Chapter 676: The Opposition of Order
Only children make choices, adults would choose to have them all.
Only the weak think they have no choice. The strong will take the initiative to fight even if there is no hope for the future.
Jiang Yu left Zhan Lan's home - the course of fate kept changing in his eyes. He knew that he could still suppress the many major events on this planet caused by the distortion of the script, but he also knew that it would not be long before his body, which at least maintained the level of "ordinary people" in terms of absolute output, would be unable to suppress the variables that were destined to continue to accumulate.
Just like a dam - if the flood is not released, then no matter how strong the barrier is, it will eventually collapse under the infinite pressure. And the destruction caused by that time will be far greater than the loss caused by temporarily opening the floodgates. No one can prevent the structural collapse of the world order.
——But can I really not do it?
Suddenly, there was a sharp friction sound on the road. A fully loaded semi-trailer with brake failure stopped in front of the sidewalk where people were passing by under the driver's desperate control. Many people screamed and ran away, while many others sat on the ground with a blank expression, or jumped and shouted and cursed as if they were crazy.
It was an accident, the heavy truck was supposed to hit the sidewalk due to the failure of the brake structure - dozens of people would die immediately and hundreds would be injured in this disaster. Because the truck would run directly over the crosswalk and then hit the gas station not far away.
Jiang Yu stopped all this. He used a chain reaction caused by a slightly faster pace to suppress the damaged brake system of the truck. The car that was originally unable to stop stopped, but the result was only a few minutes of traffic jam and dozens of people were slightly frightened.
He stopped it because he could see it, because he was watching it, and because everything that was happening was right within his narrow perspective as an 'ordinary person'.
But what about beyond this?
Jiang Yu blinked, and immediately realized a fact - within one minute of leaving Zhan Lan's residence, there were 127 places on the planet with accidents of varying sizes. A total of 75 people died and 695 were injured. This data was in line with the average value of historical operations, and there was no increase or decrease compared to the past one or two years.
So they died—Jiang Yu did not save them. Because Jiang Yu did not see, or Jiang Yu did not pay close attention to these tiny variables.
He shouldn't have saved them, and shouldn't have wasted computing power on these daily casualties. Because the world's order was still operating stably during this period, they didn't die because of the structural damage of the order, their death was very normal.
The guardian and maintainer of order does not need to waste power on individuals who have nothing to do with order - this is the principle he should follow. The Great Celestial Lord will do this, and he will not take any action before the rules are broken. As long as the lines drawn in advance are not touched, even if the holy war between the multiverses is in full swing and billions of sentient beings, gods and saints all wail and die, he will not take the initiative to step out of the High Heaven Palace.
But Jiang Yu will do it.
He carefully weighed and calculated the accumulated causes and consequences of previous events, and he was sure that even if he left it alone, the harm caused by the heavy truck would not hinder any of his actions.
The explosion would not lift the corner of his clothes, and no debris would fly in his direction. Even if the gas station exploded and pedestrians were killed and injured, not a single person among the dead had any causal relationship with him and his team. Even among the predetermined dead, there was not a single talent who would play a role in promoting the subsequent evolution of the script.
Those who will die here are just a group of ordinary people with no ability and potential.
This accident was a random variable that was not directed at him. Its occurrence had nothing to do with the backlash of the script. It was not even an offense to him.
However, he still rescued these people.
So, based on this precedent, does he need to be saved, given all the other people on this planet who have died in the past minute?
Should he extend the lifespan of all the people in this galaxy who died in accidents within the past minute?
Does he need to ensure that all the intelligent life forms in this universe who died due to accidents before Tianshou arrived can live until the last second of Tianshou?
The answer was self-evident. He shouldn't carry all these things on his shoulders. What he should protect was order, not life, and he had emphasized this to Zhan Lan just a minute ago.
Then, why did I save the victims who appeared before me before?
——I am not the Great Celestial Lord.
Jiang Yu learned a fact: He is not him.
Even though he and the Great Celestial Venerable had the same path and philosophy, and could even merge the two at any time, he was not him after all.
He is not a machine or puppet of the Way of Order. He will actively "flexibly adjust" the use of the Way of Order for his own preferences. He will do things that the Great Heavenly Venerable will never do, and he will never cross the line like the Great Heavenly Venerable. And because of this, he has the possibility of killing the Silver Snake, because the Great Heavenly Venerable cannot do it.
The cognition became profound at this moment, and there was no longer any equality between Jiang Yu and the Great Heavenly Venerable. He knew that the Great Heavenly Venerable had become an opponent that needed to be defeated due to his change of thoughts, rather than a target that could be merged with in one thought. He acknowledged and accepted this, and the moment he made the decision, he knew that the Great Heavenly Venerable had also confirmed his intention.
He raised his head, and his eyes met the Great Celestial Venerable's in the void. A gap was created between creation and residue, and Jiang Yu could no longer use the Great Celestial Venerable's vision as freely as he did the previous second - he fell towards the level of the Heaven of Disorder, and soon, even the principles of the Heaven of Disorder were abandoned by him, because he himself was order.
He fell back into the realm of the high-level saints in the void, but he was still in the void. The only one who could see his true form was the Great Celestial Venerable who was standing at the top of the infinite multiplicity. The silver snake that was devouring the food outside once again cast its eyes inward to explore the infinite multiplicity, and once again returned to its original realm because it found nothing.
The snake had looked many times - this time, it still saw nothing.
Jiang Yu was not worried because he knew that the Great Heavenly Venerable was order and would never cross the line. As long as he was still a saint and did not take the initiative to seize the position, the Great Heavenly Venerable would not take any action, even if all his actions were clearly seen by the Great Heavenly Venerable.
