Chapter 119: Other Time Ability Holders [Fifth Update]
"Have you ever seen a person with the ability to time? Who is he? What is his personality like?"
After all, it is the same superpower as the strongest person in the world, so Chen Zhenping is still very curious.
Although the most powerful and frequently used force in this world is 'electromagnetic force', in fact this force is not uncommon. It can control the biological magnetic field to a certain extent, generate electric current, and control thunder.
These are all relatively common superpowers, but the degree of output is different. The problem is that no one except Bai Jing can develop pure electromagnetic force to that level. (This is what Chen Zhenping thinks.)
All I can say is there is a huge gap between S-class and A-class.
S-level psychics do not have so many restrictions, while A-level and below psychics have great restrictions on developing their abilities.
It is extremely difficult to deduce Bai Jing's personality based on electromagnetic force, but there may be different results based on the power of time.
"do not know."
"?"
"I said before that I had seen other time users, right? That was a lie." Lin Xiaoxue said a little embarrassedly: "You are the one who has actually seen other time users."
"You developed a time machine and wanted to travel through time. Then you met a time user, a person from an unknown future. You gave up using the time machine after talking to her."
"Tell me more about it."
"Well, first of all, we need to talk about what time is." Lin Xiaoxue recalled the explanation given to her by the other Chen Zhenping in the parallel world, sorted out some of it that she had written down and began to explain:
The so-called time is actually a man-made concept, a way for objects to move in space. It can even be said that time ability is part of space ability, but in fact no one with space ability has any ability involving time.
Even if these people with spatial abilities realize that they should have the ability to control time and try to develop in this direction, they are unable to do so.
Because when the holder of the ability of "time" appeared, time began to change.
Chen Zhenping has met someone with time ability who is quite powerful.
Being able to transmit information from the future to the past across time, maybe S-level? Super S-level? Or maybe above Super S-level. In short, it is a person with time ability that is beyond imagination.
It’s just that this person with such a powerful time ability rarely uses her superpowers. Most of the time she just lives like a person without superpowers. She will not use her abilities unless she encounters extremely special situations.
Because of this, she doesn't know the limits of her abilities, she doesn't know how far she can go, and she doesn't know what abilities she can develop.
But she can easily apply several time abilities of Chen Zhenping's thought.
It's like time stops.
She didn't know how long she could stop for - because she had never felt an upper limit.
She knew that she possessed other time powers, such as time reversal and time acceleration, whether on a global, cosmic or local scale.
But she didn't know the upper limit of her abilities, because she only knew that she had the power but had never used it.
She can see everything in the past, present and future, but she just watches and never makes any changes - unless someone intervenes in the time realm.
Because to the person with the ability of time, so-called time is just 'memory'.
It is the memory of mankind, the memory of the world, the memory of the universe, and the memory of all good and bad things.
Stopping time is fine, but speeding up and reversing time at will to go to the past and the future.
To her, wanting to travel back in time and change the future was a desecration of memory.
Disrespect for everything in the world so far, and indifference to all the efforts of countless human civilizations.
The thrilling stories she remembered in the past would disappear and be replaced by new stories. Maybe the new stories were just as interesting, but they were no longer the stories or people in her memory.
This makes her feel that all the efforts of the characters in the past who had great ambitions and strong charm have been in vain. It makes her feel that everything in the world is meaningless, and her concept of time becomes blurred.
Perhaps, the past was not beautiful, perhaps history is full of regrets, but no matter what, that past, that history contains the hard work of countless people, and perhaps it failed in the end, but it is by no means meaningless.
But if you want to subvert the past, subvert history, then no one will know what they have done, what efforts they have made, and what stories they have.
Playing with time casually will only make everything in the world cheap and make everything lose its value.
Therefore, she would not use her time ability unless it was absolutely necessary. Even if she really encountered an absolute situation, the most she could do was to stop time.
If she really encounters a fate that cannot be stopped even if time stops, she will accept it. Even if that fate is her death, she will not refuse it.
Although she is a person with the ability of time, she will not use her ability to subvert the laws of the world. Instead, she will protect time and try her best to prevent others from wanting to tamper with history.
Even though the person with the ability to time herself did not have a happy life, she had no intention of changing her past to make her life better.
For her, being able to watch over the history of the past is happiness enough.
For a person with the ability of time, she would rather die than overturn past history.
She hopes that Chen Zhenping, who has mastered the time machine, can give up the time machine and respect the history of the past instead of rewriting it.
"After that, you gave up the time machine. According to you, [Time ability may be the most powerful superpower in the world, but the truly powerful time ability only appears in people who don't need this power]."
“Those who play with time will only be played with by time. Even if you use a time machine, you will never achieve the future you want.”
"So you gave up the time machine and destroyed all the information related to it. There were too many unpredictable things in changing history, so you completely gave up that possibility and chose to stay in the present."
"After that, all your research is focused on the present and the future, and you stop thinking about what would have happened if you had made different choices in the past."
Lin Xiaoxue said as if she understood everything: "Ah, maybe this is the reason why Bai Jing is unknown in the old world. I wonder if he died in the Romanda Institute?"
“It should be different.”
Recalling the scene of Bai Jing fighting Harvey Walker that he saw on TV at that time, Chen Zhenping shook his head: "His personality seems to be completely different from what you said. But did he give up the time machine?"
Chen Zhenping thought about it. He couldn't fully understand how his 'future' self would think, but he thought he would be much more mature than his current self.
Lin Xiaoxue, there is no difference in her age and appearance, both are eleven years old.
Born in the 129th year of the New Era, a world where the ritual of Irina, the leader of the Restart Organization, was completely successful. She was born in the 129th year of the New Era, one year after the world's restart was completed.
Because of this, the world she traveled to was in the 140th year of the New Era, and Chen Zhenping in that world was years old this year, not five years old.
It’s just that in the parallel world, he has lost his super powers.
In the 128th year of the New Era, Irina's ritual was successful and she successfully seized all the super powers in the world. On that day, there was no one with super powers in the world anymore.
But it was only that day.
People with super powers are still being born continuously, and there are even A-level people like Lin Xiaoxue who have the ability to travel to parallel worlds.
As for Chen Zhenping?
At the age of five, he has begun to awaken his superpower, a very peculiar superpower. If one wants to describe it in a simple and direct word, it would be - [Whisperer].
Various kinds of knowledge that can be understood by people beyond this era will constantly appear in his mind.
