“The moment we outsiders arrived in this world, the corresponding works probably appeared. It’s as if the works were directly written into the world’s past record. There was no creative process, only the creative result. The outsiders were unaware of this at the beginning.”
"For outsiders, an identity in this world is merely a hint or clue, and may even involve some kind of world rule. But it has no other meaning."
He paused, then added, "If you're looking to find your creator and have them change the plot for you... well, I can try that. But based on my guess, it's unlikely to be very effective. Of course, it's worth a try."
"..."
Fan Xiaoxiao remained silent for a while.
After regaining her composure, she asked, "Do you... know Gu Hange?"
“I know her,” Fan Xiao said. “Gu Hange is also my sister… I mean the one I know personally, not the one in your work. But these two Gu Hanges do have quite similar personalities.”
"Then...is she...your sister still alive?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked.
“She’s alive, and living quite comfortably.” Fan Xiao said in a subtle tone, “Her relationship with me… well, like yours, has a lot of conflicts.”
Fan Xiaoxiao fell silent again.
She felt a sense of destiny.
No matter which world they live in, will Gu Hange eventually become her adversary?
This time, she didn't break the silence, as if lamenting her fate.
Seeing this, Fan Xiao spoke up and said, "Can I ask questions now?"
Fan Xiaoxiao sighed softly, "Go ahead and ask."
"Is your goal to resurrect Gu Hange? Do you regret killing her?" Fan Xiao immediately launched into a soul-searching interrogation.
"..."
Fan Xiaoxiao remained silent for a good ten seconds before replying, "You should have already seen my work, right? In my world, five years have passed since my sister died."
"It's been five years. I thought I could let go of everything and live a normal life, but... I've found that no matter how hard I try, all I can do is endure, suppress, and restrain myself..."
"You're right, I do regret it. Call it greed if you will, but I wanted a happy ending."
“But Gu Hange’s nature will not change,” Fan Xiao reminded him.
“My sister does have some issues with her thinking, but as long as she doesn’t possess supernatural powers, she’s at most a person with a slightly antisocial personality, and can be controlled.” Fan Xiaoxiao looked into Fan Xiao’s eyes and said, word by word, “As long as I’m watching her, she won’t have a chance to cause trouble.”
"Have you been spending too much time with Gu Hange and become like her, all yandere?" Fan Xiao thought to himself, somewhat speechless, but he didn't show it. He said with a normal expression, "So... what you want is to be resurrected and to eliminate Gu Hange's abilities?"
“That’s right,” Fan Xiaoxiao admitted. “It’s almost impossible to do this within the world of the work. But if you step outside the work and start from the level of adding settings, it becomes very simple.”
"Hmm... I can cooperate with you on this. However..."
Fan Xiao shook his head, his tone becoming more serious, and reminded him, "What I just told you is not an exaggeration. This world is subject to a cataclysmic disaster, and it wouldn't be surprising if it were destroyed at any time."
"If the real world is gone, it's hard to say whether the world of the work can remain unscathed. Moreover, according to my speculation, adding new settings and making them effective will not be easy to achieve, and this process may take quite a while."
"I can cooperate with you on this, but you also have to cooperate with me and help us save the world."
"Save the world..."
Fan Xiaoxiao murmured these words.
The emotions in her eyes seemed somewhat complex, tinged with nostalgia.
Then, without further hesitation, she nodded and said, "I promise you."
Fan Xiao: "So decisive?"
“I had already guessed what you were asking me,” Fan Xiaoxiao said, her tone regaining its composure. “I asked you these questions mainly to confirm them before making a final decision.”
She paused, then lowered her voice, as if deliberately suppressing her words: "Besides, you are my prototype. From my own perspective, I am naturally more willing to believe you than Cinderella."
“Cinderella?” Fan Xiao asked, puzzled.
"Cinderella is the one who brought me into the real world, and the appearance of other characters here is probably also her masterpiece."
Fan Xiaoxiao replied, "She suddenly appeared in my world and told me that everything about me was fabricated—family, friends, death, tragic fate… everything was created to please people in the real world."
"She told me that she appeared to help people like us, and that she could lead me to change the tragedy and turn my fate around."
