[Rebirth] Alien Royalty

Chapter 56

The sudden words of the rabbit made Lu Xiao a little unresponsive. Before he had time to ask what was going on, the rabbit sent the picture to his mind.

Different from the previous pictures, the picture Lu Xiao saw at this moment did not look like a scene somewhere in this world at all, with bright, twisted and rotating light, but nothing else.

Lu Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What is this place?"

"This is not a 'place'—although I said before that existences such as power bodies and souls are not limited by time and space, and can pass through parallel time and space, but it is not so easy for the power body to travel through time and space. In the distorted time and space At that time, you may experience that feeling more clearly. The picture you see now is the 'space-time gap'."

Lu Xiao was startled.

Space-time gap?

He thought that this kind of thing was just a concept, but he didn't expect that there would be a "visible" day...

And maybe it was also because he was facing such a strange and mysterious field, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Lu Xiao tried to concentrate, but quickly froze.

A sense of familiarity surged in my heart for no reason, and I always felt that I had seen this scene before.

... Was it his illusion?

There are still some light spots floating in the light cluster, like cotton wool, not many, rare, but enough to attract his attention, what are they?

"There are also many things in time and space that I don't know. After all, I have a different way of existence from living organisms, and many situations cannot be encountered. You will feel familiar with this place, probably because you have been to this place before." Rabbit said the explanation.

Been to this place?

The rabbit's words awakened Lu Xiao, and the sense of familiarity surged wildly.

With some hesitation, he threw out the power body with intuition, extending towards a certain direction in the void.

And as the sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger, the speed of the power body shuttle forward became faster and faster, and finally became swift and decisive.

Gradually, the light cluster dragged along, and the light spots were also elongated into thin lines. For a while, the empty space-time gap seemed to become a straight light path, and then other colors appeared on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the light path, as if It is like gradually approaching the beautiful world.

what is this?

There is always a feeling of seeing something soon!

Lu Xiao's breathing became short of breath, his heart was beating wildly - he stared at all this with wide eyes!

The colors were blurred due to the extremely fast shuttle speed of the power body, and Lu Xiao's brain felt dull pain, as if his soul was about to be pulled out, but he couldn't stop.

"...it seems a heavy burden on you to go through this place," said Rabbit.

Lu Xiao couldn't hear it anymore, he just shouted "Hurry up" "Hurry up" in his heart, and at the moment when his whole body collapsed into a string that was about to break, he rushed to the exit of this passage like he didn't care about himself——

In an instant, the light path disappeared.

Lu Xiao saw a blue planet against a dark background, quietly.

Lu Xiao was stunned, and stretched out a tentacles of his power body, like his hand, wanting to touch this planet... But at this moment, he was "bounced" back and fell on the bed!

Lu Xiao opened his eyes, sweating and panting, and couldn't recover for a while.

"You found it, Lu Xiao!" The rabbit appeared beside him, jumping up and down twice, "You found it!"

"Look... find what..." Lu Xiao said dully.

"Your original earth!"

The picture that just came into view suddenly jumped into his mind, Lu Xiao opened his eyes wide, and sat up suddenly: "Really...really!?"

"According to the original method, I should have searched for it planet by planet in the shape of the earth in your memory, but the situation when the 'time-space gate' opened is too special! You will feel familiar there because you have been there before. Passing through the gap of time and space, that is to say, you have indeed traveled from other parallel time and space! As long as you recall this incident, you can use your own memory to return to the origin of the passage you have stepped on! "

Lu Xiao stayed for a moment.

"Also... In other words, I have really found the earth?!" He said anxiously, "I want to see it again! Let's do it again!"

But this time he closed his eyes, and what he saw was the eternal universe outside the flying machine.

"As I said before, when time and space are distorted, it will be much easier for you to pass through time and space. Time and space distortion is an instant thing, and it has already passed, so if you want to see the earth again, you can only rely on Explore with your own 'feel'."

"How could this happen!" Lu Xiao covered his forehead and fell down. After a moment of annoyance, he said, "Then can you confirm which parallel time and space the earth I saw before is in?"

"Well, although I only touched it for a moment, I will never forget it. If you take the time and space you are in as the origin of coordinates, then the parallel time and space where your earth is located is vertically above this time and space, separated by three units. The location in time and space is actually very close.”

Lu Xiao laughed.

Unexpectedly, the position of time and space can be expressed in this way.And although it sounds like his time and space are indeed very close to him, if there is no time and space machine, no time and space elements, even if it is only one unit of time and space apart, it is still an unreachable distance!

For a moment, Lu Xiao felt that his eye sockets were a little hot, and with a smile on his lips, he turned over and lay on his side on the bed, thinking about his parents and his home in memory, and slowly fell asleep.

Arnold slowly opened his eyes, and then constricted his pupils because of the scene in front of him.

He lowered his head and glanced at the crystal necklace in his hand.

"The place where Austin is, is the 'halfway' of time travel... It's the gap between time and space..." Vera said to him before, "This thing I gave you contains a very small amount of time and space elements, and it can only be used in A time-space machine on a biological body, push the switch halfway to go to where your father is, and push it to the end to travel directly through time and space, there is no way to turn back halfway. I don’t know if this thing will take you to Where to go, but the space-time element is indeed in the hands of your father."

