Chapter 224: Closed-Loop Worlds – Surviving for One Day! (3)
This kind of situation, specifically targeted by the Universal Consciousness, was enough to demonstrate how unfavorable the evil deities were treated by the Universal Consciousness.
As for why the Universal Consciousness didn’t simply destroy these evil deities, there might be some special reasons, but Su Yang didn’t know for now. It could be a matter of power or perhaps other issues.
“Su Friend, we only need a casual clone to enter this closed-loop world. The strength of the demon inside isn’t very strong; it’s only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement. If we weren’t restricted to following the rules inside, I could blow this demon away with a breath,” Cao Tianle explained.
“Good,” Su Yang acknowledged.
In an instant, a sword intent clone appeared. He could manifest the first form of his clone’s sword technique.
From this point on, they only needed to wait for the closed-loop world to begin replaying.
However, Su Yang had more thoughts on his mind. Despite the demon’s strength being only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, based on what Cao Tianle and his group said, they could only raise their strength to the second level of Qi Refinement during their exploration before the demon appeared at night. This put them in completely different leagues.
One minute passed quickly. When the time came, the stagnant black mist in front of them started to flow, signaling that it was time to enter.
“Let’s go!”
With a thought, their seven clone figures entered the closed-loop world.
Liu Family Village
“Creak…”
Su Yang pushed open a wooden door and stepped out of a room.
“I’ve been limited to an ordinary person…”
After briefly assessing his current strength, he found that it was as Cao Tianle and others had described. Upon entering this world, their abilities were restricted.
These restrictions could be broken at any time, but breaking them would also disrupt the rules, making it impossible to shatter the closed-loop world. The consequence would be expulsion from the closed-loop world by the evil deity.
Su Yang took a moment to observe the surrounding environment. It was a typical ancient small village without any distinctive features. The village was home to just a few dozen households and wasn’t very large.
Soon, Su Yang joined Cao Tianle and the others. The time in this closed-loop world was early morning, around 6 0’clock.
“Let’s go. First, we’ll save that injured Daoist,” Cao Tianle led the group towards the village.
Su Yang followed silently, contemplating many things. Inside a closed-loop world, there wouldn’t be any clues, meaning all information needed to be collected personally. To discover how to break the world’s closed loop, they would have to explore, find a way to locate any vitality left by the evil deity when arranging the world’s operating rules.
Considering this, Su Yang wondered if he could utilize his “Cause and Effect Sword Technique” in this closed-loop world. While he couldn’t exert his powers inside the closed-loop world, he might be able to use his abilities outside the closed-loop world to deduce the world’s operating rules and find a way to break it.
He decided to give it a try. Su Yang’s primary body outside the closed-loop world activated his sword intent, enveloping the entire closed-loop world, using the “Cause and Effect Sword Technique” to collect the necessary information and deduce the world’s operating rules to find a solution.
After some experimentation, it indeed worked. Inside the closed-loop world, Su Yang had a different perspective on the world. He saw five golden threads of causality, each pointing in a direction relevant to breaking the world’s closed loop.action
One of them seemed to correspond to the injured Daoist they were heading to. However, to successfully use this ability, one needed to have a higher realm than the evil deity who created the closed-loop world. Currently, the evil deity’s realm in front of Su Yang was only at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm, making it easy for Su Yang to deduce the world’s operating rules. If the evil deity who created the closed-loop world had a higher realm than Su Yang, he wouldn’t be able to deduce the rules.
This newfound ability could assist Su Yang significantly. He no longer needed to waste time collecting information within the closed-loop world like Cao Tianle and the others. Now he could directly pinpoint the key points for breaking the closed loop. The causality threads indicated where the world’s crucial factors lay.
However, these threads didn’t provide specific information about the nature of these factors, their significance, or how they could help. All of this would require Su Yang to explore and discover on his own.
This advantage saved Su Yang a great deal of time and avoided the confusion of entering the world with limited information. It was easy to get stuck if you missed a key piece of information, which could prevent you from progressing. Su Yang decided to follow the guidance of the first causality thread.
With the realms of all of them suppressed to that of ordinary people, it took about fifteen minutes to reach the injured Daoist’s location on their path to save him..
