Time can be crossed, fate cannot be changed, and the established cause and effect are difficult to reverse......

Li Xiaoyao returned to ten years ago through 'Returning to the Sleepwalking Immortal', thinking that he had changed everything so he would not know Zhao Ling'er who grew up again. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info came back, he was disappointed that he couldn't see Zhao Ling'er, but he didn't expect that nothing had changed after all, thinking that he had sent Zhao Ling'er away from Nanzhao, but he returned to the back of Nanzhao. So, it's fate.

Hermione and Harry travel back in time through a time turner to save the Hippogriff, who has theoretically been decapitated, only to inadvertently discover that they are not changing history, but preserving it. And this is also fate.

The time dimension is a closed loop, and the facts that have already happened cannot be changed. You can go back in time and influence what follows, but you can't change what has happened or been experienced. Because the world you live in and the things you experience are already the result of being influenced by your future you. Even Pei Chen can only stop at the iron law of 'can't change the past', and once it involves the history that he has correctly recognized, he can't change it......

Because the 'now' He exists, is able to stand here, to be able to think about such things, because of these 'past' existence!

"You can't change the past...... But is it possible to become the eternal guardian of the Heavenly Demon Chiyou or even the Gate of the Silver Key? ”

Pei Chen stood in the void for a long time, and let out a long sigh, a pair of indifferent eyes were full of all kinds of cause and effect, but there was still a light that was extremely rational because of the emptiness. In the final analysis, He still only has a perfect intellect and an absolute sense of self, but the emotional part has been sustened.

Therefore, 'he' is not 'he', he is very calm, absolutely sane.

There is no feeling, no love, no anger, no sadness, the breath is nothing but a swinging clock.

Nothing can arouse your interest anymore, as if everything is far, far away from you, and nothing matters. As for the so-called sadness, anger, fear, agitation...... It's more like a memory from the distant past, vague. It was a terrible feeling, it was a wonderful feeling, and he was used to it.

"Only the true divine doctrine can truly reverse time and subvert fate, dabble in time travel that has become a paradox, and negate the past that has already occurred by reversing established cause and effect...... In this way, the real miracle that cannot be touched by manpower, no matter how much time and technology is spent, can not touch a trace of possibility. ”

Whispering like this, he didn't look back at the past or look into the future, even though in a sense it was his future, the next key he was about to choose.

It's just that one will go back to the timeline of the past that he has experienced, and reopen a new timeline; One will continue to flow forward, rising rapidly among the tributaries of the future, and eventually becoming a real locked future from one of infinite possibilities.

"If it is the King of the Endless Void who has actually existed in the past, then at most it can only be suppressed and killed, and it is impossible to be easily replaced by someone who goes back to the past...... Unless, in the first place, He was the result of the influence of people who had returned to the past......"

Moreover, even if it was Gou Chen, he should not be able to easily transform Yog Sothos from a mythical concept of reality to a future node on the way back to 'himself', if he could casually concoct an eight-star peak all-dimensional space-time creature as material, he would have reached the nine-star level a long time ago......

"So, Eternal Guardian of the Silver Key Gate, is that supposed to be a myth of my own making?"

In this way, things are very clear and straightforward -

Heavenly Demon Chi You is one of the ultimate forms that finally appeared after obeying Gou Chen's arrangement, unless he has never practiced the exercises in the half of the Transcendent Sutra of "Gou Chen Heavenly Book", otherwise he will inevitably come to this point.

However, it can be said that Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen has set a result for his return, but the process is not something he can control, because in addition to the Heavenly Demon Chi You, Pei Chen can now choose another path to the upper realm. The fate that has been decided has changed, and there is another path to the unknown place to return home.

The current situation seemed to be clear, but Pei Chen did not make a choice immediately. If there was only one path in front of Him, he would naturally not be entangled, but there are two paths......

If he chooses to extend his subjective consciousness to the past history and throw it into the world of fairy swords, he will probably dream back to Pangu directly, and enter the ancient universe where there are no six realms but only three realms, and the three emperors are walking in the world at the same time.

The next thing will also be logical, he is estimated to lose the power increase of this world's 'seat', and fall to the realm level of the initial stage of the seven-star, but then at the same time, he will get rid of the shackles of this world, and the possibility of leading to the eight-star will reappear in front of him, he just needs to move forward step by step......

When the historical self in the past enters the Fengshen Mausoleum, the concept of Ouroboros, which symbolizes the consummation of cause and effect, will emerge, and then it will be the time for him to be promoted to eight stars.

