"..."
Logically, there’s nothing wrong... but isn’t there a crucial part you haven’t ntioned? Why do you want to help you chase him?
"Because he represents another possibility!"
As the old ox looked startled, Fredri 2, who was probing its thoughts, pursed her lips and said:
"Ah Huang, the part of you that made you an escapee originates from , so your thoughts are almost transparent to . But you actually know little about , I... never mind, see for yourself!"
As Fredri 2 spoke, the old ox felt its head swell slightly, the roots from the spiritual realm within it activated, and a massive amount of mories were forcibly infused into its mind.
Origin remnants... ultimate mission... artificial origin races... a No. 1 unlike anyone else... ritual piercing through ti... the only ’finished product’ that t the standard... an endlessly long companionship... destined to lose half of the choice... be No. 1 or be Fredri?
"..."
So... it wasn’t that Fu’s body was taken by soone else, but she was forced back to the distant past, living another endlessly long life?
"That’s about it..."
Looking at the completely stunned old ox, Fredri 2 sighed softly and then began to speak:
"I have no intention of justifying myself. After all, what’s done is done. The current is the common enemy of all beings across all tilines, and the reason I tell you this is in hopes that you can trust and take to find that man nad Leon.
Although he doesn’t belong to the world you ca from, he isn’t an escapee either. I haven’t found his ’origin’ on any tiline. He seems to have appeared out of nowhere and suddenly filled every possibly existing tiline. This is important!"
"Moo moo moo? (What can Leon possibly do? Why did you let him go earlier, and now suddenly want to find him?)"
"You take to find him first. If he leaves for too long, I’m afraid even you might not be able to find him. Let’s get going, and I’ll explain to you slowly on the way, okay?"
"..."
"Ah Huang! Trust ! I’ve never lied to you!"
You don’t directly lie, but that’s because there’s no need; you can mislead without lying... but never mind...
Looking at the sincere face of Fredri 2 in front of him, rembering his mories from his ti as a calf and the complex emotions in her eyes when she sent him to Ring Ti Mountain, the old ox finally nodded and lowered his head towards Fredri 2.
"Moo! (Get on!)"
Phew... it worked!
Seeing the old ox kneeling down in the chaotic flow of ti, letting her sit on it, Fredri 2 couldn’t help but let out a long breath, responded, and climbed onto the ox’s back.
Then, the old ox, like a big yellow dog of the wrong species, lowered its head and sniffed around, ultimately following the guidance of a small fragnt of Leon’s soul, finding the ti turbulence with a similar aura, and tread into it slowly.
And just like a long ti ago, Fredri 2 sat side-saddle on its back, assisting in widening the corridor while explaining as promised:
"Ah Huang, although my people cannot ’understand’ the existence of ti, they are not unaware of being torn apart by ti, with the entire race heading towards termination. So a lot of preparation was made accordingly.
The ultimate mission that I and thirteen others represented was not the only response. It was just considered the most feasible among them, and the most accepted idea at the ti was to reincarnate as another race if they couldn’t survive the ti calamity themselves.
Like humans cannot survive in the ocean, yet creatures ’lower’ than humans like fish can, everyone can transcend ti but are hard by it, whereas species far less powerful, like humans, are not spiritually annihilated by temporal divisions.
So, if they scattered the will of everyone in advance and reincarnated into fourteen selected and manufactured races that could survive the ti calamity, it would be equivalent to everyone surviving."
The old ox was curious upon hearing:
"Moo moo? (Doesn’t that sound good? Why didn’t they do it later?)"
"Because everyone thought that although they might survive, the final survivor would no longer be themselves."
After recalling with eyes closed for a mont, Fredri 2 sighed and said:
"Think about the origin remnants. Although they possess the forr power and are no longer hard by temporal divisions, they are also no longer themselves.
While everyone retains so habits, No. 2 still enjoys all kinds of interesting things, and No. 4 remains always serious. It feels like they are still them, but at the sa ti, they’ve beco two different people from their original selves.
Moreover, while there are many races that are not affected by ti or are less affected, not many can bear the massive will of one mber and complete reincarnation from the ’origin’, only saving a small portion of the people... never mind, let’s not talk about that."
After slightly shaking her head, feeling another world appearing before her, Fredri 2 sighed:
"The reason I brought this up is mainly to talk about the person who proposed this thod... She was the smartest among all people, single-handedly proposing over a dozen plans to survive the ti calamity.
Although the ultimate mission finally adopted was not her proposal, it was based on her reincarnation theory that the other 13 mbers transcending ti ca to be, and the technology to simultaneously send countless copies of back to the distant past also ca from her artificial origin race project.
Without her, there would not only be no ultimate mission, countless versions of wouldn’t have been simultaneously brought back to the distant past to beco one among them, and the current situation wouldn’t have arisen..."
Hearing this, the old ox was stunned, then said with so sense of "shared resentnt":
"Moo?! (So is she your enemy?!)"
"No, she’s my friend."
"???"
Seeing the puzzled gaze of the old ox, Fredri 2 shook her head slightly, looking a bit wistful as she said:
"She could even be said to be my best friend, the first to co and persuade to abandon the ultimate mission, not to do these things in the future. She even went and destroyed a lot of reincarnation rituals, trying to stop from going back to the future, but didn’t succeed in the end, caught by others.
By the ti more and more people slowly agreed with and started regretting letting execute the ultimate mission, it was too late to stop the rituals, and because of her destruction of the rituals and injuring many people, they locked her up, preventing her from finishing her final research."
"Moo moo? (Research? What research?)"
"Research to find soone who doesn’t belong to this world, and use that to completely break ’destiny’."
"Moo?"
"Simply put, ti itself, though fragile, is terrifyingly resilient, absolutely unalterable."
With a complex expression, Fredri 2 explained:
"When I was born as Fredri, I had already appeared as No. 1 in the distant past. No matter how I try to influence everything now, I will only beco part of this ti loop.
This ans that at the mont of my birth, the event of Fredri becoming No. 1 was destined to happen and already had, sothing undeniably unchangeable, which she referred to as destiny.
She was herself born from the origin of destiny, even nad Destiny, so she understood the rules of destiny extrely well and was the first to see everyone’s path towards extinction, striving to break it all.
According to her hypothesis, if you can find soone who doesn’t exist in any world, whose destiny hasn’t been intertwined with anyone else’s, and throw him into an already completed destiny, it equals applying external force to fixed destiny, potentially allowing for an ’alternate’ ending."
"Moo?!!! (That person you’re talking about?!!!)"
"Hmm..."
Confirming the old ox’s thought, Fredri 2 bit her lower lip, nervously saying:
"I suspect she actually succeeded in her research, and Leon is the ’external force’ she found!"
