Chapter 219
After piercing Mizhen’s body, the black sword body turned into a liquid-like flowing form, expanding and contracting, and then all poured into the wound.
The next moment, Mizhen raised his head and fell down.
Niyue Shigure stopped talking to herself, stretched out her hand to support him, then breathed a sigh of relief tiredly, knelt down on the ground, let Mizhen rest on her lap, and said softly:” Please be sure to come back safely…”
……………………………………
As the world often describes, time is like a river, flowing from high to low, with countless tributaries, but no matter what, all most living beings can feel is”now” It’s just a moment, the past is just an illusion used to remember, and the future is a fog that is difficult to see clearly.
In the final analysis, the so-called time has always been just a virtual unit used to measure material changes. It is not an existence that can be embodied. If it is to be accurately described,”change” may be more appropriate.
——For those things that are so abstract and grand that they are difficult to understand, people will use the tools of imagination to downgrade them, so that their eyes, which are limited by biological limitations, can see a certain aspect of it clearly.
Just like Mizhen at this moment.
To correctly grasp the”change”, his strength is too weak, his brain is too poor, and his senses are too concrete. Therefore, he can only use certain concepts in his own worldview to put a cognitive filter on the scene in front of him. , in order to achieve a trivial understanding in its current form.
For example… I am a fish, worm, line segment, or anything that is moving forward in the long river of time.
But now, he jumped out of the river and saw the”three-dimensional” scenery.
Of course,”seeing” is just a metaphor, and the five senses have no role here. If the experience of using Liuyue for many years had not given him a glimmer of understanding of the nature of time, he would only have fallen into a state of emptiness and confusion. During the period, you can’t do anything or feel anything until your physical body dies.
I see… Is this the risk that Utsutsuki Shigure was talking about?
Indeed, if he fell into silence like this, nothing could possibly save him…
With a bit of lingering panic, Mizhen looked around.
Starting from a certain”point”, time begins to flow.
And because of any slight difference, the rivers are divided, and finally form an intricate network of rivers that is far beyond the imagination of any living being.
The past, present and future are connected, forming a kaleidoscope-like scene.
Although it is only a sudden leap, in the world above the long river of time, a moment can be eternity, and eternity can also be a moment, so as long as he wants, he can stay here as long as he wants, until everything is possible until the end.
Wait… the end?
A severe sense of crisis made Mizhen cast a horrified and incomprehensible gaze towards the future world.
——There, the flow of time stopped. Among the huge time tributaries like the sands of the Ganges River, nearly half of them fell into complete silence at a certain moment in the future. They neither moved forward nor retreated, but just stood still. Everything returned to nothingness.
And the deadline for that future is… one hundred and fifty years later!
A huge sense of fear gripped Mizhen’s heart for a moment.
Even if we have obtained the result from historical retrospection that the world may be destroyed, no matter how many people die in the movie, it may not be as shocking as killing a chicken in real life.”Seeing” and”experience it personally” They are two completely different concepts, and his sensitive sense of time can truly feel how terrifying the”stillness” at the end of time is… The moth sealed in amber seems to have a huge Artistic component, but what if the moth was alive?
That’s right… if you fall into that kind of still state, you won’t even be considered dead. Instead, you’ll most likely be able to experience the darkness and silence of nothingness while retaining your senses, forever.
Are you kidding…this kind of future… no matter what you do, you must not let the future develop like that!
“Do you think so?”
A sudden”voice” rang in his ears.
Of course, there is no so-called sound in this place. What comes into Mizhen’s perception is just a message, a piece of information.
There are other people in this place. ?!
Mizhen was startled and immediately thought of a possibility.
He looked back – of course this action did not exist, he just extended his perception along the place where the information came from.
Then, he”looked”Arrived at a familiar”glow”.
Just like everyone who has mastered the skills of using the spirit son, he saw the blue”spirit glow” in this place where color and light and darkness do not exist. That glow Presenting a vague human form, standing on one side of the long river of time like a pedestrian on the shore, showing his incomprehensible grandeur
“……Spirit King?”
“That’s right.”
The figure clapped his hands and sent another message:”Congratulations, you finally broke away from the linear perspective a little bit.”
