Lost Narrative Poetry

"Well, I always feel like something's not right..."

In the endless storm of chaos, a slim figure seemed to be unaffected by the tide of destruction. He looked elegant under the parasol, and the delicate hands holding the handle of the umbrella also looked slender and white.

It's just such a white parasol decorated with ruffles. The material is ordinary. It doesn't look like a legendary artifact. It exudes dazzling special effects, but it can easily withstand the scouring and sweeping waves all the time. The storms and tides of countless "plane worlds".

The monster girl under the umbrella seemed to suddenly feel something very unpleasant, and she frowned slightly.

She thought for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at the black figure beside her, and asked directly in a determined tone: "Wait! Did you do something bad again?"

"No!"

Xia Ran, who was standing quietly side by side with the monster sage and watching the chaotic scene in front of him, denied it immediately and confidently.

He obviously didn't do anything.

"Lie." Yakumo Purple snorted and came to a conclusion directly.

"What? How could you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?" Xia Ran opened his eyes wide. Of course he was not convinced by this. "I don't even know what you are talking about. Why do you think I am lying?"

"Yes, you don't even know what I'm talking about, but you reflexively try to deny it without even asking. Doesn't that mean you're lying?" The monster sage calmly gave evidence of his suspicion.

"..."

"..."

"Why aren't you talking?" The blond monster sage half covered his face with a fan and looked at the boy with funny eyes.

"Ah ha ha ha, the weather is so good today..." Xia Ran turned away and laughed heartily. She raised her hand to cover her forehead and raised her head slightly, as if she was subconsciously affected by the glare of the sun. The action is the same.

If it weren't for the endless chaotic storms all around, the eternal raging tide of destruction, and the half-planes, small worlds, and subspaces that quietly lay across the void of time and space...

It's probably still somewhat convincing, but it's a pity that this is the "Tai Chi" inside him, the edge of everything in the inner universe.

"The weather is nice?" Yakumo Purple almost laughed out loud, "Where are you talking about the weather?"

"..."

"..."

"Don't talk about this, we are still friends." Xia Ran sighed, why is this little girl so ignorant?

"Hey, who wants to be friends with you..." the monster sage said with a look of disgust.

Huh?

Why does this sentence sound so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere...

Xia Ran couldn't help but blinked. He always felt that this sentence seemed a bit familiar. Not long ago, the girl seemed to have said such a sentence to him in an awkward manner.

Of course, she did not choose to be friends with herself... As if she was recalling something, the smile on Xia Ran's face looked peaceful.

So, it really is life... He didn't say anything, he just thought about it and nodded in agreement, as if he was having a dialogue with his own heart and was still affirming himself.

"..."

"..."

"What on earth are you thinking about?" Yakumo Zi's eyes twitched, and her gaze became even more disgusting, "I always feel that it's too cheerful, a little disgusting... Wait, didn't you suddenly realize that there are only two of us here? I’m an individual, so you want to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, right?”

She pretended to be scared and took two steps back.

"No way! Zi, don't talk nonsense! I'm not that kind of person!" Xia Ran quickly reacted and returned to reality. Xia Ran shook his head decisively and replied, with a tone of categorical denial. He could not tolerate such slander. You can pretend you didn't hear it.

only……

"You guy... you actually said it so simply!"

Although Xia Ran was very confident and answered almost instantly, saying that he had absolutely no such idea, the monster sage narrowed his eyes with a dangerous light shining in his eyes.

"..."

"..."

"Stop making trouble, Zi, let's get down to business..." Xia Ran showed a helpless expression to Yakumo Zi, and abruptly changed the subject, "As you can see, this is what I gained this time, everything is it's here……"

It's not good, the topic has become a little bit dangerous.

Just pretend you didn't hear it.

The monster sage pouted and clicked his tongue dissatisfiedly, but she didn't care. She knew that this man was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but this was his character... Anyway, a monk who could run away could not run away from the temple, so she was not in a hurry. That’s it.

And she was not dissatisfied with the current situation. Although this person had undergone some kind of improvement again, it just made her feel a little strange.

However, the strangeness quickly dissipated after that and disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, because the other party still had the same attitude as before, telling her all about this experience, and in front of her When you are curious, take the initiative to bring her here.

There is no estrangement or alienation, we are as close as ever...

As her thoughts turned, Yakumo Murasaki also restrained her thoughts. This guy just changed the subject. Anyway, he wouldn't do anything that he really couldn't accept, or at most he would just let his imagination run wild. It's just another change in the village.

However, those guys who are causing trouble all day long have so much energy that they have nowhere to vent, so the changes are guaranteed to be once a month, so there is nothing wrong with them at all.

With this thought, Yakumo Purple stopped worrying. She turned her eyes to look at the vast chaos and boundless void in front of her, and began to think seriously.

This is within Xia Ran's own body, a vast universe-like dimensional time and space, an inward creation of an independent and alien world, and a creative land that creates all things.

