Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 42 Sheep Mountain, Human Mountain, both are strange mountains!

rumbling
  Amidst the tremors of the earth, Li Pu and Katerina have reached the last floor.

"This is our 'last fortress'." Katerina said: "See our friends one last time. They will answer all your questions."

This is just a laboratory of a few hundred square meters, with chaotic bookshelves and alchemy tables crowded together, and messy documents spread in every corner of the hall.

The once busy and noisy hall is now empty. The documents on the ground were already covered with a layer of dust.

On both sides of a long desk in the front, five unusually large and strange coffins were placed in a messy manner.

These coffins are all half-open, and you can vaguely see some strange fossil remains inside, as well as some puppet parts of unknown materials.

Near the coffin, there are five strange-shaped semi-humanoid puppets. They are like five tall and twisted goddess statues, staying quietly near the coffin.

They were either standing or lying down, but they didn't emit any breath.

A misshapen figure was busy in the center of the desk.

The heavy clothes completely covered her swollen and mutilated body, and her swollen face had been deliberately wrapped in gauze.

[She specifically covered her body to prevent you from seeing her current appearance. 】

[But even though she was wrapped in several thick coats, she was still disgustingly ugly. 】

[The once majestic and sacred white swan no longer exists, replaced by a filthy and painful body. 】

[She is no longer the serious and beautiful woman]

The narrator thought that a steel needle had pierced Li Pu's heart. He had guessed the identity of this woman from the narrator's puzzle.

Solemn, sacred, serious and beautiful. These are adjectives reserved for a beautiful lady who participated in a 'photo group'.

If it is another person, the keywords should be described as 'majesty, reason, cunning, fox/lion', which would be more consistent.

Glancing at the five lifeless puppets, Li Pu sighed in his heart.

Katerina said that Margaret is still alive, but she has never seen her...or rather she has.

These five god puppets, the parts on the ground, and the coffins should all be part of her body.

Ayesha and Margaret both met a bad ending.

Although, Li Pu kept saying that the people in this world have nothing to do with him. But when he saw Ayesha and Margaret in this state, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He did not mistake the identity of the woman in front of him, but the moment she felt Li Pu's gaze, the woman knew that Nip had guessed her identity.

The woman's body swayed slightly, and a sad and desperate emotion was revealed from her blind eyes.

But just a moment later, her dull gaze was replaced by firm belief.

She must complete her mission.

"My all-knowing and all-powerful Savior, you have finally returned. I think you must have understood everything, but you still have many doubts - even if you already know the answers."

The woman had lost the ability to speak. What Li Pu heard was a strange knocking sound in the hall.

But Li Pu understood the meaning.

Li Pu sighed and said:
  "Were you the ones who made those 'calming potions' on my bed?"

Li Pu asked the first doubt in his mind: "The reason why I haven't woken up yet is because of these potions?"

"Savior, your wish is to go home. And we listened to your oracles and carried out your oracles." The woman replied.

"Then why have I been taking it for ten years?!"

Scenes of stories about Andrew, Mary, Amy, etc. came back to Li Pu. The emotions that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time finally broke out at this moment: "Why do so many people die until we become It’s this look that wakes me up!!”

Ten minutes ago, this guy was arguing that it had nothing to do with him. As expected, he always meant what he said.

"We never thought about summoning you again." The woman's answer was very calm: "And it is also the decision of all of us to keep you asleep."

The woman's answer was beyond Li Pu's expectation and left him stunned for a long time. It once made him wonder if he had heard wrongly.

"Even if things have come to this point, you have never thought of waking me up?"

"Never thought about it."

"Why?" Li Pu couldn't understand.

"Because you said you didn't want to take care of it anymore."

Li Pu suddenly remembered the words he said before he fell into coma: "Just because of this sentence?"

"Your Majesty, this is your oracle."

Ayesha said: "We need you extremely, and we accept all your decisions."

Li Pu was speechless.

After a long time, Li Pu said: "Even if I am indifferent to everything you have gone through, even if I want your world to disappear, do you still think that I am your savior?"

"Savior, you are joking again."

The woman stopped talking.

"."

rumbling
  The last fortress also began to shake.

The bursts of sound reminded Li Pu that time was running out.

"Ayesha, you are truly a hopeless lunatic. No matter how outrageous, you will believe me - except that I am not your god."

With a long sigh, Li Pu said: "Tell the Lord what you have experienced. Your Lord is very concerned about it." The woman did not know the 'last truth', she just stated the facts. 】

[The first half of the facts did not surprise Li Pu. But the second half shocked him - because it was a paradox. 】

Just as Li Pu guessed, in the ten years after he fell asleep, the other six old gods woke up one after another.

The awakening of the old gods is the reason for the chaos of the world's laws.

The chaos of the laws will lead to the collapse of the world - but this is not the reason why the world ends.

