I Need a Cheat

"If I had the support of the Heavenly Blade Series, things might not have turned out this way."

"Fine. You have Heavenly Blade Seven now. Try again." He Xi didn't think much of it. Even if she gave Angel Yan ten Heavenly Blade Sevens, they still wouldn't outcalculate her Heavenly Base Computing Group.

"He Xi, how are things going over there? Has Angel Yan inherited the family business yet? Earth is so boring. After I see Hua Ye, I'll go to Angel City. How about bringing Liangbing along too?" On Earth at night, with nothing better to do, Su Xinghe decided to contact He Xi. There was little point in discussing space-time with Liangbing anymore, but he could talk to He Xi about the Void or some other advanced technology.

"Not yet. She's still playing the God of Thunder here. She's starting to look a bit like a queen, but her setup is a little lacking. I'll upgrade her later. Why do you have time to call me? Is Liangbing not keeping you happy?"

"Ugh..." Su Xinghe had no idea how He Xi knew he was with Liangbing. The only explanation he could come up with was that Xinyue had told her.

"Things are fine. Liangbing and I talked a little about the concept of space-time. The space-time sequence can currently only use spatial abilities to a limited extent—that is, wormholes. We have no clue how to use other spatial abilities, or even how to approach the concept of time. She said that space-time at its ultimate level can stand against the Void, but with current technology, time sequences are impossible to realize on a physical level."

"But I think Keisha understood the Void, so I wanted to talk to you about whether we could fight the Void from another angle."

"I thought you were calling because you missed me. Turns out it's because of the Void. You'll have to come to Angel City to discuss that. It's too complicated to explain over a call. Time is a theoretical concept, after all. You can consider it to exist, or you can consider it not to exist. The same goes for space."

"But the biggest difference between space and time is that space gives us a very tangible experience, while time doesn't."

"Space Principal once studied time. After Liangbing left, I studied it too. Some things can be done. For example, you can see the past through a certain point. But the timeline can't be reversed. Even if you see the past, you can't change anything. Maybe it can be changed, but we just can't do it. It's like some kind of barrier, or a rule that limits us."

"If we could break that limit, perhaps space-time could stand against the Void. But even if we really figured out time, it would probably take another hundred thousand years or more. Who knows what things would be like by then?"

"Don't worry. The Void isn't that scary. There are still ways to suppress it. Take it slowly. Anyway, I'll stop here—she passed the first trial."

A certain kind of barrier. Thinking about the powerful gods in many fantasy worlds, or the quasi-saints and saints of the primordial world, they could reach through the river of time to pull people out. That was the law of time. But in the world of Super Seminary, the inability to use time was probably a problem with the world itself.

If the time sequence wasn't supported, then what about the Void? Su Xinghe wondered: if space-time at its ultimate level could stand against the Void, then the Void should be a concept on the same level as space-time. Since the time sequence wasn't supported, the complete Void sequence probably wasn't supported either.

If that was the case, it would make perfect sense that Carl and the others could use Void matter or Void abilities, but couldn't summon the true Void.

If so, there was no need to worry. Time and the Void were the same. If the Void fully entered this universe, then the time sequence would be supported too. In a battle between complete space-time and the Void, it was anyone's guess who would win.

After thinking for a long time, he still had no clue, so Su Xinghe gave up. He knew the general course of events from here on out. He just had to keep Hua Ye and the Triangular Bodies in check. As for everything else, he could only take it one step at a time. Angel Yan would smoothly inherit the throne on the angels' side.

But he still had no solution to Hua Ye's Black Hole later on. Two of the Three Kings had both been taken out by black holes. After all, He Xi was his Guardian Angel. If she ended up inside a black hole, he'd be single all over again.

"Too bad. Although there are ways to temporarily suppress or escape the black hole, there's still no solution on the physical level. What a shame about my wife, He Xi. I'll have to see later if I can find a way to get her back." A black hole had too much mass to be directly destroyed with physical means. The only option was to learn Death God Karl's method: manipulate a star to blow apart a black hole, obtain Void matter from the universe's interlayer, then study a Void Engine similar to a Black Hole Engine and find a way to break out of the black hole.

But that was far too large a project. Only Death God Karl and Holy Keisha had done it in the Known Universe. He couldn't manage it yet, so he could only put it aside for now.

"Have a seat. You've passed all my trials, so you're ready to be the Angel Queen. I just spoke with Xiao Xing, and it suddenly occurred to me that although Keisha had us secretly research the Void back then..."

"Over the past two or three thousand years, the angels have indeed developed some Void technology and weapons. But when it comes to the Void, apart from Holy Keisha herself, the angels as a whole are still behind Death God Karl."

He Xi and Angel Yan sat by a bonfire in the garden. He Xi brought up the Void with Angel Yan. After all, when Holy Keisha was around, it had been strictly forbidden.

"Oh, I remember Holy Keisha telling me about this. But at the time, she only mentioned Sub-biological Engines."

"And since we were researching it too, why did Holy Keisha publicly claim that we shouldn't believe in the existence of the Void?"

"The Void itself is a theoretical concept that transcends the main biological plane. Using Carl's basic framework, I studied it for a long time, and eventually confirmed that Void creatures really do exist in this world."

"Death God Karl wants to use special means to open a connection between this universe and the Void, allowing Void deities to enter the main biological plane."

"Because the Void is unpredictable, Space Principal chose passive defense. He used the cosmic tree to simulate the Void and, through special means, obtain related Void matter. Then he developed Anti-Void and later joined forces with the angels to develop God River Power, which is now known as Galaxy Power."

"That was also because the Void was unpredictable, and because there had been so many theories about the threat of the Void at the time."

"Holy Keisha didn't want the angel civilization, which had only just united, to fall into panic over this. So she publicly declared that no such thing as the Void existed in this world, and told everyone not to believe in it."

"Actually, the Void might not be the true Void at all, because we don't know what the so-called Void beyond the main biological plane really is. The term 'Void' is just like 'time'—we came up with it to define something unknown."
