Chapter 233

【Phantylia No. 3: After adding the variable of "Tingyun's" body, she entered a state of obsession after only 120 cycles; obviously, even an Emanator will doubt life when encountering things she cannot understand.】

【Phantylia No. 78: After realizing that the corpse of "Tingyun" was "herself," her behavior changed from confusion to aggression, starting to attack the shadows of the past and future.】

【Phantylia No. 156: After solving three of herself, she seemed to realize something and chose to end herself, seemingly wanting to summarize the cycle. Unfortunately... this is also a part of the cycle.】

Lin Qi recorded it over and over again.

Recording his doubts about the Emanator one by one in this way.

Then he reached a conclusion.

【Conclusion: An Emanator is still a "person"; even a Heliobus made of energy cannot escape emotions such as fear and terror, especially when facing things she cannot understand.】

【Conclusion 2: After falling into a time loop, without external interference, it is impossible for an Emanator to escape the cycle on her own; at least this avatar cannot; she will fall into this eternal prison.】

【Conclusion 3: There are still many mysteries about time that have not been solved; although these cycles were specially arranged by me, it seems... the same person can only exist once in the same space-time. If there are more than two existences, they will inevitably fall into slaughter. Until only one is left.】

Looking at the three conclusions he summarized.

Lin Qi fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which.

At first, Lin Qi's purpose was not this.

He just came to watch the excitement.

By the way, explore the remains of the Aeon.

Didn't expect.

The Emanator of Destruction appeared halfway.

Immediately.

Lin Qi had an idea.

Wanted to experiment with some characteristics of an Emanator, as well as his mastery of time.

Yes.

Everything Phantylia experienced was done by Lin Qi.

After Phantylia's avatar boarded the ship, Lin Qi used the Synesthetic Dream to cover the Xianzhou merchant ship and used the time ability he had mastered.

Thus.

There was the situation of Phantylia entering the cycle.

Although the research on the time machine has not yet been successful.

But Lin Qi's understanding of time has risen to another level.

Now he can even adjust the time flow rate of the Jarilo Synesthetic Dream to twenty times that of reality!

Not only that.

He can also perform local backtracking.

This is different from repairing objects through the authority of creation; it is time reversal in the true sense.

And it's not through a time towel, but by Lin Qi himself!

From this point alone, Lin Qi's understanding and control of time have improved by a large margin.

This is also the reason why he let Phantylia enter the cycle.

Currently.

This method is not as direct as the energy attack of the Star-Shattering Spear.

But the effect on the spiritual level is surprisingly good.

Even the Heliobus who plays with spiritual attacks has had her spirit become bad because of this.

But Lin Qi is not very satisfied with the experimental results.

Or rather.

Not completely satisfied.

"The same person cannot meet on the same timeline? Otherwise, there will be problems?"

Speaking of which.

Lin Qi has been thinking about the time machine.

According to normal logic, if he developed the time machine, then his future self could completely send the time machine back to the past, letting his future self take fewer detours.

Even if he doesn't send the time machine, sending building materials or related technologies is also possible.

If that doesn't work, sending some other technologies back twenty or thirty years, wouldn't he have taken off long ago?

And according to this inference, after developing the time machine, Lin Qi's completion efficiency in technology, strength, and even "creating" the Aeon itself would increase countless times.

Even...

It would exceed the time when the time machine was developed.

It should be that the moment Lin Qi traveled over, he became a god.

Or became a higher-dimensional existence.

Because having a time machine is equivalent to having infinite time.

Then no matter what technology, no matter how lazy he is, it can be completed under the power of time.

Converted into a normal timeline.

It might be shorter than a second.

Just like what some people have always mentioned, the moment strong artificial intelligence appears, a technological singularity will appear.

Just like Nous, He has calculated all the technologies of this universe.

And with the blessing of near-infinite computing power, He might have only used a very short time to calculate these technologies.

If there were a time machine.

With the blessing of infinite time, Lin Qi is also equivalent to having infinite computing power.

Theoretically speaking, what Nous can do, he can also do, and do better.

And now.

The production of the time machine has hit a bottleneck.

The "technological singularity" or the scene of "ascending to godhood" in the guess has not been realized.

So, there is only one possibility.

That is, the time machine might not have been developed?

Not only has it not been developed now, but it won't be in the future either!

In fact.

Lin Qi had already discussed this conclusion with Herta before leaving Jarilo.

Herta's view is similar to Lin Qi's.

In her view, once the time machine is successfully developed, Lin Qi will instantly become the only god in this universe.

The kind that is higher than an Aeon.

After all, even Aeons cannot truly freely travel through timelines.

The Terminus who walks against time?

He is indeed involved in the field of time, but compared to a time machine, he is still a bit worse.

At that time.

After discussing this conclusion, Lin Qi was a bit melancholy.

Even had the idea of giving up research.

After all, according to the inference, all research will be in vain, so is there any need to continue research?

To some extent, this has a sense of "fate" being set.

But now.

Seeing Phantylias at different times slaughtering each other, Lin Qi had other guesses in his heart.

"Maybe the time machine isn't unfinished, it's just..."

"Time is a ring, and the true self is unique?"

"That is, no matter which timeline, there is only one me?"

"Instead of like Phantylia, where there is one of herself at every point in time."
