Chapter 55: The past and the future do not exist, only the present exists

After chatting with Taiyin for so long and knowing the future direction of the two, Fangzheng suddenly became interested.

He raised his hand and waved it, saying excitedly, "Ah! I might have guessed the reason!"

"I know why I don't exist in the future you predicted!"

"Oh?" Taiyin asked.

Fang Zheng quickly ran around and began to explain his guess.

He ran around and said excitedly to the Holy Emperor Taiyin and the Holy Emperor Taiyang:
"Look at my movements. Am I not a cube man now?"

"The world I see is only 120 frames per second. While I'm moving, I can't fully react, but I can use my absolute memory to count the frequency of my body's movements, which is exactly 120 frames."

"In other words, every second of me seems to be made up of 120 frozen versions of me."

Fang Zheng looked at them and asked, "When you look at me, is it 120 frozen frames per second?"

Taiyin and Sun Saint Emperor nodded, and used Fang Zheng's 120 frozen movements to integrate into the so-called one second, calibrating their and Fang Zheng's cognitive units of time.

Fang Zheng was excitedly recalling some of the little bits of knowledge he had learned from popular science videos while watching TV and watching videos.

He first asked Taiyin: "Didn't I just tell you about the theory of parallel universes?"

"I remember seeing something on TV saying there are many kinds of parallel universes."

"You said you saw a long river of time. Then, I think your world might be a world with a convergent timeline."

Taiyin was slightly puzzled: "The conclusion of the timeline?"

Just from the literal meaning, Taiyin could roughly understand what this meant.

Taiyin, who is good at divination, knows much more about the taboos of the long river of time than ordinary cultivators.

In his understanding, if time is a long river rolling forward, then the future is like the river, with many different directions.

Any force that inherits secret techniques such as divination will often warn future generations.

Whether you rely on divination or accidentally foresee a corner of the future, you cannot trust the future you see completely, because there is often a big difference between reality and the predicted future.

However, attempts to observe the past of time through divination or reflection have always yielded fixed results.

If, as Fang Zheng said, the so-called time has a bounded nature, then it can be easily explained.

Ancient books record that time cannot be changed. If you try to change time, it will inevitably cause a huge backlash.

The long river of time rolls forward, swallowing up all the tributaries and turning into only one long river. Even if all living beings are like fish in the long river, those who are strong enough can occasionally jump out of the water and see a corner of the future, they will eventually fall into the river.

Therefore, there should be a current time point in the merging process of tributaries of different time-long rivers, which serves as the merging point.

Before this current point in time, the long river of time has become one and cannot be changed. After this point in time, there are still distinctions between tributaries and the main trunk.

Fang Zheng said to Taiyin, "Didn't you say you predicted two futures?"

"In the first future, there is no me, and no you either. Your corpse even fell from the path to immortality."

"This may be a parallel tributary that did not occur and has been converged by the main trunk."

"There's also a second future where I'm not there, but you are. I suddenly disappeared while you were doing divination in that future."

"I think this, like the previous one, is a tributary extending from the present to the future."

"Then I think it might be that my cube body, with its minimum time scale, is somewhat compatible with your world, but not yet fully compatible."

"So, when the long river of time in your world spreads downward, I can go with the flow, but when the long river of time splits into tributaries, I will not be separated into different tributaries like you."

"I guess I'm quite powerful!" "Oh?" Taiyin looked at Fang Zheng carefully after hearing his words, and said with a sense of enlightenment: "Can the long river of time wash away his body without changing it?"

He recalled again that in the divination of the future, he used the secret method to project the past scene, and the square scene of the past he saw made his brows furrowed.

After exchanging a glance with the Sun Saint Emperor, the two began to deduce together in tacit understanding.

Suddenly, in an instant, the Yin and Yang energies intertwined to evolve chaos, creating Yin and Yang in the chaos, and numerous Daos emerged from it, weaving into an illusory little world.

The illusory world continued to split forward as Taiyin and the others continued to deduce. Countless small worlds connected together and turned into a long river flowing. At the front of the river, many tributaries branched out and continued to extend forward, while the back end gradually moved forward, gathering the many tributaries into one, turning it into only one long river.

At the same time, several illusory incarnations of divine thoughts were thrown into it by Taiyin and Taiyang, turning into a tribal baby, which split along with the many tributaries and lived different lives in different tributaries.

Some are wild people, some are tribal warriors, some are physical cultivators...

As the main body of the river converges, all the illusory futures will be swallowed up, and all the futures may be absorbed into one.

Taiyin's eyes moved, and he put a divine thought into it.

However, this divine consciousness was like a stubborn stone. It did not extend along with the continuous extension of the illusory small world, but fell directly into a small world. As the small world itself moved forward, it was washed forward by the long river.

Carefully deducing the direction of the illusory river, Taiyin immediately spotted a problem. "No, if what Fangzheng said is true, then not only does the future not exist, but even the past shouldn't exist either. Only the present should remain!"

"But..." He lowered his head in thought.

"If the past and the future did not exist..."

He looked at the illusory river.

Like a stubborn stone, the divine thought was washed forward by the long river. However, it did not split as the long river extended, leaving behind a continuous line of holes in each illusory small world.

Although this hole was quickly filled up by the erosion of the river, it still left a momentary trace.

The process of making up for it also causes faint ripples to spread in the long river.

Taiyin frowned. "If the past and future don't exist, and there's only the present, then isn't that changing the past every moment?"

"If the past that Fang Zheng and I witnessed was altered, I shouldn't still be alive now. I should have been wiped out by the backlash of time."

"wrong!"

"If we continue to change the past, what kind of horrific consequences will be involved?"

"The long river of time should become turbulent, bringing about a massive backlash from heavenly punishment!"

"unless……"

Taiyin looked at Fangzheng with a strange look as he continued to speak.

"If Fang Zheng is truly as he once said, in creative mode, his body is immortal and indestructible, unaffected by any attack."

"If even the backlash of the long river of time is useless to him..."

A divine light flashed in Taiyin's eyes. "The backlash of the heavenly punishment will be exhausted! The long river of time will be forcibly altered, causing tremendous turmoil!"

Taiyin imagined the scene.

On the long river of time, a cube man crashed into it like a huge divine iron star, and huge waves continued to spread towards the past and the future.
