Chapter 464 White Knight
Lin Yan's electronic voice was emotionless, but her speech speed slowed down.
"But no matter how many times you restart, that world is not real, right? It is in the dream of the gods. Even if people find a way to kill the gods, they can't change the status quo." Chen Ke was puzzled.
"The dream of the gods interferes with the past time and forms a new timeline. When the time of that timeline comes to 2137, the subjective reality will have a superposition effect with the objective reality." Lin Yan said.
"You mean, the world in the dream will replace the reality?" Chen Ke asked.
"No... It will not be replaced directly. The superposition effect looks like the old world and the new world collided with each other. The former is the phantom of the latter, like the waves rushing onto the beach. We call this effect time stranding." Lin Yan said.
"2137... How many time strandings occurred in 999 restarts?" Chen Ke asked.
"Not many... Only 12 times." Lin Yan replied.
"999 restarts, only 12 worlds made it to 2137... Are you kidding me?" Chen Ke was a little surprised.
"In 2100, we first came into contact with the gods and began to study the use and harm of supernatural powers. It was not until we lost control of them that the doomsday was triggered. In order to give the past humans a longer time to understand and study the power of the gods, the Foundation advanced the time when humans first came into contact with the gods when restarting the world, which led to a series of problems." Lin Yan explained.
"The desire for power, the abuse of supernatural powers... I understand that humans always repeat the same mistakes. So what you want to tell me is that in 999 restarts, only 12 worlds resolved all disputes, united as one and came to the present, and came to the present world, and the other worlds all killed themselves?" Chen Ke asked.
"Most of them are like this." Lin Yan agreed.
"Most of them... what is the small part?" Chen Ke smelled a hint of ominousness.
"There are also some worlds that have been invaded by gods... and ushered in the doomsday in advance." Lin Yan said.
"Dreams can still be invaded..." Chen Ke was shocked.
"Those gods will not sit still and wait for death. They have been looking for and stopping the Foundation. This time I summoned you from the subjective reality, which has led to the exposure of this place." Lin Yan said.
"Will they... come?" Chen Ke said.
"They are already on the way... But don't worry, your body is in the subjective reality. You are now just a frequency. He can't hurt you, he can only drive you back to the subjective reality." Lin Yan said.
"What about you?!" Chen Ke asked.
"I am no different from being dead now." Lin Yan said.
"What if I let you down, what if I die before restarting the world?" Chen Ke asked.
"This is a gamble, and you are my last chip. I have made the worst assumptions. What if the person who gets the power is still a child? What if he is an unforgivable criminal? What if he is an old man who is dying? Compared with those, you in front of me are the best result." Lin Yan said.
"I'm not as optimistic as you. I...my abilities are all unlocked by stress. I haven't been able to fully control this power until now...and, the life countdown...my life is constantly decreasing. If no one wants to kill me, I will die..." Chen Ke said.
"I know this god better than you do. Do you really think that's the countdown of your life?" Lin Yan asked.
"At least it's written like this." Chen Ke said.
"You know that when gods communicate with people, they don't understand the multiple meanings of our language, so they use some words randomly, right?" Lin Yan asked again.
Chen Ke thought about it, isn't the black stone in his heart just like this?
"What does that countdown mean?"
"Why don't you try to let it go to 0?" Lin Yan said.
Chen Ke never thought of operating it this way.
"Time is your currency, use it well." Lin Yan said.
At this time, the huge iron door made a painful friction sound. Chen Ke looked back and saw a man about the same height as himself standing at the door, forcing the several-story-high door open a little with one hand.
Chen Ke stared at the man. He stood where the light source did not reach and could only see a thick black shadow.
"Who are you..." Chen Ke asked.
The man did not answer and quietly walked towards the white god lying on the ground.
"I am Alpha, I am Omega, I give the water of the fountain of life to the thirsty people on the ground for free..." The man muttered and stood in the light source.
Chen Ke's heart sank. It was the figure he had seen in the hallucination, the white thing riding a horse...
That man... was still a human, he had a human body, and his body was covered with chitin-like shells, as muscular as a statue in the Roman era. His long white hair dragged on the ground, his face was very handsome, and he could not see his emotions, and his golden pupils shone in the dark.
"We... can cure you... We haven't given up on you." Lin Yan said.
"But we have given up on you." The man said.
He stretched out a hand, and in the air, it was condensed golden particles, and quickly condensed into a saber.
"I have seen you..." Chen Ke asked.
"I don't remember." The white thing said lightly. He stretched out his left hand, pulled can No. 999 off the pipeline in the air, clenched his fist, and squeezed the can into an iron ball.
Bai Wu loosened his hand, and the iron ball floating in the air fell to the ground with a bang.
Lin Yan was dead.
Chen Ke clenched his fists, but he was not here at this time. He had lost all his abilities and could do nothing.
"You are just a bug that traveled through time and space. There is no place for people in the kingdom of God. Go back to your dream, live your life through birth, old age, sickness and death." Bai Wu said as he brushed past Chen Ke and came straight to the god lying on the ground.
"We will meet again, and then... Damn, then it will be a battle that will be unforgettable for you." Chen Ke said.
"I'm waiting." Bai Wu looked back at Chen Ke and pierced the head of the white god with a knife. Purple blood spurted out like a fountain.
Chen Ke's figure began to blur, and he felt a force pulling him, as if to tear him apart.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!" Chen Ke screamed in pain, his eyes went black, and he heard a plop and fell into the dark deep sea.
There was the sound of gurgling water in his ears. He rolled in the water, being carried by the turbulent undercurrent and flowing in an unknown direction.
"Chen Ke?"
"Chen Ke?"
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
"Hello...?"
"Gurgle gurgle..."
"Why... did you leak so much water..."
"Mmmmm..."
"Chen Ke!"
Chen Ke suddenly opened his eyes, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground. Xu Jing, who was beside him, grabbed his arm to prevent him from falling.
Chen Ke covered his forehead, swallowed hard, and saw himself standing in front of a mirror.
He stood up and looked around. He was back in the antique shop in Opportunity City, and Xu Jing was standing next to him.
Chen Ke was covered in water. He took out his mobile phone and liquid dripped out of the earphone jack.
"Chen Ke? What... happened to you?" Xu Jing asked in confusion.
Chen Ke calmed down, covered his chest, and couldn't feel his heartbeat. In the corner of his eye, the life countdown was still beating, with 19 hours and 20 minutes left.
"I heard you're from 2137? Time is about to run aground..." Chen Ke said.
"Ah?" Xu Jing was puzzled.
