Chapter 151 But lies can (additional update by the leader)

Prophecy cannot be changed, but if it is a false prophecy, there may be a chance to change it.

It was just like the Alchemy City back then, which forged a prophecy and made everyone believe that the sewers held the secret to becoming a god, attracting many adventurers to die and become the nutrients that would lead to them growing into gods.

In the end, Amberxiu cracked the prophecy and obtained the real future.

The prophecies forged by the Alchemy City naturally do not have the unchangeable nature of fate, so theoretically speaking, if Harvey saw the future forged by others, he might survive.

Catherine understood this time, but couldn't help asking, "How can this be proved? What if no one forged it?"

Who would frame an unknown fortune teller? No one knows when he will predict the future.

Amber crossed his fingers and placed them under his chin. He said thoughtfully, "The person who forged the prophecy can only be me. This is the only way to save him."

"I'm starting to not understand again," Catherine complained.

She used to think she was quite smart. After all, she was a genius who had advanced to the legendary level twice. The teachers who taught her magic all said that Catherine was the smartest student they had ever taught.

But after meeting Amber, she discovered that this lich's brain was different from everyone she had ever seen before.

In just a few days, he found a cure for the magic addiction that the elves were helpless against. He easily cracked and controlled the elves' magic wheel of fortune, and the elders were powerless to resist.

This knowledge related to fate is so profound. I know every word, but I can't understand them when they are put together. However, this lich is studying how to change the fate of a mortal man.

Could I witness history? Could I really see my destiny being altered?

Catherine began to get excited. It turned out that staying at home would not allow her to gain any knowledge. It was a wise choice to follow this lich master to gain experience.

Amber Xiu, however, did not feel very excited. He complained to Catherine, "Do you know what the saddest thing for a prophet is? It is to foresee one's own death and know that this future cannot be changed. The feeling of waiting to die is very uncomfortable and will drive most people crazy."

"So, I have been thinking about a question, whether prophecies are really unchangeable, and whether fate is really so ruthless. I once thought about using prophecies to fight against prophecies. In particular, can the ability of fate weaving cover the prophecies that have already appeared?

"I did a test. I predicted the death of a mouse, and then tried to use fate weaving to write a different future. But I failed. The ability of fate weaving could not take effect.

"To observe fate is to kill the possibility of fate and narrow it down to only one result. This result must be unchangeable, no matter whether it is seen by others or by yourself. There are never two contradictory predictions unless one of them is false."

Catherine listened carefully and couldn't help asking, "Then how do you prove that the prophecy is false?"

Amber Xiu smiled and said, "It's very simple. The forger naturally knows whether the prophecy is true or false. If the prophecy Harvey saw was a false prophecy written by me, doesn't that prove that the prophecy is false?"

"But, didn't you just hear about this? How is it possible..." Catherine seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise: "You are going to go back to the past and make up this false prophecy for him to complete the logic of this fate?"

Amber nodded and said, "Yes, that's pretty much the principle. This is the only way to save Harvey without violating the rules."

Catherine's eyes widened, surprised at Amber's boldness.

Going back to the past is no longer something that can be done by magic; it requires the power of gods.

But since he said that, he must have thought of a solution.

"If you can succeed, then wouldn't you be able to completely avoid the side effects of the prophecy? If you encounter any problems, just go back to the past and modify your own prophecy." Catherine asked excitedly.

If one can constantly correct fate in this way, what is the difference between him and a god? Amber smiled bitterly and said, "It's impossible. When I thought of this method, I could no longer be saved by it.

“The goddess of fate is a very idealistic deity, and the most basic rule of fate is that once you know it, you can’t change it.

"All the power of destiny that a prophet possesses cannot ultimately change his own destiny. This is the basic law of the prophecy school and cannot be changed. Accepting your destiny is the source of the power of destiny. If you think about changing your destiny, all your power will be ineffective.

"If I want to go back to the past to influence my own prophecy, there will only be two results. One is that no matter how hard I try, there will be accidents in the process of going back to the past, and the modification will fail. The other is that after I go back to the past, all the power of destiny will disappear, and there will be no way to forge a prophecy for myself.

"Once you know it, you can't change it. Once you see it, the possibilities of the future will be narrowed down to only one. This is an absolute rule.

"So I didn't tell Harvey about this method. He didn't know about it, so his future still had a chance to change. Once he heard about it or thought of it himself, his future would also erase this possibility. I wanted to go back in time to save him, but I would be blocked by countless accidents."

Catherine was extremely shocked and asked, "That is to say, you can't even tell this method to other prophecy mages, because all the prophecy mages who hear this method will lose the chance to be saved."

