First Player

Su Mingan did not approach Noel, but just watched from a distance.

Regardless of whether Dieying and Noer are related or not, Dieying will definitely pay attention to Noer. Su Mingan does not plan to chat with Noer unless necessary, so as not to alert the enemy.

"Su Ming'an, it's been fifteen years... you've been gone for fifteen years..." Noel said to himself sadly:

"You can go with peace of mind... It's a pity that the roads we walked together over the years and the smiles we shared, now I can only look back on them alone..."

"I don't know where Lu Shu went. He probably went to practice swordsmanship again... Since you left, he seems to have become a different person, more focused on his swordsmanship. Maybe he is using silence and loneliness to remember you. ...I will take care of myself and protect our memories..."

After being addicted to watching Noel's performance, Su Mingan left with peace of mind.

Su Mingan walked down the spiral staircase of the old shrine, and the god was reading a book of poems. Under the light, his silver hair was flowing with warmth, and his expression was very focused.

""The Collection of Flying Birds"? It turns out you also have artistic talent." Su Mingan withdrew the space to hide.

The god anticipated Su Ming'an's arrival, put down the collection of poems, and looked at him calmly: "You are back, and now it's vacation time. Congratulations, Su Ming'an."

"Collecting 'goodness'... is to enjoy life?" Su Mingan said.

"Yes. By improving your 'status' by playing the Dream Patrol game, you are essentially raising your spiritual threshold and gathering the sources scattered in various eras. Do you still remember your profession?" said the god.

"Ah..." Su Mingan remembered.

Whether it is "Bai Shen" or "Baishen", he relies on "skill points" to improve his professional skills. The way to obtain "skill points" is to do good or evil.

It turns out that since the second world, he has been on the road of collecting "good" and "evil" emotions. This is indeed the basis of the power system of the world game.

"The accumulated malice after a thousand years will be far beyond your imagination. Therefore, you must seize the time of this thousand years, raise your mental threshold as much as possible, and ensure that the moment you take on evil... you will not collapse." The god said.

At this time, the gauze curtain opened and a girl walked out with a chocolate bar in her mouth.

"In the eyes of players, except for certain key time points, most of the time in the past millennium will pass very quickly, and you cannot grasp every minute and every second. As a native Yueyue, the flow of time is normal. , she can help control your behavior." The god said.

Su Mingan understood what the mechanism was. Just like when he was talking to the gods at this time, this was a very critical time point, and the time he perceived was the normal flow rate. But if he enters the thousand-year vacation, most of the time he will not be able to understand it in detail.

In short, it's like...a dream.

When people dream, they will feel that what they have experienced is very real, and they will even dream about spending their whole life, as if a long time has passed. But when you wake up from the dream and look at the time, you will find that only half an hour has passed. For Su Mingan, a player, this is equivalent to a thousand-year dream, but in fact only two or three days have passed.

But for Yueyue...

She is a native and she will truly live through the millennium. Every minute, every second is real life to her.

"...Now, I really can't calculate your age." He smiled bitterly.

His three days are equivalent to her thousand years. Their perception of time is even different.

It's almost like...mayfly and ginkgo.

Yueyue smiled, her eyebrows flattened, and there was a lively emotion in her eyes: "It doesn't matter, it hasn't changed."

Except for the initial sacrifice, which turned Yueyue from a blank piece of paper into an independent girl, Su Mingan never felt any changes in Yueyue. From the third world to now, time has left no trace on her body.

Every time, Su Mingan could recognize her at a glance.

She has obviously gone through a long time, but she is still full of vitality, like the rising sun. She has a new and youthful life in every life, and she is still full of expectations, just like a girl.

Compared to her, Su Ming'an had undergone less than a year, but huge changes had taken place, as if her heart was already desolate.

"The flow of time above the starry sky is very slow. Duiying has not noticed that you have run away. You can go on vacation and don't have too many contacts with acquaintances. It shouldn't disturb Duiying." The god opened the poetry collection again.

