Chapter 1112 Intertwined Fates
"I see." After listening to Liu Xiaoxiao's brief analysis, He Qiang concluded, "You think the witch Qin Lingxue is an identity of Yao Ji. Not only does she come from the future, but she's also related to Hun Dun and the others?"
"This way, we've finally found enough bargaining chips to negotiate with Hun Dun and the others." Chen Long smiled. "Although we're still unclear about their exact purpose, we have a general direction. We also understand that we are not insignificant in his plan. That's enough."
"Ten thousand years...it's a really long time," Qi Xiaomin said with emotion. "Although we've already experienced this twice, the time we've actually been alive has only been a little over two hundred years. However, we haven't decided whether we want another ten thousand years."
"Don't trust the enemy's words." Dabao suddenly spoke up. "Perhaps they intend to use the traces left behind in the past to make a time jump to the past. If that's the case, we must seize the opportunity to stop them. If the first jump is likely to simply form a fatal loop in time and space, then the next jump may be a true distortion of history."
"I have used the Scepter of Creation to seal off the time and space of Douluo Star for the past tens of thousands of years. Even if the Supreme God King comes in person, it will be difficult to tamper with the past." Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head.
"Chaos...dreams...reality...theory of the virtual world..." Fan Yihuang pondered, "Reality replacing virtuality...the unity of virtuality and reality...the false can become true...mixed reality...materialism...idealism...rules collide...dominance..."
Lin Bo tutted his words. "Whatever their goal, at least we know how they plan to do it. This world is inherently fake. No matter how it evolves and approaches reality, it's still fake. No one can create or usher in a completely real world. Every world has its own problems. So they need a medium, a medium to turn the fake into the real. They plan to merge the two separate worlds into one, and the confusion and breakdown of order caused by the different rules that arise during the fusion process will be reconciled using Zhang Shiwen's dream master abilities. It's like using miracles to solve things that are normally impossible, using unreasonable methods to solve potential problems. In this way, their goal will be achieved. All of this is something we already knew."
"But that doesn't explain why they insist on us entering here." Chen Long shook his head. "The only explanation I can think of is that they're trying to win us over and induce us to cooperate with their plans, either directly or indirectly. But if that were the case, there's no need for them to have that enchantress intervene. Or is it that Enchantress's actions aren't Chaos's will, but rather her own actions?"
"I think it's related to my ability to control dreams," Zhang Shiwen said. "Although I'm a natural dreamer, I don't know why I have this ability, or what it means to be a dreamer. In the past, I couldn't actively control or guide dreams, but after that experience, my control over dreams has deepened. Perhaps this is what they hope to see, or perhaps it's the conditions that were originally missing."
"Besides the fact that they chose us, there's also the question of why they chose this world," Wang Haochen said. "There are countless worlds to choose from, so why did they have to choose this one? Coincidence? Chance? They had to choose a world? But since this plan is so important, the choice of target world must also have some underlying rules. In other words, they had a reason for choosing this world."
"Then we come to a more fundamental question: why do they want to merge the two worlds?" He Qiang said. "I don't think they're pursuing some frivolous vision of world control. I believe there's a higher reason. To put it in a positive light, they hope to advance Earth's civilization, and therefore they want to find a more utopian world. If this world were constructed by us, it would be the most suitable one. To put it in a negative light, it's because Earth is facing some kind of crisis, or perhaps a crisis across the entire universe, and we're forced to flee and choose a safe zone suitable for survival."
"This world's creator god has a long-cherished wish for life to flourish and develop eternally, and this will continues to influence the universe. I believe this is the most important reason," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "Based on previous encounters, they are less likely to harbor malicious intent than benevolent intentions. If their goal is the prosperity of Earth, then choosing a world with sufficient security, stability, and prosperity is inevitable."
"If both sides agree and share the same interests, then they will most likely meet our demands rather than confront us." He Qiang frowned. "The problem is that the enchantress who came from the future to interfere with us seems to define herself as our enemy."
"Perhaps Chaos has other goals that have not been achieved. Perhaps they do not belong to Chaos, but are messengers of other forces. There is a confrontation between the camps, or perhaps there are internal differences of opinion. In short, there is no way to guess without clues." Dabao shook his head.
"As for clues, maybe there are some." Liu Xiaoxiao said, and waved his hand, and a figure appeared in front of him.
That is the soul of the three-eyed golden lion.
"We meet again, Your Majesty Destiny." Liu Xiaoxiao said calmly.
"How did you recognize me?" The other party seemed a little puzzled.
"It's clearly the auspicious imperial beast that controls fate, yet something like that happened just after it merged with you. It's hard not to overthink things." Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head. "Your origins are questionable. Moreover, ever since I merged with you, I've been at the center of events, constantly being involved in various incidents. This twist of fate cannot be unrelated to you. If the inheritance of the God of Time is a test of time and space, then these influences, whether obvious or subtle, are your trials, right?"
Destiny said, "Yes, that's right."
"I think you should know about Chaos's plan and everything else," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "As the incarnation of the God of Creation, Chaos's plan must require your cooperation. I don't think you have no connection with him."
"Let me first answer the question you're most curious about," Destiny said. "I'm not sure what Chaos's goal is, but the means are clear: the fusion of worlds. Your reality and ours are virtual, yet they interact. By leveraging their commonality, smoothing out contradictions, and merging the two without causing chaos and annihilation, he can achieve his goal, at least in part. Zhang Shiwen's dreamer abilities do play a crucial role, but they're not complete. They have other preparations, and only when all the necessary conditions are met can the fusion be completed, and that takes time."
