Su Mingan nodded, indicating that he understood the concepts of the two terms.
The Lord of the World went further: "Originally, the 'Drama Memory Lens' was stable, and the 'narrative anchor' was only fixed on the protagonist. Therefore, the time of Luowasha was stable, history would not be changed, and the future would not undergo major changes."
"But the Lord of the End of All Things is modifying Rovasha's 'narrative anchor'. I don't know what kind of invasion method He used, causing the 'narrative anchor' to begin to shift slightly."
Su Mingan asked, "Who is the 'narrative anchor' and how is it chosen?"
"In the past, the 'narrative anchor' would be fixed on the great men of each generation. Those great men all led an entire era and made heroic achievements. With the sudden appearance of Si Que, his existence took away the glory of contemporary great men, so the 'narrative anchor' was fixed on Si Que. After Si Que disappeared, the 'narrative anchor' was fixed on the Turritopsis dohrnii. When you arrived, the 'narrative anchor' fell on you." The Lord of the World tapped the chair with his fingers:
"I guess this is an automatic selection mechanism. Whoever is the greatest person of this era will automatically be the 'narrative anchor'."
"I wanted to work with you before because I realized that the 'narrative anchor' of this era fell on you, so I knew you would definitely do something that would move the world. Working with you is like adding wings to a tiger and icing on the cake."
"And now... the 'narrative anchor' seems to be starting to deviate from you. Sometimes it's with you, and sometimes it's not. I guess the two 'Su Ming'ans in the Disciple Game were created by the Lord of the End of All Things. They are forgeries used to seduce the 'narrative anchor'."
"As long as the seduction is successful and the 'narrative anchor' falls completely on them, Luo Washa's time will be messed up, and so will all of us."
"What's the chaos?" Su Mingan still didn't understand.
The Lord of the World pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "--Can you imagine? In the last second, your best friend was still Noel, and in the next second, your best friend became Edward."
The example given by the Lord was refreshing, and Su Ming'an immediately became sober.
"No wonder everything in Luowasha runs according to 'story logic', because the underlying structure of this civilization is composed of two concepts: 'narrative anchor' and 'dramatic memory lens'..." Su Mingan touched his chin: "Just like the reels of film in a movie, if the film is disrupted, the movie will become a mess."
In his literature appreciation class in college, he learned about the principles of film.
First, film recording: the camera focuses light onto the film through the lens, and the film records the picture at that moment.
Second, the film arrangement: these still images are arranged one after another on the film, with a small gap between each frame. The film is continuous and records the entire length of the movie.
Third, projection: the film quickly passes through 24 frames per second, thus producing a continuous dynamic image effect.
Therefore, the order of the images recorded on the film determines the images projected.
And Rovasha’s theory of time is——[filmed lens time].
An analogy:
Film means - the long and long river of time in Luowasha.
Every frame on the film means - every lens of dramatic memory.
The movie is shown, which means that trillions of dramatic memory lenses have been arranged and civilization has begun to function normally.
The First Age, the Second Age, the Third Age, the Fourth Age… the first light of human fire, the first white smoke from Watt’s steam engine, the first hum of Siemens electrical appliances, the first operation of an electronic computer… before the “movie” was shown (before civilization began to operate), these key historical events were piled together like unarranged film.
You have no way of knowing when they will occur, or if they even exist.
Just like——
When an electron passes through the double slit,
Before you drop down to observe, you have no way of knowing whether the electron you observed is on the left or the right.
When the "narrative anchor" has not yet been set, these films can be freely combined into a chaotic history and future, presenting complex possibilities.
For example, maybe the Watt steam engine had never been invented. Maybe humans had never lit the first bonfire. All we need to do is take down the "film" representing these two key historical points, and these two events would no longer exist.
You can even combine them freely, putting the "film" of the Second Industrial Revolution before the "film" of the First Industrial Revolution, so that the time of the two revolutions is reversed.
However, when the "narrative anchor" is determined to fall (the memory lens determines the order and civilization begins to operate), the scattered films instantly form a movie, and other "possibilities" of sorting will disappear. Just like the moment when the lid of Schrödinger's cat is opened, the only real result is determined and the film is arranged - Watt has undoubtedly invented the steam engine, and mankind has already ignited the fire of prairie fire.
And everything Su Mingan sees now is based on this only narrative anchor point.
That is, the great man → Si Que → Turritopsis dohrnii → Su Mingan.
Such a sequence is fixed and eternal. So history is certain and will not change. Time also flows in a forward direction, like a river flowing from top to bottom.
But what the Lord of the End of All Things is doing now is to deviate from this sequence.
become:
Great man→Si Que→Turritopsis dohrnii→Su Ming'an→Su Ming'an No. 2→Su Ming'an No. 3→Su Ming'an No. 2...The narrative anchor points jump repeatedly, like an endless irrational number.
This will cause the entire Rovasha to fall into chaos, resulting in unpredictable consequences and deviations.
The arrangement of the lenses of the drama's memories changes, history becomes disordered, and time becomes an upside-down river.
Tearing up the film itself, messing up all the reels.
——Kill the Savior Script.
"Let's go, the Lord of the End of All Things has officially taken action. Since we can't affect the Disciple Game for the time being, we will act in the outside world... I will take you to see the God of Annihilation." The Lord of the World stood up.
