Time Reversal

"Sea Emperor, what happened?"

Normally, the Sea Emperor would give advance notice before the ship swayed, allowing Gu Ding and Liliath to secure themselves. However, this time, the Sea Emperor failed to warn them. Gu Ding and Liliath nearly fell, while only Bigge stood firmly on the ground, his feet seemingly connected to the floor by a layer of Source Power.

"We... seem to have encountered the legendary Time Reversal..." Sea Emperor's tone sounded somewhat strange.

"What is Time Reversal?" Gu Ding felt a sense of unease about what he was hearing.

"Time Reversal is a very rare spacetime distortion phenomenon in the universe, which causes time and space in a certain region of the universe to regress to the past. The area covered by this region can be large or small, possibly covering an entire star field, or it may only occur in a small village on a certain planet. The time point of the regression also varies greatly, sometimes it may be hundreds of years ago, and sometimes it may be billions of years ago."

"This phenomenon can also create spatial loops, making it impossible for us to escape and impossible for people outside to come in, so we can only wait patiently."

"How long does this phenomenon usually last?" Gu Ding couldn't help but ask.

"It could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, but it usually won't take too long, so there's no need to be nervous." The Sea Emperor himself felt somewhat powerless. After this phenomenon occurred, the communication network completely failed, and he couldn't get any new information or even know when time had been reversed.

"If we experienced Time Reversal, why didn't anything change about us?" Liliath was puzzled.

"When Time Reversal occurs, some people or things will exist as variables; they are things that remain unchanged during Time Reversal. Other people and things will be replaced as constants, such as Dilisies ..." Sea Emperor's words made Gu Ding and his group look out the window.

"That planet isn't Dilisies, is it?" Bigge looked out the window in disbelief at the spot where Dilisies had been, now replaced by another enormous planet, at least thousands of times the size of Dilisies.

"That should be Dilisies billions or even tens of billions of years ago. The planet you just left should just be a meteorite left after this planet collapsed," Sea Emperor explained.

"If the constant is replaced, will it disappear forever? Wouldn't every time such Time Reversal occurs be a catastrophe?" Liliath considered this question.

"After a constant is replaced, the original constant will be squeezed into a parallel space and continue to exist in another form. They will not even know that Time Reversal has occurred. Only those who become variables will know that this has happened."

Just then, the ship suddenly began to shake again.

"Everyone, hold on tight, I need to land the spaceship!" Sea Emperor's tone was tense. "Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble!"

At that moment, Liliath also saw the source of the trouble the Sea Emperor had mentioned through the window: a colossal beast roughly the same size as the one from the Dilis Star. With its enormous head and long tail, it resembled a giant blue tadpole magnified countless times. "That's... Starry Sky Giant Beast?!"

"It's Giant Blue Whale Beast that usually feeds on meteorites, especially metallic meteorites, so it will also attack human spaceships," Sea Emperor explained. "Therefore, we must land as soon as possible, otherwise the Grey Eagle will be eaten by it."

As the colossal beast opened its mouth, a terrifying gust of air erupted, sweeping up all the surrounding meteorite fragments and drawing them into its maw. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. If the Grey Eagle were to suffer such an attack, escape would be impossible.

Sea Emperor maneuvered the spaceship and quickly landed it on the nearest green planet.

Green planets are usually lush with vegetation and are generally suitable for life.

After the spacecraft landed, Sea Emperor also used some methods to determine that the current time travel point was 14.6 billion years ago.

Sea Emperor's original suggestion was for the three of them to stay in the spaceship and wait for the time to go back, but Gu Ding found it too boring. He decided to use this time to search for mineral veins on the planet and see if there were any energy ores that Robert could use.

The three of them got off the spaceship in high spirits because the oxygen content here was very high, and there were no toxic substances in the air of this planet that would harm the human body.

By analyzing the soil, Sea Emperor roughly deduced the types of mineral veins on this planet. Based on the formation conditions of those mineral veins, it was not difficult to deduce their distribution locations.

The three of Gu Ding were assigned the nearest location. After wandering around for about ten minutes, the Sea Emperor detected the location of the first mineral vein, which was almost exactly the same as his calculation.

"This ore is called Earth Fire Crystal. It is produced by absorbing the energy of the earth's fire over many years and belongs to the category of energy ores," Sea Emperor explained. "You can try to see if you can put it into Robert's body."

After taking out the metal sphere that Robert had transformed into, Gu Ding attached an Earth Fire Crystal to it.

One minute, two minutes... I waited for fifteen minutes and there was still no response.

"It seems this ore is useless," Gu Ding shook his head. "Let's keep looking for others."

"A giant beast with an Eighth Order Gene Body is heading this way. You should take cover!" The Sea Emperor's detection range radius has increased to one thousand meters, giving it a much greater advantage in this environment.

Upon hearing this, the three of them scrambled up a large tree and used the dense foliage to conceal themselves.

A colossal beast soon came into view. It was a giant feline over twenty meters long, moving with terrifying speed, its spotted fur conveying a warning message.

"So beautiful!" Liliath couldn't help but exclaim.

Just then, the feline's ears twitched twice, and it then turned its gaze to the tree where Gu Ding and the other two were hiding, before pouncing on them.

Gu Ding and Liliath fled immediately, while Bigge struck in an instant. He was faster than the feline, appearing below the large cat's throat in a flash. His left hand, shaped like a knife, was raised high, and a sharp burst of energy erupted, slicing directly into the cat's throat. The giant beast immediately slumped to its knees.

Gu Ding and Liliath witnessed this scene, both of them somewhat shocked. Bigge's killing of the Golden Crocodile was indeed surprising, but everyone assumed it was the result of a major battle. Now, however, it seemed the Eighth Order Gene Body had no chance against Bigge at all. That was a feline Gene Beast, renowned for its speed and reflexes among its peers.

"Are you alright?" Bigge handed the Energy Crystal Orb from the feline's body to Gu Ding.

"It's alright. Eighth Order Gene Body is something that Lily and I can't handle with our current strength." Gu Ding shook his head, still feeling that his strength was insufficient.

"Just leave it to me!" Bigge smiled honestly.

"Bigge, let them deal with the Gene Beast that are not even at the eighth rank. Don't interfere. Take this opportunity to let the two of them practice their combat skills!" The Sea Emperor's voice suddenly entered the ears of Bigge and the other two.

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Gu Ding grinned and nodded.
