Eternal Night

Chapter 621 Iterative Personality
So... what am I, really?
Wu Pifu saw himself, his version of himself on this timeline.

A root cause... or rather, a small part of a root cause.

Just as the subspace is part of the origin of the Spiritual Civilization, Wu Pifu saw a part of himself with his own eyes...

This is actually a very abstract concept. Just as humans cannot truly see four-dimensional life, the root cause is similar to this kind of higher-dimensional life, only more mysterious.

Wu Pifu currently lacks an elevated body and existential characteristics, so in theory he should be unable to see the essence of the root. However, this root is drawn by the cause and effect of the homesick fantasy, so he sees himself on the other side of this cause and effect, just as the root also sees him.

In that instant, two equally vast, equally unfathomable, and equally iterated negative forces clashed against each other.

In that endless darkness, Wu Pifu saw himself as a mirror image, but he also discovered that there was a big problem with the other self, because the self in the mirror image was too dull and had no human warmth whatsoever.

"I am Wu Pifu!"

Wu Pifu spoke loudly, while his other self stared blankly at him, asking, "Then what am I?"

Who are you? You don't even know who you are?
Wu Pifu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "You are me on this timeline! Our timelines are out of sync."

On the other side, Wu Pifu frowned and said, "So, you mean I'm Wu Pifu? If I'm Wu Pifu, then what are you?"

"I am also Wu Pifu. Didn't I just say that? I am you from another timeline!"

On the other side, Wu Pifu, still bewildered, said, "No, that's not right. You have the flavor of an absolute spacetime concept, but you can't be me, and I can't be you. At the level of an absolute spacetime concept, it's impossible for two identical individuals to exist at the same time. This has nothing to do with whether spacetime is misaligned, because once there are two identical you and me but at different times, it means that you are no longer in an absolute spacetime concept, but in a relative spacetime concept. The relative spacetime concept is the authority and domain of 'time'. In the infinite battles with 'the wheel', 'time' was shattered and lost. All beings that fall into the relative spacetime concept will eventually be lost. So you can't be me, and I can't be Wu Pifu."

Wu Pifu's mouth gaped open, giving him a look that said, "What the hell are you talking about?"

On the other side, Wu Pifu looked at Wu Pifu with eyes devoid of any expression and said, "But you and I have a huge causal connection, which can even awaken me from my state of ignorance, so... you know who I am, right?"

Wu Pifu opened his palm and waved, saying, "Wait a minute, let me sort this out... Don't you remember who you are?"

On the other side, Wu Pifu nodded, then frowned and said, "Let me think again... Do you still remember your name? Your parents' names? The 21st century? The 29th century? The Land of Redemption?"

On the other side, Wu Pifu shook his head. He was completely expressionless. Although he nodded and shook his head, he was like a puppet, without any emotion whatsoever. It seemed that he was more like a puppet than Wu Pifu himself.

"No way!?"

Wu Pifu rubbed his head: "So you haven't come back because you have amnesia? Do you remember how you lost your memory?"

Originally, Wu Pifu didn't think he could get any useful information from the other Wu Pifu, but who knew that the other Wu Pifu would actually speak up: "I fought against the three roots of the Spiritual Civilization, the Mind Civilization, and the Spiritual Civilization. When I was about to be defeated, I had no choice but to perish with them. This is my earliest memory."

"...This is your earliest memory? So what did you do to perish together with them?" Wu Pifu asked in surprise.

Another Wu Pifu said emotionlessly, "I completely opened up the negative aspects of my sea of ​​consciousness that I could open. The magnitude of this was roughly equivalent to 98 trillion percent of your current negative mental backflow rate. I sank into a lower-level dream world. In the relative acceleration of time in this negative sea of ​​consciousness, I spent about 20 trillion trillion years. Until then, they finally dissolved into my negative sea of ​​consciousness. And I, who had completely perished, relied on their root essence to reshape my personality. In total, it iterated about 80 trillion trillion trillion trillion..."

"stop!"

Wu Pifu rubbed his temples and said, "Okay, I think I understand. What you're saying is that because you've iterated too many times, all your memories and personality are gone. In the end, it was the essence of those four roots that was dissolved that reshaped you into who you are now, right? That's why you said... you're not me, not only because your personality isn't who I am now, but also because you have both the essence of Wu Pifu and the essence of the four roots, right?"

The other Wu Pifu nodded.

This gave Wu Pifu a real headache. He looked at his other self and asked, "So what exactly are you now?"

Another Wu Pifu countered, "So what exactly am I?"

Both Wu Pifu fell silent. Suddenly, a gentle female voice rang out, "Does it hurt?"

Wu Pifu immediately recognized his mother's voice, guessing that it was another fragment of memory that had surfaced due to the corrupting properties of the Song of Glory.

