Chapter 102: The Unintentional Endgame
These four sets of dragon general armor, Lin Lan is still very satisfied in his heart.
Therefore, the eyes he looked at this new apprentice were also a lot gentler.
"That's right."
Lin Lan's heart moved, and he immediately launched the Heaven Stealing Divine Power and locked King Lin.
The next moment, a familiar sense of trance surged, and then the world in front of him suddenly turned gray, and everything seemed to stand still at this moment, falling into absolute dead silence.
At the same time, a wide path of light lit up at the feet of him and King Lin, and the two paths of light stretched from the endless distance behind them to the feet of the two of them, and then converged at one point.
Then, from this point of convergence, countless forks in the road were sent out to the front of fate.
Lin Lan's body of thought broke away from his body, walked to King Lin's side, and looked along the countless forks in the road under the feet of King Lin.
"First cause of death......
Lin Lan found the widest light fork in the road, which was the 'first cause of death'.
He followed the first cause of death and looked to the end.
There is no end in sight.
It seems that on the path of fate of the first cause of death, King Lin died later than him.
The endgame of the future that he saw was what he saw with his own eyes, and naturally he could only see people who died earlier than himself.
"Let's clean it up, then."
Lin Lan did not hesitate, and immediately turned his mind into a knife and began to clean up those short and narrow light forks, which were the 'cause of death' of early death.
He found that there were a few causes of death that didn't seem to be very narrow, but they could still be easily cut off, and he didn't know much about the principle, so he planned to ask Sikong Wuxin later.
In a short time, all the causes of death of King Lin's short-lived future were all cut off by him.
At the very least, King Lin will outlive him.
"Almost, that's all I have to do here." Lin Lan glanced at it and exited the state of stealing the sky.
Immediately, the dead and gray world around him immediately became vivid and colorful again, and time flowed again.
……
After the king had finished worshipping his teacher, he left.
After Lin Lan and Fan Qingyao went back, they took out the short stick that Sikong Wuxin gave him and knocked on a door three times.
"Come in." An unintentional voice came from inside the door.
Immediately after, the door opened.
Inside the door is the quiet room on the third floor of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, Sikong Wuxin is sitting quietly behind the table and drinking tea, and next to him is sitting the beautiful Kun Dao 'Qi Rushui'.
"I'll go in and I'll be back in a minute."
Lin Lan turned his head to glance at Fan Qingyao, and immediately controlled the sedan chariot to fly into it, and the door behind him also closed.
After entering the quiet room, Lin Lan fell opposite Sikong Wuxin.
"Only now are you looking for me?"
Sikong Wuxin glanced up at Lin Lan, and then said, "Xiao Qi, you go out first, I'll talk to Lin Lan alone." ”
"Yes, Pavilion Master." Qi Rushui nodded, didn't say anything, glanced at Lin Lan and left the quiet room.
After Qi Rushui closed the door of the quiet room, Lin Lan asked casually, "Why don't you let her stay?" I thought you trusted her. ”
"Trust doesn't mean you can know everything."
Sikong Wuxin's expression was flat, he looked at Lin Lan again, and said: "I didn't expect that Ling's innate supernatural powers of the Heaven Thief would transform to the level of real supernatural powers so quickly, and he also cleaned up the short-lived future for Kongchen, Fanqingyao, Tang Bangqiu, and Yao Yuanting, you are very kind." ”
"You know so fast." Lin Lan shook his head slightly.
He has cleaned up those short-lived futures for Kongchen and Yao Yuanting, and naturally he will not miss Fan Qingyao and Tang Bangqiu.
However, in front of this Sikong Wuxin, he always felt as if he had no secrets, except for things outside the sky, there was also the Heaven Thief Method, Sikong Wuxin almost counted everything.
"I've been following you, and there are so many fewer people I've come into contact with with the future possibilities, how can I not be aware of it?"
Sikong glanced at him unintentionally, and then said, "You came to see me to understand the future, right?" ”
Lin Lan nodded slightly, and said: "I have tried it a few times, and I probably know the situation of this innate supernatural power, compared to my past prediction of the endgame, now I can spy on the cause of death in the future, but it will not fix the future, can you understand what I mean?" ”
"Go on." Sikong said calmly.
