Time passes slowly and painfully inadvertently, and then it comes to "today". On the far side of the Moon relative to the Earth, where 7.2 billion people cannot see a place, a pink aperture gradually expands until it has a diameter of about 10,000 meters. Then, a giant Chimera spacecraft with a black background and gold edges, and a hideous face covered with cannon barrels, slowly drove out, accompanied by eight blue starfish ships that were "only" fifty meters in diameter.

"It's delicious, I'm coming!" said Xiaohua cheered on the bridge, and the reserve food also screamed excitedly. Zhao Mai held his forehead and sighed, he was still sitting on the golden throne, with wires attached to his body, but with a smile on his face. "You're just in time and you're jumping to the present in the blink of an eye. I've been hungry for ninety years!"

"I can be hungry for you!, my natural force is finally connected to you!" Xiaohua said with a grin.

"All you can do is stop playing and go to the back and tell everyone that someone is coming. Xiaohua nodded, and rode out of the reserve grain. With a wave of his hand, the Chimera ship lowered the psychic barrier to allow the teleportation spell to pass through. A sword light pierced the void and tore open the spatial passage, and then the old man jumped out of it with a "hey" and looked at Zhao Mai with a smile.

"Everything is fine with their bodies and lives, rest assured. I asked the relevant ministries to write to your parents that you were carrying out important tasks for the country overseas, and that they could rest assured. Although you are in a remote and backward area, you are backed by the state, and your life and security are guaranteed. The old man didn't even say hello, and came up and said what Zhao Mai was most concerned about.

"Uh, how do I feel like I'm teaching in some primitive tribe in Africa?"

"The ministries are really deliberately creating this feeling. The old man nodded: "The money your parents sent you is all in a special account, and not a penny is missing." Interestingly, they think it's normal that you don't have money to spend over there, and sending you money can be a lot more reassuring. ”

"Thank you. Zhao Mai sat on the golden throne, leaned forward, and pulled the wires behind him. "Now that the good things are done, it's time to say something nasty. Why is it taking so long to open the space?"

"It took me a long time to figure out what was going on, and it took a lot of time to convince the other detachments and make a deal. Of course, the most important reason is that I promised you that your parents and family would be safe and that everything would not be affected, which would require many adjustments to fate and events. Especially if you're the only one, the operations involved are more complex. My ability is limited, so I can only open the passage for you to come back this year, and I can't advance it any further. ”

"I accept this explanation, and it makes sense. Zhao Mai sat up straight, and then asked, "When you sent me away, did you know what I was going to go through?" ”

"I don't know, I didn't know at all. The old man stroked his beard, conjured a chair for himself to sit on, and said, "You left to go back in time for the Global Oblivion Curse." None of this history of the other Earth existed until you went back, or rather before you left. ”

"Although I am detached, I am not omniscient. Before sending you away, I only had a vague feeling that I had been calculated and should send you away, and that it was necessary and correct to do so. I don't know where you're going or what's going to happen, but I do want you to have your roots and go further. Your development was completely unexpected by me, so that your departure and my backtracking combined were able to affect even all the transcendents, and then the story you went through became real history. ”

"I don't understand. Zhao Mai shook his head: "Just when I was sitting on this throne, I saw your return. A few days later, you start a backtrack, turning the time back. But what does this have to do with me being sent back in the past by you, who should come first and who should come first?"

"In Tai Chi, who comes first and who comes after yin? I think it's a process of mutual influence and mutual transformation. This is true for the transformation of the material plane, and the same is true for the transformation of the temporal plane. The old man explained, "All along, the time that was retraced did not disappear completely, but was integrated into the new timeline in various forms. The old man before you left has also been retraced to my current state, but we are still one after all, no difference. The two Earths, although they are parallel worlds, you have influenced the Origin World in a special way. Here you can see many examples. Of course, mostly in various literary works, films, television and games. ”

"I've seen all of these things before, and I've been inspired by a lot of them. If you want to say that these are my influences, isn't that an endless cycle?"

"Everyone will be inspired, knowledge never comes out of nowhere, and each person's process of learning and comprehension can only be done in his own chronological order. If you switch perspectives halfway, you'll usually get dizzy. ”

"Then I understand that my time has nothing to do with yours, so I learned them and not the other way around. Zhao Mai sorted out the context of time. "What the hell are you up to? If it weren't for you leaving the throne, it wouldn't have been a chance. ”

"I will also have a lot of things that I don't understand, and I need to continue to learn and seek wisdom. Of course, the biggest reason is that I don't want future generations to continue to be bullied, let alone let civilization be cut off. The old man said, "Therefore I go to other universes, other worlds, and other times to find wisdom." ”

"Won't you keep your throne without fear of being ousted?"

"Worried, how can you not be worried. However, pressure and motivation are actually a pair of yin and yang. Anyway, the results are satisfying to me. ”

"You go back in time to the beginning of August 1, 1927, and it was a full ninety years until today, and you opened the passage. I'm stuck in this golden toilet like I'm in prison, tortured with these wires......"

"There will definitely be torture, but I'm sure you can stand it too. Anyway, do you think it's worth it for me to take these risks, and all these years of sin?"

"Worth it!" Zhao Mai nodded. "Anyway, these uncomfortable and aggrieved things, as well as the things that turned over there, now seem to be just a passing mention, far less important than what you did. After all, my life is not in danger, everyone depends on me, so I will not be blocked, persecuted, slandered, threatened, and the power I have is invincible over there, I have Starfleet, I don't need to develop from poverty to nothing. I'm just receiving electrotherapy...... If I had known that you had sent me through time for that purpose, I would have gladly accepted it, and it would have been more pleasant. ”

"I didn't know what was going to happen until I sent you out. ”

"yes, you follow your feelings. Zhao Mai rolled his eyes and motioned for the fire-wielding girl to serve tea to the old man—Legion Mushroom Tea. The old man looked at the tea that was as thick as porridge, and drank it as soon as he raised his neck, smashed it, smashed it, and praised it, "It's nutritious!"

"It's nutritious, it's just too unpalatable. Wouldn't it be because of this reason that you gave me the gourd Nine Turns Golden Pill a long time ago? The Nine Turns Golden Pill has a taste but is not nutritious, and the legion mushrooms are nutritious but not tasteful, but it is a perfect match. ”

"Hahaha, unintentional, unintentional. The old man laughed, his hands swinging straight.

Zhao Mai felt that things were not so simple, but he couldn't come up with any real evidence, so he snorted and said, "Say, you must have something very important to explain when you wait for me to come out." ”

"The observer is dead, and so are the elemental transcendents, and the remaining transcendents have unanimously agreed to bring you back and open the passage between the two worlds. There is a description and a condition. The old man said, "One explanation is that your enemies had planned to strike at Venus to blackmail you, and it was a few detachments who prevented such a plan, and you owe a favor." One condition is that the same detached ones want to make peace with you. Disagreements and opinions are certainly still there, but I don't want everyone to escalate things to the level of a war of the transcendentals. They are willing to compensate you. ”

"Oh? ”
