Chapter 767 Timeline to Tomorrow
Remember, it is just a law that has existed since the birth of the universe.
However, Annie is the "heart" born from the simulation behind the five anchor points. When she, as a law, possesses a mind and emotions, she realizes for the first time that this pure white room that carries all the memories of the universe is essentially an extremely delicate cage.
Remembering is imprisoned by memory, what an ironic fate! Xing's original idea was not wrong. This extremely pure world is indeed a restriction imposed on Remembering by the universe.
The law of memory is really powerful, so powerful that even the universe itself has to add a restriction to it, that is, the shackles of memory.
Assuming that memory can remain as an absolutely neutral bystander in countless identical cycles as it was originally designed, then perhaps nothing will change and everything will continue to run along the established trajectory.
To be precise, a "remembering with the soul" itself is a false proposition that should not exist, a fatal anomaly that exists in the universe.
Whether it is the "World Tree" or the "Cocoon", there was no so-called "mind" or "will" at the beginning of its birth. They are just the rules themselves, a procedure or logic for the operation of the universe.
The memory of power, which is most prone to change, was set with flaws by the will of the universe before it was born.
This flaw is a limitation engraved into the core of the law, and is also the ultimate means to prevent it from being out of control.
In this endless cycle of reincarnation, only remembering can preserve the memories of each reincarnation, like an eternal observer watching again and again in this monotonous memory room.
It can be said that there is no upper limit to the potential that Memory possesses. As long as there is enough time, it will have unlimited power and can even touch all the mysteries of the universe.
If remembrance is still just that cold law, then Xing who comes here will only face an absolutely rational mechanical process, and definitely not the girl in front of him who has a soul and calls herself "Aini".
"You can understand it as, among countless reincarnations, the greatest variable was born."
Annie's words were profound: "It was that variable that triggered a series of subsequent chain reactions that didn't exist in the original timeline, leading to the 'present' where you and I meet."
"I understand."
Xing finally understood that the source of all evil was Lao Ming. On a dark and windy night, he was lying comfortably in bed and sleeping soundly, and he had a little dream that seemed insignificant at the time.
A man who dreams is really handsome.jpg (not)
Xing thought that she was quite good at daydreaming, so how come in the end all she dreamed about was the freedom of trash cans and blind boxes?
Wait a minute, she finally came to her senses. It turned out that the reason for her failure in the previous reincarnation was because An Ming did not show up. She was alone and was always beaten to a pulp by the End.
The most difficult thing is that the duel between Xing and the End is not a conventional three-game two-win or even five-game three-win match, but a complete N-game loss.
At this moment, Xing finally deeply felt the despair that was enough to crush everything. I believe that the completely collapsed Xing seen on TV before also chose to give up because he saw this clearly.
No matter how many times you try to resist the end and no matter what the cost, you are doomed to fail in the end. Whether you choose to burn everything you have or cowardly give up struggling, the final outcome will be the same.
It was pure despair without a single ray of light, and the last starlight was completely swallowed up by despair. What awaited this universe was only another identical end.
Any form of resistance is ultimately a futile struggle. After going through this cycle countless times, anyone would completely collapse.
What's more, this is a star that has come here after going through countless difficulties without any peace of mind. Perhaps in some reincarnations, the price of coming here is all the companions on the Starry Sky Train.
The star that carried the final will of the nameless guest ultimately faced such a desperate ending.
Xing felt somewhat relieved. Every "she" who made different choices in the past reincarnations, no matter whether the final choice was to fight to the last moment, fall into madness, or remain silent...but at that moment, that must have been the most regretless choice they could make based on all their experiences.
And now.
It was her turn to make that choice.
After knowing all the destined endings and seeing countless "selves" eventually reach desperate ends.
Should I choose to continue moving forward and step into the torrent of fate where there is no chance of winning, or should I stop here and stay in this pure white memory, waiting for the reincarnation to reset again?
No matter what the choice is, it is a choice that only Xing can make.
As the "limit breaker" before An Ming, in these countless long journeys, countless "stars" have stood here, standing in front of Mingji to make this final choice.
Xing looked at the TV screen beside him, which was still playing new content. After a star failed, the next star in reincarnation would still stand here.
No matter what choice you make, there will always be a star standing here.
This scene is so familiar, just like no matter how many times it is repeated, the Starry Sky Train will always choose to adjust its course without hesitation and head towards the end that determines the fate of the universe.
There are always some things that are more important than life itself.
There are always some beliefs that cannot be extinguished by reincarnation. That flame will become stronger through countless repetitions and failures, like a flame in the dark night, passed on again and again.
In a trance, Xing seemed to see an endless darkness, and someone was carefully holding a cluster of weak fire, groping forward with difficulty in the darkness.
The figure stumbled, but always used his body to protect the last bit of light until he reached the end of his ability, and then solemnly and hopefully handed it over to the next waiting figure.
And now, the fire has passed into her hands.
Xing raised her head, her gaze seemed to penetrate all the past timelines. What she saw was no longer just the cold image on the screen, but countless "selves" who had stood here.
Each of them holds a glimmer of light in their hands and is covered with scars, but deep in their eyes, without exception, the same unyielding fire burns.
Xing walked towards the figure closest to him and met those eyes that looked no different from his own, but were filled with fatigue.
"do not give up."
The stars whispered softly to themselves, and also to all the selves who had never given up hope in countless timelines, telling them that this time... they would not fail!
In the seemingly identical and doomed cycle of failure again and again, not all efforts are in vain.
