"I am the Master of Yuanshi."
"who?"
"Dharma Master Yuanshi."
"..."
"Actually, I don't like this title very much. It feels like it's just made up."
"...In the Chawu Realm, you taught me the Taoist skills?"
"Yes."
"Where's the magic?"
"Chaos, oh god of chaos."
"Are you really the Master of Yuanshi?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I feel like you're more approachable than I thought."
"Because what you feel is my mind, and my mind is more active than theirs."
"they?"
"Chaos, Hermes, Elune, Naaru, etc., Aqilu's life regards them as gods. You should also feel that they are actually very slow, so they feel a little unpredictable."
"Hermes? The Hermes of Hermes' Dream?"
"Yes, he is the God of Cunning... This title seems to be made up randomly, but Hermes is a bit unserious. I suspect that some strange things are mixed into its strings."
"You are truly the Master of the Origin of Dharma..."
"Although I don't like this title, I am indeed the Master of Yuanshi... Well, do you have anything else to ask?"
"...What happened in the Chawu Realm? Why did I lose my memory?"
"That was an unpleasant experience for you, so it's better to forget about it."
"I would like to know."
"You can ask Hermes if you have a chance."
"All right……"
"..."
"..."
"Nothing to ask?"
“There are so many questions, I don’t know which one to ask first.”
"oh."
"Why did I come a thousand years later and lose decades of memory?"
"You didn't lose your memory. Li Liang returned to that 'event' and took you to a thousand years later, and lost part of the information, just like he lost his memory."
"Then who am I?"
"You are Li Liang."
"You mean, my future self went back to the past and brought me to the present?"
"It's barely understandable."
"What happened to the heavenly spirit?"
"The other one is a heavenly spirit, but you are not a heavenly spirit."
"That's the first time Tam saw me... No, wait, it's too confusing. In this way, I will be me next, and the other me will be Li Liang."
"Oh, okay. When that river toad man saw you for the first time, he thought you were an ordinary human being, and noticed that you had lost ninety years of memory. Later, he discovered that you were a celestial spirit."
"right."
"The talent of the Toad people comes from some special string structures of Naru. They can sense the vibration of strings in non-resonant states of life. This ability is manifested in Aqilu by listening to the thoughts of those uninspired beings. In addition, a Life has lost part of its memory, and the vibrations of the strings will become incoherent, which can also be detected by the river toad people.
At that time, Li Liang and you shared the same body. Tam actually noticed your and Li Liang's strings at the same time, but it couldn't tell them apart. Therefore, it sensed that you were an ordinary person and that Li Liang was missing part of his memory. .
When you first approached the Gate of Spiritual Reason, Li Liang woke up, and it was only at that time that you showed the ability of the Heavenly Spirit. "
"So I had to rely on Tata's Horcrux to see the spirit in the beginning. When I first met Tam, I didn't have the vision of the spirit..."
“What is spiritual vision?”
"It's the power of the heavenly spirit."
"oh."
"Since I was brought by Li Liang from the past, why did Dr. Xisen check my body later and find that there are signs of physiological amnesia in my brain?"
"The world of fog."
"I understand, I lost my memory in the Chawu Realm. It was physiological amnesia that time."
"Yes."
"Why did Li Liang wake up when I first approached the Spiritual Gate?"
"The spirit of the physical world is too thin."
"You also arranged it for Netherworld?"
"No, Netherworld is a kind of native creature that is very sensitive to heavenly spirits. Before Li Liang wakes up, an unconscious heavenly spirit is an excellent nesting place for Netherworld. They just want to capture you."
"...It sounds like it was arranged by you... By the way, how did Li Liang share the same body with me?"
"In a similar way to Arrival, but more complex and more dangerous than Arrival."
"As Cain saw, Li Liang stood behind me, like a mirror?"
"That's how it is in the eyes of Tianling."
"Then why can't I see it?"
"Maybe because...he is behind your back?"
"..."
"..."
"Well, then, after I ate the Dream of Hermes, I started dreaming about some things I had never experienced before, just because..."
"Yes, after the Chawu Realm, you and Li Liang began to merge."
"What happened to me in the Chawu Realm?"
"You can ask Hermes if you get a chance."
"Fuck...ah, I'm sorry, Master Yuanshi..."
"Things like this are very difficult to control and require some unique skills to avoid giving away all the information."
"Well, in short, I became a brain-splitting person in the Chawu Realm, learned magic and Taoism, and then started to merge with Li Liang until..."
"Until the time observer appeared, Hermes left your body and deceived the time observer's thinking. After that, you and Li Liang quickly completed the fusion."
"Cain said that Laplace felt that a very powerful god had descended on me. Was it Hermes?"
"right."
"Aren't you too crowded? I, Li Liang, Hermes."
"fine."
"Okay, I understand. What Tam summoned with the Magic Circle was indeed the God of Cunning, Hermes, and then Hermes disguised himself as the God of Chaos."
"Yes, that river toad man is very sensitive, but after all, he can only make inferences based on the knowledge and experience he has."
"Where's Dododisar?"
"The earliest Disal was the brain left behind by a dead Creation Titan. It had the ability to see 'variables'. At that time, you and Li Liang had already completed the fusion. What it saw was your common subconscious."
"Why didn't you just tell me the truth? Why didn't Li Liang tell him when Tam woke him up at ASK?"
