Chapter 145: Survivor
Xing Li waited for the two of them to answer.
He knew that the only time to kill was the moment he had just made - the moment when neither Murvikon nor Artassus knew he was back and responded.
Having missed this opportunity, the possibility of trying to inflict fatal damage on them is gone.
However, that doesn't mean he won't pursue it.
For "people" of their level, both ends of time are landscapes that can be clearly seen, and the boundaries between the past and the future are blurred.
But it's so clearly defined.
Each era is independent, and it has its own story and legend.
This period, which is recorded by history as the "tide of time", undoubtedly belongs to the home of "Xing Li".
If what happened here is written into a novel, Xing Li is a well-deserved protagonist.
Every decision he makes will affect the final direction of the entire book.
However, no matter how exciting it is, it is a story that has happened after all, and it probably only has reference significance for future generations.
- That's how it should be.
"If everything is going according to the way it is, there is no need for us to intervene, even if the real past is completely different from the history we know it well. As if he was ready to be questioned, the path of light spread between his raised hands, outlining a clear figure in the darkness - it was the "correct" time lineage, "Unfortunately not. ”
The six eras are arranged in order, and the first is the "tide of time" in which they are now located.
Xing Li's gaze was not fixed on it, but noticed the abruptly disconnected path of light between the second and third eras.
Between the "reverse current of fate" and the "broken eternity", what happened that caused history to be broken?
So why do the spenders and rebels from the further future know so well what is happening in this era?
Artassas's emotions came and went quickly, and he gently revealed the contradiction that he was almost killed instantly, "In fact, it was we who cut off this time. ”
They cut off the endless river of time as a way to avoid some catastrophic consequences.
The time that has flowed from ancient times to the present day is suddenly shattered at the moment when it reaches the breaking point.
And then a new world will come, free from all previous influences.
The fate of the old century can only follow time to collide with nothingness, like the flow of water hitting a solid wall, unable to move forward, only to flow back.
- This is the origin of the "reverse current of fate".
In order to avoid a deeper disaster, it was artificially created in the era of disaster.
The specific performance is also very simple:
All things that have reached the breaking point in time—be it life, civilization, or the world—will become a part of nothingness at the moment of their own inability to transcend time and space.
New things that are indistinguishable from the original will be made in the new time, and they themselves will not even realize that they are being copied.
In this way, the heritage and diversity of civilizations have been preserved, and the world does not seem to have changed in any way.
It's as simple as transferring a file from one folder to another.
The transfer of files is essentially a two-step process – copying out the new file and deleting the source file.
The same is almost true of the reversal of fate.
"It's easy to say, it's not the original one that has been copied after all. It was the first time that Xing Li knew about these causes and stories about the "future", and he strongly disagreed with some of the ideas expressed in them, but he was willing to listen to them.
Mo Weikong did not refute his words: "It's just a difference in the angle of thinking, since everything is the same as the original, it is the same." ”
"That's not the point. Altasus decisively broke the possibility of continuing their argument on this proposition, "The point is that we have resorted to such extreme measures, and in the end we have not been able to completely circumvent the effects of those circumstances." ”
Xing Li raised his eyebrows, "What do 'those situations' mean...... What?"
"Planar Melting, or as you commonly call it here, 'Blue Fall'. ”
Xing Li suddenly turned his head to look at the two of them, and his gaze immediately sank a lot.
Murvikon continued with Artethasus' words, "You may think that the blue worlds that have fallen are from the Outlands, but they are all from Arrente. ”
It was Arrente's uncountable, self-exiled past.
As the birthplace of rebel civilization, the continent of Alrent is also a unique and strange place in the endless plane.
The glorious civilization forces of the same level are all over the major universes, and derivative civilizations are blooming everywhere, and the vast territory and consciousness base ensure the development potential of this huge civilization.
And Alrente ...... The main body of their civilization is huddled on this continent, and they do not even make any expansion except for letting out rebels to make trouble.
"No way, our own continent alone is enough to toss. Artartus had nothing to say about it.
The development potential of glorious civilizations comes from the infinite expansion of the rampant spatial territory, and the terrifying progress of rebellious civilizations depends on their frightening vertical time nesting.
As we all know, the fighting power of the Arrent civilization was fought.
But what is also known is that the world around the continent of Arrente is honest with civilizations.
So who are they fighting the war they have never stopped?
The answer is the past.
"My world has given birth to countless near-god beings and immortal beings, and their shadows have hung over entire continents. Altasus looked at the time node that appeared as "Brilliant Rebellion", and his face could not tell whether it was pride or helplessness, "The rebels never stop, and every war lasts for thousands of years. ”
If the regular steps of warfare were followed, it would have been impossible for the Arrents to survive until now, and their civilization would have been destroyed in the flames of war.
Moderate warfare will promote the rapid progress of civilization, but excessive high-frequency warfare will only inhibit the spark of civilization.
But they survived.
It's all thanks to an absolutely crazy idea.
"I don't know who it started from or when, we have lost too much history and eras, anyway, it's just ......" Artartus was a little distracted, and his tone contained a bit of excitement that he himself had not noticed, "Since there is no way to end the war in a short time, and there is no way to make civilization continue in such a war era, it is better to create an era of 'peace'." ”
Strip each devastating war from its current time and space, and become a closed world independent of all worlds, frozen in the moment it is stripped out.
Then the seeds that were left behind can naturally be reborn on the old site of the mainland.
Then fall into a new cycle - in the face of another devastating war, strip the time and space, enter the prosperous period of civilization, pull back the time and space that was stripped from the past, and end the war.
A never-ending war, a never-ending rebirth.
