If I live forever, everyone thinks I am invincible

Time. This is the only thing that Chen Changan noticed was wrong at the moment.

It would take several years to enter the formation of the second island and return to the real world.

But the formation on the second island was able to send him back accurately, so its level should be quite high. Even if the distance was far, it couldn't have taken so long.

So where did these missing years go?

Seeing that Chen Changan fell into deep thought, Mu Yunyao waved to everyone, indicating that everyone should go back first and not disturb Chen Changan.

“Time, distance, speed, where is the connection between these?”

"Could the second level of the test be related to these factors?"

"But why is it a formation, and why does it send me back to the real world?"

“Is there any necessary connection between these two?”

Chen Changan was confused and still couldn't find the connection between them.

Chen Changan sat on the ground, constantly thinking about how to pass the second level.

Chen Changan, who controlled the laws of time, was unable to feel the passage of time while teleporting in the formation.

But several years have indeed passed, which is a very strange situation.

Suddenly, Chen Changan felt as if he had entered some strange state.

Time flies around, as if everything in front of me is playing at a fast speed.

And Chen Changan was still sitting there motionless.

"Time? Space?"

"Could it be..."

A sudden flash of inspiration came to Chen Changan's mind, and he seemed to have grasped the key point of this test.

It is clearly within reach, yet it seems so far away from me.

Just a little bit, just a little bit, and I would understand the key to the second level test!

"Teleportation is both real and fake."

"Coming back is true, but also false."

“Time is real, but it is still fake.”

"I see. Why didn't I think of it earlier? This thing... I'm familiar with it."

Suddenly, Chen Changan laughed. He finally realized what he was going through.

However, Mu Yunyao and others were relieved when they saw a sudden smile on Chen Changan's face.

But the next moment, Chen Changan's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace in front of them.

"What about people?"

"Fuck, why did he suddenly disappear?"

"what's the situation?"

Dahuang and the others were all stunned at this time, completely not understanding what was going on.

Mu Yunyao frowned at this time, because at the moment Chen Changan disappeared, she noticed that there seemed to be a fluctuation of time around Chen Changan.

Time? No, it's not just time, it seems there's also... space!

"Just focus on your own business. Chang'an should have found the key to passing the second level test."

When Chen Changan opened his eyes again, he had returned to the second island.

The second island owner glanced at Chen Changan, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Not bad, it didn't take too long."

"You were able to grasp the key to the second level so quickly. You have a good understanding."

Chen Changan glanced at the second island master and said with a smile, "I have always wondered what the test of the second level is. I didn't expect it to be about comprehension."

"This test of yours is too deceptive."

"At first I always thought that returning to the real world was an illusion, but all of this is real, yet not real, because it's not me who is returning."

"If I'm not mistaken, it's time, right?"

After Chen Changan finished speaking, the second island master smiled and nodded. In fact, from the very beginning, this formation was neither an illusion nor a teleportation formation.

The moment he entered the formation, Chen Changan had already entered into a state of mind constructed by time and space.

The one who returned to the real world was not the present Chen Changan, but Chen Changan a few years later, Chen Changan’s time clone.

Crossing the time node and returning to the real world, so it is true, but also false.

Because he himself never left the second island from beginning to end, and every time he returned, it was his time clone.

The real world also experienced the return of Chen Changan, but Mu Yunyao and the others didn't know that it was just that Chen Changan returned to the real world at a certain point in time.

It was because of this situation that Chen Changan once thought that everything he was facing was real.

In fact, Chen Changan should have understood this situation very well, because he had experienced it before. He had experienced himself in different periods and at different time points, and he had returned to a certain stage in the past.

But Chen Changan didn’t think of this at the time.

"Why didn't I understand?"

"Sword Master, you have been in the formation for less than a day. What did you just say?"

Hong Chen was still standing outside the formation at this time, looking at Chen Changan with some confusion.

It didn't know what Chen Changan had just said.

"Let me put it this way. From your perspective, I only stayed in the formation for less than a day."

“But within this one day, in fact, I spent a long time in time and space.”

"But there is a bit of a time paradox, because at a certain point in the future, I came into contact with you and brought you back to the real world."

"But now I have passed the second test, so we will leave soon."

"Then how can I, at this point in time, meet you here?"

The more Chen Changan spoke, the more confused Hong Chen became. After analyzing carefully for a long time, Hong Chen finally understood what Chen Changan meant.

That is to say, Chen Changan entered a certain state of time and space. At a point in the future, he returned to the real world and then returned to the Star Sea Ruins. He also met Hongchen who had been waiting here.

"If every node of time and space exists independently, then does that mean there is no paradox?" Hong Chen's words made Chen Changan's eyes light up.

Do different time and space nodes exist independently?

No, it does not exist completely independently, otherwise it would not affect everything that happens later.

"It's actually not that complicated. The final result is determined by people."

"If Chen Changan is worried about a paradox, or doesn't want himself at this time to appear, he now has a way to erase it all."

"After all, he is the original body. His consciousness is the main thing. He can erase the self that appears at the future time node and get everything back on track."

"Because, at this moment in time, the people in the real world do not have the memory of your three trips back, because this memory belongs to their future time node."

"So, before the future arrives, you can choose whether to erase this part of your existence."

"Everything depends on your choice."

After hearing the words of the second island master, Chen Changan nodded. He had already understood this point.

"It turns out that it was in this place that I truly realized how to use time and space to go back to the past."

"In other words, the future self I met is me after this time point."
