How to understand that there is no time in Songard, only cause and effect.
Simply put, the law of time fails and gives way to the law of cause and effect. The law of cause and effect in the plot world refers to: "the series and continuation of plot lines by plot nodes before and after". Any "plot cause point" must have a "plot effect point". Similarly, every pair of "plot cause and effect nodes" are cause and effect to each other in this paragraph of "plot selection". Expanding or narrowing the excerpt's plot line causes causal changes.
As in all story worlds under the jurisdiction of Sanctuary, it is not the timeline that drives the plot, but the plot line. Another example is that the plot fragments that lose the player's intervention will freeze the plot, and the plot line will stagnate no matter how much time is consumed.
In similar situations, only when players intervene and find key nodes can the plot be released and continue to advance.
So a lot of times talking about "timelines" doesn't make sense to big players. The "plot line" is the most important thing.
Just like the "ancestral spirits" who were expelled from the Hall of Courage by the goddess Gine due to the Lord's endless and unlimited repeated "blasphemy", instead became the last barrier against Alduin's crisis. This is actually a cause and effect. The moment the lord sowed the seeds of blasphemy, the result was the formation of an alliance by Marjane Firehair Queen. Also because he sensed the crisis, Alduin began to crazily devour Nord heroic spirits and "grow evil thoughts" regardless of everything. It caused the faded ghost to sweep through the valley like a wave of terror, but fortunately the coalition forces blocked it with high walls. And it seems that this law of causality also conforms to certain characteristics of plot rebalancing.
Well, it makes sense anyway.
In order to no longer artificially create unpredictable "antecedents" and "consequences". The lord asked the two female lords to lead the coalition forces to defend the barrier, while he personally led the elite team to rush into the Hall of Courage. Face the "culprit" of all this collapse, World Eater Alduin.
However. As the only Zijin VIP in the shelter who is accustomed to the "dual-line narrative", Wu Chen, the big player No. 0326, always feels that. In this immersive adventure in Return to Skyrim, he has yet to face a counterattack from a divided line of Sanctuary players. Because it is obvious that the plot line has begun to wrap up at an accelerated pace, it is unusual that there are still no different players involved at this time.
As the old saying goes: “When things go wrong, there’s always going to be a monster.”
This is also the reason why Wu Chen has always been very energetic and did not dare to relax at all every time he took risks.
Songard Valley.
As Genales's incarnation, the ancient vine goddess Danica Jiechun, sang in a low voice, the vines that kept coming out of the ground and intertwined formed a circular "wooden element portal".
"After we pass through, the magic door will disappear. And this arched vine door will stay in place to take root and sprout, turning into a lush and beautiful bush." The lord relayed Danica Jiechun's words to those who came to see him off. Meera Stormcloak and Erika Skjomel. It is said that Queen Gerhild of West Skyrim, who had been living in seclusion since being expelled from the Hall of Courage by the goddess Gine, immediately sent her daughter Princess Svana and Blade Lord Enyla to lead the lord after learning that the lord had returned to Sognard. The house shield girl came to help. Some details of old adventures were also revealed by the lord. For example, Queen Gerhild's husband, High King Svargrim of Western Skyrim, was transformed into a vampire lord by Radha of the Gray King Salan at the Tower of the Wolf in Solitude, and turned his back on the Nords. Belief. After death, he could not enter Sungard. I have to say that this small detail gave the Lord a great comfort.
"So, the goddess Gine who expelled you has really become your backbone." Meera Stormcloak looked at the Lord with a complicated expression. As the elemental goddess corresponding to the Storm Goddess, Genales's grand divinity is undoubtedly demonstrated.
"Perhaps the divinity is another reason for the decline of Gine's divine power." The Lord confirmed that the star field in the miraculously revived "First Half of Omega Capricorn" definitely has a star belonging to Mera Stormcloak. This also means that as a plot lord in the golden age of asylum, Wu Chen’s purpose of frequenting Sognard is definitely not just for free wine and beds. Even in that half-lost old adventure, his journey to Sognard must have been fraught with hardships and twists and turns. If you want to win the favor of a long-famous Nord heroine in the Hall of Courage and be willing to form a spiritual bond with him and merge into his Ω screen, it must not be a great achievement that can be achieved with just one or two sweet words.
Precisely because every big adventure that goes deep into the plot is a legendary experience in the sanctuary, there is an incomparably bright little universe where the lord's divinity flows out. It's a pity that the shelter was broken 9 times, and Wu Chen's entire central star field was dimmed after completing the 404 Road of Destruction. It was not until the adventure was restarted in the Broken City, and the first clean-up day was safely passed, and the adventure of "Return to Skyrim" was started before the second clean-up day, that the dead small universe showed more and more signs of recovery.
Especially in the demigod-level microcosm where divinity flows out, three known guardian constellations are revealed: "Ω Scorpio"'s guardian skill is "Psychic Control", and "Ω Capricorn"'s guardian skill is "Thought Control". "Object", the guardian skill of "Ω Ophiuchus" is "Crimson Dragon Break".
When the three Ω guardian constellations in the central star field of the small universe recovered one after another, Wu Chen was surprised to find that the memory copy of the fourth Ω guardian constellation also quietly emerged in his mind - "Ω Lyra".
Later, in order to distinguish it from the achievements of old adventures. The lord divided the guardian constellation into two halves, the front and back. For example: "First half·ΩCapricorn", "Second half·ΩCapricorn".
All Ximu Dragon Niangs were merged into the "Later Half·Ω Ophiuchus", and the remaining promise recipients were merged into the "Later Half·Ω Capricornus". I thought everything was a foregone conclusion. Unexpectedly, during the adventure of returning to Songard, the Lord unexpectedly revived "First Half·Ω Capricorn".
What does this mean?
This shows that as the paradise of the Nords, the ultimate unity of matter and spirit among the Seven Star Lord Gods, and that there is no time but only cause and effect, Songard seems to have certain high-dimensional attributes of the sanctuary that "cannot be deleted". Almost all the plot points of the Lord's old adventures are retained. It's like a "Plot Driftbottle". After surviving the stormy waves that shattered the sanctuary nine times, the cause and consequences of the Lord's reopening came.
Perhaps only the domain of the Seven-Star Lord God has high-level permissions that will not be deleted by the shelter. Like those stubborn "system files".
Stepping out of the "Wood Elemental Portal", the Lord was already in a huge empty wooden barrel filled with the aroma of wine. In my memory, only Dongyan Wing has such a huge wine barrel. The only difference is that this is an empty bucket. And you can tell at a glance that this was originally a secretly set teleportation point.
Move the built-in mechanism handle, and the wooden barrel lid, which is comparable to a city gate, slowly opens upward. The melancholic music then passed through the crack under the door. And later there was the sound of weapons clashing and more messy footsteps.
Following the edge of the rising barrel lid, I saw the Nord shield wall that was rapidly forming. Let the lord relax a little.
The discovery that the intruder was wearing the adventuring suit of a Nord lord also caused a murmur of murmurs behind the shield wall.
When the lid of the barrel was opened enough for both parties to see each other's full view, a deep voice from behind the shield wall first sounded: "Who are you?"
"Baron Xueman from 4E 201, Lord Ximu." Wu Chen's previously influx of memory copies was immediately activated: "Is the opposite side Yike of the River?"
"Aha! I guess it's you, Lord Ximu." A strong warrior wearing a Nord horned helmet moved away from the shield wall and walked towards Wu Chen: "You are the only one who knows all the secrets of the Hall of Courage."
