Chapter 290 Fairy Tale Movie and a Better Tomorrow

"Have you heard of fairy tales? They are all living things with a certain degree of self-awareness, or they may be non-living things. In short, they are the most beautiful stories they can know in their childhood."

"Rich imagination, fantasy and exaggeration, then write them."

Mr. Big Bad Wolf arranged the guests from the Fourth Epoch to the corresponding seats. At this time, the people of the Fourth Epoch found that when they entered the door, although they felt that there were many people in the hall, the sense of space was really limited. But when they came to their seats, they looked around and were surprised to find that they were full of moviegoers on all sides, and these people were almost endless.

"The space here is folded!"

No one can perceive space more clearly than the saints from the Fourth Epoch. After all, these people are constantly repairing in the abyss of time. In order to keep civilization alive, they don’t know how many times they have compressed that city!

"What, you mean there is someone on top of me, and I am sitting on someone else's body?"

"That's probably what it means."

The Red Spirit Warrior was very surprised, and the Mist Saint explained to him that space folding is simply to fold a piece of paper into three layers, so that the three layers of paper will be in the same position and will not interact with each other, because everyone is in a flat state on the paper, not through the paper.

Of course, it can be folded more, after all, space itself is not the same as paper, and space has overlapping properties.

"No, no, no, your seat is your seat. Even if you are at the same coordinates, you do not exist in the same space, so you are not sitting on someone else's body, and no one is sitting on your head."

Mr. Big Bad Wolf said, "Please feel free to watch the movie. This cinema was funded by several churches. You should believe in the strength of the churches in this era."

And Xia, who was sitting next to the Red Spirit Warrior, asked curiously, "You said we provided you with value. What do you mean?"

"I am the God of Stories. Everything in the Fourth Epoch is like a story to me. This is because your era is connected to our era. I like everything you have experienced. Oh, it's not quite accurate to say this. Anyway, you finally got a good ending, and I am happy for you."

After Mr. Big Bad Wolf finished speaking, the movie began to play on the screen in the viewing hall.

For the saints of the Fourth Epoch, they have a lot of knowledge. After all, they come from the fantasy of different lives in different timelines about the same thing. They have a lot of technology. They can be said to be comparable to gods in their own fields, but for art, the view of the Abyss of Time is that these are useless information.

Indeed, these things cannot allow civilization to continue in the abyss of time, and naturally they are the first junk information to be discarded. In the distant past, the various civilizations that arrived at the abyss of time may have had a variety of art forms and rich and moving emotions, but after a long period of wear and tear, not to mention these arts and emotions, even their modeling is almost lost.

At this point, art and emotions are not needed at all.

So, when seeing the power of art again, the saints, and some of the resurrected who followed them here, they all felt a surge of nostalgia in their hearts.

Strange, where does that emotion come from?

Is it the distant past, some remnants left before the decline of civilization?

The light and shadow change in front of the eyes. The story told by this movie is not a difficult story to understand. It is just a memory of childlike innocence and ideals, and a journey of pursuit of spiritual freedom.

The perspective is pulled away, and there is a limited world of high-rise buildings. Although those buildings are tall, they have no characteristics. They are lined up in rows and rows. Although they are different in height, they look like rectangular building blocks one after another from a distance, quietly stacked in this world.

Then, the people living in this world have images similar to stick figures, but they are more robust, as if they have lost their appearance and only have a basic skeleton. But even so, they still have simple facial features and different clothes representing their identities.

Their movements are a bit stiff, and their speech is too rigid, just like the machine translation that will make a lot of mistakes when translating languages. At first, the audience thought it was a broadcast accident, but of course when another voice-over appeared, they realized that people in this world speak like this.

Stiff, dull, and lifeless, if this can effectively express the meaning of something, it would be fine, but in fact, those words are often nonsense and extremely empty. Fortunately, these nonsense only exist in the background and finally become indistinguishable unknown whispers.

The main sound at this time has changed to voice-over.

