As a centaur sage who has survived from ancient times to the present day, Chiron is the founder of the professional system. He has a considerable degree of combat effectiveness. And his wisdom is not inferior to Annan.
It is different from Annan who can only obtain knowledge from books, and has already reset his memory once, clearing out all the secret knowledge he had learned before.
Chiron knows many secrets buried deep in history. These secrets may not be easy to tell... because these secrets may not have been secrets at the time, but as time goes by, they gradually become secrets.
This centaur is even older than some of the current gods. When he analyzes many things, his vision is broader and further than Annan.
The fact that he did not become a god was not due to lack of ability, but simply because of a lack of opportunities... If the chariot driver had not passed away, then Chiron would have ascended to the light realm and become a god long ago.
Just like this time - without Chiron's help, Annan might not be able to come back. Even Annan himself doesn't know how long he can hold on in that absolutely desperate situation.
"But fortunately you came out."
Zhi Ji sighed: "If you can't escape, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"You can't say escape."
Annan shook his head: "There is no doubt that it was a trial. Only by completing this trial and fighting the despair in my heart can I leave that nightmare with my chest raised and my head raised.
"They were being reasonable before, and I was embarrassed to say it...but I am actually very lucky to be able to enter such a nightmare at this time.
"It exposed the real fear deep inside me and made me see clearly my own powerlessness. I am very afraid of this situation of 'I can't do anything'..."
When Annan said this, he paused slightly.
A thought suddenly occurred to him:
Is there such a possibility...
Suppose that worms are the enemy of the Sky Cart and Annan's destined enemy. Then when he fights against the concept of invisible and insubstantial "worms", will he also feel this kind of powerlessness?
——If so, then would "Black Annan", who is more intelligent than today's Annan, have considered this possibility before?
Although the worm became cunning after acquiring Annan's wisdom, and even began to take the initiative to try to plot against Annan. But its thinking did have a direction, and it also had a substantial body that could be killed.
But what if...
This is exactly the result of Annan-or should I say, the result induced by Black Annan?
Today's "Bai Annan" is only one-half of the existence of "Annan" in the entire history, and it is one side of himself.
Annan himself didn't know what Black Annan had done - he couldn't get the memory of Black Annan, let alone know his character and his talents.
However, the worm is Annan's "mirror reflection"... Of course, what he wants to obtain is not just the talent of this "half Annan".
Annan still remembers that the moment he saw the worm, his heart of winter seemed to have failed.
——It is a failure, not a reversal. Just like what happened to Annan in that otherworldly nightmare before... This familiar disturbance is exactly what the worm did.
And this means that the current "worm" also has the talents and character of Black Annan...
Can this also be described as... Black Annan can shape his character into a certain form and design some traps in areas that Annan does not know and has not touched, to influence the worm's decision-making?
Annan did not think in this direction.
After all, he has absolutely no evidence.
This possibility can only be kept for reference. Once it is taken seriously, many subsequent inferences may be subconsciously based on the preconceived judgment that "this inference is a fact."
So Annan continued:
"It was also at that time that I finally understood... No matter how outstanding my talents are or how diligent I am, there will always be things I cannot do and people I cannot save.
"It is impossible to redeem this world by oneself. This world is made up of civilization, and civilization is made up of many, many people... Everyone is just a gear in this world. Maybe some gears are larger,
It has enough power, but it still has corners that are difficult to reach.
"I need companions, I need helpers, and I need real friends.
"If I only rely on myself, sooner or later I will encounter something truly impossible that I can't do on my own. And at this time, I have to rely on my friends.
“From the bottom of the abyss, crawling hard, seeking the only possible miracle amidst countless failures—this is indeed a possibility, and it does have a sense of romance in despair.
"But on the contrary... if when I am in trouble, every one of my relatives and friends, every person who has been helped by me, every person who wants to help me, can lend a hand to me - then
This will not be an abyss of despair at all. It will simply be a fall."
Annan said, looking at Isaac and Ofishi.
They all nodded to Annan, deeply convinced.
They also obviously believed that the reason why they were able to escape was thanks to Annan's rescue... although it was indeed related in this regard.
...But in fact, the reason why they were able to leave was inseparable from their own efforts.
Rather than being saved by Annan, it was actually more that they saved themselves in their own ways.
It is precisely because they changed their biggest shortcomings that they were able to escape from despair.
Annan's "mercy" punishment corresponded to the "arrogance" deep in his heart. The arrival of the reinforcements made Annan truly realize that "there are indeed things that cannot be accomplished by oneself" and resolved this arrogance.
.
"Are you arrogant..."
Annan was thoughtful.
...If you think about it this way, the other six copies seem to correspond to the seven deadly sins.
And Isaac's "judgment" punishment corresponds to the "laziness" deep in his heart. Just like when he was killed by Nicholas in history... when Isaac thought that the other party could inherit this power.
, he chose to give up and did not compete with the opponent.
The essence of this action lies in the laziness deep in Isaac's heart. The essence of the sin of laziness lies in escaping reality and responsibility, and wasting time.
In his nightmare world, if Isaac is satisfied with "defeating the enemy" and is too lazy to think, he will never realize the truth; the more time he wastes, the more he will sink into sin and be unable to extricate himself, and the person who dies will
There will be more and more; if he escapes from reality or shirks his responsibility, it will also lead to the end of the world.
He must be strong and face everything he doesn't want to face——
——Only then can he realize that only he can save the world.
