Defeat the whole world with Power of One Dragon! Chapter 781
After realizing your own future, can you change the future by making choices that are opposite to what you want, or can you face it better by staying the same and adapting to all changes?
This question is like a matryoshka doll when you think about it.
Layer upon layer, no matter how hard you think about it, there is no concrete result.
Garos shook his head slightly to suppress the chaotic thoughts.
He didn't hesitate for long.
To put it bluntly, the answer to this question lies entirely with you.
future?
Garos believes that the future is created by oneself.
The prediction of Gold Dragon can be used as a reminder.
He can be alerted by it, but he must not be restrained or affected by it.
Garos gathered his thoughts and changed the topic. "Odhos, in the years since you disappeared, you went to other timelines as I thought, right?"
After hearing his question, Gold Dragon continued to rub his eyes for a while, his expression slowly became calm, and a complex light appeared in his expression.
"I haven't told you, but you should have asked why I am obsessed with time."
Red Iron Dragon Tap your chin lightly.
When Odhos was still Radiant Dragon King, he was obsessed with the study of time, and it was difficult for him not to be curious about it.
From Nereus, he learned the reason behind it.
It is said that he had a long dream, and a long time passed in that dream. At first, he regarded the dream as reality and the reality after waking up as illusion.
But then, Gold Dragon thought it was a different time.
"Back then, other dragons thought I was crazy and said that my time studying the ethereal was a waste of life. But I believe, I completely believe, that it was not a dream, that it was a reality that happened in another timeline, and that is the world I should really be in."
"In order to achieve this goal, I have paid too much and given up too much. I have tried again and again and failed again and again."
"But in the end, thanks to you, I got my wish."
"I have returned to my world."
Having said this, a smile bloomed on Gold Dragon's face, like sunshine shining on gold coins, bright and contagious.
As a bystander, Garos can clearly feel his happiness from this smile.
But this smile only lasted for a short second.
His smile faded, he sighed softly, his eyes were dazed, and his voice lowered.
"I should feel satisfied, happy, happy, and in fact, I do feel these."
"But----cruel reality followed."
"The time I am familiar with has long passed. I came too late, too late. My partner, my best friend - the lives I once knew have almost all passed away. The world I have longed for has become so strange when I actually arrived in reality."
Gold Dragon's expression gradually stabilized.
Finally, he smiled freely and said, "Later, I figured it out."
"Why be obsessed with a certain time or a certain world? Life is a journey, and the scenery along the way is more important than the destination. I used to pursue the destination too much, but now I have calmed down and paid more attention to the scenery along the way."
"I went to different timelines and worlds one after another. As a passer-by, I appreciated everything worth appreciating, staying for an unprecedented heavy snowfall, or mourning for the destruction of an empire——"
Having said that.
Deep in Gold Dragon's eyes, there is still a lingering shadow.
His original intention of exploring the mystery of time was to return to the world he was familiar with.
However, things backfired.
When he discovered that the so-called familiarity had turned into strangeness, all the subsequent time journeys were just to make up for the confusion and hole in his soul.
Garos is so sharp?
Through Gold Dragon's words and eyes, he could probably feel Odhos's complicated mood at this moment.
Confused, empty.
At a loss.
It can be said that Immortal Realm Gold Dragon, who is in charge of Time Divine Power, is able to see the future and past of others, but he is immersed in his own past and cannot see his future clearly.
If one day, Gold Dragon suddenly has a flash of inspiration, or someone reminds him and makes him realize that he can change everything in some way, and after he has a clear goal, he may do whatever it takes to accomplish it at all costs.
At the same time, Garos suddenly realized where those Disorderly Ones came from.
It doesn't even take too long to kill your will.
As long as you lose your life goals, paranoid and extreme ideas can easily breed in confusion and emptiness.
"Do I have similar thoughts?"
Garos looked at himself, then shook his head slightly.
He feels that his goal has always been firm, clear, and far away. Before completing his dragon life goal, he will not feel any confusion, and it is nonsense to talk about being out of order.
At this time, Gold Dragon's previous expression gradually dissipated and his demeanor returned to normal.
He said to Red Iron Dragon, "Garos, with Ring of Time here, you should have been to other timelines. How do you feel? Have you met anyone?
Interesting scenery, can you share it with me?"
