"Master, I have arranged a meeting for them at your command. ”

Leaving the capital of the kingdom with his front foot, Isolt teleported to the Magic Tower with his back foot, recounting what he had done.

Although he had known for a long time, it was likely that his master had used those powerful magic mirrors to see the whole process clearly.

"The meeting of two women will determine the course of history, which seems interesting, right?" Zhang Cheng asked thoughtlessly, holding his chin.

"It's very interesting! I've come to look forward to seeing the fear, despair, and hysteria of the male monarchs. ”

Isolt obviously did not understand the deep meaning of her master's words, and could only reluctantly agree.

However, Zhang Cheng didn't care about this, and continued to ask, "Do you know the time?"

"When?"

The expression on Isolt's face became even more eccentric, completely unaware of what his master was trying to say.

"That's right! time!" Zhang Cheng nodded slightly. "In fact, the so-called time is a huge net, whether it happened in the past or in the future, it is actually all already there. All that you're going through is just moving around in a certain pattern on this boundless net. You in the last second and you in the next second, in fact, should be two completely different people from the perspective of time and space. ”

"Master, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

Despite her desperate attempts to understand the elaboration of time in just a few sentences, Isolt finally gave up.

It's not that he's not smart enough, it's that he's not standing at that height yet.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just have to listen. Zhang Cheng didn't seem to care about any of this at all, still with a faint smile on his face. "When a person transcends the limits of time and can stand in a higher dimension to look down on time, he will find that the causal relationship that many people regard as does not actually exist, and there is nothing called fate. Because all possibilities will extend into a parallel universe and space. Think about what you would do when you could see everything that happened in the past and in the future, even the countless possibilities?"

"I ...... I don't know ......."

Isolt shook her head blankly.

"I don't know? Hahahaha!" Zhang Cheng suddenly burst out laughing, and sighed while laughing: "Yes! Believe me, omniscient omnipotence is a curse, a distress, a helplessness. It's easy for you to be precious with curiosity and a desire to explore. That's why I hate to peek into the past and the future, and I don't like to stay in a high-dimensional space. ”

"You...... Can you see the past and the future?!" Isolt finally grasped a key word.

"Yes, I can!" Zhang Cheng generously admitted.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the old man suddenly became very excited, pointed to his nose and asked, "Can you tell me what my future looks like?

"What do you think of the future? a straight line that is eternal and unchanging? No, my dear servant, the future is not immutable. Remember what I just mentioned: Time is a net, and every decision you make, every choice you make, will make a difference in the next second. Unless you want me to jump out of three-dimensional space, you will always be trapped in an infinite loop in the web of time, with no beginning or end. Zhang Cheng explained casually.

"So how do you break out of this infinite loop like you?" Isolt's tone revealed intense curiosity.

There's no way not to be curious!

You know, this is a time that has been studied by countless powerful spellcasters!

A terrifying force that is regarded as supreme and cannot be resisted even by the gods!

"First of all, you have to transcend time, at least become a god first. Then you will gradually and truly understand the nature of time. As for the rest of the part, come back to me when you become a god. ”

After saying that, Zhang Cheng waved his hand lightly, signaling that the other party could retreat.

Isolt was obviously a little unwilling, but she was afraid of annoying her moody master, so she slowly turned around and left the room with reluctance.

Shortly after he left, Gru appeared on the balcony and asked in a tone of uncertainty that "Why talk about time for a being who lives in a three-dimensional universe?" Don't you understand that doing so will have no effect at all except to bring him intense confusion. ”

"How do you know it's not going to work? At least on the web of time, every three universe beings have a chance to break free. Zhang Cheng turned his head and retorted.

"And then? Even if they break free, they're not going to be trapped in the next dimension. Time is only an insignificant part of the higher dimensional universe, and as a master like you and me can easily travel through time, space, and distance to wherever we want to go. But again, after being the master, everything after that point in time will disappear into thin air. Because of this, you and the other you have always surprised and intrigued us. ”

Gru said as he walked in from the balcony.

After not seeing him for a while, his size seemed to swell slightly, and the shell on his body also shimmered with an unusual ghostly light.

"Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's deliberate, who knows. You should ask him about this question, not me. Zhang Cheng pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

"Well, I'll find a time to ask in person. Now, let's go back to the previous topic, why did you tell him about the mysteries of time?" Gru clearly did not intend to delve into the subject, and decisively asked the question that interested him.

He didn't think that the other party was bored to pass the time, but he was hiding some ulterior secret.

Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't want to answer your question for the time being." Anyway, you are the master, why don't you look for the possibilities of his future on the network of time?"

"But your fate has already been interfered with by you! Any point in time when there is a dominant intervention will not appear in the network of time. And when you leave the 3D world, everything will return to square one, and the tampered parts will be automatically hidden. There is no second person but you who knows about it. Gru grumbled as he waved his insect-like arthropods.

If we could get a glimpse of the future that the Lord had interfered with from the time network, someone would have gone to a certain point in the future to figure out the true role of the Chaos Tree......
