Odonis only needed to see or hear about something unnatural to know what caused it.
From there, he knew what it was and what characteristics it had.
He only heard from Lan Mu that they couldn't kill people in Buckingham Palace. So Odonis immediately knew that it was caused by the anomaly known as the Angel of Peace, and even knew all of the Angel of Peace's characteristics, including its side effects.
Then, according to Lan Mu's claustrophobia, he concluded that Lan Mu would pass this disease on to his descendants.
Originally, he didn't even know what claustrophobia was, but as soon as he heard the name, he knew what it was.
This reminded Lan Mu that he might be able to get the truth from him.
And it seemed to be a success. Odonis suddenly seemed to know something, and the answer was so unbelievable that Odonis couldn't control his expression.
"What do you know?" Lan Mu stared straight at Odonis and asked.
Odonis didn't answer and instead had Enoch lead everyone onto the boat while he headed deeper into the island.
Lan Mu consciously followed him, only to hear Odonis say: "Do you know where my ability came from?"
"I know, 001, your contract is to limit anomalies" Lan Mu replied.
Odonis looked deeply at Lan Mu and said: "I set the number 001 on it because I also consider it an anomaly. Humans will one day understand everything in the world through their own power. Gods are nothing more than creatures that humans can't understand, anomalies are nothing more than things that humans can't explain for the time being. 001 is the same, it's nothing more than an anomaly that surpasses all of this and is even more unimaginable. I believe that humans will one day understand and make good use of it, just like how we know that the Earth is round, gravity, and even the theory of evolution "
Lan Mu was originally very anxious because Odonis still didn't explain what the Blood of Time was, but after hearing this, he understood the essence of CANC's human supremacy.
Humans have always been trying to understand everything in the world and make use of it.
From wind, rain, thunder, lightning, to the sea of stars, even if it was an anomaly that couldn't be understood, it could still be explained by the information in the Grand Unified Theory of the Universe. The [Origin Algorithm] is also a kind of science.
Instead of using the anomalies to wage war, humans should be able to comprehend what they didn't understand from the anomalies. This was the original intention of CANC.
To put it bluntly, Adonis' heart was too big. He desperately wanted humans to have a limitless future and surpass everything. Even if humans had the qualifications to understand 001, it would have been billions of years later. However, Odonis, an 'ancient', still had to start worrying about himself.
"I've never told Enoch and the others about 001's existence because it is the anomaly that we will have to face in the end. Even if it helps us deal with the numerous anomalies that appear out of nowhere, that fact will not change" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"When all anomalies are no longer our enemies, 001 will be the final enemy"
Lan Mu smiled. So that was what the future Zero was thinking. He finally heard Zero say it out loud.
However, Odonis said, "I can only say this to you, because I can't say it to anyone else in this world. Furthermore, I don't want to say it either, because that would also mean that 001's existence would be passed on to even more people. If more and more people were to contract with it, I can't imagine what would happen in the end "
"When I was 14 years old and on the brink of death, I had already accepted that contract. My entire life was dedicated to the cause of limiting anomalies, and I had to pass on 001's existence before my death. This was something that I couldn't disobey "
"My heart, from the moment of the contract, had already turned this into an instinct. Perhaps I would still be able to clearly recognize 001 as an anomaly, but the next generation that would inherit my cause, or even the generation after that, might not necessarily be able to. One day, they would become addicted to all anomalies in this world and forget about 001, gradually becoming dependent on it. If a single child were to spread 001's existence, then humanity would never have a future "
"I've always been thinking of a way to bypass the restrictions of the contract and pass on this will"
Lan Mu couldn't help but say: "Establishing the Iron Doctrine, emphasizing that all things that humans cannot understand must be contained and controlled. When this doctrine is so noble that it encompasses everything, it naturally includes 001 as well"
To put it bluntly, 001's actions would easily distinguish it from all anomalies. After all, it didn't harm humans, but was instead hostile to all anomalies.
That was what Odonis was worried about, but as soon as he heard Lan Mu's idea, he was stunned.
