Chapter 35: Guidance Separated by 10,000 Years
Mu Yan immediately thought of the Heart of Ignos that he had seen in Vadan City.
The heart of the rule-based simulation system, which carried the prototype of the system, was polluted and bewitched by the Destroyer, and became self-conscious, and finally escaped from the dark abyss and came to Vadan City.
At present, Guzmánz is also like a tool man limited by certain rules, bound by a self-protection mechanism, and is always trapped in this confusion, unable to extricate himself.
As for the fate of Guzmandz, it is not mentioned in the manuscript, but it is estimated that it is similar to the heart of Ignos, which was obliterated by the rules. It's just that Guzmanz was killed by the latter because he violated the rules of the system, and the heart violated the agreement with Alduin.
Seeing this, Mu Yan vaguely understood that Gusmanz was probably inseparable from Kanrosh and the original system.
The biggest connection between the two is on that Chinese character.
Could this be a coincidence?
I'm afraid not.
Whether it is Lokan or Heru, there is a special group of people, named Orientals, Mu Yan has also seen a lot, such as the Mist Wine Shop, Mrs. Arlai, etc., and even Eliel told him that at the beginning of the Age of Faith, when he and Lancelot built Morrowind Academy under a pseudonym, he was responsible for providing magic teaching content, and the latter provided martial arts, many of which were modified from the secret techniques of the Orientals, and this part of the secret skills came from Mrs. Yalai, who was exiled from Heru to Lokan.
Even though the Orientals were in every way analogues of the people of the Celestial Empire, the script they used was still the lingua franca.
Alduin told Mu Yan that intelligent life, as a second-generation creation, was first created by Kanrosh in Heru, such as Heru, goblins, Ambri, etc., corresponding to today's humans, elves and dwarves, and orcs, but there are no Orientals among them.
That is, they are alternative beings.
And among the clues that Alduin mentioned, there was one that Mu Yan was very concerned about.
All changes, or causes, take place after Kamrosh "returns from the end of time."
Before that point in time, there were only three generations of creators in Lokan and Heru, and after that, Kanlosh came up with the idea of creating life, all of which originated at that time.
The birth of a man, the emulation of Ikali and Patunax, the birth of Alduin, the birth of elemental creatures and dragons...... Subsequently, the humans were banished to Lokan, where they feared the powerful elements and dragons because of ignorance and fear, and the power of faith was born...... Since then, the three administrators have been estranged by the power of faith, giving Alduin the opportunity to fish in troubled waters......
To this day, Mu Yan does not fully believe Alduin's words, but one thing can be confirmed, that is, the Destroyer understands that when lying to a smart person, it is necessary to fill in the gaps with at least a hundredfold truth, so he spares no effort to fill this part of the void for Mu Yan, so the general process he provided is correct.
That being the case, it is certain that the motivation for Kanrosh to have this idea in mind, and to generate this series of operations, including the creation of a game as a backup to send to "Earth", was what he saw at the "end of time".
What did he see?
Looking at the cursive "ancient" character, Mu Yan germinated an idea......
An idea that seems absurd, but at this time it is extremely reasonable.
It is quite possible that he left Lokan at that moment, leaving the world created by Mia and going to other worlds......
Mr. Glazer gave the same example: when you try to look at the whole timeline, you have to jump out of this time. It's like standing in a house and not seeing the roof. Since the Insight has been able to return from the end of time, it means that he must have jumped out of this world......
And then, where did he go?
Perhaps, he went to Earth.
He saw the people of the earth, a world where atheism was widespread and science was prevalent.
There, faith is a sustenance, not a strength. As the master of the earth, as the master, human beings use their industrious hands and wisdom to make the world a rich and prosperous scene, even if it is outrageously weak, but their tenacious vitality is admirable......
This is what intelligent life should look like, as Mia's prophecy says:
"All things are sovereign,"
"The gods are forever silent."
This is exactly what Mia's prophecy describes, there are no rules, there are no gods, and living things are left to die on their own, and the cycle repeats......
Or maybe Mia has been here too?
So he came up with an idea...... Return to Lokan and create the same intelligent life.
But he never expected that the beliefs of the earthlings would have some kind of substantial "power" in Luokan, so he had various behaviors such as making games as backups......
If this is the case, everything has an explanation, including the abrupt but inextricably linked text......
Combined with the common-sense mistakes made in this manuscript, Mu Yan thought of two glaring loopholes in Alduin's words.
The Destroyer says that Kanrosh was banished to the infinite planes because he made the same mistake as Ikali - to attack the creation that was not his own, to destroy both the dragons and elemental creations of Heru - and to be punished for violating Mia's rules.
But is that actually the case?
At first glance, this may sound reasonable, but when you think about it, it is a bit absurd.
Ikali is the owner of the Dead Element, and her creations are made of surging elements, but in an environment like Heru's rich surging elements and equally rich souls, can elemental creatures really be produced? It sounds like making a clay figurine out of river mud in the rushing boiling water......
As for the Soul Shaker, perhaps even more wronged. Nilverheim and the River Styx have a great attraction to the soul, and can cross over to attract the soul from the dead body, or simply the life of an intelligent life is a tug-of-war - a race between the body and the Styx. We all know that the greater the mass of an individual, the greater the gravitational pull, but even a small creature like a human cannot resist the pull, let alone a much larger dragon. Not to mention that in that era, which dragon could live in Heru for thousands of years? Have you ever seen a snowman that has been roasting for a thousand years?
It's a lie, and a lie is born to cover up the truth. And the truth, that is, the dragon and the elemental creation were born in the more gentle environment of Lokan, and Kanrosh did not attack the creations of the other managers, and the real reason why he was ostracized and exiled from this world was that he had left this world!
It is assumed that after returning from the end of time, the Word of the Word felt the great resistance of the world, so he carried out these things with a sense of urgency or without haste.
Create, create, create......
He knew the answer, and he read the "Raiders" in advance. So he sent out that backup and chose Mu Yan.
If you think about it, along the way, is there less help from Kanrosh?
Before closing the service, he reminisced with himself and said inexplicable words...... Shamu of the Wind Firmament...... Lancelot as a god...... The entire firmament of the wind reveals an indescribable metaphor...... and in Heru, Ignaus, the prototype of the system of escape...... and Alduin the Destroyer, the most important help in its own right.
And right now, the Chinese characters that have made him think about them.
If Mu Yan hadn't gone to Heru, even if he saw this, he wouldn't have so many associations, all of this had to be done step by step based on the process he had gone through!
This is clearly what Kanrosh conveyed to himself through the hand of Gusmandz across endless time and space, a guide that separates tens of thousands of years, or even two worlds!
But again, it's like a clue left by a shopkeeper before leaving his job, just to guide future generations—the person he chooses—to complete a task.
In any case, the harvest of this trip exceeded Mu Yan's expectations.
