Xu Ling always felt that the voice was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she didn't think about it very much. Moreover, she had never seen the woman in the palace dress in front of her. The key point is that other people in the laboratory could not see her either.

More importantly, she said "Welcome back".

"You are..." Xu Ling asked.

There is no expression on the woman's face, but it always makes people feel that she is smiling: "We have been in contact for a long time."

Xu Ling thought for a few seconds, then opened his eyes wide: "Are you a system?"

The woman in front of her was almost the same as the sound of posting a task in her consciousness, but the system's tone was charged.

He had confirmed this conclusion in his heart, but it was a little hard to believe that no system could create a true body!

And at this moment, the sudden change made him feel a little confused. He came a hundred years ago for no reason, and the system personally appeared."

The system elder sister did not rush to solve the previous doubts for him, but said: "It's better to tell the whole story as usual about the cause and consequences, the reason for the demonization, and why you are here."

here we go again.

Xu Ling felt that what she meant was as if she had met her many times, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, the other party must be kind-hearted, and he would always have the chance to ask what he wanted to ask.

The system sister began to tell the story.

"You should know this place too, Hoxingnai City, Frick Dittot Laboratory. At first, it was just an ordinary astronomy institute and there was no secret, but in the year before the New Year 000 you had decided, their satellites intercepted a special set of signals."

"You have seen what happened later. After a period of research, they deciphered the content of the signal."

Xu Ling asked: "Did the signal record the method of demonization? They conducted experiments and then got out of control?"

The system seemed to smile obscurely: "No, humans can't do it. The syllables deciphered by this set of signals are an anchor point. Have you noticed that it is difficult to pronounce it completely in the way humans are used to pronunciation?"

"really."

Xu Ling nodded, but thought to find something in his heart.

The system seemed to smile again and continued: "As long as someone makes this sound, it will cause the chaotic gaze of the original origin in the universe. It will grab the anchor and come to this world, bringing the final demise to the planet."

"Ancient God?" Xu Ling murmured subconsciously, this was a word found from the Cthulhu setting that he had not accumulated much.

The system hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, "You can understand this way, but it is not accurate. The universe always circulates between destruction and birth. Order and chaos always alternate. In fact, it is not a kind of... God."

She patted her hands gently, time began to move forward quickly, and the people in the laboratory were getting more and more progressive in research, and the anchor point that called for chaos was recited many times every day.

Until a year later, a ball of dark matter appeared out of thin air in the air on the closed terrace, and the thick black fog instantly swallowed everyone in the house.

The West Pole Kingdom immediately blocked the area of ​​several kilometers around the laboratory and sent troops to try to enter it, but more people went and then died, which could only cause greater chaos until the fog was out of control and rushed to a wider place.

The system clapped his hands again, and time paused, and the position of the two men suddenly became a thousand feet high. This perspective was exactly what Xu Ling saw in his dream not long after traveling through time.

At this time, he could look around freely, and indeed saw an invisible wave wrapping the whole world. Next was the satellite falling, and demonization began to spread all over the world.

The system waved his hand gently and the two entered a pure white space, with nothing around.

"Now, you should know the reason for the demonization, then..."

Xu Ling couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Wait a minute, I think it's necessary for you to explain who you are at this time."

The system has no emotions, and even its tone remains unchanged: "I am the origin of the world, or the will of the world, and the incarnation of the world, you can understand it no matter how you understand it."

Xu Ling frowned and looked up and down at the palace dress woman in front of him: "Then why is this image?"

The world said lightly: "I exist in the form you understand. I don't have any form of myself. In your cognition, what I should be, will show what posture."

Xu Ling thought something.

If I think she should be a hero in a straw raincoat and a straw hat...

The form of the world has indeed changed.

Then if I think she should be an old white beard...

The form changed again.

Is he a little loli?

The figure of the world began to shrink.

What if it was a basketball?

"Please don't think of something strange." The world finally couldn't help but speak.

"Well, can you know what I'm thinking?"

“In this world, I know everything.”

“…”

Xu Ling changed her back to her previous image and then began to change the topic, "Then what happened to me? The system was also given to me? Since it can give me the ability, why not directly make me invincible?"