Then, the audience saw that the perspective was gradually pulled away, and the voice-over was not a narration, but a child, who was also a rough model of light black. He wore gray-red coarse fiber clothes, with large trouser legs, and looked like a smelter.

A person without ideals, a child who was unwilling to leave the border.

The voice-over was his inner monologue. He seemed to think more than ordinary children, just a little at first, and then gradually more and more.

The child was called "Titanium", which is the name of a metal in this world.

His father is a smelter in the smelting area, his mother is a smelter, and his grandfather is also a smelter. This seems to be some kind of forced setting. They don’t know why the world is like this, they only know that the world has been like this before, what they do is what people have been doing repeatedly since ancient times, and they will continue like this from now on.

There is no need to change, because this is good, everyone has their own "position", which cannot be crossed, and cannot exceed their own settings.

The beginning of the movie is plain and depressing, but the "border wall" that appears at the border of the horizon at that moment makes the audience feel a little depressed.

But when the camera switches and comes to a higher place, you will find that even the sky has boundaries and limited heights.

People living in the boundless world, seeing the gray high walls that exist in all directions, naturally think of the word prison, but people who already live in the prison-like worldview, in their cognition, it is normal for the world to have boundaries.

For the saints, they have strange emotions.

As the protectors imagined by various civilizations, from the endless future to the end of all time, they clearly know that the world is boundless. However, they were born in the boundless world, but they must let the descendants of all civilizations survive in a small shelter.

Outside are endless ashes and sand seas. The ashes of time are piled in the dark boundless world. Once lost in it without the protection of fire, they will immediately be assimilated by the darkness and the sand sea.

Isn't the boundless darkness a boundary? The vast ashes and the sand of time are also high walls.

"This is like a box for social experiments." Someone whispered, staring.

The movie is still going on. These children who were given shots in the early stage have no interaction in their lives. They are more like machines than iron men. The trajectories of action are accurately defined. It seems that even life and action routes are restricted by "invisible boundaries".

The political children who live in the ruling area and are "selected" to be the ruling class are a special group of people. They are completely different from their parents. They come from various regions and receive unified "rule science" training here. Their duty is to keep this world going.

In the prayer area, the child of the priest who has been baptized and fixed as a religious class, he looks at the book of God in his hand, empty and repetitive, and recites the contents of the book without any piety.

Living in the manufacturing area, the child of a taciturn repairman, his shop is full of various machine parts and electronic components.

Living in the slums, there is no ideal actor child. He performs funny performances at the border of the slums with his father every day according to a fixed process. He often performs a little knight who lies all the time.

"Ruler, priest, mechanic, performer, smelter."

The camera turns, and a day passes.

When the child named Titanium went to the work area as usual, he looked up and accidentally saw an incredible scene.

A dream butterfly flew over from the other side of the border, and then it disappeared in a flash.

The butterfly was torn apart by some unknown force, but that touch of color seemed to have cut through the gray sky with clear boundaries and oppressive heights.

This scene impacted his outlook on life.

Is there another world outside the borders of the world?

Where did the butterfly come from?

So Titanium told his parents and everyone he met, but no one listened to him. The child thought they would refute, but those people were very confused, as if the "words" the child said were something they could not understand.

Precisely because they did not understand, there was neither agreement nor refutation. These people were not willing to think about the child's nonsense, although the child was saying some strange words that they could not hear and understand.

So Titanium decided to go to the border to take a look in person. Even if he did not go over, he could just go to the edge of the border and stick his head out to look around the gray high wall. That would always be fine.

Titanium felt his mind clear.

He took out a short sword by the stove. It was the first "weapon" he made. Titanium chose a good leather scabbard for this weapon. He put on his hat and carried a large cloth backpack.

Titanium set off with a long sword, still wearing his iron smelting work clothes, like a down-and-out warrior in a hurry.

However, when he came to the border, he saw more children. It turned out that they all saw butterflies that day, and the dreamy colors amazed everyone.

