Just like in the hunter's cabin, after the collapse of the space based on Vivian's dream, there was still a safe zone around Hao Ren. It was a grassland with a radius of only a few hundred meters. On the edge of the grassland, a shimmering spatial rift had opened.
The spatial crack was the crack left behind by the explosion of the Rose Gate. Now, its form had changed, becoming more solid, and there was a faint ray of light coming from the crack. Hao Ren knew that it was the passage to the next space and time, just like the wooden door of the hunter's cabin.
"Go through that door and you will enter the next space and time," Hao Ren said, pointing to the rift. "If you have anything to do, get ready here."
"What is there to prepare?" Hessiana shrugged. "We just entered this space and time with our consciousness, and we did not bring anything from the future with us. The only thing we can use is the equipment we have now. Hey, what do you need to prepare? "
Hasse was not angry at Hessiana's impolite tone. He just said faintly, "Nothing. Let's go."
"Alright, alright, then let's go ~ ~"
Lily was probably the one who was most looking forward to the next adventure. She could not wait to see what the space and time on the other side of the rift looked like. So she ran over happily. But just as she was about to touch the rift, her body suddenly froze for a moment.
Not sure if it was accurate to describe what happened, but Hao Ren had no idea what happened. He saw Lily's body suddenly covered with a layer of gray, just like the images of the past that had been solidified by time and space. As the grayish-white color covered her body, Lily suddenly froze in the air as if someone had pressed the pause button. Her breath also quickly left this world, and her whole person became a fixed image.
The "stillness" did not last long. Just when Hessiana was about to scream, Lily suddenly returned to normal. The latter fell from the sky and staggered two steps before he managed to stabilize himself. He then raised his head and looked at his surroundings in confusion. He seemed to be a little dazed.
"Mr. Landlord, I think I went back to the real world just now. I saw Wuyue and Sanba!"
The husky maiden scratched her head and looked back at Hao Ren with a dumbfounded look.
Hao Ren and the other two spoke almost at the same time, "What happened just now?"
"Of course I don't know!" Lily shouted with her arms crossed.
"Could it be a bad signal?" "You see, apart from you, didn't all of us enter this world with our consciousness? The main body is in the real world, and the receiver is in this world. In between, there are only brain waves bouncing around, just like wifi. Who knows, when the wifi becomes unstable, we won't be able to move, right? "
Little Bat's train of thought seemed to be quite unique.
Just when Hao Ren was worried about whether something was wrong with Lily, Lily's temperament suddenly changed.
Yes, from an idiot to a clown.
Hao Ren was no stranger to this change. When he completed the Siberian Backtrack, Lily also changed. He knew what happened: Raven 12345 used Lily as a springboard to project her consciousness into this space and time.
He quickly explained the situation of Lily's possession to Hessiana and Hasse. Before Raven 12345 could speak, Hao Ren said, "Boss, what happened just now? Lily's situation is a little strange. "
"Is it a bad signal?" Hessiana also threw out her conjecture and then explained her idea in detail.
Unexpectedly, Raven 12345 nodded and said, "You guessed it by accident... Although the situation is a little off, it is generally the result of 'bad signal'."
Hao Ren suddenly became nervous. "Is the sandbox system malfunctioning? The people who are projected in can't continue to move? "
Hessiana was dismayed. "Don't! I just came in and haven't done anything yet. I was looking forward to seeing the historical Vivian, and now I have to go back? "
Raven 12345 interrupted Hao Ren and Hessiana's speculation. "It's not what you think. Not everyone who is projected in will be kicked out. As you go back in time, Hao Ren, those who are further away from your current time coordinates will find it harder to continue."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. He did not quite understand. "Boss, can you explain it more clearly?"
Raven 12345 seemed to have known that Hao Ren would ask this question. She was not impatient. "You are going back in time, so in the timeline, you are getting further and further away from the 'modern', and everyone around you has a fixed threshold of activity in history. Lily was active in the last 100 years, Hessiana was active in the first year of AD, and Hasse was active in more than 4,000 BC. The original position of these people in history is like a station, and Hao Ren, the process of you going back in time is passing these stations, all the way to a further point in time."
Hao Ren vaguely realized what had happened. "People who enter this world as consciousness rely on their bodies in this time and space as a shell. But as I keep going back in time, they have passed the era of their birth. Will their 'existence' lose its support as they keep going back in time?"
