Chapter 7: The Tide Is on Me
"So, now is the right time?"
Yunru's story is long, long enough to encompass nine forty-five-day cycles; But Yunru's story is very short, so short that the three of them have not gone too far, Qi Teng and Chu Xuan understood what the South Yanzhou team and the North Ice Continent team did before the Zhongzhou team entered this world, and how the two wise men, Neos and Xiao Honglu, carefully laid out the most critical key of the "Emblem of Time" to the hands of the Zhongzhou team, and successfully arranged for them to enter the "Paradise Lost", avoiding the first time loop.
Qi Tengyi had already understood at this time: "After the showdown between you and Xiao, from our encounter with the replicants of the Nanyanzhou team, to the time we entered here, everything was actually in your plan?" ”
"No, Xiao laid out the killing game he did his best on the premise of completely destroying your Middle-earth team, including the key to the time machine, which was also the bait he deliberately released in order to win your trust."
But to Qi Teng's surprise, Yun Ru denied his conjecture and said straightforwardly: "On the one hand, Yuri's mind control over him is very tight, and the autosuggestion of the Three-Eyed Clan bloodline can only solve the urgent need for a while, and he is also worried that he will show flaws when facing Yuri......"
"On the other hand, in his words, it is: 'As the last and strongest reincarnation team, they must see through my layout. If they can't do it, then they don't have the strength to defeat Yuri, so they might as well just die. It is better to die without knowing anything than to die in this time of reincarnation. ’”
“…… It's really something that a wise man would say. ”
Qi Tengyi shrugged helplessly, a little unreasonable at first hearing, but after thinking about it, whether it was Neos who had seen it before, or Xiao who had tried his courage under Yuri, these wise men all had their own pride, and it was not so simple to be able to submit to others...... After all, if you want to convince these extremely smart characters, you have to do a job.
- But fortunately, the existence of wise men, we not only have them, but there are also two of them.
Speaking of this, Qi Teng couldn't help but look at Chu Xuan, who was walking silently beside him, without saying a word, and asked cautiously, "So Chu Xuan, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Time is relative, it is a measure created by intelligent beings to perceive the world as they see it."
But unexpectedly, Chu Xuan actually gave an unexpected answer, this young man stared at the fog surrounding this space, and said without raising his head: "Although the time machine seems to be omnipotent in this world, it is not without limitations, at the very least, it must follow the rules of the main god. ”
Lord God.
Qi Teng instantly understood what Chu Xuan was talking about, although he was only resurrected after Scorpius Malfoy returned, he had also heard Yang Yun and Zheng Zhe mention something about the time turner, and naturally knew that the power of the main god was independent of the world and above the timeline of a single world...... Just like Chu Xuan said, even if Yuri's time rewind was omnipotent, it would still be limited by the main god.
- Why forty-five days, and not more?
The answer is very simple, because the limit of what the time machine can do is only forty-five days at most, and the time point when the three reincarnation teams descend is like the three wedges that the Lord God has driven in the timeline of this world, and they can move freely within this boundary, but they cannot cross the set limit.
The Arctic Continent team is faced with the iron law of time, an impassable boundary, they cannot use the time machine to go back to before they came, and they cannot turn back the clock the moment the Middle-earth team arrived. Because the fact of the advent of the reincarnation team is a "result" that has been determined, and it cannot be changed no matter how many times time passes, it is an ironclad fact.
It may only be level, but it shall not be crossed.
"The anchor of time."
Qi Tengyi muttered to himself, "So what we need to do now is to pass this information to Yang Yun and Zheng Zha's side, and to avoid them being affected by the time lapse......"
"It's simple." Chu Xuan's voice was calm as usual, as if the conjecture he had just put forward was nothing more than a daily triviality.
Qi Tengyi was shocked by Chu Xuan's reaction again, although he was convinced of Chu Xuan's wisdom and analytical ability, the young man couldn't help but rub his receding hairline irritably: "Chu Xuan, you always have a way to solve the problem, but to describe all this as 'very simple' is a bit ......"
"Since we entered this world, everything has been going well."
There was a hint of indifference in Chu Xuan's voice, as if he was narrating an ordinary thing: "It can be said to be very different from the situation in the Pacific Rim world. ”
- When the Middle-earth team conquered Yuri's first small base, they almost effortlessly discovered Yuri's specially made small device to interfere with Zhan Lan's mental power scanning. And this discovery did not even go through any difficult search or complex reconnaissance, so to speak, and it can be said that it went unexpectedly.
- Shortly after being bombarded by a nuclear bomb, "Neos" released a probe to try to see what was going on, and in this vast and boundless sea, Zhan Lan just opened his mental power scan, and happened to scan the Hurricane-class submarine lurking in the deep sea.
Qi Tengyi's eyes flashed one scene after another, and he couldn't help but sigh that the luck of the Middle-earth team seemed to be a little better than usual, especially compared to their last experience in the Pacific Rim, which was in stark contrast. As Chu Xuan said, these are simply two completely different extremes.
This extreme transformation, reminiscent of the story Yun Ru had told before, Qi Tengyi's mind began to become active, and a bold conjecture slowly formed in his mind. Perhaps there is some kind of law or force at work behind all this that they are not aware of, and the "luck" of the Middle-earth team is not purely accidental, but has a deeper reason.
"Could it be—"
"That's the 'don't you say.'"
Although Qi Tengyi was excited in his heart, his whole body trembled slightly, revealing his excitement about his bold conjecture, but Chu Xuan was unmoved, his expression was always calm as water, like a bottomless still lake, without any ripples.
Then, he slowly took out a broken hourglass from the space bag.
"This time, it's up to me." (End of chapter)
