I Became an Anonymous Boss

"Are you cheating and skipping work?" Shirataki asked strangely.

"Even if this is done, it will only delay time, and sooner or later the same situation will occur."

"So you don't care?"

"This is just a trivial reason." The god said softly: "There is another reason."

"what?"

"Do you know cause and effect?" the deity said quietly: "If there is something, there must be an effect."

"Your retribution is me?" Bai Taki answered casually.

"...Yes, my retribution is you." The god agreed: "Cause and effect run through time... Sometimes, cause and effect can be reversed, and sometimes it may be that the effect comes first and the cause comes later... It's kind of a cycle."

Shirataki said, "I don't understand."

"For example, you lost a dollar, in order to find out who took your dollar, you invented a space-time machine, you went back in time, and saw a dollar on the table, so you put the dollar Take it."

"So it was me who stole the money?"

"Not only that, the reason why you travel through time and space is that you lost money, but if you don't take this dollar yourself, you won't invent the time and space machine." The god said: "This is the cause and effect. Confusion, there is no who is first and who is later... because the timeline has been completed, because the cause and effect have been constructed, and everything you know today is based on this cause and effect."

"Ouroboros?" Shirataki thought of this symbol.

"Well, just like Ouroboros, in other words, it is a knot in time, the past leads to the future, and the future leads to the past." The god said softly: "This is you."

"Me?" Shirataki was startled.

"You are the knot." The god said, "Because you killed Izanami, because you saved Sunlun City, and because you liberated this land, the current situation and the current scene are possible. scene."

"And why did you choose to kill Izanami? Because you want to change the present. You think that if you killed the gods of the past, the gods of the past will also disappear together. The two gods are the same."

"But you did it, and reality hasn't changed a bit."

"This is because...you have rewritten history, and the world you live in is the world you have rewritten! You wanted to rewrite the present, so you went back to the past; and because you went back to the past and rewrote the past, history should have The trajectory of development has deviated, and it has taken thousands of years to become what it is now."

Shirataki's pupils contracted violently, and he blurted out: "This is not..."

"Nothing is impossible. I exist here to prove it." The God of Huangquan said patiently and calmly: "If you don't go to a thousand years ago, Sunlun City should have been destroyed. And how long can the remaining world last? Destruction is its due destiny, and you rewrote history, so the reality can be maintained until now."

Shirataki was silent, he was a little confused, and it took him a while to sort out his thoughts.

…Going back to the past in order to kill the gods, resulting in the killing of the gods, leading to the situation thousands of years later;

...In order to change the situation after a thousand years, I thought of killing the gods and going back to the past.

This leads to a loop, and it goes on infinitely.

Shirataki frowned, his mentality changed, and he said slowly: "If what you said is true, no... what you said should be true, and only in this way can explain why history has not changed, but ..."

He felt that some things didn't make sense, since Jiemen's ability was still there, he could go directly back to the past Sunlun City now.

Now that he already knows this, it may not be impossible to rewrite history.

And this logic of thinking was also seen through by the gods.

"But—you already know this, and you can still go back in time, so you have the ability to rewrite history..." The god said calmly: "Do you think so? Then you are still on the first floor."

"...What do you mean?" Shirataki lost his patience: "Stop talking about riddles!"

"To put it simply, all of this is causally related." The god said: "If the secluded world does not invade the ordinary world, ghosts and gods are not seen by Rei Hanyu, and she does not experience such a life, how can she escape? Huzhou?"

"If she didn't go to Shanghai, how could she meet you?"

"If you lacked Rei Hanyu's guidance, how could you have come to Shanghai?"

"If you don't come to Shanghai, who will save the past Rilun City, and who will kill Izanami?"

"Your arrival is destined, and you must also come to Yingzhou."

"But what you need to save is not only the secluded world of this era, but also the world thousands of years ago."

"That is a feat that no one else can do but you, and it must be done by you."

"It's not difficult for you to change history, but your purpose should not be to change it, but...to maintain it."

"This is the cause and effect."

"The beginning is not the beginning, but a node in the story; the end is not the end, but just the beginning."

Everything is clear, everything is clear.

It turns out that this is the truth, it is the result of meditation calculations, and it is a reincarnation that has already been completed.

Shirataki's role is to tie a knot here, and without his knowledge, he has already fallen into the trap of time and space.

"I have another question..." Shirataki asked in a low voice, "Who is the person who set up this trap?"

The god hesitated: "Yes..."

"It's me." Bai Taki asked and answered himself, he already had the answer in his heart, because only he himself knows him best, and knows the time and space travel of the gate of the world, as long as he doesn't say anything, no one is aware of the demons around the millennium It's the same person at all!

So the designer of the trap must be himself, and the others are just the executors. It is the future Shirataki who wants to maintain a knot on the timeline.

What he felt was not anger, but a little weak and a wry smile. After all, he was calculating himself, and he couldn't resist at all.

