Peiya was a bit shy, but she still handed her personal diary to Lin Qianxuan.
Lin Qianxuan opened to the first page.
It happened to correspond to that encounter.
Her life was by no means so shallow.
It's just that she hoped everything would start from that moment.
So, everything started from that moment.
In the diary, there was no more bitterness and deep-seated enmity.
At most, it contained the fleeting worries of a young girl.
But this could not be considered darkness in any way.
Moreover, the further you read, the more positive the girl's emotions became.
She began to look forward to each new day, each new change.
She made new friends and started thinking about how to make even tastier food.
....
With a reach of his hand, Lin Qianxuan took out another diary.
From the outside, the two were identical.
But the content of this one was filled with dark stories.
Opening the diary, the environment around Peiya and Lin Qianxuan changed.
The location shifted to the Kingdom of the Box back then.
She was rejected by countless people and could only find a piece of land by the junkyard where others had discarded, to build her home. Even with extraordinary abilities, she could not gain recognition, and the prey she obtained through adventures was bought back at a low price, just barely making ends meet, but she was still full of gratitude, hoping to be accepted one day...
"Teacher, is that... me?" Peiya asked.
"It's you, but it's also not you," Lin Qianxuan replied.
In the scene, Peiya was in the Land of the Abyss Ruins, chased by a giant wolf, and fell in a hurried escape. The wolf's claw ripped her cheek, blinding her right eye, then it bit down on her left leg with a powerful grip, tearing it off with a ripping sound.
In the peril of blood and pain, she remembered to use her abilities, and with a short sword, she fiercely killed the giant wolf.
After treating her wound, she struggled back to the Kingdom of the Box.
Still, there was no help, and her Abyssal Pearl was even sold at a lower price, unable to purchase medicine.
She could only miserably grasp whatever food could barely fill her stomach, waiting in her small room for death.
However, Destiny did not want to end her life just like that, still hoping she would endure more hardship.
So she survived.
She scavenged some supplies from the garbage, cleaned them up, and got a sliver of hope.
She lived like a rat, and others looked at her as if she were a rat.
But even so, she didn't complain, just hoped for a better tomorrow.
No, she was not without complaints; they were just hidden in a darker place.
The catastrophe arrived.
The entire Kingdom of the Box was destroyed by a giant mystical beast.
Her wish was fulfilled.
She no longer lived like a rat.
Only the cost of fulfilling that wish was the disappearance of the entire Kingdom of the Box.
The survivors became more fearful of mystical creatures, avoiding her, or even showing disdain and physically abusing her.
They couldn't resist the mystical beast that destroyed the Kingdom of the Box.
But they could express their anger towards the harmless mystical creature in front of them.
And that brought them a more miserable future.
If you provide light and warmth, she will return light and warmth.
When you offer darkness, even if she wants to return light, it becomes very difficult.
The base for the survivors of the Kingdom of the Box was also destroyed in the oncoming beast tide.
The one-eyed, one-legged girl, dressed like a pirate, trudged through the wasteland of the Abyss Ruins, scavenging for food.
She wandered for a long, long time....
Until she accidentally stepped into the Tower of Truth.
Here, she found a rare sense of belonging.
She also met a friend named Xiaoke.
But every place has its ambitious people.
After her abilities were exposed, someone exploited her.
Furthermore, it was from the weakest part of her heart.
Peiya thought of that person as a caring sister, not knowing that the person was intent on skinning and dissecting her, even down to the cellular level.
But she did indeed guide Peiya to further develop her abilities.
Until that person overestimated herself, attempting to write her wish in Peiya's diary.
This wish was so grand that even the Tower of Truth couldn't bear it, causing an unprecedented disaster.
The Tower of Truth was destroyed as an organization.
Peiya and Xiaoke went to the Dream Stele.
Xiaoke entered the dream world, and her physical form disappeared in reality, leaving Peiya alone once more.
.....
Repeated separations, each anticipation ending in disappointment.
Repeated catastrophes.
She grew, enduring a plethora of hardships.
Until the end of space-time, the cycle restarted, she threw away that diary, preventing it from entering a new cycle, where it was retrieved by a fisherman.
.....
"Would I have ended up like that if I hadn't met you, teacher?"
Peiya's eyes were filled with complex emotions, she hadn't thought she would become so miserable, nor imagined that kind of future.
"But you met me." Lin Qianxuan approached Peiya, gently touched her head, and opened another diary she had written, saying: "Come on, write a better future."
Peiya looked at the blank page above, not knowing what to write.
Lin Qianxuan silently waited for her to make a decision.
"Teacher, will something bad happen?" Peiya asked.
In the dark parallel lines seen before, each future wished for in the diary involved an extremely dark process.
"No, this time I'm here!" Lin Qianxuan comforted.
