The ancient imperial prison.
T-shaped cell.
When Zishou returned here again, the ruthless emperor was just as he had been the first time he saw him, standing there quietly, like a mutton-fat jade sculpture, and like a completely frozen time.
She is flawless and talented.
She trapped herself in the Ancient Imperial Prison with the knot in her heart, stubbornly unwilling to leave, just to wait for an answer.
Zi Shou looked at the ruthless emperor and slowly said: "I have understood the reason for the emperor's heart knot."
The ruthless emperor also looked at Zi Shou and said calmly: "What's the explanation?"
Although her voice was calm, the desire that burst out from the depths of her eyes at this moment was still captured by the quilt.
She waited for an answer for too long.
Zi Shou took a deep breath and waved his hand casually.
A table, two chairs, a pot of tea, and two tea cups appeared in front of me.
He made a gesture of invitation, sat down, filled two teacups with his hands, and said: "To explain this matter, we need to start with why you, the Great Emperor, cannot truly reverse history."
The ruthless emperor did not sit down, nor did she look at the World Tree tea on the table. She just looked at Zi Shou quietly, waiting for the answer.
Of course Zishou knew what the ruthless emperor was thinking, so he drew a time light cone diagram.
This is one of the classic conjectures about time and space in his home world.
Although his home world is a world where even the spiritual energy has completely faded, one method is connected to all methods, and one method is clear to all.
The time light cone means that the light dispersed by an event forms a three-dimensional cone in four-dimensional space-time, and this cone is one of the foundations of multi-dimensional cosmology and parallel space-time theory.
Zi Shou pointed to the time light cone diagram and said: "I call this the time light cone. It represents the changes caused by the occurrence and influence of everything."
"Or to use a more suitable term for us, this double cone represents the causal change of everything."
He pointed to the center point of the light cone diagram and said: "This is the source of cause and effect, and here is the effect produced by cause, which is the history that you want to change, Great Emperor."
"Under this source point, there is the cause that occurs when the cause becomes the effect."
"Everything is caused by cause and effect. All causes can be effects, and all effects are causes."
"Therefore, when the event that affects your fate, Emperor, occurs, the real source point is not at the time of the event, but at this central point."
"And this center point is the result of countless other causes."
He raised the tea cup in his hand and bowed to the ruthless emperor. After drinking all the tea in one gulp, he smiled and said: "Emperor, you have changed history countless times, but you have only reached the beginning of the birth of the Feathered God Dynasty, right?"
"However, the birth of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty is the result of various causes. Emperor, you have obliterated the effect, but you have not changed the cause at all. Then if the Yuhua Divine Dynasty is gone, there will be other dynasties. All the causes and effects will still change everything in the end. .”
The ruthless emperor's perfect face finally showed a hint of emotion.
This time, she finally sat down, picked up the tea cup in her hand, drank it all, and said, "Please continue."
With her eternal talent, she naturally understood what Zishou said in one go.
What she has changed countless times is only the effects of causes, or even the effects of causes and effects that become the causes of other things.
It's like trying to block a river. No matter how hard you try, it makes no sense.
The river will only change its course and surge down with stronger momentum.
Therefore, the more she wants to change history, the harder it will be.
More importantly...
She looked at Zi Shou.
As she expected, Zishou pointed out the key point and said: "More importantly, Great Emperor, you are the effect yourself, how can you change the cause?"
The ruthless emperor held the jade hand of the teacup with a slight force.
But she didn't express any emotions and just waited for the next step.
Zi Shou waved his hand to disperse the time light cone diagram and drew another tree diagram.
He said calmly: "If we talk about the dimensions, time and space, cause and effect and destiny of the entire world, it is such a world tree. Then no matter how many branches you cut off the crown of the tree, the emperor, it will only make more branches grow."
He said, casually drawing a few strokes on a certain node on the tree diagram.
So the node seems to disappear, but in the part before the node, more tributaries will grow and continue to spread towards the established location.
When the ruthless emperor saw this scene, there was another trace of emotion revealed in the depths of his eyes.
Because of this scene, she had experienced it hundreds of millions of times.
She herself couldn't remember how many times she had changed history, but all she had created was her brother and her in another time and space, in another world.
And the brother she really wanted to save, who only belonged to her, did not come back.
Of course she could snatch away her brothers from those worlds and pretend that he was the brother she was waiting for, but what about her in those worlds?
What is the difference between her doing this and the Yuhua Shen Dynasty who stole her brother?
She kept repeating, always looking for the brother who only belonged to her, but until the parallel time and space she created had exceeded the upper limit of the world that covers the sky, one more time would cause the whole world to collapse.
She couldn't find her brother either.
At that moment, a woman told her that the warden of the Ancient Imperial Prison could give her the answer, so she came.
The "World Tree" in front of her reminded the ruthless emperor of the past. Although she was distracted for a moment, she quickly got rid of this confusion.
She looked at Zi Shou and said, "Do you have a solution?"
