Chapter 470 Recovering the Fourth History
After Annan digested the true power of [Book of Skycart] and roughly understood how to use these abilities...
The previously regenerated Fourth History Theory, which exuded fantastic light, finally showed its true form in front of Annan.
—This represents the complete demise of Philip.
A scene of tragedy about tragedy has come to an end, and 【Fourth Theory of History】reappears in the world.
Although the name is "Fourth History", it is not a book.
It's a...pure white stone slab with a somewhat fantastic shape?
It looks like a very, very thin slate. For Annan, the stone slab was relatively large, but for an adult's hand, it could be held with one hand, and it was slightly larger than the palm of a hand.
It's a complex shape—if you want to describe it, it's like a solid white opaque tablet with strange ornaments around the edges. Similar to the book in the hands of the scholar in the baboon, the edge is decorated with a rather delicate and unclear pale gold.
It can be said to be a very finely polished ancient slate, and it can also be said to be the portable operation center of the spaceship.
But if you look closely, it is full of high-tech feeling. Because of that shape, it even looks a bit like a circuit board, and the color of it...
"...It looks like it was produced by the Orokin Empire."
Annan couldn't help complaining.
This pure white stone slab has thin golden ornaments on the edges. It does look like an Orokin-style... notebook?
What's more outrageous is that there is something like a pen on the right side of it.
It was a light blue hexagonal crystal slightly longer than an adult's finger.
When not in use, this pen is embedded on the right side of the note. There is a light golden decoration, which just forms a device similar to a "pen holder", which can be easily embedded.
And on the upper end of the crystal, there is a flower-like golden decoration wrapped around it. Going up from the bud-like golden decoration, there is a branch-like golden pipe connected to the golden decorations wrapped around the edge of the Fourth History.
...Is it a special pen?
It's reasonable, after all, this slate doesn't look like it can be written with an ordinary pen...
That can be said to be an extremely gorgeous decoration.
Annan could even see that even the "golden flower bud" connected to the end of the pen had at least seven layers of relief. And all the "golden decorations" are densely carved or patterned - that's the part that can't be seen at a cursory glance, and you can even feel that the style is simple and luxurious.
Only if you look closely like Annan, you will see its real decorations.
This kind of lazy egg hurts style...
Could it be produced by Yaweng?
"From this point of view, it's a bit like a signature pen at a bank counter. It even has an anti-lost function..."
Annan complained casually, and took off the crystal pen out of curiosity.
At that moment——it was as if something was activated, and it seemed to be turned on suddenly.
The light blue "Crystal Pen" suddenly emits a glimmer of light, like a fluorescent stick for calling.
And the stone slab wrapped with golden decorations also shone with a pure white gleam, as if the tablet in the off-screen state had suddenly turned on.
There is also a light blue light flowing among the golden decorations of unknown meaning around it. Layers of panels bloomed in the blink of an eye—many transparent book pages suspended in the air flashed past Annan.
In Annan's eyes, something of the same style also flashed.
Whether it is fonts or UI effects, they are all the same——
It is his system.
【Fourth History】
[Type: Supreme Proof (Orange)]
[Description: There are three layers of history, forward history, upward history, and deeper history, but there may also be a fourth layer of history that should not exist. The words written in this book will become the fourth layer of history that does not exist]
[Effect: The user can use the "Stone Wedge" to write down a reasonable future, and must specify the specific time when the future will come true. The user himself must be able to imagine how this future will be realized. If this future is possible to be realized; then the contract is fulfilled, and the Fourth Theory of History will disappear until the day when history reappears, it will reappear. The history recorded in this way on the fourth history must be realized, and this effect cannot be modified or overwritten by any effect]
[Cost: The user will suffer from the curse of "a quarter of existence"; the user will suffer from the curse of "witness of false history"; the user will suffer from the curse of "the wearer of the fourth layer of history"]
[A quarter of beings: Immediately lose a quarter of their memory, wisdom, soul and desire; this curse can be obtained multiple times, up to four times. 】
[Witness to false history: before the written fourth history becomes reality, using any extraordinary power will result in being banished to the cracks of time]
[The wearer of the fourth layer of history: the new user of the fourth theory of history must be younger than you]
【When the same person obtains "Curse: A Quarter of Existence" for the fourth time, when this curse is obtained again, a new curse will be obtained: Narrator of the Secret History】
[The narrator of the secret history: When using the fourth theory of history, no other price will be paid, and no new curse will be obtained; but he will be exiled together with the fourth theory of history to the "day of future realization". Before the narrator of the secret history dies, other people can no longer use the fourth theory of history]
Annan's expression suddenly became complicated.
If he remembers correctly... Philip should have used the Fourth Theory of History for the fourth or fifth time.
He can use it once at most, and he can no longer pay the price.
In other words, he will "grow up" with the fourth theory of history.
He will be the incarnation of the fourth theory of history, or it can be said that the concept of the fourth theory of history has acquired the identity of a human being... After that, he can use the fourth theory of history as he likes and anchor the future .
Annan suddenly looked at the tragic writer.
Although full of regret, Annan's heart was full of relief.
—Because the tragedian's idea is wrong.
He made a mistake in judging Philip...Philip was not what he thought, because his desire was too lofty and his ability was too low in comparison, so that he spent his life doing nothing.
In his long and incomparably long life, he only accomplished one thing.
That is [seeing the return of the sky train].
He did, in the end, abide by the contract of the tragic writer, "die in a great tragedy". But this tragedy is not his life.
Instead, he struggled repeatedly in the abyss until the end, and chose to give up.
But I don't know that if I take a few steps forward... everything will be changed.
That's his tragedy—it's about his grit, his determination, his "luck."
There is tragedy about tragedy, but that was not Philip's life. The reason why the tragic writer will explain this is because he does not understand how Annan came to this world...
Philip's long life was indeed fruitful.
It is the future that he finally wrote on the Fourth Histories...not to extend his own life, but to choose to continue the glory of this world.
This may not be due to his lack of perseverance.
Rather, he made a decision.
"——I will see the return of the Skycart."
In other words... the reason why Annan was forcibly dragged to this world and reincarnated in the Dukedom of Winter by the remaining power of the sky cart. It is because Philip of the previous generation wrote this future.
He is the culprit who caused Annan to come to this world suddenly...probably.
Annan took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
He didn't know how to face Philip.
Annan is a very troubled person.
If it is not necessary, he would like to do nothing and lie lazily on the sofa like a cat; if it must be done, he will finish it with the highest efficiency. He hates the unforeseen and insoluble troubles in his peaceful life...but if he encounters troubles, he will just lament and work hard to solve them.
Not some special talent. Just an ordinary high-performance social animal.
different from the players.
Annan's previous life was very good, very peaceful. And when he comes to this world, he is not like the players, who can be resurrected happily and have companions who understand and support him.
He was alone, with no way out.
But Annan unexpectedly discovered that he didn't really hate Philip who caused him huge cross-world troubles for no reason...
Could it be that the spirit of a brave or hero is still hidden in my heart?
Annan was suddenly a little confused.
But one thing is certain.
Only he can complete the mission of "Tianche". And this world can't wait for the next Skytrain.
He is the first and last Savior.
"Are you going to keep it for yourself?"
Seeing Annan staring at the unfolding Fourth History Theory in his hand, the pardoner asked curiously.
Annan sighed and shook his head: "It's annoying to watch.
"...Take it back to Kafni, and return it to its original owner."
Anyway, Cafney's stuff can also be regarded as his stuff.
——Compared to the illusory "future" and "fate" and other broken things, Cafney, Senior Sal and his brothers and sisters are real existences.
