I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 3839: Chapter 1849: Karma_2

"Taking another perspective, are they all later than the Ten Ancestors, in an era even after mine?"

"The Time Ancestor was in the midst of Dissolving, after being lost, found himself again, achieved the Great Path, but forgot about the Demon Ancestor and other Ancestral Gods who all died, so there’s no need to mention it?"

Xu Xiaoshou always had a wild imagination, during a brainstorming session, he dared to think of anything, but when he pondered like this, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

A bit outrageous...

According to this inference, if I am still the Name Ancestor.

Then I am not the Name Ancestor’s backup but the Name Ancestor is my backup!

"Am I really this strong?"

Time easily jokes with people.

Once time becomes chaotic, many things become illogical.

Xu Xiaoshou can still unravel these thoughts with the Super Taoization of the Time Dao Discs, but after thinking, he feels more lost, thinking he might be lost in the big direction.

Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in him, remembering this sentence the Name Ancestor had said:

"Kong Yuhen, you can synchronize time, let all Paths reincarnate, advance simultaneously..."

The thought sent shivers down his spine.

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly realized this is the key.

He was too trapped in the division of "before and after," but from the insights gained from the Super Taoization of the Time Dao Discs:

Time does not divide into before and after, or rather, it’s not absolute.

There’s a possibility that in the river of time, history might not flow in a single line but multiple parallel paths.

Future, present, past, three run parallel, non-interfering, yet mutually influencing.

Any factor changing among the three will change the fate trajectory of a person or multiple people at the same time segment and timeline.

——Just like Cursed Yin reversing inheritance in the past, feeding back to himself, making the present self, who did nothing, inexplicably banned from Independence.

This, is time!

This is time’s Trickery!

"The head is about to explode..."

In matters involving time, Xu Xiaoshou didn’t think much, already feeling his head subtly aching.

After getting so many conclusions, he timely withdrew his thoughts, returning to the initial question:

"Am I the Name Ancestor?"

"Am I the reincarnation body of the Name Ancestor?"

If time truly operates in parallel threads, then what is seen might not be past scenes but events occurring in some timeline.

Then Name Ancestor is not me, I am not Name Ancestor; Name Ancestor is me, I am Name Ancestor...this might be the essence of difficulty in discernment.

"What is happening there will influence my thoughts, judgments, future."

"What I see now, and the subsequent changes in choices because of it, might feedback there, causing change in that Name Ancestor’s fate?"

"The cat in the box or the dual nature of light?"

No matter what, I am indeed "observing," "intervening," exerting "influence" in the timeline dimension.

The butterfly flaps, distant storms brew.

But all this foundation must be built upon the causality between myself and Name Ancestor.

And if the reincarnation body of Name Ancestor is actually the former Xu Xiaoshou?

"He too had a troubled destiny!"

"Early years parents both died, forced into wandering;"

"Fortunate to enter the Tiansang Spirit Palace, yet spent three years at the bottom in the Outer Yard;"

"Resolving with ’succeed or die,’ just like Name Ancestor, and the ending is death!"

"Such hardship even fits the tragic destiny developed from a few lifetimes following the breaking the realm fruit spoken by Nuozu."

Compared to the former Xu Xiaoshou, since waking from rebirth, my life has been smooth sailing.

Though facing danger, can always turn evil into blessing, forge opportunities, and achieve the Great Path.

Unlike the rough destiny after eating the Nine Major Sword Techniques’ breaking the realm fruit, it’s like being a chosen one, a bit like Bazhun’an, Kui Leihan, the pride of heaven.

"Yet there is a wheel..."

Without this black wheel, Xu Xiaoshou is Ttwelve-fold sure he and Name Ancestor have no actual connection.

If forcefully associated, he might as well be able to give birth to a son.

Yet, just as time is paradoxically filled, he happens to have this black wheel, thus rising, ascending to the azure sky.

"I am numb..."

"Hmm, in Elder Dao the Flamboyant’s words, there must be a variable..."

The thoughts linger undecided, but in truth, it’s just a matter of a moment.

After hearing the three people’s words about "Reincarnation," and the "Nine Lives Realm-breaking Fruit," and holding many considerations, Xu Xiaoshou continued to look at the scene, slightly expectant.

