God's Gift

After hearing what Yu Youyou said, the system didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a long time, it spoke cautiously:

[But if the system did not change the past and the future, how do we explain all this now?]

The moonlight mixed with a bit of coldness shone on the red roses. The wind that had been blowing stopped at some point, and the desert was silent.

"Everything in the world starts from cause and ends with effect." Yu Youyou's voice was a little ethereal, slowly dissipating in the cold and lonely night. "What do you think is the cause and what is the effect?"

[The system believes that the original ending in which Lu Keming devoured the Dark Star and lost his mind and slaughtered all living beings was a natural consequence.]

Yu Youyou's eyes were calm as she continued to ask, "Why do you think the so-called original ending must be the result?"

[Because that is a matter of the future, it is a natural result.]

"Since it is the future, it is something that has not happened yet." Yu Youyou looked in the direction of the main body of the system in the air, and the faint light seemed to be there and not there.

"But haven't those original endings you mentioned already happened?"

The system did not understand what Yu Youyou meant.

[God, how come this has already happened before we even reach the original ending?]

"If it hadn't happened, how would you know what the ending would be, and how would you have witnessed the failure of the previous 196 raiders?"

[......]

Yu Youyou’s words were too complicated, and the system was unable to react to the logic for a while, and the brain crashed for a long time.

Seeing that the system did not respond for a long time, Yu Youyou lowered her eyes, with an unclear emotion in her dark eyes, and said lightly:

“The ending is not necessarily the result, it can also be the cause.”

[God means that the original ending is not the result, but the cause?]

The system still can’t understand, how is that possible?

The ending is what will happen in the end, not the result, so how can it be the cause?

"Not only the original ending is the cause, but you are also the cause." Yu Youyou stared at the system, her voice still calm.

Hearing this, the system suddenly looked at Yu Youyou. It looked into those dark eyes, and in an instant it seemed to be looking into the void and out of the cycle of reincarnation.

"You always put yourself outside of cause and effect. You think you are the manipulator of cause and effect. But how do you know, when you try to change the outcome, whether you are outside of fate or inside of fate?"

Outside of fate, or within fate...

It is a supernatural life and does not belong to this world. Shouldn't it be beyond fate?

The system stopped in mid-air, looking at Yu Youyou, but the more it looked at her eyes, the more familiar they became. It seemed as if it had sensed the appearance of the god it had vaguely glimpsed when it was first born.

Its soul trembled at this moment, and the memories from the beginning of chaos came over and enveloped it in an instant.

It remembered.

It was Ou Xi who gave it divine power and awakened it from chaos.

That was the previous Ou Xi.

When it was born, the new Ou Xi was born.

If all this is fate, then the previous Ou Xi should have anticipated all this.

That's why the previous Ou Xi used his divine power to awaken it and let it travel in the universe, absorbing the energy of the protagonists of each small world to survive.

And it will inevitably meet Lu Keming, Shen Minghua and Ye Li, and will inevitably see their endings.

In order to obtain the energy of Shen Minghua and Ye Li, it will definitely awaken other attackers to attack Lu Keming and prevent him from killing Shen Minghua and Ye Li.

But no matter how many attackers it finds, the end result will be failure.

Because the only person it wants to awaken from the beginning to the end is the new Ou Xi.

This is the meaning of its existence.

[So the original ending was the cause, and the system constantly awakening the attackers in order to save Shen Minghua and Ye Li was also the cause.]

It is not a manipulator of cause and effect, but a part of cause and effect.

[Only when the gods are awakened will everything really start to work.]

[So the system never changes the future, it just drives everything forward, then…]

Before the system could finish its words, it was grabbed by a hand wearing an iron glove, and the unfinished words also disappeared into the palm of the hand.

Yu Youyou raised her head and looked at the man in black standing on the roof of the villa. There was no surprise on her face and she blinked slowly.

With the appearance of the man in black, black mist immediately surrounded the entire villa, a strong wind arose from the ground, and his robe fluttered in the wind.

Yu Youyou looked at the hand of the man in black. In the gap of the iron glove, the faint light of the system was still flickering.

She tilted her head, suddenly realizing what was going on, and looked at the system that the man in black was holding tightly in his hand. She stared and asked, "So you didn't ask that yourself?"

[God, he forced me to do this...]

There was an obvious sense of guilt in the system's voice.

The man in black did not interrupt the conversation between the system and Yu Youyou. He just stood silently on the roof, staring at Yu Youyou without saying a word.

Yu Youyou snorted, put her hands on her hips, and angrily cursed: "I said you wouldn't show up for a few years, why are you suddenly out now? Turns out you've become a traitor..."

It was only then that the man in black finally spoke. His voice seemed to be separated by a thick fog, but it was not distant:

"Didn't you notice I was here a long time ago?"

Yu Youyou's voice stagnated, and she looked up at the man in black as if nothing had happened. There was no embarrassment on her face at being exposed. She put on a familiar smile and praised:

"You've discovered all this, that's amazing."

The man in black did not respond to Yu Youyou's words. His face was hidden in the black robe and covered by thick fog, looking a bit scary in the dark night.

He raised his foot and stepped in the air, walked slowly to Yu Youyou, opened his palm and released the main body of the system. The black mist that had been lingering around him surrounded Yu Youyou.

"Did you just tell me everything?"