Lin Lan continued: "In addition, there is one more ability to cut the future, or the cause of death, but the future that is too likely to be cut by me, I can't cut it either, this should be related to my ability to steal the sky." ”
Sikong Wuxin pondered for a long time and asked, "You just said that you can spy on the cause of death in the future now, but you won't fix the future?" ”
"Yes, that's right." Lin Lan nodded.
"When you spy on the endgame of the future, you should be in a state of detachment from heaven and earth, right?" Sikong asked inadvertently.
"Out of heaven and earth?"
Lin Lan recalled for a moment and said: "I don't know if it's out of heaven and earth, but when I launch the Heaven Stealing Divine Power, I will indeed enter a special state, time stands still, everything becomes dead and silent, and my mind can only act when it turns into my body." ”
"That's it." Sikong Wuxin nodded slightly, and said: "I have read the theory about time and space left by Tang Tianyuan, the Sky Thief steals the Heavenly Machine, it looks like he is being targeted by Heaven and Earth, but in fact this is not a target, but because the Sky Thief himself has observed the future, causing the future of countless possibilities to collapse into one, so everything will develop towards this result." ”
He said softly: "But now that you have observed the future causes of death of others in advance, it is still not a foregone conclusion, which means that when you observe, you are already in a state of separation from heaven and earth, just like ...... Something extraterrestrial. ”
"Something out of the sky?" Lin Lan was slightly stunned.
"Why can something outside the sky change the verdict?" Sikong Wuxin said: "Because the things outside the sky do not belong to heaven and earth, if your future is condensed into a line, when the things outside the sky appear and affect reality, you are trying to make this line spread out again." ”
Lin Lan was thoughtful.
Sikong Wuxin said again: "As for cutting the future, I've only heard that the Sky Thief has this ability, and I don't know much about it, but...... I think it's not so much about cutting the future, but more suitable for a word left in Tang Tianyuan's daily talk notes - probability. ”
"Probability?" Lin Lan understood what he meant.
Sikong said unintentionally: "If you cut down the cause of a person's death to only one left, and let that person's future can only take this path, isn't that a fixed endgame?" But if you can't cut that much of the future, it's just a matter of probability. ”
Lin Lan nodded slightly.
Originally, there were a hundred ways to die, but he cut down ninety-nine, isn't there only one way to die?
"In addition, you just said that the future that you can't cut off is too likely, and it is related to your Heaven Thief supernatural powers."
Sikong Wuxin said softly: "But I think that this should depend on your own ability, the Heaven Thief Divine Power only gives you the ability to directly cut off future possibilities, but whether you can cut it off has nothing to do with the Heaven Thief Divine Power." ”
"What am I capable of?" Lin Lan wondered.
Sikong Wuxin pondered for a moment and said: "Between heaven and earth, there was once an innate supernatural power, called 'wishes come true', as long as it is possible to do it yourself, when you activate your supernatural powers, you can directly achieve the result." ”
He looked at Lin Lan and said, "How do you think this ability is achieved?" ”
"This is the law of cause and effect...... Lin Lan muttered.
"Cause and effect? Buddhism attaches great importance to this word, and it is not wrong to have effect as the cause...... This kind of magic power is to ignore the process and directly achieve the result. ”
Sikong Wuxin said: "In my opinion, your future cutting is actually a similar ability, but this kind of magical power that wishes come true is to achieve the result and turn the 'possible' into 'certain', while your future cutting is the opposite, in order to eliminate the result and turn the 'possible' into 'impossible'." ”
"I guess I do." Lin Lan nodded and said, "But how did you do this?" ”
"Tang Tianyuan actually already knows the general theory, and I've read it, so I probably understand what your ability is." Sikong Wuxin said: "It's just that the principle is more cumbersome, and it's useless for you to listen to it, but you may feel that your current life is very boring, are you sure you want to listen?" ”
"Forget it."
Lin Lan shook his head and said, "I just want to know the use and rules of this supernatural power, let's live first." ”
"It's simple." Sikong Wuxin said: "The possibility of the future that you can cut shows that it is the future that you can change, when your own ability has the possibility to prevent this kind of future from happening, then you can use the Heaven Thief to cut the future, and you will naturally be able to succeed, and the Heaven Thief is just for you to ignore the process of change and achieve it directly." ”
Lin Lan nodded knowingly, and said, "In other words, it's not that the more likely the future, the more difficult it is to cut off, but to see if I can stop it?" ”
Sounds mysterious.
