"Yes, the extended restart cycle proves that it has affected the main timeline."
"If time were a straight line, this effect would be impossible. Therefore, I am certain that time must move in an arc. Only when it moves in an arc can there be overlap, and only then can it affect the main timeline."
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yun asked, "So, it's not just you restarting, but the main timeline is also restarting because of the parallel timeline you're in?"
Ling Yi nodded. Sure enough, only when communicating with colleagues could the other party quickly grasp Ling Yi's points.
"But have you ever considered that each time you reboot, you're simply creating a completely new parallel timeline?"
However, Gu Yun himself refuted this conclusion after he finished speaking.
"No, if a new parallel timeline is created every time you restart, then your current parallel timeline will never affect the parallel timeline above it."
"Each reboot always restarts the (N+1)th parallel timeline. If the timelines are parallel, then it will never affect the Nth timeline."
Ling Yi gave Gu Yun a thumbs up; it had taken him a long time to figure this out.
But Gu Yun instantly grasped the key point.
"If time moves in an arc, then it makes sense."
So, do you think time is energy or a measure?
Ling Yi shook his head. "Both, I suppose. It's both energy and measurement. Only time, being an energy state, can be reset. But similarly, time is also a measurement; only with measurement can there be a reference scale."
"That makes sense." Gu Yun pondered for a moment, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, slammed his hand on the table.
"I see, I understand." With that, he hurried off again.
The three were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
" Old Gu is always like this. It seems your Time Arc theory has indeed inspired him," Bai Jinshan said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Ling Yi then looked at Director Bao and asked, " Director Bao, do you have any books on Hypnosis or Meditation?"
What do you need this for?
"I can't sleep, because if I fall asleep, the brain restarts itself. But the brain always needs rest. I want to use Hypnosis or Meditation to ensure my brain gets as much rest as possible without falling asleep."
"If you ask others, they might not have it, but our Special Incident Bureau happens to have this information."
"However, forget about Hypnosis. There's a book that's definitely suitable for your current situation. Wait here, I'll go get it for you."
Director Bao finished speaking and turned to leave.
However, they returned in less than ten minutes.
He handed three A4 sheets of paper to Ling Yi.
"This is Visualization Technique from Daoist School, a relatively basic method of cultivating Divine Power. Ordinary people who practice it can quickly restore their Divine Power."
"If someone with the aptitude for cultivation practices it, they can gain Divine Power Divine Ability abilities."
Ling Yi looked at Director Bao with a strange expression. " Uncle, this is an urban world, right? You're telling me about cultivation techniques? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
Seeing Ling Yi's gaze, Director Bao patted him on the shoulder and said, " Ling Yi, this world isn't as simple as you think. Otherwise, why do you think the Special Incident Bureau was established?"
"So, there really are cultivators?" Ling Yi asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, but it's most likely Taiyi from what you understand as cultivation."
"This world has no Magic Power, no Internal Energy, no Spiritual Qi —things that only exist in novels."
"However, there are some things I will tell you once you have cultivated your Spiritual Sense."
Gu Yun clearly didn't want to say more.
Ling Yi nodded, then began to examine the three A4 sheets of paper.
After reading it, Ling Yi's expression was somewhat strange. Was he sure this wasn't a cultivation technique?
Thank you.
"No need to be so polite, let me take you to a place to rest."
After a pause, he said to Bai Jinshan, " Professor Bai, I'll take Ling Yi to rest first."
"Okay!" Bai Jinshan was also a little tired, and he wanted to go back and get some sleep.
He hasn't rested since yesterday; he's getting old, and his body can't keep up.
Soon, Ling Yi was taken to a separate dormitory room.
The dormitory room only had one bed, one sofa, and one table; besides that, there was nothing else. It looked very basic.
"The conditions are a bit basic, I hope you don't mind."
Director Bao pushed open a door and said, "This is the restroom, the place for showering and washing up."
"Message me if you need anything."
"Thank you." Ling Yi nodded.
He doesn't care where he lives anymore; it's completely irrelevant to him.
"Then you should get some rest. If you need anything, just give me a call."
After Director Bao left, Ling Yi looked at the so-called Visualization Technique on the A4 paper again and couldn't help but frown and sigh.
"It seems this world is far more mysterious than I imagined!"
Visualization Technique is a method of visualizing or contemplating specific patterns in one's mind.
This image is the visualization diagram, and it is the core of the entire Visualization Technique.
Only by imprinting this visualization image in your mind can you proceed to the next step, which is visualization.
To visualize a picture through thought, and to contemplate that picture with one's spirit—this is the Visualization Technique.
This method allows one to put their Divine Power into a special state, which not only allows for rapid recovery of Divine Power but also enhances Divine Power.
According to the description of Visualization Technique, if one can influence reality with one's Spiritual Sense, then the Visualization Technique is considered complete.
Ling Yi always gives off a feeling of a sudden change in style.
