Sky Curtain: An Initial Overview of the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Mortal World

The camera shifted from the two senior disciples to focus on Ying Xingguo, the youngest and most controversial disciple of the Sanzhen Dharma School. His story, unlike that of his senior disciples, seemed less dramatic and more filled with the joys, sorrows, and struggles of ordinary people.

In 525 AD, Ying Xingguo, at the age of twenty-eight, was blessed with a daughter. She lacked the aptitude to seek the Dharma, but was very healthy and surprisingly energetic when it came to bedwetting.

The world of One Piece.

On the deck of the Going Merry, Monkey D. Luffy was hanging from the ship's side. Upon seeing this, he grinned and revealed a big smile.

"Hahaha! She had a baby! That's amazing!" Luffy waved his arms excitedly. "What does 'no qualifications' mean? As long as she can eat her fill, that's all that matters! Health is the most important thing! Look, she has the energy even when she wets the bed, which means she eats well every day! She's a healthy and energetic baby! That's great, we should have a celebration party! Sanji! Let's have a big meal today! Let's have a party for that little baby named Ying Xingguo!"

Roronoa Zoro, who was leaning against the mast wiping his Wado Ichimonji, lazily opened one eye upon hearing this.

"Hmph, talent or not, it's completely unimportant," he said in a deep voice. "As long as there's something you want to protect, and you're willing to risk your life to cultivate for it, even an ordinary person can possess the will to cut through steel. This guy named Ying Xingsheng—no, Ying Xingguo—now has a daughter, so his sword should become even stronger because of that. But... what's with this 'bedwetting has motivation' nonsense? Sounds like a troublesome woman."

The world of "A Thought Through Eternity".

In Bai Xiaochun's cave at Lingxi Sect, he was sighing over his alchemy furnace when he saw the content on the sky screen, and his spirits immediately lifted.

"Oh, having a daughter is wonderful! Daughters are so sweet and comforting!" Bai Xiaochun exclaimed enviously, but then her expression turned worried. "But she doesn't have the aptitude for seeking the Dao. What am I going to do? The path to immortality is fraught with difficulties. Without cultivation to protect her, won't she be bullied to death? What if she encounters a bad person? No, no, I have to think of a way to refine a batch of longevity pills and acquire some protective magic treasures... Hmm, this child's bedwetting is energetic, which means she has extraordinary potential and abundant kidney energy. Perhaps she has some kind of special constitution that I haven't discovered yet! Yes, that must be it! How could my judgment, Bai Xiaochun's judgment, be wrong!"

[Jiang Tong reported this matter along with other important worldly affairs, but Jiang Mingzi was most concerned about Ying Xingguo's daughter after hearing it, which shows the important position his disciples held in his heart.]

The world of Assassination Classroom.

In the classroom of Class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High School, Koro-sensei was grading homework at Mach 20, leaving a series of afterimages in the air with his tentacles.

"Hehehehehe~" He let out his signature laugh. "See that, students! This is the essence of being a teacher! No matter how many earth-shattering events occur in the outside world, in the heart of a true teacher, the personal life and growth of their students always come first! This teacher, Jiang Mingzi, may seem strict at times, but in his heart, his students clearly weigh much more than so-called 'worldly affairs.' I must also record this as a lesson in education! Hmm, this teacher-student interaction deserves a big red circle!"

The world of Swallowing the Stars.

Earth, headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts School.

Luo Feng stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city below with a deep gaze.

"The weight of family..." he murmured to himself. "Indeed, no matter how strong one becomes, no matter how powerful the enemy, family is always the softest and strongest part of one's heart. This Jiang Mingzi, as the pinnacle of an era, still cares so much about his disciple's family affairs; this kind of heart is truly precious. He hasn't become cold and ruthless just because he's at a high position. This shows that he is still a 'human being,' not a god corrupted by power. Such a strong person is worthy of following and respect. Ying Xingguo is fortunate to have such a master."

