Survivorship Bias

Chapter 96: Sisyphus

Views:

The moment she was completely torn apart by Noah's power, Shen Ti recovered all her memories.

The so-called Noah, no, he has his own name - Razas Mcheyasi. In terms of bloodlines, they are brothers of compatriots, but he has always been in disagreement with this brother, and they have been mutually exclusive from the moment of birth.

He is the master of time and space, with an omniscient observation perspective, any action will lead to the birth of a parallel universe, so he has always stayed in his own independent universe.

There are space-time barriers enough to isolate everything here. He maintains the balance and orderly progress of time here, and is a lonely observer.

But his elder brother Rathasm is different. He takes the entropy value of other creatures in the universe as nutrients, and he is in charge of chaos, and has the pleasure of raising low-dimensional creatures, such as human beings.

But Lasasmus was repeatedly stopped by Shen Ti.

Because he can see the future of human beings. Among the many parallel timelines, the future of a certain line interfered by Rassam is the cruelest future.

Lives are in ruins, and the end is coming.

In order to stop Rathasm, he deliberately targeted the human group, and used his omniscient power to observe the group of creatures trapped in the timeline. Life, old age, sickness and death, fleeting time, time is cruel to them and treats them equally.

When he stared at one of the human beings, all the possibilities that this human being folded at this moment unfolded one by one, extending the timelines of different parallel universes, with a past and a completely different future.

But at one point, he noticed someone.

This man is different from everyone else, and his timeline doesn't automatically unfold to him.

So he noticed this person, a boy, and he used his power to forcibly unfold the boy's many timelines.

Originally, he should not and cannot interfere with human beings. After all, the intervention of high-dimensional life forms is likely to cause huge disasters to the low-latitude world.

But he did it anyway. But in order to avoid disaster, he only unfolded the past, the boy's past, because for human beings, the past is irreversible.

In this way, through the barriers of time and space, he saw the situation of the boy when he was born. It was a complete mess. His mother was still working at the moment before giving birth, and was sent to the hospital until she was completely unable to stand. It was filled with harsh human voices, like a chaotic hood, and finally, a cry of a human baby broke through the hood, indicating that he had come to this world.

He also saw the baby's father rushing in because of work delays, circling outside the delivery room. He couldn't understand this feeling, and likewise, he couldn't understand how the man shed tears when he saw the child.

It was boring at first, and he just watched it as a farce. After all, he had been alone in an isolated universe for too long, like being trapped in a small white room, receiving huge and boundless space-time information, and being able to see Seeing everything also means not wanting to see anything.

Finally, there was a human being who could interest him, although he didn't know why he became interested.

So, from the birth of this baby, he saw him learn to speak his first words, then he learned to walk awkwardly, he learned to run, and he met another newborn in the family.

The little boy stood outside the glass window, looking hard at his younger sister in the baby incubator, calling her in a low voice, with joy and novelty on his face as a first-time elder brother.

His father told him, "My sister is sleeping, and I will be able to pick her up in a few days. Then you have to take good care of her."

The boy nodded immediately, his small face was full of sincerity and responsibility.

He said: "I know, I will take care of my sister, and my sister will not be wronged in the future, I will protect her."

As an observer, he naturally wants to see the future of him and this little baby girl, as long as he expands his timeline, he can see it.

But he gave up because he was afraid that once he observed his future, he would change his future.

In this way, he continued to look at his past, and gradually learned about the family form of human beings. He knew that his surname was Shen, and his name was Shen An, which was the meaning given by his father. I hope he is safe.

He saw with his own eyes that Shen's father taught him how to read, asked him to write his own name, and told him, "This An character is not only your first name, but also your mother's surname."

The child nodded ignorantly and laughed, "Then I like this word." After finishing speaking, he looked at his father, "Dad, what word do you like best?"

The father at the desk pondered for a moment, clenched the pen in his hand, and carefully wrote down another word stroke by stroke.

