Chapter 385 Another possibility of history
"Another world line?"
"The destroyed world of the Seven Seas?"
Hear these words.
Even Xia En, who thought he was mentally prepared, was still stunned.
"What does this mean?"
Laila didn't seem to know where to explain it better, so she asked.
"First of all, Captain Shane, do you know what the world line means?"
Shane nodded.
There is such a concept in various science fiction works that I came into contact with in my previous life.
Different world lines often refer to...
The result of a certain major event in history led to a different ending in the world.
Give an example.
Suppose Shane refused Joey's request to get on the boat when he first went to sea.
Then there will be a world line in which Shane does not know Joey.
After that, there won't be any intersection in his and Joey's lives.
certainly.
Such small personal matters often do not affect the situation of the entire world.
But if there are deviations in those crucial events, the situation will be very different.
For example...
King Xin failed to prevent the great flood from coming to the world line!
Seeing that Xia En understood what she meant, Laila spoke.
"Captain Shane, have you ever thought about..."
"In another possibility of history, King Xin not only failed to prevent the coming of the world-destroying flood, he also failed to reduce its power."
"As a result, the world-destroying flood washed away the [Seven Seas World] without reservation."
"The sea level of the entire world has reached an incredible height."
Laila said with a serious expression, as if she had witnessed such a scene with her own eyes.
"In that world, even the number of islands is very few, and it can be called a real 'blue water world'."
"This also means the complete demise of human civilization."
"Even if there are still some survivors in that world."
"But because the number is too rare and is gradually declining, it can no longer be regarded as a complete civilization."
"This is what I mean by the destroyed [Seven Seas World]."
Hearing these words, Xia En couldn't help but hold his breath.
Have to admit.
The other possibility Lila spoke of did exist.
After all, in Shane's opinion.
King Xin sealed the great flood, which was an incredible feat.
At this stage, if any problem occurs, it may lead to the collapse of the plan.
Just quickly.
Another question popped up in Shane's mind.
If the [Eternal Coffin] is a relic from another world line.
Then how did Laila know about the existence of another world line and obtain this [Eternal Coffin]?
Shane simply asked Laila this question directly.
Leila explained.
"Actually, I don't know the specific reason."
"But when I was promoted to Legend, I vaguely felt that there was something calling me in the [Secret Sea]."
"So, after performing a complex and precise ritual."
"I successfully summoned that thing. This is the origin of this [Eternal Coffin]."
"The moment I touched this coffin, the corresponding information automatically appeared in my mind."
"This is how I learned about the existence of another world line."
"As for why this [Eternal Coffin] is calling me..."
"Think about it, maybe it has something to do with me in that world line?"
"That's it."
Shane was thoughtful.
Although Laila's words still sound a bit fanciful, most people may not believe it at all.
But Xia En believed that what he said was the truth.
If another world line really exists.
Then, Laila in that world will definitely try her best to prevent disaster before the [Seven Seas World] is destroyed.
And this [Eternal Coffin] is most likely her last legacy.
Thinking of this, Xia En couldn't help but ask.
"Laila, have you ever heard of the name Vivian?"
Laila's expression was a little strange and she said doubtfully.
"Vivian... isn't this our family's last name?"
"You mean, someone used it as a name?"
"If that's the case, then it's probably just a code name or a pseudonym, right?"
Xia En frowned slightly and asked again.
"So, where is Nirvana?"
Laila looked equally confused.
"Nirvana, what is that?"
"It sounds like he is a powerful character."
After receiving such an answer, Xia En could not help but frown deeper.
He originally thought that he could learn the origin of Vivian from Laila.
But now it seems that even Laila doesn’t know Vivian’s true identity?
Seeing the change in Xia En's expression, Laila thought about it and said.
"Right now, I don't know who the Vivian you are talking about is."
"But if it's another me created by [Great Yan], maybe it can give you the answer you want, right?"
Hearing this, Xia En opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise.
"Do you even know about the existence of [Great Flame]?"
No wonder Xia En was so surprised.
It can be said.
The Laila in front of me and the other people in this memory scene are equivalent to the NPCs created by [Great Flame].
In theory, it will only act according to certain patterns and memories.
The previous King Xin only vaguely noticed the abnormality in the space he was in, which already surprised Xia En.
At this time, Laila was even aware of the existence of [Great Flame].
This is equivalent to a preset game where a character suddenly breaks the dimensional wall and speaks the name of the game maker.
How does this not shock Shane?
Laila smiled slightly and explained.
"In fact, the fact that I know this is also related to the [Eternal Coffin]."
"This relic has some characteristics that transcend time and space."
"This also allows it to become an [anchor] for memory."
"The other me created by [Great Flame] left this information in the [Eternal Coffin], allowing me to know their existence and the truth of this space."
"Other you?"
Xia En subconsciously repeated this sentence and quickly woke up.
Yes.
Since Laila once appeared in [Great Yan Country].
Then, it is very likely that she will appear in other memory scenes.
Moreover, because different memory scenes occur at different times.
Each Leila has different memories.
Perhaps Laila who is further back in time will know Vivian's true identity.
To be honest, Shane still had many questions in his mind.
But the situation at this time obviously did not allow him to ask all the questions.
suddenly.
boom! ! !
A dull loud noise suddenly came from above everyone's heads.
Immediately afterwards, the ground under people's feet and the surrounding walls began to shake.
It was like causing a terrible earthquake.
"This is?"
Xia En's expression immediately became very solemn.
He could feel that this kind of vibration seemed familiar.
This is not only a shock to this underground research, but also an irreversible collapse of this entire memory space.
