Extra 1: Gift from the God of Time and Space (2)
When Inger encountered this situation, he subconsciously wanted to wake Alex up, but when he touched Alex, he was motionless and seemed to have stopped breathing.
Only then did he notice that the breathing sounds in the entire room had disappeared, no, it had stopped.
"Ronaldine" smiled and stretched out her hand to him and said, "I don't want anyone to disturb us. Stop the time here. Come with me."
She smiled a seductive smile that she never normally showed.
During the stopped time, only the beings he allowed could move.
Inger stood up and asked him, "God of Time and Space?"
"Well, according to your concept, you should call me like this." The God of Time and Space who occupied Leonardine's body said this and led him to another quiet room.
The moment you enter the room, time begins to flow normally again.
The curtains fluttered in the night breeze.
Inger felt the sensation of weightlessness for a moment, and then it seemed like an illusion. He returned to normal, with only the strong beating of his heart remaining.
Inger looked at the God of Time and Space and said, "You are really here."
The God of Time and Space raised his lips and said, "Well, something happened. I may be a few days late, but it's not too late, right?"
Inger also laughed for no apparent reason.
God of Time and Space: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask, I will tell you everything I can."
Inger nodded and asked, "About the rift in the East Continent."
God of Space and Time: "Ah, that, Lu Ling has been repaired, don't worry, although this space and time is not very stable, humans should be able to survive for a while."
Inger was stunned: "What does this mean?"
The God of Time and Space rolled his eyes and said, "Our concepts of time units and world laws are different from yours. I will explain it to you in a language you can understand. You don't need to understand it. You can't understand the essence with your level of thinking."
Inger: “……..” I always feel like my intelligence has been insulted.
However, the God of Time and Space did not have any contempt on his face. Every word he said seemed to be stating objective facts. He began to speak in Chinese, which he had not heard for a long time: "First of all, you have to know that the concept of "world" I am talking about next is different from the civilization time and space we are in now, and the concept in your original time and space. The "world" I am talking about includes all the universes that are being born and destroyed, as well as all the time and space of all parallel universes on their world lines. It is an extremely broad concept."
Inger took note of the words and felt that he was listening to something beyond his own knowledge.
The reason why he used his native language was probably because there was no corresponding vocabulary in this time and space.
*"The world has only one basic law, called the World Ring Theory. Well, I copied it from a later civilization parallel to the Earth. It's up to you. This is actually the easiest part to understand, about birth and destruction. You should have heard of the parallel universe theory and the world line convergence theory. Simply put, any world, any universe, any civilization, any life will be born and destroyed. The starting point and the end point are determined, and they are connected like a circle. All world lines are the same, starting from one point and converging at one point. No matter how many possibilities, parallel worlds, and parallel universes extend in the middle, a world must be destroyed and born, and it will cycle between birth and destruction."
*"I said your world is bound to be destroyed because this is the fundamental law of the world. No matter how long human civilization can last, it will be destroyed at a certain point in time. All worlds, no matter how long they last or how tortuous their development is, all world lines will inevitably converge at the same point."
*"Ryū and Rei are in charge of the birth and destruction of this small world respectively. To a certain extent, their duties are close to the essence of the big world, but their authority is limited to this small world. It can be regarded as a miniature model of the laws of the world."
Various theories related to time and space popped up in Inger's mind, but he was not an expert in this field and his CPU was not enough, so he could only nod and write down these words.
The God of Time and Space said: *"The goddess should have told you that there is no predetermined destiny in this world. The path you have walked is your destiny. The world does not care about destruction, because destruction is natural and part of the law."
He changed his tone: "Now, here comes the problem. Most people think that death is the most terrible thing, and the destruction of the world is the most terrible consequence. So when destruction becomes a law of course, what is more terrible than destruction?"
Inger broke out in a cold sweat: *“It cannot be destroyed.”
The God of Time and Space snapped his fingers: *“Correct answer!”
This is something he has experienced deeply. What is more terrifying than death is eternal life, and what is more terrifying than destruction is immortality.
