Volume 3 The Storm of the Two Capitals Chapter 84 The Mystery of Time and Space
"Do you really think that the space you are in now is your original universe?"
"What did you say?" Nan Ying only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost said in a moaning tone: "I don't understand! ”
"You really don't understand, I'll start from the beginning, starting with the rise of science and technology in our Nanhua people." The voice of the light and shadow slowed down, and it seemed that even he was immersed in a long, distant memory.
"In the distant past, we Nanhua people still existed in life forms similar to those of you earthlings, but at that time, our civilization had surpassed that of the Earth era you were in countless times!"
"That's when we discovered a wormhole that could travel through time, so we created a time machine, and set the place where the time travel began as the 'origin', and from then on, we began the experiment of time travel!"
"In the first two experiments, we chose the past and the future, because the place of advent is within a certain range of the origin of the South China Star Crossing Point, and the results of the observations are almost the same as our calculations, so we always think that the time travel experiment has been successful, but we are wrong!" The light and shadow paused for a moment before continuing, "During this third test, due to a fortuitous mistake, we discovered a terrifying truth......"
"The time of the time travel was mistakenly set for the second day, but when the tester arrived, there was a dead silence as far as the eye could see......
"What do you mean by dead silence?" Nan Ying couldn't help but interrupt: "Since the advent point can only be in this star, and traveling through time is the second day of reality, you should see a large number of people of the same kind and your own city!" ”
"No life, no city!" Although the simulated sound of light and shadow was still emotionless, Nan Ying and Zhang Jiao shook at the same time, and they both felt the heaviness of the Nanhua star.
"Nothing, but through data sampling and atmospheric analysis, everything proves that this is indeed the South China Star ......"
"All indications are that Nanhua Star has been completely destroyed by some unknown force in one day! The shock of the experimenters was understandable, and they immediately returned to their point of origin and informed the higher-ups of the impending apocalypse! ”
"In the midst of chaos and panic, all the South China Star people had the darkest day of their lives! However, the next day, nothing happened, and the destruction that had been learned through the crossing did not come! ”
"Why is that?" Nanying was already dumbfounded: "Could it be that there are still two Nanhua stars?" ”
"No, you're wrong!" The light and shadow said: "There are not two, but there are countless Nanhua stars, countless universes. Of course, there are also countless Earths! ”
"Countless of them!" Nanying shouted: "I understand what you mean, you mean that the earth where I am now is no longer in the universe where I was originally located!" ”
"Yes, we have just discovered that we have not only traveled through time, but also arrived at a dimensional space that we have never traveled to before, that is, another universe that exists at the same time!"
"No, it can't be!" Nan Ying slowly squatted down, held his head in his hands and said, "I didn't travel through time, but came to the earth in another universe?" ”
"There's no doubt about that!" The light and shadow said: "After that accident, we used the time of 50 million earth years to start the exploration of unknown space!" Every time we arrive in an unknown universe, we not only record the space coordinates in detail, but also send interstellar spaceships into the vast space of the universe to continue to explore deeply. To this end, we have at least 1.4 million access coordinates for different universes! ”
"Can you elaborate on that?" Nan Ying took a deep breath and said with a pale face: "This is beyond my understanding!" ”
The light and shadow raised their hands, and the stars disappeared without a trace, and in their place, a circular circle of light shone in the endless darkness.
"Let's assume that this aperture is a wormhole connecting different universes!" The light and shadow raised his hand again, and countless rays of light suddenly extended out with the center of the aperture, like a golden crow in the sky, sprinkling ten thousand rays of light: "Then, these rays are countless universes, or passages connecting wormholes and different universes, so it can be seen that these universes are not integrated with each other and do not interfere with each other except for connecting wormholes together. ”
"I reluctantly accept this theory first!" Nan Ying muttered, "Since there are countless universes, how could I come to this universe alone? I believe there must be a basis for this! ”
"It's simple!" The light and shadow said: "Because you have already chosen an earth era when you traveled, and this universe is happening, and the best teleportation target closest to your choice!" ”
"What do you mean by what's happening?" Nan Ying was stunned and said, "You mean that everything here is a work in progress, not the past or the future?" ”
"Looks like you still haven't heard me clearly!" The light and shadow said: "Without the past and the future, all the changes that are taking place in the universe cannot be changed by traveling through time!" ”
"For example, by reading your mind, I know that you are from the NHVA region 1008 universe Earth time 21:14:5......5 A.D. 21:14:55 A.D.