Upon learning that Ying Xingguo had named himself Yin Zongcai without his master's permission, Jiang Mingzi jokingly claimed she wanted to dig out his gallbladder to see if it would grow bigger. This frightened Ying Xingguo, who quickly smoothed things over and asked Jiang Mingzi to help him come up with a nickname for his daughter.

The world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

On the training ground of the Jujutsu Academy, Gojo Satoru was instructing Itadori Yuujin. When he saw this scene on the sky, he took off his blindfold, revealing his six azure eyes, and his face was full of relaxed smiles.

"Oh ho? Dig out your gall? What an old-fashioned way to threaten someone," Gojo Satoru said flippantly. "You're scared to death by this? This Ying Xingguo guy is too weak. If it were me, I would definitely laugh and say, 'Okay, teacher, do you want me to dig it out for you to see? And also see what color your gall is?' Well, this Jiang Mingzi is quite interesting. She says the most ruthless things, but she's actually concerned about her disciple. Typical tsundere. I quite like this contrast. Yujin, you can't be scared by words like this in the future. A strong person should have the composure of a strong person."

Yuji Itadori scratched his head and replied with an honest expression, "But, Gojo-sensei, isn't it illegal to randomly steal someone's gallbladder?"

The world of Full-Time Magister.

At Mingzhu Academy, Mo Fan looked at the sky and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, this guy's such a coward! It's just a name, why is he so scared?" Mo Fan said casually. "But this master is really something, clearly happy inside, but his mouth is so sharp. Isn't he just a carbon copy of my dad? He's always scolding me for being useless, but when I achieve something, he's more excited than anyone else. This Ying Xingguo, he looks like an honest guy, completely under his master's control. Letting him choose a nickname? Isn't that just handing over his weakness? He's doomed, his daughter's nickname is going to be incredibly catchy from now on!"

Jiang Mingzi, however, cautioned Xingguo that he still had a long life ahead of him, and that some people could extend their lives with supernatural powers. He advised that if one day Xingguo had to personally bid farewell to his wife and daughters, he should prepare in advance and spend more time with them, so that after his death he would have more to look back on.

The world of Attack on Titan.

Inside the Survey Corps' castle, Captain Levi Ackerman sat at a table, meticulously polishing his 3D Maneuver Gear. In the dim light, his profile appeared unusually stern.

"Hmph, easy for you to say." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling coldness. "Prepare? How can you prepare for something like this? Watching your comrades die one by one before your eyes, that feeling of helplessness... can't be endured through so-called 'mental preparation.' Having a longer life just means enduring more separations and pain. Instead of spouting useless nonsense here, teach him how to use his strength to protect. Cherish the present? For us, every present moment could be a final farewell. This Jiang Mingzi is just standing in a safe place, spouting sarcastic remarks."

The world of "Battle Through the Heavens".

Wutan City, the back mountain of the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on a boulder, listening to the words in the sky, his gaze becoming complex and distant. He thought of his mother, and of the old man in the ring.

"The tragedy of the immortals..." he murmured to himself. "Power can indeed bring longevity, but it also brings endless loneliness. Watching those around you age and eventually turn into dust, while you remain forever young... this feeling is more tormenting than any cultivation pain. This Senior Jiang Mingzi is using his own experience to warn future generations. He's right, precisely because life is long, we should cherish those fleeting moments of mortal warmth. Otherwise, when ten thousand years have passed and we look back, all that remains in our hearts besides power is emptiness and regret. This teaching is more precious than any cultivation technique or fighting skill."

[Ying Xingguo was so moved that he burst into tears, but the next second, Jiang Mingzi's nickname for him, "Dad," pulled him back to reality.]

The world of "Léon: The Professional".

In Lyon's apartment, he was meticulously watering his potted plants, while Matilda, seeing this, burst out laughing.

"Ha! That Jiang Mingzi is a real bastard! But an interesting one." Matilda sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. "He was so touching before, I thought he was some kind of saint. But then he turned around and gave everyone the nickname 'Dumb Dad'! How awful! And that Ying Xingguo is really pitiful, one second he was moved to tears, the next he was so angry he couldn't speak. It's like you think you've found someone to rely on in life, but that person just wants to see you make a fool of yourself. But maybe... that's just how they, master and disciple, get along, it's better than being so lifeless all the time."

