“In the past, I had always thought that I was the reincarnated one. However, the nightmare of apocalyptic destruction was so realistic that it suffocated me, and I couldn’t even think about the true meaning of ‘rebirth.”
Meng Chao said, “The more I tried my best to change the future, the more I doubted the concept of ‘rebirth.’
“Firstly, unlike transmigration, rebirth is not just about me.
“When I was reborn as my youthful self, the entire world underwent a reset, and the dead that had gone with the wind were all resurrected. The buildings that had long been reduced to ashes stood on the ground again
in the exact same way, without a screw out of place.
“All the random events that happened in the past, from a certain strategic decision and a certain natural or man-made disaster to a certain smile on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, or even a certain
butterfly flapping its wings at a certain frequency… All of these events were repeated with incomparable precision.
“I’m not saying that some existence far above us, such as ‘Other World gods’ and the like, absolutely can’t do such a thing.
However, to reset the entire world and only retain the memories of a very small number of people would inevitably consume an unimaginable amount of energy that is even greater than an astronomical figure.
can’t see the significance of using so much energy to do such a thing.
“Second, rebirth and time travel have the same principles. Regardless of whether they’re technically feasible or not, it is very difficult to avoid the appearance of the ‘grandfather-grandson paradox.’ Do you know the
‘grandfather-grandson paradox’?”
think I’ve heard of it,” the Wolf King said.
n my mottled and fragmented dreams, I have read a lot of books from Earth. Although the bodies of the people on Earth are generally weak, your books are interesting and have a magical power that makes it hard for
people to stop reading.”
“That’s good.”
Meng Chao said, “Then you should understand that it’s impossible to kill your grandfather, who has not gotten married and had a child decades ago when it comes to time travel.
“Once your grandfather dies before he gets married and has a child, there will be no father. Then, who will give birth to this unfilial descendant who’s planning to kill his grandfather via time travel?
“By the same logic, I have noticed that our so-called ‘rebirth’ takes place at the moment of the apocalypse, when ten thousand suns fall from the sky. Perhaps, it is the tremendous energy that the space-based orbital
weapons blast out, which resembles the explosion of ten thousand suns? Hence, that allows our souls to travel through time and space, back to our youth?
“But after our rebirth, we’ve been doing our best to stop the apocalypse at all costs, trying to nip it in the bud.
“Here comes the question. Without the tremendous energy provided by the ‘ten thousand suns,’ how can our souls travel through time and space, effectively returning to the past?
“This is a paradox, an unsolvable loop, isn’t it?”
The Wolf King contemplated for a long time.
He had to admit that Meng Chao was right.
“That’s right. We were probably sent back to the past by the apocalyptic flames.”
The Wolf King said, “If we stopped the apocalypse, we wouldn’t have the power source to appear here at all.
“What exactly is going on? I’m completely confused.”
“There’s something even more confusing.”
Meng Chao said, “If the reincarnation theory is true, then we come from two completely different futures.
“The problem is, how can two reincarnators from two different futures reincarnate into the same timeline?
“Or rather, when there are mottled, fragmented nightmares floating in the depths of our brain, with a large number of memory fragments from our past lives hidden inside, who sees the future that is real and who sees
the future that is fake?”
“I don’t know.”
The Wolf King sighed and said, “I originally believed in the memories of my past life. I believed that if I didn’t do anything, the future would definitely become the nightmare that was constantly roaring in my mind.
“However, after carefully analyzing the ‘other future’ that you showed me, I have to admit that it’s an acceptable future too. It’s perfect, and I can’t see any big flaws.
“Therefore, it’s your turn to reveal your trump card. Aside from the theory of reincarnation, what other theories can help us better understand the world and… our own existence?”
“In the beginning, I didn’t have a more reliable explanation until I had a spiritual communication with the sleeping Ancient Dream Saintess through the crystal barrier. I suddenly had a feeling of… enlightenment.”
Meng Chao said, “I remember that the Ancient Dream Saintess excavated several lost temples in the process of establishing the Great Horn Army and earned her first bucket of gold for the rat people’s righteous
actions.
“Then, she found a valley at the junction between the Blood Hoof Clan and the Gold Clan, which neither clan had bothered to manage. It was an underground paradise with abundant spirit energy that served as the
Great Horn Army’s secret base.
“Even when the Great Horn Army and the Wolf Clan were engaged in a bloody battle, the Ancient Dream Saintess was able to predict the Wolf Clan’s tactics, the position of the command center, and the large storage
of provisions as if she had divine help. That’s why she was able to kill the Wolf Clan and leave them in such a sorry state at the beginning of the battle.
“If I’m not wrong, you must have leaked the information to her through your ‘dream transmission,’ right?”.
