Chapter 22: A Terrible Guess—Time
Mu Ziyun and the others were in a coma for a long time, but fortunately, with the protection of the Lotus Terrace, none of their organs were injured. Ge Yuan moved them to a cave. Bell was the first to wake up, and when he opened his eyes, he entered a tense state of battle, but after seeing Ge Yuan at a glance, he immediately fell asleep with peace of mind.
Then Du Xiaoyue, Fang Tianmu, Kite and Wangxiang woke up, but Mu Ziyun was still asleep. Ge Yuan motioned for everyone to go out, and when only he and Mu Ziyun were left in the cave, Ge Yuan got up and sat down beside Mu Ziyun, and said in a low voice: "There is no need to put too much pressure on yourself, it is not a good thing to set up too many enemies, especially now, you don't have the strength to take revenge." ”
Mu Ziyun opened his eyes and sat up, his face was a little gloomy, and his eyes were dull. Ge Yuan said again: "I can't come in time every time, it's not to ask you for credit, I just want to remind you that your hatred is far deeper than that of your partners, they only have the hatred of Huzi being killed in their eyes, but you want to subvert the whole world, now it's okay, you are cool once, and you should be able to calm down." ”
Mu Ziyun lowered his head, he actually felt guilty in his heart, and he had an idea that the person who should leave "Xia" the most should actually be himself. Unexpectedly, Ge Yuan then said: "Running away is the most unwise choice, especially as a leader, perhaps because of your escape, it will bring about the collapse of the faith of the entire group, you might as well die directly, death is also the best way to motivate." ”
Mu Ziyun looked at Ge Yuan and said coldly: "I'm not dead, I haven't taken revenge yet." ”
"By the way, I have something to tell you" Ge Yuan took out a picture, spread it out, put it between the two, and said: "You may not know the black elf race at all, and you should never have heard of it." Holy Grail Council', there are billions of living beings in the world, there will always be a few landmark events, which will cause big fluctuations in the entire system of living beings in the yang world, which the human race has done well, the human race actually has an ancient heritage, what is it, I don't have to say, it has nothing to do with your fate, but this inheritance has not appeared in several eras, because the human race has the hope of surviving in the biggest war in any era, and only when there is really no hope, that inheritance will appear, otherwise, human beings will not interfere with the order of the world。 ”
"But the other races are not so conscious, and the 'Holy Grail Meeting' of the Black Elves is one of the symbols that can affect the pattern of living beings in the yang world. Since the birth of the Black Elf in eternity, it has only been opened seven times, and each time the changes it has brought are enough to go down in history, whether good or bad. ”
"What are they going to do?" Mu Ziyun looked at the picture curiously, but the picture was just a fluffy rabbit, no different from ordinary things.
Ge Yuan stretched out his hand and turned the picture around, the rabbit on the picture changed a little, the innocent eyes suddenly became a little more evil, and the face was slightly shaved, Mu Ziyun At first glance, it seemed that he saw a young fox again. Ge Yuan said: "It's not because you attacked the 'Black Elves' territory that they had to open the 'Holy Grail Conference', it can only be said that you guys who can influence the destiny of heaven let the 'Holy Grail Conference' open in advance." That's why I have to find you and save you. ”
"What the hell is it, tell me quickly."