The world continued to explain without thinking: "First of all, although I am the world itself, most of the time, I can only act under the rules of the universe. If it were other humans, I would not make him stronger, at least I could not make him have the ability to reach here."

Xu Ling said: "The reason I can do it is because I am not a local in this world line."

"Yes, using human understanding, you are like a bug in a program, and you can ignore certain rules to a certain extent, so I can use the form of tasks to allow you to gain corresponding abilities at certain moments, but it is not as you said, directly invincible in the world. I can only change your body when something specific happens."

"For example, let the squad leader drink water?"

Xu Ling frowned again after stretching his brows for a while: "But these things seem to have no causal relationship."

"No."

The world actually admitted generously, "Just like your game of eliminating blocks layer by layer. If the upper layer covers the gap in the lower layer, it must be eliminated to fill the blocked gap. They do belong to two lines and do not seem to be directly connected."

Xu Ling finally asked: "So why is the system?"

"It's still the same, that's just a form that you can understand, and it's meaningless to the world itself."

“…”

Xu Ling was silent for a while, "Okay, so, I've been here before?"

"I've been here, but I haven't."

The world said, "In your words, the world line, or parallel universe is not single. In every world line, you are the special one, so you can 'travel'."

"How many am I?"

“Five hundred and two.”

"What did I do in the past? They all failed?"

“Yes, not.”

“…”

Xu Ling has been fucked silent more than once, "Can you stop keeping it in hiding?"

But the world said seriously: "I'm not keeping it a secret. You haven't completely changed the ending of destruction, but you have tried and wrong."

“Trial and error?”

"You should have noticed that since you came to this world, many coincidences have happened, and even things that cannot be explained by common sense."

Xu Ling suddenly thought of the so-called god who guided the Curry Woosh to Xia Kingdom.

"Yes, that's what you think." The world said.

"But, how did I do the rest? Look at the underground corridor, even now I can't get it out overnight." Xu Ling had other questions.

The world nodded gently: "That's why I need to try my best to guide you here. You must contact the origin of the world in order to truly control my power."

She waved her hand gently, and suddenly several long scrolls with invisible heads were pulled up in the pure white space.

Xu Ling looked up and saw that the long scroll was like the handover of an old camera. Pictures appeared on it, starting from the demonization, starting from the raging monsters, until... the gray fog filled the world and the destruction of the world.

When his eyes looked over, the pictures began to flow again, as if they were directly imprinting the process in their minds.

"What's this?"

"time."

The world said, "Since we can only change the front end in a similar way to cheating, you can only move within the scope of the demonization that begins until the world's destruction."

"Can I go back to the past?!" Xu Ling asked in shock.

"Not going back, now you are in the same dimension as me. Time is not one-way for you. It moves between the 'future' and 'past' just like you move from the living room to the kitchen. Sorry, I can't show this in a way that you can understand."

Xu Ling twitched: "Do you look down on others?"

"I don't have this emotion."

“…What do we need to do now?”

The world walked to him and gently pressed on one of the scrolls.

The surrounding scene changes again.

"Now it's SGD 122, the starting point of everything, come with me."

The world is ahead and can take thousands of meters in one step. The two of them crossed the entire continent and came to the Xia State Military Headquarters. They met Zhu Talan a few years ago and were talking to Fu Zheng at this time.

"I was so happy again, but I still got nothing." He was tilted on the sofa in the office, just like usual.

Fu Zheng said: "It doesn't matter. In a few months, we will have to organize the 12th overseas investigation. It's better to go farther to find out. Let's take a break first and take a good rest. You will be busy at that time."

Zhu Talan smiled and said, "I have this plan too. I want to find a secluded place to stay for a few days."

Fu Zheng stood up and said, "With you, I'll go and have a meeting. You can wait for me here. When you come back later, we will discuss the issues of several major candidates."

After saying that, he walked out of the office, Zhu Talan closed his eyes and took a nap, and muttered, "Where's the best to go?"

Then his breathing became evenly.

At this time, the world said: "You have to let him go to Qingrong. I have tried six times before. If you haven't met at the train station, then although you can still enter the 12th overseas survey team, the timing and degree of his attention to you will change, which will cause you to not reach the required state when you arrive in the extreme west."

"I understand, the snowball will get bigger and bigger, but the question is, how can I affect his thinking?"