"I was persuaded by her, so I went with her to the real world... which is here. However..."
At this point, her tone became more serious: "Last night, while investigating my own work, I also investigated some information in the real world and found that a lot of bizarre deaths have suddenly occurred in reality. If I'm not mistaken, these incidents were caused by characters from Cinderella's works."
"She is so unscrupulous, bringing out characters regardless of good or evil, that it doesn't seem like she's trying to solve any problems at all."
"I don't believe that this kind of person's purpose is simply to help us. She... probably has some hidden purpose, which may be related to the world destruction you mentioned."
"Is Cinderella... also a character in the story?" Fan Xiao asked.
Fan Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly: "I used her name and physical characteristics as basic information to do a reverse search on the Internet, but I couldn't find any corresponding roles or works."
"I guess she either used a fake name and disguised her appearance, or... she tampered with her real-life work, such as hiding information about it."
"The work contains all sorts of settings, a wide variety, and I think it also has this ability to hide information over a wide area."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao did not refute it.
He happens to have this ability.
If he so desires, he can unleash the "Wind of Nothingness" to break through the limits and erase the information he wants to hide from this world.
At that time, not only will humans forget the relevant information, but the corresponding paper and electronic records will also disappear.
Even global databases of past information can encounter problems.
Fan Xiao rested his chin on one hand, deep in thought.
I didn't expect to get new information so quickly.
Cinderella... If we can find a way to get information about her, we should be able to make a breakthrough in the information about the "True Myth".
Thinking of this, Fan Xiao asked, "How strong is Cinderella?"
"I don't know, I've never seen her fight," Fan Xiaoxiao said. "But... she gives me an extremely dangerous feeling. To put it in perspective... she's many times more dangerous than my sister. If it were a direct confrontation..."
She shook her head: "Judging from my impression of her, I probably wouldn't last more than a few moves against her."
“That’s normal,” Fan Xiao said. “Your ability, ‘Destiny,’ doesn’t really have much direct combat power.”
Destiny... or rather quantum immortality, is not meant for direct combat.
At least for now, it can only be used as a powerful support ability.
"No, 'Destiny' has the ability to fight in the front."
A slightly strange expression appeared on Fan Xiaoxiao's delicate face as she said, "You don't know?"
Fan Xiao: "?"
Chapter 708 You want to do something bad to me?
Fan Xiao was genuinely puzzled.
When did destiny... or rather quantum immortality, become a force to be reckoned with in combat?
How come he didn't know about the prototype?
How could the original version be outdated?
"Uh... it doesn't seem impossible. The evolution game is related to God, and God holds the power of creation. This isn't the first time that a dungeon has used me as a ready-made blueprint to simulate the effects of my psionic advancement."
Fan Xiao had some guesses in his mind.
In this instance, although the abilities of the fan-made characters are simulated, they are more powerful than the original versions—this has already been confirmed in two player battles.
While it's impossible for a dungeon to replicate a true S-rank psionic power, it's still possible to simulate a similarly powerful ability based on the potential effects of an S-rank psionic power. The most important aspect of an S-rank psionic power isn't its effects, but rather its independent growth tree, the concept of a pillar of the universe, its unlimited potential, and its high-level suppression. Simply imitating an ability with similar effects isn't particularly miraculous in terms of its sheer scale.
After all, the player who served as the blueprint—that is, him—was currently in the instance, constantly providing the instance with information on the prototype of abilities.
Even... if a situation like the B-level dungeon "Mone Tower" were to occur—that is, the will of God were to descend—the simulation ability based on Him might be pushed to an extremely high level in this dungeon.
Within the instance, it's quite normal that the simulation ability is more powerful than his incompletely awakened prototype.
Of course, this situation is not without a solution.
A dungeon is ultimately just a dungeon; it's a small, created world. Whether it's A-rank or S-rank, the rules within it are ultimately limited.
Like Tina, who can destroy the entire instance with a single move, no amount of fancy simulation rules will work.
Although Fan Xiao was slightly annoyed by being surpassed by the plagiarized work, he quickly accepted the situation and adjusted his mood.
