Chapter 509 The Future
The pulling speed was too fast, not giving Jiang Lin much time to think.
In just a few seconds, he made the decision.
Don't leave!
The attack from the giant's divine body is a fatal situation that is absolutely impossible to deal with at present.
However, the darkness before one's eyes and the existence that is pulling oneself towards him do not necessarily mean absolute danger.
At the very least, he still has some possibility of resistance.
One is certain to die, the other is possible to die. No matter from which perspective, the latter is more advantageous.
In this case, it seems that I only have one choice at the moment.
Jiang Lin didn't think any more and just remained vigilant, allowing the other party to pull him over faster and faster.
If you use the Giant Flow Arm Armor to advance, even if it is tens of thousands of miles at a time, it will take some time.
But under the opponent's pull, he was ten thousand miles away in an instant, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
In the end, Jiang Lin only felt as if he had traveled more than a million miles in an instant.
Such power was beyond his imagination and understanding.
Even a giant divine body probably couldn't do it.
The next moment, Jiang Lin felt an extremely violent tearing.
To be precise, it felt as if the body was being torn apart.
Sky Scale Armor made a deep voice as if it was overwhelmed: "Master, I can't withstand such power!"
Jiang Lin naturally understood that top-grade magic weapons could not fight against the darkness before him.
Even he himself, after entering the dark realm, felt as if he was facing a giant divine body.
Moreover, this attack came from all directions, without any blind spots and without any pause.
Imagine a giant divine body launching billions of attacks in an instant. How terrifying would that be?
Just when Jiang Lin thought he was doomed to die, the pressure around him instantly dissipated.
A golden light protected him, and a figure appeared in front of him.
The figure stood in the darkness, as if it was wrapped in the darkness, and as if it was a part of the darkness itself.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Jiang Lin could sense a familiar aura that came from the same clan as himself.
He identified the source of the breath almost instantly.
Oven method!
The same furnace baking method as his three indestructible golden bones!
But the opponent's furnace-baking aura was so powerful that it was unimaginable, more than a hundred times stronger than his own.
Jiang Lin was surprised, but before he could open his mouth, the other party spoke first.
"So it's you. No wonder someone can come here in this void."
The voice sounded very familiar, Jiang Lin couldn't help but ask: "Who are you? Do you know me?"
"Who am I?" The voice sounded extremely vicissitudes of life, as if it had experienced all kinds of changes in the world and spent countless billions of years in loneliness.
He chuckled and said, "I am you."
Jiang Lin was even more surprised, or rather, he didn't understand what it meant.
"You are me? What do you mean?"
The figure shrouded in darkness did not answer immediately, but asked: "Which year did you come from? Seeing that you have gathered all your Dao bones, it should be the time when Emperor Shun conquered the sky, right?"
Emperor Shun attacked Tian?
Jiang Lin was even more puzzled. Although Emperor Shun wanted to fight against the giant divine body, he had not done it yet.
And, does Fatian really mean fighting against the giant divine body from the outside world? It always feels weird.
Wait a moment!
Jiang Lin suddenly realized that the other party was asking him which year he came from.
And based on the fact that he has condensed all his Taoist bones, it is speculated that it came from the time when Emperor Shun conquered Tian.
According to the actual historical process, the border troops have not yet been expanded, the giant skeletons have not been completely collected, and Emperor Shun has not yet made any move to attack the sky.
And his own cultivation level is only to condense half of his Taoist bones.
So when did the other party say that?
future!
Only the future!
Jiang Lin couldn't help but blurt out: "Isn't this the place where Da Gan was founded a thousand years ago?"
"A thousand years ago?" The figure seemed to understand something and said, "So you are still in the period of just coming into contact with the historical fragments of a thousand years ago? I was wrong. You did not come here with your whole body, but with the help of the power of the human world of boxing."
Jiang Lin felt the hairs on his body stand on end. This conversation made him feel as if he was in another world and it was strange.