The world said: "Now you represent the will of the whole world, just say it to him."

Xu Ling felt a little ridiculous, but she still walked to Zhu Talan and squatted down, and whispered to him: "Boss, go to Qingrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, a long scroll was dragged out from the void. The image of Zhu Talan going to Jintai City for vacation disappeared and turned into an encounter at Qingrong Railway Station.

"Success!" Xu Ling said excitedly.

"Well, let's go, next." The world is still calm.

While the two were traveling through time and space, Xu Ling suddenly asked: "I need to find you because you cannot directly interfere with the real world, right?"

"Yes, without you, the world would never know that I have the will, and I can't do anything. All I have to wait for in the future is the path of destruction." The world said.

Xu Ling asked again: "Since you and I are so awesome together, why have we failed more than 500 times? After the first one, I came here, I tried and missed it repeatedly, and sooner or later, I could get all the situations out, right?"

The world said: "My power is limited. Even if you are there, you cannot make infinite trials and errors in one time travel, so there are so many you have been here."

"That's how it is."

Xu Ling finally figured out the whole story, "Then why did you insist on letting me come to you so much trouble? You can't appear in front of me directly when traveling through time."

"You also see that chaos weaving a cage trapped me in the laboratory. I can't get out. It's the limit that I can do to guide you to see me." The world is very patient from beginning to end.

While speaking, the two of them came to the next location, which was the Nangong Xiao Group's spoils-sharing meeting. He wanted to distribute the skills brought from his home to everyone, one of whom was nicknamed Tongzi obtained an ordinary knife technique.

Xu Ling recalled that when he first left the country, he had eliminated the sword-controlling technique from this guy, but at this time he changed it to a sword technique, so he must have changed it back.

Time went backwards, and he changed the idea of ​​the leader under Nangong Xiao who was responsible for distributing martial arts.

Next, the two continued to wander in time and space. What Xu Ling didn't expect was that some things that looked ordinary and seemed completely fragmented were all changed by himself in secret.

After making a series of trivial arrangements, he felt very satisfied. He looked back at the world, but was suddenly shocked: "Damn, why are you so bright!"

"Because forcing changes will consume my origin. When I completely turn into a ball of light in your eyes and then disappear, it will be the end of your round." The world said calmly.

Only then did Xu Ling remember that he had said before that the number and extent of changing the world was limited.

"Then, go ahead."

The two went to the next node, the most important node, Sylette crossed the underground corridor and arrived in Xia Kingdom.

He came to the location of the corridor, looked at the world, and then began to do something.

At this moment, he was able to master the method of using the origin. With a light wave of his hands, the corridor suddenly appeared underground that had been studied by experts in the Xia Kingdom for several years but could not be solved.

Then he flew to the settlement of the Currywush tribe at that time, and at this time they were still struggling to survive.

Xu Ling wanted to try to change them like changing Zhu Talan's idea, but suddenly realized that if only one of them was instilled with such a thing, it would be difficult to obtain the consent of the entire tribe, but if it affects everyone at the same time on a large scale, the consumption would be too much.

He finally understood why the tribe saw the arrival of a new god, because the appearance of the saint was just to create a halo and say a few words, which was cheap.

In order to make the light effect more obvious, he deliberately chose the time at night.

The sky was shining heavily, and the meteorite fell to the ground. Xu Ling stood in front of thousands of Kuliwushi tribes.

That night, the Currywosh people received a divine decree that was enough to change the fate of mankind.

Go, go to the north.

Judging from the long scroll of time, the fourteen waves of beast tides soon afterwards occurred on the border of Xia. At this time, Xu Ling realized that it was not because Syrian arrived at the border of Xia, but because his actions attracted the attention of the chaotic side. Its plan to extinguish this side was just underestimating the combat effectiveness of the people of Xia.

"There is also the magic crystal, we need to go further." The world interrupted his trance.

The two returned decades ago. Xu Ling sprinkled the power of the original source on the entire snow field, affecting the monsters here. Their overflowing magic crystals will give birth to attributes that are opposite to chaos. Humans will use these to create something that has the greatest impact on the expedition, the magic crystal guns.

"call--"

After doing all this, Xu Ling found that the light on the world had obviously become stronger, "Next, let's go."