"Where's Su Luoluo?" Su Mingan asked.

"She continued to travel five years ago and is safe." The god said.

"Where is Chaoyan?" Su Mingan didn't believe that Chaoyan would die, and he passed the level perfectly without any failure.

"Don't worry, she is not dead. She is... far away." The god said: "At the last moment when her life span was exhausted, she made a deal with me and gave her life authority to Yue Yue. Then, her soul found He found a safe place to sleep, and his body was preserved on the sacred tree."

"What deal did she make?"

"If you cannot live a happy life, she will be your guarantee... You don't have to ask, if you have the chance, you will know." The god said.

Su Mingan also wanted to ask, but the figure of the god disappeared.

He understood the reason why Yueyue was full of vitality... Chaoyan gave her the power of life.

Su Mingan and Yueyue were not asked for their opinions. Chao Yan just went his own way... and gave away the authority over his life. Otherwise, even if her lifespan is short, she can still extend her lifespan by absorbing energy. It was herself... who never chose to take other people's lives from beginning to end.

She didn't even say goodbye and disappeared without a trace.

"——God, have we... changed our destiny? Are we still in the third tower?" Su Mingan shouted towards the deserted corner. He still doesn't know whether the thousand years is true or false.

After a moment of silence, the voice of the god came from nowhere:

"The world has thousands of possibilities and thousands of futures."

"I have simulated thousands of possibilities and seen thousands of futures."

"The result is that with a 99.999% probability, civilization will lead to destruction. There are only two or three possibilities that can successfully resist the invasion of overlapping shadows. The success rate is relatively high, or even only one possibility."

"My observation of a thousand years from now is the only possibility that is valid - if civilization wants to live to a thousand years from now, we have only one way to go. Therefore, the observation of a thousand years from now will definitely be realized, even if there are slight deviations, It will not deviate from the general path. Because once this possibility cannot be realized, civilization will not last for a thousand years, and the concept of 'thousand years later' will not exist at all. There will be no 'thousand years later' on the first day of the copy, Su Mingan is in a thousand years later The prerequisite for you to open your eyes in Daoya City does not exist for you to enter the tenth world."

"It's not that there is no other future, but that other futures can only lead to destruction."

"Rather than simulating the future, it is better to say that we are constantly searching among countless 'possibilities' of destruction until we find the only 'possibility' that holds true."

"In Year 0 of the Heavenly Generation, you used the power of time to finalize the only 'possibility' that I observed, and it became an inevitable reality. At the moment of finalization, everything had already happened. Time has nothing to do with us. Words are not really linear, it depends on authority.”

"So from this perspective, you can say... we did not change our destiny, we just made the 'possibility' of the only way to survive happen."

"But you could also say... we changed our destiny. Because you eliminated millions of other paths to destruction."

“The probability of civilization’s destruction is infinitely close to 100%, and the probability of civilization’s survival is infinitely close to 0%.”

"But as long as that path is observed by us and finalized by you - 0% will instantly become 100%. Those remaining tens of thousands of 'possibilities' of destruction will disappear the moment it is finalized."

"As for the third tower, it was Duiying's trap during the observation. I originally wanted to call you back, but Duiying stepped in and tried to force you to become a god. However, luckily you avoided it."

"So, [Whether I killed fate] - this question depends on your subjective perception."

"You think - it was your decision that caused the fate of the old world that originally led to destruction to change. You changed the fate."

"I still think that - since you opened your eyes, you have been in the possibility that 'the old world must survive', so you will definitely finalize this possibility. Therefore, you failed to change your destiny."

"It depends on your mind."

"'Killing fate' is a false proposition in itself. When you want to 'kill fate'... isn't it a kind of fate called 'I must kill fate according to the task'?"

"Su Mingan."

"——[Destiny cannot actually be killed, it always exists objectively. The only thing that can "kill" it is your thoughts]."

…

Su Mingan's pupils shrank.

He suddenly understood everything... He had reversed cause and effect.

