Detachment: "To explain the timeline topology, we must first understand the secrets of the world we live in, and it may not be a blessing to know this secret, are you sure you really want to listen?"

Shen Xiao smiled: "Although it is said that curiosity kills cats, but when I encounter a secret but don't inquire about it, I'm afraid few people can do it, and I'm just a layman, so whatever you have to say, I'll just listen to the story." ”

The detached person controlled this dark cloud to constantly change into words that Shen Luo could read, and Shen Luo patiently memorized the words word by word.

The detached first defines the true meaning of the child of destiny, that is, the existence of the protagonist.

The detached put forward the theory of the protagonist of the world – that is, there is the protagonist first and then the world.

Everything in a world is born because of the needs of the protagonist, and without the protagonist there would be nothing in this world.

Some people may ask, what about the history of the world that existed before the main character appeared? At that time, the main character did not exist! If there is history, it means that this world has existed for a long time.

Shen Luo also has such confusion, and in order to facilitate Shen Luo's understanding, the detached person made such an assumption:

Suppose there is an author named Wu Chengen, one day he wants to write a book, and when he writes down the three words "Journey to the West", it is equivalent to the singularity at the beginning of the birth of "Journey to the West".

As the author of the novel, Wu Chengen has mastered all the rules of this novel and the future plot direction, and he is equivalent to the supreme heavenly ghost for the "Journey to the West Universe".

As the supreme heavenly ghost, Wu Chengen began to write the content of the chapter, from the moment the first word in the first chapter was written, it was equivalent to the singularity of "Journey to the West", which began to explode under the influence of external forces, and a new "Journey to the West Universe" began to form in the explosion.

After the Big Bang of "Journey to the West", there were four directions.

The first direction of "Journey to the West": Wu Chengen, as the supreme heavenly ghost, did not set any cosmic rules for the Journey to the West, and the story directly began with "Suddenly one day, lightning and thunder, heaven and earth were shaken, and a golden stone egg jumped and slid happily from the top of the mountain......".

So in addition to the fact that this is a world where stone monkeys were born, the rules of this world are completely up to "the universe itself".

"The universe looks at itself" is its first direction.

The second direction of "Journey to the West Universe": Wu Chengen, as the supreme heavenly ghost, on the basis of the first kind of "the universe looks at itself", through the follow-up supplementary setting, stipulates some cosmic rules and improves the details of these cosmic rules.

The third direction of "Journey to the West": Before the universe was formed, Wu Chengen, as the supreme heavenly ghost, had a specific outline, and carried out all the settings of world view, cultivation system, historical background, and so on.

As for the remaining details, compatibility issues, and contradictions, Wu Chengen didn't bother to fill in the pit and justify himself, shook his hand, and once again left all the remaining problems to the universe, letting the universe handle it itself.

The fourth direction of "Journey to the West Universe": Wu Chengen, as the supreme heavenly ghost, not only has an outline, but also is very detailed, for example, there is a paragraph at the beginning: the opening of Pangu, the rule of the three emperors, the five emperors Dinglun, the world is divided into four continents, said Dongsheng Shenzhou, said West Niuhe Zhou, said South Ganbu Continent, said North Juluzhou, there is a mountain in the sea, called Huaguo Mountain......

He took the above past history, pattern and geography as the fait accompli of "Journey to the West Universe" and used it as the background board of the story.

Then he began to tell the story of Sun Monkey jumping out of the stone, and then told the story of him being the Monkey King, seeking eternal life, haunting the Dragon Palace, changing life and death, etc., and constantly enriching and improving a series of details such as the world view, monster system, immortal Buddha system, and the structure of the underworld and the heavenly court of this "Journey to the West Universe" in the progress of the story to enrich the structure of the "Journey to the West Universe".

Under his operation, the most perfect Journey to the West universe was formed.

The above four world directions all have one thing in common, that is, no matter how this world is set, the original intention of the formation of "Journey to the West Universe" is to serve the protagonists or protagonists.

That is, the moment Sun Dasheng came out of the crack in the stone, this Journey to the West world can be regarded as the real sense of existence.

By extension, as long as there are children of destiny in the world, they are as described above.

Therefore, if the world in which Shen Luo lives is also the world of novels, and he, as the protagonist of the novel, has nearly 30 years of experience and remembers a lot of historical knowledge of the world in which he lives, how old was Shen Luo when this world was formed? How many of those life experiences are false memories that are forcibly instilled in his mind? It depends on how old Shen Luo was at the beginning of the chapter.

For example, at the beginning of the novel, it was written that Shen Luo was eighteen years old this year and had just finished the college entrance examination.

Then this world was born at the end of the college entrance examination when Shen Luo was eighteen years old, as for what he experienced before the age of eighteen, what was the history of the world in his mind, etc., it is just a piece of data to use as a background explanation.

Similarly, if Shen Luo is really in the world of the novel, Shen Luo, as the protagonist, may appear out of thin air, and suddenly be given a persona, an age, and an identity, and then appear in this world inexplicably.

As a party, he did not violate any discord, and he felt that he had really lived for eighteen years......

After Shen Luo understood this, he instantly felt terrified to think about it, and then the detached person's account made him even more frightened.

As mentioned earlier, the Supreme Heavenly Ghost controls the Great Universe World constructed by the Eight Parallel Worlds. Basically all of these worlds have only one timeline, and the past, present, and future are consistent.

This means that all the past, present, and future of these worlds are established facts and cannot be deviated from.

To put it simply, everything in the protagonist has been arranged properly, and everything is predestined.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that there is really a world of novels or movies, and the novels are over and the movies have been released.

So isn't everything that happens in this world an established plot that can't be changed?

Everything is predestined, is this terrifying?

Some people who like romance think that the destined love is very romantic, but life is not an idol drama, it really makes you and a person who lacks arms and legs, has a face full of sores, has nothing to do all day long, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, smokes all five drugs, has a lot of debts at home, and has a failed parents' family business, are you willing to be together, do you still feel romantic about this kind of fate?

It is true that some people are born with a good starting point and may be glad that this fate is predestined. But what if your life is thinner than paper, you are doomed to a lifetime of poverty and misery, and all your efforts are meaningless and in vain?

In real life, even if you believe in fatalism, you will still struggle to believe in proverbs such as one life, two fortunes, and three feng shui, and will always hope to change your life against the sky through other methods, such as feng shui, such as accumulating virtue and yin gong, such as reading and progressing.

But now someone is telling you clearly that your life cannot be changed, so never despair or fear?

Some people may think that there is no need to be so pessimistic, no matter whether the fate is good or bad, living in the moment is it, but is this kind of fate really just the result?

No, it's not!

What scares Shen Luo the most is not precisely what the result is, but the process.

For example, Shen Luo came up with an idea of being hungry and wanting to eat at the moment, so is this idea his own real idea or because the plot needs to be choreographed......

Including every word, expression, action, and decision he said since he was a child, will everything that happened on his thirtieth birthday have already been written in the script of a movie......

Including at this moment, could it be that the Supreme Heavenly Ghost deliberately let himself know the secrets of the world through the transcendent......

Could it be that all the reasoning conjectures are just the self-talk of a certain author, a certain director, a certain screenwriter, and a certain game programmer under schizophrenia......

Could it be that at this moment, someone like a reader is watching him here in horror......

Shen Luo suddenly wanted to escape from this terrible world, because the more he speculated about the possibilities, the more desperate he felt.

The detached person seemed to feel Shen Luo's gaffe, and hurriedly told Shen Luo that things were not as bad as he imagined.
