Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Hao Ren has made up his mind to find a way to find the location of this world's server in the real world. As long as he finds it, maybe he can figure out what happened ten thousand years ago.

The nodes of all important events in the dream plane seem to be at that time node ten thousand years ago, when the goddess of creation died, which triggered a doomsday disaster on a planet. And this civilization seems to be one of the few that has a different experience from other civilizations.

"Terminal, can you contact the outside world? Call the drone swarm or the Giant Turtle Platform." Hao Ren still has the professional qualities of an examiner. He is not bound by the worldview of this world, but tries to use his unique power to solve the seemingly incredible problem in front of him.

Although the data terminal appeared directly in his consciousness this time, it still had all its capabilities. It began to send positioning signals to the outside world. However, after a moment, the data terminal started to yell, "How is this possible? The data was sent out, but there was no response. I can guarantee that the positioning signal was sent out successfully."

Hao Ren tapped his head and said, "Is it because your current form of existence is different from before, so there was some misjudgment? Maybe your signal was not sent out at all."

"No, no, no, the signal was definitely sent out. But there is no equipment outside to receive the signal. This world is like a non-existent drone swarm. Logically, this shouldn't be the case. You've deployed drone swarms for some time. Although they are far from enough to cover the entire universe, the drone swarm sites are already quite widespread. If they receive my signal, they will send feedback immediately. Not only can this machine not find the drone swarm, but the signal it tries to send to the real world has also fallen into the sea. This machine suspects that even if the connection is cut directly, you may not be able to return to the real world."

Hao Ren suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The reason he could be fearless in this world was that he could log out and return to the real world at any time. But the data terminal suddenly told him that there was no way to return, which immediately made him panic.

"What's going on? Can't you go back to the real world?" Nolan looked at Hao Ren who was talking to himself in confusion. Sometimes he spoke in his own voice, and sometimes in a mechanical electronic voice. The conversation he had with himself was like a schizophrenic.

  "It's possible, but that's not right. You said before that I could disconnect at any time. Why can't I do that now?" Hao Ren remembered that he had told the data terminal before that if anything unexpected happened, he could disconnect at any time to return to the real world. Why couldn't he disconnect now?

"With your current knowledge, it's difficult to explain the exact principle here. You can roughly understand it as the observer effect. Before the box is opened, the state inside is in an uncertain state.

When I don't try to disconnect, can I transmit your data back to the real world? It's also in an uncertain state. The connection between the two different worlds is so fragile. In the past, the transmission of such information was no problem, but this time it was not possible. "

Hao Ren was completely confused. Although he already had some experience as an examiner, he still had a lot of knowledge gaps.

Nolan and Lanno were both thoughtful. Although Nolan didn't know what the connection between different worlds should be like, he thought of many physical experiments: "This is indeed very similar to the observer effect. As for why this phenomenon occurs... I'm not sure, but is it possible that your return behavior triggered some kind of paradox? If your attempt to return is successful, a certain rule of the universe will be violated."

Having gone through so many reincarnations with the top student around him, Nolan was forced to become a top student in order to have a common language with this guy, so he gave a very reliable guess as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lan Nuo had more information and more experience. Seeing this situation, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Your current state does seem to have triggered some kind of paradox. The most likely one is the time-space paradox."

When Hao Ren heard about the time-space paradox, he felt it was ridiculous. How could he, a local police officer in the Time-Space Administration Bureau, encounter such a thing as a time-space paradox?

"You don't have to worry that much. If you have come into contact with other versions of me, you would realize that different versions of me arrive at different times, but in fact, the time we set out is not much different, and we can even say that there is no particular order. Our mode of traveling through time may cause a time-space paradox."

Hao Ren nodded: "I remember that one of you traveled to Holletta and traveled back to 10,000 years ago. There, you became a prophet for the locals and led a group of people to sacrifice their lives to transform into spiritual forms. You spent tens of thousands of years occupying the body of a super life form that attempted to destroy the world. The other you came directly to my house a few months ago. Why do you say that your travel in this way will cause a time and space paradox?"

"My traveling through time and space itself will not cause a time-space paradox, but if I can transmit what happened in this time and space to myself in another time and space, you are sending the information I saw back to the universe I was in before, and a paradox will arise.

Because the order of time points when I traveled through another universe and the order of time points when I arrived in your universe do not correspond one to one, I who traveled to a later time and space may have traveled earlier in that world. If I pass the information back, then the subsequent me who traveled through time will know what will happen in the future, and thus change my behavior in the past, causing the future to change as well. This will form a paradox similar to the grandmother paradox.

However, the world of time travel is common in many universes, which has been verified. However, this kind of time travel does not cause paradoxes. There are usually two hypotheses for this. One is that people who want to travel back to the past and change the future will be unable to change the future due to various coincidences, and eventually find that everything they have done happens to be part of history. It is because of their own intervention that the future will develop into what they see later. This argument has a fatalistic meaning, which is somewhat similar to the view we support, but also different.

