Chapter 465: Three Thousand Years of One Dream
The replacement of the Lord of the Realm is a big event, and it is related to the future stability of a world.
Xu Mochen just asked casually, and the other party might not be able to answer.
Sure enough, the ten steps didn't elaborate, but nodded: "As a thank you, this ring was given to me by the realm lord of the elven realm."
He signaled, and Shuying beside him took the ring and handed it to Xu Mochen.
Xu Mochen took it, and his divine sense swept it in, and the surface of this ring was engraved with runes from the elf world.
These runes, he can understand a little, are a kind of increase in spiritual power.
Ordinary immortal cultivators may be regarded as supreme treasures, but for the realm lord of the Heavenly Demon Domain, it is also a gadget.
Listen to the ten steps and continue to explain: "I used to doubt the ring, and I studied it very carefully for a long time.
It is indeed able to increase the divine consciousness and divine thoughts of immortal cultivators, as well as consolidate their own spiritual power.
Other than that, there's nothing special about it."
Xu Mochen checked it clearly, and handed the ring to Qian Ling and the others beside him: "Is it after this time that His Royal Highness Wang dreamed of reincarnation?"
"Yes," admitted Ten Steps, "at first, I didn't care, and I didn't deliberately do anything.
After all, my own abilities are foreknowledge.
But foreknowledge also has a scope, and even if some things are foreseen, they can't actually change anything."
Xu Mochen asked him, "What does His Royal Highness mean, this ability of yours is sometimes uncontrollable."
"That's right," Ten Steps Dafang admitted his weakness, "It's true, most of the predictions are things that have nothing to do with the Heavenly Demon Domain, and the other changes in the Ten Directions World.
But in fact...... In my opinion, it is not a big problem to interfere with foresight."
In other words, he chose to wait and see, which is also the protection of his own realm.
In the world of immortal cultivators, some can spy on the heavens through calculations.
But strictly speaking, the secret of the operation of the entire Heavenly Dao is something that no one can crack.
This ability of ten steps looks powerful, but it is actually half a chicken rib.
Xu Mochen understood: "Then can you ask His Royal Highness to carefully explain the details of reincarnation."
"The first few times, I dreamed about it," Ten Steps recalled, "and I didn't talk to anyone.
It's just that gradually, I found that some things have a high degree of overlap.
Of course, the reincarnation I dreamed of was all internal to the Heavenly Demon Domain, and had nothing to do with the external environment of the Ten Directions World.
But the problem is, every time I wake up from a dream, I can only remember a small part of it.
After all, spanning nearly 3,000 years, things are too much to look at.
And then what you remember, it won't last long.
Gradually, over the past two hundred years, I have discovered that what I dreamed of is actually in line with it.
This makes me very suspicious that I may have foreseen the future of the Heavenly Demon Domain.
After that, I began to write down what I remembered and told my envoys about it."
As he spoke, he pointed to Shuying and Liyue.
Xu Mochen's gaze turned to them.
Shu Ying bowed: "I was in charge of recording it in the beginning.
When His Royal Highness woke up from his dream, he recorded what he had told me.
It went well at first, but then there were problems."
Xu Mochen's eyes flashed: "What's the problem?"
"I don't know if it's because of the influence of His Royal Highness," Shuying replied honestly, "The two of us found that our memories seemed to be disturbed.
I always feel like this is happening over and over again, so we don't know that those memories are real."
This is the first time Xu Mochen has heard of this situation, and he looked at Qian Ling.
After all, Qian Ling is a big guy and an academic, she muttered for a while: "The dream reincarnation that His Royal Highness dreams about must be quite partly the same.
So the superposition repeats, times
If you count more, you will have a sense of déjà vu.
In other words, it is an illusion that I give myself."
Shuying smiled wryly, "Maybe that's the truth.
So we took the approach of recording the things that we remembered as soon as possible."
Ten steps continued: "A dream for 3,000 years is too long, not to mention that I have to dream about it every few days.
Three thousand years is a great reincarnation for immortal cultivators, and my words seem to have lived for many, many years, and it can be said that it is painful."
