551: Looking back into the past and traveling into the future
Boom, boom~!
The sound of empty footsteps echoed in the dark space.
Zuo Chongming and Long Zu walked side by side and looked at this luxurious palace that was not damaged at all and was well-preserved in amazement.
After dealing with Nezha, Longzu opened a hole in the ground as usual, and the two of them stayed in it to recuperate and recover from their injuries.
When they were almost recovered, they began to study the key from Lingxiao Palace.
This thing seems to have a positioning function. When Zuo Chongming tried to transfer his true energy into it, he keenly sensed the existence of a certain place.
Following this inexplicable feeling, the two of them carefully avoided the battlefields of those big guys, and it took them several months to find the place.
"I didn't expect that."
Dragon Ancestor clicked his tongue and sighed: "The ancient catastrophes almost reduced Heaven to ruins, but this place is still well preserved."
"Ahem..."
Zuo Chongming coughed and glanced at the ruby hangings on the wall, with different reliefs: "It's not well preserved, it's deliberately hidden."
Long Zu slapped his head: "Speaking of this, what's going on with this key? Just now you said about going back to the past, what do you mean?"
"I... I'm not sure yet."
Zuo Chongming pondered and said: "According to my understanding, I got Yang Jian's mantra rune and then went to Lingxiao Palace."
"My series of actions contributed to a certain precondition, which triggered a phenomenon similar to time travel and space retrieval."
"At that time, a banquet was being held in the Heavenly Court, and the ancient alien race had not yet arrived, but the Jade Emperor, Sanqing and others all knew about the existence of the ancient alien race."
"Based on the mantra rune in my hand, I was noticed by Yang Jian and saw it. Then the Jade Emperor and Sanqing also noticed my existence."
"I had a brief exchange with them. Before I left, I hoped they could leave some legacy. Then the Jade Emperor patted the armrest..."
Long Zu's expression was extremely weird, as if he was looking at a retarded person: "Is this key hidden in that armrest?"
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming nodded.
"...You let me stroke it."
Longzu rubbed his head and said distressedly: "We came to Heaven and met Yang Jian. Yang Jian said that he had met you and gave you the mantra."
"Let's go to the Lingxiao Palace again, and then you will trigger the space regression and go back to the past to communicate with the Jade Emperor, Sanqing and others..."
"It was at that banquet that Yang Jian noticed you through the aura of mantra from the same source, so he said he had seen you?"
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming continued to nod.
Long Zu's eyes couldn't help but stare, he chewed his teeth and said: "Ah, isn't this a cycle? Isn't this too weird?"
"Are you sure you really went back in time and really communicated with them? It's not that you had a brain cramp and had some illusion or hallucination?"
Zuo Zhongming raised the key in his hand and said helplessly: "What do you think?"
"..."
Long Zu fell into silence.
He finally understood why Zuo Chongming didn't understand.
Anyone who encounters something so bizarre, illogical, contrary to common sense, and has never happened before, will be confused.
But having said that, this bitch Zuo Chongming is indeed perverted. He is still so calm until now. It's really Tinglipu...
Involuntarily, Long Zu thought of their exchange with Yang Jian.
Zuo Chongming said at the time that his memory seemed to have been modified...
Damn, such a terrifying thing, coming out of his mouth, was as plain as drinking boiled water. It was really creepy.
"In other words."
Dragon Ancestor frowned and said: "In fact, the Heavenly Court back then already knew the result of their failure long before the arrival of the ancient alien races?"
Zuo Chongming thought about it carefully and carefully corrected his language problem: "If they believe what I said, then what you said is correct."
Long Zu was very helpless at his actions of picking out words, and said angrily: "I have left you the key, of course I believe what you say..."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Zuo Chongming shook his head with a smile: "Think about it from your perspective. If a person appeared in front of you one day, claiming to be from the future, and then told you that he was about to die, would you believe it?"
Long Zu was silent for a moment and sighed: "Of course I don't believe it...I can't say I don't believe it at all. If that person were you, with your sharp tongue, I might be half-convinced."
"Isn't this enough?"
Zuo Chongming shrugged: "Under the premise of being half convinced, they must make two preparations. One is to prepare for the war against the ancient aliens without accepting their fate, and the other is to leave a way out just in case."
"That's right, that makes sense."
Dragon Ancestor nodded and said thoughtfully: "They must have doubted your words at that time, so they tried their best to deal with the ancient alien races."
"It's a pity that they were defeated in the end, but fortunately they left a way out, which is your key."
"uh-huh."
Zuo Chongming was noncommittal, but there was still a trace of doubt between his brows.
Although the logic of what he just said was very logical, he still didn't quite understand it.
In other words, the logical process of the whole thing they discussed is based on the idea that space can be retraced.
But according to the existing theoretical basis, the movement of space is irreversible, which means that reverse flow cannot happen...
"Wait! No!"
Zuo Chongming's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes flashed with an aggressive look: "It's impossible to travel backwards in space, but that doesn't mean you can't deduce the future."
Long Zu was stunned: "Ah? Why are you so crazy?"
Zuo Chongming licked his lips and said solemnly: "Our cognitive logic has a common framework error."
Long Zu’s head was full of greetings, and then his eyes looked strange: “…speak in human language.”
Zuo Chongming considered it and said: "To put it simply, everything I experienced just now is not what I thought it was. It goes back to the past..."
"It's that Heaven at that time, through some means, briefly came to the future, and then interacted with me for information."
"From our perspective, we are indeed going back in time. But in fact, it is the heaven of that time that has traveled to the present."
The corner of Long Zu's mouth twitched: "This... well, I... although I don't understand it, I am shocked. Is there any point in worrying about this?"
Zuo Chongming shook his head and sighed inexplicably: "Whether it makes sense depends on how you understand it."
"for example?"
Long Zu motioned for him to continue making up... No, keep talking.
Zuo Chongming said solemnly: "Judging from the results, it is basically meaningless, because even if Heavenly Court traveled to the future and got some information from my mouth, it would still lose to the ancient alien race."
"Judging from the process, perhaps because of their actions, they were prepared in advance, which caused the ancient alien tribes to suffer even greater losses."
"Besides, based on this matter, they were mentally prepared to leave a way out and left a legacy to us now."
Longzu couldn't help but complain: "Maybe it's not a legacy, but a trap."
From ancient times to the present, so-called opportunities in secret realms and ancient inheritances... are all traps in all likelihood.
Ask yourself, how many people will deliberately build a large tomb when they are about to die, leaving a machine test to give to the destined people in the future?
So, any bullshit secret realm and inheritance are all nonsense. They are probably a trap dug by some old guys, the kind of trap that kills people without paying for it.
Zuo Chongming raised his chin: "Is it a legacy or a trap? You'll know if you take a look at it?"
