Chapter 3421 - Untitled
"I can't imagine that it is really possible to go back in time and change the past. Won't it bring a lot of problems?"
Theresa said, "For example, if someone goes back in time and kills their grandfather, how can they go back in time and kill their grandfather when it is impossible for them to be born? It is a self-contradictory cycle.
"Assuming that the Devourer really transmigrated from the future and that everything it did had caused certain disturbances in our era, for better or for worse, after billions of years of fermenting, just like the storm caused by the flapping of a butterfly's wings, it would certainly change its original future beyond recognition. It might not even exist anymore. Then, how could it transmigrate back and change everything?
"Oh my, it feels so complicated, so profound, and full of twists and turns."
"It's true that the mysteries of time are beyond the mysteries of space. Even though the Primeval Civilization extended the tentacles of their exploration to every corner of the multiverse where they could fold space at their will and reach the other side of the universe instantly, they failed to break through the barrier of time and go back even for one second.
Jade said, "Maybe, for the intelligent creatures in a higher dimension, time is not a continuous river but a giant painting made of countless solidified pieces of paper. As long as they pay a certain price, they can go back and paint on the paper. They can even insert new pieces of paper to guide the painting in a different direction.
"In other words, the past can't be changed, but the past can be created. Like a giant tree growing new branches, countless branches will be born. The Devourer is not trying to destroy the world, but to create a new one.
Theresa was deep in thought.
"I don't know…"
She mumbled, "Is the Devourer good or bad? Is it destruction or creation?"
"I don't know, either…"
"Are you human beings good or bad? Are you destroying the universe, or are you creating a new future?"
Theresa was speechless for a moment. She looked at Jade in silence.
"Don't think about it if you can't figure it out. After all, your brain has been absorbing the knowledge of the previous captains of Jade crazily recently. It is almost over-exhausted right now. There is no need to dwell on such irrelevant issues.
"Anyways, as you digest and absorb more and more of the captain's knowledge, you will be smarter and have stronger computational ability. You will be able to see through many problems that you could not see through in the past, schemes that you could not see through, and schemes that you could not understand. Maybe one day, you will figure out the good and evil of human beings and the devouring beasts, as well as creation and destruction.
"Now, take a good rest and prepare for the enthronement ceremony in ten days!"
…
Ten days later.
'Thousand Gates Mountain', the transportation hub of the Blood Demon Sector and the core of countless teleportation arrays.
A few months ago, the Exo Clan and the coalition army of the six clans had a fierce battle in this place.
But right now, all the traces of broken limbs and cannon fire had been cleaned up. The faces of the tens of thousands of devilized people of various species were beaming with smiles from the bottom of their hearts. They were dressed in red and green and teleported from the nests of various species in the depths of the demon world. Even though they had seen their mortal enemies in the past, the blades of the two parties were still kept in their sheaths and sheaths, replaced by strong bearhugs.
Hundreds of thousands of demons had gathered to watch a miracle named 'Saintess of the Giant Cannon, Theresa'.
It was said that the saintess was blessed by billions of devils of the Blood Demon Sector and boasted the greatest strength since the ancient times.
It was said that, when the evil devouring beast defeated the previous top expert of the demon world, Lord Cooper, the Holy Lady of the Giant Cannon also blew the devouring beast into pieces after only one shot.
It was said that the saintess' giant cannon was even more terrifying than ten giant guns. When the giant guns roared, the entire Blood Demon Sector trembled.
It was said that Kelly, the former Dark Red Queen, had acknowledged the Holy Lady of the Artillery as her sole successor. When the Holy Lady of the Artillery arrived in the crimson palace, all the treasures hidden in the palace were opened to her.
It was said that the Holy Lady of the Giant Cannon grasped the key to activate the entire devil world. It was under her manipulation that the power furnaces that had been sealed for ten thousand years were reignited one after another. Only in such a way could the devils get fresh food, clean water, air, and even powerful arsenals.
The most important part was that it was said that the Holy Lady of the Giant Cannon was astonishingly beautiful. Common words such as 'drifting fish and falling geese' were not enough to describe one ten-thousandth of her beauty. Such a devastatingly beautiful face, together with the awe-inspiring scene of her descending from the sky, made her look like the incarnation of the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of war.
All the devils who had seen the Holy Lady of the Giant Cannon on the battlefield were talking about how immaculate and beautiful she was.
The demons who had never seen the Holy Lady of the Giant Cannon before, through the embellishment of their companions, drew a vague picture in their minds. They were more and more curious about what the new ruler of the Blood Demon Sector looked like.
Even the jealous demonesses seemed to have no resistance against the Holy Lady of the Grand Cannon. The demonesses who had seen the Holy Lady of the Grand Cannon all said that there was a unique air about her that was beyond her gender. Even the demonesses were fascinated by her.
Therefore, the grand celebration where the saintess of the Giant Cannon was crowned as the king and became the new Queen of Crimson had become a joyous occasion for the entire Blood Demon Sector. Not only did the leaders and warriors of the seven demon clans who had been invited come as promised, they also kneeled on one of their knees and swore their fealty to the temporary palace on the Thousand Gates Mountain. Many other demons even crowded the periphery of the Thousand Gates Mountain uninvited, waiting for the most perfect and powerful saintess to reveal her true face.
"Beep… Beep… Beep…"
Almost a hundred devils with bulging chests and amazing lung capacity started blowing giant horns that were three meters long.
Dong—Dong—Dong—
The drums that had been installed on the guns had been dismantled and gathered on a super-large drumming platform that was almost a hundred square meters. The muscles of the hundreds of half-naked devils were bulging, while they beat the drums with all their strength. The drumming raised the expectation of the audience like surging tides.
Huala… Huala… Huala…
With the sound of armor rubbing against each other, hundreds of thousands of legs fell to one knee. Hundreds of thousands of fists bashed their chests. Hundreds of thousands of mouths opened at the same time and started singing the ancient battle hymn. Hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the temporary palace on the Thousand Gates Mountain, waiting for their saintess and their empress.
