Chapter 608 Ten Million and One Time

"Records and truths" have been accumulated for 8,000 years, passed down from generation to generation by practitioners, and learned by the Silent Ones. It is a supreme wonder that has cost countless efforts and resources, and a unique miracle of embodiment.

——【Infinity of All Things】.

From the interlaced light and shadow of this crystal ball, there is endless information flowing, and countless images flash every second. If ordinary people stare at it, their consciousness will be overwhelmed and collapse into the tiniest dust.

Song Shi did not look at it.

He stared at the former tightly, his eyes did not move at all - so even Song Shi gradually began to feel tired.

". Incredible."

After a long while, Song Shi uttered four words.

"You actually came up with the idea of ​​making this kind of thing, and you actually made it."

"Thank you for the compliment." Mortimer admired the translucent crystal ball, and the interlaced spots of light reflected on his face, like the pattern of a Klein bottle, magnificent and strange: "The compliment from Nandou is still quite valuable."

"The law of space and time and the law of causality are the basic theories that constitute the 'infinity of all things',"

Mortimer's eyes finally moved away from the crystal ball.

"The predecessors of the Silent Society of all generations pondered and thought hard. They pessimistically and rationally realized that if they continued like this, they might occasionally ascend, but overall they would still decline endlessly. The future of Terra would only be the eternal end, and this was the final answer."

"Hey"

Song Shi sighed.

"Remember the historical nodes?" Mortimer smiled: "Our history has never been a straight line. On the contrary, it is made up of many segments of varying lengths, and the birth of these segments is the 'historical nodes'."

"And the historical nodes affect the direction of the future." Song Shi exhaled.

"Take the corporate alliance as an example, a common and unpredictable company man."

"He had just worked for thirteen hours in a row, dragged his tired body back home, took a breath, drank a sip of water, and then took out the dinner that had been prepared long ago from the refrigerator. Heating pre-made white maggot strips or cold chewing energy bars, no matter which one he chose, the impact on the future of the world is negligible. In fact, even the word 'negligible', I think it is too exaggerated."

Song Shi said: "Negligible."

"That's right."

Mortimer nodded.

"So, if we want to change the future, we don't need to go through the whole picture from beginning to end, and reach every detail inch by inch. We only need to lock on the historical node and use it as a starting point. Different choices from it can lead to different futures."

Mortimer raised his index finger and tapped the air lightly.

A thumb-sized white light star appeared alone.

Mortimer tapped again.

The light star flickered, and suddenly a line, no, many lines, were split, some winding or straight, spreading in different directions.

Immediately afterwards, new light stars began to appear on these spreading lines. Some of them were brighter, some were darker, some appeared faster, and some appeared slower, but every time a new light star lit up, it would inevitably lead to many new branches extending from this line.

In the blink of an eye, this network expanded geometrically, and the lines inside were crisscrossed and complex beyond imagination. Starting from a light star, it expanded in an instant and turned into a complex scene that filled every inch of Song Shi's vision.

It was daunting to look at.

"Following this line of thought, let's move forward."

Mortimer allowed the network to continue to expand, connect and change: "History is knowable, but the future is invisible. This is an indisputable truth for most people, including most psychics."

"To be honest, even if I am not very specialized in 'prophecy', even if I am specialized in the fifth ring [Revelation] of 'prophecy', it is impossible to predict every event in detail and see through all the future."

"We [Revelation] are actually the most reasonable, and we are not like some people think. That's so weird."

"Is there any reason for [balance]?"

Mortimer laughed dumbly: "I thought everyone knew. [Balance] is the most unbalanced and unreasonable way."

"——Back to what I said just now."

"But if we can grasp every historical node and know all the branches after it is chosen, then the future is no longer an unknown thing for us, but a "future history" that can be foreseen and predicted accurately in advance."

"This is [the infinity of all things]."

Song Shi pinched his eyebrows and said softly.

"You rely on the records and truths collected in the past eight thousand years to reproduce eight thousand years of history, and then simulate it. I can't say whether it is still a "simulation". "

No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

"Heavenly Way, Akashic Record, Origin." Mortimer kindly provided some more suitable titles.

"——But more than that. "

At this time, Song Shi shook his head.

He stared at the other party with a sharp gaze.

"This is just the first step, right?"

"A keen sense of smell." Mortimer smiled reservedly: "Even we dare not say that we have mastered the 'absolutely correct' history, but history is inherently corrective, and some mistakes will be passively transformed into truth before its torrent."

"But it's still not enough-"

"If that's all, it still won't change anything."

Mortimer's expression was as if he was giving a grand speech in the auditorium, but in fact, his heart was already full of joy, ready to suddenly confess to the teacher in the judges' seat in the next moment, waking up all the drowsy audience.

"——The law of time and space."

Song Shi spoke word by word.

"Time". This is a concept equivalent to "space" in theory.

However, in reality, in the long years of the Sixfold Path, the frequency of the latter is significantly higher than the former. Even those spiritual powers involving the concept of "time" are mostly limited to normal effects such as opening time gaps, local acceleration, time flow slowing, and future contracts.

Mortimer chuckled: "If [Infinity of All Things] encompasses the entire Terra, then all problems are no longer problems, and all costs are no longer costs."

"We can travel through various historical nodes at will, and find limited choices from infinite choices - choices that lead to the best future. We will have countless trial and error possibilities, and every current, wrong branch will become a step towards a better experience."

"Remember what I said? Those unscrupulous, willful lunatics? Well, let them fight! It doesn't matter if they fight until the world collapses and everything is destroyed!"

"Even if Terra is destroyed 10 million times, we will still have the possibility of the 10 millionth and 1st time!"
