person's behavior is not problematic, then He doesn't care at all.
And because witnesses throughout history have only ever witnessed, they have almost never interfered with reality.
Even the few stories he had with Jiang Mingzi were perfectly clear to Lü Buyi.
Therefore, Lü Buyi's puppets would almost never reveal any flaws in the face of causality.
[Practice Makes Perfect] Restraint over Atona is not just talk.
This whole process is perfectly reasonable, and even the punishment of causality will not be imposed.
"Senior, do you have any last words?"
At a moment when witnesses from ancient and modern times are about to be wiped out, Lü Buyi asks a symbolic, polite question.
"Is it possible to reach a settlement?"
After noticing the fluctuations of [Practicing the False and Returning to the True] pause for a moment.
The witnesses from ancient times to the present finally had a chance to speak, and asked in a serious tone.
Lü Buyi raised an eyebrow: "Senior, are you joking?"
"I gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you didn't seize it..."
"How about we make a deal?" the witness from ancient times continued.
"I don't think you have anything to offer that would make me let you go."
"Actually, if it were facing you, she might actually have that kind of leverage," Huang interjected appropriately.
Lu Buyi looked at Huang, but he didn't remember A Tong having such a thing.
Even if we were to extend our favor to the patriarch, it would be far from enough at this point...
"The Immortal Who Steals Business—" Huang said succinctly, exchanging a glance with Lü Buyi.
But Lü Buyi became confused and turned his attention back to the witnesses from ancient and modern times.
"I heard from Patriarch Canyi that you and he once fought a great battle because of the Immortal Stealing Karma's premature descent into the myriad realms."
"He will then be banned for life."
Lu Buyi asked softly, "With such a deep-seated grudge, would he be willing to use his personal connections to help you?"
The witnesses from ancient and modern times simply nodded; she didn't explain much.
They just used Lü Buyi as an example.
"Faced with the same situation, if you were Chen, or if I or Canyi were Gongsun Ling, would you have stood by and watched Gongsun Ling die?"
"vice versa."
Those who witnessed this throughout history clearly noticed that Lü Buyi's gaze softened somewhat.
But he still hasn't let go.
There won't be a next time.
Lu Buyi said this, but although he did not continue to clench his fist, he slowly opened his hand.
Then, the purpose of "practicing the fake to return to the real" changed.
Witnesses throughout history have no idea what he did.
But now she can at least be sure that she won't die.
Did I make the right bet?
I'm afraid not.
Because Lu Buyi must have done something to me just now; he must have left some kind of backup plan on me.
But witnesses from ancient times to the present can't say anything, since he was in the wrong from the start, so it's only natural that Lü Buyi would do this.
"Get out of here—"
"I'll spare your life this time."
After recovering the only favor left in the world by the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Businesses.
Having conveniently left a contingency plan on her, making some preparations for the final day, Lü Buyi no longer paid attention to the witnesses from ancient and modern times.
His gaze returned to the direction where Gongsun Ling and Can Yi had been blasted away.
There……
A causal fluctuation appeared, completely different from Gao Haoguang's innate divine ability—
Could it be that he can switch freely between his innate divine power and his natural divine power like I can?
No, he probably couldn't do it, otherwise, in his own perception, his innate supernatural power wouldn't be in its current incomplete state.
So it can only be... a powerful talisman that carries his innate divine power?
"Pre-selection of the body in the illusory world and the true world... Pre-selection talisman in the illusory world and the true world."
Based on the information provided by Baili Yuan, Lü Buyi deduced Gao Haoguang's innate ability and roughly guessed what he was going to do.
"It seems the second half will continue, and they will have to fight again."
Lü Buyi sighed.
Because within his line of sight, fluctuations of the [Simultaneous Life-Changing] technique began to appear on the clouds not far away—
"We all change our fate at the same time; who can say that a person's position is not a form of destiny?"
Lu Buyi sighed softly, only now finally taking it seriously.
The fact that such precise operations can be achieved using the "Simultaneous Change of Fate" technique can only prove one thing.
That is, the injury I inflicted on Gongsun Ling, which can only be healed by time and cannot be transferred, has been cured.
Lü Buyi was certain that he had guessed correctly.
Because the next moment, what appeared before him and Huang was...
It was Gongsun Ling, whose Dharma body was intact, who had been directly transferred from the outer reaches of the solar system with Can Yi!
"Come, without doubt—"
Gongsun Ling, now fully recovered from her injuries, reached out her hand, just as she had done years ago when she persuaded Lü Buyi to stay and leave the mountain.
Her attitude was resolute, and her magical energy surged.
"Let's fight again!"
