NOVEL WEB Chapter 755: So Enduring?
"Mr. Wukong, let's not talk about this for now. Can you see what's happening to Trijia?"
After Tartaros fled, Carlmila's trio retreated directly. Mr. Da Gu wanted to awaken Trijia with light, but found that his body repelled the power of light.
Upon closer inspection, he could not see Shinichi Seijuurou... the light had disappeared!
So where did Shinichi Seijuurou go?
Sun Wukong opened his golden eyes, furrowing his eyebrows slightly, and said: "This dimension has major issues."
"What?"
Mr. Da Gu was slightly stunned, "Do you mean to say that this dimension is going to collapse?"
It's a bit hard to understand.
Time and space encompass the entire universe!
Could the issue with Trijia cause the entire universe to be destroyed?
Although the power of Ultraman is strong, it shouldn't cause problems for the entire dimension, right?
Sun Wukong said: "The birth of this dimension wasn't due to someone traversing the timeline, causing a split in dimensions and giving birth to another dimension. It was created."
"Created!" Mr. Da Gu was shocked, "What kind of person has that kind of ability? To be able to create an entire universe?"
"It wasn't created by any existence, but evolved from the admiration for Tiga." Sun Wukong seemed to see everything, "Therefore, here lies one of the strangest energies in the entire universe, the Eternal Core, existing across the entire timeline, whether it's the past or the future."
As for the Eternal Core, Mr. Da Gu was unconcerned and merely asked, "Who is admiring Tiga?"
"Do you remember what Ketsuna told you?" Sun Wukong didn't answer directly but asked Mr. Da Gu this question.
"I remember... I understand." Mr. Da Gu comprehended it immediately—
Originally, Ketsuna was a member of the Victory Team from another dimension where Tiga existed. Due to an accident, he crossed dimensions to arrive in this one and because he once became light, fighting alongside Tiga, he admired Tiga.
Perhaps at the moment he arrived in this world, his admiration, or perhaps the light of Tiga from another dimension remaining in his heart, resonated with the Eternal Core existing in the past and future, thus everything seemingly unrelated was evolved, and Trijia was born.
Trijia, born from admiration for Tiga, replicated Tiga's deeds, was born in the past three million years ago, sealed the trio of darkness, and then awakened three million years later.
As for why development is different from the dimension he was in, it's likely because this universe has too many foreign elements... For example, Nasdis No., Mr. Da Gu felt it very much resembled the Space Dragon Nas from Tsuburaya Productions' "Ultra Seven".
"Existing in the past and future, does that mean Seijuurou returned to the past?" Mr. Da Gu thought of a possibility.
"Exactly, he returned to the past." Sun Wukong replied, "Logically, this kind of time travel would lead to the 'chicken or egg' paradox, but everything here is created by the Eternal Core. Therefore, before this dimension stabilizes, past and future can be freely altered."
"Then how to stabilize the dimension?" Although everything here is created by the Eternal Core, since it's already born and life has appeared, it shouldn't be destroyed."
"Very simple, Trijia needs to stabilize his own existence."
Sun Wukong looked at Trijia, whose body was entwined with dark energy, "This dimension was born because of him, but it won't exist because of him. As long as Shinichi Seijuurou doesn't tamper with the past to achieve a loop, it can stabilize the dimension and make it no longer exist due to Trijia, becoming like the dimension you are in. Even if someone travels to the past and alters the timeline, it'll only evolve a new dimension without affecting your past."
"From the current perspective, although Shinichi Seijuurou is a bit naive, he should have achieved a loop, and when he returns, he'll have to confront the darkness he once had."
Trijia's body had already lost its light, but the energy on him was incessantly increasing, and it carried a dark breath, mildly corroding the surrounding air.
Without the suppression of light, the inherent power within the body had already emerged.
Mr. Da Gu frowned: "Strange, why does the dark power awaken when Seijuurou is gone? The situation with Tiga wasn't like this. I was once made to lose my sanity by a demon from an alternate dimension, but the dark power still didn't revive."
"Because you abandoned darkness three million years ago, otherwise, why would your Dark God Light Rod be handed to you by Camilla?" Sun Wukong chuckled playfully.
Mr. Da Gu wincing, scratching his head, said, "I can't say it was me, really, I'm not that familiar with Camilla."
"Sure, sure, not familiar, then when Belial and the others first descended, you transformed into Tiga and danced with her." Sun Wukong said with apparent seriousness.
Mr. Da Gu was helpless.
At that time, it was his body's instinctive movements. He himself didn't want to... well, to say he didn't feel a bit moved would be hypocritical.
At this moment, Trijia's body stood upright, covered in dark armor, with two curved protrusions on his back like unfolded demon wings.