But the problem is. They clearly haven't destroyed the nodes in this scene yet?
Laila saw Shane's confusion and explained.
"I'm afraid this is because the invasion of those members of the [Truth Society] attracted the attention of [Da Yan]."
"Not only that, the confrontation between strange legendary forces will also attract his attention."
When Xia En heard this, he immediately understood.
The [Butterfly Dream] technology used by the [Truth Society] is certainly extraordinary.
But obviously there are no limitations.
Simply put.
[Great Flame] is not really unable to detect their arrival, it just requires a certain amount of reaction time.
On the other hand.
What Moritz said before about [Great Flame]'s restrictions on legends was also reflected at this time.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
It can allow existences below level six to enter.
But he is wary of the legendary powerhouse.
This is probably because the legendary Mystic Path may already pose a threat to Him.
Think about it carefully.
The reason why the condition of Augustine B5 appears to be abnormal.
It seems that it was precisely because she was forcibly promoted to the legendary realm after entering [Great Flame].
Rather than arriving directly in the realm of legend.
But even so, his battle with Laila still aroused [Da Yan]'s vigilance.
Coupled with the existence of members of the [Truth Society], this memory scene collapsed at this time
At this time, Jane took a step forward.
She first glanced at Laila, who was in front of her with a beautiful appearance and was obviously an elf. Then she looked at Xia En and said seriously.
"Captain Shane, it's time to eliminate the nodes in this scene."
Shane fell into a brief silence.
He naturally understood what Jane meant.
The moment Laila appeared, the [Fire] in his arms immediately changed significantly.
The hot temperature continued to accumulate in the wooden box, as if it was going to burn Xia En's skin.
With the experience of facing the salary king before.
Xiao En still didn't know that Laila in front of him was the key node of this memory scene.
only.
Xia En also wanted to ask her more questions and spend more time with her.
That's why he didn't express his intention in the first place.
But for now.
Jane took the initiative to say this out, undoubtedly hoping that he could make a decision as soon as possible.
Don't waste precious time and put them in danger.
Shane saw Jane's intention.
He also understood that this was not the time to reminisce about the past.
Eliminating the nodes in front of you as soon as possible is the wisest choice.
Reasonable to reason.
When I thought about how hard it was for me to finally see Laila again, I had to say goodbye right away.
This feeling is really melancholy.
At this time, Laila took the initiative to speak.
"You are here just to destroy the undead [Great Flame], right?"
"Xia En, don't hesitate anymore."
"Besides, didn't I promise you?"
"I will definitely meet you again in the future, and it will never be in the form of this old phantom, but in real, real life."
"So, don't worry or be sad, please continue to move forward and complete your mission."
With that said, Laila gently pushed the [Eternal Coffin] forward.
"Although this [Eternal Coffin] is just a fake created by [Great Flame]."
"But there is also my mark on it."
"Perhaps, you can use this as an [anchor] to find me in other memory scenes."
"There's only so much I can do."
Looking at Laila's calm and gentle expression.
Xia En sighed softly in his heart, but he also suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart. Without hesitation, he took out the [Fire] directly from his arms.
Push forward slightly.
In the light of [fire].
Laila's body gradually faded, as if it was constantly melting and fading, taking on a translucent texture.
She waved gently towards Xia En and whispered softly.
"We...see you in the future."
After a while.
Laila's figure disappeared, and Shane's heart felt empty.
Even though he knew that the Laila in front of him was not her real body.
But seeing Laila disappear with his own eyes also made him feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Xia En turned around and looked at An Bing not far away, a look of sympathy flashed in his eyes.
Maybe not too long ago.
Did An Bing have a similar mood when he saw King Xin disappear?
But now is obviously not the time to be sentimental.
Because, with Laila's disappearance.
This scene has lost its supporting nodes.
The vibrations that had occurred before became more intense.
Cracks began to appear from the dome of the hall.
Small rocks kept falling from above.
Xia En suddenly showed a solemn expression.
Obviously, this underground research institute is already in danger and is on the verge of collapse at any time.
It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to escape from the institute under such circumstances.
Just now.
But Xia En suddenly remembered what Laila said before she disappeared.
"[Eternal Coffin]...[Anchor Point]..."
Xia An opened his eyes wide, suddenly realized something, and said to everyone.
"Come here and stay with me."
Jane was also aware of it and looked at the [Eternal Coffin] with a gap open in front of her.
Wait until An Bing comes to his side.
Xia En stretched out his hand and gently opened the lid of the [Eternal Coffin].
The next moment.
An irresistible attraction came from it.
Suction Xia En and others into the coffin.
Wait until you open your eyes again.
The world around him has completely changed.
After the short-term dizziness subsides.
Shane opened his eyes and began to look around.
I saw that the nearby scene was no longer a cold underground hall.
Rather, it is a town above the surface.
It can be seen that the state of the town is quite primitive and crude.
Under the gray sky, there are stone roads laid out randomly.
On both sides of the road, houses made of piled stones stand staggered.
With only hay as filler in the gaps, it looked extremely shabby.
There were very few people on the streets.
At this time, two residents happened to be walking towards me.
The two men were sallow and thin, wearing tattered animal skin clothes, and their faces were red from the cold.
It seems that he noticed the arrival of "Xia En".
The two people's faces suddenly showed alert and strange expressions.
"Who are you?"
"What's that on your back?"
……Um?
Shane was stunned for a moment.
He shouldn't be carrying anything behind him.
After thinking about it carefully, Xia En suddenly realized that the situation was abnormal.
