Volume 3 The Source of Collapse Chapter 29 Fallback
"What does it mean to create?"
Liu Dongchen has always been skeptical about this question, what is creation? How do you define it? He didn't know if it was philosophy or science, but who came up with the idea of creation. Isn't the so-called creation imitation?
"Time is creation, time is the answer, I have looked at a lot of the future and the past, the past is a foregone conclusion, but no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, it may be a small stone, it may also be a grain of sand, they all have the possibility of changing everything, this possibility lies in, how do you think of them, and what do you want to create."
The old man said the answer he was most proud of, no matter who the other party was, no matter how many times he asked, his answer would always be only this one.
"But how do I seize the time?"
The more Liu Dongchen asked, the more confused he became, he found the possibility, but he got the impossible.
"Time can't be grasped, it's in your hands, it's up to you to decide."
"What if I want to let it go?"
"Then you let go."
"What if you don't let it go?"
"Then you hold it tightly, there will always be an end to the road, I have prepared a small gift for you outside the road, you can open it when you are confused, how about it?"
The words are back to square one, and it is still the choice of going or not going.
"I've saved the world, what's the point?"
Liu Dongchen doesn't seem to want to go over at all, this time he has the right to choose, but which time is not? He's always choosing the wrong option.
Each time, he could feel himself being consumed by darkness.
"Meaning is the stupidest question, don't you think? Instead of discussing meaning, let's talk about the future. β
"Damn, aren't you fooling me?"
Liu Dongchen felt very bored, and the old man just fooled himself with all his strength, without any substantial help at all, and immediately dispelled his thoughts.
"Just ask if you want to go, if you don't go, just say it."
The old man was in no mood to continue to talk nonsense with Liu Dongchen, he said what he should say, and he did what he should do, if it was really not implicated, he wouldn't have considered it at all.
"It's hard to put down on my side."
"So?"
"I can think about it! But I hope you can give me something, I have no reason to refuse such a good thing. β
Liu Dongchen talked about the conditions, he talked about it for a long time, the outside world is outrageous, he is like an ant, he has to fight for his strength.
"What do you need? I may not be able to fulfill your wish, but I will do my best to fulfill your wish, and this is all, think about it, do you want the gift I prepared, or this wish? β
The old man will not make any concessions, the power to choose is handed over to Liu Dongchen, and the things that Liu Dongchen needs are not necessarily prepared by himself, so he can still accept it, one for one, he has no loss.
"Can I ask one last question before deciding? It really is the last one. β
Liu Dongchen patted his chest and promised that if someone pestered him like this, he would be annoyed, so he didn't plan to continue to make things difficult for the other party.
"Yes."
"Is there a real immortal weapon in this world?"
"Yes!"
"Good! Whether it's an immortal weapon or an artifact, give me a top weapon in the world's star sea, and it will always be bound to me! β
Liu Dongchen has discovered the rules of this world, and this is also the truth that he has only recently realized, sometimes a weapon in his hand is more important than any natural strength.
"Didn't you already get it? Let's change it. β
The old man didn't think about it, and answered Liu Dongchen directly, from the moment he opened his mouth, he knew what he wanted, a weapon is just a weapon after all, and what is powerful is itself.
"This...."
Liu Dongchen was speechless, he really didn't expect this answer, he thought that this Cloud Killing Bow was an ordinary weapon, but he didn't expect it to be his own problem, no wonder everyone was afraid when they saw it, it turned out that it was already the end.
"I think you still accept my little gift, not to say what you want, but it suits you very well, this is the result of my observation of you during this time."
After the old man finished speaking, a small box suspended in the air suddenly appeared on the edge of the magma pool, which seemed to be the one he had forgotten in that room last time, but he didn't expect it to be used by the old man again.
"What's in this?"
Liu Dongchen walked to the edge of the box and carefully caught the small white box, he was afraid that he would miss something by a mistake.
"A chance, a chance to make your dreams come true, but you can't open it now, and after completing your mission, you will get it!"
"Dreams? Fly... Flying Immortals!? β
Liu Dongchen looked at the flame in surprise, speaking of dreams, he seems to have only one recently, but can this kind of thing really be given to him?