In the same year, as the Thousand Machines Hall continued to grow, Ying Xingguo studied the first master of the Thousand Machines Hall through the "Chronicles of Divine Powers Under Heaven." He was deeply impressed by the extraordinary talent described in the book—a master who achieved great supernatural powers in forty years—and repeatedly admired the image of the woman who "dislikes the world." Although she wore a mask, her figure alone aroused Ying Xingguo's lustful desires. Upon learning that the woman he had been cultivating his character was Jiang Mingzi's daughter, his supernatural will shattered, and he sank into a deep gloom from which he could not extricate himself. He was frequently teased by his second senior brother, Ji Ku, afterward.

The world of "Fox Spirit Matchmaker".

In Tushan, Bai Yuechu was lying on the grass with a lollipop in his mouth. When he saw this, he laughed so hard he rolled on the ground.

"Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! Taoist brother, my stomach hurts!" He shouted, pointing at the sky. "This is the greatest tragedy of the year! No, it's a comedy! The goddess he fantasizes about every day turns out to be his master in drag?! The impact is no less than discovering my five-colored stick is actually made of snot! The fact that his supernatural will didn't collapse on the spot and turn him into an idiot is a testament to his unwavering Taoist heart! Cultivating moral character? I think it's just polluting his worldview! That second senior brother named Ji Ku is really mean; he'll probably use this as a joke for the rest of his life! It's too tragic; even I, this Taoist, can't help but want to offer him a piece of candy!"

In 530 AD, Ying Xingguo's daughter, Yin Fengcai, had grown much taller and often made Xingguo call her "Daddy Yin." Ying Xingguo, however, felt it was inappropriate to call his daughter "Daddy." At that time, Jiang Mingzi gave Yin Fengcai a large gift—a strangely shaped mechanical dog—which she greatly admired. Xingguo, however, felt the gift was too odd for a five-year-old and, for the first time, mustered the courage to ask his master for a smaller one. But Jiang Mingzi, sensing the presence of a witness from ancient times to the present, instantly unleashed the Three True Names and the Three True Myriad Laws Sword, terrifying Ying Xingguo into a cold sweat. Xingguo's act of initiative resulted in permanent social withdrawal.

The world of "Under One Person".

At Nadutong Company, Xu Si was sitting with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette. When he saw this, he forgot to flick the ash off his cigarette.

"Holy crap... this master is a total jerk!" He couldn't help but curse. "Is this some kind of PUA? Absolutely! The disciple finally mustered up the courage to offer a suggestion, all for his daughter's sake, and this guy just went straight for the ultimate intimidation without a word? Just because he was disturbed? How big is the psychological trauma? One act of initiative resulting in permanent social withdrawal, that's so damn accurate. This Ying Xingguo is a typical example of an honest person being bullied by a tyrannical master. But speaking of which, this mechanical dog... sounds pretty cool. I'll ask Bao Bao later if she wants to get one to play with too."

[After the thirty-eighth war of cause and effect broke out, although Ying Xingguo was unable to fight on the moon, he still led all the disciples of Sanzhen to use the All-Out Treasure Borrowing Formation to empower Jiang Tong to fight against the Fusion Desolate Body. He was arguably the most outstanding Central Divine Power at that time.]

The world of "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-".

Royal capital, Roswaal's residence.

Natsuki Subaru looked at the summary in the sky, let out a long sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"That's fantastic... This guy, even though he usually seems so pathetic and miserable, he still stepped up at the most crucial moment." His voice trembled slightly with excitement. "So what if he couldn't go to the front lines? From the rear, he became the most crucial fulcrum in his own way! 'The most outstanding Central Divine,' that's the best affirmation for him! He's not a comedian, nor is he a pushover. He used his 'reputation' and credibility to leverage the power of the entire sect, becoming the key figure in deciding the battle! That's a true hero! Brother, you did a great job! Really!"
