Chapter 87: Exponential Explosion of Rescue

Only when the differences are large enough and difficult to cannibalize each other can different tributaries be derived.

But even these different tributaries will still slowly overlap with each other, and in the end only one may survive.

Following Fang Zheng's roar, which served as a signal, the boundary sea warships from different time and space tributaries headed towards the same tributary.

Different possibilities should have been competing with each other for the only chance of survival, but in the end only one possibility remained.

However, with the infinite energy support of the button, no matter how large the number of the boundary sea warships becomes, as long as they are truly regarded as one for a moment during the contact process, their overall energy can always be maintained at a full state.

The enormous energy is enough to distort space and time itself, forcing different possibilities to appear side by side and making the illusory possibilities materialize.

As a result, the size of the boundary sea warships increased rapidly at an inhuman speed.

In the beginning, the warships in the boundary sea still needed to use artillery bombardment to erase the historical changes caused by the black gas and the changes in time and space that spread from upstream.

But as its size increased wildly, in less than an hour after the birth of the Boundary Sea Battleship, it was able to completely ignore the space-time waves brought about by the changes in past history itself by relying on its huge size that was constantly merged from the space-time tributaries.

When its size reaches a certain level, it is like a piece of stubborn stone or a piece of divine iron. Not only can it remain motionless under the erosion of time and space, but it can also sail unscrupulously towards the past and the future by gushing out endless energy, and officially be promoted to a time and space battleship!

"After becoming a space-time battleship, we spent quite a bit of time sailing through the long river of time and space, constantly approaching the space-time tributary where you were, and finally arrived at the forefront of the merger of the space-time tributaries, and re-locked you." Taiyin Divine Emperor said.

Fang Zheng nodded: "I understand, thank you."

The next moment, Fang Zheng suddenly asked, "If the current spacetime battleships can already travel through the past and the future, then have you been able to see the approximate number of different spacetime tributaries?"

This question stems from the confusion that arose when he wandered through different branches of time and space.

The boundary sea battleship was created with the help of Fang Zheng's power after Fang Zheng entered this world of immortal cultivation and experienced two obvious changes in time and space.

The first time was when the black energy invaded from history, causing the Holy Emperor Taiyin to become the Divine Emperor Taiyin;

The second time was when two supreme beings named Emperor Henren and Emperor Wushi had their past bodies directly wiped out by some power behind the black air, and they disappeared.

During these two changes, although Fang Zheng still remembered everything that had happened, the supreme beings in the nine heavens and ten earths had their memories changed in the fluctuations of history.

In other words, in the changes of history, they had never experienced the things that Fang Zheng knew from the beginning.

These are the changes in time and space that Fang Zheng can see and perceive with his 120 frames per second vision. How many changes in time and space are there that he cannot see?

I learned from Taiyin Divine Emperor that, just like the two changes in time and space, Fang Zheng himself did not essentially travel to different parallel branches of time and space during the continuous jumps throughout the day.

Instead, it was the boundary sea warships from different tributaries of time and space, carrying the different nine heavens and ten earths universes whose history had been changed from the very beginning, that jumped here.

And between the fusion of different histories, it is separated by the huge power of the boundary sea warships, giving it independence.

In other words, while Fang Zheng was using his own strength to create a battleship out of the bounded sea, even if the battleship itself could rely on its powerful strength to forcibly hinder its own historical correction power.

This will forcibly block the waves spreading from the long river of past time, preventing everything in the present from being tampered with, but such blocking will directly create a new tributary of time and space.

In this new tributary, history changed from the very beginning.

Even though the composition of the Realm Sea battleships, that is, those extremely supreme nebulae, were so powerful from the beginning because they had no past, so although they were also changed by the changes in time and space, they were still powerful.

It is just like appearing out of thin air in a tributary of time and space where there is one more, or even countless, history that has been changed from the very beginning.

In this case, does it really make sense to create the World Sea battleship and try to change everything that was destroyed by the black energy and the history that was changed?

Fang Zheng murmured to the Taiyin Divine Emperor, "I created a boundary sea battleship in a tributary of time and space, and averted a tragedy that might have been caused by the black energy."

"However, at the same time, it will create countless rivers of time and space that have caused tragedy from the very beginning, and have been led to destruction by the black energy from the very beginning."

