"Fatalism?"

Zero shook his head and said, What Rosen wants to argue is not the theory of the immutability of fate, what he really wants to express is the complexity and diversity of things, for example, in an infinite cycle of time and space, if a point is determined, then we can get an infinite number of ways to reach this point, there are three processes in the development of things, cause, process and effect, if we determine one of the points, then the remaining two points have infinite possibilities, generally speaking, we first determine the cause, and then the event will develop. ”

Although the theory of Master Rosen cannot be demonstrated, but under hypothetical conditions, he seems to have gotten a perfect complex answer, but the world is far more complex and diverse than his theory, there are too many uncertainties, I have studied prophecy, the so-called prophecy is simply put, it is to infer the direction of events through the cause, the more details you know, the more accurate the prediction, so to speak, if I am a god and know everything in the world, then I can even foresee the whole process from the beginning of the world to the destruction, the biggest mistake of Master Rosen is that he fixes the cause and at the same time binds the effect, achieved or not achievedAs a result, there are only two points left, and the only thing that really expands infinitely is the process. Zero said slowly.

Astoria was silent for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean, there was a scholar in later generations who studied the theory proposed by Rosen, and he gave the same conclusion as you, Rosen's theory is not accurate, but he simply overturned Rosen's theory and did not put forward his own opinion. ”

"The details of this world are infinite, whether it is the cause, the process or the effect, no point can be determined by us in advance, only when it really happens, will it be observed by us, I have also put forward a theory, for example, although I am standing here now, but before this there must be another possibility, maybe I failed, maybe I died before I came. ”

Zero stretched out his right hand, made a scissor-like gesture, and continued, "To put it more simply, theoretically I can make many different gestures, but the moment I finally decide, those different possibilities are annihilated, and only what really happens is reality, and before it happens, whether it is the cause, the process or the effect, is infinitely extended. ”

"What you mean is that this world is the only but infinitely extensive, and there are infinite worlds that are annihilated by different choices at every moment, and there are infinite worlds that arise as a result, and the cycle of birth and death goes on and on, and finally determines the only reality that exists, but your theory, like that of Master Rosen, cannot be demonstrated, and only exists in your hypothesis...... Do you ......" Astoria suddenly realized something in the middle of her words, but if this conjecture was true, it was crazy.

"Lord Astoria, although you have lived for hundreds of years, have you ever truly seen the power of time? I've seen it, the hourglass sealed in my body, it took too much of me, but it also gave me a chance to really understand time, the infinite loop of time and space is not impossible, but I can't do it with my current strength alone, so I will come to it, I need the power of the sky fox to delay death, but what I need more is the apple that was swallowed by it, I promised to go through it, three chances to correct the error, in fact, it is exaggerated, I can't directly reverse the trend of the ending, to some extent, what I can do is very limited, even minimal。 Zero said calmly.

"Butterflies flapping their wings in the south, hurricanes in the north, that's what you mean by limited, you want to change the outcome through the influence of the details?" Astoria said tentatively.

"It's you, that's right, but it's easy to say, it's actually very difficult to really implement, I don't know what can affect the direction of the ending, maybe it's a person, maybe it's a stone, there must be cause and effect, and vice versa, everything in the world must conform to the law of cause and effect, there will be no contradictory things, this is an iron law, ordinary people can't violate it, according to this, what I can do is probably very limited, of course, the above are just my subjective inferences. ”

"Inference?madman, you and Yu are both crazy in nature, but now it seems that you are much crazier than him, the inheritance of the spiritual path for thousands of years, has never really touched the realm of time, as you said, the details of this world are infinite, even if you understand time, even if you deny the current reality, how can you guarantee that the end will definitely develop according to your wishes, it is just another unknown, maybe a far worse ending than the present. ”

Astoria has no concrete concept of time, although he lives a long time, time is like a non-existent thing for him, the aging of living things, the ** of food, the alternation of the seasons, is all this really because of time?

