"The Fool's" Birthday Gift

Latest website: Above the gray fog, Klein leaned back on his chair, took a few deep breaths, and then said to Abner, who was looking at him with a half-smile on the side of the ancient bronze table:

"Is it that interesting to let me die in society?"

At this time, the special "Tarot Club" had ended, and only two "pillars", Klein and Abner, were left in this ancient palace that seemed to be the residence of the gods.

Hearing Klein's question, Abner raised the corners of his lips, nodded "seriously" and said, "To me, it's very interesting!"

Regarding the "honesty" of this harmful friend, Klein was speechless for a long time. He gritted his teeth and said: "You are indeed an ancient god who has combined the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest'... Are you afraid that I will beat you up now and record it for you?" Are your 'friends' watching?

"You here are just an information body. In front of me now, there is no room for resistance."

As for where Abner's body is and what he is doing, although Klein can guess it, he doesn't want to pay attention to it at all.

Abner smiled "haha": "It's as if you are not a 'cat and cat bug' here..."

Klein's true body is naturally with Miss Temperance at the moment.

"Cat Cat Bug...what the hell is this called?" Klein complained. Seeing that he couldn't scare the other party, he turned to ask bitterly, "Speaking of which, what on earth did you play for Sharon alone?"

"It's nothing, it's just the dream you had under the erosion of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' in the original work... Well, you have seen my editing of "Confessions of a Fool" in my Kingdom of God before, and you should have an impression of that part... ...It fully shows that even in a world without me, you still covet Miss Sharon, and I am afraid she will be very moved after seeing it." Abner said at the end, even his eyes curled up.

Although Sharon was not the only "heroine" in that dream.

move? I dare not move now, okay? While slandering, Klein glanced at Abner with contempt, gritted his teeth and said, "Do I still have to say thank you to you?"

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Abner said seriously.

After the two of them insulted each other for a while, Klein stopped their meaningless bickering, stared at Abner and said, "It seems that even though you have become a 'pillar,' your humanity has remained quite good."

Abner kept smiling, but responded in a calm tone: "I am originally part of her as a 'person'... But even so, I have been affected to a considerable extent, so I need 'fun' to consolidate it." , strengthen my most profound character as a 'human being'.

"After all, I am the 'Lord of Pleasure and Pleasure.'"

"No wonder this special Tarot seems a bit deliberate... Is it because you were in a bad state at the time and needed to use this to stabilize your humanity?" Klein asked thoughtfully.

"No..." Abner stretched out his right index finger and shook it, "Sincerely", "I just want to see you die in society."

Hearing this, Klein was stunned and immediately clenched his fists.

"As expected of the old days that accommodated the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest', I recognize your ability to provoke." After a while, Klein sighed again.

Abner shook his head again and said: "In fact, I no longer have the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest'... At the moment when the old days were achieved, the new pillars were 'the beginning of desire, the beginning of destruction, the origin of the fall, the unknown The symbol, the tower that guides all things, was born, and then the new source of matter, the Fallen Tower, was born, as well as many extraordinary characteristics of the three paths of the 'Lighthouse', the 'Profane Priest', and the 'Herrscher'.

"And the three parts of uniqueness, the nine parts of Sequence 1 characteristics of different pathways, and the three 'sources' that I originally integrated when I was an ancient god have all returned to the earth."

Klein frowned, and asked after a long time: "The scene when you achieved the 'Pillar' was not in the 'Mist of History', and I couldn't see it... However, the characteristics of those three paths below sequence 1 were scattered all over the world. But I can learn some information about the universe... Its scope of authority generally corresponds to that of your three ancient gods...

"What exactly is this 'unknown' pillar? Why can new pathways and sefirot be born, even so similar to the 'old days' you pieced together?"

When asked, Abner did not answer immediately, but asked instead: "You should know that the concept of 'unknown' was 'originally' created when he saw 'Liu Bo' traveling through time, right?"

"I know." Klein nodded. Having had contact with "Tianzun", he naturally gained a lot of "knowledge" from "Tianzun".

And "Tianzun" is one of the "original" personalities. It is not wrong to say that she is the "original".

