Chapter 725: Disappearing
Humanity is defeated!
The white-haired voice of Shi Shengcun wafted through the hilltop square.
At this moment, it seemed that countless echoes had been generated, which made Cheng Lin a little in a trance, and then he remembered that Shi Shengcun's ability seemed to contain an ability similar to divination.
The so-called revelation from the stars is clearly the embodiment of this divination ability.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Shi Shengcun in reality had divined his identity as a "black robe", and then he was counterattacked.
At first, he thought it was because he had touched the "deduction procedure", but now it seems that the current Shi Shengcun should have a connection with the future Shi Shengcun through divination.
Logically, there is obviously some kind of contradiction in this, hence the so-called "backlash".
Just as he was thinking about this, the white-haired Shi Shengcun spoke again, and said in a light tone:
"Perhaps, you think that sounds too mysterious, or maybe it's a lame excuse I found to excuse myself, but...... Feedback from fate does exist, though until now, I am not strong enough to see the underlying principle, just a crude guess...... I suspect that the revelations I received from my divination may have come from some life in other universes, other planes and planes. ”
As he spoke, he smiled apologetically:
"I'm sorry, it's far away, in short, I only had the Nine Rank Realm at the beginning, at first, I was not completely convinced by the results of this divination, but until they came, when I felt their strength, I was finally sure, even if I tried my best, I still couldn't change the result, and therefore, I chose to escape."
"A wise decision." Cheng Lin said.
Shi Shengcun shook his head, as if he didn't feel any joy for this "compliment":
"So, I was the only one left in the world after the destruction, and the power they showed also inspired me to a certain extent, so I ...... I started working on carving out my own space, and it took me a long time...... Sorry, I can't remember exactly how long it took me.
In fact, at that time, my life had already undergone a certain transformation, and my lifespan had become long, and I had survived until the earth's aura was restored.
Plus, I can keep getting some ...... through divination Higher-level fragments of knowledge.
Eventually, I finally found a way to cross different universes and planes, and then ...... I traveled back in my universe to get here and found you. ”
"Why me?" Cheng Lin frowned, "Since you can already make a time and space jump, why don't you just go to your past self?" ”
"Because there can't be two selves in one time and space, no form of communication is possible," Shi Shengcun immediately replied, "This is a fundamental contradiction in the rules, so I can't communicate with my past self, in fact, in those deductions you have experienced, as long as there is Shi Shengcun, the influence I can exert on you will be greatly reduced." ”
After a pause, he smiled bitterly again:
"My essence can't enter the 'real' world you are in at all, so I can only communicate with you through the spirit, I can't even enter your 'spiritual world', I can only meet you here, even if I die in reality, this contradiction still exists...... And, limited to a few rules, even here, I can only stay for a short time. ”
Cheng Lin frowned and thought for a moment, then said:
"But even if you're limited to the rules and can't communicate with yourself, you can ...... Why did you choose me? ”
After a pause, he narrowed his eyes: "Don't tell me, this is also the result of divination." ”
The white-haired Shi Shengcun was silent and said, "There is indeed this factor. ”
Seeing that Cheng Lin's expression began to change, he hurriedly explained:
"However, there are also very realistic considerations, first, in the time and space I am in, you have also stepped into cultivation in the end, and your strength is not low, you and I are also colleagues, so I know you better.
Second, it's your talent, and the all-round affinity trait will be a bit weak in the early stages, but in the later stages, it will be an unbeatable advantage.
I always thought that if it weren't for them, you would definitely surpass me in the end and become the strongest on earth, plus the revelation given by divination...... Choosing you is the best solution I can think of. ”
Cheng Lin was slightly stunned, this feeling of hearing himself in another universe was very amazing, he suppressed the urge to ask, and said, "That...... One last question. ”
He raised his head and stared at Shi Shengcun: "What is the purpose of their coming?" ”
There must be a reason for the powerful life forms described by the other party to invade the earth and kill so many people.
The white-haired Shi Shengcun paused for two seconds before he spit out a word: "Aura." ”
"What do you mean...... Plundering the aura? ”
Cheng Lin asked rhetorically.
