Chapter 367 The scriptwriter of fate, watching for eternity
According to the various physical rules and event logic of this universe, Mu Cang should not and could not see the absolutely certain future.
Note that this does not mean that you cannot 'see' the future, it just cannot 'see' a future that is 100% certain.
The two are by no means the same concept.
It can even be said that the gap between the two is so large that it is almost infinite.
According to common sense, any behavior that predicts the future will only “see” many plausible and unclear fragments of future time and space.
From ancient times to the present, prophets from various civilizations and ethnic groups usually select one or more sets of plural fragments that they think are more likely, and then precisely splice them together to form a picture of the future that they think is the most certain and reliable.
Then use this picture to predict the future.
But in fact, those many fragments from the endless future are all the "reflections and shadows" of countless future possibilities that naturally split out during the long river of time.
Each 'light and shadow' represents the existence of a parallel universe, and many 'lights and shadows' represent the existence of many parallel universes.
The word ‘many’ here can also refer to infinity.
The future is uncertain and we can never see it all.
The number of parallel universes is endless and will never be exhausted.
Therefore, the so-called reliable picture of the future... is only relatively reliable for those who live in the prediction of the parallel universe corresponding to this picture.
At the same time, prediction is also an observation.
Since there are observations, interference will inevitably occur.
The meaning or role of the observer is to ‘record’.
Recording will also change quantum events from the state of [possible] existence to the state of [actual] existence.
By analogy... it is like the collapse of the wave function of microscopic particles after being observed.
Therefore, Mu Cang's absolute future observation based on transcendental perception will also have absolute interference in the endless future, and then forcibly consolidate the complicated future with infinite trillions of possibilities, annihilating the countless
Endless possibilities are transformed into a timeline with a single outcome.
This... was something that shouldn't have happened.
But transcendental perception, an idealistic ability that Mu Cang only awakened after ascending to the level of divinity, was able to do this by forcefully defying the strict seals of time, space, cause and effect, and physical rules in the vast universe.
I can only say that the ability of idealism... is really too terrifying.
In other words, Mu Cang suddenly let that terrifying fatalism... descend and completely rule this lonely new galaxy.
From the moment he started observing, all the changes in the countless billions of stars in this huge giant system in the future for countless millions of years, as well as all the thoughts and behaviors of the countless trillions of living beings and all the futures they will experience, were all recorded.
Fixed on a long track called fate.
And the free will that the countless future beings in the new galaxy think they have always had has become a joke that is not worth mentioning.
They will all follow the destiny script that was born due to Mu Cang's observation behavior, and stand ignorantly on the big stage that has been arranged, and perform scenes that have been written in advance... some may be tragic or tragic.
story plot.
And during the 'performance' process, Mu Cang, who stands in the long past time and space, can also use the miraculous idealistic ability of transcendental perception, just like the scriptwriter behind the fate of the world, he can easily modify and interfere with countless intelligent beings according to the situation.
life, and the changes and evolution of matter in the infinite stars.
As for how long this fateful orbit that 'kidnapped' the entire new galaxy will be, it all depends on how far into the future Mu Cang wants to observe.
If he observes one million years from now, then the infinite sentient beings in this new galaxy will be enveloped in fate for one million years.
If it is observed hundreds of millions of years later, then the infinite sentient beings in this new galaxy will be enveloped in fate for hundreds of millions of years.
Even...if Mu Cang becomes playful and wants to observe until the great tear or collapse of the universe in millions of billions of years, then the infinite sentient beings in the New Galaxy will be sadly 'detained' by a terrible fate.
When the universe ends, there will be no liberation.
What's even more tragic is that the infinite sentient beings who are on the fateful track heading all the way to the distant future are completely unaware of their own wretchedness.
No matter it is the carbon-based mortal, the extraordinary life, the overlord of the galaxy, or even the cosmic sage overlooking the sea of stars... no one will try to escape, and no life will resist.
