Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2611: Chapter 2612: Time as a Net, Escaped Fish

”To put it plainly, this place is actually my hard drive, but it’s built out of steles.”

This statement left Huyue, Fei Bai, and the others dumbfounded.

Eventually, Huyue couldn’t help but say, ”But what is the purpose of making such a fuss about this? I think even if you used all the steles here, you couldn’t store much information.”

”That’s right, this method is extremely outdated. Even if all the steles here were filled with symbols, they could only store a very short video.”

”Initially, it originated from a game I played out of sheer boredom, but now I am extremely grateful that I did, because I’ve uncovered a sad yet laughable truth.”

At this point, Zhang Tianyou paused and then continued with a wry smile, ”Back then, to store massive amounts of data, I used countless advanced methods, like recording them in quantum waves.”

”But on a certain day afterward, I suddenly felt that something seemed to have changed, yet I had no idea what exactly had been altered.”

”This feeling was tearing me apart, and after several investigations, I found no anomalies; the data stored in the quantum waves appeared normal.”

”However, I was sure something was definitely different, so I instantly remembered the stone stele records which were like a game back in the day, rushed here, and found that the marks left on the steles hadn’t changed. I immediately extracted them and discovered it was a video!”

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Zhang Tianyou slowly said, ”Yes, it’s exactly the video you saw.”

Saying this, Zhang Tianyou’s face was full of a helpless wry smile.

”To think that in the pursuit of documenting more things, I invented countless advanced tools, only to find in the end that the most secure and resistant method against external intrusion was to engrave data on stone. This is undeniably ironic.”

Everyone was silent.

Only Xue An smiled faintly.

”It’s not surprising; sometimes the simplest thing is the longest-lasting.”

Zhang Tianyou nodded and then continued.

”When I saw this video at that time, I was also extremely shocked, but as someone who worships rationality, since this video was painstakingly stored on steles back then.”

”It shows that it contains very important information, so I analyzed it in detail and uncovered a shocking secret.”

As he said this, Zhang Tianyou looked at Xue An spiritedly, his expression full of complexity.

”That video is a true piece of history, right?”

Xue An nodded, ”That’s right.”

Zhang Tianyou let out a sigh of relief, ”Turns out it’s true. It seems my hypothesis was correct, and it’s the world that’s wrong.”

Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, ”Why do you say that?”

Zhang Tianyou chuckled lightly, ”Since you’re the crucial character I tried desperately to record, you must be aware of the changes in the world now.”

”For example, me!”

Zhang Tianyou gave himself as an example, ”My memory has always been exceptional, capable of remembering even the smallest trivialities, yet I couldn’t remember you and this world completely forgot about you. What does this indicate?”

”It suggests that an unfathomable force is interfering with everything, and that’s truly terrifying.”

Zhang Tianyou’s words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Fei Bai and Si Qingqing completely stunned.

Si Qingqing did not understand, but Fei Bai felt an overwhelming shock.

Previously, he had felt very familiar upon first seeing Xue An, which confused him.

Until now, hearing Zhang Tianyou’s analysis, he suddenly grasped that the young man standing in front of him indeed existed before and created brilliant history, but for unknown reasons, he is now forgotten by the entire world.

Just then, Xue An shook his head, ”You’re wrong. I wasn’t forgotten by this world; I was excluded by the Multiverse’s time.”

”Excluded by time?” This time it was Zhang Tianyou’s turn to be surprised.

Xue An nodded.

”Correct, because I have a notion that what’s altered in this world isn’t memory, but time! In other words, the timeline was changed, making it seem like I never appeared, leaving no trace in anyone’s memory, not even a whisper of information.”

”Such a method of obliterating all traces overnight can only be realized in this way; otherwise, no matter how powerful this existence is, it couldn’t simultaneously make all sentient beings in the Multiverse forget some memories.”

”But wait, if the timeline was changed, why does the information on these steles remain untouched?” Zhang Tianyou pondered for a moment and then said.

Xue An pointed at Huyue, ”Not only did the information on your steles remain, he also wasn’t affected at all, his memory of me is completely intact.”

Huyue nodded, ”Indeed, I wasn’t affected, likely because my power is too strong.”

Even at this moment, Huyue didn’t forget to boast a bit.

Xue An didn’t pay attention to this at all; he seemed to become more serious.

”So I think time is actually like a big net; no matter how skilled the fisherman is, it’s impossible to catch everything in one sweep. There will always be one or two that escape.”

”Time is a big net...,” Zhang Tianyou murmured to himself, the light in his eyes gradually growing intense.

Meanwhile, Xue An looked at him, ”Now it’s time for you to say, why are you trapped here on Mars?”

Zhang Tianyou wasn’t surprised by Xue An’s question; he just smiled wryly, ”Did you sense it?”

”Yes! From the moment I set foot on this Mars, I felt it; the place is heavily guarded, clearly a cage, and you are one of its prisoners.”

Zhang Tianyou sighed, ”Indeed, I am trapped here and the reason is...”

”Would you believe... my own created artificial intelligence would betray me!”

”Are you talking about... Star Ring?” Xue An asked.

Zhang Tianyou nodded helplessly, ”Yes, it’s Star Ring!”

Xue An naturally knew Star Ring.

The first time he saw Zhang Tianyou, he was piloting an alien spaceship with the onboard artificial intelligence named Star Ring.

Later, Zhang Tianyou joined Xue An, and Star Ring became the backstage manager of the Red Lotus Immortal Sect.

Who could have anticipated after this huge upheaval that Star Ring, the artificial intelligence, would actually rebel.
