On the way to Conference Room 05, Poplar suddenly activated the [Ability Grocery Store] in a situation where he was not using it.

This time it wasn't a list of abilities, it was the first time it was, a small grocery store in the middle of endless black, the counter was still full of goods, and unlike that time, this time the counter was no longer empty.

"Hello, first meeting. The familiar voice of the grocery store owner came from behind the counter.

Poplar looked up and saw a familiar face—his own, just with a little more beard.

"You, you, me, me?" he was speechless.

"Are you trying to ask why I look the same as you?"

Poplar nodded repeatedly.

"Because I am you, or rather, you are me. ”

"What do you mean? Poplar looked dazed.

"You go from the beginning to the end of time, and I go from the end of time to the beginning, if we can meet, then time will form a closed loop, the order power of the ring of time will repel chaos, and the world will survive in endless chaos. ”

Seeing that the poplar tree still had an uncertain expression, the grocery store owner smiled and continued, "Do you know what? The god who created our world, Atasto, is He, who has been sleeping in nothingness for a long time, dreaming billions of dreams, and the power of creation that he has will turn these dreams into reality. ”

"So he's God?"

"No, God is thinking and orderly, while Assasto is in complete chaos and stupidity. Do you know why the universe dies?"

"Due to the principle of entropy increase, the entropy of the universe will continue to increase, so that the universe will eventually be in thermal equilibrium. Poplar's face was stinky, he just listened to that physics class.

"Assasto's endless dreams will gradually become balanced, that is, unified chaos and disorder, which foreshadows the inevitable demise of the world in which we live. ”

"But I think our world is quite orderly, what conservation of energy, conservation of mass, conservation of electrons, very regular. ”

"Rules are also a manifestation of chaos, we are just fleeting beauty in the endless chaos. ”

"So the real purpose of the Union is to maintain this rule and order?"

"Yes. ”

"So may I ask you, who have gone from the end of time to the beginning, has the Federation done it?"

"It was done, and it wasn't. The grocery store owner had a sad look.

"You're really hard to understand!"

"Since the existence of our world is only a fleeting dream of Assasto, the only way to keep this dream going on is to repeat it over and over again. ”

"But in this case, history will always stand still!"

"It won't stand still, as long as this time is repeated enough, those small factors that affect the world will accumulate and eventually be strong enough to compete with Assasto's dreams. ”

"But isn't Assasto the Creator?"

"Yes, but Assasto is everywhere, and even in Assasto's dreams, there are Assasto, and they have the same power as the Creator. ”

"Where's Asaasto?"

The grocery store owner pointed to the poplar tree and then to himself.

"I'm the Creator?!" poplar looked shocked.

"You're not, I'm not, the moment you meet me is. Assasto's power in this world was divided into eight objects, known as the Eight Primordial Vessels, namely the Wine of Eternal Life, the Pot of Greed, the Crown of the Sun God, the Chair of Slackness, the Unruly Wheel, the Primordial Land, the Book of Foresight, and the Spirit of Illusion. We will carry the power of the Primordial and meet on the timeline, on the one hand, to close the loop of time to keep circulating, and on the other hand, to accumulate the power of the Creator to move history forward. ”

"What are the conditions for the encounter?" Poplar asked.

"What you will do is what I have done, and what you have done is what I will do. ”

"How is that possible?"

"The results of the calculations show that the probability of meeting the conditions is 0, but it does not mean that it will not happen, as long as you keep trying, you will always succeed once. ”

"And this time?"

"Failed, that's why I can meet you. ”

"What if it fails?"

"Do it all over again, I activate my ability, turn back time, and the two of us start over until the time we meet. ”

Poplar pondered for a long time when he heard this, and let out a long sigh.

"Last question, what went wrong?"

"You walked out of the left treatment room with your right foot, and I came out with my left foot. The boss laughed and laughed, and snapped his fingers.

Going back in time, he returned to the day when Yang Shu reported in his first year of high school, he looked at a girl in front of him with bright eyes and bright teeth and smiling eyebrows, and shouted on a whim:

"Goddess, I like you, be my girlfriend!"

The story is still repeating itself again and again, once, hundreds, ten thousands, millions, billions...... After countless repetitions, there will always be a time when the story will come to an end, and this wonderful world will survive, and a small but powerful force will be stored, little by little, to push history forward.
