Historical inertia is Fang Yuan's name for how accumulated conflicts still produce great events even when rebirth changes the original trigger.
By the third use of Spring Autumn Cicada, Fang Yuan has a deeper understanding of rebirth. There is a butterfly effect in the aftermath that can cause some things to change completely. Even without the original trigger, a new one would always appear. That is not something a person alone can influence and change easily. ch. 404
Repeated historical outcome
The flow of history has inertia as well as changes. With Fang Yuan’s personal experience, the butterfly effect theorized on Earth is slightly off. In the previous life, Ma Hong Yun was given a surname and allowed to cultivate because he obtained a relic Gu and gave it to Ma Ying Jie. This time it is Hei Lou Lan’s pressure that forces Ma Ying Jie into that decision, and a new Ma Hong Yun is still born. The process is different, but the result is the same. ch. 546
