"Maybe, but this kind of thing cannot be changed by just talking."
For the first time, the old man did not raise any objection to Wei Cheng's point of view.
Although they didn't exchange a few words from the beginning of the conversation...
"But anyone can do it just to talk the talk, but changing the inherent outcome is not as simple as you think."
"People of your generation may feel that history is fragile, and that as long as you know the established development, you can easily reverse the course of the world line."
"Some people may tell you that time is like a delicate piece of art, beautiful, but very fragile. Even a slight change may lead to huge changes."
"But they were wrong."
"History is not as fragile as you think...it is even very stubborn, you can think so."
"Everything you have changed, or you can say everything I have changed, is like a tributary of fate, which will eventually be converged onto the main line, never changing."
"You try your best to change it, try to reshape it, you try your best to flap your wings, and try to promote the known outcome through the chain reaction of butterfly effects.
But the truth is that you have successfully changed the existing plot and rewritten established history, but when you look at the future, you will always face the same situation... and it is also your own failure."
What the old man narrated was probably his own experience.
In the later stages, the Eye of Truth already has the power to see into the future.
He walked out of the park and corrected the past again and again, but still only saw the ruined ending in the future.
Wei Cheng wanted to convince him, but it wasn't that simple.
Seeing that Old Wei was about to speak, he was immediately interrupted by the old man.
"You don't have to explain anything to me or try to convince me."
"If you fail, you will also go down this road and continue to look for new people who can bear the legacy, looking for the next us!"
"Of course. I also hope you can succeed and end this doomsday fate!"
The old man said indifferently: "My era has passed. What I can do now is to give you the legacy from the past. As for whether you can take it away... it depends on your own ability.
If you can't even remove the fragments left in the dream, don't discuss your qualifications to change the future with me."
Wei Cheng simply stopped talking.
He, the "Protagonist Wei", is not good at talking, which is a talent that only a real winner in the two-dimensional life can control. He does not think he can convince the old man to change his mind. The other party's determination may be beyond anyone's imagination.
Then there is only one thing he can do.
Take the third fragment of the Soul Lock.
And he has no other options.
"So, as long as I can tame the Soul Chain and collect all the fragments, I will be considered to have your approval?" Wei Cheng rose into the sky, gradually moving away from the eight tombstones that reached the sky, and came to the one hovering in the air.
Beside the bloody chain.
"At least that means you've taken the first step."
The old man nodded and said: "If you can't even take this step, don't forget to change the established history."
Wei Cheng took a deep breath again.
He reached out to the fragment of the chain.
The harsh and noisy noise reached my ears again.
At this moment, those voices were no longer as gentle as they were at the beginning, and even the most basic modifications had disappeared, constantly impacting Wei Cheng's mind.
Under the baptism of these sounds, Wei Cheng seemed to have seen purgatory, saw corpses floating everywhere, saw that he was unable to lower his hands, and could only ignore everything and enter the end.
In a daze, he seemed to see a strong young man who looked exactly like himself, holding a bloody chain, standing at the end of the vast wilderness, facing the darkness opposite the starry sky.
Suddenly, the young man turned around.
"Do you have the consciousness to change?"
The voice of tranquility resounded through my heart.
"I don't know if it can be changed..."
Wei Cheng gritted his teeth, enduring the endless pressure released from the young man, and walked step by step towards the fragments of the chain.
"At least, I will try my best! Try my best to change the existing ending!"
All that has not happened yet.
Ignoring the young man's obstruction, Wei Cheng put his hand on the fragment of the blood chain!
In an instant, a bloody storm enveloped him.
A huge mental torrent and chaotic memories were implanted in Wei Cheng's mind at this moment.
"..."
The old man stood silently aside, crossing his arms and staring at the scene calmly.
This was Wei Cheng's own test.
In other words, it is the assessment of the fragments of his soul left by his previous life in this life.
If he can't even bear the disaster of staying here, how can he expect Wei Chengzhen to fulfill the agreement and rewrite the predetermined ending.
From beginning to end, what was reflected in the old man's eyes was still the ruined future.
He watched Wei Cheng being swept and swallowed by the blood-colored storm, and remained unmoved. He just stood there. The mental impact, which was extremely fatal to thousands of living beings, was as useless as the breeze blowing on him.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed across the old man's eyes.
boom!
A beam of light with red brilliance rose into the sky.
The bloody storm subsided.
Instead, there was a man who fell at the end of the chain and closed his eyes.
"Did you fail..." A ray of gloom passed between the old man's brows.
You can't even withstand the energy of the third fragment, and you still dare to talk nonsense about changing the existing outcome?
What an overestimating person!
I really don’t understand why the soul fragments from that life chose to attach themselves to Wei Cheng...
However, before the old man turned around, he was shocked again.
Just at the last moment, without any warning, the future in his eyes briefly changed.
Even if it was just for a moment, at that moment, the originally planned ending did undergo some changes.
The old man looked at Wei Cheng again.
This time, he discovered that the other two chain fragments in Wei Cheng's hands were being spliced with the fragment wrapping the continent...
As for Wei Cheng himself, it was probably because he was completely focused on splicing the chains that he closed his eyes and was temporarily unable to respond to the outside world, right?
Realizing this, the old man decided to continue waiting.
Time passed by like this minute by minute.
Splicing the chains is a long process, but from the moment the cross sections of the chains fit together completely, the eyelids that were originally closed were opened again.
Wei Cheng opened his eyes.
The deep light disappeared in a flash, and the whole person's aura became much more mature and steady.
"This is the first step of success."
The old man's voice rang in his ears again, and he changed the subject: "...but you cannot bear the consequences of failure, even if it is just one failure."
"Then it's okay if you don't fail." Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows and took back the chain.
At this moment, although the Haunted Soul Lock was still in a state of only two fragments, Wei Cheng could sense that the third fragment had already established a special connection with himself. As long as he returned to reality, he could lock the third fragment.
The location of the three fragments and conquering them.
And now...he has more important things to do."
"The moment I touched the fragments, I saw a lot of memories."
Wei Cheng walked up to the old man calmly and asked, "And I also have some questions I want to ask you."
