Wu Xiaode opened his eyes.
The room was very quiet, without a sound.
The faint light filtered through the window screen, casting dim outlines on the tables and the bedside cabinet.
It was almost dawn.
Wu Xiaode lay in bed unmoving, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
—Before dawn, he had finished the inauguration task ahead of ti and woken up from his dream.
In his mind, the Book of the Dead had already opened, revealing rows of ice crystal small letters:
"Inauguration task completed."
"Your occupation has been granted as: ???."
"The reason for this is that your occupation has yet to be finalized."
"The Holy Spirits of Purgatory and the Eternal Night World have bestowed upon you the power of Causality Law, helping you to construct the Causality Law Spell you desire."
"Only when this spell materializes will you truly succeed in your inauguration."
Wu Xiaode closed his eyes.
The world turned into pure whiteness.
Within this vast expanse of white, there floated an undulating black sphere.
It looked sowhat like it was made of water, but if one were to concentrate and observe carefully, they would discover that countless runes were flickering within the sphere.
An epiphany flashed through Wu Xiaode’s mind.
—This was the Causality Law under construction, forged by the collective Holy Spirits of Purgatory and the Eternal Night World.
Currently, it had the rules but had not yet manifested the Causality Law.
—Only waiting for him to endow it with the corresponding causality!
Wu Xiaode exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
He had already obtained one of the most precious powers from Purgatory and the Eternal Night Tower.
But the Holy Spirits had said—
None of their Causality Law Skills had defeated the Feeding Demon Master.
So.
Now ca the most crucial step.
How should he construct this Causality Law Spell?
Wu Xiaode started to silently recall every confrontation he had with the Demon Lord.
But it was fruitless.
He also ticulously revisited the scenes in the Human Emperor’s Inheritance, where the strong fought against the Demon Lord.
Sotis he would also imrse himself in the mories of Li Chengfeng, the All Worlds Sword Saint—
Li Chengfeng was one who could communicate up close with the Demon Lord. He didn’t have to fight, and could just observe those Demon Lords.
Three perspectives, repeatedly scrutinizing back and forth.
Idea after idea surfaced in Wu Xiaode’s mind, only to be swiftly rejected by him.
After all—
What kind of Causality Law could stand a fight against the Demon Lord?
Wu Xiaode pondered in a self-forgetful trance.
Unknowingly, the dawn grew brighter.
Sounds ca from the corridor.
It was Shen Feixue and Shen Xiujun washing up together.
After a while.
Footsteps echoed on the stairs.
The two won were going downstairs to make breakfast.
Wu Xiaode’s gaze was vacant, as if his mind had wandered so far he didn’t notice anything around him.
So ti passed.
The scent of food wafted over.
A knock sounded at the door.
Following that, Shen Xiujun’s voice was heard:
"Little Brother Wu, it’s ti for breakfast."
"Okay, I’ll be right down," Wu Xiaode responded lacklusterly.
—It’s truly difficult.
The Demon Lord was so powerful that finding a Causality Law Spell to counter it seed as hard as reaching the skies!
This had already stumped countless heroic figures.
Although Wu Xiaode had a vague feeling in his heart, he still couldn’t grasp the essence of it.
Shen Xiujun’s voice hesitated outside the door:
"Little Brother Wu, why does your voice sound so listless?"
Before Wu Xiaode could reply, she continued:
"Do you need a girlfriend? I’ve heard that boys with girlfriends are always spirited every day and won’t suffer like you at night."
Wu Xiaode’s eyes sharpened.
If just a mont ago he was still soaked in contemplation, in an instant, he beca fully alert.
—This creature, wanting to curry favor with so early in the morning?
To be honest—
It’s only because he knew it was a creature.
Any boy unaware of this, faced with such a cute and beautiful girl asking if he wanted a girlfriend—
The ga would be over on the spot.
"Cut the nonsense. I’m going to take a shower, and I’ll be right down to eat—don’t you dare peep at a boy taking a shower, understand?" Wu Xiaode called out loudly.
"Oh, I’m going to serve the food, so co down quickly," Shen Xiujun replied promptly, not disheartened as she turned and thumped down the stairs.
Wu Xiaode went to the bathroom, turned on the showerhead, and started showering.
Geesh.
She really is tough to deal with.
Exactly what kind of Causality Law Spell should he devise to handle the Feeding Demon Master?
Standing under the shower letting the cold water stream down his body, his mind searched through past knowledge, desperately trying to think of a strategy.
This process continued until he put on clean clothes, descended the stairs, and sat down at the dining table.
Shen Feixue was serving him vegetables.
"Where’s your sister?" Wu Xiaode picked up his bowl and asked casually.
"She’s still in the kitchen making Zhajiang noodles for you, she’ll be here soon," Shen Feixue replied.
Wu Xiaode glanced casually towards the kitchen.
Because of his vantage point, he couldn’t see Shen Xiujun, but he could hear all the movents in the kitchen.
Without warning.
A sense of connection appeared in his heart.
"Ah..."
He muttered softly.
"What?" Shen Feixue didn’t catch that.
"It’s nothing—let’s eat," Wu Xiaode said.
He continued to look toward the kitchen.
Rows of ice crystal small letters appeared beside him on the Book of the Dead:
"You now possess the source for the ergence of constructing a Causality Law Spell, so you have a certain likelihood of sensing other nearby Causality Law Spells."
A sensation...
Wu Xiaode focused on the kitchen direction, where within his line of sight he could see a dense array of Law Runes flickering without end in the Void.
