Chapter 16: Time and Fate

What is time?

What do the two pointers of 'finite' indicate?

Or is it the trajectory that things have traveled 'infinitely' forward?

Or is it a future driven by the present that is superimposed on countless pasts?

Speaking of, what is limited? What is infinity?

Why is the past the past, rather than the present, the past?

How do you define it now? Consciousness definition? Spatial demarcation?

And what is the future? Collectively referred to as something that hasn't happened yet? Or is it the expectation that should have happened?

Well, let's assume that the past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future.

So, why is there a future to look forward to in the present that has been obtained by devouring the past?

What is the expectation of the hypocritical present, the present that should have fallen into sadness, and the future that is piled up every second?

In other words, what is it in the end to believe in what such an infinite future displays, so that the 'finite' present will pass inexorably?

Does this still claim to dominate time and grasp the world?

In the end, isn't it a bird in captivity?

"Ah, little bird, little bird, when will you be freed from the cage in captivity? In other words, using the originally 'finite' clock to indicate the 'infinite' time, there is really enough contradiction for a person to be a imprisoned bird, don't you think so? O my brother! ”

As he said this, a figure infected by a black shadow looked up at the door.

This is a room where there are clocks and alarm clocks of different shapes, both on the walls and on the floor, and almost every clock has a different time.

There are occasional clocks of the same time, but if you look closely, you can see that one of them is walking with the second hand and the other is going backwards.

There are also some clocks in which the hour hand pushes the minute hand and then pushes the second hand to go, rather than the ordinary sequence in which the second hand pushes the minute hand and then the hour hand to go, and even some clocks, the second hand and minute hand do not move, but the hour hand rotates by itself.

All in all, the various clocks, the time displayed by the various clocks, and the movement of the seconds and minutes of the various clocks make up such a room with an unusually strange atmosphere.

And on the left-hand side of such a room, near the direction of the bookshelf, the figure was folding his legs, putting down the book he was reading, and looking out of the door.

There, there was an uninvited guest, who looked like the glasses 'Apocalypse' in the first place, or who?

Listening to the title of the figure, Tian Qiming was silent for a moment, and he didn't know if it was because of what memory was affected by this title, or if the meaning that this title replaced was something that he could not bear.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it seems that I didn't look at the atmosphere and caused you trouble."

The figure said lightly, and his tone did not match the words of apology at all: "So, the first one, what a rare guest, you actually took the initiative to come to me, what kind of wind blew you here?" You must know that you, the strongest supermaster with the ability of destiny, are not something that a small person like me can call. ”

"In that case, I'm not going to beat around the bush."

Apocalypse was obviously very calm: "Fourth, you just 'erased' time, right?" ”

"Oh, did you notice that? It's also, after all, it's a supermaster who is manipulated by the ability of fate. ”

The fourth pretended to shrug his shoulders: "However, there is nothing to be curious about, right?" After all, my ability is to manipulate time. I can still do it lightly out of interest to kill time or something. How? You're here just to ask me about my sins? Could it be that the time I have passed is the pleasant time you are jerking off, so you are unhappy and want to ask me to go back to that time? Hey, number one, it's not a hobby, it's a lot of that kind of thing, but it hurts. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Tian Qiming did not speak, nor did he deny or admit it, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

Eventually, the fourth person raised his hand in surrender.

He didn't have the basic interest of looking at a man, besides, this room was his 'private domain', and the first place that made him extremely unhappy was in this place, but it was the thing he hated the most.

"Well, number one, I'll admit that I just erased a certain period of time. But you should know better than me about the specific 'reasons', right? ”

Speaking of this, the fourth half-narrowed his eyes: "His name is Ye Feiye, right?" actually made you pay so much attention to it, and even gave him the fate to do it all over again. Well, I can't control where you are or what you do, and I can't do it. However, the person named Feng Nuwa happened to talk to him about the nature of my abilities, and I had to pay attention to it. Of course, if you persist, it's not impossible to restore time. ”

"Nope."

Apocalypse finally spoke: "Since it is a problem involving you, it will be eliminated if it is eliminated." But are you going to report to your father? ”

"With the chairman?"

The fourth person pretended to have an exaggerated expression: "He doesn't care about such a trivial matter." In your opinion, the Ye Feiye who attaches so much importance to is, in the eyes of the chairman, just a pawn of the plan. But I want to say, first of all, how long do you want to make trouble? The chairman is not such a patient person, you can understand what I mean, right? ”

"Hmph, 'New World'?"

Tian Qiming suddenly sneered: "I am not interested in the matter of your conspiracy with my father at all, if he asks, you will report it directly, originally, didn't you follow his will and closely monitor the time of all the people involved, including me?" If you tell him, I won't do what he wants. That man will only follow his own **, I have already peeked into the fate of the world, if it goes on like this, the world will only have the fate of being destroyed, and I will never let him do this. ”

As he spoke, Apocalypse disappeared outside the door, as silent as when he came.

But looking at the direction outside the door where Apocalypse Ming disappeared, the face of the fourth person suddenly became gloomy.

