Chapter 60 : Chapter 60 The Narrator, the Little Historian of the Universe
Amphoreus, Xu Qiong Bath Palace.
After finishing the pre-download update for Version 3.2, he stretched comfortably.
The revenue from the second wave of the Tribbie banner, especially after the story concluded, was far more explosive than the first wave.
Aside from using his Black Swan banner resources to redeem Version 3.2, he used the rest to upgrade the 'Time' Path.
While accelerating the rebirth of the Aha Star, the territory covered by 'Time' was also slowly expanding.
And now, everything lost had returned!
Xu Qiong looked at the tens of thousands of Cosmic Shards, and currently, he felt that nothing in the event shop was worth his attention.
The Amber Lord's Faith Bond, which grants the recipient status in the great work of Preservation? What kind of garbage painted-cake is that? Toss it away!
The A-Ruan bag that can hold the universe? By the time he ascends to the 'Time' Aeon and becomes omnipotent, going wherever he wants and doing whatever he wants, why would he need a bag to hold the universe?
Skip, skip, skip.
"What kind of garbage is this event? Why is there an item that forces 'IX' to glance at you?"
"This one should go to Aha; He should like it very much."
Next, next!
As Xu Qiong kept refreshing, the cost of the next refresh had already reached thousands of Shards.
But fortunately, he finally found something useful.
[Curio]
[Split Gold Coin: This gold coin will automatically split. As long as there is enough time, you will obtain monstrous amounts of gold and credits.]
[Note: Of course, if you have the will, you can take the opportunity to destroy the financial system of a planet.]
[Ability]
[One-Minute Aeon: Aha will grant you one minute of Aeon-level time. What are you prepared to do with this power?]
[Note: Or maybe He's just messing with you?]
[Ability]
[Cosmic Historian: The Historian has put pen to paper~ As a Cosmic Historian, please lift the 'pen' in your hand, and you will gain one chance to replace and rewrite the existing history of the universe.]
[Note: Perhaps no one will know, not even Them? But it is best to consider the consequences and costs first~]
credits and such were already more worthless than paper in front of Xu Qiong.
So, the question is?
If Aha gives you a chance to be an Aeon for one minute, what would you do?
Xu Qiong wanted to choose to glance at Aha, and then make Him his Emanator.
Xu Qiong: "（ᗜ _ ᗜ）"
Of course, this so-called one-minute Aeon might just be Aha messing with him; after all, Aha loves doing such nonsense.
So, skipping directly, Xu Qiong placed his gaze on the last one.
"Cosmic Historian, an ability of the Enigmata Path?"
No.
Xu Qiong understood it briefly.
It seemed to be higher-end than the Enigmata Path, to the point where it couldn't even be called Enigmata anymore.
The ability granted by the Enigmata to their walkers would rewrite established history because they felt that if they didn't, all possibilities would vanish, leaving only a rigid process.
But essentially, it is a form of deception.
Even if one could fabricate a perfect molecular evolutionary tree, define bananas as amphibians, or classify Wubbaboos as Passeriformes.
Once proven or seen through, the existence of the Fictional Historian would vanish along with it because the essence did not exist.
However.
This ability is different.
It is an authority over the Rules. If one had to compare, what it rewrites or creates is real, even if someone realizes it wasn't originally like that...
Of course, not many people would be able to realize it.
"Sounds like I can do whatever I want, so what are the precautions?"
Xu Qiong researched it deeply, and sure enough, there were things to watch out for.
Besides having only one use, it must comply with the equivalent theory of the Rules.
For example, an existing rule:
[Aeons exist]
Within this rule, you can only choose to replace or rewrite it into 'Aeons do not exist'. You cannot add words, nor can you delete words, because the rule is only that big.
But gradually, Xu Qiong also understood why the prompt said to consider the costs clearly.
"Because it is real, and each rule can only be rewritten once, once determined, there is no way to turn it back."
"Then, what if I say 'Causality' does not exist?"
Perhaps no one could predict how terrifying the consequences would be.
Even without mentioning Aeons or Causality, such major events involving the entire universe, even the disappearance of an ordinary person could create a butterfly effect, causing established facts to undergo earth-shattering changes.