"I'm very curious, with your personality, how much disturbance you will make in other timelines."
He looked at Red Iron Dragon with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Garos shook his head slowly.
"I don't feel anything because I've never been to other timelines."
Gold Dragon opened his eyes and was a little confused. "? Your Ring of Time energy has already been full, didn't it involve you? I admit that you are very powerful, but facing the huge wave of time, you are also difficult to resist——"
The sound stopped suddenly.
Gold Dragon suddenly noticed that the surface of the Ring of Time he left behind had some daffodil textures that he did not recognize, which were delicate, beautiful, and very aesthetic.
Garos shook his wrist.
"Midsummer Queen Titania, modified Ring of Time for me, making it more controllable. I can choose whether to turn it on or not."
Gold Dragon was speechless.
This Ring of Time was created by him, but its birth is closely related to River of Time. In principle, it is difficult to change the control.
However, the High God is the Principle----
This guy can actually let a high-level god personally take action for him, which is getting more and more amazing.
Gold Dragon took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "The door to other timelines is right in front of you, but you can bear not to go? I admire you."
"But since it's controllable, you should give it a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. There are some special scenery and experiences that can only be experienced in other timelines."
The original intention of Gold Dragon's time journey is to heal his own soul.
But he gradually became immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.
Garos shook his head slightly, but was not moved by Gold Dragon.
He said rationally, "Time travel is too unfamiliar to me and the risk is too high. What if I can't come back after going? Besides, I have enough things here and I don't have time to do anything else."
The risks outweigh the benefits.
Garos generally does not do such things.
He admitted that he was somewhat curious about other timelines, but curiosity could not affect his decision-making.
On the opposite side, Gold Dragon's expression was a bit strange.
He stared at Red Iron Dragon and smacked his lips. "You really know nothing about time travel. As long as you have the right method, it is far less dangerous and less time-consuming than you think."
Garos was slightly startled, and then said seriously, "Then please help me answer my questions, what is going on in time travel?"
Gold Dragon held his chin and said thoughtfully, "I understand your worries."
"You don't want to spend too much time, and you don't want to go out and take the risk. Simple, it's not a problem."
"Do you still remember my dream?"
"That was my first time journey by chance. My consciousness passed through River of Time and came to another timeline, another me, where I spent thousands of years."
"But when I woke up and my consciousness returned, it only passed——"
Gold Dragon paused slightly and said solemnly, "----A short summer night."
After spending thousands of years in a world with another timeline, when I look back, my own timeline is just one night in the past.
Is this reasonable?
When Garos heard what Gold Dragon said, he instinctively felt that there were many unreasonable things in it.
For example, since they are all real worlds but located on different timelines, how can the difference in time flow speed be so huge?
After one's own consciousness passes through, what state is the consciousness of the original timeline in?
Is it a deep sleep or is it blank----
All in all, there are many problems.
But since Odhos said so, I guess it can really be done.
Garos thought for a while and said, "You mean, I can unilaterally project my consciousness onto my Counterpart in another timeline, thus avoiding the risk of my real body going to other timelines?"
"That's right."
Gold Dragon nodded, his golden scales shining brightly in the sun, with an expression that seemed like you had finally enlightened yourself.
"Risk and return are always relative."
"I know that with your personality, you want to travel through time. You probably won't just stroll around and see the scenery like me. You will want to get some practical benefits through time travel."
He paused and said, "If it's just consciousness traveling, then you may only get some insights and a special experience that no one else knows about. You can't bring back the real thing. It's a bit like having a long, completely real dream. After you wake up from the dream, there is nothing but memory."
Suddenly, a breeze blew in the valley, picking up a few maple leaves and falling on Red Iron Dragon's scales.
Red Iron Dragon is thinking about this passage.
Now Odhos feels a little flat, so he may not realize that if the facts are as he said, being able to spend a long period of time in other timelines without changing the original timeline, even if it is just consciousness traveling and unable to bring other things back, is a very beneficial thing.
After all, in the synthesis of a life, qualities such as thought, spirit, will, etc. also occupy a vital position.
What's more, if you can experience certain battles and crises in other timelines in advance, you can predict the future and take advantage of similar situations in this timeline.
Red Iron Dragon ignored the fallen leaves falling on him and said to Gold Dragon, "I have a few questions about what you said."