When Xu Mochen and the others heard this, they all felt strange in their hearts.
The night time here is actually close to the world of the Ten Directions, and it is only about ten hours.
The real ten hours, for ten steps, seems to have passed three thousand years, and the taste is clear to him.
Moreover, once or twice is enough, seeing him say this, it is estimated that he has repeated it countless times.
It's no wonder that some details are confused.
"Later, I thought about trying to change," Jubu sighed, "and gradually I realized that things that seemed important always came back and forth."
Xu Mochen looked at him, "Therefore, His Royal Highness believes that these important recurring events are the key to the final destruction of the Heavenly Demon Domain."
"Yes," Shibu's eyes lit up, "I'll just concentrate on these memories and record them.
When it comes to the next dream, when I encounter the same scene, I try to avoid it, hoping that the ending of the dream can be changed."
It's a pity...... Xu Mochen already knew the answer.
"It's a pity that I seem to have found the wrong direction," Ten Steps shook his head, "Change one thing, and the next dream will unfold according to the new change."
But there are different problems, more and more, more and more complex.
Ultimately...... No matter what I do, the end of the dream is the same."
Xu Mochen and the others looked at each other.
Qian Ling made a slight summary: "Similar to the ripples on the surface of the water, the result of the intersection of a stone and the subsequent continuous investment is the formation of countless ripples."
"The butterfly effect," Xu Mochen also looked interested, "and the next dream will change according to what His Royal Highness did in the last dream."
It's a bit scary, and it's no longer a simple dream.
Ten steps smiled bitterly: "I also can't figure it out, sometimes I wonder if these are all my imaginations."
If it was a mortal, Xu Mochen would definitely recommend sending him to a psychiatric hospital.
However, immortal cultivators themselves have very strong divine consciousness and divine thoughts, and it is impossible for so-called conjectures to appear.
It can only be said that this is a test of infinite reincarnation for the future.
So, is it the ability of ten steps per se, or is it secretly imposed by someone.
If it were someone, who would have the ability to target the lord of a realm like this.
Even the twelve saints of the Heavenly Court probably don't have that kind of means to reach the heavens.
Take a step back and dream of these, is it a warning, or something.
Xu Mochen sorted out the causes and consequences: "Your Royal Highness, you can be sure that what you dream about is really going to happen."
"According to some records, for at least two hundred years, some things have been in accordance with each other," Ten Steps is very sure, "a kind of foreknowledge."
Of course, it is 100% consistent, but it may not be.
After all, in reality, I or others made different choices in the future, and the final result was different.
Some things that were meant to happen didn't happen."
"But something 'important, there's definitely there.'" Xu Mochen asked.
Ten steps and the others all nodded.
Xu Mochen turned to Qian Ling, who nodded slightly.
Qian Ling is engaged in research, and the Natural Sect is taking the route of cultivating immortals through science and technology.
She stretched out her hand, and two dots appeared in front of her: "Cultivating immortals."
Whether it is the world of the people, although there is no clear concept of time, there is cause and effect.
For example, if one of these two points is the cause, then the latter one can be regarded as the effect.
Then, from cause to effect, we can draw a straight line most directly."
As she spoke, she reached out and connected the two dots.
"That's how we can see things develop," Qianling continued, "the most straightforward and simplest way to go.
The reason why this is the case is because we see the effect and then we work backwards to push back the cause.
But in reality, things are not so singular."
As she spoke, she waved her right hand, and more lines appeared between the original two points.
These lines have a variety of routes, some of which converge and some of which then spread out to take on the shape of tree branches.
"Actually, at the beginning of any reason," Qian Zero pointed to the model, "there are countless possible forks, just like this model, there are so many of them.
These points can be called 'important event nodes, that is, things that are constantly advancing, and only when they reach such a node can a certain causal relationship be established.'
After all, Xu Mochen was a traverser, and he quickly understood: "What Aifei means is that there are countless changes between cause and effect.
Until it's finalized, there's any possibility."
"Yes," Qianling pushed the model to the center of the hall so that everyone could see it, "and according to what His Royal Highness just said, it should be these nodes that are most impressive in my memory.
