Chapter 675 Memory Affects Time
Chapter 675 Memory Affects Time
Although it has been decided that Xing will inherit the duties of the Titan of Time, some preparation time is still needed.
After all, noon had already passed, and they couldn't just rush off to do their business. Besides, Xing also needed to prepare himself mentally.
And so, Xi Lian decided to temporarily leave Xing's side to let Xing catch her breath, while she herself pulled Qi Fu away to other places.
…………
Ohmma Market
Although it was a virtual world, Qi Fu still managed to get Xi Lian to do something bad.
They grabbed some local snacks from the food stalls, then some drinks, and like thieves, they ran to the big tree in Ohmma Square and sat down.
Then the two of them sat down and ate while enjoying the view of Ohmma.
"I suddenly feel like I've turned bad!" Xi Lian said, taking a sip of juice.
"What, you're not blaming me again for leading you astray, are you?" Qi Fu glanced at Xi Lian.
“Of course…no,” Xi Lian said, then suddenly changed her tone.
"After all, I have no qualms about dealing with unscrupulous businessmen," Xi Lian said with a light smile.
"However, these snacks taste alright, it's just a pity that to me they're just for tasting," Qi Fu said, picking up the dried meat.
Xi Lian: "Not full?"
“Of course, after all, in my eyes this is just data,” Qi Fu nodded.
In his eyes, these jerky pieces were virtual, except that special data simulated some flavors for them.
From a purely technical standpoint, it's already incredibly advanced, not much different from reality.
"Virtual, huh! That makes sense, so I'm virtual in your eyes too? Is that why you're not very interested in me?" Xi Lian asked.
“No, actually you are somewhat different from the people of Onphalus now,” Zifu denied.
"What's the difference?"
"I've already been teaching you how to use the power within you, haven't I? That's the most obvious difference between you and the Onpharos. You possess a very clear power of memory, a kind of chaotic memory, and your body is now a manifestation of that chaotic memory."
“From the perspective of this world’s definition of life, you can basically be considered half a memory meme life,” Qi Fu explained.
"Why is it half?" Xi Lian tilted her head.
"Because your memories are incomplete, incomplete memories cannot truly become memetic life forms. Logically speaking, you are just a soul consciousness without your own physical body. This is why you cannot be seen by the people of Onphalus," Qi Fu added.
"Oh, I see. So why can Xing see me?" Xi Lian asked again.
"Well, I'm quite curious about that too. You're missing so much crucial information, relying solely on those fragmented memories to sustain your existence. I'm afraid that one day your fragmented memories will break down, and you'll disappear. That's why I gave you the blessing that guarantees your self-preservation."
"I see. It's probably because I am the ripple of the past," Xi Lian recalled the name.
"The ripples of the past?" Qi Fu looked over.
“Yes, the name that suddenly appeared in my memory is ‘Ripples of the Past’,” Xi Lian nodded.
Qi Fu: “…………”
"Why are you suddenly silent again?" Xi Lian noticed Qi Fu's expression.
"I was just wondering if I made a mistake by giving you my own blessing, since you said you're in the past," Qi Fu sighed.
"Haha, regretting it now? But I won't let you off so easily," Xi Lian laughed, while Qi Fu was somewhat helpless.
"Haha, just kidding. Whether you regret it or not, whether you want to take it back or not, I won't blame you. Now, I'm only curious about one thing, which is why Xing and I appeared in the time of Onphalus Caesar. You said we've only been here for less than three days, so why can we see these things? What does this have to do with anything?" Xi Lian looked expectant.
“It could be cause and effect! Memory influencing time isn’t a one-off occurrence,” Qi Fu said, feeling a bit tired from sitting, so he lay down on the tree trunk.
"Does memory affect time?" Xi Lian seemed to understand something.
Then she looked at Qi Fu, who was lying lazily on the tree trunk. Her thoughts stirred slightly, and the power in her body swirled around her. She floated in the air and flew directly towards Qi Fu, who was not far away. Finally, she lay down on Qi Fu.
Upon feeling another person on his back, Qi Fu instinctively wrapped his arms around the other person's waist.
"What are you doing? Aren't you afraid we'll all fall down together?" Qi Fu said speechlessly.
"Don't worry, you'll protect me anyway, right? Just like that, you immediately hugged me," Xi Lian said with a grin.
"You really have no shame. What kind of relationship do we have now? Can you even tell?" Qi Fu glanced at her.
"Although I'm not sure yet, I have a feeling, a very familiar feeling, that I feel comfortable lying on top of you and want to fall asleep, and I don't feel any aversion at all."
"Moreover, you just said that it's not uncommon for memories to affect time, so do you think it's possible that future memories are influencing my present self?" Xi Lian asked, leaning on Qi Fu.
Hearing Xi Lian's words, Qi Fu fell silent again.
"Are you... sure?" Qi Fu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not received any changes in his own memories and the cause and effect of time, so he remained reserved about Xi Lian's guess.
Moreover, the power of cause and effect has almost no effect on him, so it's normal that he can't feel it.
But if he and Xi Lian really have some kind of relationship in the future, why doesn't he see his cause in Xi Lian, the former ripple, as his woman?
Was he stripped away? Or what? In this world, besides that guy Xu Shu, who else can strip him of his karma?
It can't just be a normal cause and effect of the past influencing the present, right? If that were the case, there would be a reason why he couldn't see the normal cause and effect of the past, since it hadn't actually happened yet.
Wait, past and present? Ripples of yesteryear? Could it be? Just as Qi Fu was starting to see some clues, Xi Lian spoke again.
"I'm not sure, but I trust my gut feeling!"
"Besides, as a god, you wouldn't just stand by and do nothing about this world, would you?" Xi Lian said in a low voice.
"You already know that I won't just watch over this world, but the problem remains the same: there are still many mysteries about you that I can't see through," Qi Fu said slowly.
"Then let's do an experiment!" Xi Lian said after thinking for a moment.
"What experiment?"
"Hold me tight and stay still. No matter what I do next, you can't let us fall."
"Okay, I've stuck the tree trunk to my back like an octopus's suckers, so what's next?"
As soon as Qi Fu finished speaking, he noticed that Xi Lian started to crawl towards his head, and only stopped when her head was facing his.
Seeing this, Qi Fu realized what Xi Lian was planning to do.
And so, as their eyes met, Xi Lian lowered her head.
On their very first meeting, Xi Lian and he shared a passionate French kiss, and it's fair to say that she was completely uninhibited.
Of course, he also suffered attacks from several pairs of fair and delicate hands during this kiss. He was the one who was seduced, so why blame him?
After a seemingly romantic and passionate kiss, Xi Lian looked at him with a blush and a satisfied expression.
"Hehe, I suddenly thought of something. You said I don't have a physical body now, I'm a soul, a consciousness, and you are also a part of my consciousness simulating my current physical state, so..."
"Was this a divine (deep) kiss?"
