Void gap, gray fog sea.

The two people suspended in the empty space of the sea of ​​fog slowly opened their eyes.

One of them smiled, looked at the other, and then his body twisted and disappeared.

Looking at the direction where Zuo Yu left, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It has been more than a year, nearly two years, since he woke up from the void.

And it was not until today that he finally possessed a body of flesh and blood that could truly accommodate his own consciousness.

The two clones, Lin Zhongtian and Zuo Yu, have been completely refined into external incarnations by his main consciousness.

From then on, Lin Zhongtian no longer needed the gray fog as a medium to bring his consciousness upon his incarnation, and he didn't have to worry about his physical body collapsing on its own because it couldn't bear the pressure.

The power and status of the two clones were greatly enhanced as a result, with the most significant improvement being the power of authority.

In the gap of virtual space, Lin Zhongtian's main consciousness has been able to influence the flow of time in a small range, and thus created a time practice house.

Now, his two incarnations also possess the power of authority over time.

However, these space-time authorities will be greatly weakened outside the void.

Lin Zhongtian tore open the space crack and came to the Godfather world that was completely under the control of the Alliance. After a little experiment, he found that he could only speed up or slow down the time by 1-2 times in a small area of ​​20 miles.

This number is naturally incomparable to the power in the void.

But authority is authority after all.

For an existence like Lin Zhongtian, it is a very important threshold, which can be used to leverage many forces that transcend authority itself.

Lin Zhongtian was suspended in the sky above Washington, his dark eyes shimmering with silver light.

From his high-dimensional perspective mixed with the authority of time, the city in front of him suddenly moved. Countless pedestrians on the street left long afterimages, and the towering high-rise buildings also turned into irregular polygons in his eyes...

Three minutes later, the silver light in Lin Zhongtian's eyes faded, and he then turned his gaze to a crossroads seventeen kilometers away.

If he was not mistaken, in fifteen seconds, there would be a serious rear-end collision at that intersection.

One, two, three...fourteen, fifteen!

"Bang!"

The vehicles rear-ended each other, and the front car was hit by the rear car and moved sideways.

Various exclamations, curses, and car alarms sounded simultaneously at the intersection.

Lin Zhongtian nodded slightly. As he had expected, a car accident happened at the intersection.

It was only because of his intentional intervention that the car accident did not cause any loss of life, but it did trigger a vicious fight.

As the sirens sounded, the nearest police car drove over quickly. Lin Zhongtian no longer paid attention to the road below, but instead tore through space and came to the Christian world belonging to God.

…

…

Walking out of the portal, there was a dark and damp street in front of me.

The Gothic buildings on both sides of the street stood quietly, shrouded in shadows under the quiet moonlight. There was no one around, and there seemed to be an eerie atmosphere.

The night wind blew, blowing up several flyers that had fallen off the ground due to poor adhesion.

Lin Zhongtian casually took a picture of it and looked down, only to see a familiar person's portrait printed on the flyer.

"Van Helsing, Europe's most wanted criminal, has been accused of murder, robbery, theft, etc...."

Seeing the text description below the photo, Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched.

This is not a flyer at all; it is clearly Van Helsing's wanted poster.

After not seeing him for many days, this guy's situation has become increasingly miserable.

He was just a minor celebrity before, but now he has been promoted to Europe's most wanted criminal!

Suddenly, Lin Zhongtian seemed to realize something and immediately turned to look at the end of the street.

I saw an old cardinal wearing a red hat and a golden cross necklace on his chest who appeared there at some point. He was wearing a monocle and was slowly tearing off the wanted poster on the street lamp with his old hands.

Seeing this, Lin Zhongtian smiled and walked towards the cardinal.

"Is this your incarnation on earth?"

"As you understand it, yes."

The cardinal tore off Van Helsing's wanted poster, turned around and looked at Lin Zhongtian and said with a smile: "How come you have time to come visit me?"

Lin Zhongtian's face straightened and he said seriously, "I have a question I want to ask you."

The cardinal showed a thoughtful look on his face and nodded, "You go ahead."

Lin Zhongtian was not polite and told the cardinal, or Jehovah, everything he had just seen.

After listening to this, the cardinal smiled and said, "It's just predicting the future and knowing the past. It's nothing to you. Just watch it more and get used to it!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Of course I know that. What I want to ask you is, when I was observing the future from a high-dimensional perspective, what exactly was that looming ribbon-like magnificent object?"

The cardinal tore up the wanted poster and said slowly, "That is the long river of time."

