Chapter 418 Silver-haired Vivian
at the same time--

On the other side——

"The new parameters found in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers may be useful..."

"But it's still not enough to complete the anchoring..."

The Qi practitioner is placed in the wrinkled shadow of the void, with the halo of birth and death of the three thousand worlds flowing deep in his pupils.

It was a glow like the collapse of the galaxy, or like a curled-up parallel reality blooming in the retina.

In this void, chaos and order interweave into a dazzling spider web, and countless transparent films stretch out in the void.

Each membrane is like a cross-section of a space-time line, refracting a spectrum of billions of possibilities.

As an observer, he can overlook countless sections of time and space at the same time, and the universe presents infinite possibilities in a tree-like structure.

But at this moment.

In the eyes of the Qi practitioner, there is only a quiet reflection of the "giant tree" that penetrates the dimension——

Its tangled roots penetrate into the void, its branches pierce through dimensional barriers, and every leaf flickers in quantum fluctuations.

——Its backbone is the absolute timeline…

—The branches are quantum probability bifurcations…

——Its leaves are endless parallel world lines...

It was unknown how much time had passed, but he suddenly pointed a finger lightly, and his fingertip touched the gravitational string that was wrapped around him.

A certain part of its "crown" was immediately magnified thousands of times in my consciousness.

I saw that the space-time bubble was emitting an amber halo, and the connection between the petiole and the branch became light and transparent.

Through the translucent film, one can see that the spiral nebula is collapsing into a pale vortex, and the probability wave functions of all events are oscillating wildly, like the overlapping shadows cast by a candle in the wind.

He knew - that was the prelude to the end.

Three-dimensional creatures will never be able to understand how strange this kind of decay is.

Because for life living in a linear flow of time, the world is a long river that flows continuously.

But in the perspective of a Qi practitioner, this leaf is withering simultaneously from all time points.

From the floating ashes of the Sea of Nothingness 12,000 years ago, to the phosphorescent reflections of corpses on the battlefield of the abyss at the end of the Age of Gods; from the meteor showers burning in the stratosphere on the day of the extinction of the dinosaurs, to the first time a certain ape-man lit fire with flint...

All of this turned into drifting dust in his sight.

Moreover, not only are the established causes and effects of the past disappearing, but even the future that has not yet happened is gradually evaporating like morning mist.

A spiritual civilization that has evolved a collective consciousness...

The Interstellar Federation was born in the 25th century...

Even the heat death that awaits at the end of infinite time…

——All of this is completely returning to nothingness.

At that final moment, the edge of the end, at the moment when the leaf fell, it seemed to have finally broken free from the shackles of causality, spinning and slowly falling into the abyss of imaginary space.

At this moment, time seems to freeze and everything is silent.

………………

………………

Everything in perception is like a dream, gradually returning to the deep silence.

Xia Zhi's eyes slowly opened, as if waking up from a sleepwalking across heaven and earth.

He withdrew from that extremely mysterious state, as if he could "wander beyond the vast universe and observe the will of heaven". His spirituality slowly fell from an infinite height like drizzle, and finally merged into the dimension of reality.

The spacious and bright terrace stretches into the unknown distance. The shiny floor reflects the soft light, like a mirror reflecting the quiet night and the stars.

Around the huge terrace, pillars as thick as a man's embrace stand tall, quietly witnessing everything like guardian gods.

The moonlight shines through the clouds and falls on the pillars, creating mottled light and shadows, adding a sense of mystery.

And in the center of this terrace, a gorgeous and quiet jade throne stands alone.

The young man just sat upright on the jade throne, leaning against the armrest, supporting his chin, and he seemed to be taking a nap with his eyes closed.

"Are you awake? What's going on?"

Vivian's calm voice came from beside the throne, without any ripples, but inexplicably made people feel gentle.

"I can only say... it's not optimistic."

Xia Zhi pinched his chin, thought seriously, and said calmly: "This world line has been "cut down" as an unnecessary branch. It is the result of being pruned by the laws of the universe itself..."

There was a hint of heaviness in his tone. "In the phenomena of the universe, it is a phenomenon that has been completed and ended. There is no need to continue to observe its ending."

"This point..." He pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, "To be honest, it's hard to change."

"..."

"..."

Vivian was silent for a moment, as if trying to digest this cruel fact. She asked softly, "Even with your current means, it's not possible?

Xia Zhi looked upwards, his gaze piercing through the void, as if trying to capture the starlight that had disappeared.

“It’s hard to change…”

"Even now, I still can't change the fundamental nature of the universe..."

"Well, maybe the saying 'ignorance is bliss' really does make sense?" He looked away, still seeming to be joking.

But it is true.

For many things, the more you know, the less happy you are, just like that classic question: if tomorrow is the end of the world -

So do people wish they knew this, or didn’t know this?

