"Isn't this how time can be traced back?" Momo was very curious about Bai Yi's words.
"Time can be said to be the most mysterious thing in the world. After careful reflection, I have a different understanding." Bai Yi said, pointing to the cup on the table with his right hand.
As Bai Yi and Momo watched, the lines on the cup gradually became dim and simple - then weathered - fell off - shattered - and finally turned into a pile of powder.
"millennium!"
"Look back!" Bai Yi said again, and then on the table, the pile of powder gradually condensed and returned to its original position like a movie going backwards, and then turned into a teacup that was as clean as new.
The whole process takes less than two minutes in total. Momo could see clearly that from beginning to end, the teacup had not actually changed, it was just a visual change that Bai Yi showed in her eyes. In other words, Bai Yi does not have the power to control time. He knows that this kind of power is too difficult.
"According to my understanding, this is the true form of time retrieval. When the time on an object flows backwards, it is called retrieval. From this teacup, to a single individual, and then to an area, or even the entire earth , resulting in time retrieval. However, this is fundamentally different from what Fang Jinshi encountered." Bai Yi flicked his right hand slightly, and once again showed different and more scenes in front of the two people.
A teacup, a person, a valley, an earth... appeared in front of Bai Yi and Momo.
Momo was very smart and quickly saw that although the things that were looked back in time were changing, the normal world outside had not changed at all. For example, when the tea cup goes back, the seat does not change; for example, when a person changes, his surrounding environment does not change; for example, when a valley goes back, the entire earth does not change; for example, when the entire earth goes back, The rest of the universe remains unchanged.
"And Fang Jinshi's time situation is..."
"Including him, the outside world has been completely shattered from the space rift back to the time when the space rift was just created. This is the earth being looked back!" Momo added.
"I don't think he has the power to change the entire world. It's so impossible." Bai Yi said.
"What if it's time travel?" Momo had never thought about this problem. When Bai Yi mentioned it, he couldn't help but start thinking very curiously.
"Your idea is the most common concept in the world. So, we might as well make a hypothesis, is the way time exists, whether it is ① the current time point, ② the eternal and complete time flow, or ③ different timelines ?" Bai Yi touched his right hand. On the far left, there is a simple cross section, with something like a river in the middle, and on the far right, there are countless crystal filaments arranged in parallel.
"The first is the current point in time. Although the past and the future are defined, they do not exist. The entire world only exists in the 'present' time." Bai Yi moved his right hand, and the cross section spread up and down. , but they are all phantoms, that is to say, they do not exist.
"The second type is the complete flow of time. The past, present, and future all exist." Bai Yi pointed to the actual river, which represents the flow of time.
"The third type is different timelines. Each timeline represents a different world. It must be clear here that this different world is not just the earth, but the entire universe, the complete world. There are countless times here The lines represent the different directions of the universe in countless timelines. The previous ① or ② are just the branches represented by one of the timelines." Bai Yi said.
"First of all, assuming that time travel is established, then the concept of the current point in time is eliminated. Because neither the past nor the future exists, and time travel makes it impossible to travel to a non-existent world."
"Secondly, the complete time flow can indeed travel from the future back to the past. For example, when the space rift is completely broken, it can travel to the top war period, because both time points exist forever. However, in this way, we also Another thing can be inferred, where are the source and end of the complete time stream?" Bai Yi asked, from the time stream, the positions representing the two time points continued to spread up and down.
"The starting point will not be the beginning that humans recognize, and the end point will definitely not be the moment when the space cracks are completely broken. And as I said just now, since it is an eternal time flow, then the next ten or two years after us will Ten years... a hundred years, until the day we fall, will exist forever, and... have been fixed for a long time!" Bai Yi moved upwards, and after the space cracks were broken, some subsequent scenes appeared on the time stream.
Momo was stunned for a moment, and she was deep in thought.
That’s right, it’s already been fixed!
The eternal flow of time is just like the scenes in a movie. Although it represents the so-called present at the moment it is shown, the trajectory has already been fixed.