But for the first time, another Wu Pifu showed signs of life on his face. His eyes flickered, and then he asked, "What is this..."

Wu Pifu said, "It's my mother's voice."

Another Wu Pifu shook his head and said, "No, 'Mother' resides in the Zero Point Two Dream World level. Her voice has terrifying polluting properties, and even I have to be careful to avoid it. How could this be 'Mother's' voice?"

Wu Pifu immediately retorted angrily, "You bastard, that's our mother's voice! It's Mom! It's the voice of the mother who gave birth to us... or at least the mother who gave birth to the first Wu Pifu!"

The other Wu Pifu fell silent, not knowing what it had done. Suddenly, the voice rang out again, then again, and again... countless times, so noisy it sounded like an argument.

"stop!"

Wu Pifu roared loudly. The other Wu Pifu showed a hint of reluctance on its face, but still stopped. Then Wu Pifu circled around it, looked at it, and said, "So why do you want to listen to this voice? And why have you listened to it so many times?" The other Wu Pifu still replied without any emotion, "I don't know, but I want to hear it."

Wu Pifu frowned as he looked at Him, deep in thought. Just as the other Wu Pifu was about to repeat the voice he had just heard, Wu Pifu suddenly said, "So... you want to know what you are, right?"

The other Wu Pifu immediately looked at him and said, "Do you know what I am?"

Wu Pifu laughed heartily and actually reached out to him, saying as he did so, "Of course I know! You... are a person! You are a good person!"

The other Wu Pi Fu remained silent, merely staring blankly at Wu Pi Fu. Just as his hand was about to reach out to him, he spoke: "You have a huge causal connection with me, so I don't want to absorb you. Let me remind you, we are currently in the negative realm of the sea of ​​consciousness. Once you touch me, you will resonate with my negativity. Do you understand what this means? Without a perfect barrier, you simply cannot maintain your form and essence within my root essence."

"It's nothing." Wu Pifu chuckled, continuing to reach forward with his hand.

Another Wu Pifu said, "Is it okay if the essence is dissolved?"

"It's alright, because..."

Wu Pifu said earnestly, "Making you a person is very important to me!"

In the next instant, Wu Pifu and another Wu Pifu found themselves simultaneously in a vast and boundless cosmic ocean. In the endless darkness, they could see countless starlight, but those were not actually stars; rather, they were the echoing imprints left after each personality iteration…

"why?"

"There's no reason why. If you weren't human, then...they would cry!"

In an instant, an endless stream of negative forces resonated and clashed...

On the corpses and remains of the glorious past, the polluting properties continue to spread, and fragments of past memories occasionally surface from this terrifying negativity...

"...Then let's name him Wu Pifu, the 'ant trying to shake a tree' and the 'petty man' in 'a petty man's anger'!"

"...Son, do you want to be a person, a good person?"

"...You good-for-nothing, instead of learning good things, you insist on learning from those spoiled brats..."

"...does it hurt?"

"...Mom and Dad have planned everything for you. When you wake up, you'll be better. It's okay, son. The future will be better..."

"...The future will definitely be better!"

“…Wu Pifu…”

Still in that endless darkness, still two people stand facing each other, except that one of them is gradually turning completely dark, while the other gradually becomes more human from being listless.

As Wu Pifu gradually developed emotions and expressions, he looked at his other self, who was gradually darkening in front of him, sighed, and reached out. The darkness on Wu Pifu gradually seeped into his body. However, the two were of vastly different sizes. What was darkness that was enough to permeate everything for Wu Pifu was merely a black brand on his arm for him.

Stripped completely into darkness, Wu Pifu gradually regained his senses, but he could no longer see his surroundings clearly, because his actions caused everything around him to vibrate and become hazy.

He said, “Thanks to your life-risking help, I finally know who I am. That’s right, I am also Wu Pifu, only the next iteration of Wu Pifu to you… I am truly ashamed that I have only returned to my original form today…”

Wu Pifu simply smiled towards the source of the hazy voice, and then he heard the voice continue, "I will return to the Land of Redemption. Don't worry, I'll be here... But you are also in danger. Although you have the Absolute Spacetime Anchoring Protocol, you have altered spacetime too much. The 'Wheel of Hyperspace' may have already anchored itself to you. Be extremely careful, remember this well..."

"So……"

Wu Pifu smiled knowingly, said nothing, and simply clasped his hands in response.

On the other side, He also laughed and clasped his hands in response.

“Wu Pifu…”

"I've seen it before!"

With a "I've seen you," Wu Pifu vanished into the endless darkness.

A moment later, a darkness that blotted out the universe rose from the dream world of Zero Point Two, relying on cause and effect, on the vital energy, and on the anchor of being "human"...

The source of the 0.2 level broke through and went to the 0.7 level dream world!
