Infinity Throne

God’s perspective is always higher than that of humans.

Yi Rin is somewhere in between.

So he decided to try to explain all this from a "scientific" perspective.

Yi Lin dipped some water in the cup and drew a straight line on the smooth tabletop.

Xiao Xi was very patient, after all, there was a stack of ice cream of various flavors in front of her.

"Suppose this is the 'only reality', which is the core area of ​​Xiyuan..."

Yi Lin followed the end of the line with her fingers and drew fan-shaped branches.

"Countless people's decisions, countless variables, will give birth to countless 'artifacts', and in the end the 'reality' will follow the trajectory of one of the 'artifacts'? You are a bit suspicious of infinite file loading and restarting. Huh? You have this bug!"

There was a hint of helplessness on Xiao Xi's face, and she licked the corner of her mouth melancholy: "Infinite? Are you thinking...'source' is limited."

"source?"

"Yes, source. Whether it is the gods or the masters, they are all trying their best to compete for the 'source'. The source is the root of everything. It circulates in the vast ocean of sources. The source is constant and will not increase. , will not decrease. The 'dead' world will reach the place of sinking, be broken down into 'sources', and return to the source sea. Even the dead 'gods' will go back and become their original posture. Without consciousness, No identity, just pure 'information'."

Yi Lin suddenly realized: "This is...their bet."

"Yes."

"So, generating time artifacts also requires consuming sources?"

"Don't you think that every artifact is just words and thoughts? Every artifact is actually a real world, but the artifacts that are not recorded will be consumed. , only the recorded artifacts will become 'real' and the inevitable future. Of course, maybe 'they' won't care even if they know that I will do this, because in the process of repeated 'trying', only It will make me have less and less 'source', and I will only become weaker and weaker, just like now."

Yi Lin couldn't understand it, but was shocked.

"No," Yi Lin closed his eyes, thought for a moment, then opened them again. He pointed at the dried water stains on the table, pointed at the fork after "real", and asked, "Since this is a bet, the result will be the same." There are countless of them, so how do the gods confirm the 'results'?"

Xiao Xi stretched out her finger, dipped a little white cream on her lips, and tapped it lightly on the table. A striking white dot appeared on one of the bifurcated lines. After she made this action seemingly casually, she looked into Yi Lin's eyes with a smile: "Which line are you looking at now?"

Yi Lin looked at Xiao Xi in surprise and said nothing, but he vaguely guessed what Xiao Xi wanted to say.

Xiao Xi spread her hands and said helplessly: "I know you can't understand it at all now. It's in vain to ask, and it's in vain to talk..."

"No..." Yi Lin took a deep breath: "I can probably understand...it's the angle of observation. There are countless time artifacts, you only need to 'anchor' one 'point', where this 'point' is located Time artifacts are the observation angles of the gods..." Yi Lin raised her head and looked at Xiao Xi who was licking the ice cream very happily: "I am the 'anchor', so when I come back, Xi Le Only then will the core area be discovered..."

Xiao Xi smiled slightly.

Yi Lin's expression changed: "No, there is another problem with this conclusion. I must confirm it myself..."

After saying that, Yi Lin hurriedly walked out of the fast food restaurant. In a deserted place, Yi Lin opened a portal.

After several teleportations, Yi Lin returned to "Qingcheng".

This is...where it all begins!

his school,

his residence,

Yi Lin even sneaked into the police station and checked Qingcheng's demographic information in her own way.

His face darkened, and he teleported again, back to the Wuyi County Welfare Institution where he grew up.

…

at last,

Sunset dusk.

Yi Lin sat back down opposite Xiao Xi without saying a word.

Xiaoxi is still eating ice cream happily.

She ate all afternoon.

I saw Xiao Xi holding up a small spoon:

"I thought it would take you longer to understand this 'fact'."

Yi Lin can no longer explain clearly how he feels about Xiao Xi now.

Have you been played?

Have you been teased?

Yi Lin felt like a puppet on strings.

Not even qualified to be a 'chess piece'.

"Why?"

At this point, Yi Lin finally understood why one day in the 'future', the parents in his memory suddenly ceased to exist.

The reason is simple. The 'parents' in his memory never existed.

Even he himself, the human being named "Yilin" who has gone through all kinds of hardships, gone through three reincarnations, and witnessed the death of his wife Xia Ruxue, has never existed from the beginning to the end! In this world, there is neither "Yilin" nor "Ling Yiyi"!

This so-called "only real world" is a world where the two of them never existed!

They never existed here!

This is reality!

After Yi Lin personally confirmed this "cruel fact", he felt that his hands and feet were cold and had lost their proper temperature. Only now did he really feel an uncontrollable sense of loneliness, flooding into his heart and drowning out all his other emotions. Whether it was hesitation or pain, there was no emotion at the moment that could make Yi Lin feel more uncomfortable than the fact that "she never existed."