But his ability to foresee the end game itself is already very mysterious, so naturally there is nothing unacceptable.
Sikong Wuxin bowed slightly, and said: "According to cause and effect, the end is 'effect', the process is 'cause', the greater the possibility of the future, the greater the force to form 'cause', if it exceeds your own ability, you can't change it, your own ability includes your cultivation, connections, information, wisdom, and so on." ”
"In other words, if I have enough ability, I can cut off all future causes of death?" Lin Lan asked.
"All ......"
Sikong Wuxin suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, and said: "Theoretically, there will be at least one possibility, because the last possibility is the completely certain endgame, which is theoretically impossible to cut off, and if it is cut off, I don't know what interesting things will happen." ”
He suddenly said, "You can see if you can cut off my future." ”
"Yours?" Lin Lan looked at Sikong Wuxin for a moment.
He immediately activated the Heaven Thief Divine Power, and everything around him instantly stood still, became dead silent, and was separated from heaven and earth in an instant.
And the light path under his feet and the light path under Sikong Wuxin's feet are converging at one point, and there are forks in the road.
But......
"Huh?"
Lin Lan was suddenly stunned.
Because...... Under Sikong Wuxin's feet, there was only a bright fork in the road, which was extremely wide, stretching into the endless distance.
There is only one fork in the road, which means that there is only one cause of death in the future.
The situation is exactly the same as his, there is only one explanation -
Sikong Wuxin was also observed by the Sky Thieves about the cause of death in the future, and the outcome has long been a foregone conclusion!
"Unintentional...... Who observed the cause of death in the future? Lin Lan muttered, "The Heaven Thieves of the past?" ”
He looked along the path of light, but there was no end in sight.
Obviously, Sikong Wuxin's end is later than his, and the rest of his life is much longer.
"Let me cut this one and only future?"
Lin Lan knew that it was impossible to succeed, but he still tried to turn his mind into a knife, urging the Heaven Thief Divine Power, and slashing at Sikong Wuxin, the only cause of death in the future.
But this future path of light only fluctuated slightly, and it had no effect, obviously with his ability, he couldn't stop the unintentional endgame at all.
Lin Lan immediately withdrew from the state of stealing the sky, looked at Sikong Wuxin, who was sitting quietly opposite, and frowned slightly: "It turns out that your Heaven Thief has seen the cause of death in the future?" ”
“…… Right. ”
Sikong Wuxin was silent for a while, and said, "It was a long, long time ago, and I wasn't empty at that time. ”
"Isn't it unintentional?" Lin Lan was surprised, but Sikong Wuxin obviously didn't want to say it, so he didn't continue to ask, just asked, "Who is that Sky Thief?" ”
Sikong Wuxin was silent for a long time and said, "He's dead, and I can't mention his name." ”
"Can't mention it again?" Lin Lan's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "Could it be Josie?" ”
"Josie?" Sikong glanced at him inadvertently and said, "It's not Josie, you ask so, is Josie also a secular pseudonym of someone?" ”
Lin Lan shook his head slightly and said, "It's also a Sky Thief, but I don't know who it is." ”
Sikong Wuxin was silent for a moment and said, "I probably guessed who it is, this name really can't be mentioned." ”
He looked at Lin Lan and said, "Let's talk about your use of the Heaven Stealing Divine Power, and there is a more domineering use, you may not have discovered it yet." ”
"What?" Lin Lan asked.
"The use of the Mandate of Heaven...... You see, there are many possible causes of death for everyone. ”
Sikong Wuxin said softly: "As long as you can see the endgame, no matter what kind of cause of death, once you observe, it will be fixed from possibility to necessity, no matter how small the possibility will become inevitable, this is a destiny to kill." ”
"But...... I observed it in a state detached from heaven and earth. Lin Lan frowned.
Sikong Wuxin said: "Do you think about how you saw the endgame before? Next time, you can try to return to heaven and earth while observing. ”
"Okay." Lin Lan nodded thoughtfully.
