Chapter 310
The moment of true and complete completion will be the moment you hatch from the Cocoon of the End.
The system calmly stated, "You have achieved a transformation, and the system has been updated in accordance with your power. Simultaneously, the entire past and future have undergone subtle changes as you have grown."
This is especially true for the Worldline that is relevant to you.
She said.
[Perhaps you yourself haven't even realized it...]
Although you always felt that the virtual future depicted on the screen was fake, merely a backdrop for your creation.
But in the celestial canopy, you frequently compare that future with the present.
The people of this world believe in this future as much as possible, precisely because you brought this future to life in your creation.
At your level, the difference between truth and falsehood isn't that significant.
[When you were creating this, you actually believed that future was real, and that's what propelled Tianmu to create the video, thereby influencing and changing the world...]
[...]
You believe it to be true.
Then it must be real.
[...]
"Why didn't you remind me while you were observing?"
Kiana did not mean to blame anyone.
However, when she browses the future, she usually just glances at it.
As long as there are basically no problems, she won't mind too much.
More in-depth and detailed control is usually handled by the system.
If something really needs to be discovered, it should indeed be the system that discovers it first.
Why was she so surprised too?
As you said, I should indeed have been the first to discover it.
[But today, the number of Worldline is countless, billions of times greater than when we first saw them.]
Time is like a long river, like the vast ocean.
Some Worldline remain Worldline, while others have surfaced.
[...]
The system spoke calmly.
[Only now, looking back, do we realize that such a colossal entity lurked in the sea, an existence more resilient yet also more fragile than any other Worldline or Worldline.]
It is resilient because other Worldline, such as the Bubble Illusion, are more likely to collapse.
It is also fragile because it is too closely connected to the present; it will not disappear, but everything inside it can change at any time.
Kiana understands.
Of course she knew that.
She couldn't quite describe how she felt right now.
She can arbitrarily change the Worldline and adjust time, thereby influencing the future and making it better.
It is precisely because those future Worldline are merely illusory possibilities.
It was manifested in her eyes.
But in itself, it does not exist.
But!
Alila has already appeared.
It's like a virtual character has appeared in reality.
Can you say that she never existed?
Impossible...
It's impossible!
The system then spoke again at the opportune moment.
She said.
Actually, you don't need to blame yourself too much.
Although their birth was indeed a result of your unconscious actions.
[...]
But sometimes, the cycle of cause and effect doesn't have such a clear sequential relationship. Isn't that right?
[...]
She said.
For you and me, time doesn't necessarily just flow downstream.
Similarly, it's not necessarily the case that a cause precedes an effect.
[...]
Although we only became aware of her existence after discovering this Future World node.
[It's also possible that this is a pivotal point in the world, because it exists only because we've discovered it, and only then will it truly appear in the future.]
Isn't that right?
PS1: First update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!
298. Alila: So I came here to deliver a letter.
[However, after fully tracing the cause and effect, there are many explanations, both positive and negative, and many different interpretations...]
But host, I prefer the current arrangement.
[...]
The system's inorganic voice remained gentle.
She said.
No matter how you deviate from the Worldline, everything else is just a possibility. We, on the other hand, are simply trying to bring this main thread of the future closer to other Worldline.
Essentially, it's about changing the main thread.
[And as this main thread is constantly altered, accumulated, adjusted, channeled, rewritten, and even distorted by various elements... countless disordered moments of time and space will form a valley downstream, like silt.]
This isn't something that's hard to understand.
[...]
The system said.
Your evolution grants you a greater weight and a more formidable proportion in the River of Time.
Your every action can more easily influence the past and the future.
[...]
Even if the past is fixed, the only thing that can change is the future.
But the future that concerns you, even unintentionally, will make it more apparent. It will stand out far beyond other Worldline, because this is your future, the future you desire.
[Your creations, time and again, set the stage for our future, and we, time and again, tune it for you. Even you yourself may not realize that the future you desire, the future you yearn for, is precisely this kind of future.]
[...]
Rather than saying you gradually brought that Future World to life, it was actually you who, at the moment of your ascension to godhood, completed the evolution.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that it was only today, after meeting Miss Alila, that you realized this world is real.
[It is because of your recognition that this world becomes real. It becomes truly established.]
[...]
She spoke frankly.
Therefore, you don't need to feel remorse or worry about what we've done in the past.
[Because of Alila's appearance, you know about that future turning point; because you know about it, that future turning point finally takes shape.]
[Only when the future nodes take shape can Alila exist, allowing her to live, continue to exist, and even reverse her current course to travel through time.]
This forms a logical closed loop.
[...]
"I understand what you mean..." Kiana is not stupid.
She just doesn't like to use her brain, not that she's brainless.
The system is trying to tell her that her worries are completely unnecessary and there's not that much nonsense involved.
Because!
To put it bluntly.
That future era, or even the era that has only truly begun now.
In the past, they could say they existed or they didn't exist, whether things changed or not.
Regardless of what Kiana has done.
It doesn't matter.
That is the fact that the Future World truly existed first.
It filled in the past and made up for all the gaps.
If you say it appeared gradually over time, that's not wrong.
However, the system tends to favor this explanation, naturally because this solution is more reasonable.
It is also more credible among all the analyses.
Otherwise!
Even if the system and Kiana are blind, it's impossible that they wouldn't be able to detect the countless future Worldline accumulating downstream and eventually forming a node similar to an absolute convergence.
By now, Kiana, if not omniscient and omnipotent, is at least not far from being omnipotent on the entire planet.
She had absolutely no idea.
This, perhaps, is enough to explain the problem.
Is that right?
Only!
Kiana definitely can't say that to the girls.
Since that future point in time truly exists, whether it's because I emerged from the Cocoon of the End, ascended to godhood, and ultimately became real, or because I just acknowledged Alila, that future point in time is indeed real.
It's nothing.
They all started from the same point.
Ultimately, it connected the past and the future.
Since from the very beginning, when Kiana revealed the sky, she said that there was such a future.
So this future, from that time onward, or even earlier, the thought that she had already existed.
Let's just assume that this Future World isn't a lie.
That's all I have to say.
As for why...
This world is supposed to be the future, but it doesn't feel like the future at all.