"It was a special ceremony, all the core leaders of the black elves will gather together, what exactly it looks like, except for the black elves, no other living beings can be seen, the great monarchs of all dynasties have studied it, because the last 'Holy Grail Council' was three million years ago, when the 'Age of Rules' came, almost all living beings were wiped out, but the black elves suddenly disappeared from this world, and only reappeared after 500,000 years. I saw something in the secret building of the Huangdu, the black elves who suddenly returned back then were actually the ones who disappeared 500,000 years ago, don't show a face of disbelief, in a sense, the Huangdu and the ancient beast clan are the most complete historical forces in the living beings, and they have never stopped, and they have never stopped recording. Through the seventh 'Holy Grail Council', the black elves traveled to a certain 'world', and perhaps in that world, the rules of time flow are different, for the creatures here, it is 500,000 years, but for that world it is only a few days. ”
"This.... Is it possible? Mu Ziyun smiled bitterly, "I know that there are many disagreements in this world that I can't accept, but how can I do it with such a large time span?" ”
"Yes," Ge Yuan said mysteriously, "it may be that this kind of thing is happening all the time now, but the black elves have mastered that method through the 'Holy Grail Council', and that method, you may have experienced it." ”
Mu Ziyun was stunned for a moment, then frantically glanced at the past in his mind, and after a long time, he spoke: "I have never experienced such a thing as traveling through time. ”
"It's not about traveling through time, it's about choosing time." Ge Yuan picked up a few stones, then drew a line on the ground, and then placed the stones on the line in turn, "Each stone is equivalent to a point in time, such as yesterday, today, and tomorrow. And you are in the stage between today and tomorrow, no matter how much time you have in the world, almost all of them can only move forward in one direction, and you cannot turn back or change the line. It's like.... It is a rule that has been set since ancient times and cannot be changed, because once someone travels to the previous timeline, then the subsequent line will disappear, and if the subsequent line disappears, then no one will travel back to the past. ”
Mu Ziyun was stunned, with a dazed expression, Ge Yuan continued: "Then what is the price or the ending, the timeline will start again from the point in time that was crossed over, but if the timeline that led to this ending is gone, what about those ...... 'things' that can be independent of time?" God? Immortals? Monster? Treasures? Or the 'dream elves' who are rumored to be in the living world and have no time to be imprisoned, what will they do? Their existence must be based on a timeline, and every move is in time, and time is also created. So.... Timeline... It's not going to go away, it's..."
Ge Yuan took the stone and drew another line next to the line, but it was a longer line.
Mu Ziyun couldn't understand it, and he didn't know where to ask, Ge Yuan said again: "When someone travels back to the past, a timeline starts again, and another identical line is born in an instant, and in the long run, this world..."
"You... What exactly are you trying to express, does it have anything to do with us? ”
"There's... Because you... I chose a timeline..."
"What!" Mu Ziyun suddenly jumped up in shock, "You... You're saying that I've inadvertently traveled through time, that is, I'm getting farther and farther away from the real world, and I'll never go back, right? ”
Ge Yuan said: "If a person who has crossed into a new timeline wants to go back, it is impossible for him to go back, because his own timeline has disappeared because of his own crossing, so he can only cross to another line derived from it when he crosses over." ”
The lines on the ground disappeared, only the first two remained, but Ge Yuan continued: "However, his arrival is another change for the new timeline, so the line after crossing the point will disappear again, and a new timeline will be generated again, so the ending..."
Mu Ziyun collapsed on the ground, his face sweating, "I.... When I... Wear... Through... Target... You... Just kidding..."Suddenly, Mu Ziyun shuddered, he suddenly thought of something, and he was startled again, trembling: "This... This one... My partner and I passed through the 'realm' gate in the Four Beasts Domain... Through the world that came through, this... The world, the... Could it be..."
"You're right," Ge Yuan said calmly, "This world, and your world, are two different timelines!" ”
At this moment, Mu Ziyun was completely paralyzed.
After being stupid for a long time, Mu Ziyun said angrily: "Impossible! If it's really two timelines of one world, it can't be anything different, here... There's nothing I know here..."
"You're only twenty years old, how much have you seen, do you know how big the world is? Even if you are well-informed, do you know where the dividing point of these two world lines is? Change the past at will, and there will be earth-shaking changes in the future. ”
"If it's true, how... How to get back. ”
"Didn't you listen to what I said? When you cross over, your original timeline is gone, and even if you wear it again, it can only be a new timeline. ”
"I just can't go back, can I? Can't go back anyway. ”
Ge Yuan smiled and said, "That's why I said... Time has been 'set' since ancient times, and the rule that cannot be traversed has been 'set'. ”
"Huh?"