"...The long river of time?" Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully, "Isn't that a metaphor? Is there really such a thing?"

The cardinal stopped what he was doing, looked at Lin Zhongtian and smiled, "As you said, it is indeed an easy-to-understand metaphor, but it is also a real wonder. You are using the authority of your original body to browse the long river of time from a higher perspective and reflect it in reality. This is the so-called foreknowledge of the future and understanding of the past..."

Lin Zhongtian wondered, "Then why can't I really see the existence of the long river of time?"

The cardinal shook his head and chuckled, "You have already seen it, but its form of existence is beyond your current cognition, so you subconsciously concretize it into something you can recognize - for example, a long river."

Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully: "I think I understand what you mean."

The cardinal glanced at him and shook his head, "No, you don't understand. If you want to truly understand how the River of Time works, you still have a lot to learn and a lot of rules to understand..."

Lin Zhongtian humbly asked: "Then can you teach me?"

The cardinal laughed and immediately stretched out his hand, indicating that he would pay for the goods with one hand.

Lin Zhongtian twitched his lips and said helplessly: "Can I buy it on credit first? I really don't have any extra source world souls here."

The cardinal thought about it and nodded, "That's fine, but in this case, I can only pay half of the deposit first and briefly answer a few of your questions."

"make a deal!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded decisively, and then asked: "I want to know how the river of time works."

"Which of these views, the so-called 'time loop', 'grandmother paradox', 'what has happened has already happened', and 'affecting the past will lead to parallel universes', is correct..."

The old cardinal couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"You're really rude..."

"However, the points you mentioned are actually correct."

“…are they all correct?”

Lin Zhongtian frowned and said in surprise: "How is this possible? Some opinions are simply contradictory!"

The cardinal smiled and said, "It is naturally contradictory to put them in the same world, but it is not contradictory to put them in different worlds!"

Lin Zhongtian understood what he meant instantly, and immediately said in astonishment: "You mean, the time river in each world is different, and its operation method and time rules are also different?"

"That's right."

The cardinal nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Just like the world I created, although it allows time travel, it also has a certain degree of self-regulation ability and will try its best to return history to its original form, which is the so-called destiny..."

What a bad fatalistic setting!

Lin Zhongtian curled the corner of his mouth, not wanting to speak out the complaints in his heart.

The cardinal continued in a leisurely tone, "With your current strength and the power of time, you can easily browse the long river of time, and even select time nodes from outside the world and travel freely, but I don't recommend you do this."

"Why?"

"Because your power has exceeded the recovery threshold of the long river of time in a single universe. Once you travel through the long river of time at will, or even change the fate of the past and the future, it will inevitably cause the long river of time to become disordered, and then cause the entire universe to collapse and fall."

As he spoke, the cardinal sighed and said, "When you create the world yourself, you will understand that for us, the so-called long river of time is just a delicate glass bottle that needs to be carefully cared for, otherwise it will be easily broken by a force that exceeds the threshold..."

...I seriously doubt you are in Versailles!

Lin Zhongtian complained in his heart, but asked seriously, "What if it is not a single universe? I mean the multiverse world with extremely high energy levels that has long been riddled with holes by various superpowers."

The cardinal thought about it and nodded, "That should be fine. The time in this world is extremely strong. I can't say for your original body, but this clone should be able to travel freely. However, you still have to pay attention to the local time rules and don't break them at will."

"I see."

Lin Zhongtian nodded, and then asked: "If I encounter such a world, how should I choose the time node to travel through?"

The cardinal smiled and said, "It's very simple. If you can do it, you can do it!"

Listening to your words is like listening to a conversation.

Lin Zhongtian was confused, but the cardinal did not answer. He just waved his hand gently and sent him out of the world.

"Think about it yourself. Next time you visit me, don't come empty-handed!"

“…”

Lin Zhongtian twitched the corner of his mouth, his body emitting silver light, standing in the void.

After a little thought, Lin Zhongtian tore open the space crack and followed the space-time anchor point back to the virtual space gap.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhongtian took another step forward, crossing the space and arriving in front of a silver coordinate ball.

This is a very peculiar high-energy world. Lin Zhongtian had discovered it a long time ago, but he had never gone in to explore it, nor did he dare to solidify the coordinates of this world in the Traveler Square.

"If this is this world, you should be able to bear it, right?"

As Lin Zhongtian thought so, his eyes flashed with silver light as he looked at the silver ball of light.

If this world doesn't work, then he can only try his luck in the Marvel world...
