Chapter 390
Chen Ye’s eyes were fixed on Loki’s face, with a complex mixture of emotions – curiosity, doubt, and even a hint of subtle fear.
His silence was not because he had nothing to say, but because the surging thoughts in his heart were like the sea in a storm, difficult to calm down.
He longed to get answers from Loki, all the mysteries about himself, about the future, and about this seemingly familiar yet extremely strange world.
“Loki,” Chen Ye finally spoke in a low and firm voice, “What exactly is the ‘last meeting’ you mentioned? What does my previous life mean?”
“Don’t be too nervous, you don’t belong to this world, but at the same time you also belong to this world.” Loki’s ambiguous words confused Chen Ye.
Chen Ye had a feeling that since he stepped into this place, it was as if a big hand was controlling him, as if someone was pushing him forward when he came here.
And when he heard Loki’s words, he felt that he had a big secret, and perhaps it could be solved today.
Loki continued to explain: “Your soul did not belong to this world in your previous life, but in this life your soul has been printed on this world, which is what you call the Marvel world. In this life, you are a real Marvel person, do you understand?”
“If you don’t believe it, there is another piece of evidence, which is why you have been to so many multiverses, but you have not seen your variant, because you have always been a special existence.”
After hearing this, Chen Ye understood that he was indeed a time traveler, but it had nothing to do with him. He was a time traveler in his previous life. For some reason, he had a second life and then reincarnated in the Marvel world.
But why did Loki know?
What was Chen Ye like in his previous life, and why did he not have any memory of this.
Then what about the memory in his mind?
And from what Loki said, he knew that he was in the comic world. Doesn’t he care at all?
Loki’s laughter echoed in the quiet air, and there was a bit of playfulness and depth in that laughter, as if he could see into the essence of all things in the world.
He gently swayed the branches in his hand, and each branch seemed to carry endless stories and possibilities. That was the universe he saw from his unique perspective as the god of time and trickery.
“Comics? Oh, what a narrow definition.”
His words were full of disdain, but full of philosophy.
“In this vast multiverse, who can assert what is real and what is illusory?”
“Perhaps, what we think of as reality is nothing more than a painting by a higher dimensional being, and you are just a character walking in the painting.”
“How can you be sure that the previous universe was not a so-called comic or written by someone else?”
He looked up into the distance, his eyes flashing with curiosity and desire to explore the unknown world.
“How can you be sure that every choice and every breath you make has not been carefully choreographed by some force? Just like an actor on stage, even if he knows the script, he still has to perform according to the established trajectory.”
“But it is this uncertainty that gives life meaning.” Loki’s tone became gentle and firm.
“Whether this world is true or false, as long as we perceive it with our hearts and experience it with love, it is real. Because, whether it is real or not is just a product of subjective cognition. What the heart desires is the truth.”
He waved the branch in his hand gently, as if he was controlling the flow of countless timelines.
“Look, these timelines, they interweave and collide, forming our complex and ever-changing world. Although I can see a little bit, I can’t fully control it.
Because every life form has its own free will, and their choices will create countless possibilities.”
“The same is true for the timelines in my hands. When they make new changes, new branches will be generated. These are all proofs.”
“I am different from Kang. Kang wrote the script himself, and humans can only act according to his script. But I am willing to let humans write their own scripts.”
In fact, Loki doesn’t care much about the so-called comic world. For people at his level, it doesn’t matter whether they are controlled by humans.
For other humans in the Marvel Universe, he is what people call a “screenwriter”.
You know, his greatest pleasure when he is bored is to arrange scripts for these humans.
Even if you tell these humans that all this is a script, humans will not believe it. If the result is good, humans will only believe that all this is through their own efforts.
And the result is likeIf it is bad, they will complain about the injustice of fate. They will not believe that all this has been arranged. They do not believe that the results of all their efforts have been predetermined.
This is human nature.
Take Deadpool as an example. He is a being who can break the fourth wall. Even if he knows that this universe is a comic book, so what? They still live honestly in this universe.
Deadpools are still running for life. Even if they know it, it is meaningless. The crazier one is nothing more than the killer Deadpool who starts to slaughter the entire Marvel universe.
How could Loki not know the existence of the killer Deadpool? Although the extreme killer Deadpool tried to rewrite everything with violence, it was just a part of the script that had been set long ago. Every time he resisted, it was just a part of the universe’s self-correction.
And he is destined to fail. No matter how many times he tries, there will always be someone to stop him. Even if he succeeds, the entire multiverse will be restarted.
So would it be better to know that you are a character in a comic book?
Loki doesn’t think so. Sometimes people know less, the better. He believes that sometimes ignorance is a kind of happiness, which can make people focus more on the life in front of them and cherish every opportunity to choose.
Chen Ye didn’t know whether Loki’s answer was true or not. Who can guarantee whether the universe he traveled through is also the so-called comic world? Even Chen Ye is not sure whether his travel through time is also arranged.
Even the system doesn’t know whether it is arranged by someone, which makes Chen Ye suddenly feel a little at a loss.
If it is really as Loki said, then his system and so-called friends are all controlled by someone?
Chen Ye doesn’t like the feeling of being controlled by others, even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility.
But from the current situation, his appearance and the system are arranged, to be precise, they were arranged by him in his previous life.
Chen Ye urgently knows a way to get rid of all this, and he knows that Loki may have a way.
“So is there any way to transcend?”
“There should be, but I don’t know, but you yourself or your previous life knows.”
“Unfortunately, he failed.”
