Chapter 35: Causation, Cycles and Eternity

The battle is over quickly , as the Tacoma member said, they were fully prepared to deal with it, and Remedios’ resistance was meaningless.

The entire collection room was destroyed in a mess, with countless broken collections scattered on the ground, and large scorch marks blackened the entire ceiling.

“It’s a pity for the collection in this room.”

The old man in the linen robe said a little regretfully.

He said and walked to another Dragon Crystal glass showcase, but he didn’t see any movement, and the seal on it came off on its own.

He carefully took out the misty silver white crown from it, and walked slowly to Remedios.

Remedios looked towards the seven elliptical light cocoons floating in the midair over the other party. All seven of her arrows that could automatically return to the quiver after being shot were all destroyed. The other party was stagnant in the light cocoon.

“Why…”

She asked with difficulty.

“Why didn’t the last arrow hit you?”

The other party squatted down and his eyes were calm as water in admiration:

“Feng Rui” , Demon breaking, burning, weakening, purifying, dispelling, karma, this weapon built by the seven Void Kings for their first generation of gods is really powerful. Especially the last arrow was handed by the lender Sherlock. The arrows created are the sure-fire arrows that can hit the enemy 100% on the causal level, even more irresistible than the spell [Declaration] of the Divine Domain level.”

Silk was Terra Riel who was killed with that last arrow.

The old man said, took Remedios’ hand, and pulled her up from the half-squat state.

“But unfortunately, the possibility of being injured by you is not included in the circular items I wrote in advance.”

Remedios looked at him suspiciously. Understand what it means.

She wasn’t injured in the short, intense battle earlier—in fact, the opponent hadn’t really attacked her.

The old man just stood there, defusing all the attacks on him one after another with ease, until at the end, he raised his hand slightly, letting a heavy pressure push Remedios down. Can’t stand up straight.

“Let’s talk as we walk.”

After pulling Remedios up, the heavy pressure on her disappeared instantly, and the other party was very gentlemanly letting go. He grabbed his hands, then turned around and walked out the door… Not even the slightest bit of vigilance that Remedios could rush up immediately, she tied Liu Liyue’s bowstring around his neck.

But after a moment of hesitation, she lowered her bow and followed.

The fog filled the window, and the old man said as he walked:

“Humans abstracted the originally abstract elements of creation into the image of the seven Great Saint spirits. For a long time, , we are all looking at what they do with a joke mentality, thinking that it is a symbol of ignorance.”

“After all, according to our theory, after the creation of the world, those who came from the light The essence flowing from the realm becomes the constitution of the present world itself. Rules, life, self-awareness, emotion, exchange, logic, memory… Their Holy Spirit is just a piece of the past that has been pieced together. And those Holy Spirit wills are just hallucinations imagined by mortals…”

“I don’t need to take another general education class now.”

Remedios hit cut off his words.

“Okay… let’s just say the conclusion, those ‘Holy Spirits’ including their wills are real, and there is no so-called ‘past’ for them.”

The other party replied with a very solemn tone.

“What do you mean?”

Remedios asked in confusion.

“Time is layered, Her Royal Highness. Some things are Eternal Existence, some things are in endless loop, and some things are running all the way to the end of the world…that’s why Ceremony is the root cause of magic, and the true secret of the Void Kings’ immortality.”

“Is time…layered?”

She still doesn’t understand What means.

“There are three levels of time—eternal time, cyclic time, and causal time.”

The other person’s patient explanation.

“Cause and effect time is well understood. The arrow you shot earlier is the best example of causal time. You shoot an arrow, and then the arrow sinks into my heart, and I die. The soul turns into style and melts into the air, Maggots and fungi ignited the remaining life in my body to sustain life, and the memory of my life turned into an undead, and finally was gradually forgotten… Under the causal time, things always develop along a one-way arrow. The dead cannot be brought back to life, the things that have passed cannot be brought back, and even the greatest miracles in the world can only affect everything that is still alive.”

“I think you’re talking nonsense.”

Remedios commented.

At this point, they had already stepped over the steps and strolled to the atrium corridor leading to the Throne Room of Moonlight City.

“Sometimes, we also call causal time mortal time.”

Ignoring Remedios’ speech, the old man concluded.

“So, you’ve discovered a great eternal truth—that if you kill you die?”

Reminded of this phrase that someone often talks about as an ignorant , For some reason, Remedios had digged a sense of humor from her dried-up heart after a long time.

It may be the first time in nearly a hundred years that she did not stiffly pull up her facial muscles to imitate, but asked with a smile from her heart:

“And then?”

“Then?”

The old man in the linen robe asked back, with a smile on his face.

“Think about it, are all things in this world a one-way arrow along time, moving forward without turning back?”

The old man’s words Ling Lei The smile on Medeis’ face disappeared like a snowflake falling into warm water.

Admiring the expression on Remedios’ face with satisfaction, the old man asked himself:

“The change of the seasons, the alternation of day and night, the gain and loss of the moon phase, the rise and fall of the tide. Falling…they’re all in a loop, never ending. If causal time is an axis that keeps moving forward, then cyclic time is a ring connected end to end.”

“Your It means…”

Remedios seemed to have grasped the meaning of the other party.

