Genius Club - Chapter 1463: Afterword 1: Truth Club
Chapter 1463: Afterword 1: Truth Club
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Gao Yang patted his smoking head:
“Alright, alright, don’t explain the principles, just tell me the result. So… are you saying you used this bizarre number 42 to block the World-Ending White Light at 00:42 on August 29, 2624?”
Lin Xian nodded:
“To be precise, it wasn’t eliminated, but blocked.”
“Actually, I blocked it before it arrived; however, I deliberately left a strand of white light shooting towards Earth as a little prank, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.”
“The high-dimensional perspective of 42 is enough for me to see and control everything. Those tiny units woven into ’guitar strings’ and ’threads’ allow me to play any ’music,’ draw any ’pattern,’ and weave any ’sweater’ I desire.”
Upon hearing this.
Gao Yang got goosebumps, rubbed his upper arm with a look of distaste:
“Please don’t tell me I’m one of those you stitched together with a sewing needle, making me feel like a zombie.”
“Of course not.”
Lin Xian chuckled lightly:
“Didn’t I just say? 42 is not only the smallest scale in the universe, but also the smallest scale in space-time, so… those guitar strings, or rather time lines and world lines, also connect past and future.”
“That simplifies things a lot, as for those things that have already passed or disappeared, you can directly ’pull’ them out from the past.”
“So theoretically, you weren’t ’woven’ back by me, but ’found’ back from time.”
An image-rich and apt analogy.
Somehow made Gao Yang understand.
Then he let out a scream:
“This is freaking amazing! If you’re so omnipotent now, then you must have saved Chu Anqing, haven’t you?”
“Quick, tell me! Quickly tell me you saved the little princess!”
Lin Xian patted Gao Yang’s shoulder, nodding solemnly.
“Oh my god…”
Upon hearing this tough answer, Gao Yang went limp, bent over, palms covering his face, obscuring his expression:
“That’s great…”
He pressed his lips, murmuring softly:
“That’s great…”
“To hear such good news, even if you blow me up now, I’d die with no regrets.”
Gao Yang rubbed his eyes and stood up straight again:
“But I still have many questions, what exactly is this Millennium Stakes that Chu Anqing was involved in? Who the hell is staking? Is it really aliens?”
“To be precise, it’s advanced civilizations in the universe.”
Lin Xian’s pupils extinguished the blue light:
“The universe is so vast, how could humans possibly be the only or even the earliest intelligent beings?”
“In that vast, boundless universe, there are countless civilizations and life forms, and the advanced civilization staking on Earth is just one of them.”
“Clearly, it’s a highly developed super civilization, with a long history and immense strength, far surpassing humans, named by Liu Feng as the ’Piling Civilization.’”
“What an awful name.”
Gao Yang snorted in disdain:
“But the worse it sounds the better! If it were me, I’d name them Big Villain Civilization!”
“You’re pretty cute.”
Lin Xian interrupted Gao Yang and continued:
“The Piling Civilization has actually been at war with another equally powerful advanced civilization, but to their level of strength, it’s no longer about starships, cannons, or laser blasts.”
“These high-level civilizations’ battles have reached the scale of timelines, they are ambushing each other’s history.”
“Wait a minute!”
Gao Yang made a stop gesture, puzzled:
“Ambush history?”
“How is this even possible? Could it be like in the ’Terminator’ movie, sending transmigrators back in time, killing you before you grow strong or wiping out your ancestors? Acting as Trans-time Assassins?”
“Damn, thinking about this, those advanced civilizations are quite cunning! Unable to win head-on, if no advantage can be gained, they directly battle on the scale of time and history!”
“That’s just dirty, who doesn’t have a weaker time? What adult didn’t grow up as a child? What advanced civilization didn’t evolve step by step from lesser civilizations? Isn’t this akin to college students beating preschoolers?”
“This seems unstoppable, doesn’t it?”
Gao Yang unusually showing intelligence began probing:
“Unless, like in ’Terminator,’ you can also travel back to protect your young self; but such warfare would be never-ending, how could you possibly cover every aspect on such a lengthy timeline?”
Lin Xian nodded:
“Hence, there is a need to ’Lock History.’
He used his right index finger as if it were a nail, pressing into the palm of his left hand:
“Lock your own history, preventing the enemies from altering or ambushing your past self; it’s the safest, most practical, and prudent method; and the tool used for locking history… is the ’Millennium Stakes.’
“Once the Millennium Stakes are driven, they lock down the already occurred history on that world line; the shorter the staking interval, the less Space-Time Elasticity, naturally providing more solid protection.”
Gao Yang raised his hand to ask again:
“But it doesn’t seem locked at all? Haven’t you changed the world lines many times already? These Millennium Stakes locked the history for nothing.”
“No.”
Lin Xian shook his head:
“You’ve misunderstood, Gao Yang. What I’ve always changed has been our perspective of the future, I’ve never altered history even once.”
“Moreover, as we keep jumping world lines, we’re searching for our way out. As for those failed world lines before, the purpose of the Piling Civilization’s locking history was fully achieved.”
