I hadn't expected the doctor to dare slander me, claiming that I had stolen his mechanical beasts.
I said irritably, "Did it ever occur to you that you might be the one who stole the mechanical beasts? Also, tell me—what exactly is the Void World, and does it have anything to do with you?"
"The Void World?" The doctor seemed startled.
Then he said, "I did have a concept for the Void World, but it was originally meant to preserve the body's physiological functions, slowing aging and halting the progression of disease. The idea came from an old case: people with terminal illnesses were placed in freezing chambers to preserve their vital signs as much as possible, slowing the pace of their lives and the progression of their illnesses. Then, once medicine had advanced and the conditions were right, they could be thawed and receive more advanced treatment. But while the idea was good, I couldn't agree with their methods. First of all, rapid freezing itself caused tremendous harm to the human body. No matter how good the protective measures were, it was inherently a paradox—the better the protection against frostbite, the worse the rapid-freezing effect. The facts proved it too. None of the previous cases succeeded. In the end, they still died."
I nodded slightly. I had indeed heard of that case.
Xie Yi also sighed. "If that were really possible, far fewer people in this world would die. By the way, how were you planning to do it?"
The doctor frowned. "I haven't even had the chance to put it into practice yet. I told you, it was only a concept. But I can tell you about the concept itself. It was to create an Eternal Time Space. An Eternal Time Space is a space where time approaches
