Qi Jing was quite distressed. He had only been away for two months, and when he came back it was already two hundred years later, and everything was a mess.
Qi Jing's explanation caused a brief silence among them. Qi Mo soon asked, "If that's the case, why did my uncle choose the Qi family?"
"Here's what's going on." Qi Jing raised his finger. "Because I changed a lot of things, the world line has already started to generate automatically, passed down from generation to generation, and developed independently. After that, the small world was embedded and integrated with the world I changed according to the original settings.
Before sealing the spirit, I calculated that the descendants of the Qi family would occupy the vast majority of the plot, and I could access many plots through the Qi family and change them."
Gu Xuan frowned, "Since everything can be changed, why can't mine be changed?"
He was very confused about this. All Qi Jing did was to change the plot, but he couldn't change his own. The fortunes he had told him were all dead ends, making him wait for five hundred years. Gu Xuanyi still wanted an answer.
Qi Jing was also very discouraged. He sighed softly and said to Gu Xuanyi, "I don't want to either, but no matter what, I can't be considered a human being, nor a person of this world. In fact, I don't know what I am now, a god of this world, or the Tianzun who originally belonged to my world.
It's like two different races, unable to cross over, and you still have your own destiny. You can choose to break free on your own and not follow the plot, but you can never be with me.
I can't really describe how it feels, but it's like you have a bomb in you, and I'm the fire. You can get close to anyone, but if you get close to me, you'll be ignited and explode. I can only stay away from you."
Qi Jing paused and added, "Reincarnating as Gu Zhou is different. Although he also has a storyline to carry, the bullets Gu Zhou carries are blanks. There is no gunpowder inside. It's fine if he gets close to me, and it won't explode even if it's lit."
Qi Jing’s explanation was very simple and Gu Xuanyi could understand it, but he was still a little dissatisfied.
Qi Jing could only hold his hand soothingly, "Everything is fine now. The world we live in has taken shape, and we will all be free from now on."
Gu Xuanyi nodded, not because he accepted it, but because it was an unchangeable fact whether he accepted it or not. Now that he could meet Qi Jing and know the truth he had always wanted to know, there was no need for him to be so serious anymore.
Moreover, his consciousness will soon merge with Gu Zhou's. He will completely become Gu Zhou, and Gu Zhou will also become him. He can still stay with Qi Jing, which is enough.
Qi Jing smiled and tilted his head to ask Qi Jun, "Second Master, do you have anything else to ask?"
Qi Jun shook his head. It was enough to know these. As for the rest, he, a dying man, could not help much.
Qi Jing then asked Qi Mo and Qi Shuo, "What about you?"
Qi Shuo really wanted to ask, "Will Sun Wanying's system disappear?"
"The moment I took back my soul, the system disappeared, along with the soul that didn't belong to this world."
Qi Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I have nothing to ask."
Qi Jing teased him, "Your red thread hasn't appeared yet, are you sure you don't want to go look for it?"
Qi Shuo looked at Qi Jing meaningfully. He had been taught not to get married since he was a child. Now he was asked to find a wife, but he had no idea and no interest in doing so.
Qi Jing laughed and raised his eyebrows to look at Qi Mo, "What about you?"
Qi Mo frowned slightly, thought for two seconds, and then chose to speak, "What will happen to that world in the end?"
Qi Jing naturally knew which world Qi Mo was asking about. He lowered his eyes and said, "Mo Qian's world is quite special. It's not just one world. I put together several similar worlds.
I thought I could succeed, but the people in that world enjoy heroism too much, and all they display is the selfishness, greed, and cowardice of human nature. Even if they could develop self-awareness, their consciousness would only push that world towards destruction."
Qi Jing was sad. That betrayal made him feel like dying. If he had not been so powerful that he could draw out the divine power and inject it into his soul to differentiate into the golden dragon and the red dragon, he would probably have died in that world.
Later he went there many times. He wanted to try to change. He wanted to use the halo of the protagonist to motivate more people to resist, but he failed again and again and was finally disappointed, so he never went there again.
Qi Mo didn't mention it again. They had been there many times in the past six months, and most of the monsters had been dealt with. The inner elixir was also in Mo Qian's hands.
As for what the final outcome of that world will be, he has no right to interfere.
Qi Jun and the others left, leaving only Qi Jing and Gu Xuanyi in the room. The two sat in silence for a while, and it was Gu Xuanyi who spoke first to break the silence.
Gu Xuanyi asked him, "You've done everything you wanted to do, where do you want to go next?"
Qi Jing shook his head. He didn't know either. When his consciousness awakened and he came back countless times, he wanted to figure out why. After he was sure that he couldn't stop it from happening again, he wanted to see the world beyond the new beginning.
Qi Jing looked at Gu Xuanyi and said, "You know what? I was shocked when I first went to the real world. It was just like our current era. There were dozens of floors of houses, cars and airplanes everywhere, and even cell phones. It took me a long time to learn how to type."
Gu Xuanyi thought of Qi Jing's skillful typing and suddenly understood, "Did you learn this in that real world?"
Qi Jing nodded. "I was so curious about that place that I lived there for a long time. I also have supernatural powers in that world, so it's easy for me to do anything I want."
"Then why didn't you stay in that world?"
Qi Jing tilted his head. "Actually, I lived there for a long time and thought about living there forever. But I soon discovered other worlds and the stories of my world."
Gu Xuan was curious at first and asked him, "What role are you in that story?"
"Just a passerby."
"A passerby?"
Qi Jing nodded. "Although I am also a god, and a relatively powerful one, I am either in seclusion or repairing myself. I only appear in the finale. The rest of the time I live in the mouths of others."
"Then how did you awaken?"
"I don't know either. One day I suddenly realized that I seemed to have done the same thing, and then I found that I was repeating myself. My setting also helped me a lot in the real world."
Gu Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Repair?"
"Well, repairing the sky." Qi Jing tilted his head. "According to the setting, there's a void beyond the sky, very mysterious and dangerous. But the plot doesn't describe it in detail. After realizing I kept repeating myself, I thought about changing it, but no matter how I changed the plot, it would still lead to the final ending.
Then I gave up and decided to step outside the sky. And through that void, I crawled out of the computer of the man who created me.
Gu Xuanyi joked, "That's not a horror movie entering reality."
