"fatalism?"

Zero shook his head and said, "What Barrister Rosen wants to argue is not the theory of invariable fate. What he really wants to express is the complexity and diversity of things. For example, in an infinite cycle of time and space, if a point is determined, then we can obtain countless methods to lead to this point. There are three processes, causes, process and results in the development of things. If we determine one of them, then the remaining two points have infinite possibilities. Generally speaking, the first thing we determine is the cause, and then the event will continue to develop."

"Although Bachelor Rosen's theory cannot be argued, under the assumption, he seems to have obtained a perfect and complex answer. However, the world is far more complex and diverse than his theory, with too many uncertainties. I have learned prophecy. In short, prophecy is to infer the direction of events through the cause. The more details you know, the more accurate the prophecy will be. It can be said that if I am a god and know everything in the world, then I can even foresee the entire process from the beginning to the destruction of the world. Bachelor Rosen's biggest mistake is that he fixed the cause and also bound the result, achieving or not achieving it, and there are only two points left. The only thing that truly expands infinitely is the process." Zero said slowly.

Astoria was silent for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean. A scholar in later generations studied the theory proposed by Rosen. He gave the same conclusion as you. Rosen's theory is not accurate, but he simply overturned Rosen's theory and did not put forward his own opinions."

"The details of this world are infinite. No point can be determined by us in advance, whether it is the cause, the process or the result. Only when it is truly born will it be observed by us. I have also proposed a theory, for example, although I am standing here now, there must be another possibility before this. Maybe I failed, or maybe I died before coming."

Zero said this and stretched out his right hand, compared it with a scissor-shaped gesture, and continued, "In a nutshell, I could make many different gestures in theory, but when I finally decided, those different possibilities were annihilated. Only true birth is reality. Before birth, whether it is the cause, the process or the result, it is infinitely extended."

"What you mean is that this world is the only but infinitely extended. Every moment, an infinite world is annihilated by different choices, and there is also an infinite world that arises, and birth and death are repeated over and over again, and finally the only reality of existence is determined. But your theory is like Bachelor Rosen, and it cannot be argued. It only exists in your hypothesis. Do you say you?" Astoria suddenly realized something halfway through his speech, but if this conjecture is true, it would be too crazy.

"His Excellency Astoria, although you have lived for hundreds of years, have you ever truly seen the power of time? I have seen the hourglass sealed in my body, which took away too much of me, but also gave me an opportunity to truly understand time. The infinite cycle of time and space is not impossible, but it is far from being able to do it with my current power alone, so I came to find it. I need the power of the Heavenly Fox to delay death, but what I need more is the apple swallowed by it. I promised Qiu that the three chances of correction are actually exaggerated. It is impossible for me to directly reverse the trend of the ending. To some extent, what I can do is very limited, even tiny." Zero said calmly.

"The butterflies flap their wings in the south, and hurricanes in the north are endless. What you call limited is probably what you mean. Do you want to eventually change the direction of the ending through the influence of the details?" Astoria said tentatively.

"It's you, yes, but it's easy to say, but it's actually very difficult to implement it. I don't know what can affect the direction of the ending. Maybe it's a person, maybe it's a stone, there must be a cause and effect, and vice versa. Everything in the world must comply with the law of cause and effect, and there will be no contradictory things. This is an iron law, and ordinary people cannot violate it. Based on this, what I can do is probably very limited. Of course, the above are just my subjective inferences."

"Inferred? Madman, you and Qiu are essentially madmen, but now it seems that you are much crazy than him. The inheritance of spiritual path for millions of years has never really touched the realm of time. As you said, the details of this world are infinite. Even if you understand time, what can you do if you deny the current reality? How can you ensure that the direction of the ending will follow?

Your wishes are just another unknown, perhaps a far worse ending than it is now.”

Astoria has no concrete concept of time. Although he has lived for a long time, time is like something that does not exist at all for him. The aging of creatures, the alternation of food, and the alternation of seasons. Is it really because of time?

He once suspected that perhaps all this should be like this, there was never any time in this world. The birth and death of all things are just natural laws. The so-called time is just a reference object. If there is something that is immortal and never changes, then time will no longer exist for it.

"Non the current reality? No, you are wrong. It is not me who denies the current reality, but the world itself. The so-called correction is to gradually erase those displeasing endings through the influence of details. What I have to do is to change the direction of the law of cause and effect as much as possible. This is very costly. If I fail, I will lead the ending to a worse side. Please don't laugh at me. I have not failed in my true sense in my life. Please forgive me for not explaining the wording of failure."

Zero's confidence never gives people a sense of arrogance, as if he had known the ending in advance, just like the theory proposed by Bachelor Rosen, when he decided to do something, the result of that thing was already destined, and the cause and process were no longer important.

"Is time what exactly is it?" Astoria completely let go of his arrogance, like a student who humbly asked the teacher.

"The past, present, and future, all of these are not divided by time in our concept. Just like the concept of up, down, left and right, the direction is not absolute, it depends on your subjective feeling. The world itself has no distinction between up, down, and past, and future. We call yesterday the past time. This is a big mistake. It has always existed and never disappeared. In other words, the past, present, and future actually exist at the same time and are related to each other. If one of them does not exist, then the remaining two will be annihilated accordingly." Zero explained.

"This is inconsistent with what you said before. On the one hand, you say that while making a choice, other possibilities will be annihilated. But before reality is determined, cause and effect extend infinitely, that is, the future is not determined. But now you tell me that the past, present and future exist at the same time, that is, everything is doomed?" Astoria raised his own doubts.

"This is where time is truly difficult to understand. The past, present and future are unique but infinite. The only difference is whether it has become a reality in your eyes. The so-called possibility of annihilation does not disappear, but it does not exist for you and me. Just like we cannot walk on two different roads, there are countless roads in this world, but there is only one under our feet. To put it simply, we exist in the past, present and future at the same time. Because of infinite details and countless staggered points, countless pasts have been born in this river of time, and countless us are also present and future."

"So what are you going to do?"

Astoria was silent. For the first time, he felt that his understanding ability was a bit lacking, or his imagination was insufficient.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but according to the notes left by that man, the sand of time sealed in me can reverse time. It may not be appropriate to say that. It can bring my consciousness back from the present to another me at a certain point in the future. If I can change the past, then everything that is born now and the future will be reconstructed by the changes in the past. In other words, I may be able to adjust the final direction of the timeline I am in with the sand of time."

Zero rarely uses this unsure statement, after all, the statement that consciousness travels through time simply subverts the inherent common sense of human beings, but it does exist, just like the one written in that note, but for some reason, a time traveler disappeared, leaving only the sand of time, apple, core and a note. These things have led to a large-scale space-time abnormality.

The four seasons are alternately and fickle. Some old people return to their youth, some young people are old in one day, some are still plowing the ground, but suddenly wake up from the bed. But what is even more strange is that no one in that town shows abnormality, as if everything is reasonable. If the people from the Star Moon Council had not passed by by chance, they left here.

After being reminded by someone, I am afraid that the residents of that town still live in the turbulence of time and space.

"That note Qiu has mentioned it to me, but have you ever thought about where the owner of this note went? You just mastered the sand of time, but he also owned three things related to the realm of time. How could such a person be unknown? He can get everything he wants with this power, but why did he finally leave only one note? Don't you think it's a bit unreasonable? Changing the past is probably not as easy as you said."

Although Astoria had never read that note, Qiu's face was not very good when she mentioned this matter to him. In Qiu's words, not everyone can easily touch the realm of time. The person is likely to be completely lost in the endless turbulence of time and will never come back.

"I understand, but I have to go." Zero said after a while of silence.