However, if you choose the other side -

Pei Chen couldn't help but look at the illusory flowing river of time again, observing the possibilities of the future, the countless tributaries continued to grow or disappear, but one of them was shrouded by the multi-dimensional that he unfolded with himself at the same time, and it was already locked from far away time and space......

In this way, He made multiple observations from seven dimensions and seven planes at the same time, countless future causes and effects were denied in His cognition, and countless probabilities and possibilities were rapidly changing and collapsing and the future that emerged was distorted by His observations.

Throughout, only the path of possibility to the upper realms has never spread or changed, locked in by His observations. With just one thought, Pei Chen, who has made up his mind, can directly deny all other possibilities in an instant, run wildly in the passage of time, and finally unstoppably rush directly into the locked future, so as to find the way to the upper realm.

- Just like a glass falling to the ground, when the possibility of 'breaking' is erased, then the result can only be 'not broken'. In the same way, as long as you lock in the future you need and erase the future you deny, then the next development will only have the results you want.

The future tributary of the river of time faintly appeared countless gathered billions of orbs of light, as if calling for his subjective consciousness to extend and merge with it.

"All things in life, all things are one......"

For the Cthulhu Mythos, Pei Chen now has a more intuitive understanding. Just like the bottomless abyss in the DND system, the otherworldly universe occupied by the Cthulhu Mythos is a collection of countless planes, which belongs to the bottomless abyss part of the entire multiverse, just like the shadow side of the entire infinite world in the past, present and future, through infinite layers and countless changes, reflecting all the ugliness, evil, and chaos of the collection.

But going back to the long river of history, the years of existence are no longer available.

What should have been just a collection of all the ugliness, evil, and chaos that was supposed to be pure was a myriad of levels that spiraled downward, boiled down to the side of the brutal extreme multiverse. But it is not known when out of it came out of the terrifying, great power of ancient beings, who were aimless, indifferent, and unfamiliar with the embodiment of the corrective power that words could not express.

On the surface, it may seem like the root of all madness, terror, and evil, but in fact it has long since transcended the simple dualism of good and evil, and perhaps it is possible to call that world a sublime abyss.

The three pillars of the Genshin Impact in the Cthulhu Mythos are theoretically the existence of power and power that separates the side of this multiverse, and the head of the demon god, Azathoth, is a nine-star source of chaos that symbolizes the original chaos and the ultimate madness, but unfortunately this one is an impersonal 'Tao', not a personified 'god'.

- He would only be on the other side of the universe beyond time and space, in the palace of the center of endless chaos, just following his instinctive madness to beat the invisible giant drum, blowing the flute that would only produce a disgusting, monotonous sound, accompanied by the crazy howls of the other gods who were equally stupid and blind, and constantly whispering blasphemous and impure words.

"If you choose the Heavenly Demon Chiyou, it will be the path that has been going on all along, but it will only reach the level of the early stage of the eighth star. The advantage is that it is consistent, and it can also be in charge of the Chaos Clock, and it should be able to continue to confuse the heavens and avoid the eyes of those multiverse-level powers, and the disadvantage is that it is very likely to get closer and closer to the arrangement of the Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen......"

"If you choose Yog Bubble, once you succeed, you will probably directly reach the peak of the eight-star level, infinitely close to omniscience, and become one with all time and space - to put it simply, it becomes the unity of infinite time and space in the multiverse, and the past, present, and future are just a little bit to yourself...... The downside is that if you fail, you'll probably go crazy, right?! ”

The source of chaos in the infinite world, even if it only cuts off a third of the share, is not something that a seven-star or even eight-star existence can easily bear. Even the so-called 'evil of this world' is nothing more than a curse for billions of people on a planet, and if you face the source of chaos, one million more golden flashes will be assimilated into an indescribable distorted existence in an instant.

In this case, isn't the choice already there?

"I don't want to...... Back to that place! I definitely don't want to fall into that again!! ”

In the void, Pei Chen's main consciousness had been looking at the direction of the future tributary in a daze, and he who should have been very indifferent suddenly slowly showed a resolute smile, which was undoubtedly resolute. At this moment, his expression was no longer empty, and his eyes were no longer so cold that he seemed to have no emotion at all, but showed a crazy and expectant expression from the bottom of his heart.

