Chapter 385 Another Possibility of History

"Another world line?"

"The destroyed Seven Seas world?"

Hearing these words.

Even Shane, who thought he was mentally prepared, was still stunned.

"What does this mean?"

Lila seemed to have no idea where to start the explanation, so she asked.

"First of all, Captain Shane, do you know the meaning of world lines?"

Shane nodded.

In various science fiction works that he had come into contact with in his previous life, there was such a concept.

And different world lines often refer to...

The result of a major event in history, which led to different endings for the world.

For example.

If Shane refused Joey's request to board the ship when he first went to sea.

There would be a world line in which Shane did not know Joey.

After that, there would be no intersection between his life and Joey's.

Of course.

Such personal trifles often do not affect the situation of the entire world.

But if there is a deviation in those crucial events, the situation will be very different.

For example...

The world line in which the Fire King failed to prevent the flood from coming!

Seeing that Shane understood what she meant, Leila spoke.

"Captain Shane, have you ever thought about..."

"In another possibility of history, the Fire King not only failed to prevent the arrival of the world-destroying flood, but also failed to reduce its power."

"As a result, the world-destroying flood washed away the [Seven Seas World] without reservation."

"The sea level of the entire world reached an incredible height."

Leila said with a serious expression, as if she had witnessed such a scene with her own eyes.

"In that world, even the number of islands is very few, which can be called a real 'blue water world'."

"This also means the complete extinction of human civilization."

"Even if there are still some survivors in that world."

"But because the number is too small and they are gradually dying out, it can no longer be considered a complete civilization."

"This is what I mean by the destroyed [Seven Seas World]."

Hearing this, Shane couldn't help holding his breath.

I have to admit.

The other possibility mentioned by Leila does exist.

After all, in Shane's opinion.

The fact that the Cinder King sealed the flood was an incredible feat.

In this link, if there is any problem, it may lead to the collapse of the plan.

But soon.

Another question popped up in Shane's mind.

If the [Eternal Coffin] is a relic of another world line.

Then how did Leila know the existence of another world line and get this [Eternal Coffin]?

Shane simply asked Leila this question directly.

In this regard, Leila explained.

"Actually, I don't know the specific reason."

"But when I was promoted to Legend, I felt vaguely that there was something in the [Secret Sea] calling me."

"So, after performing a complex and precise ritual."

"I successfully summoned that thing, and this is the origin of this [Eternal Coffin]."

"When I touched this coffin, the corresponding information automatically emerged in my mind."

"That's how I learned about the existence of another world line."

"As for why this [Eternal Coffin] called me..."

"I think it may have something to do with me in that world line?"

"So that's it."

Shayne thought.

Although Leila's words still sounded a bit far-fetched, most people probably wouldn't believe it at all.

But Shane thought that what he said was the truth.

If another world line really exists.

Then, Leila in that world would definitely try every means to prevent the disaster from coming before the [Seven Seas World] was destroyed.

And this [Eternal Coffin] is most likely her last legacy.

Thinking of this, Shane couldn't help but ask.

"Leila, have you ever heard of the name Vivian?"

Leila's expression was a little strange, and she asked in confusion.

"Vivian... isn't this our family's surname?"

"You mean, someone uses it as a name?"

"If that's the case, it's probably just a code name or a pseudonym, right?"

Shane frowned slightly and asked again.

"Then what about the Witch of Destruction?"

Leila was also puzzled.

"The Witch of Destruction, what is that?"

"It sounds like a powerful character."

After getting such an answer, Shane's brows frowned even deeper.

He thought he could learn about Vivian's origins from Leila.

But now it seems that even Leila doesn't know Vivian's true identity?

Looking at Shane's change in expression, Leila said after thinking.

"I don't know who the Vivian you're talking about is now."

"But if it's another me created by [Da Yan], maybe I can give you the answer you want?"

Hearing this, Xia En slightly widened his eyes and said in surprise.

"You even know the existence of [Da Yan]?"

It's no wonder that Xia En was so surprised.

You can say that.

The Leila in front of him and the other people in this memory scene are equivalent to the NPCs created by [Da Yan].

In theory, it will only act according to certain patterns and memories.

The previous Fire King only vaguely sensed the abnormality of the space he was in, which surprised Shane.

At this time, Leila even knew the existence of [Da Yan].

This is equivalent to a character suddenly breaking the dimensional wall in a preset game and saying the name of the game maker.

How could Shane not be shocked?

Leila smiled and explained.

"In fact, I can know this because of [Eternal Coffin]."

"There is a certain characteristic that transcends time and space in this relic."

"This also makes it an [anchor] of memory."

"The other me created by [Da Yan] left this information in [Eternal Coffin], allowing me to know their existence and the truth of this space."

"The other you?"

Shane repeated this sentence subconsciously and quickly came to his senses.

That's right.

Since Leila once appeared in [Da Yan Country].

Then, it is very likely that she will appear in other memory scenes.

Moreover, due to the different time periods of different memory scenes.

Each Leila has different memories.

Perhaps, those Leilas who are later in time will know Vivian's true identity.

To be honest, Shane still has many questions in his mind.

But the situation at this time obviously does not allow him to ask all the questions.

Suddenly.

Boom! ! !

A dull loud noise suddenly came from the top of everyone's head.

Then, the ground under people's feet and the surrounding walls began to shake.

It was like a terrible earthquake.

"What is this?"

Shane's expression immediately became very solemn.

He could feel that such a vibration was somewhat familiar.

This is not only the vibration of this underground research, but also the entire memory space, which is irreversibly collapsing.

