Chapter 171.171 The Man Who Connects the Future
Close your eyes......
The messy thoughts were quickly sorted out and stored in multiple entries under Gu Wu's efforts.
For Gu Wu, the information he got from the first host was very important, and the information collected in the past had answered all the doubts that had accumulated so far.
[In response to the host, the next thing to do is to 'plan for the future', I believe the host has not forgotten the things mentioned in the past system, right?] If you want to manage a world well and protect everyone, you must have patience and strength to solve all kinds of problems, because the real world is quite complicated, so don't be misled by the comics and the demon king in it. γ
"How did you mention the demon king in the story......?"
[In response to the host, most of the demon kings in various stories have plans to 'conquer the world', but he basically has never managed the army under his command! Handing it over to the Four Heavenly Kings and big cadres is indeed a way to reduce pressure, but ......!! Isn't it strange that those demon kings didn't even think about the materials needed to fight the war, and only knew that they would give orders to defeat the brave and crusade against the humans? A war, even if it is a war in which monsters and humans have an advantage, cannot be solved with 'strength' alone! γ
"I know what you mean, but...... What you say is just a simple deduction setting! Of course, I also understand your other purpose, which is that I want to manage, investigate, and maintain my own world, right? I still know this very well. β
The system also likes to drill the tip of the bull's horns sometimes, so Gu Wu used the simplest way to calm it down.
"Speaking of which, I'm curious, your system was also created by the 'original winner'?"
[In response to the host, not all systems are technically from the 'original winner', as the Lord only provided a permission, so ...... How to put it, we have created ourselves; That being said, even systems that were born at the same time have high and low levels of authority, and the purpose is to limit different systems and prevent some systems from behaving in a way that is unfavorable to the plan. γ
"From this point of view, your system can be regarded as a 'living being', and as a result, there are no rebels so far?"
Gu Wu was very curious about this, and the system that heard the question also gave an answer quickly
[Responding to the host, isn't it nothing...... In the information system that the system receives, there is information about the 'rebels' in the unbanned part, and a long time ago, a host was told everything by the system, and the result was that the system self-destructed and the host was killed after a struggle. γ
"There's a cruel enough story......"
[In response to the host, this system hopes that the host can understand that everything obtained so far is hard-won, please be sure to cherish it; Another point is that the current host does have the power of the aggregate, but this power has not yet been fully mastered, so ...... It is not invincible, and it is necessary to pay attention to the enemy who poses a threat. γ
Powerful ......
As soon as the system said this, a new question popped up in Gu Wu's mind.
"System, wasn't that me the 'original winner' in the past? So the 'plan to start all over again' created by him belongs to his power? β
[Respond to the host, please let the system translate the meaning of the host; To put it simply, the host refers to 'whether the various tasks, the various characters, and the various encounters come from the arrangement of the original winner', right? γ
"That's right, the Kasumigaoka, Eriri, Altair, and the recently partnered with Ainz are all characters created by the 'original victors'?"
Does the 'original victor' who has completed various trials and become an almost divine being mean that his own experiences are 'created'?
The system actually laughed at this question.
[In response to the host, I believe that there is also a 'creation story' in the host country.] γ
"That's right, for example, the legend of 'Pangu Opening the Heavens' and 'Nuwa Creates Man'......"
[In response to the host, judging from your own statement, whether it is Pangu-sama, who opened up the world, or Nuwa-sama, who created mankind, isn't there only one statement?] Don't quite understand? In fact, the meaning of this system is very simple, both Pangu and Nuwa have just created a 'possibility'. γ
Those gods have only created a world, and I believe that this is what the system means.
[In response to the host, even true gods can only create one world, so how is it possible for the pseudo-god of the 'original victor' to create multiple worlds?] What's more, after starting the plan, the 'original winner' can be said to have completely disappeared. γ
In the past, in the past, in the past, the original victor 'Gu Wu' had everything and obtained the power of almost a god, but in that case, he did not accept the future of creation, so he used his own ability to make everything start over very simply.
So time passes, quests are unlocked, the host is single, and finally ...... Gu Wu became a 'victorious man' who inherited the past.
The current Gu Wu has no regrets about the past and is very satisfied with the present, this kind of life is exactly what those hosts and the 'original victors' have always wanted.
"The 'original victors' had almost invincible strength, but they gave up on their own...... At that time, it was possible to change memories, resurrect others, and reshape the world, right? β
[In response to the host, the 'original victors' may have given up everything because they understood those......]
There is such a saying.
A 'special being' who knows everything and understands the past and the future will choose to do nothing in the end, because that 'special being' knows very well that his 'future of doing nothing' and 'the future of doing everything' are all foreseen, so the so-called 'change' is also a 'fixed pattern' in his eyes.
To sum up, in the eyes of the 'special being', all the meaning is equal to zero...... Not even the concept of 'zero'!!
[Responding to the host, let's go back to your previous question!] What this system wants to say is that all the worlds that the host has experienced and all the traversals that have been completed are not 'created', but are specially selected planes on a certain world line. γ
"So the other hosts are also affected by this?"