However, not all children saw the butterfly. I heard from others around that some people saw the butterfly with them, but did not choose to explore. They still lived their previous lives, while some people could not see the butterfly at all and showed the same confused expression.

Where did the butterfly come from?

The children did not know, but they all had the same emotion at this time.

Curiosity is the innate ability of life and the first step towards freedom and a vast world.

Then, the plot began to run wild and become cheerful.

The audience was immersed in this fairy tale movie. Of course, although this is a fairy tale movie, the various fantasy special effects shown in it are all masterpieces of priests and wizards. From the perspective of the plot, the subsequent content has some reversals in the traditional setting of the hero saving the world.

For example.

The vast land, the fantasy but poor town, the wolf king wearing a tattered crown, many people recognized that the wolf king was the god of stories.

Yes, the script has been revised long ago. As the black hand in the original plot, the setting of the elf king has changed. Mr. Big Bad Wolf personally played this role, turned the elf into a wolf, and acted as the guide for the children.

In the new plot, the wolf king is the child who once came to this world.

He also started from the old world and crossed the border. He told the children that he was once a brave man with dreams. He knocked down the enemy who once harmed the world, but was knocked down by another new enemy and deprived of his power.

He asked the children to help him and retrieve some important things for him. The curious children agreed to the wolf king without hesitation.

The subsequent plot is just as written in the middle of the script. The children crossed mountains and valleys, saw various kingdoms, and met different races.

But unlike the original script, the number of children became smaller and smaller during the journey.

The child who was good at ruling stopped at the Black and White Kingdom. He eliminated the disputes between the two kingdoms and became their new common ruler.

The child who was good at performing stayed in the Green Domain. He wanted to eat and dress well, so he became the knight of the Green Domain Princess and fulfilled his knight dream.

The child who was good at maintenance stayed in the City of the Sea, where people wanted to build a train across the sea.

The child who was good at praying and was a candidate priest, of course, stayed in the temple of the Sea of ​​Clouds. He was willing to pray for the new god and abandoned the classics of the old world.

They all found ways to realize their self-worth and were satisfied.

In the end, only Titanium, still as he was when he set out, wearing workers' clothes, holding a dagger, carrying a rough cloth backpack, singing and moving forward, arrived at the end of the mountains.

During this process, he met a dog-headed man, who said that he was a brave man who saved the world, and he was with the Wolf King. However, unlike the Wolf King, the dog-headed man was a native of this world.

So, Titanium had a new companion.

At the end of the distant mountains, there was a ferocious monster, which held a steel fork in one hand and the sun in the other. Since the monster came, the sun would never set again, so the world was out of balance. The land would become cracked and dry due to long-term exposure, the water on the surface gradually became smaller, a large amount of white salt appeared on the edge of the ocean, and the trees withered due to lack of water. On the contrary, on the other side of the earth, there was a long cold night due to the lack of sun.

The dog-headed man told Titanium that killing the monster and taking his heart would make the sun rise and set again, and that heart was what the Wolf King needed.

So, they fought hard to kill the monster played by the Cat God. When the monster fell, Titanium took the monster's heart, and the sun began to rise and fall again. Titanium wanted to take the shrunken heart away, but found that the soul of the Wolf King appeared beside the monster.

The monster is the Wolf King. A long time ago, the Wolf King lost his curiosity, indulged in dreams and made a wish as eternal as the sun. This wish was distorted and realized by the real enemy, thus giving birth to the eternal monster holding the sun.

This monster will not be killed by people in this world. Only new visitors from within the borders can kill him.

Now the monster is dead, the Wolf King is also dead, and the world is liberated.

"A brave man became a monster, the new brave man killed the old brave man, and so the world began to move forward."

The audience murmured at this time, and more than one person thought so. Although loud noises were not allowed in the cinema, after hearing the people around them say the same thing as themselves, the two looked at each other and said at the same time "Sure enough, you too?", they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

And there are also mages who recognize some "information" shown in this movie, such as curiosity.

The most important thing for the profession of mage is curiosity, and it is not just mages, but ordinary people as well.

