Chapter 1695 Playing Chess with the Three Pillar Gods!
Reversal method?
Hearing these words, everyone’s faces were blank.
“The Queen Mother of the West is right, there are no inevitable consequences in this world. The chaos in Chang’an, Jialan swallowing the pill, the bloodbath at Yaochi… all of this is a cycle.
It’s precisely because I made Jialan eat the immortality pill that Jialan would appear in later generations. It’s precisely because I met Jialan in the future that I came back here and made Jialan eat the immortality pill… The chaos in Chang’an is like this, and so is Yaochi!
All of this is a paradox of cause and effect, a circle where the head connects to the tail, and the one who personally created these causal paradoxes is me from some point in the future!
Only by connecting cause and effect into a circle can it be completely hidden, can it escape the observation of [The Key to the Gate]!
Jialan swallowing the pill wasn’t predestined, nor was the establishment of the Evil Suppression Department… They seem unchangeable because at some point in time, I forcibly twisted these events into a circle with the power of cause and effect, beginning with me and ending with me, as if I had hidden my own causality, hiding this segment of history.
As long as they become paradoxical circles, no matter how [The Key to the Gate] changes history, it won’t affect these events. This is the [Predetermined Outcome] I’ve planted!”
After understanding all this, the chaotic and complex causality spanning two thousand years suddenly became clear in Lin Qiye’s eyes!
Above this chaotic causality, there was an invisible hand controlling everything… and this hand belonged to Lin Qiye himself at some point in the future, wielding [Causeless Cause] and [Predetermined Outcome]!
And all he did was aimed at that “eye” suspended above the river of time, one of the three Cthulhu pillar gods, [The Key to the Gate].
His future self was using “causality” to counter “omniscience”!
“I don’t understand?” Yan Zhong looked bewilderedly at Huo Qubing. “Marquis, do you understand?”
Huo Qubing shook his head, “No…”
“In the war against Cthulhu, humanity’s chance of victory is zero. This is the conclusion [The Key to the Gate] drew from observing all of human history, but this conclusion is limited to the history He observed… not the true history.” Lin Qiye turned his head to look at Chloe beside him,
“To defeat ‘omniscience,’ we must hide as much favorable history as possible. Only I can do this… So, the future Chloe used [The First Covenant] to send me back to this era, to begin this chess game spanning two thousand years of human history.
From the moment I returned to this era and awakened [Causeless Cause] and [Predetermined Outcome], humanity’s chance of victory was no longer zero…”
Lin Qiye took a white piece from the chess basket beside him and replaced a black piece in the corner of the board.
At this moment, among the board full of black pieces, a hopeful white piece finally appeared… Although it seemed insignificant compared to the entire game, it contained infinite possibilities.
“This first move to turn the tide is your [First Covenant], ‘Reversing cause and effect, finding life in death’!”
Chloe looked at Lin Qiye in confusion. Although she didn’t understand his meaning, it seemed like… she had done something incredibly impressive that changed the fate of humanity?
“So, you came back to this era just to play chess with someone?” Yan Zhong seemed to understand a little and walked to Lin Qiye’s side. “Who’s on the other side of the board?”
Lin Qiye’s gaze fell on the void across the stone platform. In a trance, he saw a door, a sheep, and a grinning black man.
He took a deep breath and slowly said: “The Three Pillar Gods.”
Looking at the black chess board with only one white piece, Yan Zhong couldn’t help but say:
“Looking at it this way, the chances still seem very slim… You’ve made your first move, what’s next?”
“To turn the tide, one chess piece is not enough. I need more pieces.”
Lin Qiye reached into the chess basket, grabbed forcefully, and a handful of white pieces fell into his palm.
Threads of causality extended from within him, connecting with these white pieces. [Causeless Cause] and [Predetermined Outcome] floated behind Lin Qiye, weaving one causal circle after another among these chess pieces.
“These chess pieces need to meet three conditions:
First, they exist in the future, two thousand years later.
Second, they have the potential to positively engage in battle with the Cthulhu mythos.
Third, there must be causality between them and my past self.
Only in this way can my future self remotely conceal their causal threads, making them completely disappear from [The Key to the Gate]’s observation… This way, they will, like me, transcend the control of the Cthulhu mythos and make their critical move at a crucial moment.”
“Remotely conceal their causal threads? Is that possible?”
“As long as they have causal connections with me, and through some medium, I can do it.”
“What medium?”
“The medium is right here, isn’t it?”
Lin Qiye opened his palm, and a handful of white chess pieces clattered onto the table.
“Causality as threads, white pieces as messages… sounds interesting.” Yan Zhong sighed helplessly. “Too bad I won’t see the scene two thousand years later.”
“Why wouldn’t you see it?” Lin Qiye’s lips curled into a smile as he pointed at Hu Jia nearby. “Have you forgotten that we have [Mind Travel]?”
“You mean… spiritual immortality?!”
“The people in this temple will not only see it but participate in it… Would you be at ease leaving humanity’s future solely to posterity?” Lin Qiye took a few pieces from the table and spread them in his palm.
His gaze swept across the dilapidated temple howling with snow and wind.
Huo Qubing, Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong, Gongyang Wan, Wu Quan, Chloe, Hu Jia, Jialan… They were the top talents of this era and shouldn’t be submerged in the river of time.
They were, in Lin Qiye’s mind, the original team against the Cthulhu mythos.
Hearing these words, everyone’s eyes showed movement. The unwillingness and fighting spirit engraved in their bones surged forth. When they thought about possibly participating in this chess game concerning humanity’s fate spanning two thousand years of history, their hearts grew hot.
Huo Qubing was the first to stand up. His black and gold marquis robe fluttered in the wind seeping through the door cracks. He calmly walked to Lin Qiye and took a white piece from his hand.
“Whether past or future generations, all are children of Yan and Huang. For the common people of this world, this marquis is willing to fight.”