The corners of Zi Shou's mouth slowly raised, and he said with a smile: "The emperor's care will cause chaos. You have already transcended. Once you have a permanent certification, you have jumped out of time, space and cause and effect, and fate is not imposed on you."
"Since you have escaped from your destiny, why do you want to turn back to your destiny?"
"No matter how many times you go upstream in that river, you will eventually be swept downstream. This is the general trend."
The ruthless emperor's perfect and beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly and said: "I am outside the river. Even if I want to rescue my brother, he is not my brother."
"Because my brother is trapped in fate, he can't live without fate."
That's her dilemma.
With the talent of the ruthless emperor, every time Zi Shou awakens her, she can conduct hundreds of millions of deductions to reach a conclusion.
She was indeed blinded by her fate before, but even if she jumped out of fate and took action on the river of fate, her brother would not be able to escape his fate.
When she does this, it's like fishing on a big river, but the fish in the river will die the moment they leave the river. This process cannot be stopped even with her power.
What she wanted was not a dead fish.
What she wants is a living brother.
Zishou shook his head and smiled: "It's very simple. Since no matter where this world tree is changed, it cannot change that period of history, then just cut down this world tree."
The ruthless emperor suddenly opened his eyes wide. If she hadn't been calm and indifferent, he would have almost thought that Zi Shou was asking her to give up saving her brother.
If the entire world tree is cut down, will the entire world that covers the sky still exist? Will her brother still exist?
She suppressed her shock and looked at Zishou, waiting for an explanation.
Zi Shou smiled slightly and replaced the tree diagram with the third picture.
It is also a classic speculation about the universe and time and space from his hometown: an overview of parallel universes.
Then he laid out the time light cone diagram and the tree space-time diagram from the beginning, and put the three pictures together for comparison.
He looked into the eyes of the ruthless emperor and said: "Emperor, since you have transcended, jumped out of the dimension of time and space, and the destiny of cause and effect, then everything you do can escape from all this."
"However, your own existence comes from that world. This is like an anchor point. No matter how the world changes or is destroyed countless times, it will be born again as it was originally."
"Because you cannot be erased, Great Emperor, so that world cannot be erased either."
"But it cannot be erased, which does not mean that it cannot be modified. Especially as the anchor, you, the Great Emperor, will make the modifications yourself."
"Chopping down the World Tree in that world means cutting off all the cause and effects that have become disordered and unstoppable, and returning everything to the original moment."
"In this way, when the world that returns to the origin is born again, you, the Emperor, will be able to find the one and only you in it."
"Because, Great Emperor, you are outside the river."
At this moment, the ruthless emperor finally fully understood.
She is already transcendent. All she has done is to transcend the fate of the world. She can change the fate of the world.
And her own detachment has become the anchor of the entire world, so she can change that fate without affecting the fate of the world itself.
Her brother would be born, and so would she.
And, Emperor Ye Tian, Emperor Wushi, etc. will also be born, and the entire world will still move towards its determined destiny.
The only thing that changed was what the ruthless emperor wanted to change.
Zi Shou's method sounds simple and crude, but if it were replaced by his hometown's theory, then upgrading the dimension would solve everything.
Events that cannot be solved in two dimensions can be solved in three dimensions.
Events that cannot be solved in three dimensions can be solved in four dimensions.
The Ruthless Emperor has a permanent certificate, transcends all dimensions of time and space, and escapes the cause and effect destiny. So no matter how many dimensions the Zhetian World is, the Ruthless Emperor is one dimension higher than the Zhetian World.
The reason why the ruthless emperor never thought of this solution was because she was confused by caring and cared too much about her brother, which blinded her.
At this moment, the quilt was broken by one word, and she deduced everything in an instant.
After a while.
The ruthless emperor stood up, raised his hands to receive a salute from his son, and said, "Thank you, the warden."
After giving up the courtesy, she turned around and walked into the chaos, and the next moment she was outside the world that covers the sky.
She seemed to want her son to be observed, and she deliberately left a door in the T-shaped room.
Through that door, Zi Shou could directly see everything that happened next.
This made Zishou shake his head helplessly.
Sure enough, all the rules in the Ancient Emperor's Prison have no meaning at all to the ruthless emperor.
As long as the ruthless emperor wants to, she can even rewrite the rules in the ancient emperor's prison at any time.
at the same time.
The aura of the ruthless emperor instantly increased, and an invincible and unparalleled aura erupted from her body.
Billions of fairy flowers are blooming at her feet, and the flowers are in full bloom, dominating the world.
Buzz!
The surrounding chaos was stimulated by the aura of the ruthless emperor and suddenly seemed to be boiling. Countless chaos runes appeared from all around.
Under the power of the ruthless emperor, these chaotic runes condensed into the foundation of the great road, and then manifested chaotic phenomena in the heavens and the world.
A violent storm stirred up in the chaos.
Countless avenues of chaos are constantly being broken and reorganized.
Countless dimensions of time and space were turned into nothingness in the storm.
Zi Shou watched from the side with his eyes twitching wildly.
