Chapter 308 Omphalos
"You didn't catch a single Omphalos wildling.

To be precise, time is anchored to a thousand years later, and the bait you laid out, in some strange way, turns into a boomerang and is hit back.
“…”
There are many consequences for eating the oracle, but as far as you know, this is definitely not one of them.
—You were hooked.

To be honest, you really want to be serious. After all, you have reached the end of reincarnation, a "re-creation".
Maybe it's retribution. You ate the oracle. The oracle was like bait, and the traction for the savages of Omphalos was the fishing line. Now you appear a thousand years later, and are lifted up by the savior who is full of hatred and suffering, like a baboon lifting Simba, with a dull expression.
At this time, Lygus got up from the ground like a narrator, which was really strange, as he had just been lying on the ground cosplaying Louis XVI.
But it doesn't matter. After all, he doesn't even have a heart. His head can be picked up and wiped clean and still be used.
Slow applause echoed in the empty [Creation Vortex], as if answering Kaeslan's recent questions. He said, "Everyone will part with one person, but that person will meet—"
Lygus paused.
"Miracle……"
"What a wonderful coincidence!" He spread his hands. "Even though it hindered Omphalos's experimental progress, he used the power of memory to shuttle back and forth like a trapped beast, chasing the variables."
"But Fu Li was not moved by you. Instead... it was a miracle. He showed up for you."
You, [Miracle], calmly raised your hand and greeted him as if your name had been called. "Hi~ Looking for me?"
The scene was very quiet for a moment, and you folded your arms in this pose, "...Hey, you're being a bit rude. I'm in informal attire right now, how can I be forced to work?"
Although I don’t understand what’s going on, based on my stance, I should oppose everything that Brother Zhiji advocates, and agree with everything that he opposes.
Logic makes sense!

You unilaterally declared that Baimao has won a great victory!
There's no way. In the background of this story, you start out as a Pipisi, then become a cat cake, and finally become the earth beast of Omphalos.
No one mentioned that Omphalos and Pinocchio were on the run from the origami birds!
Yes, when you met Kaeslana, your hobby of raising aloof potted plants was aroused, and the nets that were originally prepared to catch the Zandar were put away and turned into scissors.
——Please, this is an origami bird, a species I’ve never raised before!
Kaeslana seemed to have just found his voice. His hands froze for a while, but he still didn't put you down.
Caution, anticipation, vigilance, cherishment... the emotions seem very complicated.
According to your professional training as a recaller, the total amount of emotions in the origami bird is quite objective. It can be described as a wine jar buried in the ancient brewing method. Too much material has accumulated and turned into a solid sediment "wine head".
This is not something you can eat directly. If you accidentally take a sip, it will burn your throat much more than alcohol.
He was filled with fear. Rather than an origami bird, he looked more like a kitten with its fur standing on end and its back arched. He could neither run away nor act rashly, and his little head moved very slowly.
You blinked, only to see his eyelashes tremble. His mind was like a revolving lantern, a jumble of random thoughts flashing through it, finally piling up, blocking it completely, and still nothing leaked out.
This seemed like the finale, but it also seemed like a short poem that Kaeslan had glimpsed too hastily... or a joke.
Can we all be saved by taking a step forward? Or will time only stretch forward from now on, never looking back?
You poked his hand; it was hard, tight, and hot. You began to wonder if this little bird could fry an egg in its hand.
"I almost got led astray by you guys, eh!" You cleared your throat. "You're the Omphalos Savage, right? As a bribe... ahem, reward for finding me!"
"I can help you, but on one condition."
Yes, conditions.
Here, you are anchored as a "miracle," but you haven't been a "miracle" for a long time, let alone taking up a job...
If you were not interested in the story of White Hair (crossed out), you would not be interested in deliberately putting on the skin of a "miracle" to perform for a stranger.
After all, the two things that can make you open up to the second level of standards are people you like and stories you like.
Kaeslana doesn't belong to any category, so when you look at him now, look into his eyes, they feel both familiar and strange.
Deep blue eyes are like a lake at night, tired and deep, easily leading you to unpleasant associations. You don't have to wait until the night deepens; if the reflection is completely dark, you'll probably feel uneasy.
If An Su stayed here for a very long time, you would have to admit that Kaeslan's crazy persistence, gray and broken appearance would inevitably remind you of his sister in prison.
So, he doesn't belong to those two categories.
"What...conditions?" He spoke awkwardly, his voice strangely sandy.
You swung your feet in the air and gave me a sly smile, "Lend me your memories, and then—"
"I will write the ending of the first story first."
"That's very willful and authoritarian. Just before losing consciousness, Kaeslana thought he had jumped from one experimental field into another.
However, this story is not long.
At least, in comparison, in comparison... the 12,688,358 eternal reincarnations in the past were almost a blink of an eye, like a beautiful dream, and I was still very moved when I woke up.
…you completed the ending of the first version of the story.
"I named it 'The Disaster of Kaeslana'. What do you think?"
Kaeslana squatted beside him and was silent for a long time. "Since you have such ability, why--"
“Why not let the story continue?” You grinned. “But Xiaobai, not counting me, even Lygus can completely control the direction of the Omphalos world.”
"For him, it was just an experiment."
“To me—” You patted his leaf fur, “This is just a game.”
He pursed his lips, his eyes gleaming so fiercely you almost thought he was angry.
almost.
But, Kaeslana said, "Then, we, Omphalos, have no meaning to you? ...And the same goes for Teacher Tibao and the others?"
——I’m sorry.
You answered him with a clear look in your eyes.
"Perhaps."
But that's not really important.
The only thing that matters is your sister; everything else is secondary. You can always tell the difference.
"So... you did all this just to play with me?" He looked good like this, his voice was full of life and power.
You nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, if I help you, you have to play with me."
Kaerslan's azure eyes flashed with many emotions in an instant. "If you treated this as a game from the beginning, why... [The first story] was like that?"
"You gave me... you gave Kaeslana, you gave everyone of the Golden Race... you gave everyone a happy and beautiful life. I don't believe this is just a game."
You blinked, "I'm surprised you asked me this question."
“…”
He pursed his lips stubbornly, still squatting aside, his hands on his knees, his eyes bright.
"If you don't know what [happiness] looks like, why would you want to be the savior who makes everyone's dreams come true?"
To be honest, I was really confused when you said this.
"Xiaobai, the happy and wonderful ending you imagined doesn't include you?"
You really don't understand. After all, the aura of his sister is so strong on Kaerslan, and you have a complete set of experience in this regard.
Compared to the continent of Teyvat, you are indeed just a passer-by in Omfalos. It's just that this world is a little special, it is in the [Emperor's Scepter], but that's all.
To a certain extent, aren't the continent of Teyvat and the interstellar world virtual worlds for you?
All the same.
Then you say: "But, of all Omphalus, the one for whom I most wish happiness is you."
It's that kind of situation where you clearly don't know, understand, or are not familiar with the person, but because of that vague sense of déjà vu, you sincerely hope that he can be happy.
At this time, Kaeslana lost all reaction, and his blank expression was secondary. He was now breathing out but not breathing in.
It is unclear whether Kaeslana is a bird, a kitten, or a puppy. He hugged his legs tightly and looked like a round ball.
Then, you slapped his head for a long time like waking up a flower, "It's time to get up, don't sleep any more, or you'll become a bad seed if you don't sprout!"
Kaerslana curled his lips, "I understand. If that's the case... I... I'm sorry. I was wrong before for not trusting you."
“Skip.” You clicked skip.
"..." Kaerslan opened his mouth, feeling a little discouraged. "Okay, I give up... Doesn't it mean that my happiness... has nothing to do with you?"
What else?
Your eyes replied.
"I have given you a beautiful dream. At least, it is something you can imagine, right?" You can't believe that there is such a stupid person like Kaeslan in the world.