Because in their eyes, the sky is still the sky, the earth is still the earth, and the boundless starry sky is still boundless.
Nothing has changed, everything is as usual.
They simply don't realize that they, their ethnic group, and even the entire giant system they belong to have been completely 'crucified' by a desperate fate countless thousands of years ago.
Because all the horrors coming from Mu Cang have been completely blocked by the heavy time and the narrow cognition of sentient beings themselves.
With the poor imagination of ordinary beings, they simply cannot imagine that the lives of their ancestors thousands of years ago, their own lives, and the lives of their descendants are what they are today, all because of the tower that stands in a higher place.
It was shaped by the indifferent gaze of a cosmic god outside the distant void thousands of years ago.
Their visions, ambitions, dreams, and all the efforts they made for these... To Mu Cang, the observer who existed countless thousands of years ago, they were just mediocre stories that could be interfered with and modified at will.
Fortunately, Mu Cang was not too interested in interfering with the fate of mere mortals.
He just watched quietly, watching these civilizations that existed in the future time and space of the new galaxy.
"Contestant No. 1 Tie Yan has retired. Who will become the first sage to receive the reward next?"
With this little curiosity in mind, Mu Cang saw at the fifth moment of observing the future that after two hundred thousand years, the overall pattern of the new galaxy has undergone tremendous changes.
The original twelve giants of the galaxy have suddenly changed by more than half.
It turns out that during these two hundred thousand years, nine giant-level interstellar civilizations perished.
Some of these civilizations fell and perished due to their own reasons, some were defeated and conquered by new superior civilizations, and some were split into many countries and disappeared.
Among them, three of the Leading Ape Shikoku have also disappeared.
Only the original civilization founded by Tie Yan still exists, but its sphere of influence has been reduced by most of it.
The interstellar influence that the lead ape clan once had at its peak has also seen a complete decline.
At the same time, the Tie clan of the Lead Ape Empire also lost power due to the fierce political struggle during this long period of time, and could no longer hold power.
Their throne, which had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, was ruthlessly taken away by the Aluminum family, who were also the top leaders of the Lead Ape Clan.
At this point, the Tie clan was completely reduced to a small interstellar prince with a weak power and only over a hundred star systems.
"It seems that Tie Yan's bloodline is coming to an end."
Mu Cang chuckled, "You are really incompetent. You have such a huge advantage, and you still end up like this."
After laughing, he continued to observe the future of the new galaxy.
At the sixth moment of his observation, he saw that 150,000 years later, the last member of the extremely impoverished Tie clan... died in a dirty corner of a remote small interstellar city-state.
The cause of his death was very simple. He was tortured to death after being completely drained of all the money by a group of debt collectors from a black casino.
At this point, the Tie clan, which had experienced nearly 530,000 years of ups and downs, was completely destroyed, and completely disappeared into the vast star space.
Tieyan... Juehe.
At the same time, after a long period of 150,000 years, the so-called twelve giants of the Galaxy have also become a passing thing.
Their influence and dominance gradually weakened over time, and eventually disappeared in the long river of history.
Instead, there is a new sequence called the Galaxy Hundreds.
Among these hundreds of tribes, the Lead Ape Empire, ruled by the Nalu clan, ranked low.
Although the Lead Apes were once extremely glorious in the past years, as time goes by, their strength has gradually declined, and their interstellar status is not as good as before.
There are many reasons for its decline, including excessive internal corruption and struggle, as well as fierce competition and pressure from the external environment.
Moreover, their rulers also lacked vision and governance ability, causing the entire empire to fall into stagnation and difficulties for a long time.
At the same time, other ethnic groups except the lead apes are constantly expanding their power in various regions of the new galaxy, and they are constantly competing overtly and covertly.
In this fierce competition with each other, their technology, armaments, and evolutionary systems are constantly improving.
In comparison, the future destiny of the Lead Ape Empire also seems increasingly uncertain.
After observing this information, Mu Cang shook his head slightly without much reaction in his heart, and had no idea of changing the fate of the Tie clan, although he had the ability.