Next came a series of trivial matters, including his original choice of martial arts, etc.

And the biggest node after that was in the Capital of Miracle, the extremely vast underground cavity.

But just digging a hole is useless. Xu Ling remembers that what allows the residents here to survive underground is the dazzling little sun.

The two of them crossed thousands of miles and went to the center of the mainland to kill a super-level monster comparable to the governor, took off its spine and the luminous organ on its head, and placed it on the top of the capital of Miracle.

At this time, the light on the world was already burning, because it consumed a lot of money directly on the monster on the chaotic side.

Xu Ling was actually a little anxious, afraid that she would disappear directly after the next action. Just when she was about to say something, a silver dragon appeared on the long scroll of time, chasing herself who had broken through and reported the news.

I'm in a bad mood, you dare to chase me!

Xu Ling didn't get angry and rushed over, and stepped on Yinlong's head with one kick, making this guy unable to continue chasing himself who had been seriously injured.

After the Miracle Capital was dealt with, the two of them came to the central part of the mainland again. There was no need to remind him, and he also knew that what he wanted to do this time was to move mountains.

At the time in the investigation team, he listened to researchers to report the components of the mountain here. Without further ado, he moved the mountains distributed throughout the mainland.

Later, Xu Ling changed the natural terrain in the Western Continent, allowing some humans to survive the siege of monsters. Although they would still be killed orcs on a large scale and become prisoners of orcs, they must do this, because under the butterfly effect, a little detail may also change the final result. This is all achieved by Xu Ling again and again.

Now, the light on the world gradually dimmed, and the whole person became a little transparent.

"how are you feeling?"

"It's okay, keep going."

All preparations outside the extreme west have been solved, and the final thing to be solved is the things in the fog.

"What was the reason for the last failure?" Xu Ling asked.

The world replied: "Eliminate all the chaos in the laboratory and remove the black fog, but it attracted stronger gaze."

Xu Ling felt that things were a bit tricky. In the long scroll of time, the future would still be destruction. As long as the source is not controlled, the fog will spread again sooner or later.

But now it is impossible to even eliminate it, isn’t that a dilemma between two sides?

He crossed time and space and returned to the huge pit of real time. Centaurs and large groups of black shadows were still raging, while Loji and Frig were already at the end of their strength.

"Are these things killable?"

"Yes." The world replied.

After receiving a positive answer, Xu Ling was not ruthless at all. A milky white aperture swept away, and all the black shadows touched were wiped out. The centaur held a spear in his hand and resisted the diffusing aperture tightly, trying to make the final struggle.

But how could a mere chaotic creature compete with the origin of the world? Xu Ling slapped it directly and slapped it into ashes.

Loji and Frig could not see Xu Ling, who had been assimilated with the world. They even thought that the scene in front of them was an illusion when they were dying.

"What happened just now?"

"have no idea."

"how are you feeling?"

"You're almost dead."

"Recalling the past?"

"Um."

The eyes of the two gradually became dissipated.

Xu Ling asked, "I'll send them out, can I do it?"

"Can."

The world said, but hesitated at the same time, "But we don't have much source left."

"It's okay, I suddenly thought of a solution just now."

The world's eyes flashed for a moment, and she had read the other person's thoughts: "So that's it, have you thought about it?"

"Um."

Xu Ling stretched out his hand and lifted the two men who were unconscious and fell into the ground. With his fingertips, a ball of darkness surged out from their chests. The power of chaos was pulled away, and the orc-like characteristics on the two men quickly dissipated.

He took them again across the western land and returned to the town of Marcus.

After frequent time and space traversals, many memories and even history have been imprinted in my mind. Now when I see my familiar comrades, I feel like I am a different life.

In order to avoid causing riots, Xu Ling arrived at the command center with two supervisors who were withdrawn from the power of chaos.

"My grass, what's going on? I'm scared." Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted.

Everyone was having a meeting, but they were scared by Frig and Loki who appeared out of thin air.

Looking at the world where his body became increasingly dimming and transparent, Xu Ling did not show up, but just conveyed his own voice.

"I'm Xu Ling."

"Xu Ling?! Where are you?"

Zhu Talan stood up and looked for the source of the sound.

