"Come on, let's take a picture together." Chen Li carelessly took out his camera and then posed for a photo with his back to Otto.
Chen Li didn't know if this was the real Otto of the future or a future possibility brought about by the Pleasure Dice.
But anyway, it was just so much fun!
Strength is genuine, expression cannot be imitated, and hysterical despair is unparalleled!
After recognizing himself through the screen as the figure of the seemingly invincible Chen Li, who was attacking him futilely in the distance, Otto felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he slumped into his chair.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Hurry up and go back to where you belong. Then, considering your contribution to the coexistence between the former and current civilizations, I might give you another chance to resurrect Kallen. How about it?" Chen Li said with interest to the hysterical Otto.
“…” Otto stopped attacking.
Because he was already exhausted.
Breaking through the barrier of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers was already a defying act, and launching a continuous attack on Chen Li was the final ripple of Otto's resentment at this moment.
Chen Li's last words gave Otto both hope and drained Otto of his last bit of strength and energy.
“You… write a written agreement,” Otto said slowly.
"Huh, did I hear that right? You want me to sign a written agreement? On what grounds?"
"I will give you everything I can, just in exchange for one chance," Otto said slowly, leaning against the tangible shield of his circle of friends.
Keep going, my other self!
No matter what the promise is, no matter what the price, it's always better than having your hopes easily crushed just when you've exhausted everything and are about to grasp them.
Even if one deserves the punishment.
Having realized there was still a chance for things to turn around, Otto in the current timeline braced his hands against the screen, staring intently at the scene unfolding before him.
“No interest. You may not understand, but for me, all wealth is readily available.”
"Then what do you want?" Otto asked, his head bowed.
"Then write a letter," Chen Li suddenly had a brilliant idea.
"letter?"
"That's right, so that when I meet Otto again, I can make him believe that I have severed time and space, and give him a letter that will make him despair."
"Why?" If this is the price, Otto doesn't care.
But Otto wants to understand it as your personal logic, and use that to judge whether the other person's words are credible or not.
"Because, because, because... I really want to see your expression when I tell you, when you're heartbroken, 'Otto, even though you don't have Kallen, you still have me!'" Chen Li said excitedly.
"..."
Is this person a demon?
Cecilia, who was sitting on the grass covered with countless Cecilia flowers, holding the still-closed Cecilia, was completely distraught after hearing Chen Li and Otto's conversation.
Cecilia had completely erased the impression of Chen Li as gentle, kind, considerate, and funny in the illusion, leaving only the impression that "this person should never be messed with."
“…Okay.” Otto readily accepted the olive branch offered by Chen Li.
Because he had no other choice.
Otto will suffer, and he will bear the blame.
Everything was for the purpose of reviving Kallen.
Otto believes that his past or future self would also choose to forgive him if he knew the truth.
Otto then slammed the Heavenly Fire Judgment, formed from the power of imaginary numbers and on the paper Chen Li handed him, which was about to disintegrate. This created a series of secret texts that only Otto himself could understand.
"How is it, Your Majesty? Are you happier now?" After finishing all this, Chen Li put away the letter and turned to look at Xilin.
Anyway, Chen Li is very happy now. Chen Li thinks Xilin can be happy too.
Xilin was too exhausted to answer Chen Li, but the way she looked at him made him feel a little strange.
"Now it's time for you to leave, and it's also time for me to sever the connection between the previous civilization and the current civilization. It's also time for me to edit this [historical fragment] of the Second Collapse."
“Although we haven’t known each other for long, after seeing what happened to you, Sirin, at the Tower of Babylon, it’s really hard to say something like, ‘Your Majesty, if you want to live, you need to die first.’” Chen Li shrugged helplessly.
It's all Chen Li's fault for being greedy for the term "Second Collapse" and insisting on seeing Xilin's experiences before that.
It's all Celine's fault for throwing all her experiences into that dream bubble.
Tsk tsk, Chen Li could hardly imagine how Xilin felt after being tortured day and night, watching her companions die one by one, and then having to be led by the experimental staff to bury her companions' bodies in the snow.
Otto, you're a fucking genius!
Making you despair twice is far too lenient!
I'll have to give you even more work!
