Lu Mingfei was furious, he was completely frightened.
Don't blame him for being too stressed. He is someone who has personally experienced the doomsday illusion. The kind of depression and despair, and the ending that can be seen at a glance will leave a psychological shadow on anyone who sees it.
It was the ruins of human civilization, the end of the hybrid race. I don’t know how many years ago the dragon clan overlooked the earth and enslaved all races. The era has once again ushered in a chapter. Maybe for other "things", the yellow sand and ocean covered The ending is a place of bliss, but for Lu Mingfei, it is an out-and-out hell. Even from thousands of light years away, he can smell the suffocating breath.
"No, no, no, you are definitely bluffing me. Didn't you just say that no one can affect the cognitive world of other branches? Now here comes another pruning and closer approach." Lu Mingfei waved his hand to reject this possibility. Obviously he was really frightened and tried his best to prove that this was another little devil's joke.
But gradually, I found that Lu Mingze was just sitting there and watching him quietly, his golden eyes reflecting the sunset and his panic, and his beautiful face seemed to be adorned with indelible helplessness and sorrow.
"Are you...really not joking?" Lu Mingfei's voice slowly lowered, and he stared at Lu Mingze intently, trying to find even the slightest trace of a joke on his face.
"Brother, it seems that you believe in the existence of 'Yuktrashil'. It seems that that accident still gained you something. At least it saved me a lot of effort in explaining it." Lu Mingze chuckled. He said, "That is indeed a real world. Yes, everything you see is what really happened!"
He saw with his own eyes that Lu Mingfei's face became darker and darker, and the look in his eyes became less and less like that bad boy, and instead became solemn and ferocious.
"I've actually had this premonition for a long time... After all, it doesn't really look like an illusion, nor does it look like a dream." Lu Mingfei stared at Lu Mingze's golden eyes and said in a deep voice, "Although I have countless I wanted to explain it as a pure nightmare for the first time, but those details, those familiar and unfamiliar people, their actions, what they said to me, their sense of mission and their belief in death, all seemed like needles. It's stabbing me in the back - how dare I treat them as just a simple dream? They are all dead! Died in front of me!"
"Are you sorry about this?" Lu Mingze looked at him.
Lu Mingfei did not answer this question.
What can he do with regret? What can he change? That is a story from another world, a story that has already happened. It is like watching the fighting on the moon across the mirror-like lake, allowing him to experience the despair personally. It was originally a meaningless Lingchi, which made him feel the suffocating sadness that could not be changed but was drowned like a tide.
"It still makes sense." Lu Mingze said lightly, "Since you are afraid, then try your best to prevent it from coming. This is what Lin Nian has been doing, and what you have been working hard on."
"What do you mean? Be more specific?" Lu Mingfei asked.
He realized that the situation seemed to have reached an extreme level, otherwise Lu Mingze, who had always been a Riddler, would not have been able to show up and tell him so many secrets. The more Lu Mingze told him, the more fear he felt in his heart. The pile was even bigger, because it meant that after he learned everything, it wouldn't take long for him to face the terrible disaster that was waiting for him not far ahead.
"I said before that no one can forcefully bring two branches together. No one has the ability to travel through other branches or change the direction of other branches. No matter how fast 'Time Zero' is, it cannot become the 'Speed Force' and travel through parallel worlds. It is impossible for things to happen in the current environment. Taking a step back, even if someone has a complete ancient power and finds a suitable opportunity, at most they can only force two branches to complete a similar 'celestial intersection' The phenomenon."
Lu Mingfei had played the Witcher series of games and understood what Lu Mingze meant.
Lu Mingze stretched out his hand, pinched the two branches that were growing outside the window, and placed them parallel to each other. "Usually, the distance between the two branches is very far and fixed. Only when there is a strong wind (he pulled the two branches closer) , overlapping together), there is a very small possibility that the two branches will intersect under the action of external force, but this is only a short-term intersection and nothing can be changed. After the weather eases, the branches will go their separate ways again (he loosened the When the branches are opened, their mutual elasticity quickly separates from each other), and they will never interact with each other until death."
Lu Mingze clapped his hands and said, "Obviously, this is not in line with His intentions. What He wants is more, so... He chose another method."
"Another way?" Lu Mingfei was relieved and worried again.
Lu Mingze said slowly: "Since he can't affect his world through other branches, he simply relies on his own strength to prune his own branch, and uses artificial grafting to re-grow a future that meets his expectations. .”