"What I want to say next is very important. You must listen carefully and don't have any doubts."

Zhu Talan's face changed, but he knew Xu Ling, and he could tell from his tone that this was not a joke.

"The fog that shrouds in the extreme west will never dissipate, but I will guarantee that they will not spread anymore and that at that time, no one will be allowed to enter."

"Remember, what else?" Zhu Talan knew the truth was very important and did not ask much.

"I have already removed the power of chaos from these two supervisors. Please send them to rescue immediately. In addition, other people infected by the gray fog need to be gathered together."

Xu Ling's voice continued to echo in the room.

Zhu Talan said, "Xu Li, go and do it quickly."

"However, a small number of people have completely lost consciousness and are confined to the pass fortress." Xu Li said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'll go, you guys wait."

A few minutes later, Xu Ling's voice sounded again: "It's no problem. Remember to notify the person to let them go. Those buddies woke up and howled inside. The guards were almost scared to tears."

After a few minutes of thinking, everyone in the command center reacted a little. Chu Xiaojun asked, "Xu Ling, what do you think the gray fog will not spread again? Do you need our help?"

"No, gather the infected first, it's important to do the important thing."

"I've been in the observation rooms in Area 3."

Xu Ling crossed the distance directly and arrived at the place Chu Xiaojun mentioned.

Infected people are isolated in different observation rooms, and some have already developed manic symptoms alone.

Under his operation, all the infectious forces were forced out. Their eyes instantly returned to clear light, but they still didn't understand what was going on.

A Jing looked up at the air and muttered to the people around him: "I seemed to see Xu Ling just now."

At this time, the people from the command center also rushed over, and Zhu Talan rushed over and asked, "What did you say, who did you see?"

A Jing hesitated a little: "Xu, Xu Ling, but it's very vague. I'm not sure, was he who saved us?"

Zhu Talan nodded blankly: "Where is he?"

No one can respond to him.

"Xu Ling, where are you!" he asked again.

Soon, the entire town of Marcus started a search for Xu Ling, but nothing was found.

In the air, two dim figures that were unseen were floating.

"Let's go."

The world said, "We are already weak, and they can't hear you."

"Um."

Xu Ling turned around and stepped towards the extreme west.

Back at the lab terrace, the torn black vine balls were still suspended there.

"You have to think clearly that I can send you back to the original world line so many times before, but if I do this now, I don't know what will happen." The world said.

Xu Ling stood there and chuckled: "You have something to tell me."

The world also laughed: "Well, you feel it. This is the last attempt. If it fails, I will fall into an eternal sleep and never have a chance again."

"Then stop talking nonsense, let's start."

The two walked hand in hand toward the purest chaotic force, put their hands on the left and right, and their figures became dimmer and eventually disappeared.

After this, the gizzard began to shrink slowly and finally turned into a solid sphere the size of a fist, which was also pitch black all over. The only difference was that in the center, there was a pure white vertical line, which calmed the original chaos like a Dinghai Shen Needle.

This is Xu Ling's method. Eliminating chaos will attract more powerful gazes, and letting it go without any hesitation will cause it to swallow it up until the world is destroyed.

So there is only one solution, that is, stay here and detain this chaos together with the origin of the world, neither allowing it to die nor spread.

The moment the figure disappeared, Xu Ling looked at the long scroll of time again, and saw that the future was revealed. The black fog in the extreme west could no longer rush out. There was a huge statue at the exit of the corridor. It was a young man with a cunning smile, wearing the badge of the general of the Xia Army. He turned his back to the vast black fog behind him and waved to the distance.

...

...

...

"call--"

Xu Ling took a deep breath, as if the drowning person had just woken up from a coma.

In the hot summer, the classroom is noisy and mixed with the jagged cicadas outside the window.

"What's wrong with you? Is it okay?"

A familiar voice came from my ears, and when I turned my head, it was Luo Zhixing.

"Squad leader?!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I'm back, I'm back hahahaha!!!"

Seeing the familiar classmates in the classroom, Xu Ling couldn't help laughing, and even burst into tears. But suddenly, his expression stopped, and he turned his head and stared at Luo Zhixing with a serious face: "No, squad leader, in this world line, we seem to be not the same tablemate."