The God of Space and Time gestured with his fingers, and finally pointed at himself. He seemed to be struggling with how to express: "Although you call us gods, our form of existence is not similar to that of Law Zero and the like. Our mission is to travel through various universes and time and space to help adjust the balance of the big world. What we have to do is to prevent the world line from...well, deviating."
*"As mentioned above, the branches that can be extended from the world line are infinite, and this is true for all universes. In the process of extension, all branches are parallel, but they will eventually return to one point. This is different from the rules of plane graphics. Overall, shouldn't it be called linear parallelism, irregular intersection of multiple dimensions? In fact, if there are time travelers, multi-time jumpers, and different time and space worlds are connected by cracks, the form of this intersection will be even more complicated."
Inger: “…”
He felt like he understood every word, but he couldn't seem to comprehend anything.
The God of Time and Space seemed to see his confusion and could only continue to explain: "Let me explain it more simply. The infinite branches of the world lines will be parallel at certain times, but they will intersect in essence. That is to say, no matter how tangled the world lines are in the middle, they will eventually converge at one point."
*"The existence of the world is based on the [World Ring Theory]. However, if one of the branches separates from the loop and becomes a ray, you know the concept of a ray, then it only has birth, not destruction, and it is completely separated from the world ring. This is the most serious consequence, and the laws of the world will be fundamentally overturned. However, the laws of the world cannot be overturned, which constitutes a contradiction at the world level."
*"Neither the Phoenix nor the curse on you is truly immortal. It's just that the life span is longer. Well, compared to some species in other universes, it's also short-lived. True immortality is beyond the laws of the world. Normally, we travel at different time points and are responsible for regulation so that no branch of the world line escapes from the ring."
*“So this time…” Inger asked involuntarily.
*"Yes, it was because I observed the derailment of this world line that I chose to intervene. This world line does not only refer to the development trajectory of this planet, but also refers to the complete world line of the entire universe where this planet is located."
*"To put it bluntly, the scope that Lu Ling and the others can control is just this planet of life. As a relatively closed form of civilization, the various civilizations in the universe may not be able to communicate with each other until this planet is destroyed. Therefore, this becomes a small world, a closed unit system. There is no God in the time and space you once lived in."
Inger caught a phrase: *"Spacetime?"
The God of Time and Space saw that he could finally follow his thoughts and laughed: "Lü Ling once told you that they were born from a destroyed world. But do you know why the history of the planet they are in charge of is so similar to that of your native planet?"
Inger caught the sudden inspiration, but he was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words. He could only wait for him to speak.
*"In the time and space where you were born, during the natural destruction of civilization on Earth, a new god was born, which gave birth to a new civilization. In the time and space where the god still existed, that civilization was destroyed again. The two civilizations were relatively close in time and environment, so Law and Zero were born in the world that was about to be destroyed. After evolution, they arrived at the current time point."
Inger opened his mouth and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "So... I am now in a very long time after the destruction of the Earth in 2060?"
*"You can also say that I didn't put you in a parallel universe, I just traveled linearly in time. Before and after this, there were many similar reincarnation civilizations. When this planet dies, similar planets will appear. When the environment and conditions are met in similar locations, similar life and civilization will be born. Of course, the civilizations born from other closed or connected units are very different from yours, and there are more forms of life than just carbon-based life."
*"I'm getting off topic again. The reason why I sent you here, no, I sent this Inger into Gu Shu's body, is because the time and space where Gu Shu is located gave birth to an escape world line. When I observed this phenomenon, starting from that branch point, other branch lines also began to escape, and a large area turned red. Ah, you can understand it as a viral infection phenomenon. True indestructibility is very rare, but under the causal probability of the world entropy level, this situation will occasionally occur."
*“…He, the Inger in this body, is he going to save that world?” Inger asked in a murmur.
*"No, he is just a wedge to pry the cause and effect. The butterfly effect, something like that. And relying solely on one person or one event cannot change the final direction of the world line. This is a complex and chaotic chain that cannot be calculated. After all, I have only observed one branch line that has not escaped in the infinite world line. I quickly found the branch point in the past and sent people there. Fortunately, it was adjusted back..."
