God says that the world is in constant cycles.

From the beginning of the world to the end of the destruction of the world, and then again, it will return to the beginning.

It seems like a long timeline, but in this world, the laws of the world that cycle back and forth are no more than 10,000 years.

Because there is no concept of the universe here, the world is so big that it can be summed up in its entirety.

The sun was created by the gods, and the earth was created by the gods.

Wind and clouds, water and fire, all created by the gods.

As a result, the world did not spend more time on development, and began to take shape.

From among them, various races were born, and the life of the world was born.

After the first 10,000 years, the world was destroyed and the beginning was returned.

The world was opened up by Kaos, the Supreme God was split, and time began to flow from the beginning.

Finally, after 10,000 years again, repeated reincarnation.

[In my consciousness, I have experienced 10,000 reincarnations]

[And this is because I realized it after I transcended the name of 'Kaos']

The illusory chat box flickered before Victor's eyes again, as if trying to uncover the true veil of this world.

[But no being knows about the restart of the world except me]

[It dawned on me that the world may have been restarted countless times. 】

[Bearing the name of 'Kaos', I have also spent countless reincarnations without memory]

[First of all, I have transcended the consciousness of 'Kaos' and am no longer bound by this identity. 】

"Wait a minute."

Victor abruptly interrupted Kaos's words of blending with the Void and asked.

"Since you said that it was because you were free from the shackles of your name that you could remember all this, what about the goddess of nature?"

From the player's point of view, Kaos's words didn't surprise him.

After all, that's what games are.

When the player has cleared the level and there is no more content to play, then only the final ending remains.

Then players can naturally choose to restart the game, re-establish the save, and replay the game's story.

When the player clears the level, there is no game content, and it will naturally usher in the final ending.

This has also become an important reason for the reincarnation of this world.

It's just that Kaos is beyond the role that the game itself sets for him.

As a result, it became aware of the reboot of this world and retained the memories of the countless reboots.

That being the case, what about the goddess of nature?

Isn't her rejection of Gaia's name also a way to transcend the constraints of the role?

But soon, Victor realized that he was thinking too much.

[She did refuse to be 'Gaia', transcending the name]

[But......]

Kaos in the sky seemed to sigh, and his red pupils dimmed a little.

The faces that were frozen like sculptures also quietly drooped, and the yellow fragments like fallen wood slowly drifted down.

As if sighing, I sighed.

[She chose to refuse the name she was given, she was rebelling]

[And resistance will be suppressed.] 】

[Her existence will be erased, and it will be erased from consciousness]

[That's why she split the calamity, so she must continue to pass on herself.] 】

Only continuous self-inheritance can ensure the continuation of nature.

In order to ensure that at the beginning of the next reincarnation, the name of 'Gaia' will not be re-given to nature.

[Do you know how many times the inheritance of the goddess of nature has been reincarnated? 】

Victor's eyes narrowed, looking at the number of times he appeared in front of him, which made people tremble.

[10,000 times.] 】

[Just in the number of memories I kept, she has passed it on tens of thousands of times]

[From the original her, to the current her, she is no longer the one who split from me at the beginning and rejected Gaia's name]

Seeing this, Victor frowned, and a question emerged from his thoughts.

In this way, what does Erica's existence represent?

Is she a character that the goddess of nature intends to pass on?

[Don't think too deeply, every goddess of nature will not choose the same inheritor, it will be remembered by fate and erased in advance]

[It's just that the goddess of nature in this timeline happens to be the mother of the little girl next to you, so I gave her the inheritance]

[Looking at every descendant who inherits nature, in order not to affect the future timeline, he has to rack his brains to choose the inheritance object. 】

[It's also one of the few pleasures I've had]

Seeing this, Victor took a deep breath.

It's no wonder that while playing the game, he didn't notice the relationship between Erica and the goddess of nature.

Because the game character 'Erica' at that time really had nothing to do with the goddess of nature.

The first time he appeared here, this time the game opens the timeline.

The inheritance of the goddess of nature falls to Erica's mother, who becomes the inheritor.

So, it wasn't Levi who married the goddess of nature.

It's just that in this timeline, Levi's wife happened to become the goddess of nature and gave birth to Erica.

He didn't expect Erica to become one of the variables.

[But you, Victor]

With his arms crossed, Kaos suddenly splintered into a new twisted arm from the intertwined arms.

It looked the same as the two arms it had before, except that the fingers were truly, pointing at Victor.

[Your appearance has affected this timeline change]

[Originally, the princess of the empire of Calencia was supposed to ascend the throne after the appearance of 'those things'. 】

[But because of your influence, her succession was advanced by a year]

At this moment, Kaos's face trembled again, and the pale rocks like sculpture fragments peeled off one after another,

The two closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing the chaos deep in their sockets.

In one of his eyes was a twisted clock that looked like time flowing, and a strange ocean floated in his deep sockets.

