Chapter 256: That’s Right, the Main Plot Is Escape! (2)

At the beginning, the focus was only within normal parameters.
It’s only in the final closure phase that the Evil God directly controls the existence of that stage, making such entities target and hunt down all outsiders.
In fact, once they enter this closed-loop world, their positions are exposed in the eyes of the Evil God.
After all, this is a world woven by the Evil God. However, during this closed-loop process, the main power of the Evil God is used to guard those crucial lifelines.
They need to secure all vulnerabilities, preventing outsiders from making contact. Thus, when it comes to the final closure phase, the strength of these outsiders remains unchanged, naturally unable to break the closed-loop process.
In simple terms, throughout the entire closed-loop process, the Evil God’s task is to safeguard all lifelines that can influence the loop.
As for the outsiders, their mission is to gather these crucial lifelines.
The final closure phase is a direct confrontation between the two sides.
If the outsiders haven’t gathered enough crucial lifelines, they won’t be able to break the closed loop.
As for why the Evil God complicates things and leaves behind crucial lifelines…
This was explained earlier; the strength of the Evil God is determined by factors such as the size of the created closed-loop world and how long the closed-loop process takes.
The size of the closed-loop world and the duration of the closed-loop process are determined by events within the closed-loop world. The more events, the more complex and prolonged the process, and the broader the scope, the larger the closed-loop world and the longer the time.
However, in each event, a crucial lifeline must be left behind for the event to be valid. It’s not that the Evil God doesn’t want to set all events as deadlocks directly; it’s just not possible. If set as deadlocks, the closed-loop world cannot be established.
Yet, the reason the closed-loop world woven by the Evil God is a closed-loop world is that all crucial lifelines are firmly guarded by him. Relying on the beings within the closed-loop world, it is impossible to break the closed-loop world.
Only by relying on outsiders continuously searching for vulnerabilities from the outside can there be a chance to collect all crucial lifelines and finally shatter the entire closed-loop world.
In the process of deducing closed-loop world events, perhaps the Evil God cannot directly intervene. Only in the final stage, entering the ultimate closed-loop, can the Evil God, as the ultimate closed-looper, know the positions of all outsiders and personally complete the closure.
Usually, during the intermediate closed-loop process, the Evil God cannot interfere but must operate according to the rules set by the events.
Su Yang found a concealed location outside Changhe Town and hid, planning to act after Jiang Family’s Patriarch left.
As for how Su Yang, in hiding, could know when the Jiang Family’s Patriarch would leave?
When faced with uncertainty, one can inquire about causality…
Baimu Forest
Five members of the Mantis Blade, an alien race, have already arrived here with the Iron Fist Sect.
“Feng Ge, where do you think that human went?”
“Don’t worry about it. Our main line is escape. Where he went doesn’t matter. As long as we follow the Iron Fist Sect, get what we need, and do what we have to do, there’s hope of breaking this closed-loop world.”
“Maybe he’s hiding, thinking that’s the smart decision.”
“As the final closed-loop participant, the Evil God can know the positions of all of us. At that time, we will undoubtedly have a decisive battle.”
“If, during the closed-loop process, we don’t secure the benefits and make the necessary preparations, we will inevitably be unable to withstand the Evil
God’s attacks in the end.”
The Mantis Blade leader conducted an analysis, and the other Mantis members nodded in agreement.
Indeed, their main objective is escape. Along the way, they need to gather everything that can enhance their strength to eventually break the closed-loop world. Deviating from the main objective and wandering aimlessly outside would only result in being slaughtered by the Evil God during the closed-loop stage.
In the closed-loop world created by the Evil God, hiding is impossible.
“Let’s quickly secure the resources in the Baimu Forest. In a while, Jiang Family’s Patriarch will probably lead his people here. If we don’t get the resources in the Baimu Forest, it will be over for us again.”
“Understood…
In the blink of an eye, dusk arrived.
Su Yang looked towards the sky. The power of causality had already provided him with enough information.
Jiang Family’s Patriarch had long left the Jiang Family, and based on their speed, they should have already reached the location of the Baimu Forest.
At this moment, only a few weaker members were left in the Jiang Family, the strongest being at the seventh layer of Qi cultivation.
“Now it’s my turn to make a move…”
Su Yang stretched lazily and then strolled into Changhe Town.
Along the way, Su Yang made no effort to conceal himself. He swaggered through the territory of the Jiang Family as a remnant of the Iron Fist Sect and directly arrived at the entrance of the Jiang Family.
The moment Su Yang appeared in front of the Jiang Family disciples, his identity was immediately recognized.
“Iron Fist…”
Before the two disciples at the entrance could finish their words, Su Yang attacked and slaughtered them directly, two streaks of Starfire Swords cutting through the air.
Floating by Su Yang’s side was the Starfire Sword River, allowing him to calmly walk into the Jiang Family.
Soon, Su Yang was discovered by Jiang Family disciples.
And then the Jiang Family disciples died.
The intense commotion attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Jiang Family.
The remaining Qi cultivation level seven powerhouse of the Jiang Family walked out and witnessed Su Yang’s actions.
This infuriated the Jiang Family’s Qi cultivation level seven expert.
Unfortunately, the attack launched by this Qi cultivation level seven expert of the Jiang Family was instantly shattered by Su Yang’s Starfire Sword River..
