Creed of the heavens

Yongzhen's words are not difficult to understand. To put it simply, both methods require a dead person, the only difference is whether the dead person is Jiulang or a wolf.

Before Jiulang could speak, the loyal wolf stood up first: "How do I get the Changying Flower? Is it in the Palace of Origin?"

Yong Zhen shook his head: "The Ever Cherry Blossom is a special variety brought out by Mr. Zhang and Ba Master from the fairyland. After a branch containing the most essence power is picked off, the Ever Cherry Tree will wither quickly. The Palace of Origin I can't find a second plant in the country."

All the people present subconsciously turned their eyes to the burning incense burner, and the most essential part of ever cherry tree had been turned into the raw material of Yuan Zhixiang.

Jiulang breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be free and easy and said: "Since the Changying flower can no longer be found, let's use the first method."

"Don't jump to conclusions."

Lu Xiao glanced between Jiulang and the wolf: "I have a way to send a person back to three years ago, and take back the ever-dried cherry blossoms from Xiaoxiao's hands."

The plot of this part of the game is very nonsense. The wolf obviously just used the bell to enter the fantasy memory, but somehow he was able to bring out the cherry blossoms from the fantasy, which is completely illogical.

Long before entering the wolf world, Lu Xiao had planned the use of the reserved magic power of the time gem.

Since he decided not to follow the ending of Return of the Dragon, the props needed to return to ordinary people will naturally be in his consideration.

After entering the world of Sekiro, the first thing Lu Xiao confirms is the time point of the story. The tragedy at the Hirata mansion has already happened, and the only way to go back three years ago is through the power of the time gem.

"I"

Before Jiulang could express his opinion, the wolf immediately interrupted him, and asked Lu Xiao firmly, "What should I do?"

Lu Xiao squeezed the Jue, and drew a large amount of magic power to open the Eye of Agamotto worn on his chest. With the slight turning sound of the mechanism, a dark green gem light appeared in the castle tower.

"Wolf, have you really decided?"

Lu Xiao looked at the wolf seriously and asked: "The method of intercepting past fragments can only be used once, and there is no turning back when you shoot the bow."

The wolf nodded without hesitation and said, "You can't let Yuzi bear the price of severing immortality, so send me off."

"Okay, I wish you prosperous martial arts."

The light of Agamotto's eyes shined brightly, and Yongzhen and Jiulang subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands.

When the two put their hands down, the wolf standing in front of them had disappeared.

Yongzhen's soft eyes fixedly looked at the gem of time on Lu Xiao's chest, with a strange brilliance shining in his eyes.

Do you control time?

Chapter 166 Choose words to fill in the blanks, catch O in X?

"call"

Lu Xiao, who had consumed a lot of mana, turned pale, and gasped for a while after closing the Eye of Agamotto.

"I've already set up the wolf's return mechanism, as long as he gets the evergreen flower, it will automatically trigger the return."

"Kurang, you and Yongzhen stay here and wait for the return of the wolf. I will take a short rest and head to Yuanzhi Palace."

Jiulang looked a little dazed, as if he hadn't recovered from the wolf's choice of self-sacrifice.

Yongzhen replied instead of Jiulang: "Your Excellency Lu Xiao, you have been working outside for a whole day, and you really should take a break. Let us guard here."

The tired Lu Xiao didn't notice Yongzhen's flickering eyes, waved her hand and went to the guest room of the castle tower to enter a state of meditation.

Since learning orthodox meditation at Karma Taj, Lu Xiao has been using meditation instead of sleep most of the time.

As long as one's own reserve magic power is not greatly consumed, it usually only takes 12 hours to recover the energy consumed in a day.

In order to drive the operation of the time gem, Lu Xiao not only used up the energy stored in the time gem, but also consumed a lot of her own magic power. Naturally, the meditation time will be longer than normal.

It was past 6 o'clock in the morning when Lu Xiao closed his eyes and meditated. When he recovered his energy and checked the time through the fully automatic mechanical watch in his hand, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.

3 more hours?It's acceptable, huh?

Gradually recovering her perception of the outside world, Lu Xiao suddenly found that there was another person in her room.

Yongzhen, she sat silently in front of the tatami where Lu Xiao was resting, her water-like eyes fixed on Lu Xiao.

"Yongzhen?"

Lu Xiao didn't take off his clothes and armor while meditating, so it wasn't embarrassing to face Yongzhen, but he wondered why Yongzhen put Jiulang down to "monitor" him.

It was only at this time that Lu Xiao noticed that Yongzhen's eyes had been fixed on his chest.

Of course, he would not be narcissistic and think that Yongzhen was greedy for his body. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiao immediately understood Yongzhen's intentions.

"Unfortunately, the Time Gem doesn't allow people to change the past at will like you think."

Lu Xiao tapped lightly on the shell of the Eye of Agamotto: "Not to mention that this magic weapon has temporarily exhausted its power, even if it can still function normally, it is impossible for you to go back to the past to save Yixin and Daoxuan."

Yongzhen pursed her lips, and she, who was always gentle and elegant, rarely showed a stubborn and unconvinced attitude.

"Why? Since the wolf can go back to the past to obtain the everlasting cherry blossoms, why can't Lord Yixin and the master be saved?"

Lu Xiao shook her head helplessly: "Yongzhen, the laws of time are not so easy to destroy. Going back to the past and acting recklessly will cause a very serious time paradox."

"I let the wolf go back to the past to get the flowers of everlasting cherry blossoms, but the flowers of extraordinary cherry blossoms. Can you understand the difference?"

Seeing the incomprehensible expression on Yongzhen's face, Lu Xiao rubbed her hair with a wry smile: "Let's put it this way, if the wolf snatches the whole branch of evergreen from the owl's hand, the world we live in will be changed in the timeline. Changes take place."

"However, if you just take away the perennial cherry blossoms that would have withered, without touching the key nodes, the history will only undergo a small-scale logical and self-consistent modification, which will not affect the overall situation."

"Make an analogy."

"If the wolf killed the owl in the battle three years ago, then when he returns to our time point, history will fine-tune it so that the owl was seriously injured but survived, ensuring that the owl can survive until three years later, and finally Die at my hands."

Lu Xiao looked at Yongzhen seriously and asked, "Where are Daoxuan and Yixin? Are you sure you can save them without changing the overall situation?"

The answer is impossible.

Leaving aside what happened to Daoxuan, Yixin's death itself was a major event that pushed forward the course of history.

Even if there are differences in the process due to different choices, the final outcome will not change.

Yongzhen is not stupid, she has excellent learning and comprehension abilities in all aspects, Lu Xiao's explanation quickly made her understand that her thoughts were just wishful thinking after all.

As the goal of immortality is about to be achieved, the confusion that has never dissipated in Yongxin's heart reappears.

The body that was sitting upright and kneeling was slightly discouraged, and the young Yongzhen showed a deep depression. She lost her goal and seemed to have given up thinking about her future.

"Your Excellency Lu Xiao, you asked me to find a new goal and get rid of my confusion. I can't do it."

The calm, gentle and kind Yongzhen is a trustworthy and reliable partner in the eyes of Jiulang and Lang. They have never seen a weak posture in Yongzhen.
