Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

Jiang Qiqi's voice finally sounded again, her tone was dim and a little more fearful.

"But if we do this, won't there be many new parallel universe branches, but those branches are no longer [Second Round] [Third Round], but are completely extended from [First Round], "First Round A" and "First Round B"? "

"If all those multiverses with the same process and only two endings exist at the same time, doesn't it mean that a certain "round" decomposes a large number of universes with exactly the same plot, but occupies countless worlds and has only two endings?"

"Then, if Shenlu wants to make you and me in the corresponding 'rounds' in those worlds players, and also record these data, wouldn't it increase the computing power of Shenlu servers in vain, because before the result leads to the creation of parallel universes in 2024, the development of the stories in these universes is exactly the same..."

"If the God's Path server is really the omniscient and omnipotent Laplace demon, then it's fine, but the God's Path server clearly has a lot of human traces, which means that it can't maintain the infinite division of a single world plot (specifically a certain round here) for the sake of you and me."

"No matter how huge the computing power is, it is limited. It's like running the same code over and over again in a computer, and letting it run the same code countless times at the same time. As long as it reaches a "false" anchor point event, it will split a parallel universe, and its computing power will collapse sooner or later."

Hearing this, the cold voice of the Thunder King sounded.

"So the Shenlu server will actively trim the timeline. Not only will it not run repeatedly countless times, even if two parallel universes are generated after other scammers return to the game, it will choose one of them to merge. Shenlu will merge the timelines before the anchoring event arrives, but the merger usually comes quietly."

"And it cut out a timeline that it thought shouldn't exist, and by using this bug, it made you a [pseudo] anchor point, and it can use the chaotic state of Jiang Qiqi to guarantee that in the uncertain future world, there is always a world where you still exist, and it is still the you that I know in my cognition."

After hearing these words, Jiang Qiqi was stunned.

“But if you put it that way, isn’t it unfair to Qin Shang in other worlds? For example, Qin Shang in Act A or Act B, if in the original Act A world, Jiang Qiqi from Act A died, and you used the principle of this pseudo-anchoring event to exploit a bug in order to find Jiang Qiqi, and hid in the world of Act B.”

"Then wait until the timeline expands to the day when the tragedy happened in the first act. Then you find a way to rewind in a short period of time and replace a certain first act A, or first act B. Anyway, it is the ending world of the first act where Jiang Qiqi and Qin Shang are happily together. Then... what about Qin Shang who originally corresponds to the world of first act A?"

"Since they have already continued the world of the previous week, and continued the happiness of the previous week, it is actually equivalent to you and I surviving in another multiverse. We will not be separated, and we will never be separated. Then there is no need for you to [faked your death] and break into their lives..."

Hearing this, the Thunder King's tone, which had originally been calm, became a little more impatient.

"No, only I can protect Jiang Qiqi. Only I can protect Jiang Qiqi in the first week. As for the original [first week] parallel world, whether it is B or A, the Qin Shang in this timeline was originally a branch of my memory. I can perfectly replace him."

"And there won't be any butterfly effect because I left the world in the first round. The God Road server won't cut it. There is only the world where I am, so don't worry..."

"Okay, take a break."

“But… what about the second round? If you want to use a bug like this, and you are the transit point in the second round world that caused the serious butterfly effect, where will you survive until Jiang Qiqi becomes |Schrödinger's Jiang Qiqi|, and then rewind to the second round before the multiverse parallel universe of the first round, what should Qin Shang in this world do?”

"What will happen to that world after you return?"

"There is also the original timeline. If the first round is split into countless first rounds, a, b, c, d, then you will only stay in the world where Jiang Qiqi is still alive. In other words, if you use the card bug to create two parallel universes, first round a and first round b."

"The ending of A is what you expected, and the ending of B is based on Jiang Qiqi's death. So you will definitely return to A and live in A. Let's not talk about Qin Shang who was replaced by you in A. I want to know, what should Qin Shang do with the bad ending in B?"

"Well, it will probably be merged. After all, it is an abandoned timeline. However, Qin Shang in Act 1B has the same story development as the world I am in right now, which means that he will also meet you, and they will also talk about this topic today, just like us."

"In other words, assuming that Act 1 b turns into a bad ending someday in the future, then 'Qin Shang - Act 1 b' will probably do the same thing as me. His Act 1 b world will also have a chaos event, |Schrödinger's Jiang Qiqi|, and then split into 'Actual 1 ba' and 'Actual 1 b-β'. At that time, he will also perform the above operations in order to pursue one of the Act 1 worlds with a good ending."

"Okay, go to sleep. There's no point in thinking so much. You're still by my side now..."

……

After hearing this, Qin Shang's pupils almost shook back and forth several times.

Are you two going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?

No... Have these two people actually discussed such profound philosophical questions before?

If Jiang Qiqi died at a certain point in time, Qin Shang, who faked his death in the first week to come to the second week, would have thought of this and used the "Schrödinger's Jiang Qiqi" bug to extend a new parallel universe?

In this way, the world in which they are in love is actually the "first round" where the Thunder King, that is, "Qin Shanga" and Jiang Qiqi coexist in my concept.

Rather than the world that Qin Shang A originally lived in...

The first week in Qin Shang's worldview;

It is the world where the King of Thunder and Lightning goes back to 05, before he met Jiang Qiqi.

In other words, it did not cause the butterfly effect, resulting in Jiang Qiqi not being a beta player in that world.

The "Second Round" in Qin Shang's worldview;

The world he lives in now is the world where the Thunder King met Jiang Qiqi on the Death Train in 05.

The first week of the world view of "Qin Shang A" (formerly Thunder King);

This is the timeline in which he first met Jiang Qiqi in the long-term [rewind], that is, the "second round" in Qin Shang's worldview.

