Bengtie, sandbox development, how did they run out!

The most recent signs of life on this planet were at least five years ago.

But only two days had passed since they received the signal from the general.

The Alliance Jade Omen used by the general is a cross-space communicator that stores the abundant divine power of the past. There are only a few of them in the entire Immortal Boat.

Even if the time for signal transmission is included, the entire cycle from the general sending the signal to Yao Qing's arrival will never exceed a week.

Then why does this planet appear to have been deserted for five years?

Chapter 88: I sent it right after I arrived? (Update )

【New content added! 】

[You have successfully unlocked the new character card: Feixiao]

Now you can develop this character.

[Reward: 200 Xingqiong]

Originally, Shen Yi, like all the other members of the Yaoqing Xianzhou "in the game", was staring at the planet in front of him that showed "no life".

As these prompts popped up, he quickly clicked on his character development list.

Sure enough, a new character's avatar was added to the original list.

White hair, fox ears, big eyes, heroic appearance, charming hair, dignified bearing, and unparalleled elegance!

Great! It's my favorite fox tribe! Fox champion! Yay!

The only regret is that she looks much more immature than the calm and reserved appearance in the original work. She looks like the previous Mirror Ryu, still in her teenage years.

But this is not a big problem, it will grow up after a while of raising it.

Compared to those things, finding her first is the most important thing!

Shen Yi couldn't wait to click on Fei Xiao's profile picture, intending to use the camera to automatically lock and track the other party's whereabouts.

But as the camera switched, the screen's perspective finally stopped at one of the cells of the desolate planet.

Hmm? What's going on?

Why is there only bare sand and dead grass?

Where is Feixiao? Where did Feixiao go when I was so old?

Shen Yi instinctively thought that there was a bug in the "game" and subconsciously cut the camera a few more times, but each time the camera froze on that bare cell.

He was a little confused. This wasn't a real game, so how could there be a bug?

At the same time, the conversation between Liuying and Jingliu came from the headphones:

"What does this mean? What do you mean the signal we received was from 'five years ago'?"

"The Alliance Jade Omen possesses the power of a Star God and can transmit signals across space. Even if there's a delay in us receiving the signal due to distance, it shouldn't be a full 'five years', right?"

Shen Yi was attracted by their conversation and quickly switched the camera back to Liuying and the others.

In Taoguang Mansion, Qin Suyi's brows were tightly furrowed, her expression serious, and her brows were filled with unrelieved sorrow.

She held her chin and thought seriously. Combining the information sent back by the Ten Directions Mirror and various observation methods, as well as the analysis from the scholars, she came to a conclusion.

That was the distress signal received by the Yaoqing Immortal Boat, from five years ago.

Liuying's eyes flashed with doubt, and she whispered her doubts: "I roughly know that before we mastered hyperspace communication and quantum communication, the fastest speed of signals propagating in the universe was only the speed of light.

If the signal source is far enough away from us, it is possible that the signal has been transmitted in the universe for 5 years before we receive it.

But you just said that the Alliance Jade Omen used by the general can communicate across space at superluminal speeds. From the moment she used the Jade Omen, the signal could be transmitted to the immortal boat in a very short time, right?"

"Under normal circumstances, that's right."

Qin Suyi nodded, the worry in her eyes not diminishing at all, "But what if the problem is not Yu Zhao, but the general himself?"

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the others froze.

Jingliu's usually calm face began to show signs of tension, and his voice showed a rare fluctuation:

"General Su Yi, what do you mean...?"

"The scholars at the Institute of Gewu mentioned that this universe has a tearing phenomenon called 'starquake'. The gravitational collapse caused by starquakes will cause a huge change in the space-time curvature of the star field.

Under the influence of strong gravity, space and time will become confused, making it impossible for us to understand the distorted time according to the conventional concepts of time and space.

To give a simple example, if we observe an object swallowed by a black hole from the outside, we will find that its movement will become slower and slower until it almost stops.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the black hole's super-strong gravity distorts the surrounding space-time structure, making time very slow."

"I understand what you mean."

Liuying nodded slightly, then raised another question: "But if that's the case, then the timeline the general is in should be in the 'future' for us, right?

The last recorded life activity on this planet was five years ago, which is very strange..."

"This is what we are puzzled about. We don't know what the general has experienced that caused her to live in the 'past'.

But based solely on the information we have detected so far, we may have to face a fact..."

