It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 392: Gem Old Man: Is this the world five billion years from now?

World line jump...

It should be like a shooting star across the night sky, a matter of just a moment.

It is an instantaneous event for both the world being jumped and the jumper himself.

The Second Magician, who had countless experiences of traveling back and forth between parallel time and space, never doubted this.

He is an expert and an authority.

Every jump is as accurate and certain as a precise clock. He can be said to be the most familiar traveler between parallel worlds.

At least the old man has never met anyone who has a more say than him in this regard.

therefore……

Switching maps is no longer a snap, but involves an obvious loading process.

If this were a game, or a progress visualization, you might be able to see the circle representing the loading icon constantly spinning, round and round, as if it were spinning endlessly.

Faced with this unprecedented strange phenomenon, Bao Shi Weng's heart was instantly stirred. His intuition was like a sharp sword, and he instinctively came to a conclusion in the first place:
For the first time in my life, I might have met a master who is also proficient in this field...

It was as if there was a force somewhere that echoed his magic, crossing the boundaries of parallel time and space...

——This means that in the "other" world, there must be a power similar to the second magic.

This force is so strong that it can produce a subtle reaction with its own world line jump, as if it cancels each other out, like two torrents converging and colliding invisibly.

So... the other party noticed my invasion?
Is it the existence "on the other side" that is declaring rejection in a silent language and not wanting to let myself go?

The magician thought so subconsciously, and it also made his initial guess more certain.

--really!
——There is a reason why ORT has changed!
It is very likely that the source is indeed the world "opposite"!

At this point, he was even more reluctant to give up. Not only did he have to do it, but it also aroused his competitive spirit.

Even though he knows how to be in awe, it doesn't mean he will easily let go of his pride and reserve. Even if he knows he can't win, he won't easily admit defeat in the field he is best at.

Not to mention other aspects, just talking about the matter of interference in parallel time and space, Zelrich must have absolute confidence in himself.

then--

Thus, a contest between magic and time and space quietly unfolds.

Under the confrontation of magical forces, the world line seemed to become a tapestry, gently plucked by invisible fingers, rippling circles of delicate ripples.

It went on like this, and I don't know how long it was before the ripples of time and space gradually calmed down.

As for Bao Shi Weng's subjective perspective, it was like being caught in a network fluctuation, watching the loading icon spinning tirelessly, round and round.

Finally, after countless rotations, the loading icon bloomed with dazzling light in his vision——

Time, lines, matter...

It seems as if everything is refreshed and constructed again at this moment.

It was as if the world had been quickly rendered and then appeared before his eyes in a brand new posture.

Maybe it's just a moment, maybe it's immeasurable years.

When his senses reconnected to the material world, Bao Shi Weng found himself in a dead silent street. The scene around him was shocking.

The place is in ruins and desolate.

The high-rise buildings farther away were either half-destroyed or covered with a thick layer of charred dust, like ruins licked by flames.

A pungent burnt smell permeated the air. It was extremely irritating, as if it could penetrate people's hearts and lungs, making people frown involuntarily.

Those ruins and charred objects tell of the fall and destruction of an entire metropolis, and seem to imply that this is just a microcosm.

The same is true outside the cities.

It implies that outside this city, the entire world has fallen into the abyss of doomsday.

In the distance, a strange and terrifying roar resounded through the sky. It was the roar of some unknown monster.

Wherever it passed, it was as if tangible sound waves distorted the surrounding air, causing the buildings on the roadside and those buildings that still had broken glass on them to explode under the ravages of the sound waves.

Countless pieces of glass were like sharp blades, drawing shining tracks in the air, and finally fell weakly to the ground, making a crisp and harsh sound.

"No, not this..."

The second magician also frowned his already wrinkled brows.

He frowned not because he was worried that his sudden visit would disturb some unknown terrifying monster lurking in the city.

Instead, he instantly realized the real key to the problem with an extraordinary sensitivity.

This world is not the end of my journey.

After a long and arduous contest, he was shocked to find that not only had he failed to win the game on the chessboard, but he had also fallen into a fog of failure without realizing it.

——My destination was changed quietly?
——Has my "direction of movement" changed without me noticing?

The reason why I was able to move here successfully in the end was because my target was no longer the correct world, so I was not intercepted by the defense system anymore?

