The Unwanted Visitor hosted the skill Plaguing Misfortune, along with three other skills that were no less esoteric than the first one.

These three skills were Death’s Ignorance, Bountiful Famine, and, lastly, the War Reaper.

Originally named the Conflict Harvester, Niu Chang made some adjustments to the name to suit his taste.

Whether it was the original name or the made-up one, both carried the same meaning, but the second name carried more weight.

Conflict could be as minor as two people arguing about their favorite foods, and at its largest scale, it could escalate into war.

Regarding how this skill worked, Niu Chang was initially confused, but he deduced that he needed to initiate a new conflict or join an ongoing one.

This motivated him to assume the role of Tian Zhi and spectacularly destroy the Shen clan's secondary city.

However, things took an unexpected turn when a big shot wrongly identified him as a dao seed to be kidnapped.

Events unfolded, leading him to face seven advanced-stage saints.

He remained perplexed about how someone could avoid triggering the system, which was naturally flawless.

It was an intriguing method of cheating karma itself.

His moment of small entertainment bore fruit as his War Reaper skill was triggered, bringing him wonderful benefits.

While he digested these benefits alongside his second brain, time continued to move.

There were three distinct lights suddenly illuminated simultaneously.

The seven saints, cornered and pressured towards their demise, found their bodies affected by something, causing crimson bright lines to appear on their skin.

This eerie phenomenon gave a sense that it should be avoided, as long as one possessed enough sentience. In the span of a breath, the crimson lines covered the entire bodies of the saints before they succumbed to the light source.

The handsome young man who had been observing from the sidelines finally took action, becoming a beacon of light in this boundless sea.

In the special place for karmic connection, the third light appeared.

The point representing Niu Chang flickered, and the lines connecting to it burst into flames, with various karma points ablaze.

These fiery currents of karma directed their intensity towards Niu Chang's karmic point to influence it.

The Massacre intuition was on high alert, displaying restlessness towards an unknown something. Despite Niu Chang's extensive array of skills, it proved futile in finding a solution to the real-time events, leading it to fall into a broken loop while seeking an escape.

As for the second brain, it was less effective in dealing with immediate threats, lagging behind until darkness ultimately enveloped everything.

Naturally, Niu Chang sensed the agitated Massacre intuition wreaking havoc within his mind. The swiftness of the events rendered him unable to convey the sequence of occurrences accurately through expression.

With his composed and relaxed demeanor, Niu Chang found himself within the void.

This void lacked any existence, including the concept of space; direction itself was absent.

"What just happened?" Niu Chang asked in confusion, sensing that his thoughts were being hindered when trying to grasp the situation.

On the battlefield, the seven saints were sacrificed to power the grand ritual aimed at eliminating the resilient Niu Chang.

Likewise, those on the continent who held karmic bonds faced a similar fate.

Regarding the handsome young man, he was the one who managed to sever the head of the calamitous hydra.

Returning to the Flower Fruit Island, within the pavilion, the silhouette displayed no reactions, as his plan unfolded seamlessly.

"Everything proceeded smoothly," the handsome young man remarked calmly. "Now that it's concluded, could you provide me with a comprehensive information of everything?"

While the silhouette had provided him with a specific set of instructions on how to eliminate Niu Chang, he remained oblivious of the plan's finer details.

The silhouette shook his head. "Why do you wish to know about something that exists no longer?" His voice carried an ethereal quality, as if time itself was erasing the words he spoke, leaving no trace once he finished.

The handsome young man sensed a disturbance affecting his mind. Frowning, he regarded the fading silhouette, his confusion mixed with a touch of wariness. "What no longer exists?" he questioned with peak cultivation on this continent, managing to grasp the last remnants of the conversation.

The silhouette gradually faded away, leaving the young man's question unanswered.

Amidst the boundless sea on the battlefield, the silhouette reappeared, yet the handsome young man had vanished.

His keen eyes scanned everything until they locked onto a discovery. Undisturbed by external factors, he glided leisurely, and within a single breath, he reached his destination.

This location hosted the true consciousness of Niu Chang, where his physical body was anchored—a place that had once witnessed Niu Chang's playful interactions with the flower demon.

With a gentle gesture, the silhouette's hand moved as space distorted, and time spiraled into chaos. The specific spot unveiled vague images of the past, present, and future.

Upon releasing his clenched fist, the chaotic scenes dissolved, as if nothing had transpired. Slowly uncurling his fingers, he beheld nothing through naked eyes, yet a trace of existence lingered for him—an elusive concept.

Niu Chang often pondered, "What is life?" However, he found no definitive answer.

Was it solely the biological functionality of the physical body?

And what of the soul entities?

Could life be solely dependent on the soul?

Then what of the remnants of consciousness?

Those memories reside within people's minds, serving as proof of something's existence.

But what is the correct answer?

With his innate disposition, he opted not to be swayed by bias, instead taking everything at face value. "If life means having self-consciousness, doesn't that imply self-awareness?"

"As long as an entity can perceive itself from within, it can be deemed a living being."

Unconfined by matters of the physical body and soul, as long as consciousness endures, death remains nothing more than a phase.

"Death's Ignorance," the silhouette voiced with a hint of tumult in his tone, the distinction between anger and disappointment blurred.

"What an unusual skill—to reject all notions of life's meaning and self-proclaim the purpose of existence, thereby thwarting any attempt to end the user's life. Who could conceive such nonsense? As long as 'Death' remains oblivious to my existence, I shall be immortal!"

The Unwanted Visitor technique brimmed with a myriad of unhinged, unorthodox, esoteric, and bizarre skills.

Each skill possessed a unique essence due to the philosophical underpinnings that challenged established norms. Thus, the creator of this technique was either a transcendent being or a deranged soul with no hope for redemption.

The War Reaper, which could only activate autonomously, and Death's Ignorance, which defied any attempt on its user's life, as long as a core cause persisted.

Plaguing Misfortune, which manipulated variables, and Bountiful Famine, a harbinger of destruction.

Clutching the barely tangible remnants of Niu Chang, whose state existed beyond ordinary comprehension, the Silhouette employed various methods to prevent this state of non-existence from reasserting itself in reality.

However, when he attempted to deploy the first seal, the sky ignited with red and black lines crisscrossing the fabric of reality.

While the rampaging endless sea became still, avoid any motion. The eerie silence of the sea and the roaring anger of the skies herald the incoming disaster.

"So, I already reached the limit of what I can do without affecting the karma," the silhouette sighed helplessly, abandoning the notion of directly sealing the state of non-existence.

Instead, he chose to rupture the spatial barrier within this world, venturing to the deepest reaches of the space layer. There, he established an indomitable seal to confine this state of non-existence, preventing any residual tricks from being triggered.

"Though he hasn't met complete demise, this should grant me sufficient time until the union of heaven and earth is completed."

Methodically, he restored the fractured layers of space, each reinforced by diverse seals.
