Hearing Zhuque's words, Ai Ting suddenly felt touched in her heart. It was like a string in the depths of the universe, passing through an immeasurable distance, sending a wave of waves.
She calmed down, smoothed out a strand of hair that was a little messy due to anxiety, her face became calm, her eyes shone like the starry sky, she lowered her head and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Who else?"
Suzaku took back the hand on his best friend's shoulder and crossed his legs to the side. The black long skirt under the red short coat parted naturally, revealing the tips of the exquisite boots.
"The only one who has the power over time is Qing Mang."
"But the goddess is asleep."
Ai Ting doesn't believe in the existence of the Green Mang Goddess at all. She only thought that "the blessing of the goddess" was an abnormality caused by some kind of flaw in the world. She didn't bother to argue if people insisted on calling it a "blessing".
She absolutely does not believe that there was a being who participated in the initial creation and then existed for eight thousand years, protecting this country.
If there is God's blessing, why do natural and man-made disasters continue to happen? Since the goddess is in charge of justice, why are sins like garbage that appears out of nowhere and can never be cleaned up?
If God exists, why do people have to work so hard and endure countless sufferings?
Because there is no God in this world, or God is inherently evil, and human life and death have nothing to do with it, so people have to rely on their own efforts to survive to this day.
Saying "the goddess is asleep" is already very worthy of her.
Suzaku originally wanted to say: "You are the goddess." But after the thought rolled around her eyes, her words became like this:
"Well, she is asleep. But her authority is still there. You are a woman blessed by the goddess. You can use her authority while she is still awake."
"How to use it?"
The idea of using the power of a goddess is so horrifying that Ai Ting should find it unbelievable and sensational.
But actually she wasn't that surprised. She subconsciously felt that this was completely feasible, but she needed to carefully consider the consequences.
"It's simple. You can temporarily replace her, and then you can use her authority."
Suzaku said lightly.
Ai Ting stared blankly at the dark night sky outside the window and asked:
"Replacing her? Then am I still myself?"
"Of course.
"Qing Mang's consciousness is just some memories. When these memories enter your brain, you replace Qing Mang."
Suzaku played with half of the "Tears of the Goddess" hanging on his chest.
"Your original memories are not affected. You are still yourself. It's just that you remember more things from the past."
"What's going on?"
"Everything Qing Mang has experienced includes how to use the power of time."
"But where did you find the memory of the goddess?"
For Ai Ting, this is the real problem.
"It's simple."
Contrary to Ai Ting, Zhuque was not bothered by this problem at all.
"Before the goddess fell asleep, she kept her memory in the coffin of sleep. After the national computer was built, I have transferred her memory to the computer.
"You don't have to go far, there is a terminal connected to the computer in the central province. Now as long as you connect to the computer and input the goddess' memory, the replacement can be completed."
Although Zhuque said it simply, Ai Ting always felt that there was a serious problem here.
Master the power of the goddess and reverse time at will?
terrible. Doesn’t the butterfly effect have dire consequences?
"Since I can reverse time, why don't I go back before Meng Fei sets out and stop him from setting off? Or simply go before Zhang Feng commits suicide and stop him from committing suicide?
"Or go all the way back to Weiyue Country before the entropy increased and became unstable, and let Li Bu and the others solve the problems there in advance?"
"Don't!"
This time, it was Suzaku who was frightened.
"Wait until you get it
Never use the power of time casually. "
"Why?"
"Using the power of time consumes Qingmang's divine power. To put it bluntly, it is the negative entropy of this country. The more you change history, the greater the negative entropy you consume."
Suzaku said while gesticulating a little gleefully.
"If you had allowed Meng Fei not to go to Rosemary City, the gap between history and the original would be getting wider and wider, and the amount of negative entropy consumed would be unimaginable."
"Then why doesn't Meng Fei consume a lot of negative entropy when using "branch"? "
"'Branching' does not change history, it just divides reality into two different directions. In the end, only one will survive and become the 'reality'."
"The other branches will be destroyed and become "illusions" in twenty-four hours, just like they never existed. This is just one more choice and does not consume too much negative entropy.
"But if you reverse time, it is equivalent to changing the real history by yourself. All the deviations between the new "reality" and the original history must be compensated by you using negative entropy.
"This is not a small amount. I'm afraid that even if I throw all the national negative entropy accumulated over the past ten years into it, I won't be able to fill such a big hole."
The use of authority consumes the negative entropy of the entire country. This has happened once in Qingmang's history.
Thousands of years ago, during the battle against the God of Death in Jizhi Mountain, the goddess Qingmang used the negentropy accumulated in the Qingmang Kingdom for thousands of years to plant a time spiral in order to save He Ma and prevent the birth of Taotie.
There was too much negative entropy loss, so over the next thousand years, the once strong Qingmang gradually weakened. It was not until the third total war that the country made a miraculous comeback and regained its national destiny.
"Then what should we do?"
"I've planned this."
Suzaku pinched his forehead and massaged himself twice. The planning of this matter gave her a headache for a while.
"We try not to touch history and keep history as it is.
"Go back to before the different space was divided, and take advantage of the time when the different space is divided to sneak in and hide. Wait until the current time has passed before taking action.
"Because the alien space is isolated from reality, most changes are limited to the alien space, and not much negative entropy is needed."
"But if we go to a different space, we won't be there in the real world. Then what happens to us in the real world will lead to big changes?"
Ai Ting thought of another loophole.
According to Suzaku's plan, the two of them had to go to the different space where Meng Fei disappeared in advance. In this way, both she and Suzaku will disappear in history for a period of time.
During this period, whether she disappears or Xuannv disappears, it will lead to various consequences, and the butterfly effect will cause earth-shaking changes in history.
It’s time for Negentropy to shut down due to arrears again.
"So we need two stand-ins to replace us in reality."
Suzaku put one thigh on top of the other, raising the black skirt into an arc like a crescent moon.
"Do you still remember the two puppets of ours made by the Chiwu people when we were in Suanyi? I brought them back as trophies to study. They can be used just right this time."
"Replace us with dolls?"
"right.
"I will write a program and write in our memories from that time. The two dolls will think that they are us at that time and replay the subsequent history on our behalf.
"Real-life history will be preserved as intact as possible.
"And the real us are already in the different space where Meng Fei is trapped!"