"Then, if you want to return to this universe, I can only send you back to the next second of this time, and I can't send you back to the past or future of this universe! Do you understand? ”
"I don't understand!" Nan Ying was shocked and said, "You are saying that the period I am in now is the era that the earth in a certain universe is going through? Is that so? ”
"Yes!" The light and shadow said: "There are countless universes, countless periods, and countless possibilities, just as Nanhua Star has died out in a certain possibility!" ”
This model is actually quite easy to understand...... It is like one of the forms of entertainment that arose in the early days of your Earth: computer games. ”
"Computer games?" Nan Ying's face changed drastically, and he punched him the forehead: "Is this the evolution of countless times to store game progress?" And I, just inadvertently entered one of the progressions! ”
"You finally get it!" The light and shadow nodded: "I believe you should have felt that the earth you are currently on seems to be no different from the earth at the origin point, but after careful investigation, haven't you found any subtle suspicions, or make you feel an incredible existence?" ”
"Really!" Nan Ying trembled, and he suddenly remembered the black tiger, the golden eagle, the unheard of demon beasts, and the mysterious place in the Taihang Mountain......
"If that's the case, then it raises a terrible question!" The light and shadow said calmly: "Who is behind all this?" With our strong level of science and technology, we still can't believe the so-called one-thought universe, let alone create such a myriad of different universes? Therefore, we can only keep shuttling and searching, hoping to find this answer one day! ”
"So, I can't change history and save that person, right?" Nan Ying said bitterly, his heart was full of despair, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Since there are countless universes and countless earths, then I arbitrarily choose an era that is close to the origin, isn't it the same as the one who I want to save?" ”
“…… Unfortunately, because it is an era close to the origin, there must be another you, and two identical substances cannot coexist in one universe, otherwise the worm path will be distorted at least and the universe will collapse at worst. ”
"That's too contradictory!" Nan Ying raised his eyebrows: "Then you Nanhua people have traveled through countless time and space, how can you be free of danger and danger?" ”
"I have already said that two identical substances cannot coexist in one universe......" The light and shadow pointed to himself: "Do you think that my current form can still be considered matter?" ”
"In the course of hundreds of millions of years of exploration, we have almost caused the collapse of space several times, which is enough to make us fall into deep thinking about how to evolve, and at the same time, in the long and almost infinite exploration of time and space, we have become so small and short-lived in what we thought was a long life......
"Therefore, we have finally figured out the technology of condensing spiritual power, completely transformed ourselves into spiritual lifeforms, and are no longer limited by matter and time, and have become eternal existences since then, because relatively speaking, the spirit is never extinguished!" The light and shadow said: "In your earth, this similar method is called the original god out of body!" ”
Zhang Jiao, who had been silent, suddenly had a bright light in his eyes.
"It seems that you also understand!" The light and shadow said: "Powerful as us, in the face of the vast universe and endless space, we also feel powerless, not to mention that there are only a very small number of Nanhua Star people who can transform into spiritual lifeforms, we urgently need: companions!" ”
"In countless universes, any planet with intelligent life, we will leave a probe, looking forward to the appearance of a life that may become a companion, if we directly discover the existence of a naturally strong spiritual power, we will not only teach him the condensation technique of spiritual power, but also slightly violate the rules we set 'not to interfere in any planetary affairs', for example, transform a group of strong people to protect this future spiritual lifeform!"