"I don't think time will be an eternal flow of time, because if that is the case, what we do will have no meaning at all. Our thinking now, the choices we make later, what we call thinking, what we call variables , everything has been fixed in the time stream. Then, everything we have is meaningless, just like the scenes in the movie."
Such a world... makes no sense!
"Finally, there are the worlds represented by different timelines." Bai Yi said, pointing to the countless timelines at the end.
"Momo, you should know the so-called macro variables. A slight difference, after a long period of fermentation, can completely make the world go in a completely different direction." Bai Yi wiped it again, and pulled out two different times. line and then select an identical time point.
"At this point in time in the two timelines, everything is the same, but in the next moment, the two timelines are slightly different. In the first timeline, an ant crawled to the left. Chapter 1 In the two timelines, this ant crawled to the right." Bai Yi said, and then let the originally identical worlds in the two timelines evolve from that point in time. At first, the differences were very subtle, but after tens of thousands of years of changes, the two timelines have almost completely become different worlds.
Who can believe that the difference between the different worlds in these two timelines only comes from the fact that an ant chooses different directions when crawling
"I don't know the origin of each timeline, but after a long time. In countless timelines, it is absolutely impossible for two worlds with the same trajectory to appear." Bai Yi said.
"In other words, Fang Jinshi couldn't have jumped from another timeline similar to ours, right!" Momo looked at Bai Yi.
"That's it!" Bai Yi's eyes were very calm.
"Then the final result is...!" Momo and Bai Yi looked at each other.
Fang Jinshi's time retrieval cannot go back to the entire world; time travel is also untenable. The only eternal time flow that is established, that kind of world has no meaning!
"So, how does time exist?" Momo finally asked a question.
Bai Yi paused slightly, then shook his head: "I don't know, time is known as the most mysterious existence in the universe. Even I can't determine it now."
"That's right." Momo nodded. "So, if Dad, how do you feel about yourself, what will the time be like?"
"All time exists only at the current point in time."
"The simplest kind!" Momo was very surprised.
A slight smile appeared on Bai Yi's face, which would probably surprise many people. But Bai Yi is definitely not perfunctory. In Bai Yi's perception, the way of existence of time, a very mysterious thing in the outside world, is really simple. As for whether it is true, of course even Bai Yi himself cannot be sure.
"Then, get ready and go out." Bai Yi said to Momo.
"Yeah!" Momo nodded.
…
At this time, the battle was fierce in Hades and here in North America. This level of intensity and vastness is simply beyond imagination. It can be said that in this battle, the power possessed by Bai Minglou was fully revealed in front of everyone. If they had known that Bai Minglou had this power, many people might have made another choice, but at this time, they had no chance to retreat.
On the Hades side, Vera handed over Yihua Realm to Angrila, the original general-level master of the United Nations who possessed the Eye of Distortion. After absorbing and merging Momo's Nirvana, Angelela's left eye became the Pupil of Nirvana, a pupil technique full of the Buddha nature of reincarnation. The partner chosen for Angrila was the Deathwing Ferocious Beast, which was gathered and bred by Alice's power, a ferocious beast full of ferocity and murderous aura.
On the North American side, Woolf handed over Yihua Realm to Summerfield, who once served under Bai Yi and is currently the president of the Council of Light. After merging the heart and soul of the original captain Truman, Summerfield possessed a lava body, a powerful special physique. And his partner is the top ferocious beast that he went to Devil Island to conquer: Shoushan Fire Rock Turtle, a ferocious beast that matches his strength very well.
Needless to say, there were many twists and turns in the process. At this time, the two of them took Yihuajing without any hesitation.
If you hesitate, you won't wait until now. Now that we have decided to accept Vera and Woolf's request, we will not hesitate at this time.
Secret technique? Sublimation to the sky!
In the place of Hades and North America, a dazzling light suddenly rose. Angrila, the Deathwing Ferocious, as well as Summerfield and the Shoushan Fire Turtle, all gradually rose in the light, and their bodies became transparent as if they dissipated.