“Saving one tragedy will create countless tragedies; saving countless tragedies will continue to create even greater numbers of tragedies.”

What exactly are the tragedies and destruction caused by the splitting of the tributaries of the long river of time?
If in the process of saving one person, innocent people will inevitably be hurt, and more people will be harmed, and in the process of trying to save more innocent people, more and more people will continue to be hurt.

No matter how much we try to save them, there are always larger and more tragic people who have no room for resistance, are doomed to destruction from the beginning, and are destined for tragedy to happen.

Does all of this make sense?

"So?" Taiyin Divine Emperor raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying you want to do nothing?"

After a moment of silence, Fang Zheng suddenly laughed, "Of course not."

"There are quite a few examples of this trolley problem in the novels I've read." "A train driver has people tied to both tracks in front of him. No matter which side he drives to, someone will be crushed to death."

"Should we press on the side with more people or the side with fewer people? If there are the same number of people on both sides, what criteria should we use as the judgment?"

"If a train driver kills someone on one side, is that a crime? Will the person on the other side who survives thank him? Will the person who was crushed to death hate him?"

"Whether it's the anime or novels that Human Fang Zheng has read, there are many similar plots."

"but!"

"Whatever the train driver did, he himself was not at fault."

"No matter which side he chooses, no matter who he crushes, he saves the people on the other side."

"Those who died were not killed by him. The one who let these people come to the train tracks is the murderer!"

Fang Zheng's voice sounded firm: "Of course I will choose to save them all!"

"Since I have such great power, why can't I save them all?"

"The split of the space-time tributaries is not my fault, it's none of my business!"

"I'm just an answering machine that doesn't even have the ability to think. I just output answers based on inertia!"

"My expressions of confusion and relief are only part of the answer."

"As I output my answer, due to the output inertia brought about by human 'Founder', the answer will not change."

"If saving one tragedy will create two tragedies, then save both tragedies!"

"If we save those two tragedies, it will create ten more tragedies. Let's save those ten tragedies as well!"

"Saving ten tragedies will create ten thousand new tragedies, so save even those ten thousand!"

"No matter how many inexplicable tragedies this will cause, no matter how many were destined from the beginning, as long as we save them all, isn't that enough?"

"My power is probably infinite, but according to you, the number of space-time tributaries that can split is not necessarily infinite."

"That means my power is enough to completely cover the entire split in the tributary of time and space."

Fang Zheng looked at the Taiyin Divine Emperor and asked, "Didn't you say that today's space-time battleships are already capable of traveling into the past and future?"

"Indeed." Taiyin Divine Emperor nodded. "Although it consumes a lot of energy and needs to fight against the huge backlash of cause and effect and time and space, it is already possible to forcibly extend power into the past and future."

Fang Zheng laughed, "Then my healing potion can revive even those who are left with only regret and resentment."

"If even these have disappeared, it seems that resurrection is impossible, but if we can travel to the past and the future, we won't even need healing potions. We can just go back and save them, right?"

Fang Zheng tilted his head and continued, "If, in the course of history, the river of time continues to split, then, just like the first time change Fang Zheng directly perceived, it caused the Taiyin Saint Emperor to become the Taiyin Divine Emperor."

"Then theoretically, in an earlier tributary of the long river of time, there should also be a history in which the Taiyin Saint Emperor did not become the Taiyin Divine Emperor from the beginning."

"In other words, as long as the space-time battleship can sail there, no matter how tragic it is, no matter who has passed away in which long river of time, or even lives that have been changed by time and never existed in the first place, they should all be able to be found in the more distant branches of space-time."

"The Holy Emperor of the Moon..." His brow furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and he smiled. "Even though I am who I am, if I can find that guy, I'll have a drink with him."

"Now that the space-time battleship can sail through different tributaries, we will eventually encounter another version of ourselves in different tributaries, with different experiences, drastically changed personalities, and completely different life ideals."

“I wonder what interesting changes will happen then.”

"But..." Taiyin Divine Emperor smiled, but then his expression turned serious again and he reminded:

"Fang Zheng, perhaps your power is truly limitless, and you can really do that."

"But right now, one of the main reasons we must find you as soon as possible is that we may have to face a huge crisis that is about to happen!"

"Oh? What is that?"

The Taiyin Divine Emperor's face was serious as he uttered, "The drying up of the long river of time!"
