Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

If the other party also chooses to change the timeline, and suppose the murderer who killed Jiang Qiqi is also a fraudster, and he is at 00:00, he also [rewinds] with me, and he goes back one minute longer than me, to 23:54, and chooses to kill Jiang Qiqi at 23:54 in advance, then would my [rewind] be in vain?

So, if there is such a "scammer" who specifically targets me and messes with my mentality, can he chase me and keep moving forward [backwards] together?

Of course, there is a premise here that the levels of both people are not low. According to Qin Shang's current level of only a level 2 Lawful Realm player, being able to go back 20 minutes is already the limit.

And if you really choose to [Rewind] the current online time dimension, it will take such a long time...

In Qin Shang's attribute panel, the skill [Fake Death] will definitely fall into CD period.

"hehe"

The dissatisfied voice of the girl in the prophecy pen suddenly sounded.

"Thunder King, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm asking you a serious question. If a fraudster wants to change something, and he encounters another fraudster, wouldn't it be much more difficult to change that thing? You two can't just keep [rewinding] because of an argument, right?"

"puff!"

"Jiang Qiqi, have you heard of the parallel universe theory?"

"I've heard a little bit about it. Maybe it means that in another universe, there is also a person exactly like me, living a completely different life from mine."

"That's understandable."

"What I want to say is, if this situation really happened, suppose you were killed at 00:00, and I chose to go back to the minute before you were killed at 00:00, and the murderer chose to go back to two minutes before 00:00 in order to avoid me saving you."

"Well, because the key information we used to return to the past is different, the parallel universes we returned to are also different. It seems that they are both based on you, but in fact, they have opened up two new parallel universes."

"According to what you said, after killing you, that person knew that I would probably go back to one minute before your death, so he went back one minute earlier than me. Let's use the example just now. I went back to 23:59 and he went to 23:58."

"My purpose, Qin Shang's, was to go back based on the event, 'Jiang Qiqi will be killed at 00:00' and point to the event 'causing Jiang Qiqi to die at 00:00', so I went back to the timeline of 23:59. But if that person went back with me, then the event of 'Qin Shang saving Jiang Qiqi at 23:59' did not happen at the moment when we went back at the same time, at least it did not happen at the moment when he and I went back together."

"Then, he will go back to a timeline of 23:58, a timeline where Qin Shang has not yet saved Jiang Qiqi at 23:59, and then kill Jiang Qiqi at 23:59 on this timeline. However, the place I am going back to is the timeline where Jiang Qiqi died at 00:00, and I am about to go back to the timeline of 23:59 to save Jiang Qiqi."

"In other words, if we do this, we will go to two different parallel universes, because Jiang Qiqi died in 00;00, and in the subsequent timeline, 'Jiang Qiqi's death in 00;00 is already an established fact'. I can only go back to my past, but I can't change the future of this (you) now."

"To put it simply, if Jiang Qiqi is destined to die at 00:00 at this moment, then suppose there is an observer A who will observe the changes of Jiang Qiqi on this timeline after I [rewind]. For example, in your concept, if the past is changed, the future will also be changed. So, you think that if I save Jiang Qiqi at 23:59, then observer A will see Jiang Qiqi, who was supposed to be dead, crawling up from the ground, right?"

"But I tell you, this is impossible, because in the time that observer A can observe, Jiang Qiqi died at 00;00. Even if I went to the past and changed the ending of 00;00's death, in the world seen by observer A, Jiang Qiqi is also a corpse."

"And in another world, I saved Jiang Qiqi, who was supposed to die on the 00;00 timeline. In that world, there will be no observer a, or in other words, it is not what observer a can see, but observer b, c, or any other high-dimensional creature, because that is another timeline, or a branch of the parallel universe. In other words, Jiang Qiqi's death on 00;00 became a time node, and from this node, the multiverse extended."

"That is, several directions."

"But no matter how these worlds develop, it cannot affect the fact that Jiang Qiqi died at 00:00 in the world before I [rewind]... In other words, if this is the world of the 'first act', if Jiang Qiqi died at 00:00 in the 'first act', then even if I go back to save Jiang Qiqi at 23:59, after the fact that Jiang Qiqi died in the 'first act', there will be no such person as Jiang Qiqi on this timeline."

"Even if I go back to the first game, one minute before you die, and change the ending of the first game, saving you, this is not the world of the first game, this will become the second game."

"Then... in the second game, will I be as lively as I was in the first game?"

"Maybe, maybe, maybe not!"

"But I am sure of one thing: [She] is not [you] anymore."