The appearance of this Visualization Technique caused the art style to go astray.
But Ling Yi couldn't help but think of the ancient palaces on the moon and the legends of ancient gods.
Moreover, Ling Yi did discover some interesting things during his previous seclusion.
However, these are issues that need to be considered later. Right now, I need to focus on curing my brain cancer.
Place the Visualization Technique on the table.
Ling Yi sat cross-legged on the bed and began to Transformation the image in his mind.
Ling Yi thought it would be difficult, but he succeeded on his first Transformation.
At this moment, Ling Yi entered a profound and mysterious state, as if he had entered an independent space.
In the air above this space, a pattern that looked exactly like Daoist School talisman slowly floated up.
At this moment, Ling Yi felt his previously tired and throbbing brain receive a great sense of relief.
My entire consciousness felt as if it were being soaked in warm water, very comfortable.
At 2 PM, Ling Yi emerged from this mysterious state.
At this moment, Ling Yi felt a sense of ease he had never felt before.
"This Visualization Method is quite interesting, but I don't know its underlying principles, and what exactly is that image?"
"If there truly is Daoist School, then there should be more than just this one visualization diagram, right?"
Ling Yi could sense that this visualization would be of great use to him.
At least with this Visualization Technique, Ling Yi will no longer need to sleep and will be able to quickly recover his depleted energy, allowing him to persevere for longer.
The problem of not being able to sleep has finally been solved.
Ling Yi returned to the laboratory, only to find that Bai Jinshan was already there.
"Judging from your condition, you must have rested well. Did you succeed in the Visualization Technique?" Bai Jinshan asked.
"Hmm, Visualization Technique is easy; I succeeded on the first try. That solves one of my problems."
"Really?" Bai Jinshan asked in surprise.
Why do you ask that?
"I thought you'd fail too. We've studied that Visualization Technique as well, and nobody's ever succeeded."
"No one succeeded?"
"That's right, since none of us succeeded anyway. It seems you have a real talent for cultivation!" Bai Jinshan's tone clearly carried a hint of envy.
Ling Yi's expression was strange. Was this... difficult?
Isn't it just about memorizing the pattern and then visualizing it in your mind?
Seemingly aware of Ling Yi's thoughts, Bai Jinshan explained, "You probably don't know, but that visualization diagram is strange. It's easy to memorize, but very difficult to visualize."
"However, this is a good thing for you. Try to get more visualization diagrams from Director Bao later; you might actually be able to cultivate Divine Ability."
"What exactly is this Divine Ability?"
"You should ask Director Bao about that later; I don't know much about it either."
Ling Yi nodded and went to the Computer.
The extraction of Ancient Gene has reached 85%, with 100,000 samples extracted.
It is estimated that there will be around 110,000 to 120,000 samples after the extraction is completed.
There is enough for subsequent experiments.
"What are you planning to do next?" Bai Jinshan asked, pointing to the Computer screen.
I'll use one copy first to take a look.
"Use it? You're going to use it yourself?" Bai Jinshan exclaimed in surprise. "No way! There are Little White in the lab; we can use Little White for experiments. It's far too dangerous for you to use it yourself."
" Professor Bai, only by using it myself can I truly feel the specific Changes. Besides, even if I fail, I'll just be dead."
"Anyway, if it's blocked, it can be restarted."
"Uh!" Bai Jinshan really couldn't refute it for a moment.
"Besides, even if I don't quit, it will still restart when the time comes tomorrow."
"This... I still feel it's too dangerous."
Ling Yi shook his head. This was something he had already planned. Only by personally acting as Little White could he Perception the Changes in himself.
Only then can adjustments be made more effectively.
Time passed unnoticed, and at 4:45:21 PM on June 9th, the Ancient Gene from the Volcano Blue-Green Algae were completely extracted.
The temperature gradually rose, and once the temperature inside the instrument returned to normal, the machine slowly stopped operating.
As the machine stopped, the tank that originally contained Volcano Blue-Green Algae slowly opened.
The original blue-green algae had now turned into grayish-brown cesium.
It no longer looks like algae, but has turned into a layer of grayish-brown cesium lime.
"This thing really changed its form? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe it."
"Do you think this Volcano Blue-Green Algae is still alive?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "They're dead. The Volcano Blue-Green Algae died during the Rapid Speed Freeze. Ancient Gene can only perfectly Fusion other genes."
"But these Volcano Blue-Green Algae are clearly limited in some way; they don't Fusion many genes. Although they have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, the Rapid Speed changing environment has obviously exceeded their tolerance limit."
Ling Yi took out a test tube containing Ancient Gene.
The liquid inside the blue cesium is mostly a nutrient solution, used to ensure gene viability, while only one-third is Ancient Gene.
I opened the test tube and smelled it, but I couldn't smell anything.
Then it looked like it was being poured directly into its mouth.
