Chapter 1: Li Yuan
Now my situation is really weird to the extreme. After he walked out of the game room leading to the fifth floor, he did not go to the fifth floor, but entered the game room on the eighth floor, and was sent back to the former giant tree world......
Wait a minute, did the Stone Buddha just say that he wanted to find a way to destroy the Eternals?
What are you kidding? If it was so easy to find a way to destroy the Eternals, would the entire future human world be shattered in the first place? Will Li Yuan and Yao still come to this giant tree? Then, will they still meet them?
Lu Lie hung on the giant tree, like a gecko that had lost his ideals, quietly thinking about his future.
Just when time was about to freeze, Lu Lie suddenly felt a slight tremor on the tree wall. His senses had always been very sharp, and he looked down. About 200 meters below his feet, a young man of his own age was crawling upwards with a large basket on his back.
The young man also happened to raise his head and met Lu Lie's eyes.
"Li, Li, Li...... Li Yuan?"
When this familiar face appeared in front of Lu Lie, he was obviously stunned for three or four seconds before he whispered as if he couldn't believe it. Li Yuan, who was still carrying a large frame on his back at that time, raised his head hesitantly and glanced at Lu Lie: "Do you know me?"
What Lu Lie wanted to say in his heart was that he didn't know how many births and deaths he had experienced with you on the giant tree, and in the end, the only survivors of the five-person group were me and you.
But how can Lu Lie tell Li Yuan all this now? Judging from the other party's dress, the current point in time should be the first time he met the other party, and Li Yuan didn't know what would happen in the following days, and it was impossible for him to know himself......
Just when Lu Lie was thinking nonsense, Li Yuan below was also quietly looking at Lu Lie, his calm eyes were constantly changing subtle and imperceptible waves, and he didn't know what he was thinking about in his heart. Until the two faced each other like this, a long time passed, and the first person to speak was Li Yuan.
And what he said once again made Lu Lie refresh the scope of his cognition of this person:
"Failed...... Really?"
“?”
"Huh?"
Lu Lie can barely remember what he said to him when he and Li Yuan met for the first time seven years ago. It's about that he's a magic fruit hunter, and he's coming to the tree to collect these fruits, so why don't you go together? But now that the time node is back to seven years ago, even if the conversation between himself and him cannot be completely replicated, it is impossible to be so outrageous.
There is no beginning and no end on it, is there a failure, what is the failure? I clearly didn't say anything, okay Lu Lie thought to himself.
Lu Lie looked at Li Yuan quietly.
Li Yuan also looked at Lu Lie quietly.
Both sides are waiting for the other to speak first.
Suddenly, a strange and lightning-like thought crossed Lu Lie's mind, he could barely control his lips, and pointed at himself tremblingly: "You...... You...... Do you remember me?"
Waiting for him, it was Li Yuan who shook his head below.
"I've never seen you. ”
The glimmer of hope that had finally ignited in my heart was also shattered. Lu Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Also, at this point in time, how could he have seen himself, let alone remember himself. When I asked, I was looking too stupid. ”
But Li Yuan's next sentence was even more shocking: "But I know who you are." ”
Lu Lie looked at Li Yuan blankly.
He asked again, "Who am I?"
"You are Lu Lie, a street boy from Zhushi Town. You are not from this plane, and the journey of the giant tree is more than the first time for you. On the last trip to the Giant Tree, you must have walked side by side with me, facing the countless difficulties and horrors of the Giant Tree together...... Although I have never really seen you now, I know that you are a reliable companion. ”
Lu Lie wanted to say something, but Li Yuan shook his hand and motioned for him to listen to himself and continue, "Are you surprised that I have this ability to be an unpredictable prophet, don't you? But in fact, I really didn't know about your existence until I met you. And from your point of view, you've just gone through a journey with me to the Giant Tree, and for some special reason you've come back to this point in time. But if I were to tell you that I didn't know you existed at this point in time, how could you be sure that you really only made one trip to the Great Tree?"
Lu Lie was stunned: "Hmm...... Me?"
He cleared up his chaotic thoughts, "You mean, just as you don't know that you've been on a journey with me now, I may not know that I've been on a journey to the Giant Tree on other planes and planes?"
Li Yuan nodded: "You can think so. ”
"Wait...... My mind is a bit of a mess. ”
Lu Lie felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.
He had thought he was close to the truth of the Tower of Despair, but he realized he was wrong. The Tower of Despair was stranger than he had ever imagined.
"Then let's start from the beginning," Li Yuan said, "You who came from that time and space should know that I have a Shikigami called the Time Giant." ”
"Yes. ”
"What are the abilities of the Time Giants?"
"Yes......"
Lu Lie thought for a while, and before he could answer the other party's question, he looked at Li Yuan in front of him in a daze as if he had figured out something: "You let the time giants separate your existence in infinite time and space!? ”
Li Yuan nodded approvingly: "You even know the word "cause and effect warp the world." It seems that we have come a far, far away from the last trip to the giant tree......"
"Are you crazy......" Lu Lie looked at Li Yuan with some surprise, "Do you know that every time you return to the same place, you are no longer the original 'you'! No matter whether the memory is exactly the same, the personality, intelligence, body, and ability are all the same, but the replica is a replica after all! It is impossible for the real you to return to the original place, in this way, in fact, you have died in the giant tree world I don't know how many times." How can you ......"
Li Yuan just replied lightly: "So what." It's just this world that's crazy. How many people have endured endless torture because of this crazy world, and finally collapsed. My small sacrifice is nothing if it helps the world even a little. ”
