Zhou Yi confirmed again: "Is it really possible to change time?"

"Time is a concept artificially created; essentially, it describes the movement of all things."

Night God spoke, her eyes had returned to their normal state.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but recall the "slowing wave" of the Black Thorn group, so this is also a way to alter the flow of time?

He described the effect of this ability.

"No, that's not considered changing time; it's just a slowdown of matter and consciousness, unable to enter past motion trajectories."

"True time alteration involves entering past or future time points or timelines."

Night God explained seriously: "Although I haven't seen anyone with this ability, I received this information during observation just now. It should be recorded in my shell, but it cannot be directly read; only similar objects can trigger feedback."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but wonder.

Go back to the past, is that really possible?

If one could go back to the past, could one change it?

In the movies and comics he had seen, there was a grandmother paradox when going back to the past.

A person kills his young grandmother in the past; with the grandmother dead, there would be no father, and thus no him. Then who killed the grandmother?

It becomes another version of the chicken-and-egg problem.

"I can't answer these questions for you."

Night God showed great patience: "The four-dimensional space indeed seems capable of directly moving in the time dimension, just like we use length, width, and height."

"The organ you captured is called the 'Time Flow Device,' it comes from a powerful and mysterious high-dimensional lifeform named 'Time Master.'"

"The Time Master's body contains both the Time Flow Device and the Time Reverse Device, supporting its free travel along timelines. However, the one you have is just the remains of the Time Flow Device."

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Organ remains… The Time Master is dead?"

"That is possible."

Night God said: "If the Time Master were still alive, the Time Flow Device wouldn't leak from its body. Even though it has many Time Flow Devices and Time Reverse Devices internally, they are like its eyes or hands; like us, we wouldn't throw away our eyes and hands easily, right?"

Zhou Yi thought, what a strange metaphor.

But he responded affirmatively.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Yi recounted his capture using the four-dimensional space channel.

Night God listened carefully, then her eyebrows relaxed: "Ah, I see. I retract my previous judgment. This Time Master should still be alive."

"You have some very peculiar things, being able to excavate across space bubbles…"

She curiously examined Zhou Yi's Light Core Right Arm.

"Can I touch it?"

"Feel free."

Night God then grabbed Zhou Yi's hand, twisted it in different directions, tried folding and stretching it, finally forming it into a fan shape.

Zhou Yi: "..."

Do you think my hand is a transformable toy?

"Indeed, it possesses high strength and excellent structure."

Night God praised, squeezing the hard outer shell of the Light Core, her face full of envy: "I also want a hand like this. Could you make one for me?"

"...Currently, we don't have the technology."

The opponent instantly looked disappointed.

Zhou Yi added: "If we master this technology in the future, I'll make you a hand and give it to you."

"Great!"

Night God immediately cheered up.

She looked at the continuously stretching and nesting Time Flow Device, seriously commenting, "The Time Master is enormous. Its true form cannot be described because its originating dimension is uncertain. Thus, even if someone sees its form, it may just be a partial projection."

"Aside from liking to move and glide along timelines, it also enjoys collecting various celestial bodies, integrating them into itself."

"Based on your narrative, I believe the four-dimensional space hole you touched becomes part of the Time Master's body. Perhaps it was once a star but has now transformed into some organ of the Time Master."

"So, capturing a damaged Time Flow Device from there is akin to finding various tissues inside most living organisms, some intact, some deteriorating."

"Earlier, I thought you found it in a three-dimensional or lower-dimensional world, suggesting the remains had leaked into lower-dimensional space."

Zhou Yi was stunned: "You mean… I captured it inside its stomach?"

"That's hard to determine, as the Time Master's anatomy is unverifiable. You might have stuck your hand into its brain, stirring around until it captured the Time Flow Device."

Night God speculated.

Zhou Yi cautiously asked: "It won't get angry, right?"

If angered, Earth might face destruction.

"No."

Night God waved: "Such a damaged Time Flow Device to the Time Master is like a human cell, unnoticed upon its damage or disappearance."

"Rest assured, you can continue capturing as long as it's natural decay or dying organs. According to life's rules, the Time Master won't oppose it."