Because Mu Cang believes that the glory of the past will not last forever, and any civilization may decline and perish.
Only by constantly making progress and adapting to the changes of the times can we gain a foothold in the complex world and maintain our status and prosperity.
But this clan of lead apes has no enterprising spirit that can be seen with the naked eye.
Oh, so whether it declines or dies, it will happen sooner or later.
Then, Mu Cang continued to observe.
At the seventh moment, he saw that after two hundred thousand years, more than half of the races in the galaxy had changed.
At the same time, the Lead Ape Empire finally collapsed and perished due to the continuous internal power struggle and continuous external aggression.
All its splendor and glory came to an abrupt end at this moment and became a page of history.
However, even after the empire collapsed, a large number of lead ape people survived and became miserable interstellar refugees.
These displaced lead apes were scattered to various civilizations and planets, and were forced to live a hard life of exile.
In order to find opportunities for survival, some members of the Lead Ape tribe even joined the worst form of interstellar piracy.
However, even if they become interstellar pirates, the lives of these people are still difficult and dangerous.
They are always faced with pursuit and attacks from other interstellar forces, and their lives are in danger at all times.
As the first intelligent being in this new galaxy to set foot on the interstellar world, he has now become a rootless refugee and a vicious pirate... Seeing this scene, Mu Cang couldn't help but sigh:
"Success or failure is gone, but the green mountains are still there, and the sunset turns red several times.
All the brilliance, all the ups and downs, all the ups and downs... just turned around and turned into nothing.
Changes in the world are so unpredictable, and the so-called power and glory are so vulnerable in the face of time.
Only evolution, continuous evolution, evolution to the point of transcending time and transcending everything...is the truth."
After sighing, he once again looked towards the future of the New Galaxy.
As expected, 350,000 years later...the lead ape clan, which had been in the interstellar space for more than a million years, was completely extinct and disappeared completely in the vast sea of stars.
In the tens of thousands of years that followed, their various histories gradually became vague legends that were not very clear.
There are even many people in the New Galaxy who believe that... this ethnic group is a completely fabricated story and has never existed at all.
However, many people believe that whether it is true or false, ethnic groups are dying out in the galaxy every moment, and this one is no different.
In short, except for a handful of scholars who specialize in the ancient history of the Milky Way, as well as many large and small religions that have always believed that the Milky Way is a creature created by gods, not many people know that in fact, the lead ape clan... is the earliest civilization to set foot in the starry sky.
At the ninth moment, Mu Cang observed the 500,000 years after the demise of the Lead Ape tribe, and then 'saw' the birth of the first cosmic sage in the new galaxy.
In the following years, after that sage wildly killed thousands of civilizations and killed no one in the world who dared to respect him, he discovered the existence of the restricted area at the edge of the galactic center area.
He was so high-spirited that he had no fear of anything, so he naturally broke into it without any fear.
Then after going through a difficult journey and almost losing half of his life, he arrived at the Galactic Center Superstructure in disgrace.
"What the hell is this place? Why is the firepower so strong? It almost killed me."
Just when he was about to die and fell to the ground heavily, feeling sad, the message that Mu Cang had written more than 1.5 million years ago suddenly appeared in the depths of his soul:
"Tie Yan, I wonder if you can lead the lead ape clan to this continent.
Maybe, maybe not.
Maybe you are not Tieyan at all, but another life.
Haha, it doesn't matter.
Listen, I am the creator of this galaxy. As the first being in this galaxy to become a sage, you have successfully passed my test and are eligible to receive rewards and... continue to evolve."
The message stopped for a moment, and then suddenly turned into an infinite flow of information, which was slowly gathered into a book in the mind of this sage - "High Energy Yuanzu".
"Tie Yan...who is that? The Lead Ape Clan...isn't that a legend? And..."
The sage's eyes widened and he trembled, almost groaning, "The...creator of the galaxy?! How is this possible?!!"
