Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

This was inevitable; otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why his time travel would fail. The Holy Lord would have replied to him.

Zhou Lan, on the other hand, must first figure out what exactly happened between the Holy Lord and the original world during the short time he was away.

Logically speaking, as a demon who has almost been upgraded, there should be nothing that can defeat Shendu.

At least in the original world, the Holy Lord should be invincible.

The power of the Nebula Body level makes the Holy Lord invincible, even if all the remaining immortal gods reappear, even if Lü Dongbin is forcibly brought out of hell and confronts the Holy Lord again.

Even the Holy Lord would find it difficult to lose.

This is no longer about restraint; it's a matter of the magnitude of power.

Unless, some force beyond the rules intervenes and influences all of this.

This hindered Zhou Lan's progress.

So, what could this power be?

Even now, Zhou Lan has never considered the word or possibility of the Holy Lord's betrayal.

He couldn't possibly do that, Zhou Lan believed.

To confine oneself to a closed world in order to become a king or a tyrant is the act of a fool.

Perhaps past sage rulers would have had this thought, but Zhou Lan believed that even gods wouldn't.

Belief is a feeling; it doesn't need a reason.

"Then the answer becomes quite easy to guess," Zhou Lan murmured softly, her eyes flashing as she locked onto the answer in her mind.

“The history books of time,” he suddenly said firmly.

It must be the history of time; only its power could accomplish all this, even causing the Holy Lord to lose contact despite possessing the power of the Nebula Body.

"Shen Du, you bastard, did you do this voluntarily?" Zhou Lan frowned.

He vaguely guessed the truth.

Often, the unknown and confusion are like dark clouds floating in the sky, blocking the moonlight.

If we just look a little further, we can easily find the answer behind the dark clouds.

With the answer in mind, Zhou Lan worked backwards to deduce the process and quickly locked onto the truth.

No wonder.

His attempt to travel through time was stopped and he was brought back.

To defeat the current Holy Lord, the power he possesses must be sealed.

Different energy constitutes the largest portion of this.

Only the annals of history can attest to this.

Of course, even it couldn't completely clear the Holy Lord's alien energy, because that was a nebula body, which was far too massive.

However, compared to clearing it out, rejecting it is obviously the easiest approach and the one that history books can most easily touch upon.

To close off the world and reject all external forces.

This also explains why Zhou Lan's time travel attempt failed earlier.

He is also a nebular body.

The same applies to Basha; she has almost become one with the origin of the One Piece world.

They all carry too many traces of the outside world.

Through the writings of history, a certain order to exclude those who are different was issued, which led to the situation they are in today.

Zhou Lan grasped this only answer.

Within the ethereal system space, he opened his eyes, which were filled with countless thoughts, and curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

“It seems our enemy has made a mistake,” he murmured.

Using historical records to distort history and alter reality.

In Zhou Lan's view, even the most gambling opponent made a bad move.

To achieve this, the price to be paid is staggering.

If it were Zhou Lan, and he chose to do that, and failed, he might not even be able to stay in this world.

"Dad? Jackie Chan? Or Jade?" Several figures flashed through Zhou Lan's mind.

“No, none of them. They lack that kind of courage.” He eliminated the figures one by one.

They are a new competitor.

Stand on the side of righteousness.

The Holy Lord is currently out of contact and has likely been sealed away again.

Having figured all this out, Zhou Lan relaxed her tense brows, a look of helplessness on her face.

"You rascal, relying on someone to back you up, you're really not afraid of getting yourself involved in the whole thing."

Chapter 210 The days of fighting alone are over

It's common knowledge that the Black Qi is in a state of disarray.

All I can say is that the Holy Lord is a gambler.

Zhou Lan had already guessed his thoughts, and felt somewhat helpless.

Clearly, faced with a suddenly appearing enemy on the side of righteousness, the Holy Lord chose a completely different path between victory and defeat.

He chose to act.

There are only two possible outcomes.

Either they continue their act to the very end and get overturned, or from now on, their enemies in the original world will never be able to sit at the table again.

"Shen Du, you've really given me a tough problem." Zhou Lan said with a hint of helplessness in the system space.

Having figured all this out, all he needed to do was make his decision.

The rejection from his original world was not a problem; it couldn't stop him.

The new enemy does not understand the power of the Moon Demon now, and even if he were to write words such as "Demons are not allowed to enter" in the annals of history, it would be an impossible task.

Demons are simply a part of the world.

It merely blocked out external forces, but as a demon, it was a native of its original world.

Can't I be restricted from going back to my own home?