"Then what about the enchantress?" He Qiang asked the most pressing question.
"It's not just Enchanter. Another character has also arrived from the future. He set up this enormous stage and moved the actors into position. He calls himself a stage magician, and in this era he also has a nickname: The Clown," Fate replied. "As the embodiment of the Law of Fate, I cannot reveal too much of this secret, lest I face the backlash of the Law itself. The rest, you will have to discover it yourself."
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiaoxiao and said, "Let me give you some final guidance. Just as Time and Space chose you as the successor, I also plan to give you a legacy. This is the reward after you pass the assessment."
His voice grew erratic. "What do you think fate is like? Some believe it's predetermined by heaven, meaning it's irreversible. Others believe man can conquer nature, and can change his predetermined destiny. Others don't believe there's any such thing as a predetermined fate at all, that it's chaotic and disordered. Some believe all of these are correct. In short, fate-related abilities are divided into multiple areas.
"What matters isn't what fate actually is, but what you believe it is. There's the chaotic and disordered Qi, the divine destiny, and the miraculous triumph of man over nature. Mastering these abilities means you control all abilities in the realm of fate, though the quantity is lacking.
"However, this doesn't mean you control destiny itself, because destiny is intertwined with time, space, and reincarnation. For example, constantly traveling back and forth through time and space to change your destiny isn't something you can do yet. That requires simultaneous mastery of all three branches of the Law of Creation, truly mastering the very essence of the Law of Creation. This requires directly interfering with the fate of an entire planet, something even a God King would struggle to defy. Even if you travel back in time, you're essentially confined to the confines of a cycle of fate.
"The interweaving of fate and time and space reveals a person's past and possible future fate, which is related to the thread of destiny. The interweaving of fate and reincarnation allows one to reshape one's own or others' fate, concealing the truth from the world, as in the case of the rebirth of a God King. Furthermore, the past can be recreated in the present, repeating the cycle over and over again; this is also the wheel of fate. The interweaving of time and space and reincarnation is the simplest form of time travel.
"What Qin Lingxue did wasn't to create new branches in the past, but to exploit the rules of history and time, creating advantages for the present in the past, leaving her own historical imprint, thereby increasing the power of her divine arts in the present. Utilizing the principle of convergence, she merged the new histories generated by this past into the present, allowing multiple, almost identical pasts to simultaneously exist as the past of the present. The world's past hasn't changed much, so the present remains the present. However, subtle historical shifts can already slightly tilt the balance of victory or defeat.
"Your blockade of history is not wrong, but it is the result of being forced into this situation, not an active choice. Therefore, this is a foreseeable outcome, and it is also the result of their guidance. The advantage is still on their side."
The figure of Fate gradually faded and re-entered Liu Xiaoxiao's sea of consciousness. "Let me give you one last tip. The third god besides the God of Creation and the God of Retribution, the God of Guidance, truly exists. He was the first life created by the God of Creation after he created this universe. Besides the incarnation of the God of Creation and the God of Retribution, he is the only life with a nine-dimensional personality, and the deity who actually directs the creation and evolution of life. You will eventually interact with him."
"The God of Guidance..." Liu Xiaoxiao muttered to himself.
"In other words, the reason Yao Ji and the others were able to influence this era and weave history was because they were utilizing the God of Guidance?" He Qiang frowned. "They were able to use the God of Guidance to a certain extent? Just like the God of Retribution is on our side? Whether it's the mystery of the Dragon God's fall and its connection to the Rakshasa God and the Underworld, or the tampering of history, are they all related to Him? Is this the ability to change fate?"
"In pure strength, the God of Guidance can't possibly defeat the God of Scourge after he's recovered to his peak. However, in a non-head-on confrontation, he'd probably be even more difficult to deal with." Qi Xiaomin shook his head. "I hope the God of Guidance isn't completely on their side, but rather that they've found a way to partially utilize him. That way, there's still a way to deal with him."
Liu Xiaoxiao looked forward, and saw lines of fate intertwining. After receiving the corresponding information, the two lines of fate belonging to Enchantress and Joker began to enlarge and turned into rivers, with pictures in them.
He soon learned a lot of things.
They seemed to be fooling fate, and everything for decades had been developing according to their expectations.
Liu Xiaoxiao silently memorized the names of Qin Lingxue, the "Enchantress," and Li You, the "Clown." These would be their rivals in their next life.
"In this life, all the challenges we've faced were brought about by just two people. One is Enchantress, and the other is Joker. Enchantress brought the underworld, and Joker brought the gods of Earth. They each used their own methods to manipulate the world's trends, leading to this situation." Liu Xiaoxiao said in a deep voice, "This round, we lost. The competition ten thousand years from now may be a competition that transcends time and space. We may travel to a parallel universe, the past, or even a completely different universe."
……
Qin Lingxue silently shuttled through the invisible channel of time and space.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of her. It was Li You.
"How is it? Is the plan going well?" Li You asked directly.
"It went very smoothly." Qin Lingxue laughed. "They finally blocked the way past the possible threat. Now, although we can't interfere with the past any further, they can't do that either. This way, our chances of winning will increase."
"This is an overt conspiracy. If they don't block time and space, you can alter the past to a greater extent, influencing the present and future, and gaining a dominant position in time. While minor changes in history can't affect the present, they can influence the future. Whether it succeeds or fails, our plan can move forward." Li You also laughed. "The mission is completed, and it's time for you to return. The pressure over there is growing. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid they will turn the tables."
Qin Lingxue nodded, and her figure faded away.
