Chapter 297: He, Who Spans Five Thousand Years of Human History!
No matter how deliberately someone changes their appearance and alters their behavior, some deeply ingrained habits rooted in the soul remain difficult to erase.
After the footage of the human representatives' deeds was made public, Buddha repeatedly studied it, watching countless times.
Eventually, he noticed some discrepancies.
He was astonished to discover similarities in the speech and mannerisms of these human representatives.
Particularly between those from adjacent time periods, the resemblances were even stronger.
Moreover, until the eighth match—no, the eighth match was blurred in his memory due to the Spear of Destiny.
But during the first seven matches, he had carefully observed the human representatives using Future Sight, and he had an indescribable feeling—almost as if he were looking at the same person?
Of course, initially, Buddha hadn't dwelled on this thought or investigated it further.
It wasn't until the ninth round, when he entered the state of Six Realms Guanyin and repeatedly reloaded saves, that he attempted to leap further into the past.
The result? He could indeed jump to earlier periods.
03 So that means he can change the past?
Sorry, but no. For any period before he transformed into the Six Realms Guanyin, he can only observe past events without altering them.
It's like using the Akashic System to immerse himself in the past, but he cannot change what has already happened.
Moreover, when he jumps further into the past, he cannot freely shift his perspective—he can only share the viewpoint of his past self, without overwriting that self's consciousness.
Hence, it's essentially like using the Akashic System to jump into the past and watch recordings.
Then doesn't that make it meaningless?
Not entirely—there is some significance.
Through the perspective of his past self, Buddha, in his Six Realms Guanyin state, utilized Future Sight during this jump to perceive things that were previously invisible in the past.
This time, he saw a thread on every person—the Thread of Fate, weaving through time and space.
And on these representatives of humanity, he noticed that their Threads of Fate were actually connected.
Not merely intertwined, but fused into a single thread, as if sharing one—something that should be impossible.
The only scenario where this could occur is if these two individuals are actually the same person, reincarnated across different eras, thus sharing a single Thread of Fate.
Otherwise, a normal person would only have one such thread, originating at their birth and extending until their death.
The Thread of Fate representing humanity began nearly five thousand years ago and has continued unbroken to the present, linking all human representatives throughout this period.
Thus, combining this with earlier suspicions, Buddha arrived at an unbelievable possibility!
And now, it seems this possibility is correct.
"Which one is the real you? The king of Uruk from nearly five thousand years ago? The king of the Kingdom of Judah from three thousand years ago? Or..."
Buddha went on, naming each human representative.
So, if he's this abnormal, is there no one behind him?
The original King of Heroes was merely human—how did he manage to kill a chief god?
And where did the weapon that killed the chief god come from?
On this point, Buddha analyzed and found that these seemed to come from the future—not the future beyond this time, but from a future after the King of Heroes, where someone sent these items back to the past.
And that someone was clearly himself.
"...Finally, born at the end of the last century, currently an ordinary human named Renji?"
This last person was also superimposed on the throne by Qin Shi Huang's holographic figure.
Indeed, just an ordinary human, which somewhat surprised Buddha.
"Huh? R-Renji?"
Serafall, who had been stunned by the shocking information revealed by Buddha, suddenly widened her eyes.
That name was all too familiar—wasn't it the other name used by King Solomon in her world?
So, connecting this with earlier suspicions about the two King Solomons across worlds, the conclusion was—the same person!!!
For a moment, Serafall was speechless.
She didn't know what words could describe this person.
He single-handedly spanned nearly five thousand years of human history in this world, becoming the sole representative of humanity to contend against the Gods?
He alone reversed the course of destiny and created one miracle after another, establishing a force capable of rivaling the Gods.
Such a tale wouldn't even be written in fairy tales, yet he accomplished it, rendering his legendary feats beyond description.
"Moreover, the Threads of Fate belonging to certain individuals that should have been severed—no, utterly vanished—have now been restored."
Certain individuals?
"If my speculation is correct, Zeus, Shiva, Odin, and others are actually still alive, aren't they? You must have assigned them to some task, likely sent them to the rear stronghold of the Primordial God Gaia, right?"
Buddha continued with this conjecture.
"No, I am not yet capable of sending them directly to Gaia's stronghold. I merely dispatched them to a world called Evie Etoulde—a world nearly dominated by the other three deities created by Gaia."
The Emperor's response confirmed that Buddha's speculations were entirely accurate.
"Evie Etoulde? Truly, Your Majesty Qin Shi Huang?"
An excited voice rang out—it was Sefaira, for her world was named Evie Etoulde.
"I do not know if it is your world."
In response, Qin Shi Huang projected an image—a depiction of that world, now half-destroyed.
Upon seeing that image, the otherworldly shrine maiden's reaction made it clear this was her world.
Thus, there was no longer any need for concealment. The plans laid over such a long period had already been set in motion, unfolding much as anticipated.
Therefore, he was unconcerned about certain truths regarding himself being exposed.
Speaking of which, why hadn't he interfered when Serafall and the others were attempting to escape earlier?
The reason was simple: he couldn't. He needed to devote all his efforts to deceiving Buddha, leaving him unable to intervene in their actions.
In the end, they still managed to return to reality. The slight tear they created in the virtual world made Buddha realize something was wrong.
So, he produced a card and tossed it toward Buddha.
This guy's soul was already beginning to crumble!
By using this card to reconvert him, he could be reborn anew.
Of course, he would also become subordinate to him.
"Subordinate to you?"
Buddha showed no resistance. The person before him had surpassed the gods, and he had no objections to him becoming the leader of this world.
Not only in intellect but also in power, he completely overshadowed all the gods.
He was the undisputed emperor among human emperors.
He would also become the undisputed god-king among all divine rulers!