"The dark power has revived." Mr. Da Gu frowned, "But without a will to control it, it might go berserk and destroy everything in sight."
"It's your turn, I'm not interested in fighting enemies less than extraordinary." Sun Wukong nudged Mr. Da Gu.
"Hmm."
Da Gu took out the Spark Lens and transformed into Tiga, gaining control over Dark Tiga.
At this moment, Sheng Zhangren arrived with Jieming, anxiously asking, "Mr. Wukong, do you know what happened to Sword Wu?"
After seeing Sun Wukong's true form, Sheng Zhangren held him in high regard, considering him to be the Buddha from myth and legend.
"He went back to thirty million years ago to complete the time loop, stabilizing the spacetime because in this dimension, it is the existence of Trijia thirty million years later that makes the Trijia of thirty million years ago possible." Sun Wukong spoke words akin to a tongue-twister, leaving Jieming baffled, and even Zhangren somewhat puzzled.
However, compared to Jieming, who was completely at a loss, he somewhat understood.
This is a causal relationship in time and space.
Yet the sequence of causality is fixed: cause precedes effect. But in Sun Wukong's description, Trijia's existence starts with "effect," followed by "cause," where the "effect" Sword Wu now travels to thirty million years ago to plant the "cause."
It's akin to a fruit tree not initially existing before the fruit grows but rather starting with the fruit, then branches and leaves growing around the fruit, a trunk forming, and roots finally grounding into the soil.
A reverse causality?
This should be an impossible occurrence.
"Why is this happening?" Understanding Sun Wukong's meaning, Sheng Zhangren couldn't fathom the process.
"The Eternity Core, which Carlmila and the others desire, holds the energy to shape the entire universe. However, it's unstable, and anyone who comes into contact with it can gain the power to fulfill their heart's wishes." Sun Wukong hinted, "Whether it's light or darkness, both can hold it."
After pondering for a moment, Sheng Zhangren stated, "So, someone made a wish to the Eternity Core, resulting in Trijia's emergence?"
"More severely, it resulted in the appearance of your entire dimension."
Sun Wukong spoke deeply, "Indeed, you should thank the person who unintentionally made the wish; otherwise, you wouldn't even exist."
Shizuka Ketsuna asked, "Who is that person?"
Sun Wukong countered, "Besides Da Gu and me, who among the people you know was not born in this dimension?"
"Chairman Ketsuna!"
Sheng Zhangren was shocked to the core, "Did he make the wish? Or rather, after coming to this dimension, his hope for Tiga in his heart created our dimension, created us."
Shizuka Ketsuna covered her mouth, dumbfounded upon learning this truth.
"So, are we just fictional characters created by my father?" UploadedbytheM|V|L(EMPYR)team.
"No, you possess real and genuine souls; you are true living beings." Sun Wukong shook his head, "It's just that the energy of the Eternity Core is too powerful and created everything in this universe."
Sheng Zhangren took a deep breath and asked, "How can Sword Wu be saved?"
"There's no need to save him."
Sun Wukong said, "He went back to the past, back to thirty million years ago, acting for the emergence of today's Trijia, stabilizing the spacetime."
Sheng Zhangren looked perplexedly at the Dark Tiga restrained by Tiga, saying, "Time and space shouldn't behave like this."
"Indeed, it shouldn't; it makes your side of spacetime seem like a child's random drawing."
Sun Wukong sighed, "But the problem is, the dimension you inhabit was created, much like a freshly filmed movie yet to be officially released, with many parts editable, adjustable, and with modifiable plots."
Sheng Zhangren was silent for a while, then spoke, "So, the core of the matter lies in Tiga, or rather, Sword Wu?"
"As long as he can return from the past to the present, the spacetime will stabilize. The only flaw in your dimension might be the Eternity Core." Sun Wukong smiled as he spoke, "But you are quite lucky, for I will take the Eternity Core away. After all, this artifact is the origin of creation and still holds value—I could use it as a chandelier for Zhutian City that I am planning."
Sheng Zhangren and Shizuka Ketsuna were speechless.
While it's true the Eternity Core is a time bomb in their dimension, having it used as a chandelier seemed somewhat disrespectful.
"Then, we must trouble you, Mr. Wukong," Sheng Zhangren requested, "Humanity should never wield such power as the Eternity Core."
"By the way, hasn't Mr. Da Gu and Dark Tiga been at a standoff for more than three minutes?" Shizuka Ketsuna was puzzled, "The duration of Tiga's transformation is only about three minutes, isn't it?"
Sun Wukong replied, "Da Gu has acknowledged himself as Tiga, combined with his considerable stamina, allowing each transformation battle to persist for nearly twenty minutes. If he isn't engaged in combat, he can probably maintain that form indefinitely."
Ketsuna slightly opened her mouth, "That long-lasting?"
