Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 688 Heading to Liu Town

The huge, terrifying spider demon is entrenched in Liu Town, and its mere existence brings a strong sense of oppression to people.

Not only Lin Yu, but the other players also looked at the giant spider and couldn't think of how to defeat this huge guy for a moment.

"So it literally means 'like a mountain'. I thought it was a dozen or even dozens of meters at most, but now it seems..." Seagull raised his head and gestured in front of his eyes, "This thing feels like a kilometer or two."

Snowy Owl nodded. "Almost—then the question becomes, does anyone possess a strike capability that can cover a two-kilometer radius?"

Obviously, none of the players possessed this level of firepower.

Lin Yu sighed slightly and said, "Isn't this solution too crude? It's just like 'L'Hôpital when in doubt'... There's no need to use such a violent method."

"We have a professional who has studied this creature for decades—Senior Xuan Yunzi. Even if a demon this size lies there motionless, it will probably take us a long time to kill it... Since you've come in and even planned to come in alone, you should have a solution."

Lin Yu asked, Xuan Yunzi's face was solemn.

"Indeed, there is. The Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord's 'Cause and Effect' magical power is extremely terrifying. In fact, even if you truly 'destroy' its body, it will not truly kill it."

"I've said before that as long as the 'thread of cause and effect' remains, it can be resurrected again—and it's already entangled with the past of the millions of people in 'Liu Town'. The threads of cause and effect have long since formed a vast network."

"But precisely because of this, there's a shortcut to killing it," Xuan Yunzi whispered, "and that's to kill the 'source' of the causal thread it currently possesses, namely, its identity as 'Zhu Qiansi'."

"Although some of its causal threads are now scattered about, they haven't yet become a full-fledged 'network'... Based on my speculation, only when its causal threads reach a certain scale and form a closed loop within a certain area, will it truly possess the ability to utilize its causal threads for immortality."

"This is the killer move that the ancestor truly prepared for her - after being imprisoned for a hundred years, the only 'cause and effect' associated with it will be the already extinct 'Liu Zhen'!"

Lin Yu understood what Xuan Yunzi meant.

"I see. What you mean is to use the side effects of its ability to be resurrected multiple times to completely erase its existence, right?"

In order to ensure that he would not be killed by the famous and upright sects, the Thousand-Eyed and Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord lurked in Liu Town more than 300 years ago, and made the lives of 70 to 80% of the people in Liu Town into his own life-saving "trump card" - as the most prosperous town, those people will continue to expand outward, and the network formed by the cause and effect threads will naturally become larger and larger. When it completely covers most of the Prison Mountain Realm, it will naturally be enough to make it truly immortal.

But it might not have expected that the founder of Taiqing Sect was a master who was so decisive that he could be described as "ruthless" even by upright people. He directly sank the entire Liu Town into the ground as a burial companion and sealed it here.

Therefore, after three hundred years passed and Liu Zhen was gradually forgotten, the magical power of "Cause and Effect Thread" that the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord was proud of became a hindrance.

This is why the puppet was eager to use Xie Chong's body to stir up trouble, because it urgently needed a new "net".

Now, the new network has not yet taken shape, and the old network is locked underground and in ruins...

Rather than knocking down a mountain-like monster at the "physical" level, taking action at the "cause and effect" level seems to be the best option?

"Then the question arises," Li Nian, who had also heard Xuan Yunzi's words, pointed out the most crucial issue in this plan. "How can we erase its identity as 'Zhu Qiansi' from the 'cause and effect' level?"

Lin Yu did not answer. Although he felt that he could give his ability as a "trickster" a try, and even Lin Yu had already thought of the outlines of several feasible plans... he did not want to reveal too much information about his "profession".

And it’s the same reason: Xuan Yunzi must have a prepared method.

It's already available, why not use it?

Lin Yu could also vaguely guess what Xuan Yunzi was thinking.

"I think the Taoist priest is planning to use the spider demon's 'Cause and Effect' magical power, right?"

"That's right, young friend, you're quite perceptive," Xuan Yunzi nodded. "After that demon used the 'Karma Thread' to plot against me, and I successfully countered with the 'Qi Transformation Body', I already knew... Although the 'Karma Thread' is the demon's own innate magical power, this great magical power that can manipulate cause and effect is definitely not something the demon can completely control at will."

"So, if it wants to see the light of day again by modifying its past, it must use the 'Liu Zhen' web it has already woven. The Liu Zhen puppet has previously stated that the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Thread Demon Lord has stored everyone's past and consciousness in the 'Thread of Cause and Effect.'"

"According to the records of our ancestors, as long as we wait for it to make this move, we can seize the opportunity to enter the giant web woven by the 'threads of cause and effect' and trace back to its own past. Then, we can completely kill the core of that web, the 'Red Thousand Silk' that represents it!"

When Xuan Yunzi said this, his tone became firm.

"I see. Then I have a new question," Li Nian said, raising his hand. "When will it attack, and how do we get in?"

"We've already given it the most crucial 'key' to its plan," Xuan Yunzi chuckled, looking at the remains of Xie Chong in Lin Yu's hands. "This is its descendant... and although it's a broken body, it's still 'alive'. If it wants to change its past, this thing will definitely give it a lot of strength and make things twice as easy!"

"This is equivalent to providing it with a shortcut to find its own 'past cause and effect'."

"According to its original plan, it was supposed to launch from the renamed 'Liu Town' and then instantly replace 'Liu Town' with 'Liu Town'. This would not only allow it to break through the seal in one fell swoop, but also allow 'Liu Town' to become its second news item."

"But... now that we've ruined this plan and brought the remains here, it has no choice. Using the remains here is its last, best chance."

At this point, Taoist Xuan Yunzi smiled brightly: "Of course, even if it sees through my calculations and would rather give up this opportunity, it will be useless."

"Because it planted the 'thread of cause and effect' in my original body...so now the initiative is not just in its hands."

Taoist Xuan Yunzi looked at the six players.

"Everyone, please prepare yourself..."

"We're going to Liu Town!"
