Chapter 1660 – Unprovoked Cause, Established Result

　　The moment this panel popped up, Lin Qiye’s voice came to an abrupt halt.

　　An illusory raffle carousel surfaced in the center of him and the little boy, and unlike the carousel from the previous times, this time, there were only two areas on the panel.

　　One area was as black as ink, occupying about 95% of the carousel’s area, and on top of this area, in addition to the blackness, there were only two mysterious white fonts – “Unknown”.

　　The other area, although smaller, was the only white color on the entire carousel, and something seemed to be written on it.

　　But before Lin Qiye could see it clearly, this carousel suddenly spun rapidly, and the smudge of white flew across the void, flashing directly into Lin Qiye’s mind.

　　There was no shout to start, no active rotation of the carousel, no hint of the name of the Forbidden Ruin, and no introduction of the ability …… was different from any of the previous extraction rewards, Lin Qiye only felt a marvelous sensation suddenly surging out of his mind, as if some sort of shackle had been broken, and the world in front of him suddenly changed.

　　A thread of silk extended out from nothingness, and in between the palms of his left and right hands, each intertwined into a shimmering ball of light.

　　These two clusters of light looked like balls of wool suspended in the air, with densely-packed threads extending in all directions on their surfaces, in which a large number of them were entangled with each other between the two clusters of light, as if there was an invisible gravitational force trying to polymerize Lin Qiye’s hands together.

　　”What is this?” Countless unfamiliar and subtle information appeared in Lin Qiye’s mind as he stared blankly at these two clusters of light in his hands, digesting the information while speaking in confusion, “There are two of my Forbidden Ruins ……?”

　　”Yes and no, the two of them are one.” The young boy gazed at the two entangled masses of light, and slowly spoke.

　　”They have many names, [Past] and [Future], [Indeterminate] and [Established], [This] and [End], [Beginning] and [End] …… but more people, call them [Cause] and [Fruit].”

　　”My Forbidden Ruins, it’s related to cause and effect?” When Lin Qiye heard this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

　　The little boy shook his head, “It’s not related to cause and effect……. From the moment you awakened it, you became part of cause and effect.”

　　”Your left hand, represents the [Unprovoked Cause], and your right hand, represents the [Established Fruit], possessing either of them is enough to turn the rules of this world upside down …… But I have to remind you, this time you awakened too early, before becoming a god, your spirit can’t withstand both the cause and effect of power of this twin pair.”

　　”[Unprovoked Cause], [Established Fruit]……”

　　Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over the light clusters on his left and right hands before he asked suspiciously, “Unable to withstand their power, what will happen?”

　　”Their existence will cause your spirit to be taut at all times, like a wire rope on the verge of its limit ……If you don’t deal with it in time, this wire rope can never be repaired once it collapses.” The little boy paused for a moment, “Simply put, either you go crazy or die, and no one can save you.”

　　Lin Qiye’s face immediately turned ugly.

　　Good news, his Forbidden Ruins were strong, [Unprovoked Cause] and [Established Fruit], both overriding the vast majority of Forbidden Ruins and even Divine Ruins……. Bad news, he couldn’t afford it yet.

　　This was harder for the current Lin Qiye than killing him.

　　”This ability, is it that strong?” Lin Qiye frowned, “Such a strong ability, why is it on me?”

　　One must know that the current Lin Qiye was already a human ceiling and stood at the top of the human race, but even so, his spiritual power couldn’t withstand the power of this forbidden marketplace……. Even Chloe’s 001 didn’t show up in this situation, ah?

　　”Is it important? What is yours is yours, there is no reason.” The little boy said indifferently.

　　”Then how should I solve the problem of not being able to carry it?”

　　”That I don’t care.” The little boy shrugged, “I’m only responsible for helping you find your own Forbidden Ruins, what comes after that, you figure out …… yourself before your spirit is tightened to the point of breaking, there’s a maximum of two months, you’d better hurry.”

　　Lin Qiye: ……

　　Lin Qiye was still about to ask something when the little boy looked at the darkness above him and slowly said, “Your time is coming up, if you don’t go back, you’ll really die.”

　　These words directly stifled Lin Qiye’s questions, he also looked up above, there was nothing but endless darkness.

　　”How do I get out?”

　　”Don’t ask me, ask yourself.” The little boy turned around and took a step out into the darkness, the white color gradually faded, and his voice leisurely reached Lin Qiye’s ears, “With karma in your hand, you’ve already seen the topmost scenery of this world …… The answers to all the difficulties you’ve faced are all there. ”

　　As the words fell, the little boy’s figure completely disappeared without a trace, and only Lin Qiye was left standing alone in the boundless darkness.

　　”It’s all between cause and effect ……,” Lin Qiye muttered these words, and those remnants of information left in his mind were quickly digested as his eyes gradually brightened, “So that’s how it is. ”

　　Lin Qiye’s gaze landed on his right hand, and the shimmering [Fruit of Establishment], began to emit a piercing light, and a silk thread floated out from it, connecting into Lin Qiye’s body ……

　　Outside Chang’an City.

　　Unoccupied ruins.

　　Amidst the dust and sand, a cold, headless corpse lay on top of a pool of blood, the blood that was still scarlet had already solidified to the point of blackening, and a few black crows hovered above the corpse, emitting ear-piercing chirps.

　　One of the black crows quickly swooped down, wanting to peck at a certain part of the corpse. Suddenly, the fingertips of the headless corpse’s right hand moved, and a silk thread extended out from its body, rushing straight towards the black crow!

　　Pouncing…

　　This sudden appearance of the silk thread scared the swooping black crow into flying directly backward towards the sky, but its speed was far from as fast as this silk thread, but in the blink of an eye, its figure was pierced through by the silk thread.

　　In the next moment, a hideous sword mark bizarrely appeared on top of the black crow’s back, and blood-colored flowers burst out as it instantly lost all vitality and fell headfirst to the ground.

　　At the same time, behind Lin Qiye’s corpse on the ground, the sword mark that had originally penetrated his heart disappeared out of thin air!

　　The headless Lin Qiye slowly stood up from the ground, looked around, and then began to move towards another corner of the ruins, eventually pulling out his head underneath a huge boulder and pressing it on top of his broken neck.

　　A second silk thread extended out and quickly bound onto a piece of thick wall, and with a loud roar, a sword mark suddenly chopped this wall into two pieces and collapsed to the ground!

　　”Whew……”

　　Lin Qiye let out a long sigh as he touched his neck with his hand, the fatal wound from the decapitation had already disappeared. He looked down at his right hand, and a ball of light covered in silk threads emerged, emitting a mysterious halo in the night sky.

　　”Is this, the [Established Fruit]?……”