“In fact, the ‘unknown’ past was already born the moment I saw ‘Liu Bo’ for the first time.

“She is composed of two parts: the symbol and authority given by the ‘original’, and the ‘initially’ incomprehensible power that ‘Liu Bo’ brought back from higher dimensions.

"Because it is 'unknown', this past is like 'Schrödinger's cat'. All attributes such as the path, source of matter, and even the scope of authority are 'unknown', and she can even be treated as if she does not exist.

"But this 'pillar' essentially represents the process of struggle and integration between the 'original' and 'Liu Bo'. That's why the 'Liu Bo's' of the previous generations before the 'God of Luck' would collect extraordinary paths and sources, allowing Authority and symbols move closer to this essence... because once you piece together the past with similar concepts, you can be the first to tilt the 'unknown pillar' towards your side and gain this power.

“To put it simply, whoever gets close to the essence of the ‘unknown pillar’ first can obtain this ‘pillar’ and make it become his own ‘shape’.

"Of course, this 'who' is limited to 'me' and 'Liu Bo'. Outsiders cannot get close, or even get close at all, because they cannot withstand the power from the real higher dimensions.

"So, after I accommodated the three ancient gods and three sefirot, and became the old days in one fell swoop, the 'unknown pillar' gave birth to the three paths and sefirot in my 'shape', and merged with me perfectly. As one body.

"At the same time, the essence and characteristics I contained before were naturally discharged on their own."

After explaining this, Abner organized the next sentence and continued, "If it weren't for the betrayal of the 'God of Luck', once Liu Bo, who secretly controlled the 'Primal Hunger', woke up, he would probably be able to eat like a 'buffet' In the same way, you can choose at will among many 'ingredients' to achieve the effect of being close to the 'unknown', and instantly possess the most advanced power in the universe...

"Although, that's not actually what she wants."

Hearing Abner's last exclamation, although Klein didn't quite understand it, he didn't rush to ask. Instead, he nodded suddenly and said:

"No wonder 'Lighthouse', 'Priest of Blasphemy', and 'Herrscher' basically correspond to your original three ancient gods, 'God of Truth', 'Demon Emperor', and 'God of War and Destruction'. It turns out that they were originally Generated by 'blueprint'.

"Well, compared with the original, the authority of these three adjacent pathways is slightly overlapping, and the symbol of 'unknown' is also added."

After hearing his words, Abner smiled and continued: "The 'Lighthouse' path begins with the 'tour guide' or 'guide' sequence, which reflects the 'initial' exploration and understanding of the 'unknown' power.

"The path of 'blaspheming the priest' actually 'blasphemes' the 'original'... She starts from the 'servant' and gradually approaches the external 'unknown' power. This is the blasphemy of the 'original'... Therefore, this path The Path embodies the erosion of the 'original' divinity by 'unknown' forces.

“Whether it is the ‘initial’ exploration of the ‘unknown’ or the ‘unknown’ erosion of the ‘initial’, there will be a day when the ‘winner’ will be determined.

"At that time, whether the 'original' fully understands the 'unknown', or the power of the 'unknown' has completely eroded the divinity of the 'original', it means that the two will finally merge, then destroy the old era and open up the destiny of the new universe. ...This is inevitable!

"This destiny that represents the inevitable end of the universe due to the fusion of the 'unknown' and the 'original' is the symbol of the third path under the 'Tower', the 'Herrscher'.

"The Herrscher begins with the sequence of the Ranger, who is both a defender of the current system and a destroyer of the current system. It also implies the 'mission' of destroying the 'old rules' and opening up the 'new rules' .

"In short, the 'Lighthouse', the Blasphemous Priest, the Herrscher, as a pillar, the beginning of desire, the beginning of destruction, the origin of corruption, the unknown symbol, the path of the subordinates of the Tower that guides all things, still embodies the 'original' The current situation and future of the struggle against 'Liu Bo'... are also the essence of the 'Unknown Pillar'."

The name "Herrscher" is naturally a joke played by Abner. After all, "Herrscher" in a certain game originally represents "the unfathomable will of God", the messenger of "collapse" of the world, and "the Herrscher". The states of "unknown" and "the end of the world" are relatively consistent.