Guardians of order - prisoners of order.
Jiang Yu's eyes shifted away from the Great Heavenly Venerable. He no longer needed to keep an eye on his future enemy.
His vision had dropped, and his ability to interfere had been greatly reduced. However, even so, there were some things he could still do.
——Why can’t I do it?
Reach out your hand and use your body movements to mobilize the air. The free energy in the atmosphere is mobilized by Jiang Yu and compiled into a program. This autonomous order will become the magic of nature, providing shelter for all residents living under this order.
A mechanism, a blessing. As long as individuals live and follow the order, they will be protected by the power of this order mechanism in the event of an unexpected event - they will become lucky and sharp, and thus be able to escape danger before the crisis comes. And if a disaster of a large enough magnitude is brewing, then the sharp ones among them will act autonomously under the impetus of the order structure, proactively discover those potential crises, and deal with them quickly at the first opportunity.
The accidental death rate on Earth dropped to a negligible level in an instant. Jiang Yu would not actively interfere with the lifespan of ordinary things, nor would the order he created. But in addition, the autonomous order he created would rely on the clustering of intelligent creatures to spontaneously iterate, improve, and quickly extend to the other side of deep space.
He is still an ordinary person.
He still hadn't created a tool with extraordinary properties and equipped it in his own hands - the wonders of nature had little to do with him, and he didn't even intend to retain the ability to interfere with this order. Unless it reached a certain point that needed to be dealt with urgently, Jiang Yu would let it run autonomously.
Now, there are no surprises in this world.
No one realizes this, but they have definitely participated in it. Life in the order will naturally provide a certain driving force for the order itself. And now, the backlash of the script has also gained a sharer, and all items that may hurt innocent people will be resisted by innocent forces on their own, and only items that directly target the offenders themselves will survive under the control of the protective order.
The Great Lord didn't care about it, because it still didn't violate the order set by the Great Lord. If you say anything is possible, you can do it. This is the way to deal with the Great Lord, and it has a considerable success rate.
So the problem was solved.
Jiang Yu's own question, the question asked by Zhan Lan. He no longer needed to choose between the two options, because the time that had become urgent became abundant again.
The first person he was going to see was——
........................
"Mou Gang." The honest truck driver wiped his oily hands. He had just repaired the tools he relied on for a living. He parked the truck on the side of the road and checked the truck, which had a flat tire due to running over a sharp object and almost rushed down the mountain road. When he successfully survived this crisis, it was just a few seconds after Jiang Yu organized the protection order.
Order protected him because he lived in order.
He lived in accordance with the consensus of society, paid taxes, and obeyed the laws of the country. As such, he should be protected, so even though he was not yet awake, he still reacted immediately when the tire burst, and through a series of delicate and quick operations of an experienced driver, he successfully parked his car and avoided the secondary impact that might be caused by the following vehicles.
"I think we've met somewhere before."
He smiled gently and held out his hand to Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu and Xia drove a tow truck over when he finished repairing the car. Even though they looked so young that they were unlikely to be tow truck drivers, Mou Gang still felt a sense of nostalgia and familiarity when he saw them.
He is not Chu Xuan, nor Zheng Zha. He will not be awakened the moment he sees Jiang Yu.
He is not Zhan Lan, who can solve all subsequent problems by himself with just a small opportunity.
He was just Mou Gang, and he just felt familiar with Jiang Yu - he didn't even think that it was impolite to extend his dirty hands to a friend after simply wiping them with engine oil. Only comrades or blood relatives who truly shared the same hardships and lived and died together would ignore this hygiene issue. He didn't fully understand his own fate.
"We have indeed met in the past, a long time ago." Jiang Yu firmly held the oil-stained hand, and then gave Mou Gang a hug. Mou Gang did not even react at first, and after two seconds, he realized that Jiang Yu's casual clothes were about to be completely stained by him.
He waved his arms awkwardly and stepped back. But he was surprised to find that Jiang Yu's clothes were not dirty at all. At this moment, he finally realized something. After all, he did not regard himself as an ordinary person, so he had to spend a lot of time explaining it.
"You're not an ordinary person, are you?" he asked.
"I am. I have to be." Jiang Yu shook his head. "But you are not. You have an important mission."
"What mission?"
"Live on in the malice of the world."
"...That is truly a great mission that cannot be shirked. It seems I cannot refuse it."
"You can also call your wife and daughter and take care of some of the funeral affairs in advance to avoid any trouble later."
The two looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
"That's not my daughter, and she doesn't want to call me dad." A relieved smile appeared on the corner of Mou Gang's mouth, and he took out a signed and stamped certificate from his shirt pocket. "My wife is now my ex-wife, and she has taken everything she could from me. There is no relationship between her and me anymore."
"Should I say congratulations?" Jiang Yu smiled. "Do you plan to chase a celebrity? I guess the other person might pay for you."
Mou Gang entered the reincarnation world because of despair, and his despair was because of his family.
Mou Gang also had a god-creator, and his creation had a celebrity face, but he had no connection with Jiang Yu.
"I actually made a new online friend, but she just looks like a celebrity and usually just stays at home."
"What a coincidence."
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
"…Have you ever thought about saving the world? The world in a broad sense." Jiang Yu paused.
"Can you bring your family with you?" Mou Gang spread his hands. "To be honest, I kind of want to be lazy. It's like I was born to be a jerk. But..."
"I think it's not bad to be with you."
"I wouldn't say 'until death'." Jiang Yu responded.
So it was done.
My hand is twisted, it hurts, and it's my left hand... My right hand is broken, but my left hand can still hold on, so it hurts_(:з」∠)_
