Chapter 1662 [Causeless Cause]
Zhang San?
Hundreds of years as your most trusted servant?
A hint of confusion first appeared in [Chaos]’s eyes, followed by sudden realization.
Oh, it’s Zhang San!
How could I have forgotten him?
As my most loyal servant, Zhang San has followed Him for hundreds of years. Although he was a child from a mountain village, his talent was quite decent. Years ago when I was traveling through Zhang Family Valley, I happened to encounter this child fighting with other children.
This child was physically weak and couldn’t beat the other children, but after each beating, he would use schemes and tricks to lure those who beat him to the edge of a ravine, and when they weren’t paying attention, push them down to their deaths.
Gradually, all the village children were killed by him. The villagers realized Zhang San’s treacherous and vicious nature and were about to drown him in a pig cage when I stepped in to save him.
Later, Zhang San, to repay the life-saving favor, directly kowtowed to him and asked to be his disciple. He liked this child’s personality very much and accepted him as his servant. Although many people and gods believed in him, Zhang San was absolutely the most loyal one.
Public Lamb Wan’s expression softened somewhat, and she asked Zhang San, “Why can’t we kill him?”
“Lord [Chaos], how come you don’t remember anything?” Zhang San sighed, stepped to Public Lamb Wan’s side, and whispered in her ear,
“Because… I’m going to kill you.”
The moment those words fell, a broken sword pierced through Public Lamb Wan’s skull from under her chin, splitting her head in two. Fresh blood splattered everywhere as the corpse fell stiffly to the ground.
Lin Qiye flicked the blood off his blade, his cold gaze looking down at the corpse at his feet, and calmly said:
“Not hiding in the tongue… It seems I’ll have to let you struggle a bit longer.”
The corpse of Public Lamb Wan on the ground quickly transformed into an eyeball-covered willow branch. A black light flew out from her abdomen, and [Chaos]’s severed finger opened a bloody mouth on its fingertip, from which a roar emerged:
“You?! What exactly did you do?!”
At this moment, [Chaos] finally regained clarity. Looking at the coldly smiling Lin Qiye before Him, and recalling His own absurd behavior just now, He felt His lungs would explode with anger.
His most loyal servant Zhang San?!
A child from a mountain village?!
He even fucking traveled to Zhang Family Valley and greatly appreciated this treacherous child?!
How did He accept such a ridiculous setup just now? These things clearly never happened, but He seemed to have personally experienced them… to the extent that in that brief moment, He truly regarded Lin Qiye as His most trusted servant.
[Chaos] knew clearly that although He was only a finger segment here, without any of His true body’s combat power, and had to rely on the physical bodies of counterfeit Wuquan and counterfeit Public Lamb Wan to move around, He was still a finger of one of the Three Pillar Gods. Even some illusions or cognitive confusion abilities should have almost no effect on Him.
“You’ve awakened?” [Chaos] seemed to have guessed something. “What ability is that?!”
Lin Qiye slowly raised his left hand, and a ball of light appeared in his palm. From the light extended a thread that had somehow already wrapped around [Chaos]’s finger.
—[Causeless Cause].
Compared to [Predetermined Effect], the ability of [Causeless Cause] was more obscure and hollow. As far as Lin Qiye currently understood, this ability represented a “cause without origin,” capable of creating a non-existent causal relationship out of thin air—illogical and absurd, yet the starting point of all things in the world, the cause of all effects.
Lin Qiye certainly wouldn’t reveal his forbidden domain to [Chaos]. Threads extended from the light in his palm into the void.
“Guess?” Lin Qiye said coldly.
As his words fell, an astonishing divine power erupted from the Ame-no-Murakumo sword in Lin Qiye’s hand. The surface of this long-dormant divine weapon finally radiated a dazzling divine light, as if completely activated, emitting a sharp hum!
“You’re not its master, and you haven’t become a god, yet you can fully control it?” Seeing this, [Chaos] connected it to his recent experience and said in a deep voice, “Could it be that your forbidden domain is related to cause and effect?”
Lin Qiye didn’t answer. He gripped the Ame-no-Murakumo sword and slashed a lightning-fast arc of sword light in front of him!
The sword light cut across heaven and earth, a sword mark extending from the ruins on the ground all the way to the horizon. The dark clouds above Chang’an City and the surging phantasmal smoke nearby were instantly cut open. No matter how the clouds and smoke churned, they could never reunite, as if an invisible wall separated them.
This Ame-no-Murakumo sword was snatched by him and Jialan from Susanoo’s hands. Lin Qiye was not its master, and without divine power, it was even more difficult to unleash its full power. So until now, Lin Qiye had only been using it as a close-combat weapon.
But now things were different.
Looking carefully, one could see a causal thread extending from [Causeless Cause], connecting to the hilt of the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, floating gently.
Under the power of [Causeless Cause], Lin Qiye directly created a brand new causal relationship with the Ame-no-Murakumo sword. In that causal relationship, he was the master of the Ame-no-Murakumo sword… Now, he could directly unleash the true power of the Ame-no-Murakumo sword without having become a god!
Nothing it cannot cut, and whatever is cut cannot be repaired, even clouds and mist are no exception… This is the supreme killing divine weapon of Takamagahara, the Ame-no-Murakumo sword!
A blood line appeared on the surface of [Chaos]’s finger, with the sword mark deeply embedded in it. But this finger was too hard—even the Ame-no-Murakumo sword at full power could only cut this deep wound into the bone, unable to completely sever it.
With this sword strike, the severed finger sensed the danger. Its form transformed into a beam of light, howling as it flew toward the distance!
It was escaping!
Having lost Public Lamb Wan as a vessel, it was just a hard finger. In front of Lin Qiye who possessed the causal forbidden domain, it had almost no chance of winning. It wasn’t easy for it to return to this era from two thousand years in the future. If it were to be destroyed here, not only would the power of the [Key of the Door] be wasted, but it would also completely lose this finger.
As long as it survived, even in this era, it could still plan another killing trap for Lin Qiye and still have a chance to complete its mission!
Lin Qiye stood still, quietly watching this scene. His right hand gently raised, and a causal thread emanating from that severed finger, spanning hundreds of meters through the void, was pinched between his fingertips.
Looking at this causal thread belonging to the severed finger in his hand, Lin Qiye calmly said:
“I’d like to see… where you think you can escape to?”
