"Is the world we see with our own eyes real?"

"Feeling, perception, memory, thinking, imagination, language – all kinds of processes transform the knowledge we acquire into 'the world as we see it,' and that is cognition."

"Is the world seen by the insects on the ground the same world as the world they see after they pupate into butterflies?"

"Humans call the powerful monsters they see in their eyes natural disasters, but they don't know that in the face of more powerful beings, those natural disasters are just as powerless as newborn babies."

"So, back to the original question, is the world we see with our own eyes the so-called reality?"

This is a question and answer, or Huo Qing'e's one-man show, because she has only one audience, and she remains as silent as ever.

But Huo Qing'e didn't care, her words were not finished yet.

"Cognition is highly subjective, and its ambiguity can lead to too many different views depending on the perspective, so let's try to revise our previous conclusions."

"Is the world what most people see as it is real?"

"I guess that's the closest answer to the right one, right? Perhaps this is the answer of most people, and it is what most people have always believed. ”

"But that's not your answer, is it, Shenqi? You only trust your choices. ”

"It's a shame you're wrong, but that's okay because everyone is wrong."

"What the world is like and how to define everything in the world is not something that can be solved by a few obeying the majority."

"Right and wrong, good and evil, truth and falsehood, from the endless expanse of the sky to a tiny speck of dust that no one cares about, who can define their value? No one. ”

"Because the world itself has given them the value of their existence."

"A stone can be a weapon when it is grasped in someone's hand, and it becomes garbage when it is thrown on the side of the road, but to the world, the stone is still a stone, and it does not change its value because of where it is."

“...... Are you trying to say, me, and her, that everything we do is meaningless? ”

This was the first thing Shen Qi said after thinking about it for a long time, but she was exchanged for a long silence from Huo Qing'e.

"Let's use an analogy, Shenqi."

Huo Qing'e raised a finger and said, "If time could be turned back, if you had one more chance to choose, then what would you do?" ”

"I never felt like I had made the wrong choice," Shenqi said firmly, "and I have never regretted the ideal country that Adam wanted, the future I wanted." ”

"Well, Shenqi, if that's the case, do you think everything you've ever done is 'right'?"

"Nature."

"That means if you were really given another chance to choose and turn back time, you'd still make the same choice, wouldn't you?"

"That's right."

Shenqi's unconfused answer made Huo Qing'e smile, and the playfulness in her smile was like candy obtained from a prank, sweet and a little sticky.

"Look, you've already figured out the answer, haven't you?" Huo Qing'e said lightly: "If you think that everything you do is right, even if you go back in time, you will still make the same choice, then isn't the result already doomed?" ”

“......”

"You will still use the curse to trap Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace, you will still stop in the Demon Realm because of the loss of the weapon of great sin and your body, Adam will still become like this, and nothing will change."

"You just asked me if what you're doing still makes sense, and my answer is – it doesn't make sense."

"The proof is that even if you turn back the clock countless times, you will still make choices based on your own perceptions and judgments, which will lead to this series of causal cycles, so that nothing changes the outcome."

"You think you are doing everything right, and now the result is the result of your choice to be 'right'."

"That's right, Shenqi, every decision you make, every step you take is right, it belongs to you, and because of this, no matter what you do, nothing will change in the future."

"Because, fate, has long been predestined."

“......”

Huo Qing'e's words made Shenqi completely stunned, and she suddenly realized that something she had been insisting on had collapsed.

Yes, Shenqi has been remorseful, regretting everything that has happened now, but if you look back, everything in the past was her own choice.

Now she has lost her body and the instrument of sin, because she was tempted by the instrument of gluttony and caused her to fall, she chose to eat herself, and incarnated into the new will that resides in the instrument of gluttony, the master of the graveyard.

As a result, she lost her body, and at the same time, the weapon of great sin was snatched by Chang'e.

But did she do it wrong? Not really.

If she was given another chance, she would still choose to accept the power of the Great Sin Vessel and choose to fall, because only by becoming the master of the cemetery could she really help Adam.

She desperately stripped her soul of the weapon of great sin from both sides, just to put the curse of death on Chang'e's body, did she do it wrong? Not really.

If she was given another chance, she would still choose to die with the other party, because Chang'e was one of the few people who could influence Adam.

So, if everything could be done all over again, then nothing would change her choice, but here's the problem.

As Huo Qing'e said, if everything is the result of the right choice, then what is she regretting now?

Shenqi's thoughts were in a trance for a while, but soon they suddenly realized it.

No, it's not! This is the sophistry of that guy!

"Don't look at me like that, is everything I saying wrong?" Huo Qing'e showed a helpless expression: "We have all seen the real appearance of the 'world' three or four steps ahead, can you assert that my statement is wrong?" ”

"In that case, what's the point of what you're doing now?"

"Of course it makes sense."

Huo Qing'e pulled out the hairpin on her head and gently drew a small circle with the size of a bowl in front of her: "I'm tired of it, four thousand years later, four thousand years later, four thousand years later, four thousand years later...... It's so stupid, don't you think so? ”

“......”

"If the fate of reincarnation is the punishment that the world has given to us who have sinned, then at least let us have a chance to atone for our sins."

Huo Qing'e slashed her palm with a hairpin, and the scarlet blood merged into the endless void as a thin line.

"I've given up, it doesn't matter what the future holds, now I just need one ending, one, a completely different ending!"

After all, Huo Qing'e actually opened a crack in front of her that was very similar to the gap between Yayun Zi, and more importantly, the opposite side of this crack was actually reflected in Wu Ye, who was in the pale world.

"What are you going to do.......!" A very bad premonition rose in Shenqi's heart.

"I want to get back the future that is rightfully ours."

At that moment, the expression on Huo Qing'e's face blurred, flickering as if she was about to become another person.

"We all know that Adam could only truly change the world if he had the power of Eve."

"But Eve is long dead!"

"Yes, Eve is dead, but her strength is not."

As if following Huo Qing'e's guidance, in the pale shadow world, Wu Ye seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around, there was someone there who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"This reincarnation is Adam's choice, and I can't be sure if I can change Adam's will, just as you can't be sure if he will trust you, so I can only do it."

When Huo Qing'e completely showed the picture of the crack to Shenqi, the god of the demon realm was completely stunned, because the person who appeared there was something she couldn't have predicted.

That's the biggest outlier outside the trajectory!

"I can't change Adam's choice, so all I can do is eliminate Adam's ability to choose—if he rejects Eve's power from the bottom of his heart, then how can he change the world?"

......

"How, how come, you, you are ......!"

Brought Aryo to this time to stay in the world of daylight, and Takeshi also met her.

Teach Wu Ye with his fists, use domineering to retreat monsters, and use the art of dividing spirits to keep Reimu in the dark for more than ten years-

The first shrine maiden.

"Ah, it looks like you've grown a lot, Takeya."