"Aqilu is not a collection of objects, but a collection of 'events', and time represents 'occurrence' and is a measure of 'events'. The time of Aqilu is smooth and orderly, and there is mutual connection between 'events' Evolutionary variables, that is, all 'events' included in the past, present, and future are interrelated and form a changing system. Any tiny variable will bring subversive changes to the entire system.
For example, if a human goes back in time and kills his grandparents before his father is born, a contradictory situation will arise. If his grandparents die, he will not be able to give birth to his father. Without his father, he will not be able to survive. Exists, and since he doesn't exist, who killed his grandparents? "
"...Then...it means that it is impossible for this person to go back to the past, or that the person he killed was not his real grandparent. Yes, was he the grandparent from another timeline?"
"No, the parallel world theory proposed by the basic world civilization is a wrong conjecture. Aqilu, Belaiya, Jezila, and Axia form the sacred structure of the four worlds, and Aqilu time is defined as The sacred timeline is the only timeline.”
"But, Dododisar said that I am no longer in the original timeline...ah, you guys..."
"Yes, what I, Chaos, Hermes want to do is to establish a new timeline, a timeline that is beyond the control of time observers."
"..."
"The rules of the sacred timeline are like this. When this human being goes back to the past, the 'events' that exist in the past and the future change at the same time. When he goes back in time to assassinate his grandparents, his grandparents will only be seriously injured. His father was still born, but this assassination changed the life trajectory of his grandparents and his father, which eventually led him to have the idea of assassinating his grandparents and put it into action, forming a stable closed loop of cause and effect, which did not destroy the order of time. , is allowed to exist by the rules.”
"I understand, but I don't fully understand... What does this have to do with you not being able to reveal information?"
"What causes the 'events' in the past and the future to change at the same time is not the human being's act of 'going back to the past', but the fact that he carries 'information' and exchanges information with past 'events'. If he does not He has no idea of assassinating his grandparents. He just wants to go back and have a look. Then, his grandparents will not be harmed. His father's life trajectory has not changed. Because of this, he has no idea of assassinating his grandparents. It is still stable. Closed loop of cause and effect.”
"Got it, information."
"Information is a variable. Variables are divided into general variables and key variables. A lot of information carried by this human being is a variable. His advanced knowledge, his power, his interaction with past 'events', but the key variable is his understanding My own grandparents.”
"Yeah, if he couldn't find his grandparents, he would never be able to hurt them."
"Yes, but this example only discusses the simplest case. In fact, every variable he carries will change the past and future 'events', not just the single 'event' of 'assassination of grandparents'."
"So you can't reveal too much information."
"Because we don't know for sure what information is the key variable, neither do time observers."
"I understand. So, since Hermes deceived time observers, a new timeline has been born?"
"Currently, they are just intertwined and coexisting. Until the moment you reach Li Liang and return to the past, you and Li Liang will be separated again and become different 'Li Liang' in the two timelines."
"In the original timeline, what happened to me...Li Liang? Why did you create a new timeline just to get rid of control?"
"'Li Liang' hopes that you will never know what he has gone through, and we have seen the ultimate."
"What is the ultimate?"
"You'll always see it, your way."
"Well, it seems that Dododisar is right, this is a war between gods and time observers."
"..."
"Actually, there's another thing I don't understand. In the case of my grandparents, people who go back in time won't meet me because I haven't been born yet. But how did Li Liang bring me, a living person, to the present?"
"You experience only definite 'events', and we have had countless encounters with Time Observers.
Time observers have the ability to manipulate the arrow of time into a superposition state. In the superposition state, they can enter each 'event' countless times and adjust the cause and effect of the 'event'. They once , induced Li Liang to undergo a forced closed loop, became a heavenly spirit, and gave him the 'Ascension' potion..."
"I know about the forced closed loop. Dododisar also said so. Is the 'ascension' potion a magic potion made by that demigod?"
"Yes, after decomposition, different effects can be achieved, including immortality."
"It turns out that the people in the Pantheon and the Hall of Valor really rely on the 'ascension' potion to achieve eternal life..."
"Because of the 'ascension' potion, Li Liang realized that time observers can bring items into the 'event'.
In the sacred timeline, the elves created Laplace in another fundamental world. After that, Laplace became Li Liang's servant. When we decided to move forward with this plan, Laplace imprisoned the time observer in In the infinite superposition of time arrows, we are constantly confronting time observers in the superposition state. They are looking for the key variables to break free from confinement, and we are also creating countless variables to mislead them.
The superposition state has collapsed and restarted countless times, until this time, we successfully deceived time observers, making the sacred timeline and the new timeline intertwined and parallel, and bringing many things into the new timeline. "
"In addition to me, there are also... maintenance drone bases, weapons bases, backup spacecraft bases... the abyss and the prophecy stone tablet?"
"And Li Liang's other servant, Billy."
"..."
"..."
"why me?"
"Because you are Li Liang, and you think you are the only one at that moment. In every choice you encounter after waking up, you will insist on doing what you think is right, rather than the best choice for you."

"……what's next?"
"Time observers will eventually see through Hermes' trick, so the war has just begun. When you re-enter Aqi Road, there will be a period of time that resonates with me and Chaos. I stayed in Du Yujing for you. A sword, and Chaos gives you the power of a demigod, and then, do what you have to do, and that's it."
"...Thank you, Master Yuanshi."
"Ah! Ah! One yin and one yang, no beginning and no end. The end is the end of the day, and the beginning is the beginning..."
next moment.
Teemo's voice rang in his ears: "What are you waiting for?"
Li Liang opened his eyes and smiled: "Long time no see."
