Chapter 1223: Outside the Cage
According to Captain Roger's map, there are a total of 13 islands to pass through to reach the final "goal", and their limit distance is only the fifth island.
From this, it can be inferred that no matter how powerful he gathers forces, he will not be able to cross the ocean of thousands of miles. Grabbing
......
This is not a question of a small number of people, but a qualitative gap.
Just as hundreds of millions of ants could never stop the elephant's advance, Qin Shi Huang's hundreds of thousands of troops could not compete with a well-trained, heavily armed army artillery and armored mixed brigade.
It's useless, the world is already in full view of him, and no matter how many times he repeats it, he can't think of a way to cross the sea.
He is still far from seeing the end, behind the 5th island, there are 6th, 7th, 8th.
If you put aside all the established elements, there is only one way for him to come up with a perfect solution at this time.
That is, without relying on any companions, he can successfully cross the ocean of thousands of miles, break through the siege of countless deep-sea species, and reach the final 14th island.
Of course, that's not possible.
Because of the disappearance of cruise ships decades ago, the world's ability to set foot in the ocean is already very weak, and even if all the world's troops are gathered, it is a drop in the bucket if they gather all the forces of the world.
Due to the existence of the source stone, the technology of this world is distorted, and it seems to be highly developed, but in fact, it has no background at all.
That's right, he has seen through the ending, and no matter how many times he repeats it, this ending cannot be changed.
If he had to find the most correct path in relative terms, it would undoubtedly be his own death, and if he died, the endless cycle would stop.
However, it is difficult for him to die because of the closure of the world line and the reset of his memories, and he will not die at all until he kills everyone.
It's ridiculous, a time-traveler from another world, whose greatest wish now is to die by himself, but he can't.
Of course, if he dies, although this world will break the 3 years of infinite reincarnation, the end of destruction will still not be changed.
The gods of the deep sea will be resurrected in a few years, and at that time, infected people around the world will fall into the "resonance of the gods".
The only difference is that compared to the ending of the 3-year cycle, all the people he cares about will live a few more years except himself, and that's it.
.....
.....
Climbing into the house of the River Styx, Xia Feng walked through the living room, climbed the stairs, and finally pushed open the door at the end of the second floor.
There was no obvious expression on his fleshy cheeks, and his eyes were hollow, as if instinctively crawling towards the Styx, who was sitting in his chair.
Then, with all your strength, raise your hand.
He wants to "kill" the River Styx again, and as long as he absorbs the power, the world will reset again.
He didn't know the point of doing that, but that was the only thing he could do at the moment.
The bloodstained palm trembled into the air, and gradually approached Styx's chest, and just before it could touch, Styx actually stood up from his chair.
"Xia Feng, it seems that you seem to remember a lot of things, why, do you want to reset everything again?"
Xia Feng vaguely remembered that in the reincarnation of I don't know how many times, Styx seemed to have said that he, like himself, would only see some incomplete dreams.
His lips moved slightly, and his voice trembled.
"No..... Otherwise, I'm still ..... Is there any other option? ”
Styx station straight.
"Maybe there is, maybe not."
.....
It's changed, as if something has changed.
In countless reincarnations, Styx never seemed to say such a thing.
However, after experiencing a desperate experience that ordinary people can't imagine, he no longer wants to be tempted by this ethereal hope.
Xia Feng raised his arms again.
"Don't.... Stop talking nonsense, aren't you dying, let me devour you, reset, reset, reset ......"
Styx narrowed his blue eyes.
"Who told you that I was dying?"
It wasn't until this moment that Xia Feng finally realized something.
At this time, the River Styx, who was standing in front of him, did not have a trace of weakness, his pupils were deep, and his waist was straight, which was in stark contrast to his embarrassed state.
"You ......."
"Xia Feng, if you devour me and choose to reset all this again, then the result will still be the same, and in 3 years, you will come back here and say the same thing to me."
"I ......."
"It's desperate, but that's the truth, the established trajectory is in the eternal cage, and it can never be tampered with, and the final closure will still lead to the result of despair."
Holding out his hand towards the summer breeze, Styx's voice was low.
"Stand up and don't devour me, if you don't want to waste your time."
Holding Styx's hand blankly, he didn't activate the power of the black and white twins, and was brought up by the power, and Xia Feng stood up from the ground.
The chaotic thinking ability that was caused by the beating gradually returned, Xia Feng looked at the blue pupils close to the River Styx, and asked in a trembling voice.
"In that case, then why do you say ......"
"Say maybe." Chasing after literature
"Yes!"
