"In the past, I always thought that I was the so-called 'reborn' - the nightmare of doomsday destruction, which was too realistic, so realistic that it was suffocating, and I couldn't think about the true meaning of 'rebirth' at all."
Meng Chao said, "But the more I do everything I can to change the future, the more I doubt the concept of 'rebirth'.
"First, unlike transmigration, rebirth is not just about me alone.
"When I was reborn back to my boyhood, the whole world was reset. Those undead who had long gone with the wind all died and came back to life, and those buildings that had long since turned to ashes were re-standing in an exact manner. On the earth, not even a single screw has changed.
"All the random events that have happened in the past, from a strategic decision and a natural or man-made disaster, to a certain smile on a certain day, a certain month, a certain butterfly, and even the frequency of a certain butterfly fanning its Wings - all of this, will be repeated with unparalleled precision.
"I'm not saying that some kind of existence far above us, such as 'otherworld gods and demons', absolutely cannot do such a thing.
"It's just that, to reset the entire world and keep only the memories of a very few of them, it will inevitably consume an unimaginable amount of energy that is larger than astronomical figures.
"I don't see the point of spending so much energy doing something like this.
"Second, the so-called rebirth and time travel are the same thing. No matter whether it is technically feasible or not, it is difficult to avoid the emergence of the 'grandchild paradox' - do you know the 'grandchild paradox'?"
"I seem to have heard of it."
The wolf king said, "In my mottled and fragmented dreams, I have read a lot of books from the earth-although people on earth are generally weak, but your books are really interesting and have an irresistible magic. "
"That's good."
Meng Chao said, "Then you should understand that in time travel, it is impossible to kill your grandfather who had not married and had children decades ago.
"Once the grandfather dies before getting married and having children, there will be no father, so who should give birth to this unworthy descendant who plans to kill his grandfather through time travel?
"In the same way, I noticed that what we call 'rebirth' happens at the moment when 10,000 suns fall from the sky - perhaps, it is the explosion of 10,000 suns as if 10,000 suns exploded. The energy that makes our soul travel through time and space and return to our boyhood?
"But after the rebirth, we are doing our best to prevent the doomsday from coming, trying to stifle the destruction in our infancy.
"The question is, if there is no huge energy provided by these 'ten thousand suns', how can our souls travel through time and space and go back to the past?
"It's a paradox, an endless loop, isn't it?"
The wolf king thought for a long time.
I have to admit that Meng Chao is right.
"Yes, we should all be sent back to the past by the flames of doomsday."
The wolf king said, "If the doomsday is stopped by us, we will not have the source of power to appear here at all.
"What the **** is going on, I'm completely confused."
"There's even more confusion."
Meng Chaodao, "If the 'reborn theory' is true, then we come from two very different futures.
"The question is, how can two rebirths from different futures be reborn on the same timeline?
"In other words, when there are mottled and fragmented nightmares floating in the depths of our brains, and there are a lot of 'past life memory fragments' hidden in them, whoever sees the future is real, who sees it Is the future fake again?"
"I have no idea."
The wolf king sighed and said, "I originally believed in my memory of my past life, I believe that if I don't take action, the future will definitely become the nightmare that roars in my mind all the time.
"However, after careful analysis of the 'another future' you showed me, I have to admit that this future is equally reasonable, and there are no major flaws in it.
"So, it's your turn to reveal your trump card. In addition to the 'Rebirth Theory', what other theories can help us better understand the world and our own existence."
"Originally, I didn't have a more reliable explanation, until just now, I had a spiritual exchange with the sleeping Holy Maiden of Ancient Dreams through the crystal barrier, and suddenly there was a feeling of light and light. "
Meng Chao said, "I remember that in the process of creating the Great Horned Legion, Saintess of Ancient Dreams had unearthed several lost temples and earned the first pot of gold for the righteous deeds of the rat people.
"I found another place at the junction of the Bloodhoof Clan and the Golden Clan, in a valley that neither of them are too lazy to manage. It is buried deep in the ground and has a lot of spiritual energy. It serves as the secret base of the Big Horn Legion.
"Even when the Great Horned Legion and the wolf clan battled in blood, the ancient dream saintess had a godly prediction of the wolf clan's tactics, the location of the command center, and the hoarding of a large number of grains and grasses, so that they could start the war. At the beginning, the wolf clan battle group was killed and the armor was discarded, and it was extremely embarrassing.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have disclosed all this information to her, and it's through the 'dream transmission' method, right?"
"That's right."
The wolf king nodded, "When the Holy Maiden of Ancient Dreams is in a deep sleep state, her brain is at its most active and is most suitable for transmitting various information.
"Besides, I myself have mastered so much information from the future through an extremely long and vivid nightmare.
"Using the same method to turn this distinctive rat girl into an ancient dream saint who can predict the prophet is of course the best.
"From the point of view of the Holy Maiden of Ancient Dreams, all this is an 'oracle' passed on to her by the Rat God of the Horned Rat through her dreams. Of course, she obeys her words and believes it."
"indeed so."
Meng Chaodao, "Then, let's think about such a question - if the element 'Big Horned Rat God' is removed from the dream of the Holy Maiden of Ancient Dreams, and only the part of 'foreseeing the future, unpredictable prophets' is retained, and every time she is asked to How do you think she will understand the whole thing?
