It was born from a failed experiment. In the future, when human civilization was developing a causal weapon, it accidentally triggered multiple iterations of the timeline.
The resulting spacetime anomaly is—”
Sayer deliberately dragged out the tone.
"Is it the law of causality?"
Xia Jie asked.
"No, it is the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries."
The out-of-control first-generation causality weapon became Laplace's demon, which traverses time and space and is omnipresent.
That is, the law of causality that governs the iterated present universe.
"That can't be right. Wasn't the Myriad Corpse Immortal born from the mistakes accumulated by those with the supernatural power of causality?"
"This is the cause of birth that the Myriad Corpse Immortal wrote for itself, not its original cause of birth."
You must understand that the world of supernatural powers exists because of all kinds of karma. If there were no karma, how could there be supernatural powers that accumulate errors in the law of cause and effect?
While it's true that all industries can produce results before their causes, that's a capability they acquire after they are born.
Before His birth, He could not determine the cause and effect of His birth through the concept of cause preceding effect.
"So, you guys are the ones who created Wanye?"
"No, it was indirectly created by humans from the original future. The current human civilization is already a product of iteration."
"Didn't they consider the consequences of a failed experiment when they were working on causal weapons?"
"Uh……"
Sayer paused for a moment, which was unusual, before continuing:
"The first generation of researchers chose to trust the wisdom of their descendants, but after they died in interstellar wars, their successors who restarted the experiments chose to trust the wisdom of their ancestors."
Chapter 86 discusses space and time, and the concept of cause and effect.
"All things are different from the law of cause and effect,"
After explaining the origins and loss of control of the causal weapon, Sayer added:
"The law of causality, anchored to its own cause of birth, namely the history of the formation of the scientific way, has triggered an endless iteration of timelines. It is difficult to say which future the current Federation is in."
The myriad processes created a recursion in history, leading to countless Greek-style self-fulfilling prophecies, though I personally prefer to call it "worldline convergence."
Lao Sa's words contained a lot of information, but Xia Jie still understood them.
What is timeline iteration?
People in the future used uncontrolled causal weapons to rewrite the past on a massive scale, and the rewritten past, in turn, completely reshaped the future through the connections of cause and effect.
Because of the interference of the causal weapon with the true causal logic, the past did not revert to its initial state and begin recursion due to the loss of the original future being rewritten.
The new future still exists stably and can still interfere with the past again, iterating in cycles to create the third, fourth, fifth, and infinitely more futures.
What is historical recursion?
Even the myriad creations themselves are not strong enough to influence the true causal logic, let alone the supernatural world that exists because of the myriad creations.
Therefore, using supernatural powers to alter the past inevitably leads to historical recurrence.
Until a stable history is recursively derived, that is, "intervention from the future not only fails to change the past, but instead facilitates the occurrence of the predetermined past."
In other words, it is highly similar to the Greek dogshit prophecy of "history fulfilling itself."
This event is also recorded in the original work.
In order to prevent Gao Haoguang from suffering a heart injury in the future, Duan Xinglian used the Same Month Order to remind Gao Haoguang of the past. However, as soon as he uttered the word "tomb", the Same Month Order ran out of power and ended.
Gao Haoguang followed the clues based on this one word and arrived at Dongting City. At the moment when he was most relaxed after the great battle, he was pierced through the heart by Pan Nanjun, who had possessed Manager Jin.
It's less a coincidence and more an "inevitable fate."
In other words, every period of "uncertain time" approaching the battle of cause and effect, and even the Myriad Causes Corpse Immortal himself, uses the fruits of myriad causes to interfere with and guide history.
All of these unintentionally contributed to the birth of the final version of history, that is, the comic book timeline full of destiny and coincidence.
People create destiny with their own hands, and then are bound by it in turn.
Inside the Star Chart, where the time flow rate was increased to the highest level, Xia Jie was still exchanging information with Sayer while multitasking.
At least on the surface, that's the case.
"Therefore, the law of causality values Newton and other founders of science in order to protect the cause of its own existence."
For Him, who possesses countless humans in the future, the number of witnesses from the past is secondary, isn't it?
"I think 'observation' is a more appropriate term than 'witnessing'."
Sayer raised his index finger to emphasize.
"Observation is interference, interference is collapse, and collapse is anchoring."
Like Schrödinger's cat, those divergent, superimposed, and uncertain possibilities will collapse into certain facts through observation.
Although the principle is more complex, this is the effect of the "witnessing" you mentioned.
As a rootless duckweed detached from its original future, causality becomes dependent on observation, and in this respect, it is remarkably similar to all things.
I would call it "enemies and allies sharing the same origin".