In this sea of nothingness, there are countless digital shadows that symbolize time.

In his other eye, however, was a shattered space filled with clear blue.

The depths of the pupil fell apart like a shattered mirror, but the trajectory of the rift was not just on a plane.

The void rift space seemed to have broken away from here and opened up another place, which was filled with endless space fragments.

Sometimes staggered, sometimes reunited, sometimes divided.

[The repetition of 10,000 years was broken by you alone, so I began to wonder about your origin]

This pair of eyes were fixed on Victor's body, as if they had seen through his soul and penetrated everything about him.

[But no matter what, I can't see through the real you]

[Are you the soul that uses Victor's body, or is it the real Victor?] 】

These words appeared in front of Victor's eyes word by word, so that Victor did not know how to answer Kaos for a moment.

Even if he was to fight him, it would be much better than if he were to answer the other party's questions now.

Because he's just a player.

In comparison, facing Kaos, who has lived tens of thousands of times.

He was able to process the other party's information only reluctantly.

He was tempted to say that he was nothing more than a master who had taken over Victor's body.

He was forced to appear in this world in order not to be killed like Victor once was.

will continue to fight.

Just like now, it is also for self-preservation, that Victor plans to continue to fight his way out of that hell.

His original intention was just to live in this world.

So, if Kaos had to ask, he had to answer.

He is a player who occupies Victor's body.

[Then ......]

The contents of the chat box appeared in front of Victor again.

With the appearance of one word after another, the ticking sound is like a step in time,

It's crisp and deafening.

[Do you have any other names besides Victor?] 】

Rumble!

At this moment, Victor only felt a sharp blankness in his brain.

His name?

In addition to Victor, his name?

He has all the memories of playing games in his previous life.

With countless skills, he has all the knowledge of this game world.

But only.

His name?

"I ...... It's ......"

Victor lowered his head and muttered.

But that is the name that should have been owned, should have been spoken.

In my mind, there are only three words 'Victor', but I can't imagine anything else.

Seeing this, Kaos in the sky withdrew his hand and clasped his arms in both hands.

All the illusory clocks hidden in his first eye turned in unison, and the dense hands were running at high speed.

At the same time, the shattered space hidden in the second pupil poured out of the eye socket extremely unnaturally, infinitely magnified.

[I won't fight you, that will be fruitless and meaningless.] 】

[But I'll let you go]

【Go, Visitor】

[Find the answers you seek, come back here, and deliver them to me.] 】

Finally, it closed those eyes tightly, and his own true voice rang out.

"It's a pact between you and me."

In an instant, the broken rift was gradually erased.

A huge clock slowly turned, sounding the sound of a regular passage of time.

The day bloomed, like a wave pouring out, drowning everything in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

……

The Carencian Empire, the royal capital -

All the buildings in the city seem to have been renovated, and every brick and rock has a strange atmosphere.

Even the number of floors has changed a lot, and the small buildings that originally had only two or three floors have all been taller.

The street was filled with all kinds of magic guide stone teleportation arrays, all exuding a leisurely blue luster.

Even the carriages that came and went on the road were replaced.

It turned into a steel car that shuttled through the streets, driven by magic stones.

Floating blue waves swept across the ground, as if overshadowing the ground.

But when I looked up, the sky fell into a gray situation, which formed a sharp contrast with the brightness of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Standing in place, surrounded by countless pedestrians on the road, his eyes full of confusion.

Their eyes were filled with obvious doubts.

It's like wondering.

Where did this man who suddenly appeared in the middle of the road come from?

Trample! Trample! Trample!

With the sound of horses' hooves, a majestic voice set off:

"Notified!"

"There is an unidentified homeless person on the street of Wangdu, and he is here to investigate!"

Following this sound, all the pedestrians in Xizhou who were bustling looked back, and their eyes widened one by one.

Their eyes were full of consternation, and a cacophony of voices quickly rang out from the crowd:

"Quick...... Look, it's the Royal Knights. ”

"Displaced people without identity? This...... How long has it been since I've seen a homeless person? ”

"The one in the middle, hiss...... That snow mastiff armor! ”

The pedestrians chattered, but they consciously made way for them.

Immediately after, a dozen warriors in silver armor rode horses and walked up to him.

One of the older knights, looking down at him:

"Hey, you're ......"

Suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen some kind of terrifying existence.

opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't say a word, and he froze in place.

In the end, Xing probably watched the knight who went not react.

The knight, who was surrounded in the middle of the knight, wearing the silver armor of the snow mastiff on his chest and the silver hair on his body, rode out.

Her face didn't change much, but it faded away from its original immaturity and became more mature.

But it also seems more ruthless because of it.

The snow mastiff knight lifted the knight's spear and aimed it at the man's face, pointing at his neck and lifting his head slightly.

In the end, her emotionless gaze was fixed on him.

His eyes flashed slightly, but he still fell emotionless words, like orders.

"Come with me."

"Go back and get married."