"You are very smart," Raven 12345 praised. "In this way, your helpers will enter the era before they were born one by one, and their existence in that time and space will create a paradox. The sandbox system can buffer this paradox effect, and the consciousness they transmit to the past can also forcibly support their activities around you. But as the backtracking process continues, the pressure that the system can withstand will increase. I call the time when your friends first began to move in history as their 'historical reference point.' As you continue to go back in time, they will be further and further away from their 'historical reference point', and the transmission of consciousness will become more and more difficult. In the end, they will be disconnected. "
Hao Ren remembered Lily's behavior just now: she was disconnected.
"The further away from the actual period of activity in history, the more difficult it is to connect, right?" Hao Ren frowned. "That is to say, as I continue to go back in time, Lily will be the first to lose contact, then Hessiana, and then Hasse …"
"In the end, you will be the only one left," Raven 12345 said faintly. "Because in the early ancient times, none of your friends were born. Ten thousand years ago, there was only one person on Earth that you knew, and that was Vivian Ancestor."
"What an unexpected situation," Hao Ren could not help but sigh. "I thought I could gather companions along the way, and finally form an elite team to sweep the entire dungeon. It turns out that I am the only one left in the end."
Hasse also understood the whole process. The old demon hunter's thinking was more practical. "How long can we persist after crossing our 'historical reference point', which is the year of birth?"
"It's hard to say. There are too many variables, and there is no precedent to follow. I can only roughly calculate that even if you cross your historical reference point, you should be able to continue to move for one or two thousand years," Raven 12345 said cautiously. "So you don't have to worry too much about being kicked out immediately after crossing the historical reference point. You can still move for a long time."
Hao Ren sighed. "It looks like Lily will be the first to leave."
Hessiana shook her head. "Can't help it. She is the youngest among us."
"But I'm already very satisfied," Hao Ren said with a smile. "I thought you would have to leave soon after you crossed your historical reference point. I didn't expect you to be active for another one or two thousand years. This margin is beyond my expectation. If that's the case, even Lily can go with us to the first year of the Common Era … "
"I thought you would be very upset," Raven 12345 said as she looked at Hao Ren through Lily's eyes. "After all, the situation is getting worse."
"It's not that bad. I started this journey alone. Now that I have so many helpers, even if they are temporary, it's better than what I initially expected." Hao Ren was nonchalant. "That's not a bad thing.
"Very good, it seems that I was right about you." Raven 12345 smiled (although she was using Lily's face). "My connection is also starting to become unstable. That's all for now. When I go back, I will find a way to expand the sandbox system's fault-tolerant bandwidth. This will allow your friends to maintain a continuous and stable connection as much as possible before they leave. "
Raven 12345's voice slowly faded, and her breath gradually left Lily's body. Lily lowered her head and stayed in place for a while. Then, she suddenly woke up. "Mr. Landlord, Mr. Landlord, I seem to have a memory lapse again."
"Raven 12345 was here just now." Hao Ren waved his hand. "Lily, I have something to tell you."
He told the husky maiden about the historical reference point and the disconnection of the consciousness projection.
Although Lily looked careless, she was never vague when it came to complex issues that required strong understanding. She quickly understood the whole process and showed a look of regret. "Oh, I can only follow you for a while. I thought I could see the bat from 10,000 years ago."
Hao Ren smiled helplessly. Hessiana thought of something else. "By the way, weren't you the leader of the demon hunters in your previous life? If I calculate the historical reference point from that life, you can actually follow Hao Ren to the end. "
"There's no other way." Lily waved her hand carelessly. "I'm Lily Liu in this life. I'm not the same person in my previous life."
Hao Ren glanced at her. "Don't you always call yourself the former emperor of the demon hunters?"
"I'm just saying," Lily said with a relaxed smile. "I just want to be pretentious. I know that the first sage of the demon hunters and Lily Liu of the Southern Suburbs have lived two lives. Don't count on the things in my previous life."
Looking at the serious expression on her face, Hao Ren nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the spatial rift not far away.
Lily also looked over. She then led the way and said, "Let's go, Mr. Landlord."
Without any hesitation, the four of them stepped into the distorted space-time where the future was unknown.