The more observers there are of causality, the more stable its existence becomes; the more prosperous the scientific path, the stronger its existence.
It is precisely to avoid excessively reinforcing causality that humanity chose to deliberately halt civilization in the 62nd century before causality became completely insurmountable.
Sayer slowed his speech a fraction at this point.
He straightened up and gave Xia Jie a very formal bow.
"Thanks to you, the observations of the key historical figures upon whom the law of causality relies most have been stolen and replaced by your creation."
Only you, an external cause and effect beyond the prediction of the law of causality, have the ability to do all this right under its nose.
Your actions have allowed us, the future humankind, to witness a perfect giant wave that is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we are truly grateful.
At least in the respect of being free from the rule of causality, we agree with you.
"Wait, buddy? So you guys still used the Star Chart to scam me, your benefactor?"
Xia Jie couldn't hold back anymore. Are the ways people in the future repay kindness all this abstract?
"That's not the case. We've already held back. The 62nd-century civilization is wrestling with the law of causality."
The forces of other centuries are also desperately expanding the gains you have made.
My battle with you was more of a test, after all, you yourself know how sophisticated your methods of escaping the universe are.
We are certain that a fight of this intensity, unless you're determined to die, wouldn't be much more intense than an arm-wrestling match.
Seeing that Xia Jie was still frowning, Sayer calmly added:
"The main thing is... your actions in Dongting City lead us to believe that you prefer to start with a fight rather than peaceful conversation."
Hearing this, Xia Jie's brows relaxed, and she immediately felt relieved: "That's true, I really do enjoy fighting."
"I have told you everything you wanted to know. Now, would you like to consider cooperating with us?"
Sayer extended his hand in an inviting gesture.
"Our Federation is quite interested in your method of leaving this universe, but even after using the most advanced observation technology of the 62nd century, we have not been able to get any results."
"Haha, I refuse."
Xia Jie took a step back, avoiding Sayer's outstretched hand. "You call it cooperation, but what you really want is for me to hand over all my secrets, right?"
"Moreover, your observation methods and information linking technology are quite advanced; you can still observe me through projection even now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sayer's projection suddenly went out. This time, it was Xia Jie who took the initiative to cut off the connection between the Federation and the projection.
At the same time, the standard Star Chart also began to reorganize into a humanoid form, and the markers and backdoors that could be tracked by other Star Charts also disappeared in the process of reorganization.
This means that Xia Jie has 'read' and 'understood' the entire 'Standard Star Chart'.
The magical properties of magical girls are related to the wishes they make.
Xia Jie, who has made nearly a thousand wishes using the space, still uses a memory technique that integrates "reading" and "understanding" through wishes.
However, due to the various magical properties bestowed by different wishes, the magic of memory has already acquired a degree of 'omnipotence'.
And this is just one of the trump cards Xia Jie has prepared for the law of causality.
If the physical laws of the universe weren't not entirely universal, Xia Jie, who had mastered the technology trees of various civilizations in the Cursed Return Universe and all of Kyubey's technology in the Madoka Magica Universe, could have come up with even more amazing tricks.
Unfortunately, the protection of space only allows Xia Jie and the other eccentrics from the metaverse to use the power system across worldviews as individuals.
For example, a perpetual motion machine developed based on the properties of curse power would be rendered useless as soon as it leaves the body, unless it is localized into a powerful magical artifact like the Prison Gate.
"It is a grand yet narrow idea. Even though it abandons the path of supernatural powers under the pressure of the law of causality, it still has a very high degree of completion."
Having regained her human form, Xia Jie stretched lazily inside the black hole where no one could witness her.
"To simplify the infinite universe to such an extent with human wisdom is simply a model of creation."
The standard star chart is essentially a standard cosmological model of humanity in the 45th century, representing the sum of humanity's understanding of the universe at that time.
This also means that Xia Jie, who has understood the Star Chart, has already caught up with humanity in the 45th century in terms of basic scientific accumulation; the only thing lacking is technological application.
Chapter 87 The Disease is Called War
"Next comes the 62nd century."
Since Xia Jie knows that the final battle between humanity and causality will take place in the 62nd century, she has no reason to run away.
Before that, Xia Jie prepared to do some flower styling.
As is well known, the effect of memory techniques is to reproduce what Xia Jie has seen, and the effectiveness of the reproduced object depends on the degree of reproduction.
Temporary re-creation consumes little energy, while permanent manifestation consumes a lot of energy, as much as the construction formula of a spell re-creation.
If the reproduction accuracy reaches 100%, then the counterfeit can rival the original.
If optimizations are made on top of a 100% accurate replica, and sufficient magical power is spent, then the counterfeit can not only exist permanently, but its effects can also surpass those of the original.
