After leaving the inn, Lin Zao and his wife couldn't wait to return to the General's Mansion. As for the Yue brothers, since Xiao Wu insisted on staying in Ganzhou City, Yue Wuyan had no choice but to go to Doctor Zhang's clinic with Xiao Wu.
Dr. Zhang was overjoyed that Xiao Wu was staying, and warmly welcomed Yue Wuyan, leaving the clinic with a free bodyguard—a wonderful thing indeed.
Lin Zao carefully opened the wooden box that Yue Wuyan had given them, and inside lay a fiery red gem the size of an egg.
"!!! Another level eight zombie crystal core, and it's fire-attribute too..."
Lin Zao looked at the crystal core in the box with a mixture of surprise and expectation.
This is the third zombie crystal core they have found. They wonder what the purpose of the Celestial Master spreading these crystal cores out in the first place was.
Tang Jian reached out and picked up the fire-attribute crystal core from the box, his brows furrowed as he stared at it.
"Perhaps that rumor was true."
"What rumor?" Lin Zao didn't react for a moment.
Tang Jian looked up and stared into Lin Zao's eyes.
"Perhaps these crystal cores are the key to your and the Celestial Master's arrival in our Great Zhou Dynasty."
Lin Zao stared blankly at Tang Jian, "You mean...?"
"I guess the Celestial Master must have mastered the secret method of time travel, and these crystal cores are the medium for time travel."
Lin Zao's mind was in chaos. She stood there, stunned. Recalling everything, she suddenly remembered something and asked Tang Jian urgently.
Do you know what the Celestial Master's real name is?
Tang Jian frowned and thought for a moment.
"I remember the prince mentioned to me once that the Celestial Master's real name was something like Ji... Suifeng."
"Ji Suifeng!" Lin Zao exclaimed in surprise.
Tang Jian's heart sank when he saw Lin Zao's reaction.
"You know him?"
"During the apocalypse, the administrator of the First Base was named Ji Suifeng, and he happened to have ice-type superpowers! However..."
Lin Zao hesitated for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Tang Jian asked quickly.
"It's just that we've never heard of Ji Suifeng going missing. When I left the apocalypse, Ji Suifeng was still at the First Base, and he was already a level 10 superpower expert."
Tang Jian was also somewhat puzzled.
"Could it be that the Celestial Master faked his death back then? Did he actually travel back in time?"
"It's not impossible." Looking at the fire-elemental crystal core in Tang Jian's hand, Lin Zao's mind was now clear.
"As far as I know, Ji Suifeng disappeared for half a year. When he reappeared, his superpower had increased from level five to level eight. Many people say that he had a miraculous encounter."
"Perhaps his extraordinary encounter was traveling back to the Great Zhou Dynasty," Lin Zao concluded definitively.
"Impossible!" Tang Jian vehemently denied.
"The Celestial Master appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty and passed away in a total of 10 years!"
Lin Zao understood Tang Jian's meaning, and she explained the matter of the wormhole to Tang Jian.
"So you mean the time difference caused by wormholes?"
"Yes, and I suspect that my time travel was also related to the Celestial Master." Lin Zao recalled the events leading up to and following her time travel.
"So you suspect that when the Celestial Master activated the time-travel technique, an accident occurred that caused you to travel here?"
"Yes, you know I am a space ability user. When I put those supplies into my space, I felt like my mental energy was completely drained. When I woke up, I had traveled to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Perhaps when the Celestial Master activated the space-time transfer, it resonated with my spatial ability, causing a space-time shift. Due to the uncertainty of time shifts, the Celestial Master returned to the apocalypse six months later, while I arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty a thousand years later."
Tang Jian remained silent for a long time after listening.
If what Lin Zao said is true, then the cause and effect of the Heavenly Master and Lin Zao's time travel have been explained, and he gradually became convinced that this might be the truth about time travel.
Tang Jian gripped the crystal core tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on Lin Zao.
"My wife... if we could really travel back in time, you..."
Although Tang Jian didn't say it, Lin Zao already understood what Tang Jian meant.
She reached out and hugged Tang Jian's lean waist, burying her head in his chest.
"Fool, I won't go back. Home is where you are."
Even if I go back, what difference will it make? My family won't be there anymore.
Lin Zao silently swallowed the rest of her words.
Tang Jian wrapped his arms around Lin Zao tightly, as if he were holding onto everything, but his eyes were filled with ruthlessness before turning to gentleness.
Even if you want to go back, I won't give you that chance!
Just as Lin Zao's family was happily eating, someone from the Prince's Mansion suddenly arrived with shocking news.
"The Second Prince has rebelled!"