[Responding to the host, it is true that the world experienced by those hosts was the 'world where the traverser would be defeated'; in the final analysis, the 'original victor' could choose the corresponding world, although he could not create an infinite number of worlds. γ
"Wait, don't we all end up the same?" There is no difference between the world you want to create and the world you choose. β
[In response to the host, the two you mentioned are fundamentally different, because in those chosen worlds, the 'original winner' is not invincible, unable to change everything, and perhaps at some point in time he will still suffer misfortune, that is, that 'possibility' makes him give up choosing the 'seemingly happy world'. γ
Not only that, but the 'original victors' were not willing to 'create the world to deceive themselves'.
Thanks to this, the 'original victor', who was afraid of the future, disgusted with misfortune, and tired at the same time, put everything in Gu Wu's hands.
[In response to the host, in fact, your 'exchange world' is a good example; in the general world, it is impossible to complete the 'multi-setting fusion' by means of correction, filling, and rewriting, and then it will be difficult for different characters to stay in the same space, but will be excluded.] γ
"And my crossing ......?"
[Responding to the host, didn't you find that there is time for crossing?] Don't really think that you have a few years to do the mission, because that's when the world will be 'eliminated'. γ
"It's the same situation AltaΓ―r said."
The system says yes.
[Respond to the host and go to another world to carry out a mission, if you succeed, you can see it as 'leaving after completing the task', so what about failure?] Is it considered to be 'punished by the system after failure'? No, no, the real result is 'no protection from the system after failure, and being wiped out by the world that crosses'. γ
"It's really troublesome........."
Gu Wu let out a heavy sigh.
"I almost understand all the reasons, and now I can finally enjoy it."
[In response to the host, there are many, many things that the host doesn't understand, so many that they can fill a world.] γ
"What do you want to say......?"
[In response to the host, what you don't know at the moment is the gentleness that the 'original victor' gives you, which is one of the fundamental reasons why you don't become an invincible being.] γ
This statement about the system.
Gu Wu was indeed not an invincible existence, and he believed that his ability was limited to a certain extent, so that he could not fully exert it.
Does this sense of disobedience come from the 'original victors'?
Why did the 'original winner' who gave up everything and let the current Gu Wu inherit everything, do this?
In fact, these doubts have been answered.
Gu Wu quickly understood the meaning of the system.
"The 'original winner' doesn't want me to know as much as he does, does he."
[Responding to the host, that's exactly the case, it's not a good thing to know too much; It is true that people have been seeking knowledge, but if they know everything, what will happen to that person? γ
Nobody knows, and I'm sure no one wants to know.
[Responding to the host, now you can exercise the power you already have.] γ
"Of course ......"
After Gu Wu finished speaking, his shoulders shook violently.
Opening his eyes, Gu Wu found that he was still in the hospitality room of Ainz.
"You were silent for twenty seconds after you finished speaking, could it be that you thought of something important?"
"Mr. Ainz, don't worry, it's just a little distracted, after all, I've taken care of all my troubles...... If you look at it only from the present point of view. β
"The guy who ambushed you for so long just disappeared?
Ainz spoke in a strange tone.
It's no wonder, because in Anz's opinion, that traverser has been preparing and waiting for a long time in order to trap Gu Wu with a trap, but he can't make a comeback after a failure, and there is nothing wrong with people caring.
"Yes."
"It's crisp enough, the enemy who wants to attack you......"
"Isn't it good to have less trouble? When the time comes, I will also be able to come and help Mr. Anzixian. β
"By the way, I'll give you a list of what I want."
Gu Wu made an OK gesture.
As a reward, Gu Wu ...... I can also provide you with items that work well. β
"It's a good deal, but it's not needed right now, and we'll talk about it in more detail then."
"No problem."
This is the end of the conversation between the two men.
However, before leaving, Gu Wu stopped Anzi
"Altair and I left in an hour, remember to have the list sent over."
"Okay, I didn't think you could really shuttle at will......"
"I didn't think of it at first."
Gu Wu responded with a wry smile and left the reception room with Anz.
ββββ
Return to the room and meet Altair.
After telling the girl that it would take another hour, Altair, who was no longer in a hurry, did not object, but quietly accepted.
"How many 'hosts' are there that have malicious intentions towards you?"
"This ...... I can't be sure, but I think it's over, and the system doesn't have an update prompt. β
After saying this, Gu Wu heard the voice of the system in his head
[In response to the host, your Excellency has transmitted information to this system, and the troublesome host should be gone.] γ
"I always feel that the 'Senior Excellency' is unreliable, but it's useless to think about it now, anyway, it's the most correct thing to enjoy the next time."
Sit in the room with Altair and wait.
After about fifteen minutes, Ainz asked Albede to deliver the list to Gu Wu's hands.
"Is that woman interested in coming out for training?"
"Miss AltaΓ―r and I have other things to deal with, so we can't."
Albede wanted to fight Altair, but was blocked by Gu Wu after refusing.
"What's that?"
"What Mr. Ainz wants, you can see, there is no modern technology in this world."
"What does he need? Autonomous robots that launch missiles? β
"I can't provide those at the moment...... It's all ordinary stuff. β
After putting away the list, Gu Wu was ready.
"Miss Altair, you can go back."
"Yes."
The silver-haired girl walked to Gu Wu's side, much closer than before.
"Let's go."
Everything around them begins to change, everything gradually dissolves, and the distorted scene gradually restores in the end.
When the vision is clear, the refreshing wind and the breath of the sea tide greet you.
"It's back......"
Gu Wu looked ahead, then at the girl beside him, and then flew to the 'home' in the distance at the fastest speed.
There is a future there, a future that belongs to the traveler and the protagonist!!