It's really a risky move, I hope Austin will not send him to a place that is too outrageous...

Thinking of this, Arnold walked "forward".

There is almost nothing on him, up, down, left, and right. Although he is walking, he can't see the ground under his feet, as if he is stepping in the void.There are only chaotic halos in this world, clusters of light that gather and disperse at times, and floating dots of light that are different from light clusters.

A speck of light floated past him, and Arnold tried to reach out to touch it, but unexpectedly, the speck of light melted directly into his fingertips and entered his body.Arnold was a little surprised.

Looking up, those spots of light are floating around, some of them are still stuck together, but they are constantly scattered, which is very strange.

He stopped after walking for a while.

The ball of light in front of it spun and drifted away, slowly moving away like a cloud, slowly revealing a figure behind it.

The man sat on the ground with his legs bent, his hands folded against his knees, and his face buried in his arms, as if he was resting on the side of the road.

Dark brown short curly hair, slightly longer than in memory.

He was wearing a black vest on his upper body, and a pair of loose trousers that seemed to have been washed and faded. He did not carry any weapons on his body.

Arnold looked at the man and said, "Austin."

After a while, the man's head moved and slowly raised his head.

The face bears the traces of the vicissitudes of time, and the familiar faces in the memory have become a little strange.

The moment he saw Austin's face, an unspeakable emotion rose in Arnold's heart, as if Hein's soul descended on him, and he was excited because he saw his father again after ten years.However, in an instant, this emotion was wiped away by Arnold.

Just like when he saw Vera, he knew that he would feel familiar and excited about this person, all because of Hein's memory.And he is not Hein after all, so Austin is not his father.

Healing the turmoil in his heart, Arnold raised a smile and said, "Father, I'm here to see you."

Austin stood up unsteadily, staring at Arnold motionlessly.

Arnold felt that he might be regarded as a phantom at this moment.

"...Hein?" The man's voice was hoarse and soft, as if he was muttering to himself, "I'm not dreaming..."

Arnold shook the necklace in his hand: "No, I have met my mother, and she handed this necklace to me with her own hands. So this place is 'the gap between time and space'?"

"..." Austin looked at him, with his mouth slightly open, silent, and his eyes were not clear.

Arnold lowered his hands and watched the man approaching until they were only two steps away.

As if waking up from a dream, Austin took half a step back in astonishment, looked at Arnold in disbelief, and his eyes quickly turned red.

"Father?" Arnold called again, smiling.

"He... Hein, it's really you... Am I dreaming?" Austin covered his forehead, his hands trembling slightly.

"That's right, I'm not a dream." Arnold sighed softly.

Austin still seemed a little overwhelmed: "I... how long have I been here?"

Arnold raised his eyebrows: "It is said that you gave this thing to your mother five years ago, so it has been five years since then."

"Five years...five years have passed?" Austin murmured, "In other words, it has been ten years since we separated?"

Then he realized something, showing a complex expression, a little surprised, but also a little sad: "Hein, you are already 25 years old? You... How did you feel after I sent you into the escape cabin? I'll go I've looked for you, but I can't find you at all, so I wondered if you might have changed your name and appearance—" He took a sudden step forward, pressed Arnold's shoulder, and looked at his face with concern. The whole body is up and down, as if to see if he is okay.

Arnold let him fiddle with it, laughing and telling his fabricated lies: "Well, after a while after I entered the escape cabin, I met a couple who were traveling and were picked up by them. Live under a false identity."

"Really," Austin hugged Arnold very hard, and his voice choked up, "I didn't expect to see you again, kid! I'm right here waiting for you!"

Arnold patted Austin on the back lightly, his face unmoved.

"Can you tell me what happened to you in the past ten years? I want to know!" Austin let go of Arnold and said happily, "How have you been in the past ten years?"

Arnold smiled: "We still have a lot of time to talk about this kind of thing after we leave here..."

"Ah, don't worry, time is stopped in this place, it doesn't matter how long we chat!"

"Time stops?" Arnold said, "So what happened to you in the past five years from the outside world?"

"I used the same thing to enter this space-time gap." Austin took out a dark blue crystal pendant that was exactly the same as Arnold's from the pocket of his trousers behind him. A single item of time travel."

"What do you mean?"

"Whether to travel, isn't time and space divided?" Austin smiled and explained patiently, "The space-time vortex allows people to reach another place while arriving at a different point in time. But this time-space machine only sets the time limit." Shuttle is a space-time machine that allows people to reach the world of 'seven days later'. Although you are talking face-to-face with me now, we are actually on different timelines. If we push the switch on this time-space machine to At the end, leaving this space-time gap, there will still be a five-year gap between the world you arrive at and me."

"In other words, what you arrived at was the world of 'seven days later' after the day you drove this space-time machine five years ago?" Arnold understood, but soon he remembered another important thing, "... If it is to reach the future, it is impossible not to be accompanied by the creation of more parallel worlds in the future. You said that this space-time machine is only set up to travel through time, which means that according to which possibility it is completely possible to reach the world of "seven days later" random?"

Austin looked at him, smiled, and nodded.

Arnold frowned.

Many things can happen in seven days, and the same branch can develop more branches, and the world of "seven days later" that he travels through this time channel is completely random?