The figure did not continue to play dumb with him, and said: "You are right, this is indeed not a fragment of the long river of history thousands of years before the founding of Dagan, but after the founding of Dagan..."
His voice paused, and then he said: "I don't know how many years have passed now, maybe a hundred thousand years, or a million years? Or maybe even longer. Here, time no longer exists, so I can't answer your question."
Although the darkness obscured the other person's face and he could not make it out, Jiang Lin already understood why he felt his voice was familiar.
Although this voice is full of vicissitudes and fatigue, it is almost exactly the same as my own!
Jiang Lin's voice trembled slightly: "Could it be that you are me a million years later? This time when I entered the picturesque world of the human world, I did not trace back to the past, but came to the future?"
"Yes, if I remember correctly, it was when you were looking for the seventh strange fire for Jiang Hengyu that the power of the giant interfered with your boxing skills."
What the other party said is completely consistent with reality.
Jiang Lin wanted to doubt something, but he couldn't find any reason to doubt.
Because the opponent's power was too strong, the dark power that was comparable to the giant god's countless attacks in an instant could be easily blocked by it.
If you want to kill me, it's easy. There's no need to use all these messy methods.
After realizing this, Jiang Lin completely relaxed.
Since this is myself countless years later, there is no reason to hurt him.
Although the dark forces around are very terrifying, this is already the safest place in the world.
"It is true that the power of the giant's divine body may have interfered with my boxing skills, but I didn't expect to see my future self. Where is this? What are these dark forces?" Jiang Lin asked curiously.
"This is the macro universe. To put it simply, it is the collection of all worlds."
"Macro universe?" Jiang Lin was surprised. Even if the giant divine body interfered with the human world of boxing and caused errors in the timeline of [Human World Like a Painting], it should not go to other worlds.
The figure seemed to understand what Jiang Lin was wondering about, and said, "Seeing you reminded me of how I was also surprised back then, with the same questions and the same answers. You did not leave your original world, but after the final battle, all the worlds were connected, forming a macro universe that did not exist before."
"The darkness you see is a sign that the macro-universe is about to go out."
"And I am the only living person in all the worlds, supporting the macro-universe from being completely swallowed by darkness."
Jiang Lin was even more surprised when he heard this. The only living person in the world?
Doesn't that mean that everything that you are familiar with has been destroyed?
Including Old Man Wei, Emperor Shun, Sheng Yingchun, Liao Mingxu, Marshal Yu and so on.
"Yes, they are all gone."
Jiang Lin took a deep breath, suppressed his inner panic, and asked, "Why is this happening? What do you mean by the final battle? Who are you fighting against?"
"Our enemies are different every time."
The figure sighed and said, "Have you ever thought that you have the world of boxing skills, and I have it too. You can see your future self, but can I too?"
Jiang Lin had certainly thought about this question, but he wasn't sure how it related to what he was asking.
The figure said, "There have been countless of us who have seen countless future selves. Following the hints from the future, we have walked step by step until now you see me."
"Although I killed all the enemies, I also doomed all the worlds to be destroyed, and made myself endure this loneliness forever."
"I have to admit that even though I have paved the way for you countless times, I was still wrong before you made your decision."
"Or, in other words, countless of us have taken the wrong path. This path is not our best choice."
Jiang Lin seemed a little confused when he heard this, not quite understanding what he heard.
"You mean to say that before me, there were countless of us who saw the future. I learned about the future from them, and then made corrections, and finally came to this point with you?"
"Yes."
Jiang Lin was silent, looking at the endless darkness around him.
No wonder this place is so huge that it seems impossible to explore its boundaries even if it is tens of thousands of miles away. It turns out that this place is a collection of all the worlds, so it is naturally ridiculously huge.
It can even be said that the area that he has explored may just be the tip of the iceberg.
Most places were swallowed up by darkness.
Considering what the other party just said, I wonder if I have spent a million or tens of millions of years here alone.
Jiang Lin suddenly couldn't help but shiver.
