Chapter 1751: Coming Full Circle
Chapter 1751: Coming Full Circle
“Now, would be the night time” he mutters to himself and just like cue, he suddenly saw scenery of his past, passes him by like he is in a film room and the film of his life is playing in front of him
It is a scenery he had seen before. And it passes him quickly. But this time, he could see it clearly
“I must have improved” he thought to himself. He tries not to be swayed with what he is seeing.
And then he sees the past, present and future of people connected to him.
But some of them is in a blur.
As for the blurring he could guess why.
The stronger they became, the harder it is for destiny and fate to interfere.
And Azief did not dare look at the future of his friends and the people je knows that closely. He understood one thing about seeing the future
Sometimes just by the act of looking at the future, looking at it makes it predetermined.
Looking at it, lock that future.
Future is a possibility. Hence, it is like a blank canvas from the perspective of the people in the past.
In a way when travelling toward the future, it is like travelling into an empty space.
From the current past that the traveler moves to, it extrapolate the most probable future.
However, this did not mean that changing the future is easy.
Instead, once you saw the future, fate and destiny would make sure that it would run along the same trajectory you saw.
And to many beings in the Omniverse there is nothing more terrifying and more powerful force in the Omniverse than this fate and destiny.
They control life, death and everything in between.
Mortals could only see the future and could not change it. Even gods has to kneel and surrender in submission to this force.
Odin had to enact Ragnarök.
Olympus had to choose whether to be killed by a mortal or wage war against either the Titans or the Giants.
The Jade Empire had to break their land, or enact an Age of Catastrophe where the power and essence of immortal disappears from the world
All of that so that they could delay and trick fate and destiny. But because they tricked this force, they are forced to relive it and repeat it.
There is only a few beings in the Omniverse that could be free from the effect of fate and destiny. But even these beings could not say that they are completely free from the power of fate and destiny.
Mortals does not know their destiny so they could only blame their fate.
But gods knows their fate and sometimes that is even more depressing.
When you know it and you ae powerless to change it.
What does Odin feel when he saw his sons had to die for Ragnarök to start?
What did Zeus, Hades and Poseidon think to themselves when they have to fight another war and to keep repeating the same battle and fought against each other, in a farce that they need to keep performing?
It is probably very much…. tiring to do such a thing.
Fate and destiny…the more he knows about this force, the more Azief feel afraid of it. Still, that did not change his determination to challenge it.
There is many thoughts that is swimming in his mind right now
He tries not to get distracted. Since this is the second time he is here, it is easier for him to focus his mind this time.
And then as he moves forward, he saw it. And he shakes his head
“Majestic as ever” In front of him is a translucent gigantic veil. It’s like it is made from the light of stars.
A gigantic veil that seems to stretch out from one end of to the other end.
The beginning and end of this veil could not even be seen, the end and beginning seems infinite.
“Passing through the veil” Azief also see the bead like sparkling that attached itself to the veil
The time of past and present and possible future of everything.
Azief now has more knowledge about this thing that jangles around the veil.
Beads…..are moments. It is how his mind interpret it.
All of these beads are moments of someone else’s life.
Looking at the bead, someone like Azief would be able to deepen their knowledge of cause
and effect.
All the beads are connected.
A life in rhythm, each action affected the other, like some kind of wave function.
It is invisible, intangible, but its there and it affects everything.
Mortal life with mortal lifespan, with mortal limitations could not see it.
What they could see is nothing more than the physical world.
And with the aid of some devices, they could see through nano world but certain things changes its properties with each second and no human technology could capture it clearly.
Because it defies certain laws that the world operates with.
And fate and destiny is like that.
You could not quantified it.
But for some, they could calculate it.
But to calculate it one has to see far and too see more of these past, present and future.
Now that he is here again, he remembers the story of the man who lost his daughter and the drug dealer woman.
And now, he is at this place again. And he looks at this place again. And look at that bead
again.
He is here near the veil actually to see what would happen if he leave the world for a few
decade and enter into seclusion.
Would it really fall into chaos?
Will a world catastrophe happens?
Is there a more powerful enemy lurking in the stars waiting to attack Earth?
That is the reason why he close his eyes, and uses Erika powers again.
He wanted to see it.
He did not rely on it.
But he does feel that anyone who have the power to see the future would surely get addicted
to it.
Azief in the five years he is in the Untainted Land did not use the power that much.
Not because he did not want to use it but the more he uses it, the more he felt like it is a drug.
And if he is not careful, he would get addicted to it.
When he touches the blue crystal before, he had learned that the blue crystal held all the
knowledge of the Etherna.
Top cram all of that knowledge would take hundreds if not thousands of years. But there is a
way to shortened that time. Make partitions in memories.
Just download all the information first in his mind.
But do not process it or digest it, or even remember it.
Just stash it away and not use it.
Put it in a storage.
It would shortened the process.
It is like throwing all of your stuff without thinking whether you really need the stuff of not.
This shortened the knowledge transferal.
It is like the system.
The system when it wanted to give information to the host and user would give the
information directly to the brain.
At the same time, the user and host would instantly know and understand what the system
means
The hardest thing was for the user to understand.
Understanding is the core of the matter.
Etherna knowledge is hard and ancient and some of it could not be understood easily.
Azief conclude that even if he learns all of the Etherna knowledge, he probably would only
learn about five percent of it in ten thousand years.
In one millions years., it might be six or seven percent.
Why the seven percent only took ten thousand years but two percent take a millions years?
Because the degree of understanding it rises with each new knowledge unlocked But…..Azief knows he could not spend a million years just to understand the knowledge of the
Etherna
Even if he uses the time dilation function of the Untainted Land, there is a limit to it.
The limit is his lifespan.
Not to mention, the Etherna knowledge is also like a drug.
Be careful not to get obsessed.
Anything good, when it mixed with obsession, it always had the chance to evolve this
obsession into something that is extreme
And sometimes, extreme something is good.
But not all of it is good.
Extreme concentration for example is good.
However, everything has a price. What would you sacrifice for your extreme concentration?
Sometimes, you concentrate on one thing too much and you miss everything around you.
This is just one example. But obsession could be a fuel or it could be the fire that burns you down while you are not noticing it
Azief is determined to learn about the Etherna for he believe he would find the way to go
forward in his current path.
At the same time, he might find some answers to the connection between him and the
Etherna. And that might unravel the future that he wanted to avoid.
That…..that is his intention.
But now, he is back in the veil.
And when he sees the same bead, the same moment, suddenly an intuition told him
something.
“Could it be….” He thought to himself and he thought of his past experience in the veil and it
was like lightning struck him, and he reached a certain kind of realization.
And most of the time, he trusted his intuition and get rewarded for it.
