From the end of the world

Chapter 547 The Truth of Doomsday 2
Hearing this, I first glanced at Xiaowan's reaction.

Although the previous clues are enough to prove that "the world of common sense and the world of weirdness do not interfere with each other" is logically untenable, it is an extreme statement to say that the two have never been separated. How can we explain that the demon hunter community has never interfered with the secular government in the past?

Furthermore, the Fantian incident four years ago was originally the result of the disappearance of the power of the divine seal that separated the two worlds. Just as there is no concept of death for an object that has never lived, there is no concept of disappearance for a power that has never existed.

I certainly wouldn't immediately conclude that Seven was being irrelevant, but that statement really was—no, wait.

A flash of inspiration illuminated a dark spot in my mind. Perhaps I had been wrong from the beginning. The Fantian incident more than four years ago was not about "a certain force disappearing". The truth might be the other way around.

Xiaowan turned my vague thoughts into practical language: "I see, Ms. Seven, what you mean is... the world of common sense and the world of weirdness do not need to be separated, because the two have been unrelated from the beginning.

"And the events that occurred several years ago that brought the two together were not the disappearance of the forces that separated them, but the emergence of the forces that brought them together... Can we understand it this way?"

"That's right." No. 7 nodded. "What I'm going to say next is the truth about the end of the world. Having said that, I can't say whether I have completely grasped the truth. Although you think I should have such channels, I'm actually not qualified to know everything.

"But I can guarantee that even if what I said is not 100% true, it is at least 80% correct.

"First of all, you should all be able to accept the concept of 'another world', right?"

Xiaowan and I both said there was no problem.

As an enemy that I will have to face sooner or later, Shan Liangyi has the ability to travel to another world through reincarnation. This is not the first time I have heard of such a concept.

"You can first assume that there are two completely different worlds." No. 7 said, "One of the worlds - World A is a world of so-called common sense. There are no monks, no weird things, and no supernatural phenomena. It is a world just like what is written in the textbooks of the common sense world.

"Another world - World B is the opposite. There, monks and weird things that are completely uncommon in World A are common sense, just like the world of immortal cultivation and magic described in fantasy stories.

"One day, someone found the divine seal in one of the worlds and made a wish for it.

"He hopes to summon the other world and combine the two worlds together."

Although No. 7 did not say who this "someone" was, at the moment he could think of no one else except the Lord of the Divine Seal.

Number Seven won’t admit it directly, so I can only listen to what she says.

"This combination is not as simple as a spatial connection, but a comprehensive and deep integration. It also includes time, or 'history'," she said. "But it is this integration that has a fatal problem... Two time and space with different worldviews can coexist peacefully when they run independently, but it is impossible to run two completely different worldviews in the same time and space at the same time and make them logically consistent.

“It’s like you can’t have characters design particle accelerators in a story with a historical background in medieval Europe, or develop perfect capitalism in the primitive tribal era… In the world we live in, it’s impossible to have ordinary people develop as we know it while there is a weird world.

"If you force it together, you'll end up with abrupt twists, like 'People in world A somehow historically ignored people in world B, and the same thing happened to them.' It's like trying to force two jigsaw puzzle pieces together that aren't adjacent to each other, and both pieces will break. A lot of mistakes will be made in the process.

"As a result, the history of the 'AB world' we live in today has experienced a major malfunction. If our 'present' is a high-rise building under construction, and we are constantly building new floors upwards, while a large number of load-bearing walls on the floors below are being blown up one after another... then what will happen next?"

"It will collapse." Xiaowan said thoughtfully, "Is this what they call 'the end of the world happened in the past'..."

I chewed over this amazing information in my mind, and then asked, "According to you, the original form of the world we live in is the A world with only common sense?"