Even after climbing through a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood to resurrect from hell, Yi Lin felt that he was more like an "undead" at this moment. He had no contact with anyone in this world, no one knew him, and no one knew him. Meet "Yirin".

Yi Lin closed his eyes hard. What he really wanted to ask was not 'why'. After a moment of silence, he asked the question he really wanted to know: "Who am I?"

The answer is right here.

Xiao Xi licked the ice cream, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"

"nonsense."

"I think it would be better to wait until the day it is announced to explain this answer."

"...Your Riddler's old habits are back again, right?"

"...?"

Xiao Xi didn't understand this sentence.

But since Yi Lin forced her to ask, she could only answer truthfully: "You are a 'mistake'."

"Wrong?" Yi Lin was stunned.

"Yes, it's a 'mistake'. You are a simple 'mistake'. That's why I said that when the day really needs to be revealed, you will naturally understand."

Yi Lin's brows twitched, and the uncomfortable feeling in her heart was disturbed by Xiao Xi. It seems that Xiao Xi really doesn't know how to give the answer to the question "Who is he?", or Xiao Xi thinks Yi Lin can't understand the answer to this question before "the time comes".

…

When Xiao Xi was full, she and Yi Lin left the fast food restaurant.

She yawned and waved, and from the ripples beside her, a young woman in professional attire walked out.

"Xiao Xi! Xiao Xi!" The young woman looked anxious. As soon as she appeared, she lovingly picked up Xiao Xi and said, "Where did you go? You made my mother very anxious."

This scene seems familiar.

"Oh," Xiao Xi took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, this is just one of the 'backups' eliminated in the 'Xi Paradise Database'. It is not a real person, nothing special."

Yi Lin heard Xiao Xi's explanation. He was about to say that he had seen similar scenes "before", but suddenly, he looked at Xiao Xi's tired expression and remembered what she said about her weakness after turning on the "ultimate defense". After learning a lot of facts, Yi Lin's eyes narrowed and asked: "Could it be that you...have no memory of the 'future'?"

Assuming Xiaoxi's memory is complete, she will not take the initiative to explain this problem.

"That's not entirely true."

Xiao Xi closed her eyes and fell asleep in the young woman's arms. Her eyes were half-closed and her speech became slower and softer: "Every time artifact contains a complete 'one world' The data and countless time artifacts mean unimaginable 'data flow'. Even if the human brain is forcibly developed to 100%, it is impossible to process this data. If I want to forcibly process this terrible data, I will It cost me more 'sources', so to ensure safety and save money, Xileland has 'temporarily sealed' these data, and I only have 'useful data' left."

Yi Lin was speechless.

"It's about to begin..." Xiao Xi closed her eyes: "The first batch of recruitment has begun. They will enter the other world through Xi Paradise, invade the 'ships' of the gods, and secretly bring back the 'Source' for me. As long as they bring back If there are enough 'sources', I will soon return to my peak state. Our dawn will eventually come, and we will finally reach paradise. Please wait patiently."

Xiao Xi snored for a while, then murmured to herself as if she was dreaming: "In addition, in the 'Final Defense', you don't have to worry about the four Apocalypse Knights going too far. At this moment, they are nothing more than I'm a 'tourist', so I can't seriously interfere here. During the time I'm sleeping...Xile Paradise...for the time being..."

She pointed towards Yi Rin.

Ding~

A crisp alarm bell rang in Yi Lin's ears.

…

[Permissions changed. 】

[Permissions are temporarily upgraded from "Guest" to "Administrator". 】

[Permission is hard-won. 】

【Promote and cherish it. 】

…

Ah this?

administrator?

Yi Lin's expression changed: "I am...Master? Am I the GM?"

Xiao Xi fell asleep and didn't respond.

"Wait a minute, tell me first what I'm going to do next? Just throw an 'administrator' over and be done with it?"

In the young woman's questioning eyes, Yi Lin shook Xiao Xi on the young woman's chest, shaking Xiao Xi's head into a twist.

"If you have nothing to do, just write a diary... Don't you humans... all like to write diaries?"

After Xiao Xi finished speaking, she hiccupped completely.

Yi Lin shook for a long time, but finally failed to shake Xiao Xi awake.

In the end, he watched helplessly as a young woman in professional attire and white stockings who called herself "Xie'er's mother" gently held the sleeping Xiao Xi in her arms and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

Yi Lin was angry.

Who the hell keeps a diary?

…

ten minutes later.

Yi Lin bought a black leather notebook.

A serious person doesn't keep a diary, but he can.

…

【November 11, 2111】

Supplementary records.

My name is Yi Lin.

Even if the whole world doesn't know it, among the countless possibilities in this world, there once existed an undead named "Irin". But I know that I am Yi Lin.

It wasn't until the moment when the stars fell that I knew that it was me who pressed a "blue button" and sent away a billion people with my own hands.

this day,

I also met our goddess,

Her name is...Xi.
