Chapter 608 Never Lose Hope in This World
"What are you doing."
The girl wearing black-framed glasses was kneeling on the transparent glass. To be more precise, she was kneeling inside a huge transparent hourglass.
There was nothing in the hourglass except for a girl in school uniform who was constantly calculating something, with an almost numb calmness in her eyes.
Nothing around her could disturb her. Even if she heard the voices around her, the girl just continued with the calculation work at hand.
Fu Xuan's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea of using the Lifeless Sword to directly smash the hourglass. If he wanted to leave here, he would need the help of the hourglass girl.
When three systems had passed since Fu Xuan came to this world, she woke up in the second-floor carriage of the train, which was the same carriage where Robin, Star, and Firefly had their bedrooms.
She was the only one in the carriage. When she wanted to leave, she found that the door was blocked in an instant. She simply used Lifeless to break the door open. Although Pam would be very sad afterwards... it was better than losing an entire carriage.
The world that appeared before Fu Xuan's eyes was a vast star map, as if the purpose of this world's existence was to place the star map, and in the very center of the star map stood a giant transparent hourglass.
The hourglass girl was just calculating on her own and had no reaction to Fu Xuan's arrival.
Fu Xuan's heels tapped on the void, and every step created ripples like starlight. Thousands of stars were flowing under his feet, and each star was constantly intertwining between star tracks like abacus beads.
The hourglass girl is suspended in the hourglass in the center of the star disk. Whenever her fingertips pass through the void, a string of sand-like data will be brought up and transformed into light spots that fall into the hourglass below.
At the moment of sand falling, Fu Xuan captured that each grain of sand seemed to reflect something, some were clearly visible, while some were blurry like a faded dream.
Another system time passed, during which Fu Xuan just watched the changes of the stars under the star disk, until an ethereal voice came to his ears:
"calculate."
The voice of the hourglass girl echoed in the hourglass, ethereal and without any emotion. Her eyes reflected the constantly collapsing and reorganizing star map, sometimes turning into detailed numbers, and sometimes changing into complex hexagrams.
Fu Xuan's Dharma Eyes suddenly lit up, and at this moment she finally realized that those seemingly random grains of sand actually all followed certain established rules, and the grains of sand manifested themselves as the trajectories of the stars, driving the entire star disk to perform huge calculations.
The entire plane is a large formation constructed by the girl, which is even a formation that surpasses the Dayan Qiongguan Formation... No, it should be said that it is a formation that Fu Xuan has never seen before.
Fu Xuan found it hard to imagine what such a large formation would be used to calculate. What puzzled her even more was why the name of such a talented girl had never appeared in the universe.
She could see shadows of many formations within the large formation, but none of them could compare to the formation before her. The person who created this formation just quietly huddled in the hourglass, performing some calculations over and over again.
Until the flow of sand stopped, the hourglass girl finally stopped calculating, and the entire star disk dimmed, and thousands of stars fell at the same time.
"Foreign fortune teller, what do you want to know?" The hourglass girl finally had time to talk to Fu Xuan. Her eyes brightened slightly after seeing the Dharma Eye.
Fu Xuan stood in front of the hourglass, his amethyst-like eyes were particularly serious at this moment, "Have you figured out the answer?"
The hourglass girl seemed to have not expected Fu Xuan to ask such a question. In the past, all the people who came to this plane asked questions such as "What are you calculating", "What kind of formation is this", "V You come to be my employee when you are fifty", and she naturally had no interest in replying.
Answer...
The hourglass girl also thought carefully before answering, "I don't know."
The two fortune tellers with equally arrogant personalities just looked at each other, and neither of them took the initiative to say a second word.
Finally, it was the hourglass girl who took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, "Your eyes, were given to you by Him?" The 'He' here naturally refers to Master Bo Shi.
As an intelligent star god, all formations in the universe are inextricably linked to Him. The hourglass girl naturally knows this, so after seeing the Dharma Eye, she chooses to continue communicating with Fu Xuan.
Under normal circumstances, if someone trespassed into her private dimension, they would definitely be thrown under the star disk to fend for themselves, not to mention that the guy came in with a carriage.
Fortunately, the star disk itself is extremely strong. If a big hole was really smashed into it, the hourglass girl would be really angry.
