During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.
This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...
Chapter 665 The Price of Infinite Reincarnation
"Low-probability event..."
Hearing this, Aiwass' heart tightened.
He said nonchalantly, "There can't be any law of aggregation or something like that..."
In fact, Aiwass has indeed felt strange about this matter for a long time.
Whether it was Lily's uniqueness, or people like Julia, Sherlock, and Isabel... they all proved their own uniqueness. Of the people Aiwass had come into close contact with, few had ordinary pasts—even a true pureblood like Haena, a commoner, had a fragment of Lancelot within her.
Not to mention, every promotion ceremony Aiwass experienced played a role in some way later on. Either the power he gained from the promotion ceremony became an indispensable key, or he obtained crucial intelligence from the promotion ceremony.
If it happened once or twice, he would still feel that he was really lucky.
But this happened almost every time, which made him feel powerless.
Just like The Truman Show - Aiwass felt that his fate was being pulled and manipulated by some invisible force.
He was like the protagonist in someone's novel. Because novels don't have idle moments, every moment has to be valuable in order to maximize the plot's effectiveness. Therefore, everything Aiwass experienced held special meaning...
Just thinking about it like this would make him feel exhausted, because Aiwass couldn't be sure whether any small thing happening around him was some kind of "plot hint" - but once he thought about it like this, he could hardly move forward.
Therefore, Aiwass could only deliberately ignore this "coincidence".
...Now it seems that all this came from the planning of the Lord of Scales and Feathers?
Or is this actually some kind of unspeakable conspiracy?
"To explain this to you, I have to explain one thing to you..."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers sighed, and a black top hat suddenly appeared in his right hand.
He put the top hat on his head, and the scene around him changed again.
The surroundings were a sea of black and red, and beneath Aiwass lay a vast, ship-like mass of scales. In the distance, the sky was covered in a strange, purple-red spiderweb pattern.
Within each crack, there was a sky of a completely different color, and images of worlds from different timelines were reflected within it.
At first, Aiwass was a little puzzled...why the essential path ability representing "prophet" was actually purple-red, close to the transcendent path. At that time, Aiwass thought it was the color of the source river.
And now, Aiwass can finally be sure that his initial intuition was correct.
This ability to predict color anomalies is truly an ability that transcends the Tao!
"Boss...what do you want to say?"
Aiwass licked his dry lips and spoke.
The Lord of Scales and Feathers simply looked up at the sky and said softly, "I remember telling you last time. History has multiple paths, and I can observe the future in all its possibilities..."
"But have you ever thought about why the world is like this?"
"...because the 'Cicada Molting Incident' caused history to fall apart?"
"Then why did the cicada molting incident cause history to fall apart?"
The Lord of Scales and Feathers asked back.
Aiwas's heartbeat suddenly started beating abnormally.
He realized that a huge secret was at his fingertips.
He has already approached the essence of the world. He only needs to take one more step forward.
"...As expected, you are worthy of me."
At this moment, the Lord of Scales and Feathers sighed, took off his top hat, and casually put it on Aiwass - he just put the top hat on Aiwass's face.
——Are you polite?
Aiwass was stunned for a moment and asked in his heart.
"in the past……"
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said, "When the Ennead Gods vote unanimously in favor, the world can be reset. Because of this, the future at that time is 'plastic'."
When Aiwass struggled to remove the top hat and the hand of the Lord of Scales and Feathers that was pressing on the top hat, he suddenly saw something from the top hat.
That was a young man who looked somewhat similar to Aiwass.
He had a delicate, almost elegant face, long black hair, amber eyes, and a gentle smile. There was also a glowing halo on his head—the halo looked like four gorgeous spearheads pointing in all directions.
The halo itself is a pure white that is almost transparent, while the four spear tips are red, blue, yellow, and green respectively.
He has a pair of pure white wings behind him, and below his slender waist is a pure white, agile snake body.
He was holding a golden apple in his right hand, which was spinning slightly.
Then, the entire world around him began to rewind rapidly—winter, autumn, summer, and spring passed incessantly, but only the boy holding the golden apple was illuminated by the light of the four seasons. His body was colorful and changing, but he himself remained unchanged.
Just when Aiwas wanted to take a closer look, the top hat was taken away by the Lord of Scales and Feathers - but he did not wear it on his head, but threw it into the source river.
"Boss, you..."
"——Aivaz."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers asked sternly, "Let me ask you, what you saw in the hat? After I destroyed it, did it still exist?"
“…It exists.”
Aiwass hesitated for a moment: "I still remember it."
“Yes, the world also remembers the history of abandonment.”
The Lord of Scales and Feathers spoke: "That is the essence of 'fate' - a trace of another possibility.
"The world has rewound time and again, until at some point, history was shattered. However, this rewinding has already carved every possible future into the world.
"If you put a few stones of varying sizes on a piece of cloth...what will happen to them?"
“…They’ll probably gather together.”
"No, that's not necessarily true."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers denied it, saying, "It has to do with their position and weight. If they are too small and too light, nothing will happen. But if some heavy stones gather nearby, they will all slide towards the same place."
"What has happened before will happen again—if certain 'stones' come together, then what happened before can easily happen again. In other words, when the 'leading actors' are gathered, the 'plot' will begin.
"In different rewinds, the world revolves around different people. So when the world resets, the weight of each 'stone' is different...
"—and you are different, Aiwass.
"'The Master of Samsara' has appeared among all possibilities, so you are the heaviest stone. Just as you said—you are the 'protagonist.' When you meet any 'character,' their 'story' will happen ahead of time. Of course, this doesn't mean anything special to you... because the only difference between you and the 'protagonist' is that you will still die."
"...But I'm neither the Heavenly Master of Samsara nor the Heavenly Master of Rings?"
Aiwas' heart tightened and he asked subconsciously.
He instinctively denied that he was the one who caused such trouble.
But he saw the Lord of Scales and Feathers looking at him with a smile.
At that moment, Aiwass opened his eyes slightly.
He suddenly understood—
Just like his own reaction, Huan Tiansi thought the same.
"—This is one of the reasons why Huan Tiansi cut himself off. In the words of the Primordial Man... too many causes and effects are entangled in him, which means that any plan of his is bound to encounter unexpected problems.
"You are his substitute for the 'price of endless reincarnation', Aiwass.
"When you come into contact with anyone, things become chaotic. Because you resonate with everyone who has played an important role in some history...
“I can tell you this – your life is not part of anyone’s conspiracy or design. Because your existence is someone’s design.
"--So, let's make a deal, how about it?
"Not as your boss... but as someone as equal as possible, proposing a mutually beneficial cooperation with you, the 'variable'."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said lightly, "You go and kill the Fallen Angels, is that okay?"
Aiwass understood.
——The boss issued a new declaration for making nests.