Humans are social animals and find it difficult to tolerate loneliness.
I had done a similar experiment in my previous life. I locked a person in a dark, silent room where he could not hear any sound and could not see anything.
Almost no one can endure that feeling of near-absolute emptiness for more than an hour.
But my future self has spent countless tens of thousands of years here.
How did he endure such loneliness?
"The indestructible golden body allows us to live forever. Even if darkness really swallows up the macro-universe, we will not die."
"But this is not a lucky thing, but rather a curse."
"I've been waiting for you, just to tell you not to repeat your previous mistakes. This is not the path we want to choose!"
Jiang Lin finally understood that the Immortal Golden Body was indeed extremely powerful.
So powerful that even if all the worlds are destroyed, he cannot die.
In a sense, the ultimate goal has indeed been achieved.
But the question is, what’s the point of living forever in such darkness?
This road is indeed very unpleasant, and even unacceptable.
Jiang Lin took another deep breath and said, "Then tell me everything you know. We can study together to find the right choice."
"Of course, this is the greatest significance of my supporting the macro-universe from being swallowed up. Otherwise, if it is really swallowed up by darkness, you will be torn to pieces the moment you enter. By then, I will no longer exist."
Jiang Lin was stunned. If he died, would it affect his future self?
It’s not surprising to think about it. If there is no past self, how can there be a future?
He couldn't help but wonder whether his future self, during the countless years of loneliness, had ever prayed that his past self would die prematurely to put an end to this terrifying ending.
"I have never prayed for such a thing, because our belief is to control our own destiny. It doesn't matter if we take the wrong path for a while, as long as we correct it, we will always get it right."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin felt a lot more relaxed.
Yes, I never believe that it is a good thing for my destiny to be in the hands of others.
Only self-control is the best!
He exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "Then let's get started. I really want to know what my future self has done and what wrong paths he has taken."
"That's a very long timeline, and it takes a long, long time to talk about."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "You know, we have a lot of time. At least here it is almost unlimited."
"That's true. In that case, let's start from the moment you left here..."
In the world of "Picturesque World", time does not have much meaning.
In the past, Jiang Lin only thought that time was just a way for him to witness past history.
And now, in the macro universe invaded by darkness, time has completely lost its meaning of existence.
He listened carefully to his future self telling him what had happened.
There are many things that I have never thought of now.
It turns out that Emperor Shun’s goal was not simply to fight against the giant divine body.
It turns out that the so-called Emperor Shun's attack on heaven really meant to conquer the nine heavens.
Emperor Shun's only goal was to crush the Seventh Ancestor of the Western Yi with just one finger.
Because the Great Emperor speculated that giants were the kind of beings that fell into the human world after death.
There is no point in just fighting against the giant divine body.
An endless stream of giants will keep falling, and the people of Dagan will have difficulty ensuring permanent peace.
Therefore, he must completely shatter the nine-day cloud and eliminate the source of disaster from the source.
When hearing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but admire Emperor Shun.
This great emperor was even more far-reaching and ambitious than he thought!
"He is a very interesting and capable boy, worthy of being the descendant of Ma Ningyan." My future self praised.
In the future that has been verified, the choice made by Emperor Shun and Jiang Lin’s response at the time were not wrong.
But just as the flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a storm on the other side of the ocean.
The right choice at the time may not necessarily be completely correct from the perspective of the future.
In other words, it will become a trigger that leads to changes in a series of subsequent events.
Jiang Lin did not interrupt casually. He knew too little at the moment and just needed to listen.
In the macro-universe that has lost time, Jiang Lin heard countless futures in the darkness.
Countless selves, moving towards the future step by step, verifying every different choice.
Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times...
Even my future self can no longer count how many times this has happened.
For me, this is the future.
But to the future, that is the past.
During this period of time, it can happen once or countless times.
Even the most talented mathematician would not be able to calculate the numbers accurately.
Jiang Lin spent a very long time just listening, until he even forgot about time.