There is no particular reason, just that I don't want to die. I don't want my emotions to return to nothingness, I don't want my personality to be destroyed, I don't want to disappear like this, leaving only an 'anomaly' with my own body and memory. He does not want to be assimilated into nothingness like this, but to embrace and release the Absolute Self with his true will.

With this thought, he began to feel that something in his reason was rapidly reviting, and he looked forward to what was going to happen next—

Even if it is to make one's soul completely crazy and turn into indescribable madness, it is much better than this emptiness of nothingness!!

If fate has decided that you must return to the ultimate concept called 'Gou Chen', then at this moment, your incomparably clear thinking, consciousness and even soul are telling yourself this:

Since it's such a worthless thing, let's smash it!

……

……

So, after all kinds of preparations-

Pei Chen's infinite spiritual power began to extend in the future direction of the time dimension, as if turning into light, quickly approaching the center of a gray, indescribable chaotic vortex, and as if approaching an elusive hazy dream.

There are countless chaotic and manic wavelengths appearing in the void, it seems to be countless chaotic screams, and his spiritual power is being polluted by some law-level chaos and disorder, turning into a mad will.

Darkness comes from fear, and fear feeds despair......

Slowly, slowly, almost endless mania, almost endless malice and madness, had darkened his god-like spiritual power little by little, and forced his mind to a desperate situation.

There seem to be countless disturbances and chaos in time and space, countless indescribable paradoxes, contradictions and abnormalities, filled with the more bizarre dreams that are watched at the end of the mental power, completely transcending the narrow, rigid and objective world composed of limited causal connections and three-dimensional logic......

"That's ...... It's not enough!! ”

Pei Chen struggled to think in the chaos, and finally showed a weird smile, and a weird sound came out of his throat, until it finally turned into a hoarse laugh.

In the time when the imaginary number shook the time and space, he stiffened an arm, and a small silver key appeared in his hand, this is a message that he had just broken through the seven-star forbidden realm, and then found from the Akaxia record of Naiazi, at first he only thought that it was the space-time information transmitted by Yog Sothoth, but now......

After the right combination and sequencing, it is a silver key that turns a piece of information back into a real entity. It is inscribed with a vine-like pattern, and the mysterious aura is terrifying. This is the source of chaos that can travel through infinite worlds and even directly open the sublime abyss, and face the core of primordial chaos, the silver key of Azathoth.

When He made his decision, the cause and effect took shape in the past, and then the message He kept turned directly into the Silver Key. And if His choice had been a different path, then after the result had collapsed, that message would still be just a message, and Yog Sothos would have existed since eternal, but not Him.

The so-called superdimensional multiverse, the so-called world of infinite possibilities, is such a form that has never really been determined!

Under the intertwining of probability, rules, causality, and the dimensions of time, there are a large number of 'variables' that God cannot determine.

- Ancient things that have existed for an unknown amount of time have existed for an eternity, and the opportunity for its establishment will probably not appear until tens of millions, hundreds of millions of years, or even several epochs later. The birth or destruction of one world is likely to be caused by a causal change in another world far away from the end of time and space.

Because this is an infinite multiverse that truly embraces all things, it ......

All contradictory things can exist at the same time, and the same is true of paradoxes.

The ritual around the silver key, from the first posture and syllable, the surrounding atmosphere began to undergo a strange and even breathtaking mutation, and the imaginary number of shaking time and space constructed by the technique could not resist the erosion of chaos-

A door had been opened, terrifyingly and dangerously leading Pei Chen's perception to the ultimate void beyond all planets, beyond all universes, and beyond all matter. In the center of chaos that transcends time and space, the figure of the blind and stupid 'worst god' who has no intellect and soul emerges, and it is not just a projection, but a spiritual tentacle that directly confronts the source core of the primordial chaos.

“……！！” Pei Chen's fingers trembled, his eyes suddenly became hollow, and the wavelength of his soul was completely dyed into a huge black torrent by the chaos of chaos and the madness of the primordial chaos in an instant, but the mad and broken soul was transforming into a nameless thing.

From this moment on, time is meaningless......

Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's billions of years.

In the dark chaos of forgetting everything, it floats silently and like a piece of garbage, and everything in consciousness seems to be withering......

It's not that we've gone crazy, it's not that we've lost ourselves, and it's not that we've gotten rid of the erosion of indescribable chaos. But after the chaos has reached the extreme, madness no longer eats away at reason, but gets used to it...... Extreme madness and chaos, after reaching the end, is the calmness of the extreme. It's not a return to the emptiness and absolute sanity of the past, no feelings, no love, no anger, no sadness, breathing is just a swinging clock.

