Decision; Extract the Fate Line?
"As for recent events, there is indeed one. I heard that Vice Admiral Garp, the Navy Hero, is going on leave and has returned to the East Blue..."
This time, the two dared not waste any more time, fearing that Wu Tong might kill them in a fit of anger.
So, one after another, they quickly answered all of Wu Tong's questions.
After hearing what the two said, Wu Tong fell silent:
January 7, 1520 (Sea Calendar)?
Isn't this the year that Luffy, the king of the background and the pirate king Luffy sail?
If he remembers correctly, Wang Luffy set sail on his 17th birthday, so based on that time, it should be around May 5th of this year, right?
Doesn't that mean that Luffy, the guy with the background, is still in Foosha Village?
Hmm... wait a minute...
Foosha Village? And the Goa Kingdom!
Damn, those two names he mentioned sound so familiar!
It turns out they've been transported directly to the beginner village of the One Piece World!
Moreover, it seems to be the starting village before the main story begins.
Thinking of this, Wu Tong looked at the women beside him and asked:
"What do you guys think? Should we take a trip to Foosha Village and see what the protagonist of this world is like?"
The other women stood aside and naturally heard Alvida's words, and understood the current time period.
Therefore, they all understood the meaning behind Wu Tong's words.
So, the women exchanged glances and saw mutual attraction in each other's eyes.
Then, Elysia spoke on behalf of the group:
"Since it's not far away, let's go take a look together."
Anyway, we're all out traveling, so it doesn't matter where we go, right?
Besides, didn't they say that Lieutenant General Garp was also back?
Now that he's back, he'll probably go to Foosha Village too, right? What if we run into each other?
Honestly, we'd really like to meet this legendary Navy Hero.
Elysia spoke with great enthusiasm, her eyes sparkling as if she couldn't wait any longer.
Seeing this, Wu Tong nodded indifferently and said:
"Okay, I don't have any problems anyway, you guys decide."
Wu Tong had no objection to this. He was very clear about his own identity. He came to this world to be a companion, and he didn't care about anything else.
After saying that, Wu Tong looked at Alvida, who was still bound in the air, and suddenly seemed to remember something. Then he casually made a gesture towards Alvida.
Suddenly, a seemingly ethereal, dreamlike "thread" emerged from Alvida's body under everyone's curious gaze, and then drifted leisurely to Wu Tong's front.
Then, Wu Tong reached out and fiddled with the wire in front of him, as if he were looking for something on it.
Upon seeing this, the women all turned their curious gazes toward it.
When the women finally noticed the "line," they were shocked to realize:
This isn't some kind of "line," it's Alvida's entire life!
It's no wonder the women were so moved, because along this "line," they had truly observed the life of a woman named Alvida:
That has already been experienced, the unchangeable, eternal past.
The present moment, a down-to-earth existence, that we are experiencing right now.
And the endless future she might experience, which gradually unfolds due to countless different choices.
After understanding the information contained within this "thread," the women were all utterly astonished, and countless doubts welled up in their hearts:
What exactly is this "thread"?
Why is Alvida's entire life, and even the future she hasn't yet experienced, shown on this "line"?
Are those countless possible futures the future she will experience...?
If so, does that mean that a person's fate is predetermined by a "line"?
If Alvida's fate is truly predetermined, is this fate a unique feature of this world, or a phenomenon present in all worlds?
If this phenomenon exists in all worlds, then wouldn't their fates already be predetermined by "threads"?
The more the women thought about it, the more horrified they became, and the more terrifying the thought became. Suddenly, they all had a feeling of collapse.
After a moment, Ruan Qingyan organized her thoughts and then cautiously asked, "Brother Wu Tong, what exactly is this 'thread'?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tong did not stop what he was doing, and replied without turning his head:
"This 'thread'?"
She is Alvida's Fate Line, containing all the fates of her entire life!
Everyone present was taken aback upon hearing Wu Tong's words.
Yun Ying's mouth dropped open in astonishment, and she cried out in a state of near collapse:
"Fate... line?!
It really is a line that contains the destiny of a person's entire life. Does this mean that everyone's fate is truly predetermined?
"Of course not, how could that be? How could a person's fate be predetermined?"
Life is like a woven thread, but it should be as solid as a rock.
What determines a person's fate is always their heart, not some so-called destiny.
In response to Yun Ying's surprise and doubt, Wu Tong shook his head, directly denying the notion that fate is forever fixed.
As the saying goes, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens." Having witnessed the vastness of the Myriad Realms, Wu Tong has never believed in any predetermined destiny.
If you are strong enough, then so-called fate is nothing more than a toy in your hand.
Upon hearing Wu Tong's words, Yun Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the thread in Wu Tong's hand, she still felt a pang of anxiety. "But this 'thread,' it..."
You mean this?
Looking at everyone's expressions and then at the "thread" in his hand, Wu Tong immediately understood their thoughts. He smiled, shook his head, and said:
You've misunderstood.
This is merely my ability, something I created based on some special powers, a small attempt to explore cause and effect and destiny.
Moreover, this is only a semi-finished product. It is not what you think, the legendary mythological thread that fixes people's fate.
As for why I call it the "Fate Line," haha... it's purely because it sounds more sophisticated that way.
After explaining, Wu Tong ignored the women's expressions and turned his head back to look at the Fate Line in front of him.
It's classy...
After hearing Wu Tong's explanation, the women's faces darkened, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.
