"Hmm? Goku, did you feel it?"
"Eh? What did you feel?"
"Just now it seems something has changed..." "
Changed? Did the scenery change? Or this starry sky..."
Guan Liyuan and Goku, who were on two spacecrafts on their way back to "Earth" from Yadrat, were talking using the communication facilities on the spacecrafts.
Guan Liyuan just had a strange feeling, as if... everything around him had changed.
But Goku didn't feel anything, so Guan Liyuan didn't pay much attention.
[Just now the Dragon Ball world was reset.] The voice of the penguin came.
"Oh, it turned out to be a world reset... What? World reset?" Guan Liyuan said in disbelief.
Anyway, he was alone now. In the spherical spacecraft, Guan Liyuan could communicate with the penguin directly.
[That's right, the world reset for unknown reasons.]
"Wait, are you sure it's a reset of the entire world? Judging from the time and feedback coordinates of the spacecraft, we have indeed been driving normally, and there is no time reversal..." Guan Liyuan said.
Generally speaking, world reset or something like that should mean "returning to a certain point in the past", right?
[No, you still don't understand the real "world reset". Only very few worlds can trigger it. It is different from time travel... The Dragon Ball world is a world built on "energy", so it can trigger such a thorough "world reset". ] Penguin said.
"So... what's the difference?"
[If it's time travel, this forum will actually record the data before the time travel, instead of suddenly finding that the world has been reset. ] Penguin said.
"So even you have been reset?" Guan Liyuan said.
[Impossible, don't forget... my server is bound to you, that is, in the Qiankun world! If it's just time travel, the server will not be affected. Moreover, if the server time changes, users in other worlds will also find it! ] Penguin said.
"That's right... Then why don't you know what happened before the 'reset'?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
Just like when two people are on the phone, if "time travel" occurs in the room where one person is, the person on the other end of the phone should find that the other person starts to say the same words as before, and inexplicably loses a period of memory!
[Because it doesn't exist at all, the real "world reset" is the world itself, completely ignoring a part of the world process and returning to a more original state, and the ignored state is equivalent to "not happening", which is different from the general time reversal. ] Penguin said.
In short, it is another philosophical question.
Guan Liyuan smiled with approval and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Guan Liyuan's look, Penguin had to add another sentence: [You can understand it as... only at the level of "cause and effect", there is a time and space that lasts longer than the present, but that time and space does not exist in terms of time, matter, energy... and other concepts. ]
This time Guan Liyuan understood it, after all, Guan Liyuan was very good at cause and effect...
Cause and effect can be separated from time and exist independently. For example, Jingtian's "money makes the world go round", which is to ignore time and directly "add" a false cause, and this process does not involve the concept of time.
And when he heard Penguin say this, Guan Liyuan instinctively thought of the original work's Big Trunks, who was for Trunks.
Because Big Tet used the time machine made by Bulma in the future to travel through time, the parallel world exists...
But from the perspective of the original work, that time and space should really exist, right?
As for why Goku didn't feel anything, Guan Liyuan can also guess the reason. If the Dragon Ball world is a sea of energy, Goku himself is also a small wave in the sea. When the whole sea changes, he is also within the scope of change, but he will not notice anything.
Guan Liyuan is equivalent to someone pouring a bucket of water into the sea, and can discover this broad change from the perspective of "observation".
"We should be almost on Earth, right?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"That's right! This is your first time on Earth, right? Hahaha, Earth is a good place... And there are many aliens. Although you are a little dark, it doesn't matter, hahaha..." Goku laughed.
Guan Liyuan:...
Although it is called Earth, the Earth in the Dragon Ball world is quite different from other Earths.
It is a technological civilization that can build spaceships for long-distance space travel and even a time machine in the future. However, there is also a cultivation system called "martial arts" that cultivates "qi".
At the same time, as Goku said, there are many aliens on Earth. Among the passers-by in the original work, there are many with animal heads. Three-eyed people like Tien Shinhan will not attract attention when walking around on Earth...
But they are basically aliens from other planets in the solar system, such as Namek, which is beyond the scope of the Milky Way. It is still rare to have contact with the earth.
The reason why it can still tenaciously develop technological civilization under such a terrifying cultivation system is also because the technology tree in the Dragon Ball world also has the characteristics of small bottlenecks and large benefits, just like spaceships... There is no speed limit of light speed at all. In a hundred years, it has developed from an aircraft within the atmosphere to a stage that can travel long distances in space!
"Haha! I can already feel Krillin's qi! It should be a few hours before we can reach the earth! Or... should we teleport directly to scare them?" Sun Wukong said.
"No, then the aircraft will be wasted. Let's just fly over slowly." Guan Liyuan said.
Guan Liyuan and Sun Wukong had previously learned "teleportation" on Yadrat Star, a method of movement that uses the sensed "qi" as coordinates. They can instantly appear around the sensed "qi", and the maximum distance is the same as the distance of the sensed qi!
What made Guan Liyuan curious was that this move was completely unrelated to the "space rules", or in other words... the space rules of the Dragon Ball world also rely on energy to exist.
The essence of teleportation is that the original "Sun Wukong" disappears, and a new Sun Wukong is generated at the location of the sensed "qi"...
or in other words, Sun Wukong was originally a small wave on the east coast of the energy sea, and at the moment of teleportation... a small wave on the west coast replaced the previous one to represent Sun Wukong!
Putting aside the theory, the biggest limitation of this move is that it can only use the sensed "qi" as the coordinate, and cannot use the space itself as the coordinate. In other words... Sun Wukong can now teleport back to Earth, but because the aircraft itself has no "qi", it cannot teleport back.
"Huh? There is a very good qi over there, and it is a faster spaceship. In this direction... it should also be going to Earth, and it is one step faster than us... What? Eh? Wait... Why does this qi feel like Frieza?" Wukong suddenly said in surprise. "
It's not Frieza, it's Frieza... Even if he has changed from 'powerful' to 'good' so quickly, don't easily misremember his name!" Guan Liyuan corrected.
But it is indeed a bit strange. Frieza... Before, when he was on Namek, he was held down by Goku and Vegeta, and he was sucked by himself. There should be nothing left. How could he come out? Guan Liyuan was puzzled.