It's a kind of calmness called madness, still full of chaos and brutality.

Memories became a series of vague, picture-like visions, no edges and contours lost in the tumbling chaos, but he knew that they were mere memories. However, he felt that these things could not be constructed by his own consciousness, but rather seemed like some kind of larger reality, an ineffable reality that transcended time and space.

Did you forget something?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Nothing mattered, he only knew that he wanted to cross the barrier and enter the free realm of his dreams, and the abyss where all dimensions dissolved into absolute existence.

Time is fleeting, and the emptiness of knowing nothing is like an unfathomable abyss between the stars. Pei Chen's subjective consciousness transcends space and time, and blends into the extension of the form woven in the hidden abyss. In that outreach that transcends all dimensions, He suddenly perceives, or in some incredible way, realizes an infinite number of selves.

'Self' appeared in different places at the same time, in a chaos intertwined by countless images, there were countless 'self' existence, just as the infinite number and the vast and terrifying diversity, there were countless 'self' distributed in countless time and space-

These planes may belong to every period of familiar history, or they may not belong to, whether known or merely doubtful; Even those distant times beyond all knowledge, skepticism, and even credibility.

'Self' has a variety of forms, both human and non-human, vertebrate and non-invertebrate, conscious and mindless, animal and plant.

……

It was as if something was whizzing past him at great speed, and billions of light dissolved and spread, enveloping him. I was so small before, but now I am going to a world that is infinitely wide and beyond everything.

Countless planets, countless galaxies, countless galaxies, and even countless universes......

Against the backdrop of a multifaceted space-time continuum, the seeds of eternal life float from one world to another, from one universe to another, yet all that is born is equal to Himself. Pei Chen subconsciously pondered this state of aggregation, blankly trying to distinguish which ones were original and which ones were added later.

He is becoming a thing of infinite existence and self, all in 'it', and 'it' in all of it—not just in a space-time continuum, but in connection with the ultimate source that animates everything in the boundless realm of all existence—and in the end, it is an absolute that has no limits and transcends all whims, mathematical logic, and so on.

The proof of His existence in this world will be fading from all time and space, along with the memory......

His existence is being transformed into a higher realm, and is about to become a mere concept......

His knowledge of the self is nearing total annihilation, and the horror of the terrible notion of unity and infinity is the destruction of the self and individuality, because in such a form of existence, individual existence has completely lost its meaning, and dissipating into nothingness seems to be nothing more than a peaceful and peaceful oblivion......

In an instant, Pei Chen's remaining consciousness was swept into the grasp of extreme fear, and there had never been any horror compared to this time.

No death, no destruction, no mental or physical suffering, is enough to evoke this despair of the loss of self. To be aware of existence, but to know that you are no longer a definite being that can be distinguished from anything else—to know that you no longer have a self—is the most indescribable pain and fear.

I don't want to die.

A voice flashed through his consciousness that had begun to blur, and suddenly he remembered his original purpose, and the onslaught of the unending rage surged out of his mind like a flood from his mind that was not restricted or constrained in any way, and then reconciled this extremely small part of himself with the multiplicity and variety of existence.

A new equilibrium was established.

And stabilized, and has been maintained.

It seemed as if countless hours had passed, and finally his consciousness was gradually completely engulfed by the pure white light.

……

……

I don't know how long it took.

It seems that after sleeping for thousands of years, he finally woke up, and 'Pei Chen' finally opened his 'eyes' again, which seemed to open up countless new horizons. It is as if all time and space, all universes, infinite dimensions, infinite dimensions, and everything are extremely one-sided afterimages of Him at this moment.

However, the scene that came to his eyes was first of all a myriad of worlds that were crumbling and destroying, the dark and dead universe shattered like a mirror, and the stars were falling, extinguished, and swallowed up by the wave of vanishing nothingness, playing out everywhere he saw it. This is like the hell of the Red Lotus, and it seems to herald the destruction of the entire multiverse.

"Welcome back to this time period...... At the beginning of the opening of the second calendar. ”

And a figure of a 'person' who is not unfamiliar, but definitely not familiar, but makes himself feel unforgettable, quietly staring at the devastation that erodes the multiverse, squinting his eyes slightly, turning back to himself and saying so softly.

"Again, after the end of the first era of the Chaos Flood......"
