Qin's Moon Star System (I)

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

The greeting, though of considerable value, contained the Ice Empress's endless confusion.

At this moment, she could finally understand Snow Empress.

I understand why Snow Empress didn't respond for so long.

Because whoever takes over.

Upon seeing this scene before my eyes.

They were unable to respond in a short period of time.

"I'm actually a character in a novel?"

"Still a supporting role?"

"No... how could I be a supporting character?"

"Not only did he become Huo Yuhao's Second Spirit, but he also ended up marrying that giant worm Tianmeng... What the hell is this writing?"

Ice Empress pounded on the table made of spiritual energy in Ye Qingcang's Sea of Consciousness. Even though she still looked angry, she had been on the verge of collapse for a while. The main point was the former, the character in the novel. This was more terrifying than so-called fatalism, because fate at most represents the future and is defined in a changing form, while the novel means that they are just puppets with different personalities, created according to the needs of the plot.

Life or death is good.

I'd rather die.

What determined them wasn't even Destiny!

Rather, it's the author's pen!

"How absurd!"

"I won't accept it!"

Ice Empress roared and slammed the table.

Unfortunately, it didn't get lifted.

Because the person pressing down on this table is Snow Empress.

In addition, there is Ye Qingcang.

Compared to the impotent and furious Ice Empress, Snow Empress, although she seems to have been gone for some time, is still somewhat comprehensible.

The heterochromatic pupils, marked with snowflake patterns, rolled around.

His gaze fell on Ye Qingcang, who was standing to the side.

Take a deep breath.

Even though she is already a soul.

But this did not affect her instincts.

Then, he single-handedly suppressed Ice Empress, essentially silencing Ice Empress with his overwhelming mental power. There was no skill involved; it was pure numerical superiority. Only after that did he turn to Ye Qingcang and say in a deep voice, "Don't you have anything to say to me, and to Bing'er... This is indeed a huge secret, I admit, but your actions—no, your motives—are highly suspicious. I can see your emotions, just as I can see these memories of yours... Well, while it's not something to be proud of, it's not something I'm ashamed to talk about either. It's just that your first stirrings of emotion were with Bing'er and me in the manga, you could say it was your awakening... So, my feelings are very complicated right now. I don't even know what I'm saying. Anyway, my image of you has indeed changed a lot..."

Ye Qingcang was well aware of all of this.

But he has always been a magnanimous person.

So he laughed.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

They didn't avoid the topic either.

He accepted Snow Empress's questioning and then faced it honestly.

"Now that things have come to this, just say what you have to say. There's no need to save face for me... and there's no need to worry about what I might do to you."

People change.

"Sometimes change is good."

"Sometimes change is bad."

"But how should good and bad be defined?"

The answer is... a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions!

"Just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms I read from childhood... When I was young, I liked Liu Bei, simply because they were the main characters. I watched the whole story from the protagonist's perspective. Although it's an ensemble piece, the perspectives can be defined proportionally. Moreover, the exciting later stories mainly revolve around Prime Minister Prime Minister Zhuge, so I naturally had a great fondness for Shu Han... But when I became a teenager and went through my rebellious phase, I preferred Cao Cao because I liked Cao Cao's saying, 'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.' I admire the victor for kingship because Cao Cao held the upper hand..." ...But later on, I sided with Shu Han again. This wasn't just because I realized the error of my youthful criticisms of Liu Bei, accusing him of hypocrisy. In fact, Guan Yu saw Liu Bei as a hero, as did Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and even the near-perfect Prime Minister saw it. Only I, the fool, failed to see it. Another reason was that I understood a principle: a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. No matter how many people criticized me for hypocrisy, when I used the entire nation's resources to avenge my sworn brother Guan Yu, righteousness was given its best interpretation at that moment!

"Therefore, I am a contradictory person."

"I never shy away from this."

"Just like I have normal desires."

"But whether or not they are controlled by desire."

"That's the most important thing!"

"That's why what you see as a dirty history is a path I also find unbearable to look at, but one I will clearly acknowledge!"

