Chapter 298 The Worm's Gauntlet

When Annan heard this, his heart moved.

He suddenly thought of Tianche Yushou.

It seems that Tianche Yushou died suddenly while transporting Sisyphus to the Light Realm.

If "on the way" refers to [the gate between worms and cicadas]...

"—Did the worm kill the Skycarriage in this way?"

In an instant, Annan figured everything out.

In this way, everything can be explained——

It was the worm who realized what he could do after getting the wisdom of "Black Annan".

The worm did cross the timeline, and killed the Skycarriage through the causal force driven by the extremely long history from never to the past.

But not the newborn worm, relying on the "placental" connection, from the time when he was just born to attack the past. Because the worms of that period did not have that kind of intelligence, nor did they have that kind of power.

Moreover, Tianche Yushou was originally not affected by worms.

Because the gods who have transcended the first history have the protection of the timeline itself, as long as the sublimation is completed, they can exist in the present, the past, and the future at the same time. Even if the grandparents of the gods were killed in the past, it would not be able to affect the existence of the gods.

The sky cart has the ability to trace back from the present to the future - which is the so-called "fate is the track of the sky cart".

The Sky Chariot can easily see into the future and decide which direction the world will lead... because she is the one who drives the chariot.

Gods are travelers in chariots who can guess the direction of fate; but mortals are just insects on wheels, and only after fate has passed can they realize that it is fate itself.

But this also means that when Che Yushou used this method to get in touch with the future.

In the future, the worms who got the wisdom and memory of "Black Annan" also came into contact with the Tianche Yushou in the past in this way.

In fact, she has seen the end of the future.

In other words, Tianche Yushou was trying to see the future on the way to ascension... and in this way, saw the worm at the end. The Tianche Yushou on the way to sublimation has no power to resist the worms,

That's why she was killed by the worm without any resistance.

——To put it simply, when Tianche Yushou was driving, he distractedly took a look outside.

And at that moment, the train crashed.

From the day of Sisyphus' ascension to Annan's present one hundred and eighty-six years later—such a long distance.

The Skycart and the Skycart of Shadows started from two stages—collided at full speed under the inertia of history, and were strongly interfered by the opponent's force. The worm would then be "dead in the future", and the Crane Master would be "dead in the past".

The worm has known the route of the Crane from the very beginning, and starting from the future one hundred and eighty-six years later, it is traveling in the opposite direction and moving forward at full speed.

... This tragedy is indeed related to Sisyphus.

But He is only a trigger.

Because of the priesthood of "justice", Tianche Yushou felt anxious and looked forward to the future.

——Because of Sisyphus, Tianche Yushou decided to look to the future; because Tianche Yushou looked to the future in the way of sublimation, she was "knocked to death" by worms; and because of the death of Tianche Yushou, Annan today will As a skycar, he was summoned to this world by Miss Luck; because Annan also tried to peek at [the gate between worms and cicadas], the worms stole his wisdom and memory; and the worms are through this wisdom and memory Only then did he decide to make such a move and kill Tianche Yushou from the future.

A perfect closed loop that can only be realized with the existence of Annan.

A "grandfather paradox".

One of the essences of worms is [paradox]. All rituals that rely on paradox to achieve "infinity" have the participation of worms.

...Is this also a link of fate?

"Fate is the rut of the heavenly chariot."

The rotten man looked at Annan and smiled calmly and gently: "And since you heard about His Majesty's new ability at this time, you have become His Majesty's new anchor. Unless you—and you."

The rotting man raised his orchid finger, pointed at the players behind Annan, and said slowly in a soft tone: "Die here with me. Otherwise, His Majesty will always have this ability.

"What does that mean?

"From now on, as long as the 'Crane Crane' still exists, the Crane Crane will never be used. Otherwise, all ascenders will die before completing their ascension... This is the 'Crane Crane Paradox'.

"From now on, this world is doomed to destruction. Because a new skycar was born, but it seems like it was never born... Without a new living pillar to anchor the truth, this world will gradually go into chaos."

The corner of his mouth raised slightly: "And all of this was done by me.

"It's because I said these few words at this moment and here... that's all."

Annan looked at the rotten man with some pity.

——The rotting man must not know yet.

All of what he said was just a slap in the face. It is to give Annan a "supplementary" explanation intimately.

From the very beginning, Annan was doomed to defeat the worm.

Otherwise, the world will be destroyed no matter what; and if Annan defeats the worm, then this desperate situation will be broken by itself.

Rotten is indeed a smart person, but his structure is too small.

He didn't even realize...why the worm asked him to kill him.

It's not that the worm thinks that the rotting man can really kill itself.

It's because, the worm expects that the rotten man will say these words at this moment, so that Annan [understands] the truth of "the death of Tianche Yushou".

In this way, Annan must travel to the future.

——This is the gauntlet for the battle.

Because Annan will realize that... the moment he ascends in the "past", he will be directly hit and killed by worms rushing from the future. The future that Annan saw was too shallow to have the power to resist the worm that was about to collide with the Skycart.

And it won't work if you go to the future of worms.

Because that means Crane and Worm become two separate entities. Cranes cannot affect Worms, and worms cannot affect Cranes.

The worm is desperate to kill Annan, and Annan also hopes to end the existence of the worm.

There is only one moment when there is a fair duel.

That is, in the "year" of the worm.

Annan had to go to that year for ascension. When the worm had no "starting inertia", he and Annan collided at zero distance.

——It was a fight to the death.

At the moment when the crane completed its ascension, the moment when it did not grasp all the abilities; it was also at the moment when the worm was unable to use the causal power of history to disturb Annan's ascension.

It is like two people holding a revolver, walking with their backs on the single-plank bridge.

...This is something that only "beast" worms will not do anyway. Because the worms at that time only had the desire to survive as a beast.

But the current worm has the personality and pride of Black Annan.

He knew that Annan would definitely fight.

- Indeed.

"I accept your gauntlet."

Annan narrowed his eyes, speaking to himself in a language that the rotten man could not understand.

Because he was not talking to the rotting man, but looking at the future worm.

Even Annan's mortal body now... can't see the future at all.

But he believed that the worm must have seen it all. Received its own response.

In the depths of Annan's pupils, a god-like light shone.

When Annan looked at the rotten man again, the rotten man felt heart palpitations for a moment—if he still had heart.

The rotten man seemed to see the shadow of "that majesty" from Annan.

Annan declared: "Then, it's time for you to exit here."
