Those words made Li Wenyuan fall into a short contemplation. After the ‘Professor’ mentioned another name for the ‘Ring of Time,’ the ‘Time Ephemera,’ he realized what the ‘Time Scale’ that led him there was.

That thing seemed to be the scale of the ‘Ring of Time,’ and ‘scale’ was definitely something that only ‘lifeforms’ had. In other words, the ‘Time Ephemera’ could already appear in the ‘universe’ as a type of ‘lifeform.’

That reminded him of the ‘Void Bug.’ Although the ‘Void Bug’ looked structurally different from any other lifeform, and it was indeed not a ‘lifeform,’ it could still be called a ‘bug.’ Perhaps it retained the characteristics of a ‘lifeform’ to a certain extent, and the ‘Time Ephemera’ also seemed to be a kind of ‘bug.’

Hence, Li Wenyuan told the ‘Professor’ about the ‘Time Scale,’ and the ‘Professor’ was very surprised.

“So He can already do that? Then perhaps, there will be many changes in the future ‘cycle’…”

“What do you mean?”

“Because this means that the ‘Time Ephemera’ can already take the initiative to influence the ‘universe.'” The ‘Professor’ immediately explained.

“Although the ‘Time Ephemera’ represents the ‘time’ of the ‘universe,’ He couldn’t have any influence on the ‘world’ outside the Black Hole in the past. He could at most create auditory hallucinations for individual intellectual life, and it had to be limited to the surroundings of the Black Hole.”

“Perhaps, after participating in the ‘universe experiment,’ even He can’t defy the fundamental rules. He can only exert influence to a limited extent.”

“However, the appearance of this ‘Time Scale’ proves that He can now exert influence on the outside world in the form of ‘matter.’ This is a huge breakthrough from 0 to 1. This means that we can come into contact with ‘Him’ very early in the future and then retrieve our ‘fragments.'”

“You should know that the only places that can store the ‘fragment of the past’ are the ‘Void’ and here. Compared to the Black Hole, the difficulty of finding the ‘Void’ is much higher. The sooner we ‘awaken,’ the more time we have left in the ‘universe,’ and the more things we can do.”

“As long as there’s enough ‘time,’ it’s possible to capture that ‘foreign will’ or directly ‘break the cycle.’ This discovery is indeed significant.”

Li Wenyuan did not expect such a scale to have such a huge impact. Moreover, it sounded like it was a good thing for them.

Since the mysterious ‘foreign will’ was mentioned at that time, Li Wenyuan also asked about it.

“Even if you didn’t ask, I would have told you. This concerns our hard work and the nature of this ‘universe experiment.'” The ‘Professor’ waved his hand, and the surrounding ‘universe scenery’ changed into a highly developed City Planet.

They stood in space and looked down at the planet.

“That ‘foreign will’ is the greatest mystery of this universe and also the most dangerous existence.”

“There are no signs of its appearance and disappearance, but traces of it can be clearly felt in the historical records of the civilizations that were destroyed.”

“And we suspect that it is the existence that led this ‘universe experiment.'”

The City Planet below, which was originally in good condition, suddenly experienced a huge change. A huge amount of industrial exhaust was discharged into the atmosphere, and even the powerful purification ability of the City Planet could not solve it.

Not long after, the planet seemed to have gone into chaos. Explosions rose and fell on the surface of the planet. The entire City Planet was blown into ruins in a short while, and there were no traces of life.

As the scene changed, the ‘Professor’ began to talk about the influence of the ‘foreign will.’

“This is a civilization from an unknown era that was invaded by the ‘foreign will.'”

“The arrival of this ‘foreign will’ has messed up the peaceful civilization. This City Planet is one of its masterpieces. As the mother planet of this civilization, although the production ability of the City Planet is not high, it is a spiritual Holy Land for the entire civilization.”

“Originally, there were only leisure and entertainment areas on this planet. After all, for a civilization that could be invaded by a ‘foreign will,’ resources were no longer a problem for them. However, after its arrival, this ‘Entertainment City Planet’ was re-planned as an ‘Industrial City Planet,’ and the former ‘paradise’ became an ‘exhaust hell.'”

“If that were all, it would have been fine. However, the ‘foreign will’ went crazy and forcefully changed the lifestyle of the entire civilization. In the end, the species in the civilization cracked and were destroyed in civil strife.”

“Although that ‘foreign will’ left in a carefree manner, the people of that civilization still left a record.”

As he spoke, the environment changed again. They came to a monument that stood in the ruins of the earth. The words on it were chilling. The general content was that they had been invaded by a mysterious existence, and everyone was forced to obey the rule of a certain will.

In the process, the will displayed unbelievable and terrifying power, such as being able to violate the law of conservation of matter and increase the resources of the entire civilization out of nowhere.

It could really ‘create something out of nothing,’ allowing an empty universe warehouse to instantly produce an explosive amount of resources without causing any commotion. The cameras in the warehouse even recorded the process of the sudden appearance of resources.

Upon hearing that, Li Wenyuan, who had already gained some understanding of the ‘essence of the universe,’ knew that it was definitely the use of ‘data manipulation’ to transform one type of ‘data’ into another. In essence, it was the same as the law of conservation of matter.

But what the ‘foreign will’ did next was even more exaggerated.

The monument recorded how the ‘foreign will’ had ‘reversed time’ for the dead scientist. Although those people did not know that time had been reversed at first, due to the number of times it had been done, almost everyone had become aware of it.

And that was in line with what Li Wenyuan had learned from the ‘Void.’ According to ‘Him’ from an unknown period of time ago, there was once a civilization that thanked the ‘foreign will’ for that. Because objectively speaking, the behavior of the ‘foreign will’ in reversing time had indeed greatly helped that civilization.

“…However, the ‘foreign will’ seemed to get more ‘skilled’ subsequently, and every time it could perfectly ‘destroy’ the civilization…It was as if it already knew what the outcome of that civilization would be, so it quickly gave up on that civilization…”

“And…manipulate time?” He also thought of the ‘Time Ephemera,’ but he didn’t say much. Instead, he asked the ‘Professor’ about the purpose of the ‘foreign will.’

“After combining the results of thousands of ‘cycles,’ the ‘foreign will’…seemed to be ‘nurturing a poisonous bug.’ It was looking for a powerful civilization that would not be destroyed no matter what. That was also why it always chose those powerful civilizations to invade..”