Zhang Jiao's lips moved slightly, and finally he didn't make a sound, but Nan Ying sneered: "These are those divine envoy guardians, right?" Since Zhang Jiao is about to become your companion, why are you still sending those reformers to kill him, and what is the point of this life and death trial? ”
"In many universes, we are silently paying attention to the earth, not only because the brain structure of the earthlings is similar to ours, and it is easier to cultivate spiritual techniques. Moreover, what has always puzzled us is the extremely unstable emotions and complex and diverse feelings of people on earth. ”
"We conclude that the very existence of earthlings is a cosmic contradiction, and that we are incomprehensible to your cruelty and tyranny, but also kind and simple, cunning and changeable, yet loyal and upright. We can easily modify their bodies and read their minds more easily, but we don't understand what the difference is! Therefore, the so-called trial of life and death is not aimed at Zhang Jiao, but at those guardians! ”
Sure enough, as we predicted, some of them immediately chose to betray in the face of temptation, while many more remained unchanged! Only with such people can we rest assured that they will continue to exist and achieve our goal of maintaining the stability of the origin! ”
"It turns out that you just want to distinguish those who have different ambitions and eliminate them!" Nan Ying couldn't help but be a little angry, he raised his voice and said, "Then why do you want to borrow our hands to clear it?" Aren't you afraid that we will die at their hands? ”
"Dead?" The light and shadow seemed to froze for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think you will die under our protection?" Even if you are dead, we can resurrect you immediately! Of course, if we die of old age, there is nothing we can do! ”
"This!" Nanying couldn't help but open his mouth, and a stream of evil fire was hard in his heart, but he was speechless in his mouth.
"As a special race that shuttles through endless space, we also have our own rules, so we have always tried to avoid affecting other life groups! Of course, there are some other exceptions! For example, this time, we felt Zhang Jiao's intentions and deliberately changed the shape of the spaceship to help you win a war! ”
"I'm sure I've answered most of your questions!" The light and shadow said: "Zhang Jiao, you have preliminarily reached the conditions of a spiritual life body, are you willing to join us?" ”
"I do!" An indescribable look of excitement flashed in Zhang Jiao's eyes, he now understood that he would be a companion of the Nanhua Star people, and he could no longer give a big gift, but he was deeply indebted.
"What about you?" The light and shadow asked Nanying: "Time and space traveler, you have not only been in contact with our Nanhua Star exploration spaceship hundreds of millions of years ago, in your words, you are related to us, but also have a strong spiritual foundation, if you want, we can help you become one of us at any time!" ”
"Thanks! But I still refuse! Nan Ying thought that his dream of returning to the future was completely shattered, and he couldn't help but feel excited: "I am just an ordinary person, and I don't have the great desire to explore the supreme mysteries of the universe!" ”
"Are you disappointed that you can't save that man?"
"I'm a little disappointed, but when I know that the man still exists in countless universes, I'm relieved, at least he still exists in this form, and for me, the news is enough!" Nanying said calmly: "The reason why I refuse is because I still have a nostalgia for the existence of the body, because this is my last symbol as an earthling. At least for now, I am not mentally prepared to become a spiritual being! ”
"I see!" The light and shadow waved his hand, and a strange text suddenly appeared in Nan Ying's mind, and it was deeply rooted in his mind.
"You just need time!" The light and shadow said: "And you still have a lot of time!" When you succeed in cultivating in the future, you can naturally convey your new wishes to us through your spiritual power, and we look forward to that day! ”
"Looks like it's time to say goodbye!" Nan Ying's heart was inexplicably relaxed, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "By the way, why hasn't this woman on the ground woken up yet?" Isn't there an accident? ”
"She's just like you, she's been physically repaired and transformed, and of course there will be no accidents! It's just that our conversation wasn't suitable for her to sit in, so she had to sleep a little longer! ”
"I remember!" Nan Ying's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "You said that the medicine in my hand is only a defective product, so can you give me some of the latest products?" Or, help me improve the defective product, if you use your potion and kill people, it's always not good! ”
“…… As you wish! Earthlings are strange creatures who can be indifferent to eternal life, but they have a soft spot for these gadgets......"
Nan Ying didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around, and said softly to Zhang Jiao, who had complicated eyes: "Brother Jiao, it seems that you and I have also reached the time of separation, what is the matter of entrustment you mentioned before?" ”