These runes ford a complex and elegant vast figure, passing through the confines of the house, and in the unseen Inner World space, they constructed an enormously large triangular structure.
Atop this massive triangle burned the Law Flas, slowly revolving within the realm invisible to mortals.
It occasionally sent out runes, turning into white chains of runes, one end connected to Shen Xiujun’s wrist, the other end bound around Wu Xiaode’s waist.
—This was the Causality Law Spell of the Feeding Demon Master.
"How astonishing..."
Wu Xiaode muttered silently in his heart.
He turned his attention inward to the source of Law he had obtained.
——It was only the size of a fist.
At this mont, Wu Xiaode suddenly understood sothing.
The reason those Holy Spirits could not defeat the Catastrophe Demon, it wasn’t just a matter of the construction of the Causality Law.
There was another critical point——
Quantity.
Gathering the Power of so many Holy Spirits, only then did a fist-sized "erging" Law condense within him.
The Catastrophe Demon’s Causality Law Magic was as massive as a building.
The gap between the two was so obvious.
Even if he had condensed a Causality Law capable of contending with the Catastrophe Demon, it would be utterly crushed before the opposition’s Causality Law Magic.
——This is what’s called the "priority" of Magic.
Without a doubt, the Catastrophe Demon’s Causality Law Magic would take effect earlier than his own Magic, acting more swiftly, and with an irresistible force, it would shatter his Causality Law Magic.
This is a battle beyond the level of rules!
And his own Magic is fated not to withstand the Catastrophe Demon’s Magic!
This was an obvious fact, just like a mantis could never stop a speeding car, there was simply no probability of victory.
Wu Xiaode looked away and picked up his bowl, gently blowing on the hot steam rising from the porridge.
——So we can’t win.
No way to win, no strength to win, no ans to win.
"The noodles are ready!"
Shen Xiujun’s cheerful voice ca through.
Wu Xiaode gently closed his eyes, reigned in his thoughts, and bowed his head to eat.
A bowl of noodles was placed on the table before him.
"Brother Wu, I made this zhajiang noodles myself, would you like to try it?"
Shen Xiujun asked eagerly.
Wu Xiaode glanced at the bowl of noodles.
It had the complete blend of color, aroma, and flavor.
One only needed to sll it to know, there couldn’t be better-tasting zhajiang noodles than these.
"Thanks, but how did you know I like zhajiang noodles?"
Wu Xiaode asked with feigned curiosity.
"I guessed," said Shen Xiujun, covering her mouth and giggling rrily.
——Any boy would surely be moved.
But Wu Xiaode knew, perhaps it truly was a random guess that happened to land on what he liked.
To construct such a vast and intricate Causality Law Magic, how powerful it must be!
All things and beings in the world might be seen through with just one glance, disclosing all their informational elents.
"Wow, it slls so good," Wu Xiaode exclaid.
He picked up his chopsticks and began to mix the noodles, ready to take his first bite.
After all, he had no reason whatsoever to refuse.
He had actually already lost.
Upon seeing that Causality Law Magic, he knew quite clearly that his Magic could not surpass the Catastrophe Demon’s Magic.
What to do?
Wu Xiaode took a mouthful of noodles and praised, "This will definitely be the best zhajiang noodles I’ve ever tasted."
"I’m glad you like it, eat up,"
Shen Xiujun said, sneakily glancing at him with a slight blush on her face.
Everything was just right.
Even a dog that ca by would be moved and fall for her.
Irresistible.
Indefensible.
Unbeatable.
What to do?
Wu Xiaode blew a breath of air onto the noodles.
In an instant.
A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind.
He rembered those Heroic Spirits that traversed the Death World and then thought of Li Changfeng, who bore his humiliation stoically.
Everyone was destined to die.
All were dood to failure.
No exceptions.
Right.
Not right!
Correct——
Li Changfeng.
How did he escape being killed?
A glint of light flashed in Wu Xiaode’s eyes.
The entire world seed to suddenly brighten, as if amidst the endless despair and darkness, a hint of hope had quietly erged.
In a flash.
The Book of the Dead displayed a line of ice crystal small characters:
"You have planned everything for your Causality Law Magic."
"Please na this Magic."
"You have set the na for this Magic."
"Your Causality Law Magic is currently exclusive to you:"
"If you can’t beat them, join them."
"Your Causality Law Magic has now been born."
"Activation condition:"
"Whisper: ’Add in.’"
"Effect: rge into an existing Causality Law Magic, granting you a second player’s right to use the Magic."
"Add in," Wu Xiaode whispered.
Another line of ice crystal small characters appeared:
"It is about to rge into the Catastrophe Demon’s Causality Law Magic. Do you have any last additions?"
Wu Xiaode swallowed the noodles in one gulp, a smile appearing on his face.
"It really is delicious, Xiujun,"
he said earnestly.
"There’s also a bowl of soup, specially brewed for you," Shen Xiujun stuck out her tongue at him playfully, then turned and went back into the kitchen.
Nothing.
No further additions.
From now on——
Let’s hurt each other.
Wu Xiaode watched her retreating figure and thought silently.
A few more lines of ice crystal small characters followed:
"The opposition’s Causality Law Magic is imnsely powerful."
"Your Causality Law Magic has submitted to the opposition’s Magic, thus allowing you to rge into it and generate a player position for yourself: 2P."
"Now, please start to garner the opposition’s good feelings."
"Once you have successfully accumulated their reputation to the level of ’Adoration’, you will be able to obtain their most precious thing, and kill them."
"——Let love decide everything, young man!"