"Even if it's you from a minute ago, that's not you anymore. Even if you look the same and have the same personality, she belongs to the 'second round' world. It's like when someone dies, their consciousness is transferred to another body in the form of data. Isn't this a research project that many scientists often talk about?"

"Many wealthy people try to use this method to achieve physical immortality for humans... But is the person who is revived still the same person? All growth experiences and memories are completely digitized. Maybe by substituting them into a special formula, it is really possible to completely calculate a person's character and personality. Let the experimental subject with all the memories and experiences of a dead person's brain replace the dead individual, but is that person still the same person..."

"You understand [rewind] as changing the past, but in fact the past cannot be changed. What can be changed is the future. If your death has become a thing of the past and has been anchored as an event in this world, then I can only return to other parallel universes to change our future. But at that time, the you I met was just a girl with the same appearance, height, and personality as you. She is no longer you!"

Parallel universe theory!

Damn, am I so pretentious in "First Week"?

He can even talk about Einstein's multiverse theory?

No... In the first week, I won't be a top student who graduated from some prestigious institution, right?

Qin Shang couldn't help but twitch his lips when he listened to the contents of the prophecy pen.

At this moment, Jiang Qiqi's clear voice suddenly rang out from the recorder.

"So, if my death in Act 1 is not anchored..."

"What!?"

"If, assuming that I was assassinated and died at 00:00, then what if you were at 23:59:30? If I died at 00:00, then within the previous 30 seconds, I would not have died at that time, if my death had not become an anchored established fact."

"So, after [rewinding] at 23;59;30, did you go to the second game or the first game? At this time, we can only anchor that my assassination is an established fact, right? Because I am not dead yet, it does not fit the fact that Jiang Qiqi was assassinated at 00;00. In this case, if you [faked your death] and rewind, will you go to the world of the first game or the second game..."

The voice from the 'Thunder King' in the recorder suddenly became quiet. Perhaps Qin Shang, who was holding the recorder, was shocked by Jiang Qiqi's imaginative words. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

I actually had this ridiculous feeling as if a vicious cycle had been broken. Is Jiang Qiqi's brain so useful?

If the outcome of anchoring something is not considered, a pullback will be made under this prerequisite.

It seems that it is really possible to continue staying on this timeline without creating new branches!

"The event is 23:59:00 when Jiang Qiqi was assassinated, and the event that points to the result is 00:00:00 when Jiang Qiqi died. So if after Jiang Qiqi's death, you go back to this minute, 23:59:01 to 23:59:59, both of which match the two related events on this timeline: Jiang Qiqi was assassinated at 59 and died at 00. So, if you go back to this time point first, and then activate [Fake Death] again, will you still go to other parallel universes?"

"Jiang Qiqi between 23;00;01 and 00;00;00 was actually in a blind box opening state, wasn't she? As long as you don't know the exact second I died, and you know these two related events, then you only need to go back from the established fact of my death to the time when I was about to die, and point to the established fact of my death. Are you still on this timeline?"

"Then, if I die after 00:00, and you go back to 23:59:30 and see me dying, and you activate the [Rewind] function a second time at this time, then you won't have to enter other parallel universes? Because on the timeline of this universe, Jiang Qiqi died at 00:00. Jiang Qiqi is indeed about to die, but she is not dead."

"You didn't change this, but you entered a timeline where Jiang Qiqi was about to die, but didn't die. In this short timeline, Jiang Qiqi actually died at 00; 00 is a directional event, but it is not an anchored event, so you don't change the anchoring event. At this time, you can [rewind] and use this | Schrodinger's Jiang Qiqi | timeline to go back to 23; 59 before I was assassinated."

"Are you still in the first round? Because Jiang Qiqi, who is in the middle of the [rewind] jump, is in a state of both life and death. So, although the assassination incident has already happened, this incident cannot anchor Jiang Qiqi's death. So, the event of Jiang Qiqi's assassination will also have the possibility of being changed in this 30-second period!"

Because the directionality of the two things has changed from necessity to association, there is no clear directionality.

In other words, there is no clear result.

In the thirty seconds when Jiang Qiqi became |Schrödinger's Qiqi|, no new timeline branch would be generated. If the Lightning King did not interfere with the result of these thirty seconds, but used the thirty seconds when Jiang Qiqi's life and death were uncertain - the assassination of Jiang Qiqi as a related event to perform a second [rewind], then he would not have opened a new parallel universe...

Only by using a single event to [rewind] can a new parallel universe be opened.