Peiya no longer hesitated, a pen manifested.
She began to write a new future.
No longer dark, but easy and bright.
The people of the Box Kingdom no longer have the survival troubles from the outside world, living in a utopia-like world. They are kind and enthusiastic. Even if Demi-humans truly arrive in the Box Kingdom, they are welcomed and warmly received, even gaining citizenship, becoming one of the races there.
The Dream World of the Dream Stele has become one real world after another, and everyone now has the future they want.
In the Tower of Truth, countless scholars have achieved something. Ashley's lover is revived, beginning to enjoy the rest of his life, focusing on technology to improve life, no longer touching dangerous artifacts.
No, the artifacts have disappeared.
All the artifacts in this world, in this Land of the Abyss Ruins, are disappearing along with it.
All the changes brought by artifacts are disappearing too.
At last, Peiya couldn't help but write half a sentence for herself.
[Peiya and the teacher....]
She was stumped.
Because she was unsure of Lin Qianxuan's thoughts and didn't know if it was good or bad to do this.
However, Lin Qianxuan was not stumped, he reached out and similarly manifested a pen.
"Peiya and the teacher lived happily ever after!"
Lin Qianxuan completed the ending of the original fairy tale.
But it was not the princess and the hero.
It was the evil dragon and the hero.
"Thank you, Destiny, for arranging our meeting. Please take care of us from now on." Lin Qianxuan smiled, holding Peiya's hand.
"Mm~!"
This nearly straightforward confession made Peiya nod, her face turned red with shyness.
The bright diary burst into light, everything in the Abyss Ruins changed, playing out according to the future described in the diary.
The dark diary in Lin Qianxuan's hand was dissipating.
At the same time, the Misty Qi surrounding Peiya connected with Lin Qianxuan.
The third Sound Talisman was constructed.
......
In the Chaotic Void.
Two Enlightened were in battle.
Their fight was indescribable, beyond description, and beyond comprehension.
It was not a contest of scales, not a piling up of matter, but a battle of concepts, a battle of Dao.
This battle persisted for ages, with no way to tell how much time had passed.
The Dao Fruit cannot be destroyed.
Even if an Enlightened does not actively give up the Dao Fruit, the Enlightened bearing the Dao Fruit will not die.
Stronger Enlightened can only suppress and bind weaker Enlightened.
Of course, there is another way.
That is to erode intelligence, allowing the Enlightened to voluntarily give up their Dao Fruit.
In endless cycles of time, emotions and one's personality are eroded, doing an alternative form of killing an Enlightened.
In doing so, they would seek liberation, and the Dao Fruit would detach.
And so, a time loop is constructed.
She fell into the cycle, suffering again and again, but she also tried to escape, and the diary she wrote was the means she prepared.
But later she found that merely relying on her own strength could not lead to escape; she could only seize an opportunity to cast the diary out of the cyclic space-time, hoping for a variable to arise.
Luckily, that variable came.
The eroded intelligence recovered upon his arrival.
...
[Prompt: You have obtained a Sound Talisman [Cycle].]
[Cycle: Having experienced countless cycles of space-time, you have accumulated more awareness. (You will be immune to the effects of artifacts.)]
[Prompt: All Sound Talismans have been collected, the score [Variable of Escaping Time-Space] is written, and can be played through the String of Destiny.]
Lin Qianxuan didn't hesitate, plucked the String of Destiny, turning the Sound Talisman into the Sound of Destiny.
The Sound Talisman echoed, as if a pebble had been thrown in a long, calm space-time, rippling with waves and growing increasingly intense until the waves turned into sea waves, overturning heaven and earth, this small variable changed everything.
The power of destiny further strengthened the Dao Fruit he mastered.
[Variable of Escaping Time-Space: The strength of the entry you bestowed is increased tenfold. (Note: In the endless space-time, new variables will always arise.)]
Just like before, a simple tenfold increase in strength.
But this time, for Lin Qianxuan, there was no qualitative change.
He is already the Infinite.
This quantitative change means little to him.
In comparison, his increased mastery over the Dao Fruit of the Artifact is the key.
This mastery allows him to use the Dao Fruit of the Artifact as a key, to open a Gate of Immeasurable once more.
Having already experienced pushing open the Gate of Immeasurable, Lin Qianxuan was familiar with the process.
He reached out as if he were really pushing open a door; suddenly, a new entrance to the Immeasurable was opened.
A single Gate of Immeasurable cannot compare to Peiya and another who constructed the time-space cycle of the Infinite.
But now Lin Qianxuan has seven gates.
Altogether, this gate is almost enough to let him cross to the other side, truly becoming an existence of Dao, transcending the Chaotic Space-Time.
It can be said there is only a fine line left to cross!
