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

Chapter 84 The bond of close friendship is already unbreakable.

The golden light swirled in the sky, and the tense atmosphere in the scene receded like a receding tide. The wild boy who had angrily thrown a punch during the "Thousand Machine Threads Ambush" mission now stood awkwardly beside Xing Lian.

[Without much embellishment, the scene simply captures the two figures from behind. The setting sun casts long shadows, the sea shimmers, and the argument that once erupted over "running away" melts away in genuine understanding and empathy. Hai Yacha scratches his unruly hair and hands Xing Lian a can of a special drink that looks rather unpalatable. Though they don't say much, the bond of "close friendship" is unbreakable.]

The world of Gintama.

On the sofa at the Yorozuya, Sakata Gintoki was picking his nose, staring at the screen with deadpan eyes, and listlessly complaining, "Hey, is it this kind of plot again? Is this the legendary 'Jump-style' friendship law? It must be, right? First, they can't stand each other, they fight, and then they're passing each other drinks by the riverbank at sunset, saying lines like 'You're still being a jerk,' which give me goosebumps. Hey! Can't the scriptwriter come up with something original?! I'm about to throw up my strawberry milk! This is full of the stench of sweat and the sour smell of puberty, don't the police care?"

Shinpachi Shimura, standing nearby, was furiously criticizing: "Gintoki! This is youth! And they gave us a drink, not strawberry milk! And don't just casually label someone's感动 (feeling of being moved) as sour and stinky!"

The world of "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation".

Wei Wuxian, leaning comfortably against Lan Wangji and twirling his Chenqing flute, couldn't help but laugh at the scene: "Haha, Lan Zhan, you see, in this world, you really have to fight to make friends. Remember that fight we had at Cloud Recesses? It was the same thing, wasn't it? They say you don't know someone until you fight them. This little sea demon brother is quite to my liking. He's straightforward and doesn't mince words. He's much better than those guys who talk a lot about benevolence and morality."

Lan Wangji lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Wei Wuxian, and said softly, "As long as it doesn't go against your conscience, anything is fine."

[The scene shifts to Hai Shuang, who is observing this scene. This seemingly obedient but actually quite shrewd junior sister is scrutinizing Hai Yacha with an extremely rational gaze.]

[A series of sharp, insightful inner monologues, unique to the young girl, appear: In Hai Shuang's eyes, aside from his brute strength born for fighting, Hai Yacha is practically a typical "social outcast." If this world of supernatural powers collapses, and magic and cultivation cease to exist, this guy will most likely be spending his days in prison, right?]

[However, the scene shifts, and the Sea Demon himself is squatting by the roadside, playfully teasing a seabird, a silly grin on his face. Clearly, his single-minded brain has never considered such profound "career planning" issues.]

The world of "Bungou Stray Dogs".

Inside the detective agency, Dazai Osamu, who was attempting to hang himself from a beam with a rope, stopped upon seeing this, a playful smile in his eyes: "Prison food, huh? That's a very accurate and hurtful assessment. However, in this world, the line between pure violence and pure naivety is often very thin. That kind of thoughtless frankness is, in a sense, more troublesome than my special ability. If it were me, I'd probably entice him to join the Port Mafia as a laborer; after all, it's a paradise for idiots."

Kunikida Doppo pushed up his glasses and roared, "Dazai! Don't hang yourself here! And don't talk about the mafia like it's a shelter!"

-

[The light and shadow shift, and the scene shifts to Yingzhou Island, one of the three Penglai Islands. The Sea Yaksha is not merely a warrior; he also possesses an extremely sophisticated other identity—an alchemist.]

[But something seemed off about the alchemy scene in Yingzhou. His master, Haimian, the lord of Yingzhou Island, was busy working in front of a huge alchemy furnace with his sleeves rolled up. With a loud bang, Haimian pulled a jet-black, shiny pill, as big as an adult's head, out of the furnace.]