"But capturing intact living organs is another matter, possibly unachievable since the Transmutator Level organs with strong vitality… you couldn't seize them."

Zhou Yi thought it's true.

With a significant power gap, conflicts of interest don't arise, allowing peaceful coexistence.

The same applies to the relationship between Heavenly People and humans.

Zhou Yi suddenly thought: "You mentioned it would collect other celestial bodies and integrate them, transforming planets into its organs directly?"

"Yes."

Night God said: "But in the eyes of low-dimensional world beings, it's a destroyer, erasing entire worlds. It merely transports them from one space to another."

Zhou Yi pondered.

The Time Master sounds too similar to Mud Tree People and Cave People legends of Doomsday Beast.

Doomsday Beast devours worlds, depicted in Mud Tablet like a chick pecking rice.

"Following Circular Flow, its enormous, thick neck, its world-capturing mouth, a huge body, consuming a world…"

Night God shook her fan confidently after hearing Zhou Yi's description: "These characteristics are indeed of the Time Master."

"Time Master requires Circular Flow to complete the projection. It selectively integrates worlds with developed, unique civilizations or mature life forms into itself."

"Its bizarre form is merely a result of high-dimensional projection into low dimensions."

With the identity of this four-dimensional being confirmed.

Zhou Yi refocused on the Time Flow Device.

According to Night God, this jellyfish-like organism is one of Time Master's organs, accelerating time towards the future.

However, the specifics of its use remain unknown even to Night God.

Zhou Yi assembled core technical personnel of the company, including electromechanical experts Turing and Shi Gandang, Program Department 703 and Walker, and Medical Department's Da Vinci and Octopus Brother Bi Qi.

They conducted various observations and tests on the Time Flow Device.

The conclusion was soon reached.

Da Vinci reported: "Director. The substance cannot undergo a biopsy as no tool can cut it. Existing medical and biological tools, whether scalpel or laser, pass right through without substantial contact and effect."

"Microfield analysis of it requires targeted Light Core tools."

"Even just maintaining activity, it demonstrates a unique effect. Experimental bacteria placed within its coverage area rapidly iterate and grow."

"The Time Flow Device accelerates life's movement and cycle. We tested 3 million experimental bacteria, with average growth at 4500 times the normal environment, a significant finding."

"We currently envision two feasible applications."

"First, accelerating the division and growth of life-extending stem cells, greatly compensating for the current shortage in medical cells."

"Second, acting upon Cave People to expedite colony integration and information consolidation, forming large-scale communities more promptly."

"Only micro-organisms growth can be timely monitored and supplied externally, allowing timely intervention if anything occurs."

It emphasized lastly: "Side effects are still unknown, requiring long-term observation of the Time Flow Device and experimental subjects."

Zhou Yi was already very satisfied.

Even this fragmented organ could save the company a considerable amount of time cultivating Cave People and life-extending stem cells.

Zhou Yi sought opinions from the Dong family.

"Using the Time Flow Device, Cave People can accelerate growth and development, but there are risks. Do you want to try?"

"We'll participate!"

The Dong family was enthusiastic: "Currently, Cave People urgently need numbers and time. Accelerating by 4500 times is ideal!"

"If we shorten colony cycles, we can quickly accumulate long-term early experiences and swiftly enter the golden development period."

"Mr. Zhou, we can dispatch 17 million Cave People per round into the culture dishes made by Doctor Da Vinci, lasting inside for 5 minutes. Equivalent to 22500 minutes outside, matching Cave People's lifecycle of 60 minutes, just the timespan for 375 generations!"

"Each branch combined with specific local plankton forms, improving the new generation with 375 generations of Cave People. Even if they fail, valuable corpses can provide comprehensive records!"

Zhou Yi thought, this is indeed a viable approach.

Cave People developed into biological computers.

Accumulating experiences and knowledge via plankton during the first phase primitive accumulation is crucial for their development on Earth.

Zhou Yi agreed.

The study of the Time Flow Device was formally handed over to the Medical Department, with Cat God assisting.

...

Now, it was the afternoon of the second day of the All Things Exhibition.

Zhou Yi was in a hurry, instructing Yuan Xiao to pack prepared items, boarding Hei Fu heading for the Heavenly Kingdom at high speed.
