[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the legendary talent "Death Replay"! Please note, this talent involves the laws of time, space, and causality, and can only be used once a month. Please use it wisely to foresee specific causes of death and avoid tragic futures.]
"Is this talent an active talent? Is it considered a skill? Can it only be used once a month? I thought it had no usage limit, and this talent actually involves time, space, and causality. Is this talent really that terrifying?"
Chu Chen pondered. He was not unfamiliar with this skill. It wasn't that he had it before, but that in his previous life, he had played a game called "Plane World," which had a death replay function.
The death replay function in this game allowed players to see what happened within ten seconds, letting them see clearly which enemy, in what way, and where they were killed.
The talent given by the system now was very similar to the death replay function in that game. The function, judging by the text alone, was almost the same, with the only difference being that one could see for an hour while the other could only see for ten seconds.
"Perhaps the current world is just a piece of network data? Or is causality the connection of big data? And the system is at a higher dimension, like a programmer relative to the player's world, to be able to do such a thing?"
"If that's the case, then can the system's life simulation function be understood as particle computation similar to a supercomputer? A Laplace's demon within a defined range? Or am I living in a Truman Show-like world?"
Chu Chen couldn't help but wonder about the system's power.
But no matter how he guessed, with his current strength, he could only speculate and not actually investigate what the system was, where it came from, or why it was helping him.
"Forget it. When I have more strength in the future, I will naturally be able to see some clues about the system. I just hope this thing doesn't have intelligence, a backdoor, or an extraordinary price. Otherwise, if the system ever wants to do something to me, I won't have any power to resist."
Chu Chen sighed. Investigating the origin of the system was too far-fetched for him. Currently, he was relying on the system just to survive in this ridiculous world.
The world of the Qingzhou Continent was too dangerous. On the surface, it didn't seem like much, and there didn't seem to be many beings that could threaten him. However, the hidden depths of the water seemed very deep, making it difficult for Chu Chen to grasp.
"Let me try this legendary talent. I want to see why I died at the age of 27 in the 46th year of the simulation. If I have a way to find out now, but don't, I'll be restless!"
A cold glint flashed in Chu Chen's eyes as he continued to think, "If it's really the Empress who made a move against me, then don't blame me for relying on the system to ambush and kill my future mother-in-law first!"
With that, Chu Chen stopped thinking and directly activated the legendary talent "Death Replay."
Instantly, a slightly hazy and ethereal feeling surged from his mind.
When Chu Chen regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the room had changed beyond recognition, adorned with festive decorations everywhere.
A large "囍" (double happiness) character hung on the wall, connected by red ribbons, and the head of the bed was now covered with a red mosquito net.
"What's going on? Have I transmigrated again?"
Chu Chen was slightly flustered, but the next moment he calmed down. Just as he was about to walk to the mirror to check if his appearance was the same as before, he found that he couldn't control this body at all.
"Can't move? Can't command my body?"
"System!"
Sensing something was wrong, Chu Chen quickly called out to the system in his mind. However, the system, which usually responded immediately, was now silent, with no reaction at all.
"The system isn't responding? It's not replying?"
Chu Chen was greatly alarmed, but he couldn't control his body. He had to calm down and start thinking.
"Did I end up like this after using that legendary talent, 'Death Replay'? Could it be that I'm in the scene of the talent's effect? But didn't the talent say it's from a third-person perspective? Whose third-person perspective can't move?"
"But if I'm not within the talent's effect, then why am I here and unable to move? And why is the system not responding when I call it?"
Chu Chen had never encountered such a situation and had many thoughts at once.
Just then, someone outside the door suddenly shouted, "Prime Minister! The wedding procession is ready! The imperial female officials and eunuchs have arrived."
"Wedding procession? And calling me Prime Minister? Am I still me?"
Chu Chen was slightly stunned, his mind rapidly processing the information from the sentence.
Just as Chu Chen was about to speak, he heard his own voice, "This Prime Minister knows. I will come out now."
With that, his arm seemed to pat his chest, fumbling outside his clothes, as if checking something.
Although he couldn't control his body, his senses could still transmit information to him. Chu Chen felt from his palm a hard yet soft, gauze-like texture beneath the wedding robe.
"This feeling, it's an inner armor!"
Chu Chen instantly understood what he had touched. Only inner armor had both hardness and softness, with a gauze-like feel.
This was because inner armor was made of special steel threads, very thin and soft. And the inner armor worn by more advanced martial artists was woven from Starfall Iron, golden silkworm silk, and soaked in medicinal water.
"This voice is my voice, and the length and width of my arm feel the same as before. So, this body is also my body? It even has its own consciousness?"
"No, no, no. It should be that my consciousness is hidden within the body of my future self, viewing the future events from this face-to-face third-person perspective."
"So that's it. This is Death Replay?"
Chu Chen seemed to understand something and felt relieved.
As long as he hadn't transmigrated again, it was fine. Although the Qingzhou Continent was a bit dangerous, he had finally managed to get things going. If he had to transmigrate again, he might have to start all over from scratch.
As he was thinking, Chu Chen's body suddenly moved, opened the door, and walked out.
Outside the door, servants were all dressed festively. Several beautiful maids guarding the entrance quickly stepped forward to check if the attire of this body was correct.
Then, Chu Chen felt his body walk step by step outside the mansion, had a red embroidered ball tied to his chest, and then mounted a tall white horse. Behind him followed a wedding procession, a suona band, and a sedan chair.
Following the joyous sounds of the suona and gongs, they slowly advanced towards the imperial city.
"Is this the grand wedding of the 46th year in this life simulation?"
