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

Chapter 39: Simultaneous Change of Fate vs. Simultaneous Change of Fate

How long would it take to massively alter reality using the combination of "Practice Makes Perfect" and "Cause and Effect First" approaches?

Unexpectedly, after Huang left, it was Gongsun Ling who spoke first between the two.

"It'll probably be a little while longer, but you won't have a chance to stop it, Ah Ling—"

"What if I insist on stopping it?" Gongsun Ling asked.

"You can't get past me."

As Lü Buyi spoke, he kept an eye on Gongsun Ling's expression.

Her face showed no despair or despair at the defeat.

Calm, the calmest of all.

This is her expression now, completely different from her attitude when the two were together before this battle—

Lu Buyi was not surprised by this. This is why, even if he was severely injured by the punishment of the law of cause and effect and might even need a hundred years to recover, he was determined to make everyone forget this day.

Leaking information is secondary...

After all, Xiao Jiangzi is only in his fifties now, and he will probably have plenty of time in the rest of his life to speculate and prepare for his next move.

Even if they had to guess, he and the future successor of the [Same Month Order] could basically guess most of the information with a high degree of accuracy.

Gongsun Ling was the most important reason why Lü Buyi did this.

In fact, if it weren't for his wife of over a hundred years, Lü Buyi wouldn't have needed to expend so much effort in this battle.

Protecting one person while managing both ends is no easy task.

"Furthermore, Ah Ling, now that things have come to this, if you still insist on stopping me, it will only force me to continue attacking you, which will be pointless."

"What if I want you to lay a hand on me?"

Gongsun Ling's words made Lü Buyi sigh: "Ah Ling, you should understand that if it weren't for the sake of bringing us back to the way things were, I wouldn't have needed to do this at all—"

"I've compromised enough for you, why can't you compromise even a step, or half a step, back too?"

Lu Buyi saw Gongsun Ling clench her right hand and fell into a brief silence.

"The battle is over, everything can be considered finished. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Gongsun Ling hesitated for a moment because of what Lu Buyi had just said, but Lu Buyi did not choose to make things difficult for her on that topic.

He changed to a simpler question, but he didn't expect Gongsun Ling to ask him the same question in return.

"Do you regret it now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Everything that happened today, everything you turned into a bubble in the water—"

Without any hesitation, Lü Buyi said, "I'm sorry, I can apologize to you."

"But that's because I understand your wishes, the path you've chosen, and I know you can't accept everything I've done."

"It's not because I regret it, it's because I think I was wrong."

"I did the right thing... It was right to protect the myriad corpse immortals who have shown me great kindness and the continuation of the supernatural world."

"I still think so now."

Gongsun Ling lowered her head, and Lü Buyi could not see what she was thinking at this moment.

"I will never forgive you—" she said.

I hate you.

Unforgivable—this phrase, coupled with Gongsun Ling's slowly raised right hand and her magic power being mobilized once again.

Without even thinking, Lü Buyi could understand the subtext.

She was saying, "Kill me..."

Of course, Lü Buyi could not kill the person in front of him; otherwise, what would have been the point of him going through all that trouble?

But he did raise his hand, only he repeated what Gongsun Ling had once told him.

"Then let's follow the tradition of our Three Truths School."

Lü Buyi said, "We'll listen to whoever is more capable."

"Come here, Ah Ling—"

.

During his initial years as an undercover agent in the Three Truths Sect, Lü Buyi only considered it an opportunity to observe the sect.

And the task of researching and replicating the [Three True Ones in the Same Month Order].

Therefore, at that time, Lü Buyi habitually kept everyone at a safe distance.

He had no intention of developing any feelings for this sect or the people here.

This applies to his teachers, his fellow disciples, and even the little girl he personally led into the Three Truths Dharma Gate.

He treated her well, patiently, and without reservation.

But he was kind to everyone, patient with everyone, and open with everyone.

No matter who it is, Lü Buyi will never give his heart to anyone.

Only in this way can he ensure that he will not hesitate to fight against Wanye's enemies in the future.

Only by doing this can he be a truly qualified guardian of all trades.

But who can predict matters of the heart?

Even with prior preparation, Lü Buyi could not truly transform himself into someone who refused to accept anything.

Later, Lü Buyi, who had become unable to deal with Gongsun Ling, would often ask himself these questions when no one was around.

Will you regret it?

"When she and Wanye are on opposing sides and I find it difficult to take action—will I regret using my innate supernatural powers to examine her memories and feelings?"

That's right, he was the first person to use Lü Buyi's innate supernatural abilities.

That is Gongsun Ling.

Lu Buyi has always believed that only by thoroughly understanding a person can one know how to defeat that person.

Therefore, Gongsun Ling, who may be his future enemy, is the second-generation successor of the "Three Truths in the Same Month Order".

Naturally, he will be able to probe into your memories and feelings.

The ability to transform into a Dharma Corpse and acquire innate supernatural powers only occurred after Lü Buyi became a Great Supernatural Being.

That was almost exactly the moment when Gongsun Ling triggered and opened the [Three Truths Under the Same Moon Order], and met the Patriarch Canyi.

Once Gongsun Ling becomes a great supernatural being, then if I use my innate supernatural powers on her again, she might be discovered.

Therefore, in order to be prepared for any eventuality, Lü Buyi chose this perfect moment to use the tactic of "what is real may be fake, and what is fake may also be real" on her.

then……

Lu Buyi then saw the young Gongsun Ling standing in front of the Three Truths Sect's mountain gate, looking up at the endless stone steps.

A fair and slender hand was extended in front of her.

"Don't be afraid—"

That was his voice, that was his hand: "From now on, this will be your home."

Lü Buyi stared at his hands, hearing his own voice.

Having shared Gongsun Ling's feelings, he noticed the strangeness in her heart.

After that, he saw Gongsun Ling receive the same month's decree from his gentle hands on that day.

He saw it from her perspective—

Gongsun Ling looked up at himself, his eyes filled with confusion, unease, and something else he himself didn't even realize...

be terribly upset?

He saw her in the library, deliberately sitting by the window near the back mountain, just so she could see his silhouette as he paced alone through the pine forest.

He saw that despite her seemingly lazy demeanor, she still diligently practiced her spirituality late into the night countless times.

He saw her sitting alone on the back hill, her face buried deep in her hands.

It really is...a cruel twist of fate...

Mingming was spying on Gongsun Ling's memories in order to learn how to deal with the Three Truths Method.

However, Lü Buyi himself could not resist the fact that he had also fallen into the trap and was unable to control himself.

In fact, back then, he chose to escape and used the excuse of going down the mountain to leave the Three Truths Sect.

I shouldn't have held her hand at the very end.

But when emotions run deep, they are hard to contain.

This certainly gave Lü Buyi decades of warm and happy times.

But this also created the bitter consequences that he now needs to actively face and resolve...

.

"We shall change our orders at the same time," Gongsun Ling said calmly.

"We'll change our orders at the same time." Lü Buyi repeated these four words as well.

His understanding of this causal supernatural power was no less than that of Gongsun Ling.

Therefore, Lü Buyi ultimately chose to end this final fate by using the exact same time as the previous one.

As soon as he finished speaking...

Two beams of light from the divine power of causality lit up simultaneously, with identical light, incantations, and hand gestures.

The next moment, two beams of light shone brightly simultaneously in the clear sky above the battlefield of Muye.

To change one's fate at the same moment, to change one's fate at the same moment.
