Waiting for the "name", this matter that was listed as a "to-do list" by Li Wenyuan when he was still in the Milky Way, finally waited for the opportunity today.

He had also entered the black hole twice before, but he had not been able to find anything from it, and he had always thought that it was because he was missing something like an "invitation", and now he had waited for this opportunity.

It's a vital place, the Circle of Time, the Singular Cycle, the Human ...... Many mysteries are related to this place.

He has already obtained important information from black holes more than once, and this time the "naming" is more like a long-awaited thing for him to be satisfied.

Through the sensor scanning the entire "Dead Planet" galaxy, Li Wenyuan found no trace of human beings left here, according to their past habits, there is usually an obelisk carrying data on a planet here waiting for him to explore.

But he was now incredibly sure that this was the place he was looking for, and that this was where humanity was most likely to leave a message.

"Does it mean that the 'scales of the time' are what they left behind? No...... No, habits are not something that can be easily changed......"

"So are they leaving the information in a black hole? Or was the 'Scales of the Hour Beet' not actually left by them? Or...... Is it possible to do both? ”

But after "listening" to the "name", he felt more and more that the appearance of the "scales of the time beetle" was very strange.

It is absolutely impossible for humans to leave only this "biological fragment" and a small inexplicable introduction, although they also have Riddler, but that is based on the premise that information retention can be guaranteed.

The preservation of this "biological debris" cannot be said to be low, but it can only be said that there is almost no additional information, and the additional information is only a small electromagnetic signal attached to the scales, and it is difficult to imagine that a human would transmit information to him through this kind of thing.

“…… So this could have been specially prepared by the Ring of Time? The goal is ...... I? He thought about it and thought it was quite likely.

After all, after he came to this "Dead Planet" galaxy with the help of the information attached by the "Hunter" to the "Scales of the Time Crest", he heard the "name" almost immediately, and he didn't think that this matter had nothing to do with it.

“…… Then it's time to accept this 'invitation' no matter what......"

Looking at the outline of the black hole that glowed from the accretion disk and presented a sphere, Li Wenyuan made his decision in his heart.

A small spaceship carrying an anti-gravity system jumps here and heads towards the black hole in the center of the galaxy.

This was what he had prepared for this day, and although other warships also carried anti-gravity systems, the more they acted on larger ships, the more unstable the effect of the anti-gravity systems became.

This small spaceship was already a spaceship that he was sure would be able to enter the black hole without problems, and it was very suitable as a carrier of his consciousness this time.

Then, propelled by the thrusters, the spacecraft approached the accretion disk of the black hole and gradually approached the event horizon.

It is not the first time that Li Wenyuan has experienced something similar, but after all, this trip is going to meet the mysterious "Ring of Time", and it is inevitable that there will be some waves in his heart.

Soon, the spacecraft approached the photon sphere of the black hole, and the photons were already bound here, and although they would not fall into the black hole, they would not be able to escape.

At this moment, the "call" that appeared above the "soul" also reached its loudest as the ship approached, and the indescribable language was repeating the "data" representing his name, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

Approaching this position, and further reaching the event horizon, Li Wenyuan recalled the information left by the "professor" when he first approached the black hole to this extent.

[I see the end of time, I see the never-ending cycle]

[And all of this will be recorded here]

The photon spheroid layer is the last place where the black hole can theoretically obtain information, and Li Wenyuan also chose to stay here for a while, waiting for the information that may remain here.

The effects of gravity distorted time and space, and the massive void was now filled with the ship's sensors, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a void that seemed to swallow everything.

Originally, when he was far away, Li Wenyuan could still see that there seemed to be some "creatures" moving in the black hole, but after getting close to this level, the black hole became calm, like a pool of stagnant water.

Time is still passing, but much slower, and what is happening here is moving at a cosmic rate.

But after waiting here for a long time, Li Wenyuan still didn't wait for the information that might be left here, and after sighing slightly, he crossed this layer of "the last boundary".

The next moment, the world was spinning.

The universe becomes extremely small in an instant, but the world inside the "black hole" expands into the "whole world" at this moment.

An extremely bright oval "universe" filled with a large number of light points was speeding away from the spaceship that had been introduced into the event horizon, but Li Wenyuan's perception at this time was no longer on the "universe" at all, but on the huge "ring" in front of him.