"This word is so difficult." Xiao Shen An pointed.

"Read this word with vigilance, and be vigilant." He told his son, "This word is Dad's favorite word, and it is also the word Dad most hopes you can remember in your heart."

"Why?" He looked up.

His father said to him: "Because many things will happen in a person's life, both good and bad. Only by staying vigilant and fearful at all times can we live in peace."

After finishing speaking, he held his son's hand and led him to write the word again.

"It's actually very simple. Take the word apart, the left side is Xin, and the right side is Yi."

The little boy repeated, "Xin... Yi... I have learned it!" He tucked into his father's arms obediently, and told him, "I will like Tizi the most in the future!"

vigilant.

As an observer, he also learned this word, as well as the child's surname.

Immersed in observing other people's lives, he has gained a lot of things that he has never felt before, and he has never been able to understand. Human beings, these two words, are not just a low-dimensional creature to him, but endowed with more much meaning.

So when he knew about Rathasim's invasion plan, he stopped it without hesitation and decided to seal him up.

He couldn't see the future of Rathasmus, but he knew that if he continued to expand, who was trying to devour all the entropy of the universe, there would definitely be no good ending.

In order not to affect other universes, he opened up a new independent universe to fight with them, but their strength is equal, the battle almost destroyed everything in this independent universe, and Rasasm's power smashed the space-time barrier he set up , if this continues, they will destroy other universes.

So, he used all his strength to seal Rathasm and put it into the 3.5 dimension between their dimension and the human dimension, which is also called the land of no man.

Here is like an endless desert, everything is nothingness, chaotic balance, unable to generate chaos, and therefore unable to provide brother with the entropy that can restore his strength.

But he who sealed his elder brother was also branded with eternal punishment and fell into the abyss of time and space.

His brother's strength made him keep falling, falling.

The abyss of time and space will dissipate the power that sucks him, and create the punishment that scares him the most. At the beginning, he has no vacancy that can be cut, so the initial punishment is just an endless fall.

What he didn't know was that the sealed Rathasm hadn't been completely cut off from the outside world.

When human beings thought that they had invented new cosmic technology and sent communication signals to other galaxies, Lasasm's free power particles received all of this, so he launched another invasion plan, which was also his recovery plan.

He uses his own free particles to plant a foreshadowing in human technology that can revive him. Gradually, Rathasm transferred his power and used technology as a carrier to invade. He tried many human clones, but all failed, and some humans noticed his existence.

The ancient gods used technological products to occupy human bodies and brains in a viral invasion mode, forcing them to become believers.

This is unacceptable to those human beings, and they created an innovation plan for this purpose, the original meaning is to resist the invasion of God.

But in the end, Rathasm successfully invaded the first human body, that is, Russell, the leader of Chauvin.

This allowed him to directly grasp the weapon against him.

Shen Siyuan, the leader of the innovation project, was destroyed by him with a book, and other people in the same group also died one by one.

Shen An saw with his own eyes that his father, in order to resist the god in his mouth, raised a dagger and ended his own life. He didn't know that one day in the future, he would make the same decision as his father.

When he was young, he knew nothing, but got the book left by his father.

In fact, even his father couldn't turn the book smoothly, because it was an item under the control of divine power, but Shen An easily opened it.

He didn't know that there were marks on his body that had been observed by God.

Also on that night, this young life summoned a powerful god.

The God, who was constantly falling without end, stopped falling and entered the real punishment.

The abyss of time and space found his only loophole, or rather, the only concern of this lonely god.

Using this point, the abyss of time and space creates a huge cycle that goes round and round, and the starting point of the cycle is the moment when the child summons him.

What is the end point, he will know later.

Under the guidance of Lassam, the innovation plan gradually became a slaughterhouse for technological madmen. Countless experimental products were pushed in, pushed out again, and burned to the ground.

And the instigator controls Russell, watching all this with a cold eye, because he needs the extreme emotions of these experimental subjects, needs entropy, the more the better.