"It turns out that... the so-called pillar 'tower' is tempted by 'desire', comes into contact with the 'unknown', and gradually 'falls', leading to 'destruction' coming, destroying the old 'tower', and finally exploring a new path , the process of rebuilding a new 'tower'..." As he said that, Klein suddenly chuckled and laughed at himself, "Oh, now I also rely on the power of the 'unknown' to resist the pollution of the 'Tianzun' resurgence. From the 'initial' point of view, I was also tempted by 'desire' and began to 'fall', right?"

"Whether it is 'fallen' or not depends on whether the 'initial' future wins, or the 'unknown' power wins... But they are still in a stalemate, and both 'erosion' and 'exploration' are progressing slowly. According to my calculations , at least you have to do dozens or hundreds of sit-ups 'initially' before you can get preliminary results.

"The 'universe' will be destroyed countless times during this period, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being."

Although this may only be a matter of dozens of sleeps "in the beginning", in the eyes of "young" people like Abner and Klein, the process of dozens of universes being destroyed and restarted is "trillions of years" They were just basic units. It was a long enough time to be called "eternal".

"Speaking of which, the symbol of the pillar 'the beginning of desire, the beginning of destruction, the origin of corruption, the symbol of the unknown, the tower that guides all things' is almost the same as the positive interpretation of the 'Tower' card in the Tarot. Did you originally When I chose the 'Tower' card as my code name, I may have been destined to become this 'pillar.'" Klein joked with a smile.

"On the contrary, it was my appearance that broke the 'ring' of fate." Abner shook his head seriously.

"How do you say that?" As the "quasi-lord of mysteries", although Klein observed some things, he was unable to see the whole picture.

"According to the established destiny, it was 'Liu Bo' who should have won. The 'Unknown Pillar' was created based on the three old days of 'The Ring of Fate', 'Original Hunger' and 'The Declined King', and then merged again." The will and authority of the high-dimensional overlookers have gone to the real 'higher dimension'.

"This is bound to happen... because our universe and the 'high-dimensional universe' where 'Liu Bo' went came into contact with the so-called 'chance' because of the power from the 'Ring of Fate' she brought. The more high-end 'destiny' forms a 'ring'.

"This is the power of the 'Circle of Fate' that has been sublimated in a 'high-dimensional' environment.

"In general, the 'high-dimensional overlooker' merged with the 'unknown pillar' and then ascended to the high-dimensional world where the reader 'Liu Bo' is, and merged with it, and then tens of thousands of years later, he encountered a powerful enemy. , was severely injured and reduced in dimension, returning to the time when our universe 'first' woke up..."

Klein understood what he heard here, so he answered: "Then, she became the 'Unknown Pillar' again, merged with the will of the 'High-dimensional Overlooker', and ascended the dimension to where the same 'Liu Bo' was. The high-dimensional world...then comes back again?

"Tsk, this is a bit like my 'grafting'."

"Yes, this has become a circle of 'fate', which cannot be changed at all. It can only cycle over and over again... And any actions she takes that are not in line with the 'circle' will be corrected by 'fate', which means nothing..." To her, this was like a 'sea of ​​suffering'. She knew everything, but she could only watch herself making the same mistakes over and over again in this cycle.

"But she can only blame herself. After all, she fell into such a situation when she was competing for the so-called further 'opportunity.'" Abner shook his head when he said this, deeply feeling that the high-dimensional world after thirty years old "Liu Bo" is definitely a "high-dimensional overlooker" who is taking the lead. If it were him, he would definitely not take huge risks to fight for so-called "opportunities."

Seeing that this topic was getting more and more serious, Klein asked in order to lighten the atmosphere: "Then... is the 'Liu Bo' who was sleeping before, the reader Liu Bo, or the 'high-dimensional overlooker'?"

"This is a question of which came first, the egg or the chicken... But I prefer the fusion state of the 'high-dimensional overlooker' and 'Liu Bo'... But this time she got rid of the 'ring' and finally 'ascended the dimension' At that time, he left me the part that was 'Liu Bo' and the 'unknown land' that contained the power of that high-dimensional world, so as not to 'upgrade' again to the high-dimensional world with 'Liu Bo'." Ai Buna explained with a smile.