My attitude towards you is simply to leave it to fate.

"I need to."

"So, I've come to fight for it."

"I don't care who the main character is."

"I won't say that I have to give way to whoever is the main character or whoever is the supporting character, for example, by watching Nan Nan repeat the mistakes of the original work."

"I changed history."

"But I have no regrets."

"Because my contact with Nan Nan was accidental, and because I helped Nan Nan out of conscience, I don't like tragedies. So, when I can change things, and without sacrificing everything I own, I am willing to do my best to intervene and make a change."

"Including right now."

"I could have simply not shown you these things."

"I will not show you the way I came from."

"Don't look at those past scars."

"But what's the point?"

Ye Qingcang smiled and shrugged, his overly frank demeanor and tone, along with his words, causing the Snow Empress and Ice Empress's already constricted pupils to tremble violently. "I don't mind showing you the real me, heart for heart, life for life. Whether I believe you or not is my business, and whether you believe me or not is your business. You can remain silent now, and then, when I face many unknown opponents in the future, suddenly betray me, stabbing me in the back at a crucial moment... But I'm not afraid, because trusting the wrong person and paying the price is only right, just like I get punished for doing something wrong. When you get punished, you have to stand up straight; I don't need to elaborate on that... So, it's simply that my omnipotent image is shattered, and all my secrets are exposed. As long as you can withstand the condemnation of your conscience, what's wrong with me betting my life on you? It's just a matter of whether you're willing to betray me!"

a long time.

Snow Empress steadied herself.

Looking at Ye Qingcang, whose face was calm but whose heart was pounding.

She said softly, "I must say, Ye Qingcang, you have once again impressed me... I hope I used that word accurately."

"That would be my honor."

Ye Qingcang shook his head, unconvinced.

We should still exchange pleasantries.

But whether or not one is truly invested is another matter entirely.

"But have you ever considered this?" Snow Empress reminded her solemnly, "You might also be a character in an unknown novel!"

Ice Empress nodded vigorously.

Unfortunately, the magnitude was very small.

Because she was under the suppression of Snow Empress's mental power.

She is currently still in spirit form.

It's so difficult to express an opinion.

but...

"So what?"

Ye Qingcang's question once again surprised Snow Empress and Ice Empress.

"I am who I am!"

"Ye Qingcang!"

I don't know what my future holds.

"I don't know if my past is true or false."

"I'm not even sure if what's happening in front of me is real."

"But my values tell me..."

"Let the storm rage on!"

Even if I were a character in a novel, even if my life were arbitrarily rewritten by the author, even if I lost all my power, became an ant, and suffered endless torture, you can forget about making me submit!

"In other words, he can take everything away from me!"

"It can even erase the trace of my existence!"

"But he can't change the memories of those who have read the novel!"

"Readers may not remember me forever!"

"But they sometimes think about it when they wake up."

"It reminds me of a novel I read during my youth."

"Nice."

"Or perhaps it's just not good-looking."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single release, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"But they all share one thing in common... they are all things worth remembering!"

"That's enough!"

Ye Qingcang's vision is not just talk.

It was his heart.

That kind of unbreakable mentality.

And, at least for a moment, an eternal state of mind.

"Alright..." Snow Empress remained silent for a long time, then sighed Youyou and said, "Perhaps you are right, but I need time to process this."

"Can."

"Because I didn't expect you to accept it in a short time."

"Anyone who sees these facts."

"It would be difficult for anyone to remain calm."

"Of course, I have to ask if you have any other questions. I happen to have time now, so I can answer them all at once."

Ye Qingcang nodded.

He offered a well-thought-out suggestion.

Snow Empress didn't say anything.

Because she needs to think, her mind is in a mess.

But Ice Empress struggled.

Snow Empress suddenly realized that her silencing action had continued until now, and quickly withdrew it, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Bing'er, I forgot..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand."

"Because I was surprised too."

"I was shocked by this guy's true colors."

"How dare you harbor such improper thoughts towards me, the Emperor!"