"It seems that you are very sensitive, that's right, although this is illegal, but I still gave it to you, not all worlds in the upper level are immortal gods, the world you go to is a semi-magic world, because it is a dual construction of technology and magic, so both sides have not reached the extreme, I can't do it directly, but you can give up this opportunity and let me do it, but you have to remember, there is only one opportunity, and it is a rebellious thing to climb the fairy road, it depends on your choice!"
The old man directly pointed to the topic, he said very clearly, this time must be very difficult, this is also a test of the road to the immortal, survived, naturally can soar into the sky, give up, may never have a chance again, ascending the immortal is a very difficult thing, even if it is placed in the upper layer, it is the same, because these are two different species, need to change from one species to another, this is a miracle change, put on all races, this is a thing beyond common sense.
"Time in the world on my side...."
Liu Dongchen doesn't know if he will continue to move forward here after he passes, if he comes back in ten or twenty years, won't all this be in vain?
"You should be the sensibility of the powerful, right? The power I gave you is common to the person of the Yellow Spring, you can perceive him, he can also perceive you, when he disappears, your power will also be erased, but don't worry, whether you are a mortal or a strong person, ascending to the immortal is a matter of one step, relying on understanding, and has nothing to do with your strength. β
"Then at least I have to save my life, can I exercise my original strength?"
Liu Dongchen's head buzzed, this is too tricky, how can he live? If his original strength had remained in one line, he would have been no different from a dead man.
"The power of power can be contracted at will, this is also to prevent you from becoming dependent, I suggest that you better improve yourself, excessive dependence will only backfire."
The old man is also the last reminder, Liu Dongchen didn't ask him, and now he told him this, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept the gap and be psychologically unbalanced.
"Aren't you a pit man? Why didn't you say it earlier? β
Liu Dongchen felt that he was about to go crazy for a moment, he didn't know that there was such a thing, he had already known that he would go to find resources to improve himself first.
"No matter what kind of cultivation you are, you need to self-circulate, and you can only blame yourself for not having the corresponding awareness, and there is nothing wrong with the power itself, what is wrong is the way you use it."
"I'm not going! I'll give you these back, I don't think I have any way to go now, but this doesn't prevent me from cultivating on my own, and it's better for me to rely on myself. β
Liu Dongchen put the ring and the small box next to the magma pool, and if he said it, he would like to go back to the original point and start again, now may be his only chance to regret it, he has not made a decision yet, it is not a broken contract.
"Are you sure you don't carry anything?"
The old man was not angry, he respected the other party's decision, Liu Dongchen is undoubtedly losing everything by doing this now, and everything has to start again.
"Do I still have a chance to change?"
"If you give up everything, time will go back to before we came into contact, and everything that has been changed by power will develop according to the original time again, including your friends, and all your actions when you have power, will be zero, and power will bring you hope and despair."
"And the memories we know are the same?"
"Yes, you will lose this memory, and I will not be looking for you, and everything will be nothing."
"So you can go back in time?"
Liu Dongchen changed his words, he felt a different smell, this may be the only way for him to achieve his goal, he did this for the sake of clichΓ©s, just now, what was hidden in the depths of his memory was revealed by his recent headache, and he had to dig out the truth.
"Yes, I can rebel against the broken world before it was broken, what, do you want to choose the first path?"
The old man was a little surprised, this kid wouldn't regret giving up everything, right? However, it was still timely, and it was better for him to go back and prove the truth than to deal with the Yellow Springs travelers.
"No, I want to go back to the year when I was fifteen years old in my last life, I am a more nostalgic person, I made a decision at that time, I don't want to go back, I just want to seek the memory of that year, if you can help me, I can bear everything, I mainly don't want to waste your kindness for such a little thing."
Liu Dongchen glanced at the small white box, his intention was obvious, he wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf, and he wanted it all.
"Hehe, you're really insatiable, it turns out that I misunderstood you, so I'll just say who would let such a good opportunity not to be a lone hero? I can still promise you this little thing, if you want to go back to that time and start over, don't even think about it, it's impossible! It doesn't make sense for you to do this, it will still happen, but you just need to remember that I can reluctantly promise you, close your eyes, and the next year is your journey. β
"Well, thank you!"
Liu Dongchen nodded, immediately closed his eyes, and the world in front of him suddenly brightened, and the time went back to January 1 twenty years ago, when he was fifteen years old.
