Chapter 527 – Butterfly Effect Probability Law
'Again?'
Miaomiao had a déjà vu. He experienced a living dream, the same way he experienced the life of Cernun.
But this time, Miaomiao experienced someone else's life.
He found himself on Earth, the modern world where he was born.
'Ah, shit. Here we go again.'
Miaomiao inwardly sighed as he let the long realistic movie of an unknown person's life proceed forward in a real time speed. It was slow and boring as usual.
Still, it didn't take long before he discovered who the host was.
"Good morning, my little kitten. Are you meowing like a cat again today?"
"NYA!! MUNYA!!"
The owner of the body, the baby, opened his eyes to look at his mother. The baby laughed and reached his hands to her while he was meowing like a catopus.
Although the host was happy, Miaomiao was speechless.
He found himself in HIS BODY when he was still an infant. He recognized his mother's face!
The culprit who had branded him with this silly name was her!
'Mom?'
Although Miaomiao was shocked and angry, he didn't try to curse her for what she had done. On the other hand, his soul was dying from heart pain.
He missed her. He always wanted to see her face, but he couldn't remember.
Now, he finally got to see his real mother's face after a million years.
The despair and the confusion disappeared from his mind. Miaomiao simply observed the life of himself through the infant's eyes.
Miaomiao's mother gave him a little brother six years later. The family lived a quiet peaceful life.
But once Miaomiao started entering grade school, his personality started to become aggressive.
He was bullied at school because of his cute name. Moreover, Miaomiao had a habit of meowing when he was surprised, which made the bullying worse.
Yet, Miaomiao's mentality was always strong. He fought back against the bullies and always came home with bruises and small wounds.
The more he fought back, the more trouble he ran into. The bullies began to call their seniors for help, and they brought older children to gang on Miaomiao.
During grade school, Miaomiao fought with no rules. He bit, scratched, punched, kicked, or even used pencils as weapons. His parents were called to the school office so many times as the bullies were injured from Miaomiao's ferocious retaliation.
The fight soon escalated. The seniors started using weapons, and Miaomiao ended up gauging an eye of an assailant.
Miaomiao's mother had enough. She withdrew Miaomiao from the sickening grade school. She took the role of his only teacher and let Miaomiao attend a home school ever since.
...
The soul of Miaomiao inside the host body observed the past events. He felt nostalgic, and he was grateful to his mother, who was always on his side.
Miaomiao in the host's body sighed. He knew what would happen after this, and he didn't want to see it again.
...
Years later, the happy days were abruptly ended. Miaomiao's father and mother had a car accident – A truck ran them over.
During that time, Miaomiao was only 16 and his little brother was 10.
After losing their parents, their house was seized by a bank, which Miaomiao's father had loaned some money from.
Miaomiao started working to support his younger brother. He did everything, including begging, stealing, shoplifting, or scavenging for food in trash cans to survive! He even cooked street rats to eat while he gave proper food to his little brother.
A year later, police officers found them and took his little brother to an orphanage. The brother was soon adopted. As for Miaomiao, he remained a homeless until he was 18 when a Muay-Thai Gym owner took him in.
Miaomiao was adopted, but he was forced to work there to earn his keep. The owner also encouraged Miaomiao to train there as well.
Because of the environment and Miaomiao's nature, he started dipping his hands into martial arts that day.
Twenty years passed in a flash. Miaomiao became a successful MMA champion but with several blemishes and controversial incidents. He was known as a serial killer champion.
Because of his fame, his younger brother, whom Miaomiao hadn't seen for all these years, finally found him. However, the brother already had a wife, but they were broke.
At that time, Miaomiao was already a successful man. He took them in since the brother was his last family member.
As if the brother brought in misfortune, when Miaomiao came out for the morning jogging, a drunk driver, who had been drinking all night, ran him over with his truck.
Miaomiao still remembered the obnoxious song that the truck's radio played.
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy.
But here's my bumper, so Isekai you maybe.
Unfortunately for him, Miaomiao survived. The truck driver was found to be one of his victims, and he was arrested.
Miaomiao became a cripple since that accident. He became a shut-in while his brother took care of the former.
Until the day that Miaomiao found that QUESTIONAIRE…
…
Miaomiao lost count of how many times he sighed after watching his old life flashing through his eyes.
'Is it over? Do I have to go through the transmigration experience until I reach the present?'
Unfortunately, Miaomiao's luck didn't work here. He found himself on a grassland, where he first arrived at the Golden Heavenly Goose Planet.
Once more, the past experience of himself continued to torture him.
Miaomiao continued watching the silly early days of himself. He watched how the host failed to notice the Wei insignia on the treasure sword and ran into Wei Huang.
Thinking back, Wei Huang was benevolent. Not only he didn't kill Miaomiao, but he also gave him pocket money.
Then, the host went to a bar, got into a fight, encountered Luo Cheng, and got into a brothel. He watched how his new body popped his cherry with Jiang Lan.
Miaomiao facepalmed. He was a horn dog back then, and he was ashamed of himself.
