After killing Chi Yi's shadow, Tian Yang fell into silence.
Chi Yi's words just now kept echoing in his mind.
"Three continents, shadows like these, guess how many I have arranged?"
"Which one of these is true?"
Obviously.
Chi Yi intends to play this game to the end.
Tianyang was not discouraged. He once again turned his gaze to the 'River of Destiny' and screened out those 'branches of destiny' that were related to himself and the two 'pillars'.
There are too many "branches of fate" like this.
Some of them occur after a few days, and some occur after two months.
And among these, sometimes, the number of "branches of fate" that intersect on the same day can reach as many as dozens!
It is not difficult to see from these "branches of fate" how many arrangements Chi Yi has made and how he is determined to distract Tianyang and delay time.
Tianyang's figure shook, and a phantom separated out, which soon took on texture.
He used 'Infinite Division' to create his own clones.
In a blink of an eye, clones appeared one after another. Tianyang created more than twenty clones and then gave these clones different essences.
In addition, each clone was given a 'branch of destiny', allowing them to search for Chi Yi and the recorder separately.
Soon these clones left in various ways.
Tianyang also stretched out his hand and wiped the air, heading to other destinations, waiting for the "destiny" that would come in a few days.
... ...
In the 'Temple of Knowledge'.
Looking at the words appearing on the huge book in the center.
Chi Yi laughed and said, "As I expected, in order to find us faster, He began to create clones and go to different places."
The recorder glanced at Him and said, "You are not planning to take advantage of those clones, are you?"
"why not."
Chi Yi pointed at the words on the giant book and said, "You can see that He gave these clones some essence in order to give them the power to fight against us."
"In this case, He Himself must be weak."
"Why don't we take this opportunity to kill Him?"
The recorder adjusted his monocle and said, "I advise you not to do this. We just need to follow the original plan and wait until the 'Black Disaster' is completely completed."
“There’s no need to take any risks.”
Chi Yi shrugged and said, "If we don't deal with His real body, dealing with His clone is also a good idea. You and I can take this opportunity to recover some of our essence and become stronger."
The recorder chuckled and said, "Do you know why I am still alive today?"
Chi Yi did not answer.
The recorder himself said: "It's not because I'm knowledgeable, nor because I'm great."
"It's because I can control myself, not be greedy, and have patience."
"If there is a method that is 100% sure, I won't use it."
"Just like now, it seems easy to deal with his clone, and recovering his essence is indeed tempting."
"But can you guarantee that it's not a trap?"
"Can you guarantee that it will be absolutely foolproof?"
Chi Yi was silent for a moment and then said, "Recorder, have you never taken risks before?"
The recorder glanced at him and said, "Who said that? This time, I chose to fight against 'Eternal Night', which means I am taking a risk!"
Chi Yi said nothing more.
... ... ..
soon.
Two months passed.
During these two months.
Tianyang's figure appeared in almost every corner of the three continents.
Through the "Branch of Destiny", he locked onto places that might intersect with the "Pillars".
Through different events, one encounters Chi Yi or the recorder.
But without exception, it was later confirmed that these so-called "pillars" were all shadows created by Chi Yi.
As time goes by, the 'Black Disaster' has become more and more serious, and more and more people are disappearing on the Western Continent.
Even in the East Continent and the Central Continent, humans began to disappear.
From the perspective of the "Pillars of Civilization", the time and space representing the "Industrial Revolution" is almost completely invaded by black.
East Land.
A small town that is beginning to take shape.
As the 'Black Tide' ended, the evil spirit disappeared.
Humans can finally stop building fortresses and live safely on the surface.
This town came into being for this reason.
The town is full of newly built houses and more buildings under construction.
Every blade of grass and every tree here is full of vitality.
This was Tianyang’s first feeling after arriving in the town.
Compared to two months ago, Tianyang's expression became more solemn and he hadn't smiled for a long time.
And in the past two months, he has been traveling all over the place.
Never returned to Crescent Bay, not even once.
Now.
He saw in a 'branch of destiny' that he would meet the recorder in this town today.
This was why he came to town. Even though this time, it might be in vain.
But Tianyang still didn't want to miss it.
He seized every opportunity.
It's a pity that those so-called 'opportunities' ultimately ended in failure.
Based on the scenes seen in the "Branch of Fate", Tianyang knew that he would meet the recorder in a blue-roofed building in the town.
Tianyang quickly found the building.
This is the only place with blue roofs in the whole town.
This is a book room.
Book houses, both in the old fortresses and now, are very rare.
The advent of electronic tablets has long replaced books.
So when Tianyang saw the bookstore, he felt both surprised and normal.
Isn't it normal for the 'God of Knowledge' to linger in a bookstore
Tianyang walked towards the study.
There was an orange cat outside the bookstore door, lazily stretching itself in the sun. Suddenly, the orange cat flashed, briefly changed into a stream of information, and then reunited into an orange cat.
Tianyang glanced at the cat and pushed open the door of the study.
I saw someone sorting books inside.
It's an old man.
recorder.
Tian Yang looked around and said, "Could this library be your 'Temple of Knowledge'?"
The recorder was putting a thick book into the bookshelf. Hearing this, he laughed: "How is that possible?"
"I am just a shadow. I dare not separate my essence and embed it into my clone like you did. That is too risky."
Tianyang took out a book and took a look at it.
This is a novel.
The name is "Edge of Doom", which is strangely similar to the current situation.
"It's a pity that you didn't fall for it."
"I originally thought that you would be willing to take the risk." Tianyang put the novel back.
The recorder came down from the ladder and said, "Chi Yi is indeed planning to take a risk, but I told him to give up the idea."
"After all, waiting for the Black Disaster to be completely completed is the safest and most prudent approach, don't you think?"
Tianyang looked at the old man for a long time.
After a while, he said, "Do I have no chance of winning?"
The recorder smiled and asked back: "From the moment the 'Black Disaster' appeared, you already had no chance of winning."
"Didn't you see this in 'River of Destiny'?"
PS: Regarding the new book, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be launched on Zongheng Chinese website on the 8th.
There should be no accidents, right
