"What place?" Han Jue asked.

Only a few decades?

Han Jue seriously doubted that the place Liu Bei found was within the underworld.

Liu Bei replied, "I found a mysterious barrier entrance in the underworld. Inside is a space of absolute darkness, impossible to see, impossible to probe with Divine Sense. Upon entering, all senses lose function. If we move Hidden Gate Island inside, it would definitely be a great place!"

He spoke very excitedly; in any case, he felt that place was very suitable.

"Absolute darkness… could it be the Dark Forbidden Zone?" Han Jue frowned in thought.

He had never been to the Dark Forbidden Zone but had seen it mentioned in the mail.

The Dark Forbidden Zone paired with the Dark Forbidden Lord, wouldn't that be a perfect match?

No!

If even he thought it was a perfect match, others would surely think so too.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll find you again later when I need to change locations," Han Jue nodded.

Liu Bei nodded, bowed, then turned and left.

Only after he left did Han Jue let out a sigh.

Relying on this guy to find a hiding place was indeed not feasible.

Too cowardly!

Han Jue could finally understand how others felt about him—utterly maddening.

Not having found a place that satisfied him, Han Jue felt somewhat uneasy.

He could only use the Evolution Function.

He was afraid the result he calculated would make him even more anxious.

Try it!

"I want to know where I will be after this calamity ends," Han Jue thought silently.

As soon as this question arose, he felt he was being quite clever.

If he couldn't find one now, his future self definitely would have!

[Requires deduction of one billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

One billion years?

Why so much?

Han Jue frowned, a sudden bad premonition in his heart.

Continue!

He gritted his teeth and made the decision.

Immediately after, his consciousness felt dizzy.

Opening his eyes again, he found himself under the fusang tree, surrounded by the members of the Hidden Sect.

He scanned the area; everyone was there, even Xing Hongxuan and Su Qi had returned.

But their expressions were very grave.

Han Jue saw himself, hovering above the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, standing upon the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus.

He turned to look in all directions and discovered terrifying giant shadows densely packed at the edges of the island in every direction, surrounding the entire island.

What's going on?

"Dark Forbidden Lord, see where you can hide now! Even if we cannot break through your formation, you also cannot leave!"

A domineering shout rang out, followed by a burst of rampant laughter.

"So he's really here. As expected of the Dark Forbidden Lord, hiding in the Nine Nether Purgatory."

"Turns out the Dark Forbidden Lord isn't that strong."

"Probably this island is a supreme treasure, preventing us from deducing the Dark Forbidden Lord."

"Who exactly is he?"

"Who cares who he is! The Dark Forbidden Lord has caused the deaths of so many living beings; he must pay in blood!"

…

Listening to these angry shouts, Han Jue's expression turned astonished.

After the calamity ended, he was still in the Nine Nether Purgatory, and his identity was exposed!

Han Jue felt uneasy in his heart.

He looked up; the Han Jue in the sky seemed to sense something and looked down at him.

Their eyes met. With a *boom*, Han Jue's consciousness suffered a strange impact.

His consciousness then returned to reality.

[Warning: Do not interact with your past or future self. Otherwise, Karma will be thrown into Chaos, and the Heavenly Dao will not tolerate it.]

This line of text appeared before Han Jue's eyes.

He couldn't help but frown.

Could the future Han Jue see him?

How is that possible!

Even Saints couldn't see him; how could his future self?

Was it a coincidence?

Han Jue's mind was in turmoil.

Most importantly, his future self had his identity exposed.

No!

He had to find the reason!

"I want to know why my future self's identity was exposed."

[Requires deduction of two billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Continue!

Han Jue's gaze was firm.