Gold Dragon seemed to be waiting for him to ask this question, and puffed up his chest with a smile.
"I would only be surprised if you didn't have any questions."
"Ask, and I will give you the answer. It's a secret about time, but few people can understand it like me."
Arriving at a familiar area, Gold Dragon raised his head slightly and found his own style again.
Garos asked, "When my consciousness passes through River of Time and comes to Counterpart in another timeline, what about the consciousness of Counterpart? Will it disappear directly? Or will it be temporarily suppressed?"
"Moreover, is it possible for two consciousnesses to coexist in one body? If so, who does the body listen to?"
Gold Dragon said, "I have tried it more than once, and I can tell you 100% and without any detours----"
Garos Listen carefully.
Odhos said, "----I can't say, it depends on the specific situation."
He deliberately gave it a try and showed an incomprehensible smile, waiting for Garos to ask.
Red Iron Dragon stared at him, took a deep breath, resisted the urge to go up and give him a paw, showed a kind and eager expression, and asked, "Odhos, what is the specific situation? Tell me, I am all ears."
"Speak slowly, I'm not in a hurry."
Gold Dragon nodded with satisfaction, then his expression became serious, he cleared his throat and said, "First of all, when your consciousness travels to Counterpart, if you are evenly matched and the gap is not big, then what is most likely to happen in the first place is a battle between spiritual wills."
"Under the same conditions, Counterpart has a higher chance of winning because it is on the opponent's territory. After all, it is his body and his home court."
Nothing wrong.
Garos nodded slightly in agreement.
Just like the battle between gods, they are evenly matched, but if they have to go to the opposite Divine Kingdom to find fault, if nothing happens, they will definitely suffer the consequences.
Home field advantage applies everywhere.
He did not speak, but motioned Gold Dragon with his eyes to continue.
Gold Dragon shook his head and continued, "Secondly, if the difference is huge."
"Take you now as an example. If the Counterpart target you traveled through is not Legendary Realm, then he won't even realize what happened. His body will be occupied by you and his consciousness will enter a deep sleep state without knowing anything."
"When your consciousness is pulled away, Counterpart's consciousness will wake up, and then you will be shocked to find that your life has been turned upside down."
"Of course, if you are willing, you can also stay in Counterpart's consciousness and not put him to sleep directly, but just influence him secretly, or simply pretend to be an identity, communicate with him, watch him change under your influence, and develop yourself."
Hearing this, Garos was thoughtful.
If you follow the latter approach, to a certain extent, wouldn't you be able to be another's golden finger?
He thought for a while and said, "Then I directly point out that I am him from another timeline and be honest with him. What will be the result?"
Garos feels that he is very good at communication.
If a win-win situation can be achieved, he is always happy...
Upon hearing Garos's question, Gold Dragon's expression became solemn and solemn as never before.
He said, "No, absolutely not!"
"River of Time is mysterious and extremely dangerous. Moreover, powerful beings are strictly prohibited from traveling between different tributaries."
"What we are going to do is essentially not allowed, so we need to be more careful and cautious. If you expose yourself, it will bring extremely serious consequences!"
"As for the specific consequences, I don't know yet, but it will definitely happen."
Gold Dragon's serious expression is reflected in his eyes.
Garos then thought of what Titania said before about River of Time.
Titania means that lives such as Greater Deity and Eternal Realm actually know the existence of other timelines and can feel their own Counterpart. And if they are willing to put in the effort, they can go to other timelines even if they do not have Divine Power or Divine Authority in terms of time.
It's just that it's okay to return it, but the consequences are unbearable.
On the contrary, if those beings who are far weaker than Greater Deity and Eternal Realm can travel through the timeline, there will be no consequences, so you can boldly try.
At first glance, it sounds a bit strange.
But thinking about it carefully, Garos thinks this is quite reasonable.
If there is some kind of supervisor or guard role in River of Time, or even just some kind of resistance instinct.
Then, existences like the High God and Eternal One, with their size, are like mad sharks surging in the water. The impact they can cause and the waves they create cannot be compared to other life forms.
This kind of thing must be given special attention.
As for other small fish and shrimps, their impact is very limited, so they don't matter in comparison, but they must not be too reckless, otherwise something will happen.
At this time, Garos suddenly thought of a more critical question.
