Chapter 143 Amazing rewards of defense mode

Old Zhou Baiyu was a little surprised, because he seemed to hear the voice-over of another himself.

As for Xinzhou Baiyu, his expression gradually became serious:

"I have been thinking that the moment you appear, it means that you have traveled through time and come to a certain moment that you have experienced..."

"Then logically speaking, you should also see another you at this moment."

"But you haven't encountered it, right? It's precisely because you haven't encountered it that you don't know that the source of pollution will grow rapidly later, so that it will become a scourge with great influence."

"So...in order to prevent the impact of this disaster and return everything to the beginning, you chose to use your privileges."

"That is to say, in your 'history', there is always only you."

Old Zhou Baiyu nodded, and he immediately understood what new Zhou Baiyu wanted to express.

This sounds a bit convoluted, but it is one of the many "bugs" in the time loop.

It's like using a mirror to look at another mirror, instantly forming an endless cycle.

If the old Zhou Baiyu meets the new Zhou Baiyu, then in Zhou Baiyu's "history", he will meet himself once.

If he had met himself, he would not have allowed Ryan to become bigger and stronger. Naturally, he would not have used his privileges to go back to the past.

This is the paradox.

This paradox is likely to create a closed loop with no starting point and no end.

But until Xinzhou Baiyu heard those words——

Sister Lin asked us to meet each other after completing the mission.

At that moment, combined with old Zhou Baiyu's experience, new Zhou Baiyu understood the essence of the matter.

Listening to the new Zhou Baiyu's speech, the old Zhou Baiyu also roughly understood what he meant at this moment:

"Yes, I have been hiding and not showing up, not daring to influence history... I always thought this was a real time travel, but now I know that everything is still affected by 'us'."

Xinzhou Baiyu smiled:

"You should shave off your beard. Then I will like this feeling more. The feeling of communicating with myself is really great. It cannot be said to be a tacit understanding, it is simply a connection between the two minds."

After he finished speaking, he sat on the ground.

Old Zhou Baiyu nodded and sat on the ground.

He had to admit that communicating with himself was a very worry-free and effortless thing.

Both of them spoke to the point.

Both of them understood the essence of time travel - it was recruitment.

Yes, this is not time travel.

Just like every recruitment in the advance world that I have participated in before.

For example, Anya on the doomsday cruise ship, many forerunners have experienced Anya's timeline.

But the forerunners did not meet at the same time, because the recruitment was equivalent to a parallel world copy.

In the end, what can be anchored and become real history is the one that has the best impact on mankind.

It's actually the same this time. The reason why old Zhou Baiyu didn't meet an "older" Zhou Baiyu at a specific time is because essentially...

He just came with a new copy.

And when the impact in this copy is more beneficial to mankind than the original result...

Then the copy will overwrite the original reality and become the new reality.

This is a new time-travel mechanism constructed by the new god "The God of Games and Entertainment" that is not affected by the old god "The God of Time and Space".

The more we rely on time, the more beneficial it will be to the lineage of the Old Gods.

Despite the arrogant words of the God of Games and Entertainment, he once threatened to turn the old gods into game props in the War of the Gods.

So much so that it quickly became a rule, but in the New Gods, it is indeed a very powerful existence.

Of course, this rule was obviously used by the old gods. That’s why so many forerunners came and went in and out of a bunch of timelines...

There are no bugs in the world.

Old Zhou Baiyu suddenly understood the deeper thoughts of new Zhou Baiyu.

New Zhou Baiyu also patted Old Zhou Baiyu on the shoulder at this time and said with a smile:

"Can you first tell me what impact this pollution source has had? What have you experienced?"

Old Zhou Baiyu began to talk about his experience at that node.

After Xinzhou Baiyu heard the whole story, he gradually became a little wilted:

"So, do you have an answer to that question now that you have thought about it?"

"When the person we're trying to save isn't worth saving."

"Actually, when I rang the bell, I had thought about this question, but I secretly changed a concept, so I could make a decisive move. But I still didn't think clearly about the answer to that question."

Old Zhou Baiyu shook his head and said:

"I have been dormant here for a long time, trying my best to eliminate my presence every day and not let anyone notice. Fortunately, I have a special physique, so most humans hate me and are too lazy to pay attention to me."

"I thought about it for a long time during this process, and I don't know if this is the answer."

Xinzhou Baiyu said:

"All ears."

After a slight pause, Lao Zhou Baiyu said slowly:

"I love this world, but I have to accept its bad sides."

"No more?"

"No more."

Baiyu is silent in the new week.

He originally thought that the answer would be very long, but perhaps he was responding to the principle of simplicity. Old Zhou Baiyu had thought about the question "is it worth saving" for so long, but the answer turned out to be such a simple sentence.

They are essentially the same person.

So Xinzhou Baiyu also quickly showed a relieved smile:

"Thank you, I seem to understand."

Hibernating in this city full of strange stories for more than half a year, old Zhou Baiyu lived like a tramp, and no one cared about the tramp's behavior.

He always observed the city calmly, and later discovered...

In his own world, people were distorted by Ryan's sincerity and deprived of the ability to identify lies, so what he saw was the pure crushing of honest people by those who could lie.

There are examples of this in reality, but in reality, it is precisely because people have the ability to identify lies and the ability to lie...that we understand more and more that lies cannot be abused.

The existence of lies happens to be the cornerstone of "sincerity".

What Ryan did was hollow out the foundation stone, causing the entire world to fall rapidly.

He deprives people of their power to realize "evil".

Because extreme good will bring about extreme evil. It is precisely because people can realize evil that they can understand the true value of good.

Old Zhou Baiyu said:

"It's not like mom and dad don't know that there is another... evil side in us that is a little bit extravagant."

"But they won't think that this child is not worthy of love or saving."

"It is precisely because we are constantly made aware of the horror of evil that when that person jumped down and hit us in front of us, we felt that it shouldn't be like this..."

"So the side of us that escapes evil will slowly fade away from evil and become those notes in our eyes that escape from coquettishness."

"This is how they redeem us, this is the meaning."

"Okay. I understand. Let's do it." Xinzhou Baiyu said.

Old Zhou Baiyu was puzzled:

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

New Zhou Baiyu is still smiling:

"I actually understand the essence of this time travel. It is not a time travel in the true sense, but after the recruitment... I have been doing ideological work for myself."

Seeing such a smile, Old Zhou Baiyu became serious. He said coldly:

"I'm not a saint, so neither are you."

"This sentence is also true in reverse. Of course, I am indeed not a saint. But this is a recruitment, and I understand Anya's mood at that time."

What is it like for a person with the characteristics of a great speaker to be emotionally aroused by someone who also has the characteristics of a great speaker?
