Chapter 907 The Changed History
“Even so, shouldn’t there have been time to react?” Lin Qiye frowned, “When that red moon first appeared, didn’t the gods of Takamagahara take any measures?”
“Of course they did.”
Merlin’s gaze drifted to the blood-red world outside the carriage, several starlight traces crossing his eyes as if peering at something, “After the red moon appeared, the gods of Takamagahara found a way to block the red moon’s radiation, resisting this contamination.
After the red moon became ineffective, they began to use another method.”
Lin Qiye seemed to realize something, “The whale fall?”
“Correct.” Merlin nodded slightly, “The red moon’s contamination was more like a gradually accumulating chronic toxin. As time passed, emotions and rationality would slowly lose control, but this method wasn’t enough to control the gods of Takamagahara.
Since chronic contamination didn’t work, they had to create a more intense contamination, and this contamination itself had to be able to pass through the welcoming gate to enter Takamagahara…
So they turned their attention to the transformed whale corpse at the bottom of the deep sea.
The transformed whale was incredibly huge, itself at the god-level realm, capable of carrying massive amounts of contamination, and it had the qualification to enter Takamagahara. Once placed inside Takamagahara, it would be like a nuclear bomb loaded with massive contamination, instantly exploding and driving all Takamagahara gods into madness, completely losing their rationality.
At that time, a completely insane pantheon would bring an unprecedented disaster to the world.”
Lin Qiye’s mind was violently shaken!
In his mind, he could already envision a group of crimson-eyed, mad and violent gods bursting out of the welcoming gate, carrying vast seas of blood, sweeping across the world.
And closest to Japan… was Da Xia.
Once the maddened Takamagahara gods broke out, Da Xia would inevitably be the first to suffer.
Keep in mind, this was over fifty years ago!
In that era, Da Xia’s gods were still languishing in reincarnation, there were no war fortresses guarding the borders, and technological development was relatively backward… Although in that era, there were still Night Watchmen, human pinnacles, and special teams…
But could they really stop this catastrophe? Even if they could stop it, what terrible price would Da Xia have to pay?
“So… this is the catastrophe you spoke of.” A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Lin Qiye’s mouth.
“But unexpectedly, a time god from Da Xia emerged from the river of time.” Wonder appeared in Merlin’s eyes, “He was very clever, he knew he couldn’t possibly contend with the gods of Takamagahara, nor could he prevent the red moon’s descent, so he found the true source of this catastrophe and used the simplest yet most effective method to lock the time of that fishing village.
With this lock, the transformed whale couldn’t be revived in time, and the Takamagahara gods didn’t fall into madness because of it. He forcibly delayed this catastrophe by more than fifty years.
He rewrote the history of this world.”
At this moment, Lin Qiye’s mind once again recalled that elderly figure sitting alone on a small boat, drifting on the sea surface…
But he still couldn’t understand why the elderly Wang Mian sent them to Japan? Was it related to this catastrophe?
Just then, Lin Qiye seemed to think of something and turned to look outside the window.
“Lord Merlin, if according to what you say, he prevented the transformed whale from returning to Takamagahara, then why did Takamagahara still end up like this?”
“The existence of all things has its originally predetermined trajectory, this is fate… Although he went back to the past and changed history, fate itself possesses the ability to self-correct, some things are destined to happen.”
This statement from Merlin sounded familiar to Lin Qiye; if he remembered correctly, Black Pupil had said something similar back then.
But he still couldn’t fully understand.
Seeing the confusion still on Lin Qiye’s face, Merlin patiently explained: “For example, even if he prevented the transformed whale from returning to Takamagahara, would the Cthulhu gods sealed on the moon not take other measures? Would they completely give up just because one method didn’t work?
Of course not.
They might use other methods, in another form, to lead everything to the result they wanted.
This is what I mean by fate’s ability to self-correct.
Some people, some events, their existence and fate’s trajectory are predetermined. Even if you go back in time and change history repeatedly, what’s meant to happen will still happen, just possibly through another unexpected path.
What he achieved was already quite remarkable.”
Lin Qiye nodded, “You mean… the catastrophe didn’t disappear because of his actions, it was just delayed?”
“You could say that.”
“Then what exactly happened to the current Takamagahara?” Lin Qiye returned to the initial question, “The transformed whale’s return was prevented, and the Takamagahara gods found a way to resist the red moon, I don’t understand how this place became like this?”
Merlin’s fingers lightly tapped the window frame, his gaze growing more profound, “A traitor appeared among the Takamagahara gods.”
“A traitor?”
“After the Takamagahara gods successfully resisted the red moon, some gods among them pledged allegiance to the red moon, directly breaking down the defenses from within and igniting a divine war. Under the red moon’s contamination, numerous gods fought each other, ultimately turning Takamagahara into this state.”
Lin Qiye pondered thoughtfully.
From external conditions, the Takamagahara gods indeed shouldn’t have fallen, but if problems arose internally, that was different…
Lin Qiye opened his mouth, about to ask something more, when he suddenly paused and frowned, looking outside the window.
At the edge of the desolate land, several giant figures dripping with black liquid slowly stood up. Their enormous silhouettes cast demonic shadows under the red moon, and pairs of crimson eyes fell upon the speeding carriage, flashing with fierce and violent light.
They roared, like ferocious beasts catching the scent of blood, running on all fours towards the carriage.
As soon as his mental power sensed these monsters, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed.
“What are those?”
Merlin didn’t even look at them, calmly saying, “After the divine war, many gods fell here. Under the influence of that red moon, their remaining divine power merged with the violent energy left at their death, forming monsters similar to grudges. You can call them corpse beasts, like a certain young person who’s been here before.”
A certain young person who’s been here before? Corpse beasts?
Lin Qiye found that since Merlin left the hospital, his words were becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
