Chapter 392: The Death Penalty Dilemma of the Fairy Kingdom

"The direction of human history's world……"

"And——"

"The direction of human history's negation?"

The silver-haired Goddess pondered slightly, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

As if recalling stories drowned by history, she wore a thoughtful expression.

She seemed to have thought of something too.

"Putting it that way, I suppose so……"

After a moment, Miss Filia, lost in thought, spoke slowly, her tone carrying a sense of relief——

"These thousands of years of the mortal world, as you say, have indeed been moving toward two completely different directions……"

The long years were like a silent river, flowing slowly, carrying away past glory and changing the face of the world.

The Gods ultimately parted from the mortal world thousands of years ago.

Therefore, in the thousands of years after that……

They could no longer intuitively sense the trends of change in the mortal world as they once did when they ruled the earth and dominated humanity.

Moreover, Divine Spirit Summoning is indeed a rare example; among the vast number of Parallel World Lines, it is not a widespread phenomenon, and can even be said to be exceedingly rare.

Only worlds with very special circumstances, or worlds that have encountered extremely dire crises……

In other words, if it is within a World Line where Human Order is stable and the Counter Force is overly strong, the existence of Divine Spirits will become extremely rare.

So——

One cannot expect Divine Spirits to be summoned frequently……

Then, through a divided spirit experiencing various events on different time axes, bringing intelligence back to the Main Body's hands……

Plus, the divergence of the world is not as simple and crude as a knife cut; it is more like fine rain sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.

It is not that spacetime directly and crudely splits into two halves.

Nor will there be any intuitive hint allowing one to clearly perceive exactly what happened.

So——

The Goddess, who was not too attentive in these aspects, after summarizing the situation, also realized that reality indeed seemed to be so.

This vast universe tolerantly accepts countless possibilities, thereby giving birth to innumerable Parallel Worlds and distinctively developing History Chapters.

At first glance, the future is like flowers in brocade, possessing many distinct possibilities, as if every step leads to a different tomorrow.

However, that is merely an illusion.

Because when one's Gaze delves into Exploration, one will clearly discover that beneath the splendid appearance, another scene is actually hidden.

Indeed.

There do exist countless strange and winding Roads leading to the future of this Planet.

But upon careful scrutiny, one will understand that they all lead to the same destination by different routes, as if all have entered a dead end.

And when these seemingly infinite yet ultimately void possibilities are eliminated one by one, what remains is surprisingly similar.

The currently stable Parallel World Groups full of infinite possibilities almost coincide with the Magician's assertion, leaving only differences in two major Directions:

——Heroic Spirit Summoning becomes possible, Human Order becomes the main theme……

——Negating human history, Dead Apostle Strengthening becomes the main theme……

Even these two major Directions are somewhat completely opposite, meaning they run counter to each other.

Like the two ends of a Scale, quietly hanging on the pan of fate, awaiting the Universe's judgment.

After all, just as life has Competition, history also has Victory and Defeat; since one affirms human history and one negates human history, as long as one's Brain is normal, one can definitely think of……

Between them, only one can inevitably become the Victor.

"Right, right……"

Xia Zhi smiled slightly, then waved his arm, his Fist drawing an arc in Mid-air, solidly striking the shell of the huge Spider-like Creature beside him.

Only a "Boom" dull sound was heard.

The Ground trembled slightly, as if even Space trembled at this moment.

The Great Void, reinforced and strengthened by various Jutsu and Bounded Fields, fortified like a Nuclear Shelter buried deep underground in a Mountain, was also clearly affected by some impact.

Fortunately, its Structure was not shaken, and no further Collapse Accident or the like occurred.

"I actually discovered earlier that the universe we know is originally unstable; what makes it tend toward stability between now, past, and future is this universe's unique…… well, Law……"

Xia Zhi withdrew his Fist as if nothing had happened, continuing to talk at length.

Only when speaking to the end did he deliberate a moment, choosing a relatively neutral word.

After all, there is currently no exact evidence indicating that the universe possesses a great will, or that some Higher Power is controlling the universe…… even if it is truly Suspicious.

"Uh…… please continue."

Miss Filia raised her Eyebrow, glanced at the motionless huge Spider with her crimson eyes, then withdrew her Gaze.

She did not believe this person suddenly had a Nervous Breakdown and punched ORT once.

Probably he foresaw the huge Spider might indirectly riot again, so gave it a Preemptive Strike in advance…… this situation is not common, but has occasionally happened these days.

"Actually it is very simple."

"Imagine a true World Tree; in order to keep growing and tend toward stability, it will Prune and Harvest itself……"

"And those cut-off Branch and Leaf are worlds that excessively deviate from the Main Route and become exceptions, consequently losing most Divergence Possibilities……"

The Magician coughed lightly, his eyes slightly lowered, his Tone also seeming to become somewhat solemn——

"Once a Parallel World is confirmed Pruned, its Operation will be Stopped, its development possibilities severed, and all Existence in the world will be thoroughly Eliminated."

