Chapter 378: A Long River of Time

Void gaps, gray sea of fog.

The two of them, suspended in the void of the sea of fog, slowly opened their eyes.

One of them smiled, looked at the other, and then distorted and vanished.

Looking at the direction of Zuo Yu's departure, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's been more than a year and nearly a year since he woke up from the void gap.

And it is only today that he finally has a flesh and blood body that can contain his own consciousness in the true sense.

The two clones of Lin Zhongtian and Zuo Yu have been completely refined into out-of-body incarnations by his main consciousness.

Since then, Lin Zhongtian has been able to descend his consciousness on the avatar without the help of gray mist as a medium, without worrying that the physical body will collapse on its own because it cannot bear it.

As a result, the strength and personality of the two clones have been greatly increased, the most significant of which is the power of authority.

In the void space, Lin Zhongtian's subjective consciousness has been able to affect the flow of time on a small scale, and thus created the Time Cultivation House.

Now, his two out-of-body avatars also possess the power of temporal authority.

However, these spatio-temporal powers are greatly weakened outside of the void.

Lin Zhongtian tore open the spatial rift and came to the Godfather World, which was already completely controlled by the Alliance, and after a little experiment, he found that he could only speed up or delay the time by 1-2 times within a small radius of twenty miles.

Naturally, this number cannot be compared to the power in the void space.

But authority is authority after all.

For beings like Lin Zhongtian, it is a very important threshold, through which many forces can be leveraged beyond the authority itself.

Lin Zhongtian hovered over Washington, his dark eyes glowing with sparkling silver.

Under his high-dimensional perspective mixed with the authority of time, the city in front of him suddenly moved, countless roadside pedestrians pulled out a series of lengthy afterimages on the street, and the towering high-rise buildings also became irregular polygons in his eyes......

Three minutes later, the silver light in Lin Zhongtian's eyes converged, and then he set his eyes on an intersection seventeen kilometers away.

If he's not mistaken, fifteen seconds later, there will be a serious rear-end crash at that intersection.

One, two, three...... Fourteen, fifteen!

"Bang!"

The vehicle is rear-ended, and the car in front is hit by the car behind and moves sideways.

All kinds of exclamations, angry shouts, and car sirens sounded at the intersection at the same time.

Lin Zhongtian bowed his head slightly, and there was a car accident at the intersection as he expected.

It was only with his deliberate intervention that the car accident did not hurt anyone, but it did lead to a vicious brawl.

With the siren sounding, a nearest police car quickly drove up, and Lin Zhongtian no longer paid attention to the road below, but instead tore through the space and came to the Christian world that belonged to God.

……

……

Walking out of the portal, there is a dark, damp street in front of you.

The Gothic buildings on both sides of the street stand silently, shrouded in shadows in the quiet moonlight, and the surrounding area is empty, which looks eerie.

The night breeze blew and rolled up a few flyers on the ground that had fallen due to poor bonding.

Lin Zhongtian casually took a picture of it, and when he looked down, he saw a familiar person's head printed on the flyer.

"Van Helsing, Europe's most wanted man, has been repeatedly accused of murder, robbery, theft ......"

Seeing the text description below the photo, the corners of Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched.

What kind of flyer is this, it is clearly Van Helsing's wanted notice.

After a long absence, this guy is getting worse and worse.

It was only a little famous before, but now it has been promoted to the most wanted man in Europe!

Suddenly, Lin Zhongtian seemed to notice something, and immediately turned his head to look at the end of the street.

I saw an old cardinal, wearing a red hat and a golden cross necklace on his chest, who was wearing monocles at the moment, tearing the wanted notice on the street lamp with his old hand.

Lin Zhongtian smiled when he saw this, and walked to the cardinal's side.

"This is your human incarnation?"

"As you understand it, yes."

The cardinal tore off Van Helsing's wanted warrant, turned to look at Lin Zhongtian and said with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to my door?" ”

Lin Zhongtian's face turned straight and said seriously: "I have a question and want to ask you for advice." ”

With a thoughtful look on his face, the cardinal nodded, "You say." ”

Lin Zhongtian was not polite, and told the cardinal, or Jehovah, everything he had just seen.