“We had a debate with the Holy Spirit Church when they were at their peak. At that time, the toughest question we asked was ‘Where is the Holy Spirit of your faith? At that time, this question made the Patriarch of the Holy Spirit Church very annoyed, and even finally drove all our people away by flying into a rage out of humiliation. However, today, our research results are to help them Answers the question—they are on another level of time, in the cycle of everything. We can’t see them in person, because we can’t see the full picture of the cycle of time from a mortal point of view.”

The old man said slowly.

Remedios was silent for a moment, then asked:

“What if I understand this? To increase or decrease a season? Or to lengthen or shorten the time of day and night ?”

Things like this can’t be done and don’t make sense.

Hearing what Remedios said, the other party called the head:

“No, I use seasons or day and night as an example, just so that you can better Just understand the concept. In fact, what we call ‘destiny’ is also part of cyclic time. The repetition of things that happened in the past, the constant reincarnation of a tragic fate, these are all manifestations of cycles. Countless people have been high Call yourself to control your own destiny, but very few people can understand what destiny is – destiny is reincarnation, it is a cycle, it is something that has already happened, and it will come again later.”

“This theory At the same time, this also explains the origin of the immortality of the Void Kings. Death is the end, and the end is something that belongs only to causal time. They are in the cycle of time, with neither beginning nor end, just continuously continuously Repeating itself. Of course, not just Void King, but all beings with ‘God’ in their name. Holy Spirit, believing in God, and…”

“Spirit. ”

Remedios cut him off, then she stopped.

At this time, the two of them had reached the door of the throne room, and a faint mist was continuously seeping out along the crack of the door.

This is where the Mist Spirit lives.

The Phoenix flame ceremony, which controls the birth and death of the high Elf Race, is the reincarnation of the soul, and he makes those skills reappear on the body of the elves of the later generations.

Those illusions that appear in the thick fog of Awa are also the reincarnation of the past.

Looking at the door, Remedios thought so.

“Can we enter the cycle time through spirits?”

Remedios asked.

“You can even weave your own cyclic time phenomenon.”

The other person pointed to him.

“For example, this person in front of you has now sublimated into a phenomenon, a phenomenon that guides all the rulers of Ava as an advisor.”

Reme Daisy couldn’t help opening her eyes.

“That’s why you won’t be given the ‘arrow of cause and effect’…but didn’t you research this theory not long ago? And the members of the Tacoma are the rulers of Ava. Consultants have a history of tens of thousands of years, you can’t…”

Speaking of this, Remedios stopped as if she suddenly thought of something.

And the other party looked towards her with a smile:

“Do you understand?”

Remedios, who had recovered from the shock, slowly said. Nod :

“You who are in the cyclic time don’t care about the beginning and the end.”

Because time is hierarchical, and cause and effect is the concept of mortals.

His career as a consultant to Ava Island began before his birth and will continue after his death.

Remedios raised her eyes and looked towards the magnificent gate of the throne.

“You gave me an offer earlier to incorporate my will into the Mist Spirit.”

She pressed the hand without the bow to her. on the door.

“And after I admitted that it was just a chip I wanted to win over Ys City, you came over, is that the reason? You want me to be in the loop time.”

Saying that, she turned back and looked towards the old man.

“The last step of all god-becoming ceremony is to open the gap in the cycle time and free yourself from the constraints of cause and effect. Before that, whether it is accumulating magic power or spreading beliefs, in the end, it can only be created. Powerful mortals, this is only a quantitative change. Beyond the causal time, it is a complete qualitative change.”

The old man answered the question.

“You mean the Eighth Holy Spirit?”

Remedios, who vaguely guessed what the other party was going to say, asked tentatively.

“The assassination of the mission, the first expedition, and even the current expedition. Food, land, and belief are just excuses. Their real purpose is only this – to use the spirit of Avazhou. Entering the cycle time.”

The other party answered nodded.

Remedios raised her tone and asked:

“Why did you tell me now?”

“Because I only knew now. You forgot Well, the theory of time stratification is only being proposed now.”

Remedios tried to understand the logic of cyclic time, but she gave up rationally after two seconds.

“So, what exactly do you want me to do?”

“The enlightener of the Eighth Order is coming, and she needs to communicate with the mist spirit through you. Terra · Riel deliberately died in your hands, leaving his memories in the fog. Now, as long as a deed, he can complete his unfinished business 800 years ago.”

Listen At this point, a wry smile appeared on Remedios’ face.

“Is this what you said earlier about wishing to witness the eighth piece of creation?”

“There is eternity above the cyclic time, and that is where the all-god ‘Ma’ exists. The real throne. And the eighth element of creation is the most indispensable part of completing the creation model.”

“I have no reason to sacrifice my life for your beliefs.”

Remedios decisively refused.

Even if the other party controls her, ceremony must be completed by her active cooperation.

“The other party promised to give up the invasion of Ava Continent after success.”

As if he had expected it, the old man threw his chips directly.

“How can I guarantee it?”

“He will incorporate it into his eternal cycle as a phenomenon, and will never really attack Avazhou.”

p>

Hearing this, Remedios was silent for a moment, but finally she hooked the head.

“Why?”

Hearing the unexpected answer, he asked in confusion.

“Because if you want to witness the Eighth Holy Spirit, I have a better proposal.”

…………

“You… Are you sure you want to do this?”

“One thousand and eight years is a perfect number.”

“…”

“Wish me Good luck.”