It's just that every time His Royal Highness dreams about it, I'm afraid that when he wakes up, he will naturally choose to avoid it when he encounters a node, or when he is about to encounter a node."
This is human nature, after all, as the master of the realm, he knows that the Heavenly Demon Domain will eventually be destroyed, and he always has to take action.
Ten steps also stood up, these words were simply unbelievable, but they sounded reasonable, and made him feel refreshed: "That's it! Every time I wake up, remember to record it.
Later, I really encountered it, and I always subconsciously avoided it.
It's just ......."
"That's another problem," Qian Ling continued, "His Royal Highness adjusts the development of reality according to the events in the dream, and it will become another transformation.
As a simple example, such as this node, it disappeared because of the actions of His Royal Highness.
But now that His Royal Highness is on this route, there are no important nodes ahead, and it can only be converted and merged with other routes.
As a result, things that didn't happen before happened because of the changes in the past."
Ten steps smiled on his face: "Makes sense! That's true.
There were a few times when I changed it, and when something new really came up, I was always caught off guard."
Qian Ling still looked indifferent: "And the change in reality has actually become one of the memories of His Royal Highness.
So the next time you enter the dream realm, the future you dream about will of course change.
And the fundamental reason is that the final destination has not changed!"
As she spoke, she pointed to the last point that had been tightened together.
In other words, no matter how it changes, the Heavenly Demon Domain is doomed to perish.
Speaking of which, the faces of the three of Shibu and Shuying Liyue turned pale.
Tossed up, since the final result cannot be changed, it is not in vain.
Qian Ling glanced at them, "Then, if you want to fundamentally change and reverse the future, it is not completely without a chance."
When he said this, the eyes of the three of them lit up again.
"The first is to change one's life against the sky," Qian Ling turned the model, "that is, to completely remove oneself from such cause and effect."
"What do you mean?" Ten steps asked.
"It means that this kind of cause and effect must correspond to someone, such as Your Royal Highness," Qian Ling pointed to ten steps, "If His Royal Highness can break away from such a causal line, then cause and effect naturally do not exist. Look at the book
It's just that, not to mention immortal cultivators, even if they are mortals, if they want to change the result of cause and effect, the energy they need is ......
For immortal cultivators, it means that a lot of immortal fate and aura are needed.
The number ......."
With a flick of her fingers, a long line of numbers appeared in the air.
Ten steps was silent.
Even Xu Mochen was helpless, the immortal fate and aura needed were enough to give birth to the Ten Directions World.
In other words, it is basically unrealistic to modify the fixed future.
Ten steps was full of bitterness: "Is there any other way?"
"There's one more," Qian Zero reversed the model, "and that's to find a way to find the cause."
That is, the root cause of the final result!"
Ten steps frowned: "I understand what Niangniang means, but I haven't tried it over the years, and I can't rewrite it."
"That's because," Qianling smiled, "What His Royal Highness has found, I'm afraid it's not the real cause.
Of course, perhaps His Royal Highness has already discovered the cause, and there is a high possibility that it will be overlooked."
Ten steps clenched his fists: "In other words, we need to re-sort out all the clues."
Qianling nodded.
Xu Mochen asked, "Qian Ling, if we intervene like this, we will still be stuck in such a causal cycle.
Will the process of finding the cause cause to change?"
"Of course," Qianling said in a sure, "so it's a very difficult thing to do.
Because of our actions, it may change or be hidden.
It's hard for it to come out of its own accord or be easily found.
Because it is the cause of fruit.
As long as the effect exists, then the cause must also exist, and we in between have a very difficult time going back to the root cause."
"But there's hope, right?" Xu Mochen asked again.
Qianling thought and nodded, "At least there is hope."
"Your Highness the King," Xu Mochen confessed, "That's all we can think of.
I'm telling you the truth, and I may not be able to help you.
So the deal between us ......."
"The deal remains the same," Ten Steps smiled, "Xu Tianzi is willing to come over, and he can say this, which is beyond my expectations.
As for the result, I admit it!"