Shirataki looked at the god, he opened his mouth, fell silent again, and turned into a wry smile: "Should I congratulate myself for my success?"

The god of Huangquan smiled softly: "Actually, whether it is cause and effect, or time travel, I don't really care about these. These are not my purpose, but some insignificant by-products. But your request, I have always I can't refuse, I can only act like this..."

"By-product?" Shirataki looked at the god, "Then what do you want?"

"What I want has been realized now." He said so, his voice became clear from ethereal, and it was as gentle as water.

Following the sound, Rei Hanyu was lying among the flowers on the other side, and the red light danced around her like a red butterfly.

When the woman opened her eyes again, the shimmer of rotten grass covered the sea of ​​flowers, and red butterflies landed on her fingertips.

The maiden in white and red dress looked at her with a smile, her eyes were filled with tenderness that transcended a thousand years, and the smile was like meeting her for the first time in life.

"Finally seeing you again... Shirataki..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the sea of ​​flowers on the other side, the witch is in the middle of the sea of ​​bright red flowers, smiling quietly.

Reunion with a smile is like meeting for the first time in life.

Fluffy flowers gradually desire charming eyes.

Shirataki couldn't help but wonder, is the witch at this time a witch or Rei Hanyu?

"you……"

He wanted to ask, but for a while he didn't know how to ask many questions, and felt that he could know the answers to many questions without asking.

The witch is in a white dress and red dress, her long hair is swaying in the wind, her figure is elegant, she takes a shallow step forward, and walks barefoot.

"I'm the shrine maiden."

"I am the god of Huangquan."

"I am...Himiko."

She whispered: "It's the empress of Sunlun Kingdom, the empress of Yamatai, and Amaterasu Omisami..."

The witch introduced herself. She told her little-known real name and her place in history.

Shirataki's pupils shrank for a while: "Amaterasu...you said you are Amaterasu?"

The witch nodded: "I am Amaterasu, I am the last of the three noble sons, and I am also the original person born from the body of Izanaki, Suzhan Mingzun is my younger brother, and Tsukuyomi is my younger sister. "

She smiled and said, "It's not that hard to accept. In fact, there were signs early in the morning... If it was an ordinary witch, how could it be possible to live for three hundred years? This long life has already hinted at the true identity of the witch."

"In addition to this, there are many facts that indicate the identity of the witch from generation to generation."

"It takes more than ten years after the death of each generation of witches to find new witches."

"Because each generation of witches is the same soul that is constantly reincarnated."

"The so-called sacrificial ceremony is not an offering to Amaterasu, but a necessary process to keep the sun's spiritual power running."

"If the ceremony fails, it means that the spiritual power is insufficient. At this time, the contemporary witch must be reincarnated once. The release of the sun's spiritual power in this way is like adding firewood every [-] years to keep the fire burning."

"The witches are constantly dying, and the soul belonging to Amaterasu is also constantly reincarnating. She uses this method to keep lingering, and tries her best to guard Sunlun Castle, also to counter Izanami."

Himiko let out a long sigh.

"I had a conversation with Izanami back then at the bottom of Naraku, and she told me everything, but she didn't have time to say the last word."

"This last sentence is to declare my identity... But even if she didn't tell me, I can guess it."

"The gods have already been slaughtered by Izanami. Among the three noble sons, Yueyue escaped, Suzhan Mingzun died in battle, and the only one left is Amaterasu."

"What she wants to destroy is actually not the city of the sun, but Amaterasu. She wants Amaterasu's soul."

"So when I went to Huangquan, she was so overjoyed."

The witch said softly, the fact that she knew thousands of years ago can't make her emotions fluctuate now, she has already accepted it and looked down on it.

However, for Shirataki, this fact still shocked him.

It's not that the priestess, it's not that Himiko became a god, but she was a god from the beginning.

It used to be Amaterasu, but now it has become the god of the underworld.

Shirataki suddenly recalled what Izanami said before his death.

"... Even if I die, Huang Quan is still there, and the gods are still there, and everything will not end... What will happen to you until then?"

Izanami said, not like last words, but advice, she seemed to have seen through fate, and also saw through Shirataki, and in the end, what she showed was not hysterical, but what she showed was calm.

——The underworld is still there, and so are the gods.

——So all this will not end, it is still in reincarnation.

Shirataki took a deep breath, his scalp went numb for a while.

"But Amaterasu is Amaterasu." Shirataki asked in a low voice, "Why did you become the god of Huang Quan, and why did you have Rei Hanyu?"

"Yellow Spring needs managers, and after Izanami is lost, this world no longer needs gods to pray for mankind." Himiko said: "So I came to Yellow Spring, far away from the world, and here I live quietly. Planting flowers..."

Shirataki frowned, he believed these words, but he only believed half of them.

Managing Huang Quan is a lonely and lonely process, and she has no reason to sacrifice herself like this.
