Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1380 - 5: Reinforcing History

At nine-thirty in the morning, Highway 87 was quiet and bright. The rush hour had just passed, and the people hurriedly commuting to work had already entered the city. The golden tall grass on both sides of the highway didn’t need to bow continuously under the car-induced wind, and it was a rare chance for them to straighten their slender waists. The orange-red extended sedan was moving leisurely on one side of the road, like a warm dewdrop flowing from within the golden field.

"Really beautiful." admired the Rainbow Winged Lord.

He turned the knob to turn off the music in the car, rested an arm on the lowered car window, and enjoyed the refreshing end-of-year scenery. The resilient wild plants outside still retained the abundance of late autumn, and the endless wild grass would continue to grow energetically until the first snowfall made them wither into the pure white earth.

The Rainbow Winged Lord slowed the car to the lowest speed; such a beautiful scene didn’t need musical accompaniment nor the high speed of racing cars. Only by slowly appreciating it amidst the desolation could one experience the bleakness of autumn. However, not everyone was rich in life’s emotions like an old man. As soon as the car slowed down, a voice came from above the car.

"Drive faster." Qin Ming said.

Rainbow Winged Lord looked up displeasedly, "Can’t you have some zest for life?"

He had to look up because Qin Ming was sitting on the car roof. This "Omega Mirage" was the latest model launched in mid-year by an American old-time luxury car manufacturer, and its handcrafted ingenuity and silky-smooth genuine leather seats were particularly favored by veteran customers. But Qin Ming seemed uninterested in the luxury car seats, and his dashing figure sitting cross-legged on the roof always made Rainbow Winged Lord feel like he was not driving his beloved car, but rather an overloaded green train.

"Hmm..."

Qin Ming held a monocular telescope, while Rainbow Winged Lord looked at the surrounding autumn scenery; he gazed distantly towards the Imperial Capital. He put down the telescope, shook his head and said, "Zero Island twice, United States twice, four times just this year. Counting those accumulated before, no wonder it’s unbearable."

Rainbow Winged Lord placed his hands on the steering wheel and chatted with him, "I’ve always had a suspicion. Emperor Yong Guang’s historical recursion is the last resort that only initiates when the world is under severe threat, and this hand of reviving the dead comes at a cost. The emperor uses a certain ’time point’ from the past as the foundation of history, and each time Fan Ding Realm initiates, everything in the world returns to the state of the foundation point, which is called time recursion."

"Exactly." Qin Ming nodded.

"But this way, I have a confusion: did time really recur?" Rainbow Winged Lord’s eyebrows danced, "If time truly returned to the ’past’, why do we have a vague sense of déjà vu about ’future’ events? Why is this foundation point forcibly advanced due to the occurrence of significant events?"

Thus, I believe the mechanism of the Fan Ding Realm is not time recursion; it’s more like ’cutting off’ the future it rejects, allowing the world to develop from a certain point in the past again. Some people and things have proven their uniqueness, which cannot be cut off by the Fan Ding Realm, hence they become a part of the foundation point. And the future that is cut off isn’t meant to vanish into thin air; even if they are fragmented and dissolved by the power of time, the information itself still remains. Where will this information go?"

"Into the Fan Ding Realm." A third person spoke.

The tall and imposing red-haired man sat quietly in the rear seat, almost not engaging in the conversation between the two. At this moment, the Hidden Law Master slightly nodded, confirming Rainbow Winged Lord’s guess: "Well said, those chopped-off virtual information are recycled again, becoming material for the Order King’s historical attacks... and on a broader view, the time of the Real World has in fact always been progressing forward."

He looked towards the roof, coldly saying: "Your emperor is exchanging the future for the present."

Qin Ming raised the telescope again, still with the same detached and worldly demeanor: "That’s why I have to go back."

Hearing this, Rainbow Winged Lord was startled, realizing then that the person on the roof wasn’t thinking nothing, or maybe he thought everything clearly enough to show such an attitude.

He stepped on the gas, and the engine of the Omega Mirage roared, galloping away in the golden end of autumn.

Divine Capital City, Yiji Hall.

"Honestly, the more I think about it, the more anxious I feel."

"Ah Ce, you must believe in yourself." Qin Qianbai gave a thumbs up, "There isn’t someone more suitable than you under the Sky Extreme."

"I’m not worried about my safety, frankly, not many people can threaten me now. I’m mainly worried about what this Divine Capital City will do after I’m gone..." Gongsun Ce scratched his head, "Alright, to be honest I’m also a bit worried about the stability of this thing. Is our time machine reliable?"

"Engine 1820 stabilizer verified successfully!" "Harmonic wave of Ding 331 is within normal range." "Comrades, speed up, be sure to complete the basic module construction before noon..."

In the Liangyi Hall of Yiji Hall, the An Yushi team was busy bustling. Dense cables and pipes occupied every inch of floor tiles, and gold and mercury were manually injected by the Array Masters, flowing along the array like circuit boards. Liu Zhongwu patted his chest and assured that the Empire’s Impermanence Law Enforcers have rich experience in space-time control, but the more Gongsun Ce looked, the more his scalp tingled.

The space-time grand array he understood should at least use some natural treasures as material, national treasure-level Heart Phase Weapons as the array’s core. But how come our empire’s grand array looks like... Cangdu White Coat’s assembled accelerators collider? Look at your clothes, the talisman in your hands, and listen to the lines from your mouths. Don’t you feel something’s off? Haven’t heard of any space-time grand array busying with harmonic filtering!