Next, he did not enter an Evolution Illusion. Instead, lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[Jade Emperor Zhou Yan: cultivation unknown. Chaotic Fiendcelestial. Immeasurable Great Emperor. Former Heavenly Emperor. After losing in the struggle for supremacy during the calamity, he hid within the river of destiny, comprehending the Great Dao of Fate. Seeing through Karma and destiny, he learned of the Dark Forbidden Lord's existence. He has been observing the myriad heavens, trying to find the Dark Forbidden Lord.]

Simultaneously, an avatar was displayed. This person's appearance was extremely imposing, with three eyes and a sharp gaze.

Jade Emperor Zhou Yan?

Who is this guy?

How come Han Jue had never heard of him before?

The four words 'Chaotic Fiendcelestial' were too eye-catching.

Legend has it that during the Chaos Era, before the Heavenly Dao existed, three thousand Chaotic Fiendcelestials were born within Chaos. Pangu Great God, who created the Heavenly Dao, was one of the Chaotic Fiendcelestials. He slew the other Chaotic Fiendcelestials, transformed his body into the Heavenly Dao, achieving eternal immortality and everlasting existence through countless tribulations.

After the Heavenly Dao appeared, the surviving Chaotic Fiendcelestials could not enter the Heavenly Dao. How did this Chaotic Fiendcelestial get in?

And he even became a Heavenly Emperor!

Being targeted by such an existence, Han Jue couldn't help but feel a bit unnerved.

Most importantly, this person had been comprehending Karma and destiny all along. Could it be that in the future, he could deduce Han Jue?

The more Han Jue thought about it, the more uneasy he became. No, he had to find a way to kill this guy!

Han Jue did not want to be surrounded by countless powerful beings.

Wait!

Could this guy be a Saint?

Han Jue's frown deepened.

"I want to know if among the people I know, there are any subordinates of Jade Emperor Zhou Yan," Han Jue thought silently.

[Requires deduction of one billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Continue!

Immediately, figures flashed through Han Jue's mind.

Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, Heavenly God General, Haotian, Marshal Shen Peng, King Yama, Master of the Divine Palace…

So many?

Han Jue was almost scared limp.

This involves too many factions!

Heavenly Court, Divine Palace, Netherworld!

Among them, the Heavenly Court had the most—a full twelve friends were subordinates of Jade Emperor Zhou Yan!

The most crucial thing was…

Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, King Yama, Master of the Divine Palace—how were they together?

The Master of the Divine Palace was the great power replaced by Zu Tu. After Zu Tu's death, he had not appeared again, but Han Jue remembered him well, having seen him before the Taiji Hall.

Han Jue suddenly thought of the time when the Netherworld allowed Zu Tu to release the vengeful spirits of the Nine Nether Purgatory. Could there be a reason related to this?

Han Jue had a headache.

The waters of the Heavenly Dao were too deep!

Before this, Han Jue had no idea of Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's existence and never imagined such a vast web enveloping the entire Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

This was a big shot!

A big shot even more terrifying than the Heavenly Emperor, the Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor, and Zu Tu!

Zu Tu followed Nuwa. Perhaps he died not even knowing that the Master of the Divine Palace he supported was actually a pawn of another great power…

Han Jue fell into deep thought.

Faced with such a force, what should he do?

The best method would be to never curse again from now on, quietly avoid the calamity, and then he wouldn't attract Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's attention.

But if he did that, what about the Heavenly Emperor?

And if Xing Hongxuan, Xuan Qingjun, Su Qi, Fang Liang, and others encountered schemes, couldn't he act either?

There must be another way!

For example, upgrade the book of misfortune!

As long as he kept strengthening the book of misfortune until it became so powerful that Jade Emperor Zhou Yan couldn't deduce it at all, it should be fine.

Unfortunately, heavenly dao spirit stones were not something easily obtained.

Han Jue stroked his chin, racking his brains for a way to deal with Jade Emperor Zhou Yan.

He felt unprecedented pressure, even greater than the pressure from facing a Saint, all because Jade Emperor Zhou Yan was too mysterious and controlled such a vast network of connections. Truly terrifying.