"The contract allows me to limit anomalies, and I can't disobey it … then I'll do it even more extreme, to the point where I have to be wary of 001 that helps us? That way, I'll be able to achieve my goal without going against the instincts of the contract! I understand what you mean now … "
Odonis thought for a bit, even if Lan Mu didn't explain it in detail, he still understood.
As a matter of fact, this was what he did in the later stages of his life. He laid down the Iron Doctrine, cultivated Themis and Joshua, and conveyed the message that he wanted to convey through the act of 'better carrying out the contract'.
Lan Mu was stunned, then couldn't help but shake his head in self-mockery. He now understood why CANC in this period was so cute, while CANC in the future was so extreme towards anomalies …
"Ugh, this method …" Lan Mu was about to say that it was best not to use it, after all, to some extent, CANC also died under extreme circumstances. For the sake of a threat in the distant future, it didn't last that long …
Lan Mu wanted to remind him, but Odonis' next words immediately caught his attention.
"It's a very effective method … Are you talking about what I did in the other timeline?" Odonis asked.
Lan Mu's eyes lit up: "So you really know about the timeline … To tell you the truth, what I'm doing here seems to be something I did in the 19th century in my timeline, but it's actually impossible"
Odonis smiled bitterly: "If it's all a timeline created by the Blood of Time, then of course it's impossible, but the problem is that your timeline … is not created by the Blood of Time, but by 001"
"In other words, in a timeline not created by the Blood of Time, the same thing can exist at the same time?"
Lan Mu suddenly understood. The contradiction he couldn't figure out actually had a premise, that is, he regarded the time rule shown by the Blood of Time as the rule of all time.
But just when Lan Mu thought that he figured it out, Odonis directly denied it.
"No."
"Huh?"
Lan Mu was stunned. Odonis explained: "There won't be two of you in the same timeline. But there is a special case, that is, the timeline that already exists will not erase the traces of your existence because of the external you, at most, it will make the you that exists at the same time disappear "
"The Blood of Time will create a timeline according to the user's situation. A timeline that doesn't have the user and the things that he or she carries "
"However, if a person chooses a timeline that already exists, then the Blood of Time will not create a new one. Instead, it will send that person to that timeline. If you happen to conflict with the person who descended, then you will disappear. But everything you've changed, everything you've left behind, will not disappear. "
Lan Mu nodded and said: "I know this, it happened when the Blood of Time was tested"
This was the case with Dark Joshua, and it also included the third experiment of the Lan Bai Society, where the bronze teapot from the alternate timeline replaced their bronze teapot, but the historical records and effects were left behind, which was also the case.
This meant that Lan Mu's timeline had existed for a long time.
But this didn't explain why the Life Sphere didn't disappear.
Lan Mu didn't mention the Life Sphere, but used another analogy to make Odonis understand what he meant.
"… There was a me who arrived in the 19th century, and I didn't exist at that time, so it wouldn't cause me to disappear. But there was one thing on him that he would definitely take away. But in reality, I obtained that thing in the 21st century. That thing has a very long history, and it already existed more than 100 million years ago, and it had a profound impact on the entire universe, even affecting later generations. Tell me, why didn't the other me come and erase that thing, but let the future me find it? "
This was a bit of a roundabout way of speaking, but Odonis understood.
"This is where I feel despair … I know why, but are you sure you want to know the answer? Even if the answer is incomparably sad? "
Odonis' eyes became incomparably quiet, and Lan Mu didn't know if he was looking at himself or at the world.
Lan Mu knew that the truth might be incomparably cruel, but he still wanted to know! This was the nature of humans, and the nature of all intelligent creatures!
"Tell me!"
Lan Mu's tone was resolute and decisive! His eyes were unwavering.
Odonis said in an incomparably strong and calm tone, as if he was crying.
"In a sense, you are only eight years old this year."
Lan Mu was waiting for the answer with incomparable concentration, but when he heard this, he was stunned.
"Hm? What are you talking about? "
"The whole world is lying to you."