Xu Qiong hadn't forgotten that in the if-line, the Astral Express just took the wrong station, leading to a cataclysm across the entire galaxy...
However, regardless, this ability is truly powerful.
"This is the one!" Xu Qiong decided immediately.
[Ding! Your ability 'Cosmic Historian' has been successfully redeemed.]
Xu Qiong nodded with satisfaction.
Then, if this ability can only be used once for now,
what is the safest, and the one least likely to cause accidents?
"I have decided, I will use the ability now!" Xu Qiong realized.
[Ding! You have lifted the 'pen', please proceed with caution, Host.]
Using a bit of reverse thinking, he knew what to do: "Then, I will take the existing established rule..."
" 'You will gain one chance to replace and rewrite the existing history of the universe', this rule."
"Replace it with, 'You will gain one billion chances to replace and rewrite the existing history of the universe'!"
[...]
[...]
System: " ( ⊙ ˍ ⊙ ) "
[Your rule entry modification has taken effect!]
Xu Qiong laughed.
He had never laughed so joyfully.
If Herta were here, she would have witnessed the ascension of an Emanator of Erudition.
And at this very moment.
Outside the door, there was suddenly the sound of high heels tapping rapidly on the floor, getting closer.
Knock knock—!
"Little Gray? Are you inside?"
"Teacher Tribbie is back?"
...
[Returned, everything has returned!]
[Six Eidolons obtained! At first, I wondered why Tribbie was released instead of Tiresias, but now I have understood everything!]
[Tribbie symbolizes Tiresias taking over the flame, the appearance after passing the fire, she is the most representative character!]
[Bold theory, a reality never felt before! I feel that this virtual character is not inferior to any fan-made one.]
Meanwhile.
The internet was full of various analysis videos.
After the Tribbie character went online, the personal story naturally unlocked as well.
As expected, players who finished the story and saw the voice lines and stories were even more devastated.
[Greeting: Tribbie: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening~ Trinnon: Good sunny days, good rainy days, good snowy days~ Trianne: Good head, good legs, good body~ Tribbie/Trinnon/Trianne: —Everything is good!]
[Farewell: Everyone, see you tomorrow. Trinnon: If you can't see me tomorrow, then... Trianne: See you the day after tomorrow!]
[Troubles: We also had times when our hair was long, just like Mother's. At that time, we still had many, many people, some braiding long double braids, some wearing high single ponytails, but now our hair is getting shorter and shorter, almost unable to tie it up anymore.]
...
[I feel like I have truly lost a companion, making me feel like the sky has collapsed.]
[Actually, when I first started, I just came with a mindset to watch the fun, but now I'm completely sucked in.]
[Not to hide it from everyone, I haven't slept for two days, my head is full of Trianne's last words...]
[And Tiresias, she and her mother were each other's only family. Although they could only live in a dark, sunless little basement, they were still optimistically relying on each other, and their relationship was very good. Her mother told all kinds of stories very interestingly, and little Tribbie would show her mother the inventions she made.
Her mother made political deals with others for little Tribbie, and in the end, didn't even hesitate to sacrifice herself to exchange for little Tribbie's survival. The conversation with little Tribbie the night before she left really made me cry.]
[In the 10 years little Tribbie lost her mother, she could only live alone in the basement. For a 10-year-old child, losing her mother's company, interesting stories became boring books, and the items she invented had no one to share with, and she had to be imprisoned and manipulated as a tool for those people.
[Especially after she ran out and met her mother's old friend, who said her mother had repeatedly told her to take good care of her, "You have grown up to be as beautiful as your mother" — this sentence really stabbed me!]
[In the end, Tiresias was still willing to take over the flame, bear the responsibility of thousands of Paths, endure the separation of soul and body into a thousand parts, embark on a thousand-year bitter journey. On this journey, she lost her beautiful body and gradually lost her past memories.
The most miserable part is that her clones were constantly hunted and imprisoned. She had to bear the pain of the death of every clone, until only three were left, equivalent to experiencing the pain of 998 deaths.]
[...]
[Really? This analysis is too explosive, can people watch the plot so seriously?]
[It's hard to imagine how the Author made a turn-based game like this. If only Tiresias were real, how good would that be?]
[Sob sob sob~ Better not, if such a miserable encounter were real, it would be even more painful!]
