The sun and moon are both wrong: Starting with marrying Gongsun Ling

Chapter 27: Decision

"So, what should we do—"

Hai Shan was the one who accepted it the fastest, not to mention that they were old friends for decades.

Both he and Hu Dasheng understood that once Gao Haoguang made up his mind, he would never give up.

"Can these ten talismans and this Fruit of All Karma help you change the past?"

Gazing at the powerful magical talisman whose origins were unknown, and the fruit of myriad karma left over from the eleventh war of cause and effect—

Hai Shan asked softly.

"If it's simply about interfering with the past, then without a doubt—of course it's possible."

Gao Haoguang spread the Three True Bright Seed Talismans out in his palm. The patterns drawn with cinnabar on the talisman paper glowed with a faint light on the battlefield after the war of cause and effect ended.

The powerful magic talisman, even though it has been passed down from the time of the Turtle Immortal Lord, remains intact and untouched by birds or insects.

"The Three True Bright Child Talisman is a rare talisman of great supernatural power of cause and effect that even I cannot master. Even the original owner, the Eight Immortals, would have to pay an extremely high price to refine one."

"Each Three True Bright Child Talisman can contain 20% of the power of the Turtle Immortal Lord's innate divine power, the Eternal Bright Child."

"【Toko no Akiko】is able to use the results of all things to influence the past point in time represented by the results of all things."

"A full ten of them, plus this Fruit of Myriad Karmas left over from the Eleventh War of Cause and Effect, can interfere even with things from three thousand years ago—"

Hai Shan and Hu Dasheng's eyes lit up. They had thought that Gao Haoguang's words meant that everything was foolproof.

But then, seeing them breathe a sigh of relief, Gao Haoguang chuckled mischievously, throwing cold water on their hopes.

"But if you want to change the outcome of that causal drama, the things on their own are not enough."

Hu Dasheng frowned: "What do you mean... even after all this, it's still not enough?"

Hai Shan also couldn't understand: "Even if it was a decisive battle between the Lord of Life and Death and the greatest villain in history, it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?"

"Under the same rank, with ten Three True Bright Child Talismans and the Fruit of Myriad Karmas—"

"Still not enough?"

Gao Haoguang nodded firmly: "Not enough."

"Because of that battle, the Wanye faction was definitely not limited to Lü Buyi, who was the pinnacle and leader of the supernatural world—"

"Wang Baxianjun said that, according to the nature of Patriarch Canyi, he would have sent his primordial spirit to the future to help Patriarch Gongsun."

"With the assistance of the Eight Immortals, and if it weren't for someone else protecting Lü Buyi, they would never have lost."

Hai Shan seemed to be deep in thought: "So, the pinnacle and peak of the five supernatural worlds have gathered together in the eleventh war of cause and effect?"

"No, including me, there should be six of us, but I just haven't made a move yet—"

With neither Haishan nor Hudasheng reacting at all.

A clear, crisp female voice came from behind them.

But they were not panicked, including Gao Haoguang.

Because those standing there are witnesses from ancient times to the present who have been observing the battle of cause and effect since it began!

She would take the initiative to talk to him, and Hai Shan and Hu Dasheng knew without a doubt that it was Gao Haoguang's invitation.

"If they didn't make a move, doesn't that mean there were no other factors influencing them..." Hu Dasheng felt a chill run down his spine.

"The Three Truths School, with its larger membership, still lost?"

Neither witnesses from ancient times nor Gao Haoguang denied this.

The fact that the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries still exists today signifies the outcome of that battle.

But Gao Haoguang did not waste time on this; he always sought speed in everything he did.

"Thank you for accepting the invitation, senior." Gao Haoguang was very polite in the face of the witness from ancient and modern times.

"No need to be polite, Can Yi's grand-disciple. What do you want me to do for you? Just say it."

Hu Dasheng and Haishan both looked at Gao Haoguang.

The Demon Lord of the Unprincipled Laws made no polite gestures.

"Senior, could I borrow the book you have? I once obtained something related to that era from Lü Buyi when I was young, but to avoid consuming too much magic power during the search, I need specific time to locate it."

"If I help you, perhaps I will no longer be who I am after today."

The witness from ancient times did not answer whether she would help or not; she only spoke of the price to pay for doing so.

"Lu Buyi's [Practice the Fake to Return to the True] is too effective against me; he can even strike my true form at a very low cost—"

"Although you can see that I still exist in the present, if you were to change that moment, perhaps 'I' would no longer be me, but rather a 'false body' created by Lü Buyi."

Gao Haoguang did not give up; he directly said what Wang Baxianjun had told him.

"Senior has a very close relationship with that Immortal Thief of Karma—"

"He once helped the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries arrive ahead of schedule, so in a way, he can be considered His midwife."

"Lu Buyi is a person who values ​​relationships to the extreme, and this favor will surely offset his feelings."

The witness from ancient and modern times did not answer immediately; she first sighed.

Why be so fixated on that war?

"Canyi's grand-disciple, how can you be so sure that what you are doing now is not part of your destiny?"

"If you leave indelible damage in the process, and the outcome of that battle remains unchanged."

"What will happen on the final day?"

Gao Haoguang remained remarkably calm in the face of this question.

Hai Shan and Hu Dasheng both looked at Gao Haoguang.

They knew this person too well; the calmer he appeared, the more determined he had already made his decision.

Gao Haoguang didn't try to deflect the question with jokes as usual; he gave a direct answer:

"Senior, I can't be sure if all of this was destined—"

The witnesses from ancient times to the present did not speak; their eyes, which had seen countless cycles of cause and effect, birth and death, watched him quietly.

But that's not important.

Gao Haoguang's gaze passed over the witnesses of the past and present, landing on the sky behind her, which was distorted by the war of cause and effect.

Whether it was destined or not has never mattered.

"The important thing is—if I don't go, our chances of winning on the final day are only 30%."

"If I go and succeed, the odds of winning will be 100%. If I go and fail, it will only bring forward the 30% chance of failure."

The witness from ancient times to the present lowered her eyelashes. After a long while, she gently opened the wordless book in her hand.

"You're right... cause and effect are meant to be argued, not just talked about."

Her fingertips traced a page, and blurry ink marks gradually appeared on the page.

"But the price I just mentioned is not an exaggeration. If Lü Buyi's 'Practicing the False to Return to the True' were to act on me through causal regression, I would have no power to resist."

Whether he will value Chen's kindness to the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries, no one can be sure—

"So this might be the last time we see each other."

"I hope that when you see me next time, I won't have become Lü Buyi's puppet."