Thousands of years later is a simulation, but it’s not really a simulation. It is 100% true. Because if it does not happen, then civilization will not be able to lead to the "thousand years from now". It will lead to the abyss and perish in a certain year, and the concept of "thousands of years from now" will not exist at all.

——It’s not that the gods completely simulated his and the players’ actions before the start of the tenth world.

——It was the actions of him and the players in the tenth world that made the gods confirm that this possibility after a thousand years was completely feasible and that the thousand-year connection could be completed, so this simulation became a reality.

What Su Mingan came out with was the best ending. If it weren't for those fire bearers and resisters, he wouldn't have obtained the heart blood and soul ferry and embarked on the path of resistance. He would probably have stayed peacefully for twenty days after a thousand years. God will take care of everything. The last person to use the power of time will not be Su Mingan, but the old god himself who spent the fourth world game thousands of years ago.

In the end, someone else will be responsible for recovering General Qin's life hard drive. Of course, compared to Su Ming'an doing this, there will be a lot of sacrifices, far more than now, but it is already a way to survive.

The general road remains unchanged, but there will be deviations in details.

Therefore, the "Third Tower" will say "Players cannot change history thousands of years ago" before it is opened.

——Because this is not history at all, but a kind of future.

While Su Mingan was thinking, Yueyue kept biting the chocolate bar, making a clicking sound.

"Sweet." The chocolate bar was handed to her eyes, and Yueyue's lips were filled with cream: "It helps with thinking."

Su Mingan bit down, and the two of them bit into their respective chocolate bars, making a clicking sound together.

"...So, I took the place of the old gods. Even if I don't exist, the old gods will do all this for me." Su Mingan bit the chocolate bar: "Then...why did the old gods disappear out of thin air?"

This is the only doubt.

In the original plan, Su Ming should be on vacation thousands of years later, enjoying the hot springs and concerts prepared by the gods. At the same time, the old gods from thousands of years ago participated in the fourth world game, gained time authority, and finalized the only possibility to do what Su Mingan is doing now.

Su Mingan went against the arrangement of the gods, did everything faster and better, returned to a thousand years ago, and replaced everything of the old gods. So, where did the old gods go?

The voice of the god was mixed with a faint smile: "You can find this answer yourself."

Su Mingan was alert for a while: "Is the old god you?"

God neither affirms nor denies.

"God." Su Mingan asked seriously while biting a chocolate bar: "You are indeed very strong. You can simulate a civilized way of life. But why can't you simulate a civilized way of life? But why can't I resist you? If you told me this from the beginning , maybe there won’t be so many waves between us.”

Looking back now, all the things that had to happen to get to this point, none of them were pointless. The god did not predict that Su Ming'an would be so determined. He wanted to keep Su Ming'an in the civilized bet and did not want Su Ming'an to expose his power, so he had to stop him from going down. It is impossible for Su Ming'an to obey the gods and make things worse. He will still try to complete the plot and get the most perfect level. Under the prying eyes of the overlapping shadows, information cannot be exchanged. Unless this step is reached, the conflicts between them cannot be reconciled.

Everything is set and cannot be changed.

But if the gods had predicted that Su Ming'an would be so determined from the beginning... Su Ming'an wouldn't be so tired.

The god was silent for a while.

He said slowly: "I can indeed simulate a lot. But this is based on... the person being simulated does not have the ability to override me, so there will not be too much deviation."

Su Mingan froze.

He instantly understood what the god was saying.

The gods can predict most of Su Mingan's actions. But the only thing He couldn't simulate was... Su Ming'an's death relapse.

Death returns, overriding the simulated authority of gods.

He thought about it carefully... and found to his horror that it was indeed the case - if there was no death delay, he would have been imprisoned in the gods' home very early, and everything would really go according to the gods' arrangements. It was the return of death that gave him the opportunity to create new "possibilities".

Therefore, the gods could not predict his determination.

...So, this is also destined.

It comes from...the wisdom of an entire civilization.
