Mage Joan

"Is it because you have done well in keeping secrets, or are you simply lucky and escaped again and again? Until you grow strong enough, your enemies will find that you are a threat, but they are no longer enough to hurt You have become your stepping stones."

"Eyes of God" clearly understands Qiao'an's past experience, and even his thoughts are insightful. Every sentence touches the privacy of his heart and has a strong impact on his spirit.

"Your enemies are not all fools. Why are one or two of them all in hindsight? No one takes the initiative to kill you when you are not strong enough. They have not even considered kidnapping your relatives and friends and threatening you to submit to it. Such despicable things. Means, they are never stingy with other enemies, so why are you special?"

"Why are you so withdrawn, inferior and vain, and even cold-blooded by nature, you will always meet teachers and friends who treat you sincerely along the way, selflessly take care of you, love you, and warm your soul. The brilliance of human nature helps you fight the violent beast in your heart, so that you can finally defeat the evil nature derived from the strange blood, and will not become a solitary monster?"

"You know that you are not a very attractive and social person. Why do so many people like you and help you? What is the reason?"

"You feel that many things are not right. Sometimes you feel that you are unfortunate, and sometimes you feel that the whole world is surrounding you. You even suspect that this world is just a product of fiction, as your friend from the Demon Eye Nest declared. You think that this argument cannot be verified or falsified, so you refuse to believe it, but you don’t understand what the problem is, you can only think that this is the result of fate.”

"Once a person believes in fate, it is difficult not to embrace religion."

"You also know that believing in a religion, believing in a deity, as a spiritual sustenance, will help you get rid of your inner anxiety, but your vanity does not allow you to seek this kind of ‘cheap relief’."

"Even if you don't know it, there is such an arrogant view deep in your heart: even the illiterate who is illiterate can gain inner peace through religious beliefs. I am an amazing scholar. Anti-intellectual village women and peasants are in the company, so don't I just become an intellectual for nothing?"

"I didn't, I'm not..."

The young mage's face flushed, trying to explain.

However, "God's Eye" ignored him at all and went on.

"All the above coincidences make you feel unable to let go, and derive two explanations that are logical to you."

"An explanation appeals to probabilism. Everything in the world, including the universe and gods, was originally produced by the emergence of random events. In this world where random rates dominate everything, everything can happen, and many small probability events are concentrated. In you, it's just a coincidence."

"Another explanation appeals to pedigree theory. The reason why you are so special must be that there is some kind of internal cause that quietly plays a role."

"You look at yourself and suspect that in addition to the weird bloodline of Ekadna, you have some kind of stronger and more secret lineage. Therefore, you can always explode your potential at a critical moment, and you can always rely on The special charm derived from descent will be helped by the nobles to help you tide over the difficulties."

"Both of these two assumptions make sense. For you, the former is undoubtedly a better explanation, but the latter makes you feel ashamed, because you have always felt that you can achieve today's achievements, mainly relying on personal hard work, if Adopting the second hypothesis falls into the pedigree theory, like a rich second generation who eats inheritance, what else is there to pretend to be a self-reliant, motivated youth?"

"You think that your success is 99% perspiration plus 1% talent. If the truth is that your hard work and perspiration actually account for only 1% of the credit, then the diligence and ability to make up for your weaknesses that you have always admired has become a joke?"

The series of questions of "God's Eye", like a sharp scalpel, cut open the knot of Qiao An's unwillingness to face, and made him feel very embarrassed, almost into anger.

"Dear ‘Eye of God’, I admit that you have seen through my inner anxiety and the analysis is very reasonable, but you can only ask questions, but you can’t solve them."

"You said that I would rather believe that my destiny depends on random emergence than the pedigree theory, but the former is indeed more credible than the latter, unless you can prove that I really have a pedigree that is magical enough to attract good luck."

Facing the young mage's gunpowder counterattack, a mocking smile appeared in the eyes of "God's Eye".

"What I will say to you next is not necessarily true. I hope you will treat this as a thought experiment and don't care too much. However, if it leaves a shadow in your heart and deepens your doubts, I can only say very much. Regrettably, after all, this is a trial of your voluntary choice, and all consequences are borne by you."

Qiao An feels hard to breathe, inexplicably heart palpitations, as if a catastrophe is about to fall on him.

"Child, you still have a chance to refuse this trial."

"Don't worry, I'm ready." Qiao An gritted his teeth and decided to accept the test.

"Very well, please remember that what we are going to say next may not be true or false, believe it or not."

The more "Eyes of God" emphasizes this, the more nervous Qiao An is, and most of the secrets that the other party will reveal in his subconscious mind can't be faked.

"Just now I talked about pedigree theory and touched your scars. You seem to be very disgusted with using a person’s innate ancestry to explain acquired achievements. However, my child, you probably didn’t realize that there is a possibility that is more fascinating than pedigree theory. You collapse."

The deep words of "Tears of God" echoed in Qiao An's mind.

"Don’t you, like Ishtar, believe that this world is a product of fiction, and even myself is a fictional character. All the experiences, even thoughts and thoughts in my life, are all affected by the so-called high-dimensional creatures. Manipulation, like a puppet, or words written by a playwright?"

Qiao An couldn't help asking back.

"Do you think this is ridiculous?"

"It's ridiculous indeed, there are no high-dimensional creatures in the world? Who can prove its existence to me?"

"Good question, then do you think I am a kiwi creature?"

"this……"

Qiao An was speechless for a while, feeling like he had hit the muzzle of his head.

"Eyes of God" didn't take advantage of this angle and instead proposed another way of explaining Qiao'an's life experience.

"You feel that your luck has always been good and counterintuitive. Have you ever considered the possibility that you are not an ordinary person, but the incarnation of destiny itself."
