"What do you want to say?"
There was a hint of coldness in Chu Shangli's voice, but Chu Shangli knew that this was just her bluff as her mental state was in chaos.
To be honest, the Cheshire Cat revealing the fact of her rebirth had a much greater impact on her than Chu Moyin's revelation or even the fact that she was an experimental subject just now.
Or maybe, only after hearing that he was an experimental subject, could he have been so panicked now—
Chu Shangli didn't know, and she had no way of judging her own mood.
"What I'm trying to say is, given enough data—future destinies, even products that only exist in the future, will appear in this space and time. After all, simply controlling the genes of ordinary people isn't safe enough—no one knows if a troublesome individual hidden within the empire's upper echelons will emerge in the process, one that the empire's high-ranking families can't handle. So, after controlling genes, they chose to control time. If there's even a slight disturbance, they can simply go back in time to correct it, eliminating the danger in the bud—"
The Cheshire Cat paused for a moment: "It's a perfect idea, isn't it? Mastering the genes of everyone at this moment, burying chips in people's brains, installing surveillance cameras around everyone, and mastering the past - the empire can always be stable. For the general development of history, it is a constant unity and separation, unity and separation, peace and war, peace and war, peace and war - but, for Miss Chu Shangli, who has a good record in history, you should know, right? The empire has been maintained for a thousand years or even longer - even the families that have always been at the top are always descendants of the same group of people. Everyone celebrates and cheers for their own lives, but there has never been any mistakes - this is impossible no matter what -"
The Cheshire Cat snapped his fingers. "So, they control time—in fact, the invention of time control predates genetic control. Mother has long been able to control time—and the original course of history has also been changed—so the foundation of our empire's survival is based on the ability to travel through time. History is a course that satisfies everyone and is corrected."
Various science fiction novels appeared in Chu Shangli's mind——
If this were something from a science fiction novel, the person who did this would most likely be invited for tea by someone from the Space Time Administration.
However, the Empire was doing very well - little by little, they were correcting the past to the state they needed.
Is it because there is no organization like the Space-Time Administration that intervenes in what they do?
Only the upper echelons of the empire have mastered the method—
“Hey, could it be that—?”
"Well, I roughly know what your guess is. I can also tell you that it's almost the correct answer. But there's still a deviation. I wonder if you can guess what it is?"
Chu Shangli pondered for a moment and replied, "Rather than being in the hands of the upper echelons, it's more accurate to say that it's in the hands of a very small number of people—your mother, for example. If... the imperial families knew about this, they would definitely not let you go. They'd treat you well in the early stages, but a war would undoubtedly break out later, as you mentioned earlier."
"That's right, the war—that's what I just mentioned." The Cheshire Cat laughed. "So, I used other excuses to get away with it—and, the contribution I made already satisfied them, so they didn't pursue it too much. However, I always fall into unreasonable emotions..."
