After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 555 - 220 You’ve Struggled Until Now_2

"I want to create a world line where time branches," Xi Mu said, "even if the Time Witch interferes with the past, the people of the original world line will not be affected. They will continue to exist according to their own rightful life trajectories, whereas the changed future will exist in another timeline, with the two timelines not interfering with each other."

After listening, Eden gently shook her head, "As long as there are time branches, the subsequent branching will only continue to expand until the world model you created collapses. This world does have a... limit."

Although Ahtal’s description sounded very appealing, where those wanting to change the past would have a brand new future and the people of the original timeline would not be affected, as soon as people began time traveling, the number of people traveling through time would also increase along with the number of timelines, soon causing a world collapse.

This worldview is even more prone to collapse than the one designed by the God of Omniscience.

"It sounds quite distressing." Xi Mu pinched the soul of the Splitting Demon, not particularly concerned with Eden’s dismissal. He had also noticed a glaring hole in his own theory; this closed world system had a clearly visible limit and could not expand indefinitely. It would collapse upon reaching a certain extent.

And this was the flaw in his worldview design.

"Unless it is possible to create something from nothing and support the indefinite emergence of infinite timelines, the time branches will inevitably collapse once they reach a certain extent," Eden gently shook her head, advising Ahtal, "Our world itself does not support infinite time branching."

This world itself is an extremely closed system; any attempt by anyone to create a brand new order will collapse and then return to its original form, re-evolving and changing the world, endlessly repeating the cycle.

Unless a way is found to inject extra power into the closed world.

"But are there not Ragnoraks in all the branched timelines?" Xi Mu, holding the soul of the Splitting Demon, asked Eden, "What would happen if we designed a corresponding Ragnarok for each branched timeline, as the time branches keep increasing in strength?"

He explained thus.

"By distributing the power of Ragnarok across different timelines, that can actually suppress the increase in time branching."

Eden fell into thought.

Assuming Ahtal’s idea was to disperse the power of Ragnarok among different timelines, allowing each timeline to equally face Ragnarok, it indeed could suppress time branching and allow used-up worlds to act as nourishment for the birth of brand-new worlds, and if during this process the civilization-destroying worlds were burned away, it could provide support for the new worlds.

The essential design of this world model is to incorporate the power of Ragnarok into the cyclical process of the world.

"And with so many time branches, a Savior might emerge possessing the power to create from nothing," Xi Mu said with a light chuckle, "Just one such Savior appearing would turn all problems around."

In the endless branching of timelines, that means endlessly facing Ragnarok, and if in one of these timelines, someone is born with the power to ’create from nothing,’ that could resolve the crisis of Ragnarok.

"The power to create from nothing... perhaps, it is beyond the limits of our world," Eden softly explained, "The birth of such a power is related to one’s own aptitude, even if one deeply desires to create from nothing, but limited by aptitude, it cannot truly emerge."

Her gaze fell on Ahtal.

"If it were possible to truly create from nothing, perhaps that could reach the state of being All-Powerful."

In this world, many were exceptionally brilliant; however, the most talented Witch of Death, Creation Witch, and Ahtal could not achieve creation from nothing, which in some way indicates that creation from nothing is nearly impossible.

And facing something non-existent, even using unlimited time branching to refresh, is also an impossible feat.

"If only my power had been the perpetual motion machine from the start," Xi Mu remarked as if in distress, while Eden shook her head and explained to him:

"Regardless of the power, in the end, all development is to fulfill one’s own desires and will also touch the boundary of creating from nothing. Don’t be constrained by the form of the power."

Any ability born in this world, fundamentally, is a form of desire, from the awakening of abilities to becoming a Demon, it is all a process of realizing desires, and ultimately seizing control of the world is the complete fulfillment of one’s own wishes, creating the world one hopes for.

But this does not mean that desires will thus be satisfied, because creating the world itself is still limited by the systemic constraints of the world itself.

Therefore, creating from nothing must be used to satisfy one’s desires.

This is a step-by-step process. No matter what kind of ability Ahtal possesses, whatever form the displayed abilities take,

in the end, it all leads to the stage of creating from nothing.

"If we want to reach that stage, we at least need to perform the third ceremony," Xi Mu said offhandedly, then revealed their current objective:

"Eden, I plan to test run the world model first, using the power of the King of Ash and the Tree of Omniscience to initiate the process."

"Hmm." Eden did not refuse. If he wanted to verify whether Ahtal’s designed world model was reliable, it was indeed better to test it first. Otherwise, if the creation were actually carried out, he would have to keep modifying mistakes like the God of Omniscience.

"In a while, the Delusional Demon will immerse most people in the world in delusions. Let’s use them for the test," Xi Mu revealed the plan, "With our combined powers, we should be able to conduct the test run."

As an incarnation of the Tree of Omniscience, Eden not only spanned all locations in the world but also knew all information, enabling him to artificially create a false world to meet the baseline for a test run; thereafter, as long as he cooperated with Eden in the experiment, discussing a relatively reliable world model with him was possible.

Otherwise, letting him figure it out alone was indeed too time-consuming.

"Wait... you are discussing creating an entirely new world," the Splitting Demon said with a hint of disappointment, "Is it really necessary to catch me and turn me into a weapon now?"

The two of them talked about extremely impressive content, from the model of the new world to the end of desires, and then on to using infinite time forks to create a Savior.

So impressive was their level, yet they still caught him and wanted to turn him into... a knife.

It wasn’t that they were sick, it was just intensely so.

So impressive, could they not just ignore him.

"Your splitting ability concerns my research on time forks; you still hold some research value," Xi Mu casually explained, then handed the soul of the Splitting Demon over to Eden.

"Actually, the Avatar Witch has even more research potential," Eden said as he held the soul of the Splitting Demon, activating her power.

Simultaneously.

Around the world, in the hands of different people, the soul of the Splitting Demon, suddenly influenced by a higher-level power, vanished on the spot.

...

...

Sky City.

Within a sealed barrier.

The soul of the Splitting Demon that was imprisoned suddenly disappeared, causing the guards at the door to look at each other in confusion, all very baffled, not understanding how the soul of the Splitting Demon could disappear within such a tightly sealed barrier.

But they quickly reacted and hurried to inform the King that someone had stolen the soul required for the Divine Artifact.

Meanwhile, in the underworld.

The lower level. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Inside a forge.

By the edge of a blazing furnace.

"This is the blade embryo of the Divine Artifact Splitting Long Sword." The dwarf master lifted the splitting long sword in his hand, then looked towards the thorn iron cage imprisoning the soul not far away.

"Next, just as I was about to infuse the soul of the Splitting Demon..." His words were cut short, his expression freezing instantly as the Splitting Demon’s soul locked in the thorn iron cage had already vanished.

No... the blade embryo in his hand had also disappeared.

The dwarf master suddenly turned his head, staring dumbfounded at his palm, where a precious meteorite appeared in his hand, but the blade embryo he had just crafted had disappeared.

Next, how would he explain this to the Church of Destiny.

The blade embryo... ran off on its own?
