Chapter 491: The Time Traveler's Confession

After experiencing shock, panic, and sweating profusely, Tang Nade suddenly let go of all his defenses and said very relaxedly: "Fine, I admit it. You discovered my unusual aspect, but what meaning does that have?"

What he said was actually not wrong. If it weren't for the two of them persistently wanting to find a flaw in Ge Xuan, these things would have no meaning in the first place: even if they really were time travelers, now that space-time was frozen and history was gradually approaching the node before they traveled, the special nature of this time traveler had already been dissolved.

"Hmm..." Zhang Qiu said suddenly after thinking for a moment. "I think this is a space-time phenomenon worth studying."

"What?"

"If it is said that a time traveler will enter a parallel world after changing history, then logically speaking, the other history of the parallel world should not change." Zhang Qiu's fingers tapped on the table alternately. "That is to say, you should know Xuanjun very well, because he is also a historical figure in your world."

"There is another contradiction, which is that if you return to the present through time travel, then you should be a person who appeared out of thin air. But you have a complete and reasonable growth trajectory, which conflicts with my conjecture."

Tang Nade's expression became solemn again after a brief relaxation.

"That is to say, you are not a time traveler, but you and Xuanjun share a lot of information and knowledge that does not exist in this world. These information and knowledge are very likely from the future. And, they involve the Muggle world, which shows that you didn't get them through divination."

Zhang Qiu also sat up straight and said slowly and firmly: "After excluding everything impossible, the remaining, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth: you and Xuanjun are people from two different parallel worlds who, by coincidence, came to our world at the same time through non-time-travel means."

Tang Nade's breathing became abnormally rapid. For any traveler, being exposed as a traveler by the natives is a very terrifying thing—perhaps not that terrifying, but it shouldn't be.

"Of course, as you said, even if we know this fact, it doesn't have much meaning." Zhang Qiu's tone and expression became a bit more relaxed. "It's just that this matter is quite worth exploring. Have you ever chatted with him about how you entered the parallel world? And, will there be some special spells that can send us into a parallel world?"

Harry suddenly remembered Grindelwald. Before committing suicide, he said he was going to start another great adventure—if this sentence was not paying tribute to Dumbledore's famous quote "Death is but the next great adventure," but as the literal meaning said, could he really go to some parallel world to make up for the regrets of his youth?

Of course, Harry did not rush to say his conjecture, because at this moment it was a confrontation between Zhang Qiu and Tang Nade.

"Parallel worlds are not as good as you imagine." Tang Nade chose a more conservative answer after hesitating. "Our world, uh, maybe it's thanks to Xuanjun's construction. I feel it's much better than my original world."

"Then we can also go and build other worlds." Harry said. "If this world is already good enough."

"From another perspective, I feel," Zhang Qiu pointed to the sky. "Since space-time has frozen and we cannot return to the past, then naturally, we will pin our hopes on some method that can reach a parallel world without relying on space-time travel. We can explore it together."

Tang Nade frowned, and he suddenly asked back: "But, why do you want to go to a parallel world?"

"A little thinking as a Celestial person." Zhang Qiu said nonchalantly. "In long-term peace and development, we touched the boundary of magic. Perhaps you will feel that magic is omnipotent, but we all know that magic also has limits. In order to explore higher-level technology, parallel world theory is something we must study."

"Then why do you still want to blow up space-time?" Tang Nade asked back with some dissatisfaction.

"No way, Death is obstructing us."

"Anyway, I have nothing to say. I didn't use any special techniques at all. I just died accidentally in the original world and then was reborn here." Tang Nade said his biggest secret very frankly. "And my original world has already reached 2019. By the way, in our place, Harry..."

"Harry's deeds are known to everyone, so I have expectations for everything that has happened. That's how it is." He ultimately did not say the further facts.

Harry accepted this fact very easily. If everything followed fate, he would become the hero who defeated Voldemort. And at that time, with the style of the Ministry of Magic, they would definitely make everything he had done, even as small as answering a question correctly in class, known to everyone.

