Chapter 449 Invading the Timeline
"Died in the past..."
Chang Lei carefully considered the sentence, and his expression slowly turned gloomy.
At first, he hadn't fully grasped the situation, but now he was starting to follow Tang Zijun's train of thought.
He used to define the invasion of the wasteland world as something like the heretics and the greedy, since they had been like that for thousands of years, no matter which world they were in.
However, the epochal gods of the wasteland world have clearly broken this inherent invasion pattern. Chang Lei had never imagined that any being could occupy a world by invading history.
The existence of a greedy being who can freely travel to any corner of the world is already outrageous, but when faced with an enemy that can invade timelines at will, he realizes that the lack of a concept of distance is not the most outrageous thing.
What would happen if I died in the past?
If your past self dies, doesn't that mean your present self also ceases to exist, and everything related to you will be changed?
Without him, would Luan Luan still survive?
Thinking of this, Chang Lei shivered for no reason, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
"No, we can't do this! We must stop them! We absolutely cannot let them succeed!"
"Of course, Lao Chang, calm down." Seeing Chang Lei's forehead covered in cold sweat, Tang Zijun quickly put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him. "That's why I called you over. I couldn't have done this on my own."
"What do you need me to do? Don't worry, I'll risk my life for you..."
"Calm down. I know you're anxious right now, but we still need to take a more practical approach to this, since this is a completely new area for us."
Tang Zijun comforted Chang Lei and helped him sit back on the bed, then continued speaking.
"You don't need to be too nervous. I think that even if the gods of the era have the ability to travel through time, they are not so free to act in our world."
Chang Lei was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Tang Zijun.
"Look, based on our understanding of the wasteland world and the gods of the era, their actions and invasions are all on a large scale, right? Whether it's targeting wasteland scavengers or destroying civilizations on other planets, they often use interstellar fleets and planet-destroying cannons to slap people in the face."
"So what?" Chang Lei still didn't understand.
"So, since this is their usual tactic, why did they only carry out the assassination of Shangguan Su by a lone soldier? This doesn't seem like their style at all." Tang Zijun spread his hands.
Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Chang Lei calmed down from his earlier anxiety and began to think about the matter again, his mind constantly working.
"I think I understand. You mean they haven't yet mastered the ability to carry out large-scale intrusions, so their intrusions are only focused on individual omnics."
"That's right!"
Tang Zijun snapped her fingers.
"Actually, after talking with Fang Xin, I've been thinking about something. I always felt that I overlooked something during this wasteland trip, and now I've finally figured it out."
"The gods of the era destroyed all civilizations in the wasteland universe that had reached the level of space travel, which is why there are so many alien orphans in the wasteland."
But a problem arose 99
"Could so many civilizations with the technological level to conduct space research appear simultaneously within the same timeline of a universe?"
Chang Lei raised his head slightly. "...No."
"That's right, no." Tang Zijun nodded and continued, "So the answer is obvious: the Gods of the Epochs have mastered the ability to travel through timelines, and they are hunting down civilizations in all timelines of the wasteland world!"
"Whether in the past, present, or future."
"Any civilization on any planet, once its technological level reaches a critical point, will be detected by the Gods of the Era. Then the Gods of the Era will lead an interstellar fleet to destroy that civilization. That's why the wasteland is full of alien orphans."
"They are not from the same timeline at all, but were kidnapped from other timelines by the gods of the era."
At this point, Tang Zijun sighed with a somewhat solemn expression.
"I should have realized it sooner..."
"I underestimated them. That guy was talking to me about the lifespan of the wasteland universe. If he didn't have the ability to transcend timelines, how could he be so certain about the exact time of the universe's destruction?"
"But it's not too late now."
Changing the subject, Tang Zijun turned back and continued.
"I didn't expect the Gods of the Era to have the ability to travel through time, but the Gods of the Era also made a mistake. They didn't expect the timeline of the real world to be more solid than they imagined."
"Have you noticed? This is the biggest difference between the real world and the wasteland."
"The gods of the era can manipulate the timeline of the wasteland world at will because there are no stable rules in that world to stop them, but our world is different."
"The God of Time, the God of Spacetime, the God of Cause and Effect, the Four Duty Officers... Our world has corresponding laws and corresponding divine duties. These are powers that the gods of the era have never encountered."
"Although the age of the gods has passed, the laws of the world still exist. Even if the gods of the era can manipulate the timeline, they can no longer do so as freely as before."
"That's why Trova sensed it as soon as it made a move; it was influencing the timeline, and changes in the timeline can be sensed by beings with 'prophetic' abilities."
"Given Trova's abilities, it's not surprising that she could sense their presence. After all, Trova was once able to predict that Zeus would become the king of the Olympian gods."
The more Tang Zijun talked, the more excited Chang Lei became. When he heard the end, he slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly.
"That's right!"
"We also have Trova, the great prophet!"
Looking at Tang Zijun with excitement, Chang Lei clenched his fist.
"So what should we do next? Did Trova tell you where those bastards are now? How do we find them and stop them before they make a move?"
"Regarding this..." Tang Zijun shook her head slightly. "Trova probably can't be of much help to us; we'll likely have to rely on ourselves."
"Rely on yourself?" Chang Lei frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Trova doesn't have the ability to travel through time. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to act with us. Although we now know the enemy's movements, we still have to find a way to stop the Gods of the Epoch."
"You mean, we have to figure out a way to travel through time ourselves?"
Chang Lei opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then plopped back down.
"How is that possible? If time travel were that easy, the whole world would be in chaos. Besides, you said that even the gods of the ages couldn't travel through time freely in our world, so how could we possibly do it in such a short time?"
"That's true, but it's not entirely impossible," Tang Zijun muttered to herself, stroking her chin.
With a noncommittal sigh, Chang Lei hesitated for a moment before casting a long, wistful glance at Tang Zijun.
"Do you have a solution?"
If it's about time travel, it's not really a special ability among Kamen Riders. After all, Odin from Ryuki, the Beyond form of Kabuto, Den-O, Decade, and even Zi-O all possess the powerful ability to travel through time.
However, their power comes from the setting, and is a wonderful ability that they are born with. Their own wolf rider belt does not have that setting. If a god of time could lend them power, that would be possible.
But in this day and age, where can one find the God of Time?
So in the end, we still need to try to find other solutions.
"It can only be considered a concept."
Tang Zijun pondered for a moment, then shared her thoughts.
"If it were about time travel, we wouldn't really have any specific goal, but right now, isn't there a perfect example?"
"The current example?" Chang Lei raised his head in confusion, then suddenly realized something. "You mean the Gods of the Epochs?"
Tang Zijun nodded slowly. "That's right."
"But we don't even know where the gods of the era are right now, so how can we expect them to tell us how to travel through time? Besides, wouldn't that alert them?" Chang Lei frowned.
"Who said we have to find the gods of the era?"
Tang Zijun's lips curled up slightly.
"Don't we still have a head worth 100,000 gold coins?"