"I don't know." Number 7 said, "You may think this way because you spent your childhood in the world of common sense, but in my opinion, the original form of our world is more likely to be world B - the weird world." As for the reason, I think there is no need to explain it. In the world A where there were originally no weird things, how could there be such a thing as a divine seal, and how could there be someone who used this divine seal to summon another world? Now that mortal can also rely on the power of technology to obtain rich material conditions in the world of A - the world of common sense, it is possible that he is the outsider who is summoned. "

Xiao Wan did not show me that No. 7 was lying. Regardless of whether the information provided by No. 7 was the final truth, at least in the subjective thinking of this person who had a close relationship with the Lord of the Divine Seal, what he said was true.

However, this is somewhat inconsistent with Xiaowan's past narrative.

Xiaowan said that all weirdness is born from mistakes; but in No. 7's statement, weirdness seems to be something that already exists...

Is this a matter of perspective? Depending on your perspective, the criteria for judging right and wrong will change. In our view, weirdness is a derivative of error; but in the view of weirdness, perhaps we are the ones who are wrong.

This seems to make perfect sense. The biggest reason for the end of the world is the collision of two worlds. From the perspective of one side, the cause of its own destruction is the other side that collided with it, and the various things that live on the other side are the embodiment of error.

As the collision between the two worlds intensifies, the presence of the other side will become stronger and stronger. The increase in strange events may not be due to the increase in strange things themselves, but simply because more and more strange things have landed in the world of common sense.

Although we don't know what the relationship between Xiaowan and Zhu Jiu and Zhu Shi is, she is very likely to be like the latter two and instinctively think about things from the perspective of the common sense world. Therefore, she tends to judge things brought by the strange world as wrong.

If this is the case, then preventing the end of the world may not require ending the weirdness, and the prerequisite of becoming an enemy of Ma Zao and the others seems to no longer exist.

But in that case, everything in the common sense world must be judged as wrong and be ruthlessly settled. After all, since the end of the world is caused by the coexistence of both, one of them must be destroyed. In the end, they still have to be enemies with Mazao and others.

Of course, there is also the option of collecting all the fragments of the Divine Seal, and then making a wish to the complete Divine Seal to separate the two worlds again. However, the only one known to be able to repair the Divine Seal is the Lord of the Divine Seal.

The Lord of the Divine Seal is the culprit who caused this situation. Assuming that the Lord of the Divine Seal is Tai Sui, judging from the rumors in the past, it is hard to imagine that he is a madman who intends to destroy the world; more importantly, I don’t think that No. 7 is an accomplice who will assist such a madman. Maybe the Lord of the Divine Seal had some positive motives to merge the two worlds, but he did not expect that his actions would lead to this situation. Now he probably regrets it and wants to avoid the end of the world by repairing the Divine Seal.

No matter what, no one would agree to let such a criminal with a criminal record hold the divine seal again.

So I'll try to repair the seal? Regardless of whether it can be done or not, even if I fight with my partners in the name of preventing the end of the world, as long as the end of the adventure is to "obtain the seal of God", I will still betray Mazao and the others at the last minute.

After all, what I long for is a chaotic world, and it is impossible for me to wish for world peace.

Xiaowan seemed to be still in deep thought, and then she said: "...Ms. No. 7, I remember the beginning of this topic was to introduce the purpose of the Gospel House, right? In order to explain to us what the Gospel House wants to do, you first explained the current situation of the world...

"Could it be that the purpose of the Gospel House is also related to the end of the world? Do they also want to prevent the end of the world?"

"...That's right." No. 7 showed a complicated expression. "Although I can only describe the Gospel Institute's actions as evil, they do intend to save the world... At the same time, that may be the only way to save the world without relying on the power of the Divine Seal."

Xiaowan seemed to have thought of the answer immediately, "Is that so... Is this the reason why the Gospel Institute kills all survivors outside of its power? But what's the point of preventing the end of the world in this way?"

"I'm sorry, if I'm wrong, please point it out." I also thought of that cold answer, "Is the purpose of the Gospel Institute to destroy all human beings?"

"That's about it." Number 7 admitted, "The two incompatible worldviews of human history currently running on this planet are like conflicting programs running on a computer, causing the entire system environment to crash and freeze.

"Under the condition that it cannot be reprogrammed, there is only one thing that can be done, and that is to wield the butcher knife against all of humanity."