"Does she feel that she is also a rebirth, from a terrifying future where the 'Big Horn Legion was wiped out' to a point in time when everything has not happened yet, and she will stop the tragedy from happening at all costs?"
The wolf king slowly widened his bloodshot eyes.
Staring at Meng Chao, he was silent for a long time.
"You mean—"
The rat's tooth, which was sharper than the wolf's tooth, pierced through his lips, and the blood was meandering, covering his rapidly rising and falling chest, but he didn't seem to notice it, he just followed Meng Chao's logic and pondered, "There is a certain A being that is more powerful than us, sent a message about the future to the depths of our brains, making us mistakenly think that we have spent an incomparably long life in a nightmare that is both illusory and real.
"When we wake up from the nightmare, we will naturally think that we are reborn from the future, shouldering some kind of sacred and crucial mission?"
"That's right."
Meng Chao nodded.
"That is to say, this 'existence stronger than us' has the ability to foresee the future?"
The wolf king murmured, "Is this possible?"
"Of course it is possible, even if it is not a special talent like you and me who dreamed of the destruction of the end, any ordinary person can foresee the future."
Meng Chaodao, "To give the simplest example - I can choose a random Longcheng citizen or Turan orc, and I can accurately predict that there is a high probability that he will die within the next hundred years, and he will definitely not live for a while. Thousands of years later.
"I can still predict with precision that tomorrow the sun will still rise in the east and set in the west.
"One more thing, I predict that looking at the way Turan civilization is now, the strong prey on the weak and the winner is the king, it only pays attention to brainless fighting, but does not pay attention to the inheritance of knowledge and technology, even if it occasionally achieves a tactical victory, it cannot stop the strategy. The constant degeneration, failure and collapse of the planes, and ultimately the abyss of destruction.
"It's not enough? Then I continue to predict - the descendants of the rat people will still be the rat people, and the descendants of the warriors will still be the samurai. If the ecological structure of Turanze is not changed, the mandala tree will still be allowed to multiply. , crowding out the living space of other crops, so that the Turan civilization will always be trapped in the vicious circle of the 'Era of Prosperity' and the 'Era of Glory', and the Turan civilization will never have a way out.
"Even if there is no raging flames falling from the sky, the end will definitely appear in another way in the near future.
"Similarly, if the Dragon City Civilization cannot deeply understand the world and seriously consider the question of how to survive in a mysterious world with extraordinary power, it will stick to the inherent cognition of the earth age and think that it will rely on the so-called If the torrent of steel can sweep away thousands of troops and conquer the world.
"Even if there are a few more god-level powerhouses in Longcheng, or rely on the ancient ruins to create more advanced weapons and equipment, even with our efforts, we are lucky enough to escape the imminent doomsday. In the near future, the doomsday is still there. Will continue to appear, destruction or self-destruction, are high probability events.
"Look, I can say so many predictions casually, and the correct rate is at least 50%. What's so great about this?"
The wolf king hesitated.
"I know, you want to say that these 'prophecies' I made are too rough and general, not as vivid and full of details as the future we see in our nightmares, right?"
Meng Chao smiled slightly, "This is because the information I have is not rich enough, far from enough.
"Let me randomly choose an unmasked citizen of Longcheng, I can only roughly guess that he will surely die in the next three to five hundred years.
"But if I can see what he looks like, and have an in-depth understanding of his living habits, daily diet recipes, occupational risk factors, family genetic medical history, and his most detailed medical report and hospitalization record in the last ten years, it would be best It also allows me to use my psionic energy to comprehensively scan his internal organs, limbs, and eight extraordinary meridians. In short, let me master all the data about his physical condition.
"I must be able to draw more precise conclusions.
"Although on a certain individual, my 'prophecy' is likely to be wrong.
"But if it is to predict the average life expectancy of one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand ordinary citizens, and let me have all the data about their physical conditions, I believe that the accuracy of the 'prediction' will be as high as one Terrible extent.
"People's lifespan can be predicted, can the future of a city or even a civilization be predictable?
"Of course you can.
"This doesn't require the power of 'supernatural, unpredictable prophets', it only needs to have enough initial data and strong enough calculation and deduction ability.
"Many super-enterprises and major institutions in Longcheng have a 'strategic planning department', which is responsible for collecting data and speculating on the future.
"The success rate for this kind of 'strategic planning' is high in the areas they are most familiar with and excel in.
"A certain valley has been explored to contain spar veins with amazing reserves. It is predicted that in the near future, around this spar vein, a satellite industrial town will be built with mining, smelting, and manufacturing as the core, and even through the approximate reserves And quality, predict the population size of this satellite industrial town, what's so strange about it?
"Similarly, I believe that you and your confidants have also deduced and tried to control the future countless times - your miraculous rise, the use of the Big Horn Legion to raise the bandits and self-respect, stir up the fire of the ligers and tigers and come to the fisherman to benefit, and then Use the inheritance of the holy mountain to deter the five clans and take charge of the hegemony of Turanze.
"I believe that the success of this series of ten-year-old layouts is not entirely based on the guidance of the fragmented and mottled nightmare. More, it is your own, based on current information, repeated deductions, and careful calculations. The result of clever guidance?"
