Chapter 717: You Didn't Do Enough

"How do you know?" Cai Yuan was really surprised at this time.

There are some truths that he has personally experienced and spent ten years summing up.

However, he was broken by the young man in front of him, which is really a bit unbelievable.

"Isn't that weird? Even though none of us can step through that door and see the truth. But at least... We can all get the refracted information through the mirror. There is a possibility in this world, isn't it very reasonable to see through the reality in you?" Lin Xi asked rhetorically.

Cai Yuan smiled bitterly: "It's really reasonable." ”

It's just that his eyes are still dim again after all.

The remorse of the past is only part of what makes him decadent.

The rest is partly because I see hope... But it was shattered in the moment of sight.

He could feel that when he opened the door, it was a whole new world.

But he could never push it away.

"Since you saw the door on me, what about you... Do you want to try it too?" Cai Yuan asked Lin Xi as if chatting.

Lin Xi didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but said, "I have a book here, you might as well read it." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the electric era he had written.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yuan said: "No need... I've read it, and some other old friends, who have come to see me, the old man, and brought me this interesting book, and asked me what I think. ”

"Since you gave me this book, you're so young... So you're the author of this book? Your name is Xiahou Zun?"

Lin Xi nodded and said, "I'm Xiahou Zun." ”

"You want to study what you write in your book... Electrical?" Cai Yuan stared at Lin Xi, seeming to be very interested.

As the promoter of the first industrial revolution from the foundation, Cai Yuan has a keen intuition about the electricity described in Lin Xi's book.

It's just that, from the steam engine to the electricity... This is an immensely large divide.

If Cai Yuan had already stepped through that door, perhaps he would have been able to smell a trace and start the second energy revolution.

Unfortunately, he didn't cross over.

He was just a mortal after all.

"Maybe!" Lin Xi did not deny.

Then he said: "You said that if electricity really appears, and then spreads, the person who created this situation will live enough for a hundred years, and then try to take the step you took before, can you cross it?"

Cai Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

He also wanted to know about it.

He could feel that the steam under his control was getting stronger and stronger.

That's because, with more and more different types of steam engines put into use, involving all aspects of people's production and life, Cai Yuan's influence naturally expanded.

At the same time, Cai Yuan's name is also increasingly mythologized among those who benefit.

However, it is precisely because of this constant strength that he suffers.

He was stuck in the crack in the door, unable to get through, and unable to get out.

Powerful power flowed through his body, then vented furiously, and finally slipped away quietly.

He also asked himself, if he precipitates a little more, waits for a little longer, and waits until the accumulation is more abundant... Will it be different?

Cai Yuan's gaze gradually became a little hazy.

The cloudy gaze became more dull and more dim.

He's old, old.

Including his mind and body.

People who live in memories and regrets, regardless of age, are old.

"Farewell!"

Lin Xi whispered these two words, then turned around and left.

The purpose for which he came has been fulfilled.

He got the answer he wanted in Cai Yuan's body.

A seed was also left behind.

Whether it can take root and sprout, although it depends on luck, but if he happens to be lucky... Then perhaps, there is no need to wait until the eldest prince is helped to ascend the throne.

As for the question left to Cai Yuan before.

Lin Xi has the answer.

The answer is... No way!

Because as a true transcendent, Lin Xi knew very well that Cai Yuan failed to cross over, not because of insufficient accumulation, but because the environment and rules did not allow it.

Perhaps in some of the more fragile small worlds, the accumulation of being so powerful that it exceeds the upper limit of the world can break the convention.

However, at the border... This concept does not hold.

Because in the border, the origin of this special rule is very strange, and the upper limit of its limit is also extremely high.

Lin Xi is now taking it out alone, and if he doesn't incarnate into a simple Chaos Demon God, he is also an existence comparable to a golden immortal.

Even if it's just a clone, it should have the strength of an ordinary true immortal.

However, when he reaches the border, he has to be honest and develop and accumulate like an ordinary person.

No real flaws or loopholes can be found.

How can such a world transcend its limits?

A hundred years?

Scold!

It's a thousand years, 10,000 years!

In the final analysis, the problem left by Lin Xi is just a bait and a hook.

It's the biggest fish in the world.

It seems that looking at it this way, why didn't Lin Xi come to Cai Yuan directly before, and pretended to be the hand of the eldest prince?

This is actually a very simple truth.

If it weren't for the eldest prince, who would care about an ordinary aristocratic concubine who had been to Xiaochuan Mountain and seen Cai Yuan?

went to Cai Yuan to find out what kind of dialogue they had between them?

Just like Cai Yuan himself said.

Although the outside is heavily guarded, over the years, there have not been many people who have bypassed the guards to meet him.

Even the people who came to kill him should be quite few.

It's just that those who want to kill Cai Yuan, they all bury their bones in the boiling steam.

After Lin Xi returned to the courtyard, it didn't take long for him to wait for the eldest prince to question him.

Faced with questioning, Lin Xi came up with an excuse that he had prepared a long time ago.

"I'm also for Your Highness, although Cai Yuan is old, he is highly respected after all. If one day, through some means, you have to ascend to the throne, and the throne is disputed... Then can we ask Cai Yuan to come out of the mountain and help you stabilize the situation?" As soon as Lin Xi said this, the eldest prince had nothing to say.

Even if there are still doubts, it is not good to continue to ask, so as not to chill Lin Xi's heart.

No matter how wary he was of Lin Xi in his heart, before the big thing was accomplished, he had to put on a good posture of Corporal Lixian.

And Lin Xi didn't care that his excuses were perfunctory and insincere.

Because he had a hunch that the bait he left behind would be bitten by the fish he wanted to catch.

In the Imperial City, in the Tianju Pavilion, the old emperor looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Electric... One hundred years!"

"The widow... Where is there a hundred years?" the old emperor sighed, his eyes couldn't help but be lonely.

At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he didn't know how old he was, and he couldn't see the approach of death, let alone that the ugly steam engine could have such great potential. So didn't take the chance.

And now, a second chance may come, but he is old and has no time.

How cruel is this?

"One hundred years... Qi Dynasty, Jiang Family!" the old emperor crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball, and then threw it into the tea stove.