"Fate? Still talking about such inconsequential things. You don't understand anything at all, and the future of destiny that you are peeking into with your poor abilities is meaningless. The 'New World' is not such a simple thing! Fate or time, there will be a new definition. Brother, no, the first one, the person who said that it would not be as you wished, it should be me! I'm going to turn your fate upside down, no, I can, including 'her' fate!" ”

As he spoke, the fourth's gaze fell on a photo frame on the table, and in the photo held on the photo frame, a smiling face like a flower was reflected.

On the other side, ignoring Ye Feiye, who seemed confused because time was suddenly gone, Feng Nuwa continued.

I saw that after clearing her throat, she said: "Based on the 'Dirac Sea', it forms a world line formed by the entanglement of the positive universe, the anti-universe and the energy universe, running through the past, present and even the future, extending infinitely. However, despite this, the world line formed by the tripartite universe is not fixed, and will affect various presents and thus various futures due to various pasts. If the whole of the world line is compared to 1, then the probability of such a change is the so-called rate of change, and the number of each change jΓΉ can lead to a parallel world, which is included in the whole of this 1. ”

"That's not right, is it?"

Ye Feiye sensed something wrong: "If every number of changes can lead to a parallel world, then according to what you said, in the 'now' we are in, aren't there countless other parallel worlds in the 'now'?" But is it possible? Just as I'm here, so I'm me, but I'm in another parallel world, but I'm not perceived by this me now, so is that really me? Am I still me if it's not mine? ”

"Sorry, it looks like I didn't explain it clearly."

Feng Nuwa had an apologetic expression on her face: "When I mean other parallel worlds caused by the rate of change, I don't mean that those worlds have countless of us. Originally, parallel worlds are extremely abstract, just as you said, even if those worlds really exist in countless of us, but they are not perceived by us, they are not us. ”

"So ......!?" Ye Feiye frowned slightly, and he began to understand what the other party wanted to express.

"Well, that's still an assumption of mine."

Feng Nuwa nodded: "Putting aside whether other parallel worlds exist in the same world as ours, I think that when certain events that can affect the entire era or even wars occur, the rate of change of the world will begin to change. For example, because of these events and wars, world a, which is at a rate of change of 0.98568649, enters world b at 0.823123654. ”

This process is not perceived by man, if it is to be said, because the world of world A is reversed with the consciousness of all things in the world of world b. Or world B didn't have those events and wars, so it extended to world A where they didn't happen, and world A extended to world B because those events and wars happened. ”

In fact, this kind of reversal has been put forward in the scientific community for a long time, and he said this, why do people obviously experience the so-called past and enter the present, but once they look back, they often have an unreal feeling? Or are you even confused about what you did in the past? According to his temperament, it would have been absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

The man explained it this way, and it is obvious that people do not experience the past into the present, but after the past happens, the past self immediately retunes with the consciousness of the present self, but according to the law of energy loss, in the process of transformation, anything will always cause a certain amount of energy to dissipate.

In other words, when the past and the present self are reversed, there is a certain loss of Cheng dΓΉ, so many times, some people will not remember the things they have done in the past, and even the feelings they felt when they did those things at that time, etc.

"Huh? So, Miss Feng, you said that your relationship is less than half of that of ordinary people, is it because you lost money in the process of such a reversal? ”

Although what the other party said was too terrifying, Ye Feiye still had to ask out loud.

In other words, is it possible to reconcile oneself in the past and present, or even in a world in a different worldline?

"Originally, it was." Feng Nuwa was noncommittal.

"Originally? What do you mean? Ye Feiye was stunned when he heard this.

"Ye Feiye, do you know the meaning symbolized by the ancestor of the Nuwa clan, the Earth Emperor Nuwa, who has the 'Mother Earth'?"

Feng Nuwa glanced at Ye Feiye lightly: "The earth means that it is rooted here, and it cannot be left lightly." According to the worldline interpretation, we Nuwa people who are in the world of this world line cannot easily switch consciousnesses and leave. But as you said before, we who can't perceive other parallel worlds are not us, so because of this, the Nuwa clan has been facing serious problems for generations. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Nuwa's face was suddenly full of caution: "We who symbolize the earth, even if we can't leave lightly, we can't watch the world that was originally in the world line turn away, we must follow, otherwise our earth's meaning will be meaningless." The meaning of the earth of the world line of that world will face collapse because of our Nuwa clan. However, if we do this forcibly, we will only face a situation where one generation is inferior to the next, and one day, we will perish due to the complete dissipation of our power. ”

"You know what? The first place where the Nuwa clan was located was not the small 'Nuwa City' as it is now, but the 'Nuwa Country' of a large country. But since the beginning of the ancestors, the world has been reversed between the world lines many times due to various events and wars, and we Nuwa people who have followed the steps of the reversal have only the size of poor Nuwa City left today. The so-called fixed number of clansmen who have not increased or decreased, from hundreds of thousands at the beginning, to less than 1,000 people today. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ye Feiye moved his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.

But immediately, he remembered what the other party said before: "Miss Feng, you said before that this was the original, but what about now?" Does it mean that a solution has been found? ”

"Wa and Yuan, cause and effect, this is the solution of the Nuwa family."

A sudden sound, accompanied by the figure of an uninvited guest, came!