Inger asked: *"What happened to the Earth after 2060......"
The space and time where his original body was located was a world without magic or monsters, only cold intelligent machines and ordinary humans.
* "For the Earth in 2060," the God of Time and Space uttered some fragments that Inger could not recognize, and he quickly changed his words, "Ah, it's our counting number. Sorry, it's probably, Type 1 Earth. He told me that it should be translated like this."
*"In conclusion, Type-1 Earth, like the current Law Zero World, was invaded by creatures from other time and space. They were not the same species, but escaped species from the same time and space. That small world was destroyed by this species. They were marked as 'Level 1 Designated Dangerous Isolation Species' by the Interstellar Space Administration of that time and space. When they discovered this thing, they tried to destroy it, but failed. This thing quietly escaped because it has the ability to jump through time and space."
Inger didn't know how many times he had looked confused and speechless.
He felt as if he had accidentally entered the scene of an interstellar science fiction movie.
*"They will escape from the black hole and find the nearest planet with life to parasitize it. This should not be dangerous for most interstellar life, at most they will be destroyed by it. But after 2060, some bugs appeared on the Type 1 Earth, giving birth to a life form that constantly absorbs energy. It is a mechanism bug... The process is too complicated, let him tell you when you have time. Anyway, it created an immortal life form that should not exist in concept. Given a certain amount of time, all universes may be swallowed up, and this world line escaped. Almost all time lines that spread out from that divergence point escaped and headed for the immortal parallel line, and the world line no longer converged. Fortunately, I finally found the branch that had not yet escaped and adjusted it back. The world line converged again."
Inger took a deep breath. Although he had a good memory, he really needed time to digest this.
*"By the way, if you fail to adjust successfully, the current Law Zero world you are in will not exist."
But if you think about it carefully, this makes sense.
But Inger now finds it difficult to imagine such consequences.
"He, Inger, didn't want himself, his parents and his brother to disappear, so he agreed to help me. However, as a prerequisite for helping me, he asked me to let him see them again, so I came." The God of Time and Space switched back to the Chune language.
Inger opened his mouth and eyes wide, "Is this possible?"
The God of Time and Space smiled and said, "I still have this ability. You know that this body has abilities related to time, right?"
He was talking about Leonardine.
"This is her own ability. She is a strange person in this world. However, it is also because of this that she and I have the best compatibility, so she has become my 'Saint' in this world. Didn't Lu Ling tell you that they will find humans in this world who are closer to their origins. As their spokesperson, although I cannot interfere too much in the cause and effect of this world, I can still do this. She should have died at a certain moment, but I helped her survive so that she can participate in subsequent battles, and I can use her body to talk to you. Oh, she knows my existence. What a lovely child."
Inger had a strange intuition that this God of Time and Space must have been scolded by Leonardine many times.
He asked, "What if, I mean, it doesn't adjust back and the laws of the world are overturned?"
The God of Time and Space thought for a moment, and an incomprehensible light flashed in his eyes. He quickly said, "It cannot be calculated, because this does not exist in the historical records."
The history he is talking about is not the historical records of a computer or the history of a civilization.
"Well, the laws of the world have another characteristic, which is absoluteness. The laws absolutely exist and can never be overturned. That's why we were born. The reason why a circle is perfect is that it will never be destroyed. So I can't imagine the consequences of this, because it has never existed."
Inger shut up. This was truly something that he couldn't touch in this dimension.
The God of Time and Space took out a prepared mirror from the cabinet. Inger was very familiar with it. It was a reflection mirror, but it was a little bigger.
The God of Time and Space stretched out his hand and wiped the mirror. The mirror seemed to be formatted and restored at a certain moment. In any case, something happened that even magic could not do.
He handed the mirror to Inger: "Here, I have connected it. You inject magic power into it. The power on the other side is sufficient. I can see you when I turn it on."