.....
In the room, the clock on the table was "ticking and ticking", but other than that, there was nothing.
In the dead silence, the fluttering sound of the River Styx was heard.
"The cage of eternity cannot be opened, but if there is a force from outside the cage injected into it, the result may be a little different."
Xia Feng's mouth was distracted.
"Out of the cage?"
"Perhaps."
"How is this possible, my existence starts from 1093, I can't escape at all, no matter how many times I reset, I will wake up in Chernobog in 1093, it's useless, I tried......"
"Indeed."
Styx turned and paced to the window.
"This is the limit of the power of Styx, which triggers a time regression that cannot go beyond the starting point of the Inheritor's existence."
"How do you ...... that?"
"But what if the person who unleashed this power is not you, or rather, it is not Xia Feng who exists here."
Hearing Styx's words, Xia Feng was stunned.
Soon, he seemed to understand what Styx was trying to say.
Grabbing. "You mean it's up to you to start it? It's up to you to devour me? ”
Hearing his words, Styx shook his head with a wry smile.
"No, I can't do it, my body can't withstand two different ancient stones, and in the moment of reversal and explosion, my soul will dissipate, from ancient times to the present, only you can."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xia Feng felt as if Styx was talking a bunch of nonsense.
As long as the time rewind is activated by him, he will not be able to escape the restrictions of 1093, and if he wants to escape, he can only be activated by someone who is not "Summer Wind".
However, Styx himself can't do it, and in this world, no one but him can do it.
???
.....
Seeing Xia Feng's appearance in the ultimate confusion, Styx stopped going around in circles and finally said this subversive "principle".
"Xia Feng, if you really want to change the world, you need to give up more."
After countless times of despair, Xia Feng certainly did not resist this condition.
"Of course you can, as long as I can change the world and save everyone, I can give up anything, even my life!"
Styx shook his head.
"No, you need to give up things that are far more important than life."
"That's ..... What? ”
Styx's deep eyes watched the summer breeze silently.
"What you need to let go of is all the traces of existence, including the bonds you have established with everyone, not only the death of life, but also the very concept itself."
......
In the gloomy room, Styx tells him another story.
The world may be able to change, provided that the "factor" that dominates this infinite cycle disappears, i.e., himself.
However, if he simply disappears, the world will eventually be destroyed, and everything will be reduced to nothing.
In other words, he can neither exist nor disappear, he needs to separate himself from this world, so that his self, which exists in different time periods, becomes two separate existences.
A "self" has to set foot on the 1093-1096 that has been repeated countless times again, and another "self" that has been stripped out has to go to a more distant past.
In this way, he can break out of the three-year cage and look for the real "key" in the long river of history.
And the price is that he can't go back to this era.
Because, at the same point in time, two identical people cannot exist at the same time, which is an unsolvable "time paradox".
......
Inside a gloomy room.
The deep voice of Styx constructed an absurd and outrageous unfolding for him, and it sounded so unrealistic.
Even Styx himself wasn't sure if it would succeed.
Xia Feng muttered distractedly.
"How can a person separate himself into two, I can't understand."
"Yes, every soul is the only one in the universe, and this really cannot be done, however, there is one exception."
"What?"
"That is, when this soul is fully integrated with the black and white twin."
"Why?"
"Because, black and white are two independent existences that are fused together, and since they can be fused, they must also be separated."
Standing in front of the window, Styx pulled back the heavy curtains.
"Whoa!"
As the curtains slid down, the dazzling sunlight shone into the room from the outside.
At some point, the sky outside, which had been overcast for months, bloomed with sunlight.
The golden light shone on Xia Feng's face, as if to dispel all the despair shrouded in his heart, and his only left eye gradually flowed with a long-lost look.
.....
Turning around, Styx stood in front of Xia Feng, grabbed Xia Feng's hand with his own hand, and imprinted it on his chest.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, it's up to you how to choose, but if it's my expectation, I don't want you to appear in front of me in embarrassment after 3 years."
"Styx ....."
Grabbing Xia Feng's handprint on his chest, Styx smiled.
巘戅九饼Chinese 9BZ戅. "Fire Feather Summer Breeze, come on, in the long river of time outside the cage, we will meet again, definitely, I will wait for you."
Okay, it's decided.
Looking at Styx's hopeful gaze for the first time, Xia Feng nodded heavily.
"Yes."
.....
A burst of black mist erupted from within his body, engulfing the River Styx in front of him.
When he withdrew his palm, he was the only one left in the room, and in the palm of his hand, a silver coin was left.