"However, I am curious about one thing." Harry said. "Xuanjun pioneered many new, eye-opening magic technologies. Does this mean that in the near future, the entire Wizarding World will usher in a technological explosion, to the point of appearing with magical creations like Kamen Riders and floating cities?"

"Of course not. Haven't you noticed?" Zhang Qiu answered this question for Tang Nade. "The so-called floating city first comes from the imagination of Muggles, and then it is built after wizards evaluate that it can be realized. So, even if we can't find any information related to Kamen Riders in this world, we can still guess that it is a Muggle fantasy work that will appear after a period of time, which just happened to be noticed by Xuanjun and borrowed as a breakthrough in magic technology."

"Muggle, fantasy?" Harry felt somewhat surprised, but this conclusion seemed very reasonable.

Tang Nade shrugged. "That's right. Not only Muggle science, but Muggle fantasy can also serve as inspiration for magic technology. I think this is another benefit of the Statute of Secrecy that many people haven't noticed."

"If the Statute of Secrecy is broken and Muggles know that there is magic in the world, they will put a lot of attention on magic. In this way, perhaps they won't imagine so many magical concepts anymore." Tang Nade said lightly. "The unconstrained imagination of Muggles is also a very important resource."

"As for Kamen Rider, that would have been a very great series work. It's a pity that because Ge Xuan annexed Yingzhou, it may never have a chance to be screened again." Tang Nade's tone carried some emotion. "It was only after figuring out this point that I understood why he wanted to close the country. Different ethnicities and different cultures can give birth to many, many different fantasy works, which is also beneficial for his development of magic."

Having said this, Harry and Zhang Qiu both felt that today's harvest far exceeded expectations. They needed to spend some time to digest this new information. It's just that if they didn't ask new questions, it meant it was Tang Nade's turn to speak.

"So, speaking of this, you all know about Daisy, right? Oh yes, you call her Cassandra." His tone was still sincere, but the wording was a bit tricky. "I feel deeply sorry for her encounter. Unfortunately, this is another tragedy caused by space-time chaos."

"My original wife, I mean the wife in my original world, I loved her very much. Unfortunately, an accident made me come to this world, and I had to separate from her. You don't know how painful I was since then..."

As Tang Nade spoke, he supported his forehead with one hand, revealing a very sorrowful look.

"I always thought I had lost her forever, but at that time, I suddenly found that it didn't seem to be the case... I found that Daisy looks very much like my original wife. Originally I didn't feel that way, but her every move, her personality and style, really made me feel more and more like her."

"At one moment, I suspected that she was her from a parallel world. Perhaps they have the same soul and are the same person in different parallel worlds. It's true, I felt I had already reunited with her."

Tang Nade put down his hand, let out a long sigh, and looked up at the ceiling.

"Sigh... it's a pity she isn't. The more I interacted with her, the more I realized that she and my wife are ultimately very different. During that time, my heart was in a mess. Yes, my heart was as chaotic as the waves. I just wanted to escape, escape to a place where no one knew to think about all this, to think about why God would treat me like this..."

He wiped his face with his hand and resumed a proper sitting posture.

"That's how it is. By the time I came to my senses, I had already committed a major mistake that couldn't be undone. During that time, I kept hesitating whether to acknowledge her, but I never had the courage. In the end, I could only fabricate a lie to return to her side, or, at least try to improve her life."

Harry earnestly savored his words and felt that there was still a certain degree of credibility. Although, dragging it out for a full eleven years after coming to his senses before deciding to make amends was a very far-fetched and contemptible reason. But corresponding to it, Sirius had dragged it out for a full thirteen years after coming to his senses before walking out of his confusion. It seemed Tang Nade was still better than him.

With Sirius's deeds in front, Zhang Qiu also accepted this statement very smoothly. Her view of Tang Nade became much better. However, Sirius's way of staying in prison for thirteen years because of regret was also very unreasonable and baffling. If it weren't for the fact that they were already familiar with Sirius's deeds, they would definitely have questioned Tang Nade's statement at this moment.

In fact, Tang Nade didn't have any so-called past-life wife at all. He just fantasized Hermione from the movie as his wife. This time, Tang Nade used the same method to deceive two young people who had deceived him several times with this method. ===== CHAPTER 492 =====
