Twelve days ago.
Seven figures in gray cloaks passed through the beast's esophagus and came to the dark stomach wall.
The figure in gray robe wearing a vortex mask raised his palm slightly, and two huge purple vortices opened at the same time. One of them sucked in all the seawater in the stomach wall, and the other blocked the outside of the esophagus, preventing the outside seawater from rolling in.
In just a few seconds, the seawater in the stomach wall was drained.
Wang Mian raised his head and stared at the Yuan Yuan pierced deeply into Chen Yangrong's chest and the slowly rotating ring of light at its tail, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Captain, that knife is exactly the same as yours?!" Xuanwu looked at the knife on Chen Yangrong's chest, then at Yi Yuan on Wang Mian's waist, and said in shock, "With your knife, could it be that they are still a couple?" payment?"
"" Wang Mian said helplessly, "That's Yi Yuan, but it doesn't belong to this time."
Tian Ping frowned and thought for a long time, "Could it be that that knife is?"
"Well, it should be my saber from the future that the Night Team encountered before." Wang Mian nodded.
"Awesome, Captain!" Qiangwei said excitedly, "Doesn't that mean that you will definitely break through and become a god in the future?"
"Of course, the captain is now about to break through the ceiling of becoming a human being. Is becoming a god still far away?" Yue Gui agreed.
"It's hard to say, as the timeline changes, the future will also change." Wang Mian shook his head.
"You mean, if you in the future go back to the present and change the timeline, it will have an impact on your future?" Tian Ping asked doubtfully, "But if the present is changed, the future trajectory will also be deflected. If he ends up If you don’t become a god and don’t return to the present, then won’t the paradox of the present not being changed arise?”
Wang Mian shook his head, "You are talking about the 'grandmother's paradox' in the traditional sense, which is different from my temporal mob principle.
Every pantheon of the world has the God of Time, but their ruins are also somewhat different. The time thugs that Kronos gave me are 'out-of-time disorderly maniacs'. After possessing this ruins, Even if I go back in time and change history, the change in the timeline will not affect my established past.
To use the grandmother paradox, even if I go back in time and kill my grandmother, I will not disappear because of her death.”
"Then you can go back to the past and change history unscrupulously?" Xuanwu opened his mouth in shock.
Tian Ping walked up behind him, slapped him on the back of the head, and couldn't help but curse, "What nonsense are you talking about? The captain has just gone back to the past and changed history twice, and now it has become like this without any cost?"
"There is indeed a price." Wang Mian nodded slightly, "The backlash of cause and effect caused by tampering with the timeline will greatly shorten my lifespan. The longer I go back, the greater the butterfly effect caused by changing the timeline. The bigger it is, the more terrible the reduction in life span will be.
Although the two previous time regressions did not last more than one day, the butterfly effect they caused was too strong, so cumulatively, they shortened my life span by nearly twenty years. "
Wang Mian's two time backtrackings were both a few hours in the past to warn the night watchmen of the coming foreign enemies. Although the backtracking time was not much, tens of millions of people survived because of his early warning. , such a huge backlash of cause and effect is exerted on others, and the loss of life span caused by it is naturally also an extremely terrifying level.
Seeing the king's gray temples and haggard face, everyone in the Masked Team fell into silence.
When Wang Mian went back in time for the first time, he was less than twenty years old. Even though his lifespan was shortened by several years, he was still young and powerful, so they didn't notice it, but it wasn't until Wang Mian went back in time for the second time some time ago. After going back in time, they found that Wang Mian was obviously older.
They also guessed that this might be the sequelae of Wang Mian's time retrieval, but they never expected that the price would be twenty years of life.
How many twenty years can life last
After going back in time twice, Wang Mian, who was supposed to be only 26 years old, jumped directly to the age of nearly 50 years old. His best and most precious youth time disappeared in just an instant.
Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, the king smiled slightly and said:
"Don't be so pessimistic. I am the agent of the God of Time. Maybe after I become a god, I can have an endless lifespan."
Wang Mian's comfort did not seem to dispel everyone's low mood. The afterglow of the whirlpool slightly swept over everyone. After a moment of silence, he scratched his head and laughed: "Captain, after you become a god, don't forget us!
Although it doesn’t necessarily make us stay young forever or anything, it shouldn’t be too much to extend our vacation by a few days, right? "
Hearing Uzumaki's joke, everyone rolled their eyes, and the originally dull atmosphere became lively again.
At this moment, the old man who was nailed to the stomach wall by Yi Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Are there a few rats that got in here?" Chen Yangrong said calmly, "If you want to survive, pull out this knife from my chest. When I get out, I will repay you well."
The moment his voice echoed in the dim space, everyone in the Masked Team immediately tensed up. They looked at each other, and King Mian's voice quietly emerged in the minds of others.
"In the future, I inserted Yi Yuan into his chest. There must be something wrong with this old man. I will sense the timeline contained in that closed loop. You guys can help me stall for time."
After the words fell, Wang Mian slowly closed his eyes, connected his divine ruins with the Yuanyuan on Chen Yangrong's chest, and quickly flipped through the timeline in the flowing light circle.
Xuanwu nodded imperceptibly, turned to look at the old man on the stomach wall, and pretended to be dumbfounded and said:
"Repay? Really? What can I do in return?"
Chen Yangrong was stunned. It seemed that he didn't expect that someone actually believed this nonsense, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Oops! I met a fool!
"Supreme power, endless lifespan, whatever you want, I can give you!"
"Supreme? How high? Higher than 'Klein'?"
"Much higher than that."
"Wow, you're so awesome!"
""
While the two were having a meaningless conversation, Wang Mian's brows furrowed more and more tightly. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes and his face became more solemn than ever before.
"Oops," he muttered to himself as he looked up at the dark stomach wall.
"What's wrong?"
Qiangwei noticed the change in Wang Mian's expression and asked worriedly.
Wang Mian turned around, took a deep breath, calmed down his chaotic thoughts, and spoke seriously:
"Next, you must listen to every word I say."
