Although Lin Xian had some doubts about the historical truths that Wei Shengjin had mentioned,
there was at least one thing that could be certain now…
The Fourth Dreamland had completely disappeared.
Many things had fundamentally changed.
The mysterious old man was gone, and the so-called Space-time Police Bureau and Space-Time Courthouse must have gone as well, so by extension…
the unfounded charges against him must also have vanished.
Regardless,
having transformed from a historical criminal back into an innocent civilian, Lin Xian felt considerably relieved.
From this conclusion, it wasn’t hard to guess…
The mysterious old man in the Fourth Dreamland was likely Copernicus himself.
It was he who ultimately stole Jask’s entangled state of time-space particle.

This particle must have helped him a lot, perhaps not only in returning the space-time traveler…
Copernicus must have discovered more secrets from that particle, which allowed him to grasp more of the space-time laws and establish the Space-time Police Bureau and Space-Time Courthouse under his control.

But in the instant that Jask destroyed the entangled state of time-space particle,
the future that belonged to Copernicus vanished.
His centuries-long plan thus failed, and the course of the future steered toward the one Jask had hoped for.
“So…”
Lin Xian thought to himself:
“The world line 0.0000000 is probably the future that Copernicus hoped to achieve.”
“And the world line 0.0000042 is probably the future that Jask hoped to achieve.”
What about before those?
Because before the Fourth Dreamland, Liu Feng’s space-time clock had not been zero-calibrated, so the space-time curvatures of the previous dream worlds could not be detected.
But even without knowing their space-time curvatures, that didn’t prevent them from being factually existent, different world lines.
The First, Second, and Third Dreamlands—whose futures were they hoped for and created by?
“No, that’s not right.”
Lin Xian suddenly realized.
The changes in these future worlds, the catalysts and culprits, were actually himself!
Although he wasn’t the behind-the-scenes driver…
The reason these future worlds had changed was, in fact, all related to his own actions!
In the First Dreamland, which had remained unchanged for 23 years, it all started with a small Rhein Cat prying at the gears of space-time, eventually propelled by Professor Xu Yun’s hibernation pod filling liquid into another world line, arriving at the future of the Second Dreamland.
The leap from the Second to the Third Dreamland originated from his own establishment of the Rhein Company.
The jump from the Third to the Fourth Dreamland was due to his delivering the cold fusion manuscript to Dragon Science Academy’s Gao Yan.
The shift from the Fourth to the Fifth Dreamland occurred when Jask destroyed the entangled state of time-space particle.
Although he was not the one who directly executed this act, he had ignited the chain of events.
“It’s just that…
now I can only act as a catalyst, yet I lack the ability to change the world ‘actively’ like Copernicus and Jask.”
Lin Xian realized that this was his greatest shortcoming.
Jask had his plan to colonize Mars, and he also had the capabilities to execute it;
Copernicus had his Space-time Police Bureau and Space-time Courthouse plan, and he had the power to fulfill it;
In contrast, himself…
He lacked a clear plan, and he lacked sufficient power.
So, the next step…
“Should start from these two points, gradually achieving the future I desire, completing my own closed loop!”
“Of course, the prerequisite is to join the Genius Club first and see what the ultimate purpose of this group’s busyness is.
Only then can I devise a plan of my own and plan my future,”
“And the matter of expanding my own power, indeed needs to be put on the agenda as well.
I must fully strengthen the Rhein Company!”
…
The current situation was as such.
Although he didn’t obtain particularly useful information from Wei Shengjin, the development and changes in the Fifth Dreamland at least gave Lin Xian new insights on the relationship between space-time, the future, and the closed loop.
However, these considerations could wait until after leaving the Dream World.
The Fifth Dreamland world was still a mystery to him, requiring careful exploration.
Lin Xian looked down.
At the device in Wei Shengjin’s hand that resembled a metal detector:
“The metal detector in your hand, is it used for finding the hafnium alloy safe?”
“Yes,”
Wei Shengjin nodded.
“This is a long story…
I started hibernating when I was a teenager, hibernated for more than 200 years, and when I woke up, I remembered nothing; even though I have a memory notebook and memory recording, and I believe these memories are real.
But…
I inevitably don’t feel any authenticity, unable to sense the existence of my former self.”
“Under the guidance of a psychological counselor, I quickly started a new life on Mars, working, getting married, having children, and holding my grandchildren.
I walked every step, and I passed the second phase of my life very happily and blissfully,”
“At first, I didn’t feel any regrets because I indeed lived a very happy life.
However…
from the moment someone told me that my name was Wei Shengjin, I lived as Wei Shengjin, but I was not the Wei Shengjin from Earth, that teenage boy.”
“I don’t know if you can empathize, but as a member of Earth’s humanity, the teenage Wei Shengjin disappeared the moment I entered the hibernation pod.
I often wonder—”
“The one who woke up from hibernation 200 years later—is it the original Wei Shengjin?
Or is it someone else who was told they were Wei Shengjin?
Am I really Wei Shengjin?
Am I still the teenager who went into the hibernation pod?”
