"Unless what?"
Tang Zijun and Chang Lei asked in unison.
Seeing the change in Suolin's expression, the two immediately understood that the other must have thought of something crucial.
"I know, I know, damn it, how could I forget such a crucial thing..." Suolin kept muttering rapidly, her originally relaxed and carefree face becoming tense.
"What are you talking about?" Curly-eared girl hopped over and asked, puzzled.
"Here!" Zolin abruptly raised her head, staring directly at the two people and the rabbit in front of her. "Time-lapse technology does require an anchor point to complete time travel, but what if there's a backdoor in the timeline? What if your timeline already contains matter capable of freely traversing time?"
"W-what do you mean?" Chang Lei frowned, muttering in confusion. "The more I listen, the more confused I get."
"I'm relieved to see you didn't understand." Curly-eared man raised his hand and rubbed his ear. "Because I didn't quite understand either."
"The World of the Surface... I think that's the right name, right?"
Suolin blinked, her gaze towards the crowd revealing a strange look.
"You guys haven't actually studied these pocket dimensions in your world in detail, have you?"
Tang Zijun turned to look at Chang Lei, who coughed. "Ahem, research on the surface world is currently only in the initial exploration stage, and there haven't been any breakthroughs yet."
'
'
Suolin rolled her eyes with her mechanical eyeball.
Tang Zijun, standing beside him, narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he already knew about the special nature of this world and had been in contact with many other worlds, he never expected that such a big secret was hidden in the world.
Previously, he had always regarded the surface world as a buffer zone between the real world and the inner world, a kind of natural barrier. Later, when he experienced the Shadow Catastrophe, he also discovered that the surface world was a natural dimension that could be contaminated by energy.
The Lost Ones seized control of the surface world by using the power of shadows and the divine power of Scáthach's shadow, and simultaneously launched an invasion of the real world through those surface worlds.
And now, the surface world can even be used by the gods of the era as part of a time-slip technology, opening a bridge for them to cross different timelines.
So the real world is just a universal fragment? No matter who invades the real world, it can always step in to help?!
Tang Zijun was still deep in thought, while Juan Erduo was completely dumbfounded. "Impossible, right? The surface world may be a strange dimension, but it shouldn't be able to achieve something as outrageous as time travel..."
"It's not impossible." Chang Lei stroked his chin, his expression serious. "Don't forget, the surface world itself was born from history, and it's history that no one remembers."
Tang Zijun added at this moment, "And don't forget, Curly Ear, Katie's train can freely adjust the internal time. Whether it's brand new or dilapidated, everything can change according to her mind."
"But this is only the internal part, isn't it? Time travel and all that..."
Tang Zijun shook her head and continued, "The fact that Katie was able to cross the barriers between different worlds to find me in the dream world itself means that she... or rather, this real world is special."
"The surface world is not static; it is alive, capable of moving freely and opening a gap in the real world at any time to hunt. Based on this, it should also be able to move freely on the timeline."
"But what I don't understand is how the gods of the era managed to do that."
Logically speaking, the wasteland world does not have a surface world. In the eyes of the gods of the era, this should be the first time they have seen such a thing. Under such circumstances, how did the other party occupy and control the power of the surface world?
"Perhaps they don't need to control the surface world," Zorin suddenly said.
"Tell me more about it." Tang Zijun turned her gaze over.
Suolin replied seriously, "The surface world should also have corresponding protective measures. According to the rules of your world, beings that cannot generate negative energy will not be considered prey by the surface world, and naturally, they will not be accepted by the surface world."
"Neither the gods of the era nor I can provide negative energy to the surface world, so it's impossible for the surface world to open its doors willingly. But if it's just about borrowing a passage, it doesn't seem impossible."
"Borrowing a passage?" Tang Zijun felt that she seemed to understand a little.
"Aside from some historically significant watchmaking worlds, your world has also seen the emergence of many watchmaking worlds since the advent of the information technology era."
Zolin gave Katie a look, indicating that her train was a product of the information technology age, and then continued.
"In these worlds, there should be many technological products—telegraph machines, mobile phones, radios, signal transmitters."
"Because they are internal products of the formation of the surface world," these devices do not require signals at all. As long as they are under the influence of the rules of the surface world, they can function normally even without being plugged in, which is the best guide for the gods of the era.
"They are fully capable of receiving such complex signals, then invading in reverse, and using the different time flows within the surface world as springboards to slide a distance in surface time before re-entering reality."
"This is not a controlled time travel, because most of the surface world is uncontrollable, incredibly chaotic, and even without external influence, the interior is in a state of stillness. But with the super algorithm of the Epoch Gods... this is its specialty."
Sitting on the table, listening to Zorin's long string of technical terms, I felt my head spinning. "This is outrageous... I've been partners with Katie for so long, and I don't even know as much as you do."
"That's normal, actually. You haven't come into contact with this level of technology yet, and your research on the surface world is still in its early stages. Besides, Katie herself is quite cute and seems completely unaware of the abilities she possesses."
Suolin smiled casually and continued.
"Although I don't know much about your world, nor am I very clear about the surface world, I have a better perspective than you. By looking at your development with a future-oriented viewpoint, I can still find some clues."
"In that case, can we also replicate the behavior of the gods of the era to achieve the goal of time travel?" Chang Lei asked the question he most wanted to know.
Upon hearing this, Suolin did not immediately give an answer, but instead turned her gaze to Tang Zijun.
"I think you shouldn't ask me this question, but rather ask this gentleman."
"Me?" Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow.
"If I remember correctly, when we went to that dream world before, the reason Katie was able to find us was because she was able to establish a connection with you, right?" Zoe asked, though it was a question, her tone was very certain.
Tang Zijun hesitated for a moment before nodding. "That's true, but it's not 100% certain. For example, Katie couldn't find me in the wasteland."
"I know, that's because the barrier between the wasteland and your world is somewhat special. But if it's just traveling between different timelines within your world, that should be fine."
Suo Lin smiled slightly and even raised her eyebrows at Tang Zijun.
"What do you mean... Oh—" Tang Zijun suddenly realized something, leaning back in a moment of realization. "You mean, you want Katie to connect with me in different timelines, thus achieving the effect of time travel?!"
"Hmm~"
Suolin made a cute gesture.
"That's right. The connection between you two is very special. I've never seen anything like it before. But because of your special circumstances, I'm not that surprised."
"So, if Katie wants, she can drive a train to any timeline to find me anytime?"
"No way, you're just casually talking about such an outrageous premise..." Curly-eared man's eyes twitched.
"Actually, it's not that simple. Time travel is not a simple matter, and the timeline of your world is also extremely special. If you are not careful, unpredictable results may occur. Moreover, I guess there are many restrictions, otherwise the Gods of the Era would not have only sent a single AI soldier to assassinate him."
Zolin clicked her tongue and continued, "Moreover, the energy required for time travel is extremely terrifying, which this train alone absolutely cannot achieve. I think you'd better solve the fuel problem first."
"I think Suolin is right."
Tang Zijun nodded thoughtfully.
"A mission that crosses timelines... This is unlike any battle we've ever fought before. We'll probably have to be fully prepared."
"So what should we do now?" Chang Lei clenched his fists; this time, he had no intention of standing idly by.
Tang Zijun raised her head slightly. "This is a huge matter. I need to talk to Shangguan Su. She may not be able to help much, but she should be able to offer some useful advice on this matter."
"Old Chang, go and contact Qingnang and Qin Nan. Juan Erduo, tell Katie that we're going to save history."