"If the true historical trend is followed, the old gods cannot be killed. Because they are in any dimension and time and space."

The woman mentioned the word 'official history' and said: "But your appearance seems to have changed all history - the sword-wielding Archangel Promis and the suffering Archangel Femis, killed Six Old Gods.”

"Official history?" Li Pu interrupted Ayesha's statement: "What should be the real direction of official history?"

The woman twisted her deformed body, looked at Li Pu with her blind eyes, and told the first story that made Li Pu's scalp numb.

"In the official history, the gods will allow the seven old gods to awaken and the world to be annihilated. Waiting for the emergence of a new world."

"When the world collapses under the laws of chaos, the masters of the old world will destroy everything and then fall into an eternal sleep - but a new world based on the seven old masters will be re-created by 'them'."

"It's like a book that is constantly being read over and over again." The woman said word by word: "It's also like pieces of toilet paper that are constantly being thrown into the pit and then put back into the toilet."

"This is official history."

The official history from the woman's mouth made Li Pu's scalp numb, and he began to wonder if he had experienced official history countless times.

"Nip, you only experienced canon once."

Katerina winked at Li Pu and said: "Every time the world goes from desolation to the birth of civilization, it takes billions of years, and the seven of us summoned you here a hundred thousand years ago - you have only experienced I have experienced an official history once, and I have only experienced a small part of this official history."

Li Pu, whose scalp was numb just now, rolled his eyes fiercely after hearing Katerina's crazy words.

He thought in his mind: 'However, the reason why the new world cannot be born again is indeed me - the holy angel was driven crazy by me ten years ago. No longer able to participate in the creation of a new world. '
  The woman continued: "We have always believed that as long as the old gods die, the end will pass. But the law has not restored order, and six large voids of nothingness have appeared in the world."

Li Pu could roughly guess what happened next.

The world exists based on the old gods. When the old gods die, the world will naturally be gone. So Chaos began to devour the world, and the six voids began to spread.

Therefore, Tadar was the last to disappear. Because Katerina is just crazy and not dead, there is no void here. Instead, it became the last refuge.

——Li Pu’s guesses above were all correct, but what Ayesha said next made him shiver all over.

"Those continents disappeared inexplicably—along with the territory drawn on the map and everyone's memories."

"It's as if nothing about them exists."

A thought suddenly flashed in Li Pu's mind: 'It's as if those stories were never written in that book, as if the readers had never read there.'
  [Li Pu made a very appropriate metaphor. 】

"So, if we follow the trajectory of official history, we people may not even know about the destruction of the world. Maybe this will also be a kind of happiness."

The woman said sadly: "But Katerina remembers all this. With her help, we discovered the spread of chaos. People from all over the world began to gather here to try to solve this problem, but it was too late. .”

"What if the old gods don't wake up? Will the world not be destroyed?" Li Pu asked.

He began to think about the problem from the perspective of the god outside the paper - for the person on the paper, the story that happened can no longer be changed. But for people outside the book, the book can be turned to the previous page, and the story can be restarted.

As a true protagonist who can influence the direction of history, he believes that he can solve problems.

But the woman's words revealed extreme despair, and the strange truth hidden in them almost shattered his cognition.

"Yeah, if the old gods don't wake up, maybe the world won't be destroyed."

The woman shook her head and said: "So, we once assumed the premise that 'the old gods will not wake up' and conducted an argument. We also got the result."

"But the result is extremely weird. Because the conclusions are all right and all wrong."

The truth the woman told next made Li Pu's hair stand on end.

"Because, as long as the old gods wake up in the future, they have already woken up in the past - there are effects first, and causes later!"

"How is that possible! This is a paradox!"

"That's right." The woman said, "This is the 'Paradox of Tartarus'."

[In the doomsday era, there was a madman named Tartarus who came up with a paradox when he was studying the problem of "people have no memory of the disappeared continental plates". 】

【He said:】

["The world did not collapse because the old gods awakened, but collapsed because the old gods "must awaken"."]

["They are destined to wake up, and once they wake up, they in the past, now, and in the future will all wake up. Therefore, the world has collapsed long ago! But we have never discovered it!"]

["When we don't realize that the old gods are awake, the old gods are sleeping. When we don't realize that the world is in a state of collapse, the world is intact."]

"So when we suddenly observed (ten years ago) that the world no longer existed, everything ceased to exist."]

This paradox makes people extremely frightened. Because even though they don't understand it, these words sound scary.

Li Pu was different from them, he was even more afraid. Because he is half-informed and knows that these words are not only based on evidence, but also that scientists in the real world have done experiments.

"Observation changes the results. Isn't this a double-slit experiment?"

Li Pu's hair stood on end as he suddenly turned around and looked at the camera: "For some beings, is our world also a piece of paper?!"

[Sheep Mountain, Human Mountain, both are strange mountains! 】

[Parchment, human paper, both are books! 】