This is—the "Heart-Scratching and Liver-Relieving Pill." Sea Yaksha stood to the side, his pupils dilating in shock. The sheer volume of light pierced the screen; clearly, this visually striking method of alchemy had inflicted a massive blow to his worldview.

The world of One Piece.

Tony Tony Chopper, who was grinding herbs, was terrified when he saw the enormous black pill. He immediately transformed into his deer form, his fur practically bristling, and cried out with tears and snot streaming down his face, "Quack! Absolutely quack! Is that a pill? That's a cannonball! Who could swallow that?! This isn't healing, it's murder, you bastard! People will die if they eat this, they'll definitely die!"

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he drooled: "Wow! That's a huge meatball! It looks delicious, Chopper!"

The world of "A Thought Through Eternity".

At Xiangyun Mountain of the Lingxi Sect, Bai Xiaochun slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, his eyes shining with the light of a kindred spirit. He was so excited that he danced with joy: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Who says pills have to be small and exquisite? This is what pills should look like! The Great Dao is simple, and the Great Pill is sincere! Such a large pill must contain medicinal power that will amaze heaven and earth! This fellow Daoist, Haimian, has the style of me, Bai Xiaochun, back in the day! It seems I should also try to refine this kind of 'Giant Arousal Pill'... no, it should be called 'Giant Longevity Pill'!"

-

Although deeply shocked, the Sea Yaksha truly inherited the mantle of the Yingzhou Immortal Medicine Technique.

[The sky revealed his masterpiece: a "Swift Umbrella" shimmering with an eerie light. When the umbrella opened, the user's attack speed increased several times over in an instant. In numerous encounters, this umbrella became the key to turning the tide of battle for the Xinglian siblings; amidst a flurry of afterimages, only speed could break through.]

The world of Assassination Classroom.

In Class 3-E of Kunugigaoka Middle School, Koro-sensei's round, yellow face was covered in green stripes, clearly displaying his superiority over speed. His tentacles continued to rub his gleaming head: "Twist, whoosh, whoosh! A speed-boosting umbrella? Increased attack speed? While it's creative as a gadget, it's all just slow motion compared to my Mach 20 speed. But for the slow-moving humans of that world, thinking of using a gadget to break human limits is barely passing. Should I help them refine the aerodynamics of that umbrella?"

The world of Bleach.

Kisuke Urahara pulled his hat down, obscuring half his face, and fanned himself with his worn-out little fan. His tone was languid yet shrewd: "Oh my, a spiritual tool that instantly increases attack speed several times over? Something that can forcibly break through the limitations of bodily functions sounds like it has quite a few side effects. I wonder if it will put a burden on spiritual pressure? If we could get one back and study its spiritual particle circuits, perhaps we could make some interesting improvements to 'Flash God's' equipment. What do you say, Yoruichi-san?"

-

What truly astonished everyone was the "decapitation and regeneration" technique that the Sea Yaksha used in a desperate situation.

The scene becomes oppressive and bloody. At a critical moment of life and death, the Great Elixir of Immortality is sprinkled down. Combined with the supernatural creation called the "Minor Needle of Divine Stitching," the Sea Yaksha's fingers fly, stitching life back together as if embroidering. Despite his near-fatal injuries, he miraculously creates a miracle for Xing Lian, helping him complete the feat of borrowing the spirit of the Tree of Life and eternally reviving his life.

The world of Naruto.

Tsunade took a big gulp of sake, her face flushed with drunkenness, but her eyes, which had witnessed countless deaths, were unusually clear: "Hey, is that needlework? That's sewing up a human body! Although it looks so rough it's almost unbearable to look at, lacking the finesse of any chakra scalpel, but... that immense life force forcibly binds the meridians, is this what they call 'great skill appearing clumsy'? This domineering medical technique that can revive anyone who isn't dead, it does have some of the flair my grandfather had back in the day."

The world of "Under One Person".

Master Wang Ye, yawning on Mount Wudang, narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Wow, that's hardcore. Reattaching a severed head—this isn't just medical skill, it's fighting against the King of Hell for karma. That needle is interesting; it's probably not just a simple magical artifact. The energy coiled around it seems to be some kind of 'connection' rule. This guy looks like a rough man, but his work is more delicate than a seamstress's. Each stitch he sews back isn't just a head, it's a life."