"..."

"..."

His expression was a little bit ugly, and there seemed to be a layer of haze in the depths of his eyes.

The second magician began to doubt his life and became deeply worried about this adventure and the limits of his own abilities.

But there was hardly any hesitation.

He directly activated the second magic again, and his figure and existence disappeared into the air.

Since it is not the destination, then of course we must continue to refresh the map immediately and not delay. ………………

………………

As you can imagine, what happened next was still not smooth.

It can even be said that it is a ruthless test of will and patience.

Accustomed to the smooth and seamless switching that allows one to move to a parallel world in the blink of an eye, Bao Shi Weng finds it difficult to accept the long loading and waiting times.

It’s mainly because it’s hard for mortal minds to endure that kind of indescribable suffering.

Because during the time when the world line jump was initiated, he seemed to be forgotten by the world and lost his existence in the material world... He existed neither in World A nor in World B.

There must be a switching gap in the middle.

If the jump is instantaneous and completed, then there is no problem.

But if not...

The experience would definitely be completely different.

Being locked up in a small dark room between two worlds gave Bao Shi Weng the feeling of being in prison to the fullest.

Only by relying on his immortality and the strong will forged from experiencing countless parallel worlds, was he able to endure silently and continue to fight silently in this seemingly hopeless struggle.

—But being resilient is a good thing.

——Not knowing how to give up may be a bad thing.

Switching maps again and again, the results are always the same.

Every effort, every battle of wits, ultimately only leads the magician to one seemingly insignificant parallel world after another.

It cannot be said to be completely irrelevant.

In those strange world lines, Gem Master noticed their uniqueness and weirdness.

ORTs seem to exist in all those world lines, but they haven't awakened or taken any action. They simply exist as some kind of doomsday device...

——This is the "hidden" part that the magician has not been able to observe before.

Secondly, those world lines seem to be very strange, or rather, abnormally distorted.

They neither simply tend to affirm or deny human history, nor are they simply stories about the glory of heroic spirits or the prevalence of Dead Apostles. They are complex and varied, full of unknowns and variables.

It’s like a “large-scale testing ground” that is testing diversity, exploring the infinite possibilities of existence, and challenging the limits of imagination.

………………

He saw a world where all mankind united to build a space elevator that went straight to the stars, and the glory of the human federation illuminated the new era...

He saw a world where a planet mysteriously ended, a giant monster appeared in the Pacific Ocean, and humans created giant mecha warriors to go to the battlefield to engage in bloody hand-to-hand combat with the monsters...

He saw a world where neither Heroic Spirits nor Dead Apostles existed, where there were no fancy magic tricks, but only tennis skills that had been developed to the peak, and where people had developed shocking "superpowers" for this sport...

………………

——Just like that, Jewel Man had witnessed a world line that was like an intricate maze countless times.

They display unprecedented diversity and complexity in a jaw-droppingly distorted posture.

The result is...

The agony of switching maps did not allow the old man to break down his defense.

On the contrary, it was these strange parallel worlds that made Bao Shi Weng a little overwhelmed.

But after constant trial and error, as the only master of the second magic, the experienced Lao Deng was finally

………………

………………

In the deep, dark space.

There was an inexplicable flash of light.

In the remaining galaxies, gems and minerals gathered together in an instant under the influence of unknown forces and mechanisms.

Then - he transformed into a human form, with flesh and blood, breathing and aura...

This is the "existence" of a certain intelligent being transferred over.

The moment he opened his eyes and regained his senses, the first thing Bao Shi Weng felt was weightlessness. He was floating alone in space.

I should be at the same location on the "opposite" Earth, so why am I thrown into space...

The old man twitched the corner of his mouth and had a bad feeling in his heart.

And the next second, the scene that came into view seemed to tell him the truth.

There is no earth.

In the empty void of the universe, the original orbit was empty and there was nothing. The planet that was supposed to carry all life disappeared as if it did not exist.

In the distant interstellar space, the burning stars seem to be struggling to survive.

It looks like the Sun, but it appears to have evolved into a red giant.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Bao Shi Weng still felt a shudder in his heart. What was going on?

According to the theory, shouldn't it be five billion years before the Sun evolves normally to the red giant stage in its late years?