He was waiting for the appearance of the black wheel.

He knew all the answers were ultimately dependent on how this thing was born, how it evolved, and how it finally impacted him.

"Hurry up, I’ve got things to do later!"

...

"It’s still not proper!"

The person wearing the Nuomian shook his head heavily after a long silence.

White smoke swirling, realizing that no matter how arrogant he was, the three in the scene probably wouldn’t notice him afterward.

Xu Xiaoshou slowly regained control of his "body," pushing towards the center of the scene.

The speed was very slow.

But at least he could see more clearly.

The environment of the three was faintly rippling with water, were they underwater?

But they were clearly in a place similar to a dripping cave-like grotesque environment, where fog and water flow coexist, indeed with scattered chess pieces and a chessboard on the stone table.

The Nuomian person picked up two chess pieces, placing one in front of the Time Ancestor, and another in front of himself, solemnly pointing at the first piece:

"You can go, time can run parallel, but Kong Yuhen cannot remain detached from the situation, he must keep an eye on you at all times to prevent accidents."

"However, the great catastrophe is approaching, the variable increases, ’peeking’ and ’intervening’ are both impacts, especially ’seeing high from low."

"My idea is, Kong Yuhen not only must maintain the parallel of time with his main body, but also must dissolve into a clone in each life, cast into the plane after your reincarnation, to guard it."

"The power cannot be too high, but also must have enough self-protection ability, the will cannot be free, otherwise, it could easily lead to mishaps — mainly focused on ’guardianship."

He said, lifting his head across the Nuomian, gazing towards the right at the Time Ancestor.

The Time Ancestor did not respond immediately, this seemingly excellent method, did He hesitate?

The Name Ancestor standing in the middle slightly shook his head, speaking in refusal:

"You know, the Time Dao is already overly Taoized on the Great Path, if clones are dissolved out, even if the freedom of will is limited, it is easy to accidentally not recover them."

"In that case, he will be trapped in the river of time."

The Nu Ancestor ignored him, the gaze unseen across the white fog, just continued staring at the Time Ancestor:"It’s just nine clones..."

"Can." The Time Ancestor finally nodded.

"Cannot!"

The Name Ancestor swept his sleeve, grabbing the chess piece in front of the Time Ancestor, and threw it out.

Xu Xiaoshou dodged quickly, almost thrown in his face.

Unable to dodge, he didn’t have such agile mobility.

But the piece didn’t hit him, instead passed through his "body" falling into an unknown place.

"The great catastrophe is approaching, everything holds variables."

The Name Ancestor said solemnly:"In case I fail, and the power of the Nine Lives realm-breaking fruit ultimately disappears, but I still wish to continue, does he indeed keep guarding?"

The Nu Ancestor laughed, turned to look at Him:"So, you’ve thought from the start that you wouldn’t succeed?"

This words rendered people silent.

The Name Ancestor didn’t respond, still shaking his head, speaking to himself:

"Still the same words, as long as you remember me, I will not die, can go through ten thousand reincarnations."

"And after the parallel of time, there’s no precedence; If Kong Yuhen wants to guard me through ten thousand lives, he must dissolve into countless bodies at the same time."

"Say it’s the number ’nine,’ with a single sentence from you, he will inevitably get lost!"

The Nu Ancestor laughed heartily, laughter like sawing wood, as though ten thousand beasts roared simultaneously, causing one’s hair to stand on end.

He laughed and sat on the stone bench at the back, legs spread open, single elbow leaning on the stone table, the posture was wild and unrestrained:

"You’re taking the risk upfront, and he’s enjoying peace at the back?"

The Name Ancestor opened his mouth, still wanting to speak.

The Time Ancestor raised his hand to block Him, lightly saying:"No worries, I shall guard, nine clones, can be maintained."

"Ten thousand lives!"

The Nu Ancestor’s voice grew heavy, fingers tapping on the stone table, the sound of Dudu echoed through one’s heart, meaningful:

"The Nine Lives realm-breaking fruit protects your will, if after nine reincarnations you haven’t transcended, you don’t need ten thousand lives, even if you succeed by the tenth..."

"When we meet again, name will no longer be name."
