The problem discovered in Chapter 776
Su-yan's primordial power carries the characteristics of the rise and fall of civilizations.
Although Qi Fu immediately used his own source power to retaliate, the rise and fall of civilizations is just like their decline. The originally enormous seven-colored radiance quickly shrank. The two different sources fought each other for about five or six seconds before the seven-colored light representing Qi Fu's power shrank into a small ball.
Seeing this, Qi Fu and Xu Shu had no choice but to immediately scatter to avoid the attack.
As the two dodged, a spatial rift large enough to contain a small virtual tree appeared. What was even more surprising was that the rift did not immediately heal, but instead repaired itself slowly.
Is this a characteristic of a civilization's decline and subsequent stagnation?
Qi Fu and Xu Shu's evasiveness brought a smug smile to Su Zhen's face.
"See? Even if I don't develop, you're no match for me. So what if you can fight me, Qi Fu? If the hope you bring to others doesn't have a significant effect, it will only bring disappointment..."
Therefore, your blessings will eventually run out, and the rise and fall of civilizations is an eternal truth for all worlds.
"Therefore, my concept is above all of you! You cannot defeat me!"
Hearing Su Zhen's words, Qi Fu's face darkened, and a serious look finally appeared in his eyes.
The rise and fall of civilizations is not simply a decline or a weakening; it is more like a general trend.
It is a trend destined to go from weak to strong, and finally to exhaustion. Although it loses development along the way and cannot be anchored at any particular moment, this trend is indeed unstoppable.
This general trend is the true definition of the concept of civilization.
Is this concept powerful? Absolutely. Every concept is powerful, but there are differences. Some concepts can counter or restrain each other.
For example, hardness and softness restrain each other, life and death restrain each other, and the virtual tree and the sea oppose each other.
Qi Fu has never met anyone who can control himself over the years, so his claim of being invincible is not a joke.
Now Su Zhen says she's civilized and restrained him? Qi Fu is skeptical, but he also understands that his concepts are absolutely related to people.
Civilization is built and driven by people, and when a civilization dies, its benefits are no longer available. The rise and fall of a civilization can indeed affect it.
But to say that he can be restrained is to think too simply. If he really wanted to bring good fortune, he could revive even a dying civilization instantly, even more so than it has ever done before.
Therefore, he can admit that Su Zhen can indeed influence him, but he can also make Su Zhen suffer, as evidenced by his ability to take "Teyvat" away in the future.
With this example in mind, coupled with Qi Fu's ability to revitalize civilization, which is precisely the kind of development Su Han lacks, and finally, the fact that Su Han might be even more petty than Xu Shu, all contribute to Su Han's great hostility towards him.
And now he has discovered another problem.
Having figured out some of the causes and consequences, Qi Fu had few doubts left, so he spoke again.
“Su Yan, I understand. The reason you didn’t interfere with Xi Lian’s actions, but instead followed her, is because the power I left in that world was too little. And because it was too little, your power could easily weaken that little bit of power to nothing.”
"So, you don't care about anything in World Four. You treat this world as a free experimental field to see if they can use my power to find the true concepts of hope and development. As long as they can find them, it means you can achieve development."
"Your flaws can naturally be corrected!"
"Unfortunately, they were indeed found, but that hope came from the past, and you had no choice but to come along with Xi Lian."
"But when you get here, you realize that it was too early, so early that it was when 'Xi Lian' was just born. At that time, I had not only not entered the Virtual Tree World, but I had not even entered the Endless Blue Star."
"So, since everything hasn't even started yet, you have to prepare in advance. But I have some questions. Since you've come from the future to the past, why do you still want to follow the existing trajectory? Wouldn't it be better to change it, for example, by preventing me from entering the Virtual Tree World?"
"Back then, you should have been capable, but you didn't do it; instead, you offered help? Also, when you were still in the 'future,' that 'past of the future' couldn't possibly have had you, so who threw those things into the Virtual Tree World? And how exactly were you born? You seem to have never mentioned this from beginning to end," Qi Fu asked.
At this moment, Xi Lian, who was listening to Qi Fu's words, also stared wide-eyed in surprise.
She could temporarily ignore the fact that they were using their world as an experimental field, but Qi Fu's last question did indeed make her suspicious.
Yes, since we've come all this way, why follow the original history? Although she wasn't very familiar with who threw things into the Virtual Tree World, the only thing she knew was that eggshell.
But she also clearly saw from March 7th that the person named Anseram saw Susan in the "future".
The present Su Zhen cannot appear in the "past of the future," so when exactly was Su Zhen born, and who is she?
In an instant, everyone looked at Su Zhen.
"What's going on? Could it be that she has another identity?" Ayaka Kamisato asked, puzzled.
"Wasn't she a fusion with the Tree Sea?" Barbara was still confused. As one of only two women among them who had a connection with Qi Fu but not yet a close relationship, she was still a complete mortal and couldn't understand others.
The other one of the two Xi Lian is the Heart of Onfaros. She herself has powerful computing power, is a flawless pure child, and is even more intelligent than her.
“No, she was formed from the fusion of the Tree Sea. The problem is her birth time,” Xin Hai denied.
"Xi Lian, did you see Su Zhen's figure in your memories? And did you see Xu Shu and Tian Ji Hai?" Xin Hai immediately asked Xi Lian.
“No, I haven’t seen any of them in the memories of the final (first) ripples, but I saw Anseram in the memories of March 7th. That Anseram saw Su Zhen, but that was in the past, not the future. Even the final (first) ripples didn’t encounter any obstacles when they returned to the past!” Xi Lian truthfully told what she knew.
“Indeed, the matter of Su Zhen’s birth was very problematic. If it was really because of Qi Fu’s influence that Hai took the opportunity to devour the tree, even if it was due to the fusion defects caused by the incompatibility between the two, it shouldn’t be this serious,” Xin Hai said solemnly.
"unless……"
"Xu Shu and Tian Ji Hai were not completely swallowed by Su Zhen at all!"