Otto's body, which appeared before Chen Li because of the Pleasure Dice, slowly disappeared, and Chen Li seemed to see the path Otto had taken.
History and time are thus revealed.
Chen Li also slammed the Myriad Manifestations Severance, which had transformed into two single-edged swords, together, and they reverted to being scissors.
【Ding! 】
The crisp sound echoed across the snow-covered plains, bringing the world to a moment of silence!
Time and space seemed to be torn apart at that moment.
144
Chapter 144 creates a parallel world in the name of "what if" and "fiction"!
All things are severed, vanished in a single thought, yet eternal in a single thought.
Although the process was somewhat arduous (but extremely enjoyable), with Otto's selfless help, Chen Li also witnessed history and time.
The Joy Dice are a great thing!
It needs to be used more often.
We really should enjoy life while we can!
Of course, I'm not thinking about these kinds of nonsense right now.
Chen Li is currently in a void, resting his chin on one hand and holding scissors in the other, watching the film reels playing different images in front of him.
Although he didn't quite understand why the River of Time wasn't a single river, when the bottom of Chen Li's scissors touched a certain segment of the film, Chen Li was indeed clearly aware of what he was doing and what the consequences would be.
Chen Li ran his hand over the film and saw the anchor points he had left in this world called the Collapsed World.
First, what comes into view is naturally the time when Chen Li first appeared during the second collapse. However, Chen Li rewinds a long time before seeing his first true "appearance" 50,000 years ago.
After Chen Li disappeared, things proceeded as Chen Li had imagined.
With Chen Li gone, the Moth Chasing Flames, who only obeyed Chen Li's orders, and the UN high-ranking officials naturally no longer needed to obey Chen Li's orders.
This was a loophole that Chen Li deliberately left behind.
Those high-ranking officials were simply carrying out the civilization fiction project set up by Chen Li, and did nothing else.
Fortunately, Chen Li's relationship with Mebius, Alice, and Vervier is still shallow, which is within the normal range in the eyes of these high-level people, so these people were not affected.
Of course, it could also be because Alicia and the others are indeed a bit more capable in combat, plus these higher-ups still harbor lingering fears about Chen Li's existence...
Although Chen Li left two artifacts for the previous civilization, the artifact he left for Möbius was even more significant, theoretically capable of changing the world.
However, the reason why the previous civilization was destroyed in the same orderly manner as in the original story was because although the higher-ups did not dare to do anything to those who had contact with Chen Li, they subconsciously ignored them.
Möbius's artifacts were rather unique. Although they could create miracles in Möbius's hands, he was powerless to do so without sufficient experimental funding.
The existence of these artifacts allowed Mebius to advance further, but these higher-ups also hindered him further. With one increasing and the other decreasing, coupled with the Herrscher of the End, the ultimate balance-maker, and the 5-year gap in time, the existence of these artifacts was practically negligible.
Möbius's artifacts require extensive research and support; highly specialized artifacts are indeed easily hampered by research.
"Hey, these damn high-ranking officials are a bunch of damn geniuses!" Chen Li was amused and annoyed after reading through the initial history.
Chen Li wasn't looking to relive the process of the previous civilization's fight against the Herrscher, but rather to examine the gift he left for this world through the film reels.
Those were weapons with special attributes, personally crafted by Chen Li and left behind in the pre-civilization era. They had endured war and trials and tribulations, and had been successfully passed down from 5 years ago to the present day.
Chen Li was checking their tracks one by one.
Chen Li can view the past for free in this void, but he has to pay to view the future.
Perhaps it's because the past cannot be changed, and the future is unknowable.
And the fee charged... is, of course, star stones.
After reluctantly spending 300 stars, Chen Li meticulously recorded the remaining items and traces of the products of his numerous past plans.
They are just waiting to be taken back one by one in the future.
Having done all this, Chen Li slowly began to move the scissors, making a gentle cut at the end of the second collapse where Chen Li was currently located.
"Crack!"
With the crisp sound of scissors closing, the countless cycles constructed from the cocoon of the end finally found a gap.
Chen Li will also spend 10 years on this.
This is the price to pay for cutting off the pieces, and the price to pay for "letting the world forget me" is a different price altogether.