There are always some small things changing quietly, and there are always some seemingly identical choices that will lead to completely different forks because of a belief that has never existed before.
There will always be a timeline whose final dawn will give meaning to the sacrifices made in all previous reincarnations!
Xing stretched out his hand and solemnly took over the fire that had overcome countless failures but still remained unextinguished.
This timeline leading to tomorrow will be opened by her personally.
Let her give tomorrow a chance for all the sacrifices made in the past, and let the spark left behind from countless failures turn into a blaze that will spread across the prairie!
There's never any need to choose.
The star standing here is itself a choice, the other side that countless "her" have never reached.
Annie looked at Xing's eyes that were no longer confused, and a complex emotion quietly welled up in her heart. Yes... How many failed timelines did it take to finally get this tiny hope for this timeline to survive to this day?
This time, it was the closest to victory among countless reincarnations.
Similarly... this is also the last reincarnation that Annie is betting on with her [Remembered] body, all the laws and authority.
There is no way out, or perhaps there never was.
"Aini."
Xing looked at the white-haired girl in front of him, a bright and confident smile on his lips.
That smile seemed to transcend time, overlapping with the smile of the girl who had just left the Black Tower Space Station and was full of vigor and vitality and shouted that she wanted to become the Emperor of Heaven.
It is really a great blessing to be an unknown guest.
A smile appeared on Xing's lips. No matter how many times she repeated herself or in which timeline, she would never regret meeting everyone and becoming a part of the Starry Sky Train family.
This was her choice, and it never changed.
The universe has always been a prison called reincarnation, but as Annie said, there are always some things that will quietly change in countless repetitions, and at the same time... there are always some things that will never change even if thousands of reincarnations flow.
On the forehead of the star, an extremely bright golden mark suddenly shone, like the first ray of dawn.
The ever-burning fire deep in the pupils seemed to light up the entire world, and when the unchanging pure white cage was broken, the shackles of imprisonment and memory were also cut off.
As Annie said, what imprisons memory is never the external barriers, but the memory itself.
This entire pure white area is shaped by human memory. In other words... the deepest shackles that bind Annie are the despair of the end.
As long as you don't have the courage to give up everything, memory will forever become a prison of remembrance.
The more you remember, the heavier the shackles become, until everything becomes a monument and your heart becomes a tomb.
Xing chose to open his eyes.
What she inherited was not just a faint flame, but the will left by countless "selves" in the past.
And this is the last thing that Annie must do as a reminder.
Only by having the courage to give up everything, even giving up one's own existence, can the cage of memory be broken.
Om-!
An ethereal humming sound suddenly resounded throughout the pure white world, and the next moment, the pure white wall that had imprisoned Annie for who knows how many years collapsed and turned into points of light floating all over the sky.
After countless reincarnations, Annie set foot in the real "universe" for the first time.
During countless similar days and nights, the girl with long snow-white hair curled up on the sofa, with different timelines shown on the black and white TV reflected in her pupils.
"give up."
The cold whispers often rang in her ears, like a thorn in her flesh.
"Haven't you tasted enough failure yet?"
The voice was extremely cold, as if mocking her useless action.
"They all failed, do you still choose to believe?"
The questions deep in her soul tried again and again to break down the weak yet stubborn barrier in her heart.
The will that came from the rules themselves always whispered in her ears, persuading her to give up those useless emotions and expectations. As one of the three major laws that maintain the universe, she should be absolutely rational like a real rule, and not be moved by any sorrow or joy.
But she is no longer just a cold law. Before she becomes a law, she is first herself - Annie.
If you want to break free from this cage made of endless memories, you must give up everything you have and abandon everything that is regarded as the foundation and meaning.
Annie gave up all the shackles that were taken for granted, but in return she received the most precious reward.
free.
After being imprisoned across countless timelines, Aini experienced freedom for the first time.
The strange and surging emotion washed over her senses like a warm current, as if a newborn baby was taking its first breath, opening its eyes and seeing the real universe for the first time.
The stars are so twinkling and close.
The Milky Way is long and winding, as if it can really flow all the way to the end of the universe.
The petals on some planets will really float on the wind to the distant yet familiar hometown.
Annie has seen many memories, many lives belonging to other people, and the scenery in memories.
But there wasn't even a single moment of her own.
Unless you see it with your own eyes, you will never truly understand.
Annie stood there in a daze, two lines of tears silently sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the crown of the World Tree, which had never been stained with tears.
She is free.
The girl who was given the sole purpose of remembering her existence since her birth finally found her freedom at the end of countless timelines.
Xing stood beside Annie, patted her shoulder, and said in a meaningful tone: "Even if it is the Supreme Law, time is running out."
Annie blinked and looked at Xing with some confusion.
"You're right, but this is An Ming, the God of Shura Field. You're about to face the Chosen Girlfriend, the Invincible Sam of Pure Love, the Armored Fusion of Firefly, who slaughtered all the Immortal Boats for you, the Great Love of An Ming, the Divine Divination of Fu Xuan, who recreates a Garden of Eden where only you and I exist, the Harmonious Destiny of the Robin—(10,000 words omitted here)."
Xing started chanting the Bible directly to Annie, so that Annie, the new recruit who was about to join the Shura Field of the Dream Girl, could feel the atmosphere in advance.
There was obvious confusion in Annie's eyes. Even if she memorized the book, she couldn't understand such a complicated thing for the time being.
Looking at such innocent Annie, Xing sighed softly.
Brother Ming, it's not that I'm not a human being, but you are about to face the most oppressive person in the history of the world, Annie.

Good morning~!
