Chapter 683 5 Anchor Points
Chapter 683 5 Anchor Points
"This is... Grammer, the Sky Empire."
Looking at the extremely prosperous Grammer civilization in the star field of the Sky Empire, Mingji frowned slightly, "As the earliest time node, you will shape life here?"
Aini's face was extremely pale, but she still held the transparent crystal tightly in her palm. "If you want to reshape Anming, you need to use the timeline of the entire universe as a breeding process."
Choose the most special timeline, and select a certain point in time as the anchor point for soul reshaping. The first thing that needs to be reshaped is life.
In order for a person to survive, the first thing he needs to shape is existence itself, that is, life.
Without life, there would be no carrier even if there was only a soul. Aini chose to reshape An Ming's life in the Grammer Empire. To do this, she would need to consume one fifth of the entire soul fragments, thus giving birth to An Ming's original life.
"According to the memory bank, the Grammer Empire will encounter a catastrophe caused by [breeding] in the near future, but it will eventually survive thanks to the technology of the Grammer Iron Cavalry."
"The flapping of a butterfly's wings can overturn the survival of the world. You will create people who do not exist in history out of thin air, which will lead to unpredictable consequences."
Mingji was just watching everything in front of him as a bystander. Gramer, the Sky Empire, was indeed one of the most prosperous star fields in the early stage of the timeline, and it was indeed suitable as the anchor point chosen by Annie.
"Grammer's existence is an anchor figure whose fate cannot be changed..." Aini's eyes flashed with determination, "Only in this way can An Ming's existence be hidden."
Just as Mingji said, fabricating a "variable" that has never been recorded in history will attract the attention of the universe. To describe it in more understandable words is -
fate.
Destiny is the universe's way of intervening to maintain future stability, anchoring civilizations and planets on established routes and never allowing any variables to appear that would cause major changes in the future.
And An Ming is undoubtedly the most dangerous "variable".
However, there are also many "anchor figures" in the universe itself who change the future. Since their birth, those people are destined to lead the future of the universe to a certain outcome, and they themselves are closely related to the future of the universe.
"You mean... [Protagonist]?"
Mingji quickly understood the meaning of Aini's words. Those who are born to guide the future of the universe are part of destiny themselves.
It is equivalent to a passive intervention method for the universe to change the development of the universe.
For example, an individual who is destined to overthrow a dynasty from birth, his very existence will turn the future of his civilization towards division or rebirth.
Then quietly adding a non-existent [supporting role] to the "center of the vortex" that is destined to change the future of the universe is like hiding a drop of water in a huge wave.
Fate will ignore this tiny anomaly because of the drastic changes that already exist, and the world itself is about to change, no matter how the process changes, the result will not change.
"A-07."
"..." After reading out the name of the "protagonist" in Grammer, Annie's voice was a little silent. In her opinion, perhaps the girl was essentially no different from her.
They are just poor people without names.
"Just by setting up an anchor point, can his life be shaped?" Mingji naturally found that Annie's plan was too idealistic, and all the efforts would be wasted if there was even the slightest accident during the process.
"So, I will also leave behind a trace of the authority of the Seed of Remembrance."
Aini looked at Mingji and said sincerely, "Just a ray of it will not affect the authority itself, but it can also make you understand what love is."
"...Just a ray of light, still can't cover up fate."
"no need to worry."
Annie seemed to have thought of everything already. "As long as we let An Ming die again at the moment of reconstruction, he will be nothing more than a piece of invalid data that has been completely erased to the universe."
Naturally, fate will never again cast its gaze on the traces of the dead person's existence, but the reconstruction of An Ming's life has been completed and preserved in the seed of remembrance.
"Arranging the process of [An Ming's life remodeling] next to the [protagonist] can indeed deceive the attention of fate, but... it will also inevitably tie An Ming's fate tightly to the fate of the protagonist."
Mingji looked at Aini. He didn’t believe that Aini hadn’t thought of this.