As he once said, he himself is a walking "singularity", and his ontology is an independent space-time system. He is creating inwardly and creating all things at all times, which is the inner side of reality relative to the outside world. In other words, it is a "foreign world" with completely different rules.

The huge existing phenomena within him have been expanding rapidly during this period of time, and the scale has expanded to an unimaginable level amid the endless proliferation of matter and energy.

——It really has the prototype and artistic conception of Three Thousand Worlds...

Although most of them are subspaces or demiplanes like space-time fragments, the smallest ones are not much larger than the diameter of the Vatican City, and most of the largest ones are only the area of ​​a continent. Only the two centermost gravity fields have the scale of the solar system. This is the truly stable "world"...

It is the Lost Belt cutting scene taken from the Fgo world line.

And things that are cut from the Fate/Stay Night world line.

The re-opened "world" is extremely stable. At least the people on the two earths, or other creatures, have not noticed the fact that the stars have been moved away without knowing it...

Because the power to do all this seems too transcendent, it is already a mystery of one dimension, that is, crushing.

It's like an administrator outside the computer cuts an ordinary folder on the computer and pastes it into another hard disk partition. The data intelligence in the folder has no say in this matter. Right.

However, the addition of two "worlds" also decorates the appearance of Xia Ran's inner universe very well. After all, although the road of inward creation has just started, everything is still in its prototype. This is indeed normal, but if it is a complete inner universe If there was no such thing in the world, he would feel a little helpless...

Just like now, at least when he brought Zi in to take a look, he felt somewhat confident.

Outside the two relatively complete mirror "worlds" surrounding the earth, endless storms of chaos are raging, blowing all the time in the shrouded void, and there are thousands of time and space fragments or demiplanes——

Such a scene seemed very spectacular, with the feeling and meaning of stars overlapping the moon. The monsters and sages also fell into deep thought, because the grand blueprint revealed in front of them, even if it was just starting, was just a prototype, it was enough. Shocked.

Is there a universe within? Internal diversity?

If it can really transform into the vast world and promote its own existence to a real world, then it will definitely be the end of its existence.

Although he didn’t know whether the person in front of him could reach that point, Yakumo Murasaki felt that this was very possible. Perhaps compared to his own concept of time, the arrival of that day would not be too big. distant.

——Because just like the other person shared his past thousands... ahem, seventeen years of life, the monster girl also shared the other person's memories.

She knew very well that no matter how long Xia Ran spent in other universes or other timelines, how much progress she had made or how much changes had occurred, in reality it was often just one night.

That’s why I say that the arrival of that day really won’t be too far away.

Pressing down some thoughts, Yakumo Murasaki carefully observed the grand blueprint in front of her. With the perspective and authority shared by someone, she focused on the two gravity "worlds" with the Earth's mirror image as the center and reaching the scale of the solar system. After the show, he shifted his attention.

She quickly inspected each subspace and demiplane, and found that they were indeed evolving towards the "plane world", growing all the time. Although the speed was not fast, the changes were still perceptible.

It seems that in the vast storm of chaos and the tide of destruction in the void, there is some kind of continuous "source" that is supplying nutrients, promoting the growth of each small world, and slowly expanding these planes and spaces.

Storms and tides seem to be simulating the void and chaotic environment outside the real world. Sweeping erosion and raging erosion, although they bring huge pressure to each time and space, they are also testing them and giving them more strength. Growth motivation.

Just like towering trees cannot grow in a greenhouse, they can only thrive if they withstand wind and rain.

The thoughtful monster sage continued to observe the small worlds one by one, and found that some seemed independent and closed, without any intersection with other time and space;

There are also several times and spaces that are spliced ​​together by the power of creation, magnificent and vast, and the entire world is composed of different exotic physics;

The only thing that can be said to be similar is that they all have their own different scenery, showing a prosperous scene. Each small world interprets a variety of prosperity and glorious history——

Just because in this independent time and space system, before the time scale of infinite time ago, the seeds sown by the "Creator" had already taken root and sprouted.

"Life and soul...have you touched this field?"

Yakumo Purple's face couldn't help showing a look of shock, and she couldn't help but ask. She noticed that every "plane world" seemed to have given birth to a process of life.

She didn't notice it at first, but later she realized that Xia Ran seemed to have taken a chance.

Because the area of ​​many subspaces and demiplanes is not large, far less than the scale of the real world. If we use the existing size and quality of humans or other animals in the earth's ecosystem as a reference, then it is impossible to establish a normal of ecology.

Therefore, Yakumo Murasaki subconsciously ignored these small worlds and just glanced at them from afar, thinking that maybe those worlds were still very primitive and desolate, and even if there were slight fluctuations of vitality, they were very weak.

Maybe it was just like some moss growing on a wetland, giving it some green life - that's what she originally thought.

But after further inspection, I discovered that these relatively small demi-planes were treated by Xia Ran as miniature sandboxes. Although it was impossible to support the size of normal organisms in the real world, if measured according to the proportions, Zoom out...

So compared to the creatures that thrive in them, these demiplanes are also a huge "world" that is so magnificent that they will not be able to fully explore it even if they spend their entire lives.