Inger took the mirror, confused.
The God of Time and Space smiled and pointed to a spot on the mirror. "Unlock the biometric code. You should remember it. Inject the magic power into it as usual. Although I can't send him back, at least I can use this to keep in touch with him via video."
"?!.......You mean, the other side is...!"
The God of Time and Space smiled but said nothing.
The magic power has been infused in at this moment.
The mirror flickered.
A figure emerged.
Inger quickly looked down.
The person in the mirror also looked over here. Opposite him was a man, a man who was too good-looking. His expression was indifferent, but it could not hide the outstanding brow ridges, which were almost stunning at first sight. Inger had only seen three people with such appearance in this world, Alex, Elena and Lan Lin.
The man seemed to be young, with an East Asian, yellow face, but his skin was too white to be sure. He should be under 30 years old, but judging from his appearance, it would not be surprising to say that he was in his early twenties.
The most eye-catching thing is the half-tied pink long hair. It seems that it was dyed a long time ago and is almost faded now. The roots of the hair are a little black and the hair is a rose gold with a slightly pink hue. Only a face like this can support such a disastrous hair color.
He appears to have three golden earrings on his left ear.
Well, you can tell at first glance that he's not someone you'd want to mess with.
Inger raised his hand and said hesitantly: *"Hi?"
The man in the mirror narrowed his eyes in Inger's direction and stretched out his hand, as if to take the mirror: "Hey, whose tablet is this?"
Speaks Chinese.
Another male voice came: "Who still uses such an ancient tablet? Everyone has an AI watch. We can only ignore that antique!"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Inger's heart began to beat wildly.
*“Hmm? Mugui, you called me?” A hoarse voice came, as if someone had just woken up from sleepiness.
*“Someone sent you a video.” The pink-haired man named Mugui handed over the tablet.
The male voice from before teased, "You have other friends besides the people in this dormitory? That's rare!"
"Get lost! But who would contact me at this time... Besides, the tablet was broken a long time ago, and I was thinking of getting it fixed at an antique shop?" The owner of the voice approached.
Inger had already guessed it, but when he actually saw that face with his own eyes, he couldn't help but tear up.
The mirror reflected a black-haired man with a thin, angular, delicate and attractive face. It was his original face.
The features were his, but the face he could hardly recognize.
The "Gu Shu" in the mirror was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then his mouth and eyes widened in an instant, making him even more unlike him.
Inger's tears were forced back by his exaggerated expression.
During the time when "Gu Shu" was completely stunned, he stared at himself in the mirror with a smile on his face, not missing any subtle changes in his original body.
Every time he looked at himself in the mirror, he looked sleepy and haggard. The skin and flesh on his face seemed to never be filled up. The 35-year-old man's facial features, which were once quite attractive, were tormented by his internal emotions and looked like a patient who had escaped from a hospital.
The man in front of me was not only 35 years old, but people would believe he was in his early twenties. He really looked much younger. For some reason, his face had more color and flesh. He looked very healthy, and his eyes were full of life. He was completely different from the original him.
It seems that the original Inger is doing well there.
He felt strangely relieved.
Gu Shu was stunned for a while, then screamed: *"Ahhhhhhhh! It's you! No! It's me! No, no, it's not all me!! It's not me inside, you are Gu Shu?! The original Gu Shu?!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Inger couldn't help but laugh. It was a funny sight to see his own face screaming.
The man who had teased him before revealed helplessness in his tone: "........what are you crazy about?"
Mugui holds a piece of baked bread in her mouth: "Calm down and speak like a human being."
*“God of Time and Space!!! Come out!!!” Gu Shukuang tapped the tablet.
The God of Time and Space walked around behind Inger and said hello: "Hello? Are you looking for me?"
*"Huh???? How did you become a woman?"
*"This is my incarnation here. Please lend it to me." The God of Time and Space said with a frown.
Most of the above theories are fictionalized by the author himself. Of course, they are fictionalized based on the existing parallel universe theory. Please do not take them too seriously.