When Rathasm realized that this entropy, together with all the chaos of human society, would not be enough to fill his sealed powers, he resolved to create a slaughterhouse for him to feed on, a paradise for his recovery.

Russell took over the game plan and created the altar under divine power. Here, the law of the jungle where the weak prey on the strong is followed, death, loss, betrayal, failure... All these continuously create chaotic entropy, allowing him to recover bit by bit.

However, he who sticks out of the abyss of time and space cannot escape the punishment of the cycle. He is summoned to follow Shen An to spend every day, see his broken family after losing his father, witness his almost crazy mother self-harm, and attend the funeral with him. Also accompany him to bury the dead Nightingale alone.

He accompanied Shen An through his gray childhood, witnessed his separation from his mother and sister, saw how he survived every day of the experiment with strength, watched him being broken into pieces, and glued together bit by bit.

Until later, Shen An became An Wujiu, the boy he had participated in every minute and every second of his life, and became a perfect experimental product.

An Wujiu was thrown into the altar, and he became the brand on An Wujiu's body, accompanying him through the life-and-death hurdles, step by step towards the finish line.

Until the end, when An Wugui died.

Only then did he discover that An Wujiu's death was the trigger point for the next cycle.

So, Shen Ti went through the pain of An Wujiu's childhood over and over again, and witnessed An Wujiu's death time and time again. He couldn't even recall how many times he had gone through this cycle, and the various ways of death. The same dying scene, too painful.

Every time he enters a new cycle, he can feel An Wujiu's pain more deeply, and his omniscient power as a god is gradually blurred.

He couldn't see himself as an audience, the tragedies repeated again and again, he couldn't stay out of it, he knew what would happen in the next moment, but he couldn't let An Wujiu avoid every pain in the future.

This great sense of powerlessness engulfed him like sea water.

It turned out that this was punishment.

After countless cycles, An Wujiu left again and died right in front of him, and he didn't even have the hands to hold him up.

The second An Wujiu lost his heartbeat, he knew that he would repeat the cycle again.

But he doesn't want to, at least not as a useless god.

Even if it is a butterfly that can only rest on his shoulder for a short time, as long as it can touch him and comfort him, as long as it is not watching, it is not impossible to do anything.

This powerful desire materialized his power into a new physical form, a human being.

It is a human image shaped by An Wujiu's invisible influence through countless cycles.

But he used up what little power he had left, just to be a human being. And the human body can't carry the omniscient memory as the master of time at all, so he forgot.

I don't even remember that I am in a cycle.

The moment he woke up as a human being, he didn't know anything. When someone asked his name politely, two words popped up in his mind.

Shen Ti.

"My name is Shen Ti."

When he came to the altar, he was still alone, and no one here could connect with him, no matter who it was. He was regarded as a mental patient, and he was also isolated. He was forced to learn a lot of useless things, and gradually learned to adapt to the human community and learn to imitate ordinary people.

But that's not him, Shen Ti knows.

None of those people mattered.

Until he met An Wujiu again, in a game.

They met as rivals, and Shen Ti discovered that he was that special person who could affect his emotions.

But he forgot that he was in the cycle, and that one day, he would face An Wujiu's death.

In getting along with An Wujiu, Shen Ti gradually recovered his strength.

He started to dream, the content of the dream was roughly similar, it was An Wujiu's death.

Finally, Shen Ti recovered part of his memory.

He foresaw the death that An Wujiu would face in this cycle.

But he didn't expect that it wasn't just him who regained his strength, but also Rasasm.

This time, An Wujiu's death was different from the past, but directly met the recovering Lasasm, that is, Noah.

Noah sees the future of An Wujiu through the regained omniscient ability, so he decides to go back to the past ahead of time, kill the young An Wujiu, to obliterate his existence, and take a step forward to obliterate the encounter between him and Shen Ti.

In this way, his younger brother will not betray him because of a human being, and he will not be sealed and control the entire universe.