If it is impossible and powerless to change the cruel fate, then perhaps most people would choose not to know about it, so that at least they can spend the last day in peace.

Perhaps it will end without us even noticing...

Just like euthanasia, dying in sleep without pain...

I have to say that this is indeed a better option that many people will choose...

——As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss.

"But now we know..."

The girl was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly, "If that's the case, then doesn't it mean that... everything I have done so far--"

"No, no, no—don't rush to deny it."

Xia Zhi coughed lightly and said, "I think the most important thing is the change in cognition and the difference in thinking."

"……what?"

"Look, although all this seems very pessimistic, in fact, for the lives that are in it and don't realize this..."

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment and continued, "It cannot be said that such a fate does not exist, but it is also beyond the reach of perception." "..."

"..."

A silence slowly flowed in the air.

The girl seemed to be thinking about something seriously.

The young man continued, "Vivian, think about it, how long can the fairy kingdom you long for last in your original conception?"

"Thousands of years? Tens of thousands of years? Even after the end of the planet...?"

He gave examples patiently.

At this time, Vivian also spoke softly: "Of course I wouldn't expect that..."

"I actually know that Britain will end one day, but I don't think it should be the same as before..."

"I believe it should be more stable, like falling asleep..."

"..."

"..."

Hmm, it seems a little familiar.

Xia Zhi's eyes flickered gently, as if he had captured a familiar ripple in the ocean of memory.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to a scene not long ago - to him now, it seemed that all time was just a short while ago.

A blonde girl with the same appearance and figure as Vivian...

She pulled herself to sit on the top of the astronomical tower of the Fairy King's Court, looking up at the starry sky, and pouring out her heart...

Those thoughts and unfulfilled dreams about Britain are so similar to Vivian's words that one can't help but sigh...

How should I put it? Are they sisters after all? Not only do they share the same unresolvable obsession with Britain, but they also hold similar visions and dreams?
certainly--

He wouldn't be stupid enough to bring up such a thing at this time, let alone mention Altria's name or any related words.

Xia Zhi just reacted quickly, and then maintained his expression unchanged, nodding seriously in agreement:

"If that's the case, isn't that right?"

"If it had been according to the original plan, you wouldn't have needed to worry so much..."

"The problem now is that we have a broader vision and cognition, so we can perceive the hidden dangers behind it..."

He spoke eloquently and with solid arguments.

"..."

"..."

"But isn't the problem now that there is a broader vision and cognition, and that it also gives Britain the possibility of everlasting existence and never ending?"

Vivian finally broke the silence, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "So that's what we need to consider."

If we really just follow the original idea, it would be much easier and we don't need to consider too many other issues.

But now, everything has become complicated.

"There's no need to worry too much. I've already taken certain actions that can alleviate the situation where this leaf will eventually wither..."

The young man thought for a moment and said, "It may not solve the problem, but at least it can buy a considerable amount of time. After that, I will see..."

"Can it be solved later?" Vivian asked.

"Not sure, but you can't just hang yourself on a tree, right?"

Xia Zhi shook his head. "I can't change the tree itself for now, but I can think of a way to pick off the leaves and preserve them. That should be okay."

"So, not now?"

"Now... ahem, not yet. Even a leaf can preserve a slice of information about an "if" in the entire universe..."

Xia Zhi coughed and said, "The file is too large. It's not realistic to save it all. Besides, I'm still figuring out my expertise in information technology."

"..."

"..."

"So... I understand."

Vivian hesitated for a moment and spoke softly.

"That's good--"

Xia Zhi nodded, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, Vivian, are you... ready now?"

“Although we can let Bawan Xiliang debut first, after all, she is the protagonist of tonight, we can also let those special guests get to know each other and get to know each other…”

"But, we can't just stay away forever, right?"

"..."

"..."

A silence.

The girl didn't answer.

"Vivian?" Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"I, I know...it's just...um - you really didn't peek just now, did you?"

Vivian seemed to grit her teeth.

"Of course I'm not that unromantic. I even deliberately didn't try to read the future." Xia Zhi shook his head decisively.

"..."

"..."

"Well then—" Vivian seemed to take a deep breath, her tone revealing a kind of determination.

Faint spatial fluctuations were heard, and she lifted the magic of illusions and barriers on the jade throne.

Immediately afterwards——

The silver hair poured down like frozen moonlight, as if the entire British winter was woven into the three thousand strands of black hair.

The frosty long skirt wrapped around the slender waist, the hem of the skirt flowed with glacial patterns, and each fold looked like a line of cold poetry carved by the north wind.

Before the Summer Solstice...

The Queen of Winter tilted her head slightly, allowing him to observe her, a hint of blush quietly spreading across her neck that looked like the top of a snowy mountain.

"How, how is it..."

She pursed her lips and tried to ask in a calm tone, "Does it look good?"
