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

Chapter 49: Next, I will demonstrate the framework by which the world works—

As an ancient monster who has lived for three thousand years, Lü Buyi has many places to live—

Each of his identities has its own unique "home".

Perhaps it was to be absolutely certain, or perhaps it was simply to have more places to go in one's spare time.

But even after six lifetimes, the true reason remains unclear.

Of course, they wouldn't ask any more questions, because even if they did, Lü Buyi might not answer.

That's how Baili Yuan is.

So, as the deputy lord of Wanye, where would Lü Buyi choose to talk to his top henchman?

Undoubtedly, it is not the home of "Lu Chen," the people's teacher.

Rather, it was Lü Buyi's "home"—

If the successors of the Three Truths Dharma also acknowledge this as their home.

And now, in the ancestral land of the Three Truths Dharma, within the Primordial Dharma Palace.

Shi Guagua, who had followed Lü Buyi and Baili Yuan into this place, was extremely bored.

The boss went to talk to the big boss, and before leaving, he only told me to wander around as I pleased, just don't break anything...

"Am I, Shi Guagua, the kind of child who is both immature and heartless?"

"...It seems that's really true!"

To be honest, the scenery in the original Dharma Palace of the Three True Ancestral Lands is very much to Shi Guagua's liking.

Inside the cave, where neither the light of the sun nor the moon can reach, there is a darkness that even the stars in the sky cannot touch.

The buildings are clustered together, creating a dark and eerie atmosphere.

The branches of the ancient tree, as red as the true blood of all things, covered the entire cave, while its main body, as large as a mountain range, stood in the very center of the cave.

Below are the Three True Myriad Laws Sword and other magical artifacts and spirits of the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the World, which were suppressed by the Myriad Laws of Longevity and a host of magical treasures.

Above, everything was obscured by branches, making it impossible to see anything.

But even just looking at the branches of the ancient tree constantly and endlessly converging upwards, one knows that something must exist there—

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

For a fleeting moment, Shi Guagua seemed to catch a glimpse of a pale sky-blue dress.

Is anyone there?

Shi Guagua didn't know, but given her curiosity, she actually wanted to go up and find out what was going on.

In fact, out of boredom, she did it herself when no one stopped her.

Once the Dharma acupoints are opened, one becomes a true seeker of the Dharma.

So even a ten-year-old child like Shi Guagua can walk on flat ground when facing the towering Wanye Changsheng Great Material.

Although she would be tired, judging from her speed, she wasn't without hope of making it to the top.

Shi Guagua climbed higher and higher, and after an unknown amount of time, she had reached the waist of the longevity sap.

The azure hue at the very top became increasingly clear.

Shi Guagua is now certain that it is definitely the same person.

Why is she standing there motionless?

This was the first question that popped into Shi Guagua's mind, but she quickly found the answer herself.

Because she noticed that the figure above seemed devoid of any vitality or life—

Even though these scarlet branches, carrying a life force that even ten-year-old Shi Guagua could sense, were continuously converging on her.

But Shi Guagua still couldn't sense any vitality from her, and even her magical field proved it.

"So, this is a preserved body... like the ones the boss possessed?"

"Are the big boss's superpowers the same type as the boss's?"

"If that's the case, why keep providing this body with a constant source of life?"

"If not, then why is she here?"

Shi Guagua is a child who loves adventure and surprises, so she became more and more curious about the blurry figure at the top.

But after climbing the ancient tree for a while longer, she stopped and landed on the branch closest to her...

Why?

Because she touched an invisible wall, as if it were telling her, "Let's explore the area ahead later."

Just like the open-world game that Shi Guagua is currently playing on his phone.

"Ugh, that's cheating!"

"We could clearly see blurry figures, but they wouldn't let us go up because of our curiosity!"

"I'm going to complain to the boss—"

As Shi Guagua spoke, she took out her phone and dialed a number, but clearly, there was no signal.

"You daring phone, even you're bullying me! Quickly connect to the internet automatically and let the boss reply!"

But the phone remained motionless, because it really was just an ordinary phone.

When there's no signal, is it stressful to just use a mobile phone?

The review was based on playing Genshin Impact.

Shi Guagua actually knew that a cell phone couldn't provide her with a signal under pressure.

But having died before completing her expedition, she returned to boredom, so she could only amuse herself in this way.

Unless something particularly interesting happens to her at this time.

Otherwise, she would probably have just put so much pressure on her phone that it exploded.

Does such a thing exist?

The answer is yes—

As the destined possessor of the power of causality, even though he has not yet awakened it.

But Shi Guagua is also unconsciously drawn to the powerful fluctuations of causality.

And coincidentally, at the end of the branch where she is now standing, there is a pavilion that combines Eastern and Western cultural styles.

It exudes a causal fluctuation so profound that it can be described as unparalleled.

It's as if all of human history is hidden within it.

Therefore, as soon as Shi Guagua looked up after finishing looking at her phone, she unconsciously walked closer to it.

By the time she realized what was happening, she was already standing at the entrance of this tall building.

Reaching out and giving a gentle push, to my surprise, there was no invisible wall or anything like that.

The door opened with a push.

Shi Guagua looked around for a while before consoling herself:

"Neither the big boss nor the boss came out to stop us, nor did they set up any special barriers to prevent us from entering..."

"Then that means... we can go in, right?"

"I was just a little curious about what was inside, so I took one look and came out, just one look."

So, after mentally preparing himself, Shi Guagua, feeling guilty but also curious, entered the pavilion.

So many things, it's like a museum...

This was Shi Guagua's first impression.

If I had to put it into words, it's almost like the story of "The Silent Shop" described in a book she had read.

Each seemingly ordinary item, but each carrying a long history, lies on its corresponding shelf.

On the left are ancient artifacts from the East, and on the right are artifacts from the West.

Beneath each antique item is an inscription in a different handwriting, likely a quote from the original owner.

Shi Guagua didn't recognize most of the things here; after all, she was still young and had limited education.

But some of these things are so famous that even a child like her is familiar with them.

It is four inches in diameter, with five coiled dragons on the top knob, resembling a chi tiger, and one corner of the jade seal is made up with gold.

The inscription in seal script reads: "By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous!"

Shi Guagua swallowed hard, thinking that if she were to sell this thing, it would be worth half a lifetime's worth of pocket money.

Does that mean she won't have to worry about money for snacks anymore?

However, despite thinking this way, she didn't reach out to touch it.

She, Shi Guagua, is a good child; she only glances at it and thinks about it briefly before letting it go.

Stealing is something only bad kids do.

However, the further Shi Guagua reads, the more she learns.

And the fluctuations in causality are naturally becoming increasingly pronounced—

The ethereal phenomenon of causal fluctuations can create a situation that makes people feel physically suffocated.

Even a titled master of causality couldn't do this.

But the thorny crown in front of Shi Guagua and the stack of manuscripts beside it accomplished that.

Their owners left their last words to Lü Buyi here.

The former said, "If the world hates you, remember that they must have hated me first."

The latter did not write anything about the two of them.

Beneath the manuscript of *Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica*:

He simply said:

"Next, I will demonstrate the framework of how the world works."

"Don't touch that pebble, you'll break it, and I, your boss, can't afford to pay for it..."

Just as Shi Guagua, due to the uncontrollable fluctuations in causality, reached out to the manuscript.

Baili Yuan's signature voice came from behind her.