He asked, "According to what you said, if in other timelines, there is someone who masters Time Divine Power or Divine Authority, and Life Level,
Counterpart, whose personality is much higher than mine, treats me as a target and travels through consciousness——"
"He can take my body directly?"
Gold Dragon thought for a moment, felt slightly complacent, puffed up his chest and said, "Theoretically, this is the case."
"Our noble time system is so unreasonable, so you can envy it."
???
This world is too dangerous!
Not only do you have to worry about Disorderly Ones who may go crazy at any time, but you also have to compete with yourself in other timelines?
Red Iron Dragon had ups and downs of emotions, cursing in his heart, and was speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, he was used to this dangerous world and quickly calmed down.
After thinking rationally for a while, he said, "What you said is theoretically possible, but it doesn't mean it can actually be realized."
"At least, under Prime Material Plane and Iron Laws of Rules here, no one can exert excessive power. Even if I have a high-level god of time, Counterpart, who targets me, Material Plane cannot suppress my will."
After calming down, Garos felt that there was nothing terrible about it.
If someone could really break through Material Plane Iron Laws of Rules across the timeline at the same time, and directly control him----
What else can you say?
I gave it, I gave it to you, I think you are awesome, I just gave it to you.
Gold Dragon said in a deep voice, "It makes sense, Immortal Life basically doesn't need to worry about this problem."
Immediately, he looked at Red Iron Dragon with a smile and said, "Although I recommend that you go directly in person to completely experience the pleasure of traveling through time and space. The immersive feeling is completely incomparable to consciousness travel, but this kind of thing still depends on yourself. Your situation is more suitable for consciousness travel now."
He asked, "How is it? You don't have so many worries, are you a little impatient?"
"Think about it, you might put on a Gold Dragon Garos and experience the feeling of being born as a Metal Dragon, standing on the moral high ground, shouting and killing the evil; or you might put on a White Dragon Garos and try to go all the way back from the weakest to the strongest.
Attack----"
Gold Dragon is good at tempting people and is famous for gesturing with his paws. He describes different situations to Garos, and becomes more and more enthusiastic as he talks.
It is undeniable that Gold Dragon's words really aroused Garos's interest.
It's hard not to make him curious about those possibilities.
But Garos did not answer directly.
He looked at Gold Dragon, his eyes calm, with a hint of scrutiny.
"Odhos, tell me frankly."
"Why are you so interested in wanting me to travel through time? Will this do you any good?"
Odhos may not have any bad intentions, but he definitely has his own petty thoughts.
Gold Dragon blinked and said calmly, "I can't help it, time travel is addictive, and I can't go back."
"However, I will also tell you frankly that no matter how low the risk is, we will inevitably encounter some emergencies. Relying on myself alone can sometimes be very dangerous——"
At this point, Gold Dragon paused and said with emotion, "Last time, I almost capsized in the gutter. Fortunately, I was smart and pretended to be Time Dragon, which made the other party a little afraid, so I escaped in time - and almost couldn't come back."
He coughed twice and said no more about his embarrassment.
Gold Dragon said sternly, "Let's not talk about other things. More importantly, it would be a pity if you can only appreciate the experiences and scenery by yourself. Having a companion to share with you will make the journey more meaningful."
In short, he wanted a travel companion with whom he could share experiences and take risks.
Garos is very suitable.
This guy can fight more than me. With him, I can deal with danger with ease, unlike before where I was in such a hurry and sometimes even scurried away with my head in my arms.
Now Garos only has the idea of consciousness shuttle, but Gold Dragon believes that the threshold will continue to improve.
It won't be too long before he will probably be tempted to go to other timelines with his true form.
When the time comes, hehe----
With a strong companion by your side, your safety factor skyrockets.
At this time, Garos also understood what Gold Dragon meant.
Then here comes the problem.
Want to take a time journey?
Although it is just a shuttle of consciousness, once some doors are opened, they may not be able to be closed later.
There must be countless temptations behind this.
Garos thought for a moment and said to Gold Dragon, "Wait here first and don't wander around."
"I'll go and come back."
Gold Dragon was stunned. "? Where are you going?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Red Iron Dragon had torn apart the space, and his movements were like Flowing Water Dragon Realm. Before Gold Dragon could react, his huge body sank into the crack and disappeared.