In the final battle, Shen Ti discovered that Rasasm had disappeared, leaving only a number of clones to fight with them.

He had guessed the other party's plan, and he knew very well that if he wanted to succeed, he might have to go back to An Wujiu's past, prevent Rasasm from hurting An Wujiu, and let him survive.

Just like that, Shen Ti's past omniscient perspective was instantly restored, and he saw An Wujiu's childhood on the timeline.

But when he looked up the timeline, Rasasm, who had traveled back, had already made an attack, and blood splashed across the barrier of time and space on Shen Ti's face, between his brows, and his earlobes.

Shen Ti, who was originally observing, went back to the past, reincarnated into his own body again, and used the ability and strength of his body to repel Lasa Sim, and rescued An Wujiu at a critical moment.

But even though the childhood Shen An survived, he didn't survive for too long, and he didn't even enter the altar, but became a failure in Chauvin's experiment.

This is Shen Ti's penultimate reincarnation, the closest big reincarnation to him.

The opening of the last great cycle begins with An Wugui's death.

Shen Ti went through all that again, and met An Wujiu again, this time a little later, because the strength he recovered was exhausted by fighting with Rassam in the last cycle.

Fortunately, An Wujiu seemed to be a bit late.

Just like the previous big cycle, they met, fought, competed, and then fell in love with each other.

Shen Ti couldn't think of anything about reincarnation, how he was like Sisyphus, constantly reincarnated in punishment.

He is like an ordinary person, feeling warmth and love.

And on the morning of October 24th, at the end of An Wujiu's third cycle, the torn Shen Ti recalled all his previous memories, including all the big cycles he had experienced.

At that moment, Shen Ti understood why An Wujiu was able to influence the altar, spawned copies of the altar server, and split parallel universes one by one, and also understood why only An Wujiu could travel between parallel universes and transcend time. Barriers, caught in a cycle of repeated rescues.

He also realized why he could hear An Wujiu's inner voice, feel all of An Wujiu's emotions, and empathize with him.

That's because I gave him my heart.

In every previous big cycle, when An Wujiu met Rasasm, he couldn't resist. How could ordinary human beings resist the power of God, even the incomplete power of God.

But what if he also had the power of a god

In the last cycle, everything that happened to An Wujiu was the "fruit" he planted.

But now, he has to go back and bury the original "cause", otherwise everything is just an empty observation and will not become a reality unless he succeeds.

Cause and effect reincarnation, the cycle repeats.

And he also realized that everything he experienced in the loop was the result of observation, an unsettled fact, and there were countless possibilities, just like the box that Schrödinger never opened, and wanted the cat inside to keep alive state, he must change it himself.

He wants to save An Wugui with the heart of God.

Therefore, before An Wujiu's fourth small cycle started, Shen Ti used An Wujiu's space-time card to exchange all his life points as a human being. Back when An Wujiu was killed, he worked hard to maintain the life of a human being. I hope Xiaoan Wujiu won't hate him.

But this time going back to the past is not just observation, he will go back to before An Wujiu summoned him, at that time, his father was still alive.

This point in time means that he is still the complete evil god, the master of time and space, and Shen Ti's human form cannot be maintained for too long.

This time, An Wujiu, like the previous cycle, was killed by Rasasm, the human heart stopped beating, and he lay on the operating table, and the rescued doctor pronounced him dead.

As it should be.

But Shen Ti gave An Wujiu the heart of God, and also erased the memory of his meeting with him in advance.

As a result, An Wujiu was reborn, step by step towards the position of the savior.

Only in this way, everything can be strung together smoothly, An Wujiu survives successfully, survives to the end, can possess his power, and seek the most perfect ending in the cycle again and again.

Only in this way can Shen Ti be reborn, reborn from his lover's body.

An Wujiu gave him a human name and gave him the meaning to go for it.

And Shen Ti went back to the past, saved him, and saved himself.

He is not only a godslayer, but also the only favor of gods.
