"Is it possible, you ......" Roland said with a wink.

"That's right. It seemed to rest on a thousand pounds of burden, and the corners of its eyebrows rose a little, "But you and I must say that time is a very terrible thing, and you will stay in this little cradle for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, and ten million years, maybe at first you will feel that you have a lot to explore, but in fact the period of emptiness will come faster than you think." But even tens of millions of years are just a snap of the fingers compared to the universe. ”

The guardian paused slightly, "Sometimes...... I think time is magical. You feel it flowing and you are transformed by it. If you want to sustain yourself for such a long time, you have to let go of most of your emotions, otherwise that nothingness will sooner or later break you completely. Of course, it's too late for you to regret it now. ”

Roland looked at the other in amazement, he saw a smile on his face for the first time.

"Are you saying that I'm going to end up being like a machine?" and then he grinned slightly, "Don't worry, I'm not going to stay here forever, I'm going to take a step before I'm completely numb, but that's not a breach of the promise, I'll choose the right life to take over this responsibility for me." Maybe we'll meet again on the other side of the universe in the future. ”

The guardian said disapprerovingly, "Let's wait until you can last until then." ”

"By the way, since you are the core of the cradle, can you still leave alone?" Roland suddenly thought of a key question, "Won't the world fall apart as soon as you leave?"

"So you didn't even understand this basic thing, and you boasted in front of me?" it glared back in disbelief, "First of all, a qualified system should have multiple backups, let alone a creation like me that collects the essence of thousands of civilizations. ”

"Second, the cradle's memories are indeed large and not suitable for movement, but they record data from the time the gate project was executed, including the characteristics of the seeds that sifted through life and the evolutionary process. I don't need to leave with memories, just keep the part of me that I was born to this day. ”

"Finally, once you're connected to the knowledge base, you'll naturally understand how the cradle works, and as long as it doesn't mess around, it can run for tens of thousands of years on its own. But if you want it to last, you have to take good care of it, after all, the cradle is not easy to damage, and the life inside is not necessarily. ”

"Then I'm relieved. Roland exhaled slowly, and his body finally relaxed.

Obviously, it didn't take long for the other party's expression to change significantly, not only did he put his unangry attitude directly on his face, but even his tone was much more arrogant, which made it more like life.

"While I'm still here, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask. The guardian said with his hands on his chest.

"Uh...... So fast?"

"Don't you realize that the depletion of consciousness is a great burden on you?" it shrugged, "If you want to make sure that you are still complete after the consciousness merges, it is better to start this step early. ”

Roland couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, it seemed that the abnormally reduced red number above his head was really related to the dream world. He pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Have you heard...... Is this part of the earth?"

This time, he was in his original language.

The guardian closed his eyes for a moment, as if searching for relevant information, "Hmm...... There are a total of 3,251 results for similar-sounding planets, but given the nature of the species, you should be asking about a solid planet located at the outer edge of the Milky Way Three cantilever arm. ”

"How is it now?" Roland asked quickly.

"Now, of course, it dies with the opening of the rift. At one point, they were recorded as expanding into the center of the galaxy, and the memory bank also contained biological information about the species. At this point, it was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Roland in surprise, "Wait, that was more than 94 million years ago, if you were born in the cradle, how could you know about this planet?"

"Actually, that's what has always bothered me......" he smiling, settling a wry account of his origins.

"There is such a thing," the guardian said, "Isn't it true that the parcel time flow is not exactly the same......

"What...... Time Stream?"

"That's right. "You've probably heard of the hypothetical parallel universe where a divergence of influence arises that leads the world in two directions. The rate of change of each of these two worlds is called wrapping time, and what you can feel is observation time. However, since the observer who raises this point is always in one of these worlds, the hypothesis remains only on paper. ”

"So you mean," Roland said, with a look on his face.

"Yes, the powerful energy generated by the Gate Project may be the reason for you to come here, as if the parallel membranes briefly overlapped under the impact, and this divergence made our universe into two parts, one filled with magic, and the other was the failure of the Gate Project, and the universe remained as it was. But because of the difference in the flow of time, it may seem like you've spanned tens of millions of years, but in fact the two are happening at the same time. ”

"Uh...... It's a little hard to understand," Roland rubbed his head, "but is this a proof that there is some kind of connection between parallel universes?"

"You can think of it that way, after all, this is a field that even the founders have not touched. The Guardian also seems to be interested in this topic, "Theoretically, parallel universes and the multiverse are two concepts that can coexist, but in practice the former is more difficult to test than the latter. But now that you're here, maybe it's a way to break the universe and move towards death. It's just that for me, this question is no longer important, so I'll leave it to you to explore and research yourself. ”

With a wave of its hand, it turned and walked towards the end of the white platform, where a small door appeared, and on the other side of the door was a patch of scarlet.

Then a number of figures appeared in front of Roland.

They have a variety of strange appearances, including humans and demons. The translucent figures hurried towards the guardian, merging with it.

And in the human figure, he saw Arashi, Epsilon, and those oracles who had a relationship with each other

Epsilon waved goodbye to him, her expression very cheerful, and it was clear that she had got the answer she wanted.

Arashi stayed in front of him for a few seconds, her lips slightly open and closed.

Judging by the shape of the lips, that's a thank you.

When all the figures of the guardian overlapped and walked out of the small red door, the pure white space suddenly collapsed into countless fragments, and Roland's body disintegrated together, but he did not feel any pain or abnormality, only felt extremely relaxed, as if he had removed a heavy body. A large amount of information poured into his mind like a wave, and he seemed to have countless pairs of eyes, whether it was the empty universe outside the barrier or the vibrant world inside the barrier, they were all presented in his consciousness at the same time.

He became the cradle.