To be precise, it is not a "ring", but a "belt" that is so long that there is no end in sight, and it seems to be the only "object" in the black hole.

However, somehow, this "belt", which could not see the connection at all, gave Li Wenyuan a feeling that "he should be round", and even in his eyes, this belt was still "shining" in a state of "ring".

It's hard to understand, everything inside the black hole falls gravitationally towards the "singularity" unconditionally, and theoretically he can't see anything before his spacecraft.

But now he could clearly "feel" that the "belt" was in front of his ship, or that his ship was approaching the "belt".

“…… So is this the ontology of the 'Circle of Time'? It seems to be somewhat ...... as imagined Doesn't quite match? ”

Li Wenyuan had imagined the meeting scene with the "Ring of Time" in his mind, but now this "meeting" seems to be a bit too simple.

Although this thought only flashed in his mind, the "Ring of Time" seemed to be able to know what he was thinking, but he saw the huge "belt" tremble a little, and then a "light" directly enveloped the spaceship.

This incident only happened for a split second, and Li Wenyuan's processor didn't even realize what was going on until the "scenery" had completed the change.

However, I saw that there was only one "ribbon" in the pitch black, and the event horizon changed its appearance, just like the scenery on a normal earth, there is a blue sky in the observation due to the scattering of light, there are clouds formed by the condensation of water molecules, there are stars shining, and even you can see looming tall buildings.

Judging by all the details, he is on a planet that is very similar to the "Earth" of a long time ago.

When he came back to his senses, Li Wenyuan noticed that his sensors did not react at all, and his consciousness data did not seem to interact with the spacecraft equipment because of his thoughts, so as to obtain "information".

“…… So where do my 'senses' come from now? ”

Before he could think about it, a voice came from behind him.

"It seems like it's been a long time since you've felt a 'body', think about it."

This is the voice of the old man, and when you hear it, you can know that the owner of the voice is not young, but the years have not left traces of decay for it, and it is easy to feel that this person is still old and strong.

And Li Wenyuan, who heard this, was stunned for a while, and subconsciously said: "Body? ”

Manipulating the "consciousness of data" had become a habit that almost made him forget how living organisms worked, but then he suddenly realized that some almost forgotten instinct was recalled to him again.

This bioelectric signal began to pass through his body, and countless synapses carried the idea of "consciousness" to various tissues little by little with inefficient speed.

Compared with the almost perfect "synthetic human" body, such a body is obviously not "practical" enough, but Li Wenyuan has ignited an irrepressible sense of excitement for a long time.

He could feel the beating of his heart, the flow of blood, the dilation of pores, and the stretching of his muscles, which was the perception of a "creature", the "sense" he had when he was a "primate".

He reverted back to "human", to be precise, a "human" who still belonged to the biological period of "Homo sapiens in the primate family".

And the current shell is the body before he became a "mechanical intelligence", an ordinary young man named Li Wenyuan.

“…… Looks like you're out of the way, so I think we can talk about it. ”

After hearing this old man's voice again, Li Wenyuan remembered that he seemed to be the only one here, and then he suddenly turned around and saw an elderly human.

The old man had white hair, but his eyes were full of clarity and wisdom, and there was not a trace of turbidity.

Walking was something he didn't need, and time seemed to freeze his body for a moment, but he was still healthy and full of vitality.

Of course, in Li Wenyuan's view, the most conspicuous thing about this old man is that he is dressed in a white coat, and the logo of "XXX Institute of Physics" is printed on the neckline, almost writing "I am a scientific researcher" on his face.

And for such a "scientific researcher" who exists in such a special place, Li Wenyuan has only one answer in his heart:

"Are you ...... 'professor'?"

Hearing this noun that seemed to have some kind of exclusive referential effect, the old man raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly surprised voice: "You know me?" ”

But then, the "professor" shook his head and said calmly:

"Forget it, whether you know it or not, it doesn't affect anything."

"I'm indeed a 'professor,' but I don't know if it's the 'professor' you know."

"This is the end point of the 'time loop', and it is also the starting point, and many 'professors' from different time periods have been here."

"And I'm just one of them, a 'professor' in the world of 'Ω-8391.'"