-

As the scene unfolds, Xing Lian's series of "god-like maneuvers" completely captivate this wild young man.

[As Xing Lian, in order to escape the terrifying judgment of the "Green Valve," fabricated cause and effect and deceived the Heavenly Dao with incredible wisdom, Hai Yacha's eyes transformed from initial skepticism to unreserved admiration. If they were friends before, he had now decided that if Xing Lian could truly save Penglai, he would definitely call him "Boss"!]

But the price was devastating; Xinglian's life force was rapidly draining away, leaving him like a candle flickering in the wind.

[The Sea Yaksha, its eyes bloodshot, joined Sea Frost and Sea Thoughts as the last guardians. They took turns unleashing the "Second-Snatching Talisman," a tug-of-war with death itself. The Sea Yaksha gritted its teeth, desperately squeezing out its spiritual power, hoping to slow down the inevitable passage of time by even a second, to find a glimmer of hope for Xing Lian.]

The world of Fairy Tail.

Natsu Dragneel, engulfed in flames, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, tears glistening in his eyes. "It's on fire! This is it! This is what a guild should be... no, this is what true comrades should be! Forget about cause and effect, forget about the will of heaven! If they're friends, we should protect them with all our might! This kind of resolve to risk our lives for even a second is just too awesome! If that guy named Xinglian dies, it would be such a disservice to them!"

The world of "Fox Spirit Matchmaker".

Tu Shan Su Su blinked her big eyes, clutching the five-colored staff tightly in her hand, her voice soft yet firm: "Taoist brother, look, they're so touching! Although that older brother looks fierce, he's really good to his friends. He's willing to risk his life to extend their bond... no, I mean extend their lives. This kind of affection is as strong as the red thread of Tu Shan. Su Su wants to become such a powerful fox demon to protect Taoist brother!"

Bai Yuechu, stuffing candied hawthorns into his mouth, mumbled, "You little idiot, finish the quest first. But those 'Second-Snatching Tokens' look pretty valuable; I wonder if we can trade them for our Dream Hammers..."

-

[Radiant light shines, the two souls return! Amidst the prayers and protection of countless people, Xinglian awakens from the abyss of death. His first act upon waking is, with his signature astonishing move, to issue a new command to Haiyacha—or perhaps some kind of "order" characteristically Xinglian.]

The battle continued, but the Sea Demon was too weak to fight on the front lines any longer. The scene freezes on the window of the Issun family's house, where the Sea Demon gazes at the earth-shattering battle outside and angrily slams his fist against the wall. He hates that he has grown too slowly, hates that he can only be a bystander on the battlefield of those great supernatural beings.

The world of One-Punch Man.

Saitama, carrying a bag of discounted cabbages from the supermarket, stared blankly at the melodramatic scene on the screen: "I don't quite understand that feeling of helplessness... but why do they have to make a fight so complicated? Need stitches, talismans, and fabricated cause and effect. Couldn't a single, serious punch solve the problem? If one punch isn't enough, then try being a little more serious? If that sea monster wants to get stronger, why not try running 10 kilometers and doing 100 push-ups every day?"

Genos frantically took notes: "Teacher's teachings! The ultimate secret to becoming stronger! The reason the Sea Demon is weak is because it's still relying on its hair!"

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

Subaru Natsuki slumped to the ground, staring at Umiyasha's eyes, filled with resentment, as if seeing his own reflection in a mirror. He lowered his head, his hands trembling, his voice low and hoarse: "I understand... that feeling of despair where you can do nothing but watch. The person most important to you is fighting there, bleeding there, while you, because of your weakness, can only hide in the back. That resentment, that feeling of powerlessness that wants to tear yourself apart... But, Umiyasha, at least you protected him. If you protected him for even a second, the future holds infinite possibilities. No one knows that better than me."