Because from this point of view, time travel is two-way. After going back to the past, you can go back to the future to see what the world looks like after you have changed it. Then, if possible, you can go back to the past again to try to change it.

The application point of view is that going back to the past will create an additional parallel world. Everything that happens in that world has nothing to do with the world before the time travel. This view is theoretically feasible, but according to our experience, this is only effective in a very small number of universes. It is not so easy to create parallel worlds in most universes. The view we support is that time travel must follow the principle of information shielding. That is, after traveling to the past, it is impossible to directly come to the future through time travel, nor can the information that happened in history be directly transmitted back in any way. In addition, the most important point is that the act of going back to the past itself is an accident and cannot be actively triggered. Instead, only specific people at a specific time point can naturally experience time travel, just like a natural phenomenon. "

Hao Ren was a little confused, but the data terminal nodded repeatedly in Hao Ren's consciousness: "You are right, similar examples of time travel are extremely rare, but there are actually several recorded cases in the archives of the Spacetime Administration.

Once, an investigator discovered an individual who was suspected to be a time traveler, but he could not find the world he originally came from. It was not until many years later that someone discovered that a person who suddenly disappeared completely matched the personal information of the time traveler on record.

There are more than one similar case records, but no matter which time, the time traveler has never been able to transmit the information of his time travel to the time period before his time travel through any means. It is a bit similar to your information shielding principle, that information can only be transmitted one-way from the future to the past, and cannot be transmitted from the past to the future through any means, including normal historical records. In fact, it is very similar to the fatalistic hypothesis you mentioned, that is, the time traveler's time travel has already happened, and everything he does is not changing history, but is a part of history.

But what does this have to do with our current situation? You don’t mean to say…”

Nolan also reacted at this time: "You have been mentioning 10,000 years ago. It seems that for you, 10,000 years ago is an extremely special time node. You also think that the time when we started reincarnation should be 10,000 years ago.

However, according to our calculations, the time for all people to reincarnate in the data world should be equivalent to more than 7,000 years in your calendar. In my earliest lives, I lived to the moment when the world was reset. Although I didn't have much consciousness to actively record the passage of time at that time, I still had a rough sense of time. At least the error should be within ten years. In any case, the time of reincarnation is less than 10,000 years. If we assume that the time node we enter the server is exactly the time node when you think a major event will happen in this world, then you are probably not in the modern era you think, but in the era you originally lived in more than 2,000 years ago.

This also explains why you cannot get a response when you send out signals, because it is very likely that the equipment you built to receive signals has not yet been created.

According to the principle of information shielding, if you do not want to cause a time-space paradox, your information cannot be passed on to your future self by any means, unless you want to pass the information to a time point after the time point you traveled through. "

Hao Ren felt a little dizzy, but after thinking about it carefully, what the two people around him said seemed to make sense. He really couldn't go back now, which probably meant that he really came to the past because of some coincidence.

And this coincidence is just a simple natural phenomenon, like a bubble in the long river of time and space. It exists and its existence is destined from the moment it is born.

"If I really traveled through time, what should I do now? According to you, even if I go back to the past, I can't change the future. Everything I do now has already happened in history. So do I have to do nothing?" Hao Ren felt a little frustrated.

  "No, it's different. To you in the future, all of this is indeed the past, and everything is part of history. But to you now, nothing has happened yet. The principle of information shielding also ensures that you in the future have no idea what you did in the time-travel state.

So you don’t need to think about time travel now, just carry your future memories and do your job.”

Lan Nuo is already quite familiar with this kind of thing, especially this time, different selves were thrown into different time nodes, but it did not affect them from doing what they should do at each time node.

"So what is my job?" Hao Ren thought about the duties of an examiner and suddenly felt that he had nothing to do. What else could he do in such a virtual world that was constantly revolving? It seemed that there was nothing else he could do except quietly watching the development of this world.

"What to do? That's your business. Anyway, our biggest goal now is to find a way to explore the truth of the world and find a way to go to the real world." After confirming Hao Ren's real name, Lan Nuo actually had some understanding of the worldview of the world he was in. Before, just knowing Nolan, he couldn't be sure what world he was in and what kind of worldview he was in, but Hao Ren and the settings of the data terminal have helped him greatly narrow down the scope of the answer. Combined with his current situation, he realized that he was indeed in a virtual world, and the current situation in this virtual world he was in was probably quite bad. Not only that. The environment of the virtual world might get worse with the passage of time.

Because the natural environment of the server that hosts their virtual world is constantly deteriorating. The orbit of the planet that hosts the server is gradually decreasing and is gradually approaching the star of their galaxy. After a while, it is very likely to fall directly and be submerged in the star, and that will be the end of everyone.
