I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 16 Discussion on Time (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
"Volatility among all things?"

"The world in your eyes is like the world where we can see the hidden magical elements and fighting spirit of heaven and earth?"

Sallylan has studied magic for hundreds of years and mastered a fighting method that combines magic power and fighting spirit. Now she has achieved supreme strength.
But from her perspective, there are three major cultivation systems in the Lant Continent.

One is the path of a magician who discovers and manipulates the elusive magical elements that are almost everywhere between heaven and earth.

One is the path of clergymen who are blessed with the power of holy light through faith by powerful people such as churches and inquisitions.

One is to cultivate a strong fighting spirit by constantly honing the body and studying various skills. This path is currently the path that most people of the human race and even other races take.

And you have to know that every path of cultivation requires countless people to study and explore, and only after generations of strong people have accumulated, can we find ways to make a certain path of cultivation available to most people to try to get started.

Even if later generations rely on the various experiences and knowledge left by their predecessors, they still need to spend a huge amount of effort to integrate this path and become a strong person.

As one of the top magicians in the Lant continent, although Sallylan has mastered the fusion of magic and fighting spirit, she is not the pioneer or leader of fighting spirit.

She is best at elemental magic, summoning magic, and space magic.

Although the three types of magic are different, they all belong to the same origin. Combined with her own unique talents, it will be easier for her to learn and practice.

At the age of 521, when the elves just reach adulthood, he was able to cultivate to this level. Sallylan has always been very proud of this.

After all, even the ancient elves of the elven clan, Sosia has always admired her talent.

But now Alvin told him that the other party not only mastered a cultivation system different from divine power, magic power, and fighting spirit, but also three types, and he had studied them to an extremely advanced level.

It was able to combine five completely different forces into one body without causing any conflict or explosion leading to death. This completely overturned most of the knowledge she had established since she started practicing.

Sallylan found it hard to imagine how strong Ivan was.

“I can hear the vibrations and echoes between all things at all times. These vibrations are filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, which make my heart feel happy and sad.”

"I can see the blood and energy of killing among all things, and I use this to distinguish good from evil."

"I can see the heroic spirits, evil spirits, and ghosts that the dead creatures have transformed into. They are constantly wailing around me, making it difficult for me to find peace of mind."

"There are far more things hidden in all things than what you and I see."

"Perhaps even time, which is closely related to us, can be seen and manipulated by some powerful people, and can even travel freely in the timeline."

As Alvin slept peacefully, he gained more insights into fluctuations, blood, fighting spirit, and ghosts in his mind. Coupled with the confidence brought by his increased strength, his words were filled with more indescribable self-confidence.

As his power grew stronger, his understanding of the strong became more and more profound.

To countless people, he should be an unrivaled strong man now.

But according to what he knew about the world of the strong, if he had a successful sleep now, he would just be qualified to open the door to the strong.

He is now in the Lant Continent, but he will never stop in the Lant Continent in the future. There must be other dimensional spaces or parallel worlds outside the world.

"Manipulating time? How is such a thing possible?"

"If you can really control time travel, wouldn't you be invincible?"

Sallylan still chose to believe some of what Ivan said, but the ability to manipulate time was too incredible. Because unlike space magic, time is a sacred concept, and mastering time is equivalent to mastering the supreme authority that countless people want but cannot obtain.

"Miss Sallyland, you have misunderstood. The power of time is indeed strong and can almost free people from the concept of death, but being able to save oneself from death does not mean that one is invincible."

"Everything has its destiny. For a world, some disasters are bound to happen."

"Imagine that you are the only person in the world who has mastered the magic of time and can travel through time at will."

"At this time, your hometown or the world you live in is facing a destined end of destruction."

"You will witness the destruction of a world countless times, then fall into self-doubt, rebuild your confidence, try to save it again, and fail again."

"Struggling in the vortex of time, searching for the only timeline that can save the world."

"If you're lucky, you may succeed after a thousand attempts. If you're unlucky, you may witness the destruction of the world a thousand times."

"In this process, you will inevitably realize that in the face of certain truly great disasters, a person's power is always limited."

"By then you will think that you are the first type, with great perseverance. Even if you witness countless destructions, you will continue to struggle and try to save and pursue the ending that may not be able to be saved."

"Or the second one, succumbing to despair and helplessness to the point of numbness, living in a certain world until destruction, and then going to other worlds to witness destruction and muddle through."

"Or is it the third option, where after tens of thousands of attempts, one truly realizes that there is no hope of salvation, and becomes self-doubting and goes insane?"

Hearing this, Ivan shook his head slightly, withdrew his left hand, stood on the table with his hands crossed, looked in the direction of Sally Lan, and spoke in an extremely calm tone.

Based on what he knew about Arad's history, even if there were people and things that could manipulate time, there was still no guarantee that every world could be saved.

They can only struggle in countless parallel world lines to find the only world that can be saved.

So this is the same when converted. Time will lead a world to a destined ending.

"It should be the latter two."

Sallyland wanted to say that Ivan's words were too absolute, but when she put herself in his shoes, she felt that she might not have such an indestructible belief and will.

As long as the time manipulator plans carefully, with the ability to reverse time and foreknowledge, he has the ability to easily get everything in the world.

But most creatures in the world have a sense of empathy hidden deep in their hearts, it just depends on whether the empathy is strong or weak.

But no matter whether empathy is strong or not, as long as you still have it, you may be indifferent after witnessing it once, but after witnessing the destruction of the world countless times and becoming a world wanderer, you will definitely want to make a certain world follow the trajectory of the world you desire.

As long as you have this idea, whether it is out of selfishness or righteous kindness, you will embark on the road of salvation.

But after trying, I found that I couldn't do it no matter what. It was indeed more likely to enter the last two states mentioned by Alvin.

"So you understand, no matter what kind of power you possess, you will inevitably encounter some regrettable things."

"If a person has regrets, then he cannot be called invincible."

At this time, Alvin was discussing the meaning of time with Sallylan and Sosia, while also exploring how to become a strong man, and reminding himself not to drift.