Qin Suyi clenched her fists, her face showing worry, helplessness, despair, heaviness and other emotions. After pausing for several seconds, she uttered these words in a slightly dry voice:

"General, I'm afraid she died five years ago..."

As soon as these words were spoken, a heavy and solemn atmosphere of grief, like a cold winter wind, quickly and silently swept across the entire Taoguang Mansion.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely depressing because of Qin Suyi's announcement. The indescribable heaviness turned into a haze, covering everyone present.

"This is impossible."

Jing Liu clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly with emotion. "She was General Yao Qing, who civilized the Immortal Boat with her military force! How could she die so easily, in this corner where she doesn't even know her name!"

"..."

No one could answer Jingliu's rebuke.

Reality is not a fairy tale. Countless generals have died in battle throughout the history of Xianzhou. There will not be one more General Yaoqing, and there will not be one less.

But as Jingliu asked, they could accept a general's glorious death on the battlefield, but they could not accept her silent death in a corner where no one cared.

-

Outside the screen, Shen Yi was also completely confused.

What? The general is dead?

My Feixiao just jumped out, how come he died?

No, no, no, that's not right. The Feixiao in the development list is very young and looks to be only about ten years old. It's impossible that he is the current general.

Shen Yi remembered that she was rescued by Yao Qing's predecessor, General Yao Qing. So here, the General Yao Qing who was declared dead was most likely Fei Xiao's master.

This "game" has been modified a lot and is very different from the original. For example, Feixiao's master is a fox man.

But in this universe, Xianzhou has not yet encountered the fox people, so Yaoqing’s general naturally cannot be a fox person.

Now put aside the original work and make a bold assumption:

Yaoqing's current general is just an ordinary Xianzhou citizen.

Could this planet be the place where she rescued Feixiao?

Shen Yi felt that this possibility existed and was very high!

So, the question is -

Why did they die?

How could they die?!

I've just unlocked all the characters here!

And Feixiao’s health is normal!

The camera just can't focus on her...

No, this matter must be made clear!

Chapter 89: Transcendence! (Second update)

Shen Yi opened the tutorial guide and searched for keywords such as "overlapping universe", "time", and "parallel world" in the search bar.

But the results of the search were basically some subsequent scientific theories and special projects, and there was nothing what Shen Yi wanted to find.

Damn it, this guide is a mess. For such an advanced creation, can't it be equipped with an intelligent AI so that I can directly ask it questions and answer them?

The search yielded no results. Shen Yi sighed irritably and cast his gaze on the menu button in the upper right corner.

When playing a game, if the player makes a wrong choice, or the game ends due to character death or mission failure, then in order to ensure that the player can continue to play, the game will have an important setting -

Load the file.

If you look at it from the perspective of the NPCs in the game, this function is a kind of "time travel back."

This "game" does have save and load functions, but it only has one save file, and does not have functions such as historical save files and plot node save files.

Therefore, it is unrealistic for Shen Yi to try to figure out what happened in this place by reloading the game.

Unless there is some prop that can allow him to see the past, or even change the past...

Uh, wait.

Aren't there plenty of props like this in the mall?!

Shen Yi slapped his forehead, quickly opened the mall, and found the "Time Series" in the props category.

The next second, all sorts of time-related props appeared before his eyes:

Time baggage, time stopwatch, stand-in·The World......

[Time Baggage: Reverses/accelerates a unit of time, causing the covered object to rewind/speed up time, presenting a past/future state.]

[Price: 3000 Xingqiong]

【Note: Both sides can only be used once, cumulatively twice】

【Time Stopwatch: Temporarily stop the passage of time around you】

[Price: 3000 Xingqiong]

【Note...】

Oh my god, is this a time-based item? Any one of them starts at 3000, and there are strict usage restrictions.

Time baggage...

With this magical artifact, anyone can regain youth without limit.

But then again, can this thing wrap up the planet and turn back time, restoring it to its previous state?

Shen Yi looked at the instructions carefully. It said that it could only be used on "units", but planets were not units.

Well, it seems not.

Sighing, Shen Yi continued to flip through the pages. The more he flipped through the pages, the more expensive the time-related props became. The super powerful props that could be used multiple times already had several zeros in them.

After turning two more pages, Shen Yi finally found what he was looking for:

【Time TV: Allows users to watch things that happened in the past or future】

[Price: 1000 Xingqiong]

【Note: Can only be used once】

This is it, a TV that allows you to see the past!

As long as I have it, I can figure out what happened to this planet in the past.
