How to turn the tables?

Hearing these words, everyone's faces were blank.

"The Queen Mother is right. There is no such thing as an inevitable outcome in this world. The riot in Chang'an, Galan swallowing the elixir, the bloodbath in Yaochi... all of this is a cycle.

It was because I let Galan eat the immortality elixir that Galan appeared in later generations. It was because I met Galan in later generations that I let Galan eat the immortality elixir after returning here... This was the case with the Chang'an Rebellion, and it is also the case with Yao Chi!

All of this is a causal paradox, a circle that connects the beginning and the end, and the one who created these causal paradoxes is me at a certain time in the future!

Because only by connecting cause and effect into a circle can it be completely hidden and escape the observation of the [Key to the Door]!

Galan's swallowing of the elixir was not destined, nor was the establishment of the Evil Suppression Bureau... The reason why they seemed unchangeable was because at a certain point in time, I used the power of cause and effect to forcibly twist these events into a circle, which began and ended with me, just as I hid my own cause and effect, hiding this period of history.

As long as they become a paradoxical circle, no matter how the [Gate Key] changes history, it will not affect these events. This is the [predestined fruit] I have sown! "

After thinking it all through, the complicated cause and effect that spanned two thousand years of time suddenly became clear in Lin Qiye's eyes!

In this chaotic cause and effect, there is an invisible big hand that is controlling everything... and this big hand is Lin Qiye himself, who holds the [unprovoked cause] and [predetermined result] at a certain point in the future!

And what he was targeting in doing all this was the "Eye" hanging high above the long river of time, one of the three pillars of Cthulhu, the [Key to the Door].

In the future, he is using "cause and effect" to fight against "omniscience and omniscience"!

"Why don't I understand?" Yan Zhong looked at Huo Qubing blankly, "My Lord, do you understand?"

Huo Qubing shook his head, "No..."

"Humanity has zero chance of winning the war against Cthulhu. This is the conclusion drawn by the [Key to the Gate] after observing all of human history. However, this conclusion is limited to the history that He has observed... not the real history." Lin Qiye turned his head and looked at Chloe beside him.

"If we want to defeat the All-Seeing, we must hide as much history that is beneficial to us as possible. I am the only one who can do this... So, Chloe from the future used the First Testament to send me back to this era, allowing me to start this chess game that spans two thousand years of human history.

From the moment I returned to this era and awakened to [Unprovoked Cause] and [Predetermined Result], the chances of human victory are no longer zero..."

Lin Qiye took out a white piece from the chess basket beside him and replaced it with a black piece in the corner of the chessboard.

At this moment, among the black pieces on the board, a white piece finally appeared, a glimmer of hope... Although it is insignificant compared to the entire chess game, it contains infinite possibilities.

"The first step to this turnaround is your [First Covenant], 'Reverse the cause and effect, and be reborn from the dead'!"

Chloe looked at Lin Qiye blankly. Although she didn't understand what Lin Qiye meant, it seemed that... she had done something very awesome and changed the fate of mankind? .bΙQμＧètν.

"So, you came back to this era just to play chess with others?" Yan Zhong understood a little bit and walked to Lin Qiye's side. "Who is on the other side of the chessboard?"

Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the nothingness opposite the stone platform. In a trance, he saw a door, a sheep, and a grinning black man.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Three Pillar Gods."

Yan Zhong looked at the dark chessboard with only one white piece and couldn't help but speak:

"Looking at it this way, the chances of winning are still very slim... You've already made the first move, what should we do next?"

"If I want to turn the tables, one chess piece is not enough. I need more chess pieces."

Lin Qiye reached into the chess basket, grabbed it with force, and a handful of white pieces fell into his palm.

Threads of cause and effect extended from his body and connected with these white pieces. [Unprovoked cause] and [predetermined result] floated behind Lin Qiye, forming one causal circle after another among these chess pieces.

“These chess pieces need to meet three conditions:

First, two thousand years in the future, they exist.

Second, they have the potential to engage the Cthulhu Mythos head-on.

Third, there must be a cause and effect relationship between them and my past self.

Only in this way can I hide their causal threads in the future and make them completely disappear from the observation of the [Key to the Gate]... In this way, they will be like me, transcending the control of the myth of the system, and at a certain crucial time, they will make their own key move. "

"Hide their causal threads through the air? Can you do it?"

"As long as it is causally related to me and through some medium, I can do it."

"What medium?"

"The medium, isn't it right here?"

Lin Qiye spread out his palms, and a handful of white chess pieces fell onto the table.

"Cause and effect are the thread, and white chess pieces are the message... It sounds interesting." Yan Zhong sighed helplessly, "Unfortunately, I won't be able to see the scene two thousand years later."

"Why can't I see it?" Lin Qiye's lips curled up with a smile. He pointed at Hu Jia beside him, "Have you forgotten that we have [Heart Travel]?"

"You mean... spiritual immortality?!"

“People in this temple must not only see it, but also participate in it… The future of mankind will only be handed over to future generations. Are you assured?” Lin Qiye took out a few chess pieces from the table and spread them out in his palm.

His eyes swept across the dilapidated temple where the wind and snow were howling.

Huo Qubing, Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong, Gongyang Wan, Wuquan, Chloe, Hu Jia, Jia Lan... They are the top people of this era and should not be lost in the long river of time.

They are the original team in Lin Qiye's mind to fight against the Cthulhu mythology.

Hearing these words, everyone's eyes showed signs of movement. The unwillingness and fighting spirit engraved in their bones surged out one after another. When they thought that they might be involved in this chess game that concerns the fate of mankind and spans two thousand years of history, their hearts were filled with heat.

Huo Qubing stood up first, his black and gold robes blown up by the wind coming through the crack in the door. He walked calmly to Lin Qiye and took a white piece from his hand.

"No matter who is our predecessor or successor, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. For the common people of this world, I am willing to fight."