The "second round" of the "Qin Shang A" world view; that is, at a certain point in time when he and Jiang Qiqi were in love, Jiang Qiqi's death caused him to get stuck in a bug, and he entered a timeline where he was just messing around.

Qin Shang brainstormed for a long time before he figured out the relationship and took a deep breath;

"In my previous speculation, the world before the first long-term replay of the Thunder King came here was called the "first round", but it is obviously not. In his eyes, the world where he and Jiang Qiqi were in love, because of his "faking death" replay, which caused the butterfly effect and led to the world where they met in the "Death Train" in 05, is the first round in the eyes of "Qin Shang A"."

"So is the world I'm in now the "second act" in the eyes of "Qin Shang A" or the parallel universe of the expanded timeline of "first act"? "

Qin Shang was at a loss at this moment, and smacked his lips after a long while.

"Qin Shang A in this timeline should have met Jiang Qiqi for the first time in 05, which means this is what he calls the "first round", and what I consider the "second round."

Thinking of this, he felt relieved for some reason.

But the next moment, his heart suddenly rose to his throat and his expression changed drastically.

They must have had an accident, otherwise I wouldn't have been in trouble...

"Wait, "Qin Shang A" seemed to have said that if a parallel universe is about to be cut, the Shenlu server will merge it into other timelines and eliminate this parallel universe..."

"So, as the first episode in his world view, that is, the timeline where he and Jiang Qiqi first met, if Jiang Qiqi really died at a certain time point in this timeline, he used the [Fake Death] card bug to turn Jiang Qiqi's anchoring event on this timeline into a chaotic state."

"Two new parallel universes have been split. If the timeline I'm in right now is the perfect ending, I should have been replaced by his memory by now."

"I don't even remember being a Divine Path player. If I were him, my level would be the Rule Realm, not the Law Realm. There would be no natural progression of the timeline. Jiang Qiqi's disappearance wouldn't have happened, right?"

"In other words, this timeline is the bad ending in which Jiang Qiqi dies in the split caused by Qin Shang A, and Jiang Qiqi really has an accident one day in the future after their conversation in "First Act". "

"That's the so-called 'First Round B'. So, this is a parallel universe that is about to be merged. Then, my God Road ID suddenly became the King of Thunder and Lightning because he will not come back here..."

"Son of a bitch!"

"Did this guy really abandon this timeline to look for his "First Week A (good ending)" Jiang Qiqi?"

“Could it be that what he called “Schrödinger’s Jiang Qiqi” was the big event of the God Road players in 17?”

"But 17 years later in "First Round B", since it is a bad ending, why is there such a person as Jiang Qiqi in my world view? Jiang Qiqi didn't die in the "God Road Player Incident" at all!"

"And I don't have any memories of him? Is this "First Week A" or "First Week B"? If he replaced me in this world, then after his consciousness leaves, I should also inherit this memory, right?"

Such a mess, such a mess...

Qin Shang covered his head, feeling like his brain was about to explode.

He immediately took out the 'Devil's Kiss' and gave himself a blow.

Then he took out the small silver-white card, and his expression became more serious;

"And if this is "Age B", why did he let me enter 8.31 on August 0331st?"

"Is there something he wants me to get there?"

"If this is the timeline he abandoned, then there should be no reason for him to come back, right? Shouldn't he have allowed this timeline to be [cut] or [merged]?"

Qin Shang tightened the character card in his hand, and his expression suddenly became serious.

An inexplicable sense of urgency emerged in my heart.

There are some things he must know, and he must know them now, without waiting even a second.

Especially at this moment, his own Shenlu ID was inexplicably changed to "Thunder King".

This means that something must have triggered the butterfly effect at some stage in this timeline.

In the past of this "First Round B" world.

At this moment, something changed at a certain point in time, so my ID became 'Thunder King'.

So, who changed the timeline of "First Act B"?

In 2024, the timeline in which the beta fraudster is still called the Thunder King is... the world of 'Qin Shanga' (formerly the Thunder King). In that world, there is no Jiang Qiqi among the beta players. He (Qin Shanga) didn't know when, because he had just killed a "god" in the game, he [faked his death] and went back to 2005, and then all this began.

There was no beta hypnotist Jiang Qiqi in that timeline, so he did not change his Shenlu ID and was always called the Thunder King.

Qin Shang's eyes widened. Someone had [cut] away the past, merging my world with the world before the Lightning King came here;

"Damn it, could it be that this place has been merged by the "Divine Road" into the world before the Lightning King met Jiang Qiqi???"

"Damn it, doesn't that mean there will be no history of Jiang Qiqi in my world? I want to enter the dungeon and ask the "administrator" for clarification..."

He was horrified and immediately took out "Xiu Xiu's Blood Pipa".

After summoning Shen Xiuxiu, he didn't waste any time and directly asked Shen Xiuxiu to take him into [No. 37 Lin's House].

Shen Xiuxiu also noticed that there was something wrong with Qin Shang's expression, so she didn't say anything.

After saying "yes", he took the lead and returned to the "God's Road".

At the same time, Qin Shang's face was serious, and he had a pair of embroidered shoes on his feet.

"【track】!"

The embroidered shoes suddenly carried Qin Shang up into the air, but perhaps because there was no target, the embroidered shoes stopped moving again.

Qin Shang seemed a little confused, his expression was grim, and he took out the Demon Slayer.

"【Splitting the Sky】"

click-

With a layer of silver-white luster rippling in the void, the space was directly torn apart.

The embroidered shoes suddenly had a direction, just like when you come home and suddenly see your goddess sleeping naked in your bed, you instantly become excited as if you were injected with chicken blood.

whoosh-

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shang disappeared from the spot.