When Xu Xiuying coaxed the body to be her son, Miaomiao thought back about the past.
What would have happened if he were to reject her offer?
She might have killed him if he were to refuse, but there was a possibility of avoiding Xie Tian or changing the future.
Miaomiao was tired of observing his past at this point. He wanted it to stop, but he couldn't do anything against the flow.
Suddenly, Xu Xiuying pressed her finger at his forehead and transferred her knowledge to him.
'Huh?'
Something was wrong. The event was different from what he had gone through.
Miaomiao clearly remembered that Xu Xiuying changed his name to Xu Miao. She might have indeed injected her Qi into his body, but that was to transform him.
However, Xu Xiuying in this world didn't do the same. She taught the other Miaomiao directly instead of sending him to the sect library.
Moreover, she didn't change his name!
'What the hell is going on?!'
'Timeline, master.'
'!?'
Miaomiao suddenly heard the middle-aged Xie Tian's voice, but he couldn't sense the latter's presence anywhere.
'This world, this place, is one of the destroyed timelines. We are looking at the Cosmo Record of Multiverse.'
'What the heck is that?'
'You will understand everything once you put all seven pieces of murals together. But for now, you should focus on learning the other timeline's events.'
'…'
Previously when Miaomiao went through Cernun's memory, the events weren't related to him, so he didn't pay attention.
But now, it dawned on him.
Time and Space Power
Time Traveling
Timelines
Miaomiao's Counterpart
Middle-Aged Xie Tian's Origins
These topics piqued Miaomiao's interest. He wondered what he would learn from observing this timeline's events.
The events proceeded forward. Everything was almost the same as Miaomiao had gone through, but Xu Xiuying sincerely trained this timeline's Miaomiao and Xiong Zhenzhen as her core disciples.
'Why is this timeline so different?' Miaomiao didn't understand why it deviated from what he had remembered.
'Butterfly Effect Probability Law.'
'What is that?'
'When a Chrono Element cultivator manages to master the Time-and-Space Dao, they will be able to create parallel universes by using their memory and karma records as the base. Everything in the parallel universes has the same starting line, but not every being in there moves exactly the same as other timelines.'
'Not all parallel universes are the same?'
'There is a very high chance that an error can occur in the Cosmo Record and cause a small variation in every newly created alternate universe. An error is always insignificant at glance, such as a slight change in an object's shape, a shift in a pebble's position, or a shortened lifespan of a bacteria. But as time passes, the insignificant variations can influence the future fate of things in the surroundings. For example, a change in the position of a rock in a forest can either kill the chance for a small grass to grow or give an opportunity to another plant that doesn't exist in other universes to grow. Once the flow of destiny and karma changes, it generates a snowball effect on the environment and surroundings. After a million years, that small butterfly effect can potentially influence the entire planet and deviate all personalities of every being, making it different from other parallel universes. Then, that timeline will move eventually away from other parallel universes, evolving into a singularity timeline that can no longer be accessed by time-and-space cultivators from other timelines. We call this Butterfly Effect Probability Law.'
'…'
'Fortunately, your timeline and mine are not that completely different. There are changes here and there, but several results are the same. Our karma is still intertwined. That's why I can still access your timeline.'
Even though Miaomiao was possessing someone else's body and experiencing the latter's life, he had a headache. He felt like his brain was overheated from the excessive and complexity of the information.
Xie Tian concluded, 'This universe has the same starting line as the one in your timeline. However, both have a different variation from master's universe.'
Miaomiao continued to observe the interaction between his counterpart and Xiong Zhenzhen when they were in the Poseidon Brothel building.
...
Everything started to deviate from what Miaomiao had experienced. Xu Xiuying didn't randomly assign her disciples to dual-cultivate with him. Instead, she encouraged Xiong Zhenzhen to treat Miaomiao as her fiancé.
Miaomiao in this world was different as well. He and Zhen Liqin never had sex, and Jiang Lan officially married him as his first concubine while Xiong Zhenzhen would be his main wife.
The incident involving Xie Tian changed as well. Xie Tian and Wei Feng never had a feud since Jiang Lan and Wei Feng were never related. As a result, Xie Tian and Miaomiao confronted each other in front of the brothel when the protagonist came for his sweetheart.
Both men dueled, and Miaomiao lost fair and square. But the strange part was, there was no enmity or feud between the two as Miaomiao tried his best not to provoke Xie Tian.
This counterpart knew that Xie Tian was a protagonist. He reacted the same way as Miaomiao, but he seemed to have another idea.
Meanwhile, Xie Tian wasn't as ruthless or decisive as the other counterpart. He spared Miaomiao's life.
Xie Tian demanded to see Jiang Lan after his victory, and they got to meet. Jiang Lan confessed to the protagonist that she already married Miaomiao.
Xie Tian was not angry. Instead, he wished for Jiang Lan's happiness and blessed her.
Miaomiao apologized to Xie Tian by giving him a sky-grade artifact, which Xu Xiuying had given him, and both men reconciled.
However, Miaomiao's counterpart had a certain tutorial quest that he needed to complete.
