Chapter 420 The Ancient and Modern Recorder (Finale)

Su Chen closed the Book of Karma.

"So that is how it is. You regard me with such caution. It seems the future me will cause you no small amount of trouble."

The Profound Yin Immortal King said nothing.

Su Chen took his silence as acknowledgment.

"You wish for me to remain here with you forever… yet on this matter, you should first ask whether I am willing."

The Profound Yin Immortal King's expression turned strange. "Although I look down on that fellow Imperial Extremity, the present spacetime has already formed a closed loop. No matter what you do, you will still remain here. So forgive me for not seeking your opinion. Your opinion is simply not important."

Su Chen placed the Book of Karma at his waist.

"Since you cannot kill me and can only keep me trapped here… then, in other words, if I kill you here, I will be able to leave?"

The Profound Yin Immortal King looked startled for a moment, then burst into loud laughter. "You want to kill me? Do you know the gap between us? Even if you die ten thousand times or a hundred million times, the outcome will never change!"

...

"The Witness has disappeared!"

"This is bad. That fellow Profound Yin has also disappeared!"

When the Lord of Primus saw Su Chen and the Profound Yin Immortal King vanish together, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Across one spacetime after another, Immortal Kings of the 'Scourge' side attempted to slip through, yet most were intercepted by other Immortal Kings and forced to clash in unknown spacetimes.

Yet with the appearance of the Imperial Extremity Immortal King, even though four of his ten lifetimes of Immortal King Dao Fruits had been severed—nearly half of them—still no one could stop him.

As ripples appeared one after another, an enormous eyeball suddenly opened. It held not the slightest emotion.

It was the Lord of the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Dao Court, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao that existed across the heavens, a powerhouse infinitely close to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

"Imperial Extremity Immortal King, you should stop here!"

The Imperial Extremity Immortal King sneered with disdain. "Lord of the Heavenly Dao, even you dare to block this King!"

In his prime, he had never needed to pay much attention to the Lord of the Heavenly Dao.

The Lord of the Heavenly Dao remained without joy or sorrow.

The Imperial Extremity Immortal King continued, "Actually, the one launching the charge this time is not this King. If you wish to block this King, then block me… At least I only have to face you rather than Him."

The gaze of the Lord of the Heavenly Dao froze.

At the far end of the interwoven great net, only black and white remained. A single figure seemed to separate two worlds.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

At that moment, faint cracks began to appear within the interwoven great net…

A light, cheerful voice rang out. From the other side of the cracks in the great net, a radiance surged forth, interweaving and reforming into a figure that looked toward the existence seated above the net.

"The Fourth Scourge Lord…"

At that moment, the pupils of the Lord of Primus sharply contracted.

The Fourth Scourge Lord had appeared once more.

"How is this possible… Was He not already nonexistent?"

The Fourth Scourge Lord had reappeared. No wonder the Imperial Extremity Immortal King had dared to launch the impact so quickly. He had been creating an opportunity for the Fourth Scourge Lord!

In the pupils of the figure seated at the end of the great net was reflected the Fourth Scourge Lord. He murmured, "So that is how it is… From the very beginning, the target of all this was you."

No one dared underestimate the Fourth Scourge Lord. After all, this existence had once faced those several beings directly!

Although the previous great war had ended in a hasty conclusion.

Across the heavens, certain traces seemed to begin being erased. With the appearance of the Fourth Scourge Lord, some error was being corrected!

...

The Profound Yin Immortal King looked at the masked existence before him and said, "You are too late. He has already returned. The Lord of Life and Death has been entangled by Him. Before long, you will gradually be corrected and become one of us, jointly witnessing a new world that belongs to the existence of 'Scourge'!"

Su Chen looked at the Profound Yin Immortal King and had to admit that this fellow was indeed extremely strong. Neither of them could kill the other.

Su Chen paid no attention to the Profound Yin Immortal King's words. At this moment, his mind seemed submerged in a certain place, and he had no heart to respond.

For he had discovered something.

He could actually sense the existence of the Reverse Fate Scripture!

Previously, he had only been able to enter the Reverse Fate Space after death. Now he found that this rule seemed to have been broken!

...

Inside the Reverse Fate Space, Su Chen opened his eyes.

He had indeed returned here!

No. More accurately, a portion of him had returned here. The part that belonged to the Witness was still confronting the Profound Yin Immortal King.

Su Chen's expression turned strange.

The Profound Yin Immortal King was delaying him? Now who exactly was delaying whom?

"The current me can actually grasp a portion of the authority of the Reverse Fate Scripture. It is no longer like before, when I could only return to the Reverse Fate Scripture after death. Now I can control the Reverse Fate Scripture and open a new lifetime. That new lifetime will become the new me, while the old lifetime will still exist, only as the old me. Only the me who holds the Reverse Fate Scripture will possess infinite futures."

The path walked by the Imperial Extremity Immortal King allowed ten Immortal King Dao Fruits to possess a status surpassing ordinary Immortal Kings. Su Chen discovered that he seemed able to do the same… if he could find the spacetime line sealed by the Profound Yin Immortal King.

"The Imperial Extremity Immortal King tried to kill me, yet after countless attempts using the power of 'Scourge,' he still failed. That is why he called me an unkillable cockroach… He could only think of a way to trap me, believing this would completely 'erase' me.

"Perhaps he merely regarded me as an existence of the same status as the Fourth Scourge Lord.

"Yet he never expected that I possessed the Reverse Fate Scripture. The existence of the Reverse Fate Scripture grants me countless destinies and the possibility of rewriting fate."

Su Chen looked at the Reverse Fate Scripture before him. Hundreds of thousands of lifetimes had already passed, representing that he had indeed died that many times.

Su Chen opened a new chapter.

[You have not died, yet your influence in this life is significant. Do you wish to settle?]

Su Chen chose to settle.

[In the two hundred forty-five thousand three hundred sixty-first lifetime, you began by being born in a world of ice and snow and nearly froze to death. Fortunately, through the kindness of good people, you successfully survived. Knowing that a great enemy was secretly obstructing your cultivation, you chose another path. You entrusted someone to forge a bronze mask. Upon that bronze mask, you carved a simple formation with your final hope, ensuring the mask could not be easily destroyed.

The existence of this mask spanned countless years and witnessed countless experiences, transforming into an object interwoven with karma. That karmic object therefore contained infinite profundities, and from it a 'He' would be born… This 'He' was a collective of infinite wills. Relying on an indestructible will, you stood out among the wills formed by the infinite living beings and seized the dominant position. You succeeded and obtained a new life.

Thereafter, you experienced many things, planting causes and reaping fruits. In the end, under the guidance of an old acquaintance from the past, you severed the cause and seized the fruit, returning once more to the position of Immortal King.

You have preliminarily grasped the Reverse Fate Scripture.