"Just as you woke Caiuslana from the first story and he didn't understand it, so too did Lygus.
For you, there is never any such thing as treating the symptoms without addressing the root cause, but you still do it.
As for the development of this story, in the short term, probably only Zandar knows the answer.
"You are more suitable to be a father than me," he commented.
A cruel, cold, yet loving father.
“…It doesn’t sound like a good thing.”
_ ...
Although you think so, this is clearly the definition of "father" within the ecosystem. You think you are still a human being.
Zandar had no choice but to swallow the analogy about Boshizun reluctantly. It was obvious that he was indeed very dissatisfied with Boshizun.
There's nothing we can do about that. This is indeed not much different from the situation when you raised Boshizun, but Boshizun lost because it is an inorganic life. In this case, you have already said that you want to be a human, so naturally your thoughts should not be ignored.
Zandar has always respected your wishes in this regard.
At first, Lygus considered that you interfered with Omphalos's experimental process because you didn't want the Iron Tomb to be born.
But gradually, he discovered that what you did in Omphalos was also equivalent to an experiment.
…He started a new recording job.
The only difference is that in the following eternal reincarnation, NeiKos496, who was used to cultivate [anger] as a gift to the Iron Tomb in Lycoris's original sample, his [anger] is gradually subsiding.
You really want to say this is a good thing, but——
"Xiaobai, you look like you are 1.4."
The anger was gone, but he was also about to die out.
In the limited few communications, Kaeslana didn't know how to explain it to you.
There is no soil for cultivating miracles in the eternal cycle of reincarnation. Perhaps they exist in Omfalos, but it definitely does not include Kaeslana, who started the eternal cycle of reincarnation.
As the number of times accumulates, under the special protection, the object of hatred is shielded by you, and he even begins to avoid your search.
What's even more painful is that Kaeslana already knows what you want to do.
"What do you want to do?" asked Lygus.
This is not a difficult question to answer. Just like you find an outsourced tree planter for the continent of Teyvat, you also want to find an outsourced savior for Omfalos... Maybe this should be considered an internal referral channel?
But that doesn't matter.
Because you have already prepared the seeds of destiny for [miracle], "But why did Xiaobai run away?"
You must know that Kaeslana, who has persisted in reincarnation for tens of millions of times, must have the power to carry out miracles. You still hold a pure view: those who believe in miracles are as remarkable as the miracles themselves.
"Has he also discovered that being a Star God isn't a good job?" This is the only drawback you can think of.
"During the rehearsal, anything can happen." Zandar wasn't surprised. "For those who have lost and found, then lost again, confusion, doubt, and low self-esteem will secretly grow."
"He obviously knew what was going on."
You thought for a moment, "Did my first story give me a bad ending?"
“On the contrary, the defects caused by disasters will make people more sensitive to certain abnormalities after their personalities are restored.” Zandar looked at you thoughtfully.

“That’s bad,” you said slowly. “This guy… is just as hard to deal with as Nanook.”
…
Before Kaeslana's aura completely vanished, he still looked like a human being. But the eternal cycle of reincarnation continued to advance, in a way that you completely did not understand.
Yes...sister.
You thought about it and set foot on Omphalos's fate again. Not to find anyone, but to confirm your answer.
However, this time, it starts from Kaeslana."