“I……”
Mizhen got used to this wonderful way of communication, and soon started to imitate it:”Have you… been here all the time?”
“In the words of my descendants, this is called ‘omniscience and omnipotence’’”The Spirit King replied,”Although I am far from being ‘complete’, if it is just a name, it is okay to understand it this way.”
Mizhen extended his perception to the future and hesitantly sent a message:”So you are indeed …Always known?”
“What do you think?”
“This is a bit embarrassing……”Mizhen smiled bitterly,”I am only here because of my abilities and characteristics. How can I explain clearly what the world in your eyes is like?”
“Let’s make it clear—if divided by integers in percentage terms, without intervention, there is a 52% chance that the future will be destroyed by the original nothingness, and a 37% chance that it will be ruled by Yhwach. , the possibility of overcoming all world-destroying disasters is only 11%”
The Spirit King gave a straightforward explanation:”Is this clear enough?”
“Enough, enough, completely enough……”
Although there was no body in this place, Mizhen still felt that his head and stomach were churning violently. After realizing how terrifying the initial nothingness was, he abandoned his useless face in an instant. He responded decisively to the Spirit King:”What price do you think it takes for you to save lives? How about… I give you a knock?””
“Why are you so panicked? Have you forgotten what I said?”
The Spirit King came closer and conveyed to Mizhen a reenactment of the first conversation between them:”After me, there will be no one who can defeat the world by himself – this is terrible. Not a lie”
“But that thing looks like it can eat hundreds of first-class spirits without hiccups… Doesn’t this count as defeating the world by oneself?”
“If it’s ‘real it’, then indeed it is”
“Um?”Mizhen slowly asked a question,”Can it still be fake?”
“The torso in the Spirit King’s Palace, the scattered sand in Hueco Mundo, and the fire dragon in Hell are all just the remnants of us. The Spirit
King gave an unexpected answer:”It’s like putting a pen on paper. What remains in the three realms is not the pen itself, but the shadow left by the light.””
I understand the truth, but Mizhen’s attention is focused on another thing that makes people feel numb:”Fire dragon in hell?”
“The so-called ‘Lord of Hell’’——It doesn’t interfere with anything, it just exists.”The Spirit King comforted,”To you, it is like a scary box. As long as you don’t touch it, you don’t have to worry about any problems.”
Generally speaking… once you mention the words ‘it’s safe as long as you don’t do anything’, something will definitely happen…
Mizhen swallowed these words back.
Anyway, the Spirit King knows better than him, and it’s not him. Whatever you say is what it is……
“alright, I got it……”He tried his best to convey a calm message,”Then you appear here… there must be a purpose, right? I guess it is unlikely that you are here to chat with me.”
“You can keep chatting if you want.”
The Spirit King made a joke,”The purpose…just think that I’m here to give you a ‘clue’.”
“clue?”
The Spirit King sent a powerful message:”A clue that can lead you to a happy ending. Mizhen became energetic and said,”
Please elaborate!””
“Get all the ‘essence’ that transcends matter. In this case, you can gain the power to compete with the future.”
The Spirit King sent a message that looked like a mission,”��In this way, I can be regarded as fulfilling my friend’s instructions – then goodbye……”
“Entrustment? What is beyond matter? What is the marrow?”
Mizhen wanted to ask, but he saw the brilliance of the Spirit King becoming ethereal.
Soon it completely disappeared from Mizhen’s”vision”, making him fall into that boring world without color or sensitivity again..
But like a seamless connection, another existence suddenly appeared in the range of Mizhen’s perception.
“Hello, myself.
Something as ethereal as a shadow came with this message:”How is it?” Do you see the future clearly?”
“Who are you……”
A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
It’s like the set of eyebrows you can see every day when you wake up and look in the mirror, but it also reveals the silence of a corpse… weird, very weird.
Just like the ancient stone carvings I saw when I accidentally entered an ancient temple in the mountains, I didn’t feel familiar at first. But when I took a quick look at the thunder in the middle of the night, I found that the rough face was so similar to my own.
“You and I can’t stay here too long, so I’ll keep this short.”
The approaching shadow conveyed this message:”Only by communicating here can we avoid the eyes and ears of anyone else.”