"……"

"……"

"You pay close attention to this?"

Miss Filia's heart stirred slightly; she asked tentatively, not hiding the curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Of course. The world line I belong to is one that has already been pruned and destroyed."

Xia Zhi nodded slightly and spoke calmly: "Although due to some accidents, it has now reappeared, within the judgment of the Universe Law—it's probably still the result of maintaining the original verdict."

A Lostbelt interrupted as an "Unnecessary Existence," even discarded by Parallel World Theory.

To be honest, it's the kind that has already been sentenced to death.

Although there was an unexpected turn of events on the Fairy Kingdom side, showing quite the momentum of Defying Fate, breaking through the many restrictions of the Lostbelt, and even beginning to resurrect those dead stars, displaying Vitality.

However...

This kind of behavior cannot be said to be useless, but it is difficult to change the most fundamental fact.

It's like a Death Row Inmate who should have accepted the judgment of fate at the Criminal Execution Ground, but unexpectedly seized an opportunity and escaped.

After that, this Death Row Inmate might be able to change his appearance, start a new life, enjoy Career Success, and live a fulfilling life.

But...

His True Identity is still a Death Row Inmate; this is an Objective Fact that cannot be changed or erased.

Just like the Fairy Nation Singularity that underwent Pruning, although it once disappeared and reappeared, that sentenced Destiny still follows closely like a shadow.

Originally, Xia Zhi hadn't perceived it.

But with the smooth progress of research, analysis, and Reverse Engineering of the Second Magic, he slowly discovered signs that something was off.

It seems that for the Second Magic, the world line of the Fairy Nation Singularity does not exist.

—Not that it's difficult to interfere with, but that it simply cannot be targeted.

—You cannot use a Targeting Skill on a target that does not exist!

This made him faintly perceive the troublesome Essence of the matter.

Lostbelts are the history of losers based on Wrong Choices and Wrong Prosperity, dead ends discarded by Parallel World Theory...

No matter how you mess around, as long as you don't retrieve the lost Legal Compilation, then in this Universe you are thoroughly a Black Household.

An Existence that is not needed, an unnecessary fluctuation (if).

"Eh eh eh, a pruned world?" The Silver-haired Girl looked surprised, almost covering her small mouth with her hand.

Something that was cut down, discarded, and reduced to historical residue actually has hope of a comeback?

And even gave birth to such a powerful, unparalleled Monster from within?

Is this some kind of kingly path plot?

"No need to be so surprised; the situation on our side is very Complex, with all sorts of strange things, far worse than any Evolutionary Period on Earth..."

Xia Zhi understood the Goddess's gaze, and instead explained calmly: "I can only be considered the Standard Engineering type."

After all, compared to the Pan-Human History with a normal main Direction, that side is simply a proper Monster House.

Magic King Goetia, Genesis Womb Tiamat, Lostbelt King, ORT, Chaos...

Simply a gathering of heroes and outstanding figures, all wanting to complete the Reincarnation of Human Order, overturn the original history, and output their own world as a Conclusion Output to that star fought over by everyone.

Compared to that, he only has a tiny bit of Insignificant achievement.

Completely Trivial.

"It sounds interesting even to me..."

Miss Filia Blinked, then asked tentatively again: "You seem unwilling to give up your world, do you have any ideas?"

"..."

"..."

"Not for the time being..." the Magician pondered for a moment, then Shaking Head.

He has many Symptomatic Treatment methods, such as simply Abandoning the Lostbelt and running away with the bucket.

—Later choose another stable Spacetime and recreate the entire world of the Fairy Kingdom...

—Or leave a tiny bit of Insignificant storage space inside the Great Dao Golden Core, which can also perform True Simulation on the spirit particle level...

But if it's Root Cause Treatment, there's temporarily no way.

The court side doesn't give channels for Appeal, and still wants to maintain the Original Verdict.

"But currently the Reincarnation of Human Order is not yet completed; no matter how the Counter Force is activated, it should still be Planet-Level, and should be Endurable..."

He Pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to the large Spider sleeping beside him.

"As for now, I just need to keep increasing my chips..."

"And—"

"It is said to be an achievement of the Second Magic, proving that the world still has room for Different Development, bringing hope to the star that was gradually losing dreams..."

"Considering the time the old man proved the Second Magic, and the time of the great divergence in Pan-Human History, these two should have some relationship..."

Since that's the case, he must make progress in this field as soon as possible.

Among the two current Mainstream Directions, one is the direction of Denying Human History and Dead Apostle Strengthening...

Then, why can't the Prospect of the Fairy Kingdom be similarly recognized and become a Divergence Possibility of Pan-Human History?
