Gao Qi entered a space that he had never entered before.
It was a bright world with green grass and beautiful flowers. There was a huge tree with a trunk as thick as ten feet. Its bark was mottled and strong, but its leaves were green.
The wind blew the leaves, and the sunlight swayed between the leaves. Gao Qi had a feeling that the tree was dancing.
However, the beautiful scenery only existed in the area covered by the branches and leaves of the tree. Outside the area covered by the tree was a world of ice and snow. The mountains in the distance were towering, but they were all under his feet.
There was a man standing under a big tree at the top of a snowy mountain.
He had a head of black hair, but his face looked a little weathered. He was wearing a white robe and stood under the tree, staring at Gao Qi.
Although there were some changes, the appearance was almost the same. Gao Qi could naturally recognize that the man standing under the tree and staring at him was himself, just an old him.
"Where is this? It can't be heaven, right? "
First, he joked with himself. Then, Gao Qi pointed at himself and said, "You are the old me? In that case, does this count as schizophrenia? "
"This is the holy land of the elves. The people I love are buried here. Of course, this is just my memory, or rather, our memory, so you are in the depths of your own consciousness."
He was talking to himself. If he was asking and answering his own question, then he was really schizophrenia.
Gao Qi thought for a long time, and then he said with melancholy, "This feeling is so strange. Is this the feeling of schizophrenia?"
"I am Gao Qi, but I am also the Human Emperor, and you are only Gao Qi. However, from various angles, this should be considered multiple personality disorder, and there is a difference between multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia."
Gao Qi spread his hands, indicating that he had nothing to say.
"You already know some of your experiences in the Otherworld in the future, but they are only important nodes. Don't you realize that you can't remember anything about your personal feelings?"
Gao Qi immediately nodded and said, "Speaking of which, that's right. I feel like I'm suffering from selective amnesia."
"It was I who selectively gave you the memories."
Gao Qi asked in confusion, "Since you are me, why can you choose to give me your memories?"
"The one I love is already dead, and the one who loves me is also dead. You are me, and I am you. Everything you experience in the future, whether it's joy or sorrow, anger or relief, is a part of your memories. And all these memories should have faded away with the flow of time, as if they had never happened. But because of this Divine Artifact, things have changed."
After the old Gao Qi finished speaking, he raised his hand. There was a green gem in his hand.
"This is a sacred object of the elves. The elves call it the Soul Stone. That's why the strongest warriors are the elves and not the humans or the orcs. It's because of this Soul Stone."
Gao Qi immediately said, "I don't understand. I don't have any memories of this."
"Of course you don't understand, because we are now two completely different personalities. The 22-year-old you is a part of the 72-year-old me, but the 72-year-old me is not a part of you."
Gao Qi quietly listened. The old him continued to speak, "The elves are rich in archers and magicians. But the elves' weak bodies can produce a Martial Saint because they have Soul Stones. Soul Stones can store souls, so when a generation of elven Martial Saints dies, the new generation of elven Martial Saints will immediately inherit over ten thousand years of knowledge. But this is not rebirth, not infinite resurrection, it's just saving and reading."
"I understand."
The Human Emperor nodded, then he calmly said, "It's just like what we are doing now. The only difference is that the elves are passing their knowledge to the next generation, while I am saving my soul and giving it to my younger self."
Gao Qi helplessly said, "You should have appeared earlier and told me everything. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Although he was complaining to himself, the old Gao Qi still calmly said, "If it wasn't for the Soul Stone, the me after you transmigrated would no longer exist. Then, although I have the Soul Stone, there are no conditions to trigger it, so of course I can't come out. When you are on the verge of death and lose consciousness, I can come out from the Soul Stone and take over your body and brain. At the same time, I can also preserve your consciousness, just like now."
"I don't understand more and more. This is too stream-of-consciousness. Forget it, let's not talk like this here. Let's become one. I want to know everything."
Gao Qi once again complained to his old self and invited him to join.
If this was a dual personality, then the dual personalities could also become one.
"No, because that will really kill me. I will completely disappear, but you will continue to exist as an independent personality. The Soul Stone can protect my soul from being destroyed, but the Soul Stone was left behind in the magic formation. So, as a memory that should have disappeared, I can no longer exist."
Gao Qi was a little sad, because he was about to lose his memories of the future.
"Then what should I do, Human Emperor?"
Gao Qi was willing to call his future self the Human Emperor, because he did not know how to face his other self.
"I want to ask you, as an independent personality, are you willing to accept all your memories? Those moments when you were moved, those moments when you were angry, those good and bad memories, but they all turned into memories of endless sadness in the end. Are you willing to accept the death of the people you love, and the death of the people who love you in front of you? Everything you cherish and love turned into endless sadness and regret because of failure in the end. Are you willing to accept such memories? "
Gao Qi was silent for a long time. He was hesitating.
The Human Emperor smiled bitterly. He said with a helpless expression, "I am an Earthling. I don't want Earth to be destroyed because of me, so I used the last of my strength to close the spatial gate so that the Demon God could not come to Earth. But in this way, I also completely cut off the way back. So, if I accept these memories, it means that I will never be able to make up for it. Are you willing to accept it?"
Gao Qi sighed. Then, he said in a low voice, "I don't know."
A person's way of thinking would change as they grew older. Therefore, the old Gao Qi and the young Gao Qi could be considered as two different people, or rather, two different personalities.
The Human Emperor said with a sigh, "After the shooting range, the memories are different. So, after the shooting range, we can be considered two people. I am me, and you are you. Now, as the main personality, I plan to take away all my memories. Everything I have experienced will not become your memories."
Gao Qi said firmly, "No, I am the main personality, and you are the secondary personality. Because you have died in another world, and I have been living very well on Earth."
The Human Emperor fell into a trance.
Who knew how many people had the experience of being serious with themselves.
Soon, the Human Emperor smiled and said with a relaxed expression, "You're right. Since I'm you, I should give myself a different life path when I look at my younger self. You won't be able to experience what I've experienced. The people I've loved will never appear again. Let me take away all your memories and let you walk on a different life path."
Gao Qi immediately said, "Wait a minute. Since you are me, and I am you, why don't you make yourself a super powerhouse? Don't you want to give yourself a better path? "
The Human Emperor pointed at his head and said, "I am your memories, and power is knowledge, and knowledge is power. If I give you power, I will have to give you knowledge. If I give you knowledge, I will give you memories that can't be separated. If you don't experience it, how can you comprehend it? I have power because I have experienced too much and lost too much. If you want to inherit all my power, I can only continue to exist while you disappear."
Gao Qi began to hesitate, but the Human Emperor smiled and said, "I'm about to disappear, and I won't fight with you for the position of the main personality. Who would mistreat themselves? So don't be afraid. I'll give you what I can, and if I can't, I'll leave with you."
After saying that, fragments began to float out of the Human Emperor's body. Some of the fragments flew towards Gao Qi, while most of them flew towards the tree. They revolved around the tree until they turned into green leaves.
The Human Emperor began to collapse, but he was still in his human form. It was just that his face began to become blurry.
The Human Emperor raised his right hand and waved at Gao Qi. He softly said, "Goodbye, my other self."
Gao Qi also waved his hand and whispered to his other self, "Goodbye."
The Human Emperor completely turned into fragments. Then, the world Gao Qi saw collapsed. The mountains collapsed, the trees disappeared. Gao Qi's vision turned into the void. But in the void, he saw many shining runes. It was just that there were fewer runes and they were much simpler.
Gao Qi withdrew from the depths of his consciousness, but he maintained his consciousness. So, he clearly knew that a new him was born.