After hearing this, the cardinal smiled and said: "It's just that you know the future and know the past, it's nothing to you, just take a look at it and get used to it a little!" ”

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Of course I know, what I want to ask you is, what is that faintly ribbon-like magnificent thing that I saw from a high-dimensional perspective when I was observing the future?" ”

The cardinal tore up the wanted warrant and said slowly, "That's a long time. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How long has it been? Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully, "Isn't that a metaphor, is there really such a thing?" ”

The cardinal stopped what he was doing, looked at Lin Zhongtian and smiled: "As you said, it is indeed an easy-to-understand metaphor, but at the same time it is also a real spectacle, and it is through the authority of the ontology that you browse the long river of time from a higher perspective and reflect the reality, which is the so-called ...... of predicting the future and knowing the past."

Lin Zhongtian was puzzled: "Then why can't I really see the existence of the long river of time?" ”

The cardinal shook his head and chuckled, "You've seen it, but it's just that its existence is beyond your current cognition, so you will subconsciously concretize it into something that can be recognizedβ€”for example, a long river." ”

Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully: "I think I understand what you mean." ”

The cardinal glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "No, you don't understand, if you want to really understand how the river of time works, you have to learn knowledge and have a lot of rules to understand......"

Lin Zhongtian humbly asked, "Then can you teach me?" ”

The cardinal laughed, and immediately held out a hand, indicating that he would pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

The corners of Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Can you give credit first, I really don't have any extra Source World souls here." ”

The cardinal thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay, but in this case, I can only pay half of the deposit and answer a few simple questions from you." ”

"Deal!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded decisively, and then asked, "I want to know how the Long River of Time works." ”

"There are also the so-called 'time loops', 'grandmother's paradox', 'what has happened has happened', and 'influencing the past will lead to parallel universes'...... which is true?"

The old cardinal couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"You're really welcome......

"However, the points you mentioned are actually correct."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All correct? ”

Lin Zhongtian frowned and said in surprise: "How is this possible, some views are fundamentally contradictory!" ”

The cardinal smiled and said: "It is naturally contradictory to be placed in the same world, but it is not contradictory to be placed in different worlds!" ”

Lin Zhongtian instantly understood what he meant, and immediately said in astonishment: "You mean, the length of time in each world is different, and its operation methods and time rules are also different?" ”

"That's right."

The cardinal nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "For example, the world I created, although it allows time and space travel, but at the same time, it also has a certain degree of self-regulation ability, and will try its best to return history to its original appearance, which is the so-called destiny ......"

What a fatalistic setting of bad taste!

Lin Zhongtian tugged at the corners of his mouth, embarrassed to say the complaint in his heart.

The cardinal continued in a leisurely tone, "With your current strength, with the help of the power of time, you can easily navigate the long river of time, and even choose time nodes from outside the world and travel freely, but I don't recommend that you do so. ”

"Why?"

"Because your power has exceeded the recovery threshold of a single universe of time, once you travel through the river of time at will, or even change the fate of the past and the future, it will definitely cause the time river to be disordered, and then the entire universe will collapse and collapse."

As he spoke, the cardinal sighed and said, "When you create the world by yourself, you will understand that for us, the so-called long river of time is a delicate glass bottle, which needs to be carefully cared for, otherwise it will be easily shattered by the force that exceeds the threshold......

…… I seriously doubt that you are in Versailles!

Lin Zhongtian complained in his heart, but he still asked seriously: "What if it's not a single universe, I mean that the multiverse world with an extremely high energy level has long been shuttled by various superpowers." ”

The cardinal thought for a while, nodded and said: "That should be fine, the time of this kind of world is extremely tough, I can't say your body, but this doppelganger should be able to shuttle at will, but you still have to pay attention to the local time rules and don't break them at will." ”

"I see."

Lin Zhongtian nodded, and then asked, "Then if I encounter such a world, how can I choose a time node to shuttle?" ”

The cardinal had a smile on his face: "It's simple, as long as you know, you will!" ”

Listening to your words is like listening to your words.

Lin Zhongtian looked confused, but the cardinal no longer answered, just waved his hand lightly and sent him out of the world.

"Let's figure it out for yourself, next time you visit the door, don't come empty-handed again!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The corners of Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and his body exuded silver light, standing in the void.

After a little thought, Lin Zhongtian tore open the spatial rift and followed the space-time anchor back to the void space gap.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhongtian took another step and crossed the space to a silver coordinate ball.

This is a very peculiar high-energy world, Lin Zhongtian has discovered it a long time ago, but he has never entered to explore, and he has not dared to solidify the coordinates of this world on the Traverser Square.

"If it were this world, it should be able to withstand it, right?"

While thinking so, Lin Zhongtian's eyes glowed with silver light and looked at the silver ball of light.

If this world can't do it either, then he can only try his luck in the Marvel world......
