He started with zero frame advantage, no telegraphing at all.

Directly expressing his inner thoughts, an earth-shattering revelation that left no room for escape or defense.

Thus, in the midst of Jian Yuan's subtly complex gaze, an awkward silence suddenly descended.

"..."

Ji Jue's smile twitched, "Accidental, all accidental, Craftsman Grandmaster."

The skeleton translated, "Happy now, everyone's embarrassed, right?"

"Heh heh."

Jian Yuan merely smiled faintly.

The skeleton laughed too, but sadly, the meaning behind it seemed somewhat different.

"At times, it's actually a good thing."

He said, "Very well, you've started to learn how to take advantage of a craftsman's curiosity."

"Besides that, there's something else I'm quite curious about."

Ji Jue sighed lightly, finally showing his hand, no longer hiding his intentions, "Craftsman Grandmaster, you've taken the trouble to come to Spring City, mixing with those people, and taken the time out of your busy schedule to play with a small pawn like me for so long, what is it that you actually want to achieve?"

"Why make such a big fuss over it?"

Jian Yuan smirked disdainfully, lifting the skull in his hand, "It's nothing more than just a step along the path of exhausting the Embers and Zhi Fu, what's so strange about that?"

In the midst of the silence, the skull remained silent.

The spiritual circuit within showed no signs of being touched, without any defense or disguise, too contemptuous for lies and deception.

Ji Jue also fell silent, then, after a long while, sighed soundlessly.

"Why go to such lengths?"

"Why not go to such lengths?"

Jian Yuan mocked with a sneer, "Whether you're in the association or in You Sui, regardless of the difference between Embers and Zhi Fu... from the ancient thieves who stole flames to Alchemists, and now to craftsmen, it's just a change of name, is there any difference at all?

No, counting both the Superior and Evil Foolish, every single one that has made achievements is a madman, an idiot, a calamity who elevates their own ambition, foolish desires and beautiful dreams above reality."

"The world is created by such people, Ji Jue."

Jian Yuan declared definitively, "One day, if you're lucky enough to stand in such a position, you may be even crazier than them. If you can't learn, can't bear it, can't tolerate it, then you might as well give up the illusion early and go back to being an ordinary person.

At least for you, that could be considered 'happiness'."

Ji Jue did not answer.

Jian Yuan also turned his head slightly, as if listening to something, and after a long while, let out a mysterious snicker, saying to someone, "Then you bear the consequences yourself."

The communication was cut off.

Jian Yuan then tilted his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the workshop and looking into the distance.

"The time has almost come."

He tossed the skull back into Ji Jue's arms and waved his finger, "Let's just show you, what those called Superior and Evil Foolish have turned the world into."

At that moment, the invisible shielding was erased.

Then, a high-pitched roar that had never been heard before erupted from afar, surging like the tide, filling the space, causing the entire workshop to faintly tremble.

Dust fluttered down, landing on Ji Jue's mottled hair.

He lifted his eyes, gazing at the giant floor-to-ceiling window that slowly rose from the wall, and beyond it, at the sky crisscrossed with ferocious light, where pale and dark rainbows clashed, sparking countless ripples and fragments of light that fell upon the earth.

The light, delicate as snowflakes, fell silently and dissolved on impact, but then a vast wave spread, ravaging everything it touched, 'dissolving' everything in its path.

No sound, no disturbance.

Only a silent collapse and dissipation.

"Do you see? That is the Time Wedge of the Heavenly People. Tao Cheng has received the Heavenly Origin Assimilation for so many years, his humanity has dissipated, and he doesn't have much time left, but before he completely returns to Tian Yuan, let's see how many he can take down with him.

After making up his mind, just by himself, he was able to suppress and beat Lu Changsheng and those old dogs of the Wulou Temple."

The vast purity almost limitless, filled the sky, with countless dark rainbows suppressed at the center, inching inward. The sky above Spring City was thus split, layers of colors overlapping and interlocking in a dizzying and incomprehensible pattern.

All that one could sense was the aftermath of the collision between the Heavenly Origin Decree and the aura of the Great Calamity.

Just the aftermath was enough to make the whole of Spring City quake.

In front of that opened window, Jian Yuan stood to the side, occasionally raising his hand to point things out, "To the north, that surge of white fog should be the Lou Family's Circle Realm·Five Towers Twelve Cities.

Based on Ascension, commanding the blessing of Mirror and entropy, structurally, it's qualified to be among the top of the Lou Family's Chosen Ones; it must be the current matriarch, right?

Ah, she's heading this way, probably targeting both me and you. That diehard mindset of the Ascension Series, vengeful no matter what, pity it's too far away."

Jian Yuan sighed with contempt, not taking it seriously, his eyes falling on the strange clouds to the west, "The Yuan family's Matrix·Frostfall does give off a bit of a wintry, solemn air, pity it's a far cry from the past generations, all style and no substance.

Hmm, to the left side, that's somewhat more interesting, the Tong family's Circle Realm·Memoir of Past Lives, where everything is divided into black and white, modifying and guiding at will, that one truly has gotten the teachings.

I remember it seems to be called, Tong Ting? Using force to fight force, while he himself never shows up, sitting firmly on the judge's bench, just like his father."

Ji Jue followed his pointing, gazing toward the black and white divided area, where nothing dramatic seemed to be happening, calm as a backdrop.

Yet, silently eroding and expanding its own territory, allowing evil entities and Disaster Beasts to rampage and destroy within it. The deeper they went and the more destruction they caused, the more bizarre their own colors and forms became, until at last, they no longer had the strength to struggle, merging into the realm of Mo, becoming part of the abstract scene.
