I'm not a drama god

"But isn't this path already lost? Why does it still appear?"

Plum Blossom K stood in front of the glass window and pondered for a long time, "I don't know... It stands to reason that the conditions for embarking on the path of [Emperor] are extremely harsh. After the abolition of the feudal monarchy hundreds of years ago, it is no longer possible for anyone to become [Emperor]. , there is no news of Di Dao Guzang’s birth... Can you tell me more details, how did you meet him?"

Chen Ling immediately repeated everything that happened at that time, and Plum Blossom King's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"You mean, he knows you, but you don't know him?"

"Yes."

Plum Blossom K didn't speak, just stared out the window silently, his face more solemn than ever.

Seeing this, Chen Ling asked tentatively: "...Senior?"

"Maybe he actually met you."

"why?"

"The era archive is just an archive... Anyone can enter it through the media in your hand, but there is a time difference in this process." Club King said seriously, "Suppose you have one in your hand, and I have one in my hand. There is also one that you can use to enter the era archive tonight, but I didn't... I chose to enter it a year later.

Then the me one year later and you now all started at the same starting point. That is to say, after you enter the archive tonight, you can see me meeting you one year later... So you can Do you understand? "

Chen Ling's eyes widened in shock.

Chen Ling understood what she meant. It was like a 3A-level stand-alone game masterpiece. After playing it, he left a copy of his game save. After a few years, he gave this game to a friend, who Friends can also enter this archive, and they all start playing from the same starting point...

"No, if that's the case, then all I have left in the archive is something like a silhouette. Why can I still interact with you? If there is interaction between us, for example...for example, you tell me the lottery number for the next day. , wouldn’t I be able to buy a lottery ticket and win the prize the next day? Then wouldn’t I have changed history?”

Chen Ling realized that if this were really the case, wouldn't it cause a time paradox?

Plum Blossom King shook his head, "No... because for the medium in your hand, 'the present determines the past'."

"Deciding to go now...what do you mean?"

"You don't need to know this yet, you just need to remember the conclusion I told you."

Club King did not intend to delve deeper into this issue and continued:

"The Era Archive is the core of the Twilight Society. There are only three media in your hand that can enter it. They are indestructible and non-renewable. Theoretically, there is no fourth one in the world...

Because they are supreme and unique, they are also named [Yuanshi], [Morality], and [Lingbao] within the Dusk Society with reference to the mythological system before the Cataclysm.

[Yuanshi] is in the hands of the Red King, [Morality] is in the hands of the Gray King, and what you have in your hand is the [Lingbao]. "

Hearing these three names, Chen Ling instantly thought of the three Taoist deities in history. Unexpectedly, the Dusk Society was named after their names... This is enough to prove the importance of these three USB flash drives in the Dusk Society. .

"However, there is a drawback to the era archive... Once the media is lost and someone else enters the era archive, the traces left by the original owner of the media will be completely erased and replaced by the traces left by the new owner."

If a new player appears on the same device, will the old players be deleted?

Chen Ling figured this out instantly.

"Wait a minute, you said there are only three media in total, and I met a media owner who is neither the Red King nor the Gray King... Doesn't that mean..."

"In the future, someone among the Red King and the Gray King must have lost the medium in their hands." Plum Blossom K's face was extremely serious, "In other words, [Yuanshi] or [Morality] has changed hands. What you see , is the archive after time and space has been corrected.”

Considering the importance of the era archive to the Twilight Society, it is naturally impossible for the Red King and the Gray King to give [Yuanshi] [Morality] to others at will. This also indicates in disguise that something will happen to one of the two kings?

No wonder the Plum Blossom King looked so ugly just now.

Chen Ling finally figured out what happened. To put it simply, someone in the future who walked on the path of [Emperor] stole the medium of one of the two kings, and met his current self in the archive... ...It's like two players from different times entering the same fictional world to compete on the same stage. If he really kills himself in the archive, he will also die in reality.

Damn it... If that's the case, then even if he waits until next month to enter the era archive event for 12 hours, he won't dare to go in?

As soon as he goes in, the [Emperor] will chase him, but if he never dares to go in, wouldn't the [Ling Bao] be wasted in his hands?

Chen Ling carefully considered the pros and cons, and suddenly seemed to realize something, "So, the later I use the medium to enter the archive, the more advantageous it is? Because my own realm will be brought in. If I wait until I am strong enough to enter, what can I do? There will be more things..."

"Theoretically, that's the case." Plum Blossom K paused for a moment, "But if you enter later, your activity time inside will be shortened accordingly... Assuming that the Twilight Society successfully recovers the Nine Lords and restarts the world three years later, then you are now After entering the archive, you will have three years of free activity; if you wait two years and then enter again, you will only have one year of activity left. Although the starting time is the same, the subsequent time will be extended...

If the emperor entered the archive a year later, your activity time in the archive will be longer than that of him. Each has its own pros and cons. "

"That's it." Chen Ling thought thoughtfully.

Looking at it this way, although it is feasible to wait and wait for the realm to be raised before entering the archive, it is still a bit wasteful... And if you go head-to-head with the emperor, you need to make considerable preparations.

The emperor's pressure was certainly terrifying, but Chen Ling carefully recalled and analyzed it and judged that his current rank was only around the fifth level, otherwise he would not have been the first to encounter the fragments, or even break away from the realm and escape for a distance.

"I will report this matter to the Red King and Gray King immediately." Plum Blossom K said solemnly, "Also, since you want to be an enemy of the emperor, your current strength is still too weak, and in the era archives, no one can I can help you..."

The King of Clubs paused for a moment,

"You have to come back to Xidao Guzang with me as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Chen Ling understood the implication from the words of Plum Blossom King... Is there a way to quickly improve his strength in Xidao Guzang?

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

He immediately spoke,

"I have almost recovered and can set off at any time."