"Before you answer the questions, can you tell me your name?" Fu Xuan could feel that the girl in front of him had no ill intentions. She just rarely communicated with others, and it took a lot of effort for her to be able to speak.
"Fu Li."
The hourglass girl recalled carefully for a few seconds before she unsurely said the name that had not been mentioned for a long time. In the Super Dimension Star Abyss, no one would care about someone's past, so the name was meaningless.
Fu Xuan's gaze moved from Fu Li's same amethyst eyes to the same pink hair, thinking to himself, as expected, no wonder he felt so familiar with it the first time he saw it.
The Fu family was born as a family of fortune tellers before the existence of Yuque, and during this long period of time, there was only one great fortune teller, Fu Xuan.
But before Fu Xuan, there was a true divination genius. At the age of three, he used tea to deduce the orbits of stars on the star map, at the age of six, he studied all the formations of the Immortal Boat, at the age of nine, he created the Dongxuan Ziwei Formation to deduce the fortune of Yuque in the next hundred years, and at the age of twelve, he became the youngest candidate for the Grand Diviner in the history of the Immortal Boat.
Fu Li is regarded as the hope of the Fu family and the youngest general of the immortal boat who is most likely to appear in Yuque in the future.
But one day, Fu Li disappeared without any warning in Taibusi, and even the envelope was not left behind.
"I am Fu Xuan, the former Luofu Grand Bu, and now an unknown guest on the Starry Sky Train," Fu Xuan said. When he saw that there was no emotion in Fu Li's eyes, he knew that she had seen this moment in the past.
If calculated according to the time of the Immortal Boat, Fu Li at this moment might be more than a thousand years old or even older, but Fu Xuan could not see any signs of aging on Fu Li's body.
With Fu Li's qualifications, she can even be considered the ancestor of the Fu family, and her tablet is still placed in the ancestral hall today.
"You are quite good to be given the 'eyes' by Him."
There was no trace of an old man in Fu Li's demeanor. She answered the question like a real girl, "From the moment I saw the universe, I have been calculating."
"calculate?"
"Calculate the end of the universe."
Fu Li sat in the middle of the hourglass and raised his hand to catch the sand that fell from the hourglass. "Do you know the pi of the universe? Everyone knows that it has no end. Even if it is calculated to 105 trillion digits, there will still be people who will not tire of continuing to calculate it."
Fu Xuan didn't understand, and asked like the most serious student: "Existence has meaning, and having no meaning is also a kind of meaning."
"you're right!"
Fu Li's amethyst-like eyes still held a girlish light. "From the first time I saw the universe, I was thinking, the universe is really huge, can such a universe be calculated to its end?"
Divination has an end, and star maps will eventually be seen through. Even formations will become infinitely similar after being created hundreds of times.
But the world won’t, the world will never have an end.
"So... it's to calculate the end of the universe?"
"Yes."
Fu Li smiled, with only persistence in his eyes.
Fu Xuan didn’t understand. What existed at the end of the universe had nothing to do with her. Perhaps this was how normal people thought.
The end of the universe...but people don’t even know whether the universe has an end. And even if they could see the end, what would it change?
Gravel of sand fell along the outer wall of the transparent hourglass, and a new round of calculation began again.
This time Fu Xuan saw it more clearly. Every grain of sand contained a picture. What was clearly visible was Jingtian calling for the patrolling light arrows to descend. What was blurry was like the pink-haired girl taking the hourglass with both hands, and someone turning into new sand in front of her.
The past and the future are intertwined, and all will become sand in Fu Li's palm and become chess pieces for deduction.
The star map shone again. Fu Li used the past and the future as chess pieces and the universe as the star map, and began a new round of calculations for the end that he didn't know whether it existed or not.
Fu Xuan watched in silence, but the words he had just said flashed through his mind.
No meaning is also a meaning.
When the sand fell into the hourglass below, Fu Li suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "What did you see?" There was no Dharma Eye on her forehead, but there was a truth between her eyes that surpassed the Dharma Eye.
Suddenly, the scenery among the sand and gravel all appeared in Fu Xuan's pupils. She saw the patrolling meteors shining in the universe for the first time, she saw countless cloud riders dying in bloody battles to carry out their will, and she saw the immortal boats sinking into the sea of stars in the fire of destruction.
