The main reason High Engineer had returned this time was to contact the Witch of Time. After making contact, he planned to return to the Civilization Council.
Before that, however, he still had one thing to do—to completely evolve the "Spatiotemporal Mainframe."
The three conditions for evolving the Spatiotemporal Mainframe were "hardware," "system," and "system space."
The "hardware" consisted of the megastructure, while the "system" used the Level 6 version from High Engineer's previous life. Finally, there was the creation of the "system space."
This was actually the easiest of the three conditions to satisfy, especially given how many spatiotemporal branches he controlled.
That was because the "system space" of the Spatiotemporal Mainframe was composed of "spatiotemporal branches." In theory, this kind of "system space" could have countless "disks."
At this moment, inside the mainframe, every lattice on the boundless "crystal lattice" was undergoing "system-space development."
New lattices "sprouted" from the surfaces of the original lattices, like crystals growing. This was the thin-filming and transparency of the spatiotemporal structure, revealing the new cosmic laws being overlaid within.
Countless "timelines" spread and intertwined within the lattice like glowing nerves. Within these "timelines" were "species," "civilizations," and even "ascension coordinates"!
"I'm saying, did you people have it too good because you never experienced the 'Dark Forest Era'? You still haven't moved away? You're practically asking to die!"
Seeing this scene, High Engineer silently grumbled.
It had to be known that although his Spatiotemporal Mainframe was inferior in performance to the one belonging to the "Spatiotemporal Administration," that one was said to possess the highest performance in the universe. It had been specially built with the technology of a Level 9 civilization and could sever the timeline of any parallel universe, creating an effect similar to the "Old World Lord's" forced descent back
