After absorbing and digesting the research results on Axiom Arc up to the present, Li Xingkong also gained a relatively in-depth understanding of their current research progress.
Although the props involving time have taken shape, there is still one crucial problem that has not been solved: the grandfather Paradox.
The so-called grandfather Paradox refers to the idea that if you could Traversal time, killing your grandparents before your father was born would create a contradiction.
You went back in time and killed your young grandfather. With your grandfather dead, there was no father, and without a father, there would be no you. So, who killed your grandfather?
Although the Axiom Arc now has a time machine, those who travel back in time cannot interfere with the past.
Just like the small-scale Xingkong they excel at, actions on one side of the space cannot interfere with those on the other.
The same applies to the experimenters who traveled back in time; no matter what they did, they couldn't change what had already happened, or even interact with things from the past.
This kind of time travel isn't what they want; what they want is the real ability to change the past.
The key to overcoming all of this now is finding the so-called time reset point.
The three major powers were also clueless about this time reset point; they could only speculate within a considerable range based on existing observation methods and theoretical foundations.
After all, no one has ever seen what a reset point is, nor does anyone know how a time reset point works.
Everyone is guessing, or rather, gambling.
Gambling is not a good thing.
But you can't not participate in this kind of thing. You know it's a gamble, but what if you don't follow through? Then there's no chance of anything happening.
It would probably take Albert several years to fully digest all this knowledge, so Li Xingkong naturally wouldn't wait that long.
Now that he's finished one phase of his mission, it's time for him to get out and get some exercise.
Li Xingkong connected with the bracelet using his Divine Sense and made contact with Kan Yun, the logistics steward he hadn't seen in a long time.
Even Kan Yun was somewhat surprised to learn that Li Xingkong had already absorbed all the content.
Li Xingkong's speed is absolutely unprecedented; she has never seen anyone absorb information so quickly.
Fortunately, knowledge cannot be faked, and the data loading nodes are recorded in detail, so there is no such thing as concealment.
When Kan Yun arrived, she saw Li Xingkong's reception log, which was hundreds of times higher than that of an ordinary person, and the fact that there hadn't been a single additional logistical request since he arrived. Her expression changed.
This guy is just too terrifying.
If it weren't for the fact that the modification of the Axiom Arc was already enough to be called immortal, she would really be interested in Li Xingkong's body.
The energy and potential contained within this body were something even she couldn't quite fathom.
After reviewing the loading point logs, Kan Yun then looked at the octopus-tentacle-like loading interface that Li Xingkong had modified.
Only he can use this thing; no one else could handle the speed of knowledge loading.
She originally intended for Li Xingkong and Albert to have a knowledge loading time limit of about 10 years, but Li Xingkong's speed has indeed disrupted her plans.
"According to the established plan, there's really nothing for you to share..."
Kan Yun reached out and swiped, and a light screen appeared in front of her. As she scanned the screen up and down, a long string of text flew across it. She seemed to be trying to find a project suitable for Li Xingkong to participate in.
The light screen flipped for about ten minutes before Kan Yun's gaze suddenly stopped.
"Li, you're from Divine Land People, right?"
"Yes, Divine Land is my homeland. Is there a related mission?"
Li Xingkong became interested; it had been quite some time since he had returned to Divine Land to visit.
"Hmm, an anomaly has indeed been discovered in Divine Land, near a planet called Earth Star. According to the data, that should be Divine Land's home planet, and also your hometown."
"Of course, I grew up on Earth Star."
Kan Yun stared at the light screen, a slightly strange expression on her face.
"Then you really might have to get involved in this mission."
She reached out and tossed a message into Li Xingkong's hand.
Li Xingkong took it and saw that it was a record that detected unusual spacetime data near Earth Star after comparing a large amount of data. The record had been there for some time, even when he was still traveling.
Following this entry, a new entry was added.
" The Holy Church of Truth has sent scholars to take over the region."
Li Xingkong recalled the dark figures he had seen on the space station, and coupled with Kan Yun's evaluation of the Holy Church of Truth, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Looking at the date, this log entry was posted 100 years ago.
He immediately felt a sense of unease; so much time had passed! There hadn't been a single sound from Earth Star.
Could it be...?
Li Xingkong's expression clearly darkened.
"Don't panic. Although these people are inherently cruel, this is the territory of the Kingdom of Fixed Light. They wouldn't dare to act recklessly. At the very least, they can't personally attack people of your civilization."
Kan Yun clearly noticed the change in Li Xingkong's expression, but still mentioned it.
'However, even without personally getting involved, manipulating people's hearts and stirring up trouble are equally adept at their work.'
"A hundred years have passed... So, do you want to take on this mission?"
"Yes, you must accept it."
Li Xingkong insisted on it.
How could I not accept that! That's Earth Star, after all.
Although the main force of Divine Land has been transferred to the capital star system, Earth Star is the source of Divine Land. How can we feel at ease sending these guys there?
Moreover, Li Xingkong vaguely remembered that he had a god-sister left behind on Earth Star.
And then there are those few clowns Ji Nanzhi...
There are too many people on Earth Star worth staying for; he has to go and see them no matter what.
"Alright, because you are a member of this civilization and represent our Kilometer Arc, even though you joined this mission later, your influence carries more weight than theirs."
Seeing that Li Xingkong had decided to accept the offer, Kan Yun quickly began preparing the treaty and documents.
"You can set off now. Once the documents are signed and approved, the primary investigation authority near Earth Star will be transferred to you. After obtaining the investigation authority, you can repatriate them. Hopefully, your home planet hasn't suffered too much damage."
"OK, the situation is urgent. No need to thank me, I'll head out now."
If they didn't know, that would be fine, but now that Li Xingkong knows the news, there's no reason to wait any longer.
It would be best to hurry back and take a look.
If Earth Star is ravaged by these guys, Li Xingkong really won't be polite.