Every grain of sand is a deduction, and every deduction is a predetermined future.
"The same fate you were trying to escape."
“The same will be true in the future.”
Fu Li just quietly watched the sand flowing in her palm. She had seen the same scene countless times but never got an answer.
At this moment, countless suspended grains of sand were reflected in Fu Xuan's Dharma Eyes, and Fu Li's story appeared before his eyes as if he had experienced it himself.
My name is Fu Li.
I have seen many stars since the first second I was born.
The adults said that as long as you learn divination, you will be able to recognize all the stars, so I spent three years learning divination and also learned how to use star maps to deduce.
I found it difficult to observe all the star tracks through divination, so I spent another three years learning all the formations of the Immortal Boat, and based on this, I observed future fragments related to Yuque.
Taibu told me that peeking into the future requires a stronger spirit, but it also comes at a certain price.
cost?
I just want to see that future clearly.
Another three years passed, and based on all the formations I had learned, I created the unique Dongxuan Zihui formation. With this formation as a foundation, I could glimpse into the more distant future.
I began to deduce day and night, one hour, one day, one week - the farther into the future I could see, the more powerless I felt.
I saw that the little white cat next door would be bitten to death by a vicious dog that rushed out, so I closed the door next door in advance, but the white cat was still bitten to death by the vicious dog that climbed over the wall.
I saw the conspiracy brewing by the Cinder Legion, but the Cloud Riders who got the intelligence were harmed by the Abundant Evil.
I finally understand that only the future can be changed, but not the result... In other words, the future has never been changed.
So this is the price that Taibu mentioned.
The price of having "eyes" is having the power to see the future, but being unable to change anything.
It turns out...this is the real divination.
Observe, witness, and remain silent.
I can only become mute and watch the observed future reappear before my eyes, so...what is the answer?
If I could see farther, to the end of the universe, could I save those who have passed away?
Even though I don't know your name, I want to do something even if it's just our first meeting in the moment of looking into the future.
If I could see all the futures of the universe and every possible outcome, would I be able to find the timeline that saves everyone?
I want to find the perfect timeline.
I will calculate the end of the universe.
I left Yuque without saying goodbye. The day before I left, the old fortune teller just smiled at me. I knew she saw my future of departure.
I am leaving.
So...the result remains unchanged, even my departure remains the same.
Later, I traveled to many planets and witnessed the future time and time again. When I closed my eyes, I could only feel sadness and confusion.
Until I saw him.
In the moment before the end of the universe, his face was blurred in the dust of time, but his voice echoed heavily in my ears.
“Never lose hope in this world.”
That sight spanned an incalculable amount of time, as if it was waiting for my arrival at the end of the universe.
The dead white cat used the extra time to protect its cubs, and the Cloud Cavalry team that died under the abundant evil creatures provided sufficient intelligence for the Cloud Cavalry Army to wipe out an entire evil creature stronghold, and there were no casualties in the subsequent attacks.
An imperfect time also has its meaning.
It is unfortunate but also fortunate that I can see the end at the beginning.
Fu Li’s long life flashed across Fu Xuan’s pupils. Until now, Fu Li was still here calculating the end of the universe.
"Some people say that when pi is calculated to the end, the formula for reversing time will be established," Fu Li held a handful of gravel and looked at Fu Xuan with a meaningful look in his eyes.
If we calculate the universe to the end, can we reverse all imperfections and reach the perfect timeline?
"What did you...see about me?"
Only then did Fu Xuan understand why Fu Li, who had clearly seen everything, still pretended to understand nothing when talking to her.
"The person whose destiny was cut short," Fu Xuan couldn't even see the movements of the person in the hourglass. Fu Li appeared in front of her the next second, gently stroking the Dharma Eye on her forehead with his palm.
"Your Eyes can do more than just watch."
The next moment, a sharp pain arose from his forehead. Fu Xuan groaned in pain and almost fainted from the intense pain.
But she still kept her eyes open and saw the smile on Fu Li's lips.
When Fu Li removed her hand, the pain of flesh and blood rejection that had accompanied her since she acquired the Dharma Eye suddenly disappeared.
I make up, I make up, I make up!!!
