After Neil awoke from the two Sierelsian spaceships, he sat alone on the ground for hours.

He had just had the clearest, longest, most heart-rending and most unforgettable dream of his life.

Dees and Wicktim playfully ignored Neil and let him sit there. Dees was busy piloting the ship, and Victim was doing some other things on the side, occasionally laughing and talking to Dees.

Victim thoughtfully poured a glass of water and handed it to Neil, who grabbed her and asked why they had rescued him and why they didn't let him sink to the bottom of the sea with his own people, and Victim tilted his head and smiled bitterly at him, telling him that he was actually dead in that parallel world.

Neil leaned against the corner of the cabin, sitting alone for a long time, reliving the experiences of his past life in his mind like a movie, and the tears on his face were dry and wet.

He turned to look at Dies, who smiled and nodded to Neil for him to sit down. Neil stood up and sat down in a chair next to Dies, who asked Neil what he wanted to say to him, to which Neil replied with a blank look in his eyes, "I'm just now really understanding what 'life is like a dream'." Dees smiled and said, "Neil, there's one thing you probably don't know right now. Shortly after the Dzorkin set out to create humans on Earth, they secretly infiltrated the Great Western Continent and abducted an individual Atlanteans. After that, the humans they concocted in the laboratory came from this Atlantean, so in a sense, the Atlanteans are the true ancestors of your generation of Homo sapiens. Neil was speechless, only to feel another throbbing pain in his heart.

Diese said: "So, I can understand that you are so sad. Neil said, "Dies, I would like to ask you, why is it that after my soul entered the body of Ctesilias, my original memories became so blurry that the memories of my past life could not be evoked?" ”

"I set it that way on purpose. I only keep five percent of your memories of your past life. You know, I'm pushing you into the life course of Ctesiras just to give you a complete experience of your trip to Atlantis, and I wouldn't be stupid enough to send you back in time to change history. ”

"So it's equivalent to saying that when you chose to put my soul into the body of Ctesirias, you already knew the fate of Atlantis in the near future."

"Of course it is. It was more than ten years after he became king that the Great Western Continent sank. Neil, your soul, is just a shell of Ctesirias, watching a long tragedy directed by time while you are already on the stage. Although you are also one of the actors, even the most important role, you can't change the final outcome. ”

"That's too cruel. Especially, they are my ancestors. Diese smiled: "In my opinion, it is not cruel at all. Because this is the history that really happened, and it is also the real world as it is. In the long river of time, those stories that have happened that have happened due to various coincidences and collisions, unless there is a very, very special reason, you and I have no right to change it. If you think about it, we are actually all small dust floating in the void universe, and we are fortunate enough to enter the advanced ontology to form intelligent life, and we can feel joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, which is already a very fortunate thing, and there is no need or right to do other luxuries. When you can perceive the world, no matter how brilliant or small your life has been, the final outcome is still to die and return to the original state; But even if you die, it will only be a physical death, and this wisp of your soul will remain in the universe forever. Despite Dies's explanation, Neil still couldn't let go, perhaps because the memories of his long life were too vivid, and they still occupied Neil's mind for a long time.

Neil muttered, "Having said that, as long as you keep even a little memory of your past life in my soul, I will always find a way to save Atlantis from its fate." Dees smiled bitterly, "Neil, you still haven't come out. It is important to know that everything is empty, and everything is determined. Let's imagine a scenario: If you were to see a strange-looking person in front of you, telling you that he was from the future and declaring that you would die in a year, what would you do? Neil thought hard for a moment and replied, "I probably want to verify his identity first." ”

"He did something to confirm that he was from the future."

"Then I'll ask him how he can avoid it."

"It can't be avoided, it's fate." Neil frowned and thought for a moment, "So...... Since this person thinks it is unavoidable, I have to ignore it and continue to be myself. ”

"That's exactly what I want to tell you." Diess laughed,

"You may not be able to comprehend what I am thinking, but from the point of view of us West Erelsians, the trajectory of life in the universe is as clear as the marks carved in stone by a knife and axe, and it cannot be erased; On the horizontal axis of time, this is true of the past and the future. When we look at everything in the world, we are like appreciating an infinitely extended scroll of ink and wash, unfolding to the right is a long history that can be traced, and unfolding to the left is a predictable and endless future, the rise and fall of all things, everything has been clearly outlined on the scroll by the omniscient and all-powerful Creator with a knife and pen. All you and I can do on the scroll is to enjoy the process of being in the painting; Isn't it in vain to be the same object in the painting, but to change the fate of other people in the torrent of fate? For example, if you are witnessing a flood that is about to break a levee, you have foreseen the fate of a nest of ants nesting in the dam, but you usually do not fight the flood for the sake of the ants, nor do you brave the heavy rain to run to the levee and dig with a shovel to move the nest to safety. This is because each level of life has its own fixed number, and each level of life also has its own concerns. Ants, you, and us, each have their own gods, and they generally do not show up easily, nor do they come to your aid when you are in danger, for that is the fate of each class of creatures. If God does these extraneous things, it will harm Himself in some way, because it will lead to chaos in the local world, and even affect God's own world. ”

"But, isn't it the same as helping an ant if you do this to me now?"

"Haha, Neil, you're smart. Actually, I didn't help you, we could meet on the ancient earth, this may be God's will, and I am just walking my own life trajectory. Neil, I rejoice when I see you, and I am afraid that this is the fate between you and me. Although I will not hold your hand and let you change history, I will actually be very happy to see you grow little by little and come out of the fog step by step. You think I'm watching one of your personal performances. Our journey is far from over, and it's never too late to make your own choices when you finally understand the full truth. Neil looked at Dis and nodded silently, although the other party's words still made him a little confused, he felt that he had come out of his decadent mood.

Dislang said, "Neil, let's go and see those lands that you desperately wanted to explore in your previous life, but you have never had the opportunity to explore." Dees drove the ship into the clouds again, and Neil stopped talking, sitting quietly thinking about his thoughts.

The spacecraft didn't fly long before it began to slow down again. Through the porthole, Neil could see from a distance a rugged mountain field that abruptly pierced through the clouds, not an isolated mountain, but a vast stretch of land that stretched across the horizon, with steep peaks in some areas, revealing blue-black rock ridges, and low and flat areas with thick white snow, which stretched and staggered with the undulations of the terrain, like white dragons lying in the sky.

The ship descended, and Neil saw through the clouds that valleys of different shades were looming among the mountains, the valleys were shrouded in mist, the water was murmuring, the snow and trees were intertwined, and there were even some artificial platforms or fences looming, as if they were heavenly.

Neil searched the dry intestines, and couldn't think of any other place on earth like this, unlike the Alps, the Rockies, the Andes, and so on.

This land, said to be a mountain range but the area is extraordinarily wide, said to be a plateau but towering into the clouds, as far as the eye can see, not only the majestic and magnificent snow-capped mountains, but also a piece of highlands with fantastic colors, the clumps of verdant are dotted among the snow and ice, making this place appear more and more majestic and vigorous, and the beautiful mountains and the white clouds in the sky complement each other, indescribably beautiful and magnificent, just like a fairyland.

Dees smiled and said to Neil, "It's a fun place, it's an adventure paradise, but unfortunately, after the flood, this place was changed beyond recognition." However, you, a post-epoch human, will surely be eye-opening at this time. Like Atlantis, there are a lot of legends that have been passed down here, especially among the Chinese in Asia. Do you know that the ancient Chinese called the state of undivided time of heaven and earth chaos, and this land was regarded by them as the place where heaven and earth first opened, so later, they called this place Kunlun. ”