He had doubted that perhaps all this should be so, that there was never any time in this world, that all things were born and died only by the laws of nature, that time was just a reference, and that if there was something that was immortal and never changed, then time would not exist for it.

"Denying the current reality? No, you are wrong, it is not me who denies the current reality, but the world itself, the so-called correction of errors, is to gradually erase those unpleasant endings through the influence of small details, and what I have to do is to change the direction of the law of cause and effect as much as possible, and the cost of doing so is very high, if I fail, the ending will be led to a worse side...... Please don't laugh, I haven't failed in the true sense of the word in my life, so please forgive me for not having the words to explain it. ”

Zero's self-confidence never gives people the feeling of arrogance, as if he already knew the outcome in advance, just like the theory proposed by Bachelor Rosen, when he decided to do something, the outcome of that event was already predestined, and the cause and process no longer mattered.

"Time...... What the hell is it?" Astoria completely let go of her pride, like a student who humbly asked for advice from a teacher.

"Past, present, future, all of this is not divided by time in our concept, just like the concept of up and down, left and right, the direction is not absolute, it depends on your subjective feelings, the world itself has no up and down, there is no past, there is no future, we call yesterday the time of the past, this is a big mistake, it has always existed, it has never disappeared, in other words, past, present, The future actually exists at the same time, related to each other, and if one of them does not exist, then the remaining two will also be annihilated. Zero explained.

"This contradicts what you said before, on the one hand, you say that when you make a choice, other possibilities are annihilated, but until reality is determined, cause and effect are infinitely extended, that is, the future is not determined, but you are now telling me that the past, present and future exist at the same time, which means that everything is doomed?" Astoria asked.

This is where time is really difficult to understand, the past, present and future are unique but infinite, the difference is only whether it has become the reality in the eyes of you and me, the so-called possibility of annihilation, it is not gone, but for you and me it does not exist, just like we can't walk on two different roads, there are countless roads in this world, but there is only one under our feet, to put it more simply, we exist in the past, present and future at the same time, because of the infinite details and countless intersections of division, there are countless pasts, presents and futures, and there are countless us in the river of time。 ”

“...... So what exactly are you going to do?"

Astoria was silent, and for the first time he felt that his comprehension was somewhat lacking, or rather imagination.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but according to the notes left behind by the man, the Sands of Time that I sealed in my body can reverse time, which may not be appropriate to say, it can bring my consciousness from the present back to another me at some point in the past or future, if I can change the past, then everything that is happening now and the future will be reconstructed by the changes in the past, in other words, I may be able to use the Sands of Time to adjust the final direction of the timeline I am in. ”

Zero rarely uses the less certain word 'maybe', after all, the idea that consciousness travels through time is simply a subversion of the inherent common sense of human beings, but it does exist, just like what is written in the notebook, but for some reason the last time traveler disappeared, leaving only the sands of time, the apple, the core, and a notebook, which caused a large-scale space-time anomaly.

The alternation of the seasons is capricious, some old people regain their youth, some young people are dying of old age in a day, some people are still plowing the field with their front feet, but their back feet suddenly wake up from the bed, but what is even more strange is that no one in that town has noticed the abnormality at all, as if everything is reasonable, if it weren't for the people of the Xingyue Council who passed by by chance and were reminded that something was wrong after leaving here, I am afraid that the residents of that town are still living in the turbulence of time and space.

"That notebook was mentioned to me, but have you ever wondered where the owner of this notebook has gone? You only have mastered the sands of time, but he has three things related to the realm of time at the same time, how can such a person be nameless? He can get everything he wants with this power, but don't you think it's a little unreasonable why he ended up leaving only one notebook? I'm afraid it's not as easy as you say. ”

Although Astoria hadn't read the notebook, his face was not very good when he mentioned it to him at the time, and in Yu's words, the time realm was not easily accessible to anyone, and it was very likely that the person was completely lost in the endless turbulence of time and would never come back.

“...... I understand, but I have to go. Zero said after a long silence.