"Then how did she break the 'ring' of fate this time?" Klein asked thoughtfully.

Abner spread his hands and said: "Perhaps it is an accident accumulated through many cycles... Maybe it is because she gradually understood this higher-end power of 'destiny', found a flaw, and overcame the 'sea of ​​suffering'... The specific reason I don't know, but the result is that I defeated her and became the 'unknown pillar'!

"And the fact that I successfully became the 'Pillar' means that she can no longer approach the 'Unknown Pillar' with the 'Circle of Fate' and other three past days, and it also means that she cannot bring the authority generated by the 'Circle of Fate' with her. Going to high dimensions... and losing the basic conditions for the power of the 'ring of destiny' to sublimate in high dimensions, the 'ring' will naturally be 'broken'.

"And because she was worried that the 'ring' might correct itself, she immediately merged with the 'high-dimensional overlooker' after she 'lost' and ascended to other 'high-dimensional' universes. Only then could she completely get rid of the 'ring' limits."

"She doesn't need to be a 'pillar' to be able to 'ascend the dimension'? She even left her previous power behind?" Klein thought for a while and made a judgment, "So it seems that she is indeed in a constant cycle. You are trying your best to understand the power of this 'ring', your success may not be an accident..."

"I think so too... She should have reached her 'realm', and maybe she can get out on her own after a few more cycles... But obviously she doesn't have the patience anymore. After all, I'm in danger of winning this time, and I won't end up without you." The little bit of 'unknown' power that I can control will probably still lead to failure." Abner nodded slightly.

"When an opportunity arises, it's natural to give it a try." After figuring out the whole story, Klein stopped continuing the topic. He looked at Abner and said angrily, "So, now you can become a complete pillar. Or am I the one who deserves the most credit? But you repay me by watching me have fun?"

"How could it be?" At this time, Abner stood up and said mysteriously, "The birthday gift I prepared for you has just been 'finished'... Do you want to take a look?"

Klein stared into Abner's eyes for a few seconds, then took out the pendulum to "divide" in front of him...

Although this is completely useless.

After a while, the two passed through the "dimensional passage" and entered a "low-dimensional world" where there were many tall buildings and bright lights, which was the standard night scene in a bustling city before the first era.

"This is..." Standing high in the sky, Klein was reluctant to look away.

"This is a 'parallel world' that evolved based on the earth's information devoured by 'Primal Hunger' in that era... Although we can never go back, we can still find some memories here." Abner pointed. said a community in the city below.

That was Zhou Mingrui's former home.

Klein also stared there, and after a long time he asked as if changing the subject: "The famous 'missing 20 seconds' incident?"

A few days before Zhou Mingrui bought the offline vertical version of "Minutes of the Secret Alchemy of Qin and Han Dynasties", someone discovered through observation of the trajectory of celestial bodies that the global time seemed to have lost 20 seconds... This caused a stir in the astronomy circle, and the Internet It was noisy, but it didn't affect ordinary people's lives.

"Yes." Abner nodded.

The "primordial hunger" that came to the earth for unknown reasons used the authority of the "collector" to "purchase" twenty seconds of information on the earth's surface.

"It turns out to be the power of 'Primal Hunger'... Since she is willing to give you this 'collection', is it because you have released her control?" Klein asked.

After "Liu Bo" and "High Dimensional Overlooker" left, control of "Primal Hunger" naturally transferred to Abner's hands.

"We still have to wait... The 'Fallen Mother Goddess' and the 'Mother Tree of Desire' have no idea what the birth of the 'Tower' means, and they still think they have a chance..."

Abner didn't mention much about how he dealt with "Primal Hunger." He simply replied and pointed to the community below:

"Why don't you take Miss Sharon to visit your parents?

"Although it's just a 'low-dimensional world', they are all the continuation of the 'missing 20 seconds' on another line of fate. They are essentially no different from your parents."

Klein's lips moved and he did not escape anymore. He nodded seriously and said:

"Thank you for this birthday gift...I like it very much!"