Except for the first protagonist Titanium, the other children in this movie stopped at the place where they could realize their self-worth. They moved forward out of curiosity and found the place they should exist in the new world, which also changed their lives.

"One step forward is also moving forward, life is the same, although day after day, every day is still different from the previous day, and people can have the motivation to continue living only when there are new things."

"People have the desire to run towards a better life, and life always has a better side. Tomorrow will definitely be better. That may be false, but there is not only one tomorrow. Tomorrow's tomorrow will be better."

"That's right. Although today's magic research blew up the laboratory, tomorrow's magic research will have a smaller range of explosions, and every day will become better than the day before."

"Well said! You don't have to come to the college tomorrow, so the laboratory will not be blown up. In a sense, tomorrow is indeed better."

The audience began to communicate in a low voice, but soon returned to silence, because the movie was not over yet, it still had the last part.

A terrifying god appeared at the border of the world. Titanium realized that this world also had a border, but it was farther away than his old world.

The terrifying god told Titanium that he had come to the creator of the world. Now as long as Titanium stopped, he could make a wish. No matter what kind of wish it was, the god would fulfill it for him.

Or, Titanium could choose to kill the god, so that Titanium could become the master of the new world.

However, Titanium walked directly past the god and walked to the border. Just when the audience thought that the god must say some bewitching words at this time, and Titanium would say some rebuttal.

Titanium walked a few steps, turned around, and said to the god:

"Goodbye! You must also bravely walk out of the border!"

"See you in the new world!"

This sentence was said to the god, but it seemed to be said to everyone in front of the screen.

Titanium left this fantasy world. Perhaps he had not found a world that could satisfy him and make him stay. After watching the back of Titanium leaving, the god also began to walk and walked to another border.

Perhaps God also has his own prison, trapped in his own domain. That is his fear of the outside world, so the whole world keeps repeating.

The movie ends here.

The discussion of the mages became louder.

In the discussion of the dream mages and the change mages, this story is interesting enough as a fairy tale movie, and it is suitable for all ages. For the destruction mages and the sky mages, their focus is on the realistic flaming sun, after all, that is the employment direction of their future disciples.

The stubborn mages of the high tower faction fell into a rare silence. This is a fairy tale drama, and the children are happy to watch it, but some people are looking in the mirror. In the end, the blessing given by "Titanium" is just what the high tower mages say to themselves.

Aren't these high tower mages the gods who "lock themselves in the tower"?

In the evaluation of other mages, the blood mages thought that the plot was not dark enough and had a twist, and the dragon mages thought that the setting of the sandbox world at the beginning was interesting enough even though there was no giant dragon;

The tree mages thought that the Green Domain Princess played well and hoped to get her contact information, and the summoning mages had already recorded all the creatures that appeared in the movie. Obviously, they were going to remake it in reality. They didn't pay attention to the plot when watching the movie, but just looked for materials.

The saints were even more moved and even yearned for it. After all, Titanium could at least take the initiative to go beyond the border, and the choices of the other children could not be said to be wrong. It can only be said that as long as they can reach a place where they can live in peace, that must be their true home!

"As a fairy tale movie, it is qualified. Even for many adults, it is worth watching. Breaking boundaries, daring to try, and working hard to live, the protagonist Titanium has many things to learn, even if it is just a child."

"As the strongest god, he is only willing to stay in his own world, while as the weakest Titanium, he holds hope for the distance, even if it is unknown, but for the weak, there is actually nothing to lose, everything will be better, not worse."

The saints are doing reading comprehension, and at this time, some voices seem to be mavericks.

The probability mages are whispering.

This group of abstract mages who use dice as magic holy tools are opening a betting market. This is their impression of the movie.

"The probability of tomorrow being better is 21%, the probability of today being better is 35%, the probability of yesterday being better is 15%, and the probability of tomorrow's tomorrow being better is 8%!"

"This probability is not good! Shake it again! Until the grand prize is drawn! You can definitely shake 36% of tomorrow's!"