Amber Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, after I thought of this method, all my future was blocked from being saved by this method. I once thought about writing this method into a paper and publishing it, but later I gave up. At least I left a little hope for future generations. If I tell everyone about this method in advance, it would be equivalent to turning this only solution into an unsolvable one."

Catherine never expected that Amberxiu had such an emotional side, and couldn't help but say, "Maybe there was a prophecy wizard who thought of this method, but it wasn't passed down because he thought the same as you did. There will always be a genius who thinks of this method to save others, and he happens to meet the person he wants to save. It's really a dramatic story. If it is written into poetry, it should become a classic."

Catherine has already imagined many tragedies that make people sigh. The history of the school of prophecy is so long. If she digs up some information, she might be able to create many classics that will be passed down through the ages.

Amber Xiu smiled and said, "I'm not as sentimental as you. I just don't want to hurt others and benefit myself. If they had set a higher standard for the manuscript fee for the Prophecy School, I might have submitted my manuscript. You don't know that because the Prophecy School is too unpopular, Legendary Spells sets the lowest price for this type of paper. The manuscript fee is not enough to feed a dog."

Catherine didn't quite believe it. She felt that the lich Amber was sometimes quite humble.

"So, are you sure you can save people now?" Catherine asked.

Amber explained: "Theory is theory, practice is practice. I haven't really tried it yet. There are too many uncertainties. There is also a key question. How much will it cost me to reverse time and space and go back to the past? Is it worth it for Harvey?"

This is not a joke. No matter how much Amber admires Harvey's talent, he has to do what he can.

Going back to the past is already within the capabilities of the gods, I have never heard of any legend being able to do it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If you want to get the help of the gods, the price you have to pay must be very huge. If the cost is too high, Amber will really give up. Then you can only blame the goddess of fate for being so cruel that she doesn't give you any chance at all.

"Going back to the past... I've heard of this. During the time of the Dragon Tyrant, the dragons possessed a divine artifact that could reverse time and space, so they were able to rule the world. Later, the founding emperor of the Ryan Empire managed to steal the artifact and successfully overthrow the Dragon's rule."

Amber Xiu had also heard of the history that Catherine described, but he said, "Isn't this a wild history? I've read many books that mention this artifact. Some say it can reverse time and space, some say it can bring back infinite resurrections, and some say it can kill any dragon instantly... But they are all far-fetched and there is no evidence."

When Amber Xiu traveled through time, Ryan had already been established for a long time, and many records about the Dragon Era were just "rumors". Perhaps only the Ryan Empire had the most detailed records.

Catherine said confidently, "What I'm talking about is definitely not fabricated history. You may not know that the previous king of the elves was a friend of Arthur Ryan. They spent their youth together and were adventurous partners who shared life and death. We elves have a say in the information about this founding emperor."

"Is this true?!" Amber Xiu said in surprise.

Catherine said proudly, "Of course it's true. We elves have a long lifespan, and the immortal race's records of history must be more accurate than those of other short-lived races."

Amber Xiu really didn't expect to meet a historical figure, but the elves are generally long-lived, and even if the old king was bragging, he is a person who has lived from that era to the present, so what he said should be somewhat credible.

"Does he know where this artifact is?" Amber asked.

"I can ask for you, but I'm not sure if he can provide any clues. What are you going to do if he can't?"

Catherine was very interested in this story of reversing time and space to save people, and hoped to see a perfect ending, so she looked at Amber with expectant eyes.

Amber did not understand why this girl was so excited. She was not a prophet, and it had nothing to do with her. However, in Catherine's expectant eyes, Amber explained: "If I can't find this artifact, I will try my luck with the gods. Fortunately, I know several gods."

"God? Do you want to ask the Lich God for help? But I heard that this god is not keen on helping others." Catherine asked.

Amber Xiu retorted: "What stereotype? Just because I am a lich, do I have to believe in the lich god?"

"Which god do you want to find? If they are not my believers, the other gods will not bother to pay attention to you. As a lich, why don't you find the God of Liches? Are you going to ask the Lord of Dawn for help? Don't expect me to ask the elven gods for help. I am a sinner of the elves now. Not being punished is the best outcome."

Catherine was not refusing, she really couldn't help. Although she was favored by the elven gods, this time it was really wrong. She hadn't heard the voice of the gods for a long time.

Amber Xiu said: "I didn't intend to ask you to help contact the elf gods. I forgot to tell you that the God of Alchemy is my teacher."

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then screamed, "What did you just say?!"