The ruthless emperor killed four masters of the secret realm with one finger in front of the Gate of Mysteries, and even directly destroyed the Eternal Clan. His unparalleled power was already invincible.
However, that was just a finger used by the ruthless emperor to suppress his own strength.
When her true power fully blooms, her mere existence is enough to completely destroy a secret realm.
Zishou was a little curious at this moment.
Is the ruthless emperor really still the ancient great Luo? Is it the realm of the mythical Da Luo?
Or is it that the ruthless emperor is now at a higher level than Pangu mentioned before?
Zi Shou's gaze became intense again. He could now see the scenery at a higher level like Pangu, which gave him even more motivation to move forward.
now.
The ruthless emperor stood outside the world of Zhe Tian.
Her crystal-like eyes reflected all dimensions, time and space, cause and effect and destiny in the world that covers the sky.
In those crystal eyes, the world covering the sky gradually turned into a peerless sacred tree.
The crown of the tree covers endless chaos, countless time and space start at the roots, and branches and leaves spread out at the crown; countless causes and effects are nurtured in the roots and turned into fate in the crown.
then.
Under the gaze of the ruthless emperor, the world that covers the sky really turned into a giant tree.
A world tree.
The ruthless emperor's eyes fell on a certain spot on the tree crown, where a young man was holding a little girl.
However, behind that branch, there are countless branches growing randomly, and in each branch there is a boy and a little girl.
Billions of teenagers holding hands with hundreds of millions of little girls.
They are either frozen in that moment forever, or they grow up peacefully and eventually grow old together.
But none of them were the past that the ruthless emperor wanted to find.
Her eyes turned to another part of the World Tree.
There
The shadow of a young man was blurry and shapeless.
Beside the young man's shadow, and behind the little girl, stood a ruthless emperor with unparalleled splendor and beauty.
The ruthless emperor looked at the ruthless emperor, as if he had finally made up his mind, and they nodded firmly at the same time.
Then, the ruthless emperor blinked.
The World Tree covering the world disappeared in her eyes.
As a result, the World Tree in the chaos also disappeared.
At this moment, the entire Zhetian world returned to its origin.
It's like a universe reversed to the moment when it was still a singularity.
next moment.
All the immortal flowers under the feet of the ruthless emperor turned into the foundations of endless avenues. These foundations of avenues flew and rotated, reorganizing the world that covers the sky in one breath.
An identical world that covers the sky.
The only difference is that.
It was that boy who was protected alone.
What should I do if the fish dies the moment it leaves the river when fishing on the river bank? Simple, directly rewrite the rules of this river so that the fish will not die if it leaves the river.
No.
This is not the best approach.
The best way...
Zi Shou was no longer shocked by the power of the ruthless emperor at this time. He just looked at everything in front of him calmly.
If the fish dies when it leaves the river, then create another river for the fish.
The effect of letting the fish leave this river becomes the cause of entering another river.
At that moment, the ruthless emperor created two worlds that cover the sky. They were not parallel worlds, but two sides of the same world.
The final result is that no matter which world her brother survives in, at that moment, the world where her brother lives will become the real and only world that covers the sky.
And in this way, the other causes and effects of Zhetian World will not change.
The ruthless emperor with unparalleled beauty and the most talented person in the ages will still exist, as will Emperor Ye Tian, Emperor Wu Shi, and so on.
Nothing has changed.
Only her brother survived.
One look is eternity.
One thought is eternity.
Right before Zi Shou's eyes, in just one thought, everything in the world that covers the sky has come to an end.
The answer that the ruthless emperor was looking for finally got the result she wanted.
Somewhere in the world tree.
The boy was calling the little girl who ran away to who knows where.
There is no more cause and effect for the young man to die.
The ruthless emperor looked back at Zi Shou.
Zishou saw a smile on her face for the first time.
Incomparable beauty.
Zi Shou smiled back and said, "Congratulations to the emperor for being released from prison."
The ruthless emperor smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the World Tree. With every step she took, she would become smaller.
When she walked up to the boy, she was once again the pitiable little girl with a pair of braids, a dirty face, and a pair of big eyes as pure as black gems.
Her little clothes were patched and tattered, and even her little shoes had holes in her toes.
She raised her head and smiled sweetly, beautifully and happily.
She looked at the boy and said, "Brother, I'm back."
She never thought that her brother had left her. She always thought that she had lost her way and could not find her brother.
Now, she found it.
The young man stretched out his hand, took hers, and went home talking and laughing.
It was a small, shabby, but cozy home.
There, she would never be separated from her brother.
Zishou stood in front of the gate, watching all this quietly, and slowly showed a smile.
He raised his head and saw somewhere in the World Tree, an invincible figure with a big cauldron on his head, nodding to him as a sign of goodwill.
Then, that peerless figure turned and left.
Zi Shou took a deep look at the position where the figure left, then smiled, turned around, and returned to the Ancient Emperor's Prison.
The next moment.
[The heart knot of the Cruel Emperor has been eliminated by 100%, and all the abilities of the Cruel Emperor have been obtained. 】
