Sword and Magic and Taxi

Time passed slowly and painfully inadvertently, and then today arrived. On the far side of the moon relative to the Earth, a place invisible to 7.2 billion people, a pink aperture gradually expanded until it had a diameter of about 10,000 meters. Then, a giant Chimera spaceship with a black background and gold edges, full of gun barrels and a ferocious appearance slowly sailed out, accompanied by eight blue starfish spacecraft that were only fifty meters in diameter.

Yummy food, here I come! Xiaohua cheered on the bridge, and the food reserve also screamed excitedly. Zhao Mai put his hand on his forehead and sighed. He was still sitting on the golden throne, connected to wires, but with a smile on his face. You are just in the time stasis field, and you jumped to the present in the blink of an eye. I have been hungry for ninety years!

I can be hungry for you! My natural force is finally connected with you! Xiaohua said with a smile.

What you can do is stop playing around and go back and tell everyone that someone is coming. Xiaohua nodded and rushed out on the reserve grain. Zhao Mai waved his hand, and the Chimera spacecraft lowered the psychic barrier to allow the teleportation spell to pass. A sword light cut through the void, tearing open the space channel, and then the old man jumped out of it with a Hey! and looked at Zhao Mai with a smile.

Everything is fine in their health and life, don't worry. I asked the relevant ministries and commissions to write to your parents, saying that you are performing important tasks for the country overseas, please rest assured. Although you are in a remote and backward area, but the country is responsible for the Backing up, life and safety are guaranteed. The old man didn't even say hello, but came up and talked about what Zhao Mai was most concerned about.

Uh, why do I feel like I'm teaching in a primitive tribe in Africa?

The relevant ministries and commissions have indeed deliberately created such a feeling. The old man nodded: All the money your parents sent you is in a special account, and not a penny is missing. What's interesting is that they think you are there It’s normal to have no money to spend, and sending you money can make them feel more at ease.”

Thank you. Zhao Mai sat on the golden throne, leaned forward, and pulled the wire behind him. Enough of the good things to say, now it's time to say something ugly. Why did it take so long to open up the space?

It took me a long time to figure out what was going on. It took even more time to convince other detached people and reach an agreement. Of course, the most important reason is that I promised you that your parents and family will be safe and everything will not be affected. , this requires adjusting a lot of fate and events. Especially if you are the only one, the operations involved are more complicated. My ability is limited, I can only open the channel to let you come back this year, and I can’t make it any earlier.

I accept this explanation, it is very reasonable. Zhao Mai sat up straight and then asked: When you sent me away, did you know what I was going to go through.

I don't know, I didn't know at all at the time. The old man smoothed his beard, conjured a chair for himself to sit on, and then said: When you left, it was the time to retrace history for the Global Forgetting Curse. Before retracing, In other words, none of this history about another earth existed before you left.

Although I am a detached person, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. Before sending you away, I just had a vague feeling that I was being calculated and should send you away. I felt that doing so was necessary and right. I I don’t know where you will go or what will happen, but I do hope that you can have your own roots and go further. Your development is completely beyond my expectation, so your departure is combined with my retrospect, even It can influence all transcendent people, and then the story you experience becomes real history.”

I don't understand. Zhao Mai shook his head: Just when I sat on this throne, I saw your return. A few days later, you launched a retrospective and set the time back. But this is different from me being What does it matter if you send it back to the past? Who should go first and who lasts?

In Tai Chi, who comes first and who comes last? I think it is a process of mutual influence and mutual transformation. The transformation on the material level is like this, and the transformation on the time level is the same. The old man explained: All along, being traced back That period of time has not completely disappeared, but has been integrated into the new timeline in various forms to play a role. The old man before you left has also been traced back to my current state, but we are still the same after all, there is no difference . Although the two earths are parallel worlds, you have affected the original world in a special way. Here, you can see many examples. Of course, most of them are in various literary works, movies, and games.

These are all things I have seen before, and I have been inspired by them a lot. If I were to say that these were my influences, wouldn't it be an endless cycle?

Everyone will be inspired. Knowledge never comes out of thin air. Everyone's learning and understanding process can only follow his own time sequence. If you change your perspective midway, you will usually get confused.

Then I understand, my time has nothing to do with your time, so I learned them and not the other way around. Zhao Mai clarified the context of time. What on earth have you been busy with? If you hadn't left the throne, people wouldn't have thought there was a chance.

I will also have a lot of things that I don't understand, and I need to continue to learn and seek wisdom. Of course, the biggest reason is that I don't want future generations to continue to be bullied, let alone the annihilation of civilization. The old man said: So I went to other universes, other The world and other times seek wisdom.”

Aren't you worried about being kicked off if you keep your throne?

Worried, how can I not be worried. However, pressure and motivation are actually a pair of yin and yang. In any case, the result is satisfactory to me.

You go back in time, from August 1, 1927, to today, exactly 90 years before you opened the channel. I am trapped in this golden toilet like a prison, tortured by these wires...

There will definitely be torture, but I believe you can bear it. Anyway, do you think it's worth the risks I've taken and the pain you've suffered all these years?

It's worth it! Zhao Mai nodded. Anyway, these discomforts and grievances, as well as the overthrowing things there, now seem to be just a brushstroke, far less important than what you have done. After all, my life is not in danger, and everyone depends on me, so I don't I will be blocked, persecuted, slandered, and threatened; the power I have is invincible over there, I have a star fleet, and I don’t need to develop from scratch. I am just receiving electrotherapy... If I had known you would send I traveled through time for that purpose, and I will happily accept it, and it will feel better.

I didn't know what to expect before I sent you out.

Yes, you just followed your feelings. Zhao Mai rolled his eyes and motioned to the fire-wielding woman to serve tea to the old man - Legion Mushroom Tea. The old man looked at the tea that was as thick as porridge, raised his neck and drank it. He smacked it and said, Nutritious!

It's nutritious, but it's too unpalatable. Isn't that the reason why you gave me the nine-turn golden elixir a long time ago? The nine-turn golden elixir has taste but not nutrition, and the legion mushroom has nutrition but not taste. It's a perfect match. .”

Hahaha, unintentional, unintentional. The old man chuckled and waved his hands straight.

Zhao Mai felt that the matter was not that simple, but he could not provide any real evidence, so he snorted and said, Tell me, you must be waiting for me on the way out. You must have something important to explain.

The observer is dead, as are the elemental transcendents. The remaining transcendents have unanimously agreed to let you come back and open the passage between the two worlds. There is an explanation and a condition. The old man said: An explanation is: your enemy There was a plan to blackmail you by carrying out an attack on Venus. It was certain detachments that blocked such a plan, and you owed a favor. One condition is that these same detachments want to make peace with you. Differences and opinions are definitely still there. , but I don’t want everyone to escalate things to the level of a transcendent war. They are willing to compensate you.”

Oh? This is unexpected.