So the green that she thought was moss at first was actually thousands of majestic forests covering the land. There were also long winding rivers on the land, snow-capped mountains and rivers, sun-baked deserts... and so on. wait.

In these vast plane worlds, there are also various races and civilizations.

There are ordinary, unremarkable worlds, with only primitive barbarian tribes chasing prey such as mammoths on the ground; or there are simply some worlds where there are no intelligent creatures at all, and it is not giant creatures like dinosaurs that dominate the world. It was the ape that had just started to walk upright and had clumsy movements that was rising.

There is also a world full of miracles and magic, an era of swords and magic——

Some planes are like the background of classic Western fantasy, with elves, dragons, giants and other brilliant races emerging in endlessly. Many kingdoms, hundreds of city-states, countless tribes and villages scattered all over the place, all dotted with magic. The continent has written a chapter of the Golden Age.

There are also some worlds where past legends and myths have faded. After thousands of years, the elven cities have been reduced to ruins. The mountains that were once home to giants and hunting grounds for dragons are no longer a restricted area for life. The new overlord’s The territory continues to expand.

Deadly magic and terrifying monsters have been reduced to legends of the past. The existence of humanoid creatures, undead, gods, etc., once filled every corner of the world, has become secretive and rare, and can even be found across the entire continent. Less than a few...

Eventually it became a strange superstition in a remote place, and a mysterious and fascinating story.

In addition, there are many, many, many races, which are evolving crazily in different worlds. Civilizations have grown with the world over the years. This vigorous and prosperous atmosphere makes the Creator who is currently in the void The monster girl couldn't help but be shocked.

Those two relatively complete earth mirror "worlds" are easy to understand, but these should not be the planes that Xia Ran moved to from somewhere, right?

In other words, the rise and fall of species, the evolution of civilization, and the changes in history, everything was created by him from scratch... So, can he really create life and give his creation a soul?

"Use alchemical life to design their templates, just like Irisviel can give birth to Illya. As long as the previous generation can rely on its own genetic information to spontaneously give birth to the next generation, then the reproduction of life will not be too big. question."

Xia Ran nodded lightly and did not deny it.

"As for creating souls, it can only be said that the size of these beings has been reduced countless times. As long as I give out a trace of soul energy, I can give spirituality to the lives of an entire plane world, so it is not a problem. The losses are not as good as what I can replenish. quick……"

"In other words, it still hasn't reached the level of soul creation?" Yakumo Purple breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confirmation.

"No, that is indeed the realm of gods..." Xia Ran spread his hands, "But this situation is very consistent with the situation in our world."

"...The origin?" The realm monster thought for a moment and understood what he meant.

"That's right." Xia Ran continued to nod, with a strange look in his eyes, "Everything in the world, everything flows out from the original source. This is true for you and me. We are all part of the differentiation flowing out from the source... …”

"That's why some people think that as long as they can reach the source, they can have the power of "god"..."

Having said this, he turned around and opened his hands to the blond monster girl——

"As far as the laws and world within me are concerned, don't you think this is what it is?"

In terms of mysticism, there is a "force" standing at the apex of dimensional theory outside this world. It is both the beginning and the end of everything. It records everything in this world and is the coordinate of the beginning of everything.

——Xia Ran is indeed the source of the events unfolding within himself, and all laws and worlds flow from his origin.

As long as you can reach the source, you can have the power of "God"...

——If any life can really return to its original point, it is equivalent to returning to Xia Ran's existence... Then in the entire world inside this, isn't it a "god"-like existence?

"And there is another point, that is, because everything is ready there, there is nothing. If human beings are allowed to step in, the meaning of existence will disappear..."

Saying this in a weird tone, Xia Ran twitched the corner of his mouth: "Isn't it just that the trace of soul projected out from my origin can only be re-assimilated by me when it returns to myself? So the meaning of survival will be disappear……"

"..."

"..."

"You mean..." Yakumo Zi was a little surprised and hesitated to speak.

"I didn't say anything. At least for now, the root itself should have no intelligence and no driving force..." He shook his head, but his expression was still strange.

Is it "in the beginning was the Tao" or "the Tao became flesh"?

He probably understood the concept of a so-called narrator, but he could not imagine how these extremely noble existences appeared. It is said that such existences are absolute, but they are not unique in the face of the same existence.

Is there more than one source, and they themselves are manifestations of Tao?

Or was it really using some method that in the infinite world in the past, different seekers successively took hold of the authority of the root?

Xia Ran vaguely felt that it should be the latter... But, how could there be a chance to do this? It's like a trace of his separated soul, after returning to itself, not only is it not assimilated by him, but it in turn assimilates him?

This is obviously absolutely impossible. No matter how weak he is, even if he is about to die completely, as the origin of all things unfolding within himself, the laws and world flowing out of him are nothing but illusions to him. .

This is the inevitable reason why the living cannot reach the first cause...

Well, unless it's like Mephala, who is stronger than him and has another origin. If something goes wrong, one might be resurrected inside him and become a new "god" to replace him.