"How is this possible!" Lu Mingfei was in disbelief.
"It sounds incredible, but the principle is very simple." Lu Mingze said, "Because of His own power, those abstract branches representing the world line are not illusory in His eyes, and He can observe those around Him Those branches, the lines and veins on those branches are what ordinary people call 'destiny'."
"What is 'destiny', brother?" Lu Mingze raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei and asked.
Lu Mingfei was stunned by this grand proposition and couldn't answer it for a while.
"'Choice' is 'destiny'." Lu Mingze did not play riddles with Lu Mingfei this time, but directly stated the answer. His voice was low and majestic, "In our cognitive world and cognitive reality, , there are endless choices. For every creature that has the ability to interfere with cognitive reality, every choice it makes will leave an inaudible trace on that branch, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions, The choices piled up to the level of river sand are constantly entangled and advancing, just like the blood in the blood vessels constantly flowing forward, leaving scratches on the blood vessels, and the growth rings left by the continuous division and expansion of cells and vessels in trees. , those are what we call ‘destiny’!”
Lu Mingfei took a step back slightly. He seemed to feel what Lu Mingze said, the torrent of endless bifurcated routes passing in front of him like a meteor shower, and each light path undergoing endless evolution. The line of sight stretched infinitely to the heights, and those countless rays of light eventually became a fresh branch surrounded by light, growing forward continuously.
"The fate of each branch is unique, just like the fingerprints, irises, and DNA of each person born with differences. It is basically impossible for the same genetic information to exist in this world. Even if it is cloned, it will inevitably Leaving subtle differences in the growth." Lu Mingze said lightly, "These differences directly contributed to the lush growth of 'Yuktra Hill', and there were almost no traces on the lush tree that crossed the cognitive world. There are two identical branches, because every thought and every action we take is full of randomness, and the biggest uncertainty in the world is 'choice'."
"Do you know why so many movies and TV series praise 'love', thinking that 'love' has enough power to affect time and space, and rewrite the past and the future?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He didn't know why the topic turned to such a boring thing as "love".
Lu Mingze suddenly smiled, "When many people watch movies or TV series, whenever they see a scene that praises 'love', they will subconsciously think it is ridiculous and boring. They feel that this is because the screenwriter has exhausted his talents and made the characters meet in the plot. All the difficult questions were thrown to a seemingly irrefutable proposition. But in fact, before the screenwriters abused "love" to rewrite "destiny", what they really praised was not "love" itself, because "love" It's just an emotion, it can't produce unwarranted energy. It's truly powerful. What has power is its inevitable derivative - the 'choice' that comes from 'love'."
Lu Mingfei was a little confused, but Lu Mingze quickly explained, "For example, there is a movie called "Interstellar" in this world, and its theme is 'Love is an existence that can travel through time and space dimensions. ', in the movie, the male protagonist is in a high-dimensional space, trying to convey data to answer all questions to his daughter far away on Earth, and the thing that carries this data is a watch he once gave to his daughter on the bookshelf. He Edited into the trajectory of the second hand through Morse code, as long as the anomaly of this watch can be discovered, his daughter far away on earth can save the entire human civilization."
"The key to all of this is not Morse code, nor high-dimensional space. There is only one factor that really determines whether the final ending of the movie is HP or BD, and that is the protagonist's daughter before turning around and leaving the room. Does she still love the father who abandoned her life? If that love still exists, she will choose to go back and take the watch her father gave her, discover the Morse code on it, and save mankind. On the contrary, if she has If he doesn’t love his father, he won’t get that watch, and humanity will be destroyed.”
"'Love' changes 'choice', and 'choice' affects the 'destiny' of the world." Lu Mingze said, "As long as those key 'choices' can be changed, the 'destiny' of the world's future can be rewritten."
"To rewrite destiny is to prune branches. To influence choices is to change the future," said Lu Mingfei.
"His power is to observe the 'destiny' trends of countless adjacent parallel world lines. He can see clearly and understand the branches and textures that ordinary people cannot understand and observe. For Him, it may be that He cannot touch and influence to other branches, but He is fully capable of changing the direction of his own branch!" Lu Mingze said coldly.
[Distorting ‘love’ makes those ‘choices’ unable to go right. 】
"The key to everything lies in 'choices' big and small. As long as he can find one 'choice' node after another that is close to the weight of 'whether to bring that watch back', and change those 'choices', he can directly Prune the branches’ future shape into His ideal shape.”
