Chapter 678: Chapter 39: Kill Jask_3 Chapter 678: Chapter 39: Kill Jask_3 “I’ve thought of something.”
Lin Xian set down the buttered bread he was holding and looked up at Yu Xi:
“Since the Time-Space Assassin was sent by Jask, where did the origin come from?
Just like you suddenly appeared before me, the Time-Space Assassin must have also appeared before Jask at some point in time.”
“Who would send a Time-Space Assassin back in time as a gift to Jask?
There’s no need to think about that—it must be Jask’s partner, co-conspirator, or even Jask himself in the future!
Hibernation Pod technology is almost perfected by now and it would take at most two years before it’s fully mass-produced and on the market.”
“So if Jask is willing, he could just use a Hibernation Pod to freeze himself and wake up hundreds of years later…
then from that era, which has mastered Time Travel Technology and is capable of building time machines, send a Time-Space Assassin back to the year 2024 for the past Jask to use.”
Yu Xi wiped the jam from the corner of her mouth.
She chuckled lightly:
“You’ve just thought of this?
I thought you would have realized it much earlier.”
“Since you’ve already thought of this and the Space-Time Elasticity has increased, I can also share a bit more of my views on this matter.

Traveling through time, obviously, is not as casual as you might imagine.
Otherwise, every era would be flooded with a large number of Space-Time Travelers, and that’s when space-time would really be messed up.”
Lin Xian nodded:
“I’ve thought about this as well, and so…
the necessary development of technology is not a requisite condition for human time travel; the reason why Space-Time Travelers are so rare must not be due to technical limitations, but because of some other kind of ‘condition,’ ‘energy,’ or ‘resource’ restriction.”
“It is because such conditions are extremely difficult to meet, or to say that some kind of resource is very rare, that traveling through time is not an easy feat…
Perhaps throughout the whole history of mankind, the number of Space-Time Travelers can be counted on one hand, just a handful of people.”
Directly, Lin Xian thought of the Space-Time Particles, equally rare and unpredictable in their ability to move through time.
“I don’t know if you are aware of the concept of Space-Time Particles.”
Lin Xian looked at Yu Xi:
“This is the only thing I have seen and known of in my current knowledge that can travel through time.
However, the one I caught no longer had any energy, and my scientists told me that a Space-Time Particle without energy is equivalent to garbage, with no utility whatsoever.”
“But then again, if this Space-Time Particle had been perfectly captured and its energy not exhausted…
what incredible functions could it serve?”
“I’ve pondered this question for a long time, and I’ve always felt that complete Space-Time Particles must have an exceedingly significant function.
Otherwise, why would there be such cutthroat competition to seize it?
This also indirectly shows that Space-Time Particles, being extremely rare, are absolutely worth their existence.”
“I couldn’t figure it out before, but now, seeing how powerful you and that Time-Space Assassin are…
I think I roughly understand—”
“Space-Time Particles must be the necessary resource for humans to achieve time travel!
If I’m not mistaken…
your travel from the future world, hundreds of years ahead, to the present must have also depleted a complete Space-Time Particle, right?”
…
Lin Xian looked into Yu Xi’s deep blue eyes.
He initially thought that this time, she would still fend him off with “I can’t tell you,” or “There’s no way to explain.”
But unexpectedly,
while smearing jam, she casually nodded:
“This conclusion isn’t hard to guess.
In fact, the moment you saw the Space-Time Particle, you should have realized it.”
“Yes, since you’ve guessed it, I can freely tell you now.
Yes, each Space-Time Traveler must expend a Space-Time Particle to complete the journey through time.
The specific details, rules, and precautions…
given the current state of Space-Time Elasticity, I’m definitely not able to tell you, and it might be a very, very long time before I can.”
“After all, in this era, the year 2024, there’s still a long way to go before the development of Time Travel Technology and the construction of Time Shuttle Machines.
The detailed theories will probably have to wait until that day comes before you can truly understand them.”
“No matter.”
Lin Xian waved his hand:
“This information is enough.
Combining it with my deductions, it’s not difficult to guess that at some point in the future, Jask acquired a Space-Time Particle and then started this centuries-long plan of the Time-Space Assassin.”
“Or let’s be even bolder in our thinking.
Who’s to say that the Space-Time Particle discovered by Liu Feng is the first in human history?
There could have been several Space-Time Particles that reached Earth before this, and Jask, with his formidable aerospace technology…
could have perfectly captured one long before.”
The more he thought about it, the clearer his thoughts became:
“Then it wouldn’t be difficult to explain why the Space-Time Particle observed by Liu Feng was chasing directly toward Earth…
Its target was never Earth!

Not the Millennium Stakes!
Not Huang Que!
Not anyone…
but rather the Space-Time Particle in Jask’s possession!”
“And it’s not necessarily only in Jask’s hands; since Jask has a Space-Time Particle, it naturally doesn’t rule out that others might also have them!
Who could resist the temptation of having one’s future self send a ‘Terminator,’ a ‘Super Saiyan’?”