Ge Yuan said: "This kind of thing is not happening now, but it appeared at the beginning of the birth of time, if there is really a god who created time, then it must be a headache at the beginning, because it only created a timeline, it may be a nap effort, and when I open my eyes again, there are already countless timelines, if I were it, I would destroy all the timelines, and create a new one, and set an iron rule, no living beings, any situation, any magic is not allowed to travel through time." ”
"So... Is this world or not..."Mu Ziyun said anxiously, "Where the hell is this?" ”
Ge Yuan patted him on the shoulder helplessly, and said: "Be calm, listen to me, no matter how perfect a god is, he can't be the most perfect, I think, the god who set the iron rules has once again eliminated the timeline, because... There will always be fish that slip through the net, but this time the release of countless timelines is a little slower, but the ending is the same, so it has thought of the best way. ”
"How... What to do? ”
Ge Yuan smiled and erased all the lines, and drew a new line on the ground, and then another one, but the second line was not on the ground, but suspended directly above the first line. Ge Yuan said: "This method is too amazing, from the very beginning, it has created two identical timelines, and the fish that have slipped through the net under the iron rules, if they want to travel through time, they will trigger the magic of the god of time, and what they go to is not the original timeline at all, but another timeline side by side, so that it is nothing more than one timeline when it is driving normally, and the other is just one more person when it is driving normally, even if the guy who crosses becomes a demon and a god in the new timeline, It's just a normal flow of time, and billions of years have passed together, and it is just an insignificant point, so even if two side-by-side timelines have passed for a long, long time, from the beginning of their birth to the present, there is not much or too big to be outrageously different. ”
"Oh? According to you, if this world, and mine, have always been side by side, and there are only two, then if I can go back, time will not be out of order, right? ”
Unexpectedly, Ge Yuan's words extinguished Mu Ziyun's joy, and he said: "Don't be stupid, it's a mistake for you to come!" There is no turning back from the 'Boundary Gate'. ”
"What do you mean, I can come, why can't I go back."
"Then I'll ask you," Ge Yuan said, "your world and mine, tsk... In terms of time, it should be side by side, that is to say, it is very likely that in your world, there is also a Ge Yuan, and in this world, there may also be a Mu Ziyun, the world is too big, even if you break through, the chance of meeting Mu Ziyun here is pitifully small, but... You have also seen that the 'realm' gate has been open there for millions of years, how many creatures, walking through the two timelines, will they really not meet each other in the same world? If you do, okay, trouble is coming, maybe a new timeline will appear again, and there will be countless timeline endings, so...'realm' gate, it's not the handiwork of the god of time! It shouldn't have appeared! ”
"Then why did it happen!"
"Think about it, when did it appear...."Ge Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "You may not know, then let me tell you, before the advent of the 'Rule Era', there was no allusion to time travel in the history of the ancient beast clan or the Phoenix Capital, even if it was a 'dream elf', it was just a legend, who had really seen it." ”
Mu Ziyun swallowed his saliva, nodded, and said, "You go on." ”
"Even if the 'dream elves' can really travel through time, they have never reached the point where they can ignore the magic of the time god, of course, the time god is what I guessed, the oldest is also the original god, those who are independent of time, what they do is just jump at different points in time, because there is no longer their position and meaning on the timeline, so, even if they cross, it is impossible to derive a new timeline. It's like if you are a 'dream elf', you heard a story about a god helping the king a long time ago, but you didn't know that tomorrow, you will be the god who helped the king, and everything you do will be regularized and rationalized in time. Therefore, if I were the god of time, I would never be so stupid as to establish a 'realm' gate and let living beings pass through at will, then wouldn't the two timelines that had spawned countless years to this point be ruined? ”
"You are saying that the 'realm' gate was created by the gods who created the 'rule era'."
"That's right, I guess, there must be one of the eighteen gods who can control time, and the meaning of its creation of the 'realm' gate is not to play with two timelines, but..."
"And what..."
Ge Yuan looked meaningfully outside the cave and didn't reply for a long time...
"Say, hey! And what! ”
Ge Yuan was a little distracted, and said hesitantly: "It's for ..... Let the special ...... Creatures.... Encounter..."
"What did you say?" Mu Ziyun didn't hear clearly, Ge Yuan turned around, and suddenly, Mu Ziyun was shocked, "You... What's wrong with you, hey, are you okay. ”
Ge Yuan came back to his senses at this time, black blood flowed out of his nose and even his seven orifices, and the essence of his body seemed to be gone in an instant, he immediately took out the longevity flower and swallowed it in his mouth, after a long time, under the call of a group of people, he opened his eyes, but his eyes were already blood-red, almost blind, he trembled his lips, and said in a faint trembling voice: "This.... And that's... Say.. Wrong.. Divulge... Target... The price...", and fainted.