"Aren't you afraid that when An Ming's soul is reshaped to the final stage, he will no longer love you, but will have someone else in his heart?"
"That heart that once burned for you, may now be beating for someone else?"
"...Fear."
Aini pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm so scared, but...even so, I want to see him again."
There was no need for him to look back, no need for him to remember, and even no need for his love to stay for her again.
As long as she can see An Ming again and let An Ming have the future he deserves.
That's enough.
An Ming was originally the protagonist of the universe. This traveler who came from another world should have personally started a new story that subverted the stars and written the magnificent epic chapter... instead of turning into stardust and disappearing after igniting the first ray of dawn in Tethys.
Let An Ming continue to live, even if she is no longer in that story.
"You..." Mingji suddenly felt an inexplicable blockage in his chest, painful and oppressive, "Is it worth it?"
"Xiao Ming, even if this question needs to be answered, it should be An Ming who should answer it."
The faint smile on Annie's lips was like a rainbow after the rain, clear and with a hint of sadness: "Xiao Ming, this question should be left to An Ming to answer."
She looked into the invisible distance in the void, as if asking the disappeared figure: Is it worth it? For someone like her, burning her future that should be infinite like dawn... is it really worth it?
But if it were An Ming, he would definitely answer that there are always some things that are more important than others. There is no question of whether saving is worth it or not, only whether to do it or not.
This time, the silence lasted even longer. He began to understand why Annie did this. If someone was willing to give up his entire future for him, it would be hard not to be moved.
The light of the seed of remembrance in Annie's palm flowed again, and the scene changed accordingly - it was a neon-beautiful cyber city, replacing the picture of Grammer, and the long river of time was already rushing through a more turbulent basin here.
"Edo Star... In the future, it will develop into a relatively prosperous high-tech interstellar city, but that's all."
Remember that the future at this point in time is accurately described.
"Well, this place will give birth to a Joy Envoy in the future. As the 'protagonist', it can also shield the attention of fate," Aini quickly selected the anchor point.
The anchor point of Edo Star is called [Hanabi].
Aini invested another fifth of her soul fragments to nurture human will for Anming on Edo Star.
The will that never gives up even in the face of gods, that shining will that belongs only to humans.
"This soul fragment can be used at most three times... five anchor points. From the logic of probability, the risk is extremely high," Mingji believes that Annie is taking a gamble and there is a high probability that she will fail.
"enough."
Annie looked calm. After integrating a ray of remembered authority into it again, she continued to move forward along the timeline, and the scenery in front of her changed again.
What was reflected in front of the two of them transformed into the two stars accompanying each other.
"Izumo and Takamagahara, planets destined to be swallowed up by the shadow of nothingness." From the perspective of concealing fate, Izumo is indeed the best time node.
At the end of Izumo, this planet will be completely swallowed up by nothingness, and naturally there will be no chance of being discovered by fate.
"Mei, the guardian of the thunder and lightning forgetfulness," Annie calmly read out the name of the protagonist of the existence of Izumo Star. One day in the future, she will become the commander of nothingness and slash the strongest forgetfulness sword at Da Ri.
It is naturally extremely suitable to be one of the anchor points for reshaping An Ming. Of course, there is also a little selfishness of Annie involved.
A man strong enough to become the Emissary of the Void Order, even if he is destined to be entangled with An Ming in fate, I believe that entanglement may not necessarily be love.
There are not many envoys in the universe, so Annie naturally doesn't believe that those powerful people who will change the future of the universe will fall in love with her An Ming. That is a low-probability event.
What's more, there is a trace of power of memory left by her, so no matter how you think about it, it is foolproof and the unexpected situations mentioned by the memory will definitely not happen.
Grammer's A-07 is an emotionless Molten Iron Knight, while Edo Star's Hanabi is a pleasure-seeking Envoy, not to mention Kumo's Mei.
These three don't look like the type who can fall in love, so there's no chance of them falling in love with An Ming in the future.
Mingji could naturally understand Annie's little expression, and he muttered to himself, "Didn't you also not understand love at the beginning? How can you be so sure that those people will not understand love later?"