All you need to do is temporarily set aside the power of the Nebula Body, just like the Holy Lord did.

However, relinquishing the power of the Nebula Body means that one must rely on strength to confront that new enemy head-on.

Without knowing the extent and number of the enemy's power derived from historical records, this is the most foolish approach.

Zhou Lan cannot recklessly waste the opportunity given to her by the Holy Lord.

He has other options.

With a wave of his hand, the golden portal opened.

Zhou Lan tried to reach out, but a faint sense of rejection still emanated from inside the door, directed at his alien energy.

He snorted coldly and forcefully shoved his body inside.

The world spun around me, and before me lay an endless starry sky and a dark sphere, separated by something like silk threads.

The celestial bodies that should have been shining brightly are now dim and lifeless. This is the original world, the universe outside that azure blue planet.

At this moment, these dim stars represent one thing.

In order to achieve the altered facts, the annals of history sealed off nebula-level power and overdrawn the power of everything except Earth.

As a result, these starry skies can only exist in the concept of the original world at present. The world has lost control over them, which is why Zhou Lan was able to easily enter them.

However, those fibrous shells hindered Zhou Lan's further progress.

"That's really ruthless, using up so much of their power." Zhou Lan couldn't help but sigh.

They were able to go to such lengths to isolate the demons from their newly acquired power.

At this moment, even if we consider these universes as outside the world, it doesn't seem out of place at all.

Having exhausted these powers, the original world was almost reduced to the size of Earth.

The moon, enveloped in a faint purple glow, was also kept out of the light.

Even the homeland of the Moon Demon, a part of the world, was "abandoned".

Zhou Lan sighed, somewhat speechless.

With a thought, the nebula expanded rapidly, standing on the opposite side of this planet.

"Since we're already here, we might as well try using brute force," Zhou Lan said softly, extending her arm forward with her Nebula Body.

An immense force, like a giant hammer, slammed down and struck the sphere enveloped in silk threads.

The powerful attack landed, but the sphere remained completely still.

A powerful repulsive force rebounded, rippling and sweeping across the area like waves, causing unease.

Zhou Lan seemed to have anticipated the feedback and withdrew the Nebula Body.

He took one last look at the situation before him, opened the golden portal without hesitation, and floated inside without looking back.

In the world of One Piece, on the boundless sea.

Basha waited for news from Zhou Lan, and finally a golden light flashed before her eyes. She quickly went to greet it.

“Brother!” Basha said with a hint of urgency.

Zhou Lan waved her hand calmly and said to her, "I have figured out the current situation."

"Someone has tampered with the history books, and the failure of the return just now was precisely because of this. The world has closed itself off, preventing all external forces from entering."

Basha was stunned for a moment. Her mind was clear, and after a moment of contemplation, she immediately understood the gist of it.

“But brother, both you and I are currently relying on power obtained from other worlds. The enemy has altered the annals of history, which will surely strengthen themselves…”

"Unless we are willing to abandon all of this and return to our original state."

“That’s right.” Zhou Lan nodded. Basha’s words hit the nail on the head. What she was thinking was exactly what Zhou Lan had been thinking.

Looking around at the sea, Basha's gaze suddenly hardened, and she spoke in a deep voice:

"I'm willing to temporarily set aside my power and return to check on the situation for you..."

Zhou Lan waved her hand, stopping her from saying anything more.

“There’s no need for that,” he said. “I don’t like taking risks. The enemy has staked everything on the future, and as challengers, we should be serious too.”

"So, what do you mean?" Basha asked, puzzled.

Zhou Lan's expression softened for a moment, and she looked at Basha and slowly said, "The days of fighting alone are over, Basha, my sister."

Zhou Lan's words ignited a glimmer of hope in Basha's eyes. She suddenly remembered that there seemed to be someone she had somewhat forgotten.

Is it because they haven't seen each other since they were released from prison?

"You can wait for me here, my... little sister." Zhou Lan chuckled, opened the door again, and disappeared into the world.

What he said was exactly what he was thinking.

The enemy has staked everything, so as the responder, being serious is essential.

For demons, the appearance of Zhou Lan and his commencement of his salvation plan across the myriad realms also signifies the birth of a new concept.

That is, the eight demons that once divided him away have now distanced themselves from a life of fighting alone.

We are of the same breath and share the same fate, advancing and retreating together.

That is the main theme of the future.

The fire demon god was sealed away again and lost contact. The water demon Basha regained her power, but she has not yet grown strong enough to handle everything.

And Zhou Lan is the core leader of the Moon Demon.