But the problem is.

They haven't destroyed the node of this scene yet?

Leila saw Shane's doubts and explained.

"This is probably because the invasion of those members of the Truth Society has attracted the attention of the Great Flame."

"Not only that, the confrontation of unfamiliar legendary forces will also attract His attention."

When Xia En heard this, he immediately understood.

The Dream Butterfly technology used by the Truth Society is indeed extraordinary.

But it is obviously not without any limitations.

To put it simply.

The Great Flame is not really unable to detect their arrival, but it just takes a certain amount of time to react.

On the other hand.

The restrictions of the Great Flame on legends mentioned by Moritz earlier are also reflected at this time.

A correct version of the book in 16-9!

It can allow beings below the sixth level to enter.

But it is wary of legendary strongmen.

This is probably because the legendary secret pather may already pose a threat to Him.

Think about it carefully.

The reason why Augustine B5's state seems abnormal.

It seems that it is because she was forcibly promoted to the legendary realm after entering the Great Flame.

And not directly descended in the legendary realm.

But even so, his fight with Leila still aroused the vigilance of [Da Yan].

Coupled with the presence of [Truth Society] members, this memory scene collapsed at this time

At this time, Jane stepped forward.

She first glanced at Leila, who was obviously an elf in front of her with a beautiful appearance, and then looked at Shane and said seriously.

"Captain Shane, it's time to eliminate the node of this scene."

Shane fell into a brief silence.

He naturally understood what Jane meant.

The moment Leila appeared, the [Fire] in his arms immediately had an unusually obvious change.

The scorching temperature continued to accumulate in the wooden box, as if to burn Shane's skin.

With the experience of facing the Fire King before.

Shane didn't know that Leila in front of him was the key node of this memory scene.

However.

Shane still wanted to ask her more questions and spend more time with her.

That's why he didn't state his intentions at the first time.

But now.

Jane took the initiative to say this, no doubt hoping that he could make a decision as soon as possible.

Don't waste precious time and put them in danger.

Shane saw Jane's intention.

He also understood that this was not the time to reminisce about the past.

The wisest choice is to eliminate the node in front of you as soon as possible.

But rationality is rationality.

When I thought that I finally saw Leila again, I had to say goodbye immediately.

This feeling is really melancholy.

At this time, Leila took the initiative to speak.

"You came here to destroy the undead [Da Yan], right?"

"Shaen, don't hesitate anymore."

"Besides, didn't I promise you?"

"I will definitely meet you again in the future, and it will never be in this old phantom posture, but a real reunion with you in reality."

"So, don't worry, don't be sad, please keep moving forward and complete your mission."

As she said, Leila gently pushed the [Eternal Coffin] forward.

"Although this [Eternal Coffin] is just a fake created by [Da Yan]."

"But there are also marks left by me on it."

"Perhaps, you can use this as an [anchor point] to find me in other memory scenes."

"That's all I can do."

Looking at Leila's calm and gentle expression.

Shayne sighed in his heart, but he also gathered his distracting thoughts, no longer hesitated, and took out the [Spark] directly from his arms.

Push forward gently.

In the light of the [Spark].

Leila's body gradually faded, as if it was constantly melting and fading, showing a translucent texture.

She waved gently at Xia En and whispered.

"We...see you in the future."

After a while.

Leila's figure disappeared, and Xia En felt empty in his heart.

Even though he knew that Leila in front of him was not her real body.

But seeing Leila disappear with his own eyes did not make him feel relieved.

Thinking of this, Xia En turned his head and looked at An Bing not far away, with a look of sympathy in his eyes.

Perhaps not long ago.

Seeing the Fire King disappear, An Bing also had similar feelings, right?

But now, it is obviously not the time to be sentimental.

Because, with the disappearance of Leila.

This scene lost its supporting node.

The vibration that had occurred before became more and more intense.

Cracks began to emerge from the dome of the hall.

Small stones kept falling from above.

Xia En suddenly showed a solemn look.

Obviously, this underground research institute is already in danger and on the verge of collapse at any time.

And it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to escape from the research institute under such circumstances.

But at this time.

Xia En suddenly remembered what Leila said before she disappeared.

"【Eternal Coffin】...【Anchor Point】..."

Xia An opened his eyes wide, suddenly realized something, and said to everyone.

"Come here, stay by my side."

Jane also noticed it and looked at the 【Eternal Coffin】 with a gap in front of him.

When An Bing also came to his side.

Shane reached out and gently opened the lid of the [Eternal Coffin].

The next moment.

An irresistible attraction came out from it.

Shane and others were sucked into the coffin.

When he opened his eyes again.

The world around him had completely changed.

After a brief dizziness disappeared.

Shane opened his eyes and began to look around.

He saw that the scene nearby was no longer a cold underground hall.

It was a town on the surface.

It can be seen that the state of this town is quite primitive and simple.

Under the gray sky, there is a randomly laid stone road.

On both sides of the road, houses made of stones stand crookedly.

There is only hay as a filler in the gap, which looks extremely shabby.

There are very few pedestrians on the street.

At this time, two residents happened to come towards them.

The two people were pale and thin, wearing tattered animal skins, and their faces were red from the cold.

As if they noticed the arrival of "Xia En".

Both of them immediately showed alert and strange expressions on their faces.

"Who are you?"

"What are you carrying behind you?"

...Huh?

Xia En was slightly stunned.

He shouldn't be carrying anything behind him.

After thinking about it carefully, Xia En suddenly realized that the situation was unusual.
