Chapter 1372: Chapter 37 Unstable Millennium Stakes

Liu Feng was stunned by Gao Wen’s marvelous idea.

After thinking for a while, he asked:

"Does the Millennium Stake need protection when hammering down... Is there any possibility of unsuccessful hammering? "

"According to my understanding, this behind-the-scenes Black Hand, the powerful ’Mysterious Power’ can manipulate Space-Time Particles, misleading Einstein to see a false future... This means their power exceeds our imagination."

"Not to mention, is there any way for us humans to stop the Millennium Stakes from hammering down? We can only watch helplessly as these girls dissipate, unable to do anything. The only variable, perhaps, is these girls would die prematurely due to various accidents."

"However, according to my speculation, as long as the substance composing these girls does not dissipate, even if they die, it won’t affect the hammering down of the Millennium Stakes or the locking of history."

"From the human perspective, it seems one must be alive, must have life to be considered valuable... But in reality, for the universe, from a physics perspective, being alive or dead, as long as the substance forming the body doesn’t change, strictly speaking, there is no essential difference."

Lin Xian nodded:

"Liu Feng makes a valid point, the Millennium Stakes would not be interrupted by the girls’ deaths, that would simply make it too easy to stop, too prone to accidents."

"What Gao Wen wants to express is, Einstein’s existence is to ensure the process of hammering down the Millennium Stakes smoothly, rather than protecting the girls’ personal safety."

"Think about it, Einstein cannot even see the Millennium Stakes dissipate, doesn’t even know who the Millennium Stake is, how can he protect these girls?"

"Think back to the time the last Millennium Stake CC dissipated precisely at the time the World-Ending White Light appeared... Perhaps Gao Wen’s guess might be the correct answer—"

"[Everything, all purposes and means, are to ensure the Millennium Stakes hammer down smoothly, fulfilling the mission of locking history; and the best weapon to stop the Millennium Stake from hammering down, to thwart the ’Mysterious Power’s’ plan... is the Universe Constant 42!] "

In an instant.

All clues connected.

"Mysterious Power" seems to want Einstein to become the "Stake Guardian," on one hand, guaranteeing the smooth execution of the Millennium Stakes plan; on the other hand, preventing humans from understanding the truth of the Universe Constant 42, avoiding the situation becoming uncontrollable.

"Then, there’s another question!"

Liu Feng raised his hand:

"If as you both said, the World-Ending White Light on August 29, 2624, at 00:42 is related to the Millennium Stakes. Then why is only CC special after 600 years?"

"Why did all the previous Millennium Stakes dissipate normally, but CC received a World-Ending White Light?"

...

Liu Feng’s words left Gao Wen silent, unable to answer.

It’s indeed baffling, lacking logical foundation.

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

Thought for a while.

Then softly said:

"I feel, maybe because..."

"[CC after 600 years is the most special Millennium Stake, different from all the previous ones.] "

Lin Xian raised his head, looking at the two:

"CC possesses all characteristics of the other Millennium Stakes including appearance, dreams, etc. But she alone holds the most marvelous memory fragments."

"That’s the most abnormal point for CC, it’s memory fragments from other time spaces, other world lines, which is absolutely not a normal phenomenon, rather it seems... The previously very stable Millennium Stakes mechanism, at CC, suddenly becomes unstable."

"Most importantly, I’ve never seen CC turn into Blue Stardust and dissipate, not even the slightest sign; even though the World-Ending White Light arrived timely, but I didn’t see a single sign of CC turning transparent, turning blue, which is very abnormal."

Suddenly.

Lin Xian was taken aback.

It felt like a bucket of cold water poured from above, enlightening him:

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

He pressed his temples, closed his eyes.

Recalling various unusual phenomena on CC after 600 years, recalling the White Light arriving on time each time.

Could it be...

The World-Ending White Light wasn’t aimed at itself, nor towards destroying humanity, nor Earth...

But it was aimed at CC!?

"I have a bold idea."

Lin Xian opened his eyes, looked at Liu Feng and Gao Wen:

"If a car has a malfunction, we first think of repairing it. Then, if this car becomes extremely unstable, steering wheels don’t listen, the engine is sometimes good sometimes bad, it has various malfunctions while driving, can no longer drive safely, what should we do?"

"Scrap it."

Gao Wen followed quickly, closely behind Lin Xian:

"If it can’t be completely repaired, or the repair cost is too high, instead of repairing, it’s better to scrap it and buy a new car."

"I understand now!"

Gao Wen clapped his hands:

"Lin Xian, you’re suggesting that the Millennium Stakes also might have a lifespan! Just like cars, phones, computer hardware! All become increasingly unstable, more faulty with longer usage!"

"And after hundreds of years of continuous hammering by the Millennium Stakes, perhaps some malfunctions occurred making it no longer stable, such as... [CC’s mind contains inappropriate memory fragments], or... [CC has lost the ability to self-dissipate as the Millennium Stake, requiring external force to successfully complete the last hammering, locking history!] "

"Exactly."

Lin Xian nodded.

With a look of admiration towards Gao Wen.

Emperor Gao Wen, worthy of being Emperor Gao Wen, truly insightful.
