Genius Club-Chapter 581 - 17 Mirror! Here it is! (Added for Alliance Leader Solitude24!)
"I will,"
Lin Xian said solemnly.
He was truly grateful for Chu Shanhe’s trust, as he hadn’t spoken a single word of reproach.
But...
The promises he had made and the oaths he had sworn must be fulfilled.
No amount of fancy words could replace bringing Chu Anqing back!
He turned around.
And walked toward the manor’s exit...
"Going home."
After getting into the car, he lay back in the back seat and said with his eyes closed.
...
Shortly afterward.
He returned home.
Rhein Company’s professional electricians had already redone the electrical wiring in his house, and most of the household appliances were replaced; aside from some larger items that had yet to be delivered, the house was completely transformed and ready for normal life.
Lin Xian ordered a takeaway meal to satisfy his hunger.
Only then did he realize that he hadn’t had a proper meal or sleep in several days.
He had been working non-stop.
Imperial Capital, Qufu, Imperial Capital, East Sea City... Traveling back and forth by plane, he also went with Gao Yang into the deep woods with a heap of tools to dig graves.
Actually, these tasks were manageable.
Before meeting Chu Shanhe, Lin Xian seemed to have been numbing himself with all this busyness.
But after meeting Chu Shanhe today, he felt much more relaxed and resolute.
Just as he had assured Chu Shanhe.
No matter where Chu Anqing was now, no matter who Chu Anqing was now.
He would find her.
Bring her back!
Bring her home!
But mere talk wasn’t enough, given the current situation, he needed to figure out a way to break through, a way to advance further.
After finishing his meal.
Lin Xian tidied up the table quickly, then returned to his bedroom.
He turned on the desk lamp.
Sitting at the long-unoccupied desk, he began to think.
First, it was still the issue of the Millennium Stakes.
While riding home earlier, he had already calculated it.
The time interval between the instatement of two Millennium Stakes was indeed 24 years.
But each Millennium Stake disappeared at the age of 20.
So.
From the disappearance of one Millennium Stake to the birth of the next, there was a four-year interval.
At that time, he was somewhat puzzled.
What did these four years signify?
If it were about continuity of the stakes, conceiving only requires 10 months.
It’s entirely feasible for one Millennium Stake to disappear right after the staking, and then just 10 months later, another Millennium Stake could be born, wouldn’t this cover a more compact scope?
In this manner, every 21 years, a stake could be driven.
In 1000 years, several more could be done.
This detail also made Lin Xian start to wonder...
If the significance of the Millennium Stakes was indeed to lock down history, then how many years of history could the dissipation of one Millennium Stake lock down?
Take Zhang Yuqian and Chu Anqing, for example.
Zhang Yuqian disappeared on January 21, 2000, Chu Anqing was born on March 28, 2004, and then Chu Anqing disappeared on March 25, 2024...
Between January 21, 2000, and March 28, 2004, there were no Millennium Stakes in existence in this world.
How should this period be described?
Is this stretch of history considered locked down, or not?
"Logically, the locked history should mean it can no longer be changed, but isn’t what I’ve been doing all about changing history?"
Lin Xian began twirling his pen:
"So, there’s a good chance that in the time before the Millennium Stakes are driven, history can still be changed... But this kind of lock down is useless for the people of this time-space!"
He realized this principle.
Before the Millennium Stake of Chu Anqing dissipated, he had changed the future trajectory several times, from the First Dreamland to the Fourth Dreamland, changed so many times.
Then on March 28, 2024, the Millennium Stake did lock down the previous history, yes.
But what did it have to do with him?
He was now alive in April 2024, still four years from the next Millennium Stake’s birth, and 24 years until the next stake-driving...
In these 24 years, who knew what shape the future he could remodel was going to take, maybe the Fourth Dreamland would even update to the Fortieth Dreamland.
Then in such a case, what was the purpose of driving the Millennium Stake?
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, spotting this blind spot—

"[So, the existence of the Millennium Stake has never been to guard against the people of this temporal domain, but against those Space-Time Travelers from the future! To prevent them from altering history!]"
History Lock...
Lin Xian recalled this Space-time Law.
Actually, those events yet to happen should clearly still be the future for the people of this temporal domain.
It’s only regarding Space-Time Travelers like Huang Que from the future that these yet-to-happen events are considered history.
History measured in their terms.
Looking back at the phenomenon that occurred to Huang Que that day...
She wanted to tell him what exactly the Millennium Stake was, but she was silenced by some invisible force, unable to say a word.
Not only that.
Her body even became transparent, nearly dissipating, evidently also punished by some kind of forced power!
At that time, Huang Que specifically pointed out.
This situation generally does not occur unless [Space-Time Exclusion] and [History Lock] are triggered together.
This, is the second Space-time Law she wanted to teach him.
No name.
Only phenomena.
He needed to think further, to extend and to conclude.
But...
For the moment, Lin Xian felt that his understanding of this unnamed Space-time Law was still not clear enough.
He always felt that it was not distinctly different from the Space-Time Exclusion Law.
The understanding of Space-Time Exclusion is that the actions and utterances of these Space-Time Travelers, when exceeding Space-Time Elasticity, will be counterattacked and attacked by space-time forces. An accompanying clause states that even if actions do not exceed Space-Time Elasticity, they will still be subjected to repulsion and damage... like turning eyes blue, body becoming weak, and so on.
