The Spirit World

Chapter 972 Shadow Fall (VIII)
What does it feel like to fall from the sky?

I don’t know, I don’t understand… and I haven’t tried…

So I don’t know what that feels like…

But I did fall from the sky...in the arms of a rabbit...from the body of a fire eagle...

The moment I realized there were so many "me"s in this world, I became more and more confused... What is the meaning of my existence...

I can't feel... a single feeling inside, I know that every person I meet has an exact copy in some other dimension...

I don't even know what the meaning of their existence is...

If someone wants to use these "things" to create some conspiracy... I might still have some inner curiosity and excitement...

I even feel that I don’t need to tell myself that these things have meaning as long as they exist…

I just need to tell myself seriously.

Those meaningless things and events simply have no meaning at all.

Regardless, where they are...

They are not [real].

I don't expect that "truth" is truly meaningful, but "falsehood" must lack the value of meaning.

So how should I proceed...

What about the rest of life?
There are so many "real me's" out there.

"I mean... everything that follows... seems to no longer require my presence."

Chang Yufeng put down the sword, put it into the sheath, and threw it to the side casually. A crack in time and space accurately placed the sword in the air.

"How could you think like that!"

Xiao Lan stomped her feet, rushed angrily to the back of Chang Yufeng's head and grabbed his hair.

"Why did you grow your hair long again? You disobedient little brat! Have you forgotten? You said you would protect everyone!"

Xiao Lan grabbed Chang Yufeng's hair, but accidentally slipped away from the silky white hair and fell down. Fortunately, Xiao Lan could fly and bounced back like a slingshot.

"I...I'm saving the world...am I not?"

Chang Yufeng ignored Xiao Lan and instead observed the ash on the ground, which was a pool of "strange traces" left behind by the demon's demise.

"By the way, how did you find me... I was running around and I didn't even know where I was..."

He was somewhat unconcerned about Xiao Lan's arrival, so much so that he hadn't noticed the Ice Elf and Chen Lin next to him.

They stood in the ruins where a fight had just taken place and looked at Chang Yufeng with very strange eyes.

Perhaps they had not expected that Chang Yufeng, whom they had found with great difficulty, would be like this—only caring about the "thing" he had just defeated, rather than the words they said.

It was like chatting with a complete stranger.

"So, you don't want to go back to the time and space you once were in?"

Chen Lin looked at the compass in her hand awkwardly. The [One and Only Chang Yu Feng] she was looking for was right in front of her. The compass was pointing to Chang Yu Feng.

He was dressed in snow-white clothes, had white hair like jade, was tall, and had bright eyes and brows.

But I don't care much about their arrival.

This was the only inevitability she could think of. No one was obligated to help her and the world she lived in.

"Mr. Chang Yufeng... I'd like to ask you a question... Is there a Chen Lin who looks exactly like me in your main universe?"

Chen Lin took a step forward, then took a small step back. She looked much more mature than when she first arrived in this time and space.

Maybe it was because of the scar on the ground, or maybe it was because she was timid and worried because she had really seen the Chang Yufeng in the main universe who was not exactly the same as Chang Yufeng. Would he be willing to help the Chang Yufeng in other time and space...

This is a question that is significant enough to determine whether her trip is meaningful or not.

Chang Yufeng heard Chen Lin's voice and tilted his head slightly to look at her. He couldn't look her in the eye and didn't see the fear in her eyes. Instead, he turned his head away and continued to stare at the ashes created by the demon's demise.

He said: "No, you have misunderstood the [Split of Spacetime]. Every Chen Lin is different. There is no such thing as an exact duplicate. Only the Chen Lin in the [Ring Spacetime] you are in is exactly the same as you. The Chen Lins in other spaces will all have significant changes."

Chang Yufeng is no longer a young boy, and he can start to explain to others everything he knows.

Or maybe, part of it.

"In α spacetime, except for me who will not change, Chang Yufeng in other [branch spacetime] will change. If spacetime is compared to vertical and horizontal, then branch spacetime is the spacetime with number in α spacetime, recorded as horizontal spacetime, while the circular spacetime is split by time points. Everything in all spacetime will become nodes to form a spacetime thread. This thread continues continuously, and the spacetimes split from these nodes will have exactly the same people and things, but different choices, recorded as vertical spacetime."

Chang Yufeng grabbed Xiao Lan in his hands and told her not to fly around.

But she struggled, as if she had missed something, and looked at him angrily and depressed.

Perhaps it was because she felt that she had lost her little master.

The little master that the master is expecting.

"Of course, this is only... a partial explanation. A more detailed explanation requires you to... have enough knowledge or ability."

Chang Yufeng looked at Chen Lin again.

"Like, transcending time."

"It's actually hard for me to imagine how shocked my mother was when she first comprehended the concept of time as a spiritual person. I also can't imagine why she would do that at the time, or how she would do it..."

"After all, there is no so-called basic science in the spirit world. There is only magic science. Time magic exists naturally. We only know how to use it, but not how to summarize it."

He turned around and began to formally face the three people in front of him.

He was not very excited to see old acquaintances, but remained calm as always, which made him act nonchalant and speak nonchalantly about things that they did not understand.

"I do not understand……"

Chen Lin answered him truthfully. The word "I don't understand" made her hold the compass in her hand carefully.

"But if I can find you, it will prove that my time and space can still be saved. Right!"

"Mr. Chang Yufeng! The Chang Yufeng in my time and space needs your rescue!"

Chang Yufeng's eyes were like a blade, cutting Chen Lin's future. This woman from another time and space did not understand her current situation.

Chang Yufeng in the α-175 space-time was unknown to her.

forever and ever.

"He has to figure it out on his own, just like any Chang Yufeng."

Chang Yufeng stood there, the wind lifted his long white hair, those lonely things clung to him and never left him, showing his melancholy.

Once upon a time, Chang Yufeng had a rare period of carefree time, but that was a long, long time ago. It was no longer something he could have.

"The branch spacetime within α spacetime. You belong there. I know."

"I met him once."

At this point, Chen Lin suddenly remembered something, searched his pocket vigorously, and took out a mirror.

Then, a young man in school uniform appeared in front of everyone.

The person in the mirror was a little surprised, until Chen Lin shouted excitedly: "Here he is! Mr. Chang Yufeng! The person we are looking for!"