"Yes," the white-haired Shi Shengcun nodded, "I'm sure you've already guessed that when we didn't have aura, we were all just ordinary beings, but when it appeared, it became an extremely valuable resource, both for individuals and groups." ”
"It's like a great flood deduction, and a fertile earth world...... I don't know if you've ever wondered why these two worlds, one has developed for twenty years and the other for two hundred years, but none of the cultivators have ever surpassed the Nine Rank Realm? And in the nuclear war deduction, there is. ”
"That's right, it's because of the plunder, the more cultivators, the less everyone will get, and the more difficult it will be to break through that barrier, so unless there is a disaster that kills the vast majority of people in the world, it won't be enough to make up the total amount needed for a so-called Earth Emperor Realm."
"And the evolution of life has no end, when the resources of the entire planet are devoured, and the eyes are set into the distance, perhaps, it is inevitable."
Shi Shengcun said with emotion.
The wind howls in the mountains.
Cheng Lin's mood was in turmoil.
At this point, he finally sorted out the general situation, although there were still some details of confusion, but he did not delay thinking.
"I don't have a problem anymore." Cheng Lin said.
Then, in a calm tone, he concluded:
"So, you chose me and used projection to help me quickly improve my strength, so that I became a traitor, wanted by the world, and became a 'traitor' and 'demon' in everyone's mouth...... After that, you still want me to use the strength of the seven grades to resist the ...... that will eventually come. They? Save the world and be a hero? ”
Cheng Lin's eyes became very strange:
"Why am I doing this? Since I also have the spirit world, then, why should I save those who curse me, instead of hiding in the spirit world and living the next life? ”
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile: "You don't think ...... I'm going to be a saint, right? ”
Silent.
Silence again.
The white-haired Shi Shengcun didn't speak for a long time, and for a while, he sighed deeply and lowered his gaze again:
"Sorry...... This is something I couldn't have predicted at all...... I didn't expect things to turn out like this, which was very different from my original idea, which was just to get people nervous with a small damage and prepare for the final showdown, but I didn't expect it to happen. ”
"You didn't expect that?"
"In the face of fate, whether it was past or present, I can only watch from the sidelines." After a pause, he smiled bitterly, "Besides, as I said before, it's hard for me to interfere with the world you're in.
That's one of the reasons why I chose this time to meet you.
Originally, I was thinking of waiting for you to be stronger...... But I was caught off guard by the turn of events...... I'll admit you're right, and I can't and won't force you to do anything.
I was just...... If you want to make things clear, just take it as a small compensation for the damage done to you......"
"Whatever you ultimately choose, it's your freedom.
As for strength, your cultivation is indeed insufficient at the moment, but what you lack is only time.
As the spirit realm expands, the worlds you have entered in deduction will be connected, and they will provide you with sufficient aura.
If you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to reach the Emperor of Earth before they come. ”
"Probably only at that level can the final catastrophe be stopped......"
After saying this, the white-haired Shi Shengcun raised his gaze, and his figure suddenly began to fade.
"The time I can make here is coming up, and I've said most of what I have to say," he suddenly laughed to himself, "It's so much easier to say, and that's all I can do." ”
Cheng Lin looked at his rapidly fading body, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "How long will it take for them to arrive?" ”
"Three years."
There was a short silence, and then, just when Shi Shengcun's figure continued to fade and was about to disappear, Cheng Lin suddenly said curiously:
"According to the theory you told me before, even if this catastrophe does not happen again, it will still not affect your future...... After all, you and I are no longer in the same universe in nature, so ...... You're putting so much effort into it just to change one of the countless possibilities...... Does it make sense? ”
On the white-haired Shi Shengcun's already extremely thin face, a pair of eyes dimmed slightly, and then they lit up again, and spit out four words: "But ask for peace of mind." ”
After saying that, his figure completely disappeared from this world, returning to someone in the infinite universe.
Only these four words remained, drifting in the wind whistling high in the sky.
At the same time, Cheng Lin's mobile phone shook slightly, he picked it up and looked at it, only to see that the icon of the deduction program app silently turned into countless points of light and disappeared.
Cheng Lin was silent, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until the sun on this planet began to tilt westward, and he suddenly knocked his forehead in annoyance:
"There's a question I forgot to ask!"
It was only then that he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask about the words "Hello, Cheng Lin" sent to the starry sky in the third deduction, and the face that filled the entire starry sky.