Of course Annie knew it, but even so, she wanted to resurrect An Ming.
The scene soon changed again, and what appeared before their eyes was the Immortal Boat Cangcheng.
"The Immortal Boat Cang City will be completely destroyed in the near future due to the sudden attack of the World Devouring Rahu," Mingji said after a moment of silence, "Is this also the node that meets your expectations?"
"The anchor point of the Immortal Boat Cangcheng is... Jingliu."
Aini frowned slightly and murmured, "But it's not the best way to shape memory."
The future Luofu Xianzhou Sword Master and also General Luofu's master, Jingliu is indeed very strong, but it is not the best choice for shaping memories.
"How is she...?"
After seeing the three anchor points planted by Annie, emotions that even Mingji could not understand surged from the depths of his mind. Since it had come to this point, and it was still within the scope of the rules.
If you have to say it, it's just a loophole in the rules, which is not completely irreparable.
As the words of Remember were spoken, the image projected by the Seed of Remember also changed to the Immortal Boat Jade Palace, and the image focused on a pink-haired girl.
"Fu...Xuan."
Aini whispered the man's name, "The future Luofu Taibu, but still a long way from being the protagonist, and ultimately unable to become an envoy."
"But she's the perfect one, isn't she?"
“…”
After thinking for a long time, Annie nodded slightly and chose Fu Xuan as the anchor point. As a reconstruction of memory, perhaps Fu Xuan was indeed a more suitable anchor point.
At this moment, the soul fragment belonging to An Ming has become extremely dim and can only support the last anchor point.
The last image projected by the Seed of Rememberance was a girl from the Sky Ring tribe who was born on Custer. But in the future, that girl will grow up to be the most famous singer in the history of the universe, Robin.
"This is the closest moment to the final time node."
Annie meant something. If the entire timeline of the universe is spread out, different periods can be clearly observed. Generally speaking, the early stage of the long river is generally smooth and stable. Although there are short waves in the middle stage, they are only a few wisps.
After a certain point in time, the long river of time will enter its later stage. That period will be an era of stars in the sky, and both strong people and opportunities will appear like a blowout.
Perhaps a more appropriate word to describe it is "pioneering era".
"Is this really good?"
"Xiao Ming, I understand what you mean," Annie lowered her eyebrows slightly, "This is not fair to those who serve as cover anchors, but to them, An Ming is just an insignificant passer-by in their lives."
"After the shaping is completed, Anming will disappear and will not have any effect on them. It's like... a 'simulation'."
A person who does not really exist in the universe, a simulated story as short as duckweed, everything will end after An Ming's death, they will continue their lives, and An Ming will complete the creation.
"Simulation..."
Mingji raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips. Annie's explanation did make sense, but he still couldn't help but want to complain... At this point, even he understood the meaning of complaining.
“Why are all anchors women?”
"If you ask me, I don't know either."
Annie's expression was a little subtle, but the actual truth was very simple. If she had to choose a "protagonist" whose fate was entangled with An Ming's, she would rather find herself a few more rivals in love than look back and see that An Ming's sexual orientation had changed to a man.
The entanglement of fate is so powerful that it will inevitably lead to some close intersections between the two parties, but fortunately, as long as An Ming completes the shaping, he can exit in the name of death without leaving any problems.
To use what An Ming once told her, this way of exiting is generally called death escape.
As long as you exit in time, you will not trigger new branches within the normal timeline, which is indeed the case under normal circumstances.
The soul fragment in Annie's palm turned into a wisp of burning spark and dissipated. With the help of the power of remembering, this was all she could do. She used the entire time river of the universe as a process to reshape An Ming and resurrect him again in the end.
"Finally...what are you going to do?"
"The Seed of Memory will serve as the basis for supporting the operation of the 'simulation', and you, Xiao Ming," Annie looked deeply at the Seed of Memory, knowing that this was the only way to tie Him onto the ship.
“Just become the system.”