He asked Fan Xiaoxiao with great curiosity, "How exactly does 'Destiny' launch a direct attack? Does it use luck to manipulate cause and effect, causing the enemy to die of bad luck?"
Upon hearing this question, Fan Xiaoxiao did not answer immediately, but instead showed a thoughtful expression.
She quickly understood why Fan Xiao, as the prototype, was confused about abilities.
She said, "It seems that although you are my prototype, you are weaker than me in terms of the effects you can exert. You are probably at the same level as... well, as me before the work was completed."
"Before the work was finished?" Fan Xiao said, "You mean, your ability to launch direct attacks only awakened after the work was completed?"
"Abilities grow; they don't remain unchanged."
Fan Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and said, "As I told you before, it has been five years since the work was completed when I was in this time."
"In these five years, although I haven't used my abilities much, they have been growing naturally."
"So much time has passed, and some new features have gradually been unlocked... No, they can't really be called new features. To be more precise, it should be that 'Destiny' is gradually revealing its true nature."
At this point, she offered her own speculation: "'Destiny' is not simply about controlling luck and misfortune. According to my speculation, its most fundamental power should be to determine destiny and control the future, making what I want to achieve seem like a destiny ordained by heaven, and it is bound to happen. Hence the name 'Destiny'. So-called luck and misfortune are merely byproducts before 'Destiny' is fully awakened."
"As for the direct attack capabilities of 'Destiny'... well, the possibilities for the future are limitless; anything can happen."
"From an infinite number of possible futures, lock onto a future where the target will die, make it a predetermined fate, and turn it into reality... That is its direct attack capability."
"It sounds like it's no different from how it's used normally. It's still about using luck to make a wish and get it fulfilled, except that the wish is fixed to make the target die."
Fan Xiao said thoughtfully, "Making a wish, and then having the wish fulfilled, involves a process, and the time it takes is uncertain."
"Even if you wish for the death of your target, it generally won't work immediately. This can hardly be considered a direct combat ability unless you consume additional luck, add time limits, add the method of death, and so on. The more precise the wish, the greater the amount of luck required. Killing someone in this way is not as practical as directly slashing them with a knife."
"Luck isn't something you can accumulate easily; a month of charging, only to fight for a few seconds..."
He shook his head: "This can't be considered normal combat capability."
"I know that. I haven't finished what I was saying yet."
Fan Xiaoxiao ignored the evaluation and continued, "Over the past five years, as the 'Destiny' ability has gradually revealed its true nature, I have been able to amplify the probability of something bad happening to my targets by transferring misfortune to them, thereby seeing some of their imminent future. I have essentially awakened a special perspective, allowing me to see the future of my targets..."
She began to describe in detail the effects of her improved abilities.
Simply put, the future has infinite possibilities, therefore, there are countless possible future outcomes for a person, even if they die.
Death happens every moment, every second.
For example... sometimes when a person falls, they might break their neck and die on the spot;
You might choke to death while taking a sip of water;
You might get choked on a fish bone while eating fish;
He may die suddenly from cardiac arrest;
It's possible that shaking one's head caused several key cranial nerves to suddenly sever, resulting in brain death.
possible……
Even... people are connected by electromagnetic forces. It's possible that you did nothing, you were just standing still, but because of bad luck, the electromagnetic system connecting your body experienced a slight malfunction, and you... bang! exploded.
Even at the conceptual level, there are a host of unexpected factors that can lead to death.
There are an infinite number of factors that can cause death.
These causes of death induce infinite death, which is part of an infinite future.
To some extent, it can be said that everyone is able to survive thanks to good fortune.
Or... in quantum theory terms, these futures are a superposition of coexisting states.
Like Schrödinger's cat, it is both dead and alive.
By transferring misfortune to the target and increasing the probability of the other person getting into trouble, Fan Xiaoxiao can use this as a medium to see multiple possible future deaths of the target.
Then, by consuming luck and interfering with cause and effect, she can anchor these instant-death factors and make them a reality.
In layman's terms, it means to lure out all the hidden dangers of death that are luring out of the target.
It must be said here that what is readily available in reality are the various causes of death, rather than directly fixing "death" as an accurate future.