Ice Empress stood with her hands on her hips, her large golden eyes warily fixed on Ye Qingcang not far away. Seeing Ye Qingcang's gaze politely shift downwards, she immediately reacted as if guarding against a thief, using her mental power to lengthen her dress until it completely covered her legs before stopping. "Of course, I have something to say. Didn't you just say I could ask you questions? Fine, then explain to me why these worlds you see are exactly the same as the ones you remember... how should I put it... anyway, why are they exactly the same?"

"Here, I will use three theories."

"One theory is the Matryoshka doll theory."

"One theory is a self-fulfilling trap."

One theory is Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly.

"The definition of the Matryoshka doll theory is very simple: outside of planets are other planets, and many planets together make up galaxies, such as the Solar System. And many galaxies similar to the Solar System make up the Milky Way Galaxy. And many galaxies similar to the Milky Way Galaxy make up large galaxy clusters and the universe."

"Perhaps tens of trillions of light-years away."

"This is my hometown."

"That's the planet I traveled to before."

"Perhaps it's the difference between three dimensions and two dimensions. It's like when we draw on a blank sheet of paper, the people in the drawing can't hurt us no matter how hard they try... But whatever it is, it's just a way for me to verify things one by one. As long as I don't die, I'll always find my way back."

"In this way, it's like a nesting doll."

"A big one is hidden inside a small one."

"A smaller one is hidden inside a smaller one."

"At worst... the journey begins again, and the struggle continues!"

"Who's afraid of who?"

"As for the self-proving trap, it is a rather clever technique of internal friction. For example, it makes me prove where I am now, whether I am a character in a novel... When I really think about these questions, I will really fall into this trap, because these questions will divert my energy, make me anxious, and make me forget my most fundamental thing in the constant analysis and deduction, which is my tireless and courageous heart... So, there is always a way out, and it is very important to be open-minded."

"And Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly is my interpretation of these novels and the world."

Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had turned into a butterfly.

"So much so that he pondered after waking from the dream."

"In the end, I became a butterfly, possessing the perspective and memories of a butterfly."

"It was the butterfly that transformed into me; I was merely returning to my original form just now."

"Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that... these authors saw in their dreams a special planet tens of trillions of light-years away, a history that left a deep impression on them, and they adapted it, following the trajectory of this history in the dark, as their masterpiece, and as a novel that circulated in their original world... because the existence of imagination is a miracle in itself. Any novel exists because the author wants to write it. If the author does not want to write, even if it is out of necessity for life, what they write will lose its imagination and become just simple words, uniformly returning to reality."

"So, they are the ones who glimpsed the history of this place."

"It was the history of this place that led them to this place."

"The compatibility is quite high... maybe."

"Anyway, all excuses are just for peace of mind."

"We need a reasonable explanation."

What do you think?

Ye Qingcang chuckled and asked Ice Empress in return.

Ice Empress was completely baffled by the question.

Ye Qingcang's words contained a great deal of information, and the principles involved, or so-called philosophy, were indeed very complex. In the Douluo Continent, a Domain almost devoid of philosophy, it was almost inevitable that Ice Empress, Ferocious Beast who had not been influenced by Human Race culture, would be confused.

The Snow Empress is similar.

But her ethnicity was unique.

She is a creature beloved by heaven and earth, Heavenly Snow Woman.

Naturally nurtured by nature.

There is no race.

At the same time, it is protected by the world.

Therefore, she has both high IQ and EQ.

After pondering for a long time, she finally picked up where Ye Qingcang, asking in return, "If that's the case, why do you, who can see through everything, do so many things? You can't deny scheming against the Gods, can you?"

"Of course, it's because of my pride."

"My pride will not allow me to bow down to these people."

"Who do they think they are?"

"A group of powerful individuals who falsely claim to be gods."

"A self-righteous ancient time traveler."

"You think you're worthy of my bowing down?"

"You think you're worthy of my permission?"

"Does he even deserve to let me have three years of good fortune followed by three years of bad?"

Ye Qingcang chuckled.

If there's a grudge, then take revenge.

Kick away anything that's blocking your way.

Where do so many stories of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens come from?
