Xiong Zhi wandered alone in this blue space, a space without end, without limits.
"The Time Fragment of Earth is so scarce..." Xiong Zhi wondered when they would find it, but Zero said that time does not flow in this space, so many Time Fragments are manifested here in the form of "moments."
This means that Xiong Zhi can search indefinitely until they find the fragments. Although it is tedious, there is no risk of dying here without finding anything.
"It's quite boring to search here..." Xiong Zhi said impatiently, "Zero, you take over."
Zero began to control Xiong Zhi's body, searching back and forth in this space. Meanwhile, Xiong Zhi's consciousness took a rest.
"I wonder how Lan is doing on Earth in 2008... It's fine; she can adapt for a while."
About six days later.
"Sir, this." Zero awakened Xiong Zhi's consciousness.
When Xiong Zhi looked, there was a Time Fragment before them. The fragment displayed a black hole facing a White Hole, with a young boy struggling in the middle.
Xiong Zhi's memories were suddenly awakened.
"This is... the day I crossed over?" Xiong Zhi was stunned, then looked at their own plain clothes.
"I knew it; the person I met back then looked very much like me... So that was me..." Xiong Zhi remembered that just before being forced to cross over while still being Ziyu, they saw a man who looked exactly like themself, wearing a Linen Robe.
"Sir, you can only enter this Time Fragment now. I am searching for this as well," said Zero.
"Why?"
"The past has already happened, and you will appear before your past self, which is now. If you do not enter, the past, including your memories, will be altered, and everything will change."
Xiong Zhi woke up. Yes, if he did not do this, then the past and his experiences would be different, and what he had done would certainly change some of the events that had already occurred.
Perhaps the story would be different.
"Sir, please consider carefully."
"Hah..." Xiong Zhi smiled slightly. "The past has already happened; how can it be changed?"
Xiong Zhi tried to approach the Time Fragment, and that piece of space-time suddenly emitted a powerful attraction that pulled Xiong Zhi in.
In fact, Xiong Zhi thought this way because the moment Ziyu crossed over in the past had already been decided; at that time, Ziyu saw Xiong Zhi, indicating that Xiong Zhi would definitely arrive in this space-time.
It was a complex relationship, but it indeed existed.
Xiong Zhi was swept away by the powerful attraction, just like how Lan was drawn away by the immense force in 2008.
Xiong Zhi's consciousness momentarily entered a suspended state, halting all life activities.
"This..." Xiong Zhi regained consciousness and found himself before a black hole. Streams of Particle Stream passed by him but did not harm him.
Moreover, Xiong Zhi could no longer control his body.
"Sir, I am controlling your body... but I have a problem to inform you..." Zero said slowly.
The vacuum environment here would cause Xiong Zhi's body to explode due to blood pressure, so Zero occupied Xiong Zhi's body before he regained consciousness, releasing sword energy to counteract the black hole's gravitational pull, blood pressure expansion, and particle penetration.
However, Zero felt that releasing sword energy in this place was extremely exhausting, and he believed that as long as they were outside the gravitational range of this black hole and White Hole, they would be unable to release sword energy!
The black hole and White Hole facing each other might have distorted the space, allowing the nearby spatial structure to resemble that of ancient times. It is very likely that, over time, the surrounding space no longer met the conditions necessary for releasing sword energy.
Moreover, Zero temporarily blocked Xiong Zhi's perception of the air; otherwise, Xiong Zhi would have been doomed by now.
In other words, the reason Xiong Zhi could appear safely was entirely due to the special spatial structure of the nearby black hole and White Hole, along with Zero's exploitation of his own physical potential.
"Sir, I will release a sword energy to ionize the nearby particles, generating lightning, and then quickly grab the metal plate on your past self to bring my past self to Ziyu's side and merge with him," Zero said.
Xiong Zhi indicated he was mentally prepared.
The scene not far away felt very familiar; it was the same event but from a different perspective. Xiong Zhi experienced it once again.
The past Ziyu shattered and then appeared before Xiong Zhi, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Under Zero's control, Xiong Zhi reached out and grabbed the metal plate on Ziyu. Then he vibrated the sword energy to create a bolt of lightning and infused the data inside into the lightning before launching it.
At this moment, Ziyu was left with only his soul, which merged with the lightning.
"Sir, everything that needed to be done has been done," Zero said. "Your body is about to reach its limit; we should head to the Space Station immediately."
Although there was still a bit of danger, both of them felt somewhat excited.
Xiong Zhi quickly arrived in front of the Space Station and looked at the keyboard before him, feeling very familiar.
"Sir, it's nostalgic."
"Hey hey..." Xiong Zhi quickly entered the password and then accessed the Space Station.
Xiong Zhi stood in front of the Supercomputer, placing two electrodes on his head, and then connected the current.
"Start separating my soul from Zero... copying..."
Soon, the Metal Plate was filled with data.
The Metal Plate vibrated slightly and then emitted a sound.
"Sir... I have returned?"
Xiong Zhi looked at the lines of data on the screen: "Yes, you have returned. Now, I am still Ziyu, no longer Xiong Zhi."
Xiong Zhi was his identity in that world; in this world, he was still Ziyu.
"Zero, with my current abilities, it won't be long before I can confront the organization. By then, I will know exactly what the organization has been doing. It's just that... I won't be able to see Lan for a while..." The man in the Linen Robe smiled bitterly, unsure if he was truly speaking to "Zero" or just talking to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not long after.
Zero was busy calculating and had now obtained preliminary results.
"Sir..." Zero said, "We originally belonged to this timeline, so our return does not affect this timeline. However, Lan... she is not from this timeline, so her sudden appearance will definitely alter the structural framework of time and space..."
What Zero meant was that Lan's arrival would change the original structure of time and space. For example, if Lan is twenty years old and arrives here, time and space would automatically "fabricate" an identity for her; her first twenty years would also exist in this timeline.
Because time and space do not allow an existence that does not belong here to appear abruptly, this would affect its stable operation.
Changing time and space will alter the past, but not everything will change. For example, if Lan appears in a small village and only the people of that village know her, then time and space only need to change for that small village.
Those who come into contact with Lan, or those whose paths naturally intersect with hers due to the arrangement of time and space, will be changed. In their lives, they will naturally think of Lan as someone they know... Lan also has parents and relatives in this time and space...
Just like Ziyu, when he arrived in ancient times, time and space also gave him an identity... Not only because he is in a spiritual form... but giving him a form of birth to appear in that world is the least impactful.
"Isn't that better... Lan can integrate into this society more easily," Ziyu said.
"No, time and space give Lan an identity, which means there is a past belonging to this time and space for Lan. However, Lan does not have this in her mind... it might bring her confusion..." Zero replied.
"Come on... Lan is so grown up; can’t she handle such a small matter? It shouldn't lead to a split personality..."
[End of Chapter]
[PS: The explanation about time and space is a bit messy... sigh... it's hard to articulate clearly; it's a complex matter. Did you all understand it?]
[Actually, the events related to ancient times will appear again later on, just one chapter's worth, when Ziyu passes by there...]
