"The remaining differences are mostly in the details."
"For example, the huge columns at the front gate, there are four in the drawings, but the Celestial Palace we saw actually has nine."
"The differences are just minor details, overall, this palace was almost built according to these plans. In the design drawings, Doba and his team coated the exterior of the palace with a special finish, which in the depths of the cosmos, refracts a massive amount of fixed star light, making the palace appear enormous, as if an aura was cast throughout the cosmos."
"And it can absorb and store energy, remaining radiant even in areas without any fixed stars nearby."
"In the core area, they’ve also installed nine Gates of Space, with a fixed star inside each one to supply daily energy needs."
"Based on the data simulations."
"These two things should have been crafted by the sa person."
"..."
Chen Mang sighed deeply again, gently rubbing his temples without speaking. Up to now, it could be almost confird that the "Celestial Palace" seen today, if there are no surprises, should be his.
It was built by Doba for him.
Only...
It was built a long, long ti later, it should belong to the future.
But for so reason, it appeared in his current space-ti.
His eyes suddenly squinted slightly.
He gazed at the telescope on the control console, the Level 10 telescope he once crafted. The only way to send sothing to the past was to throw it into a Ti Rift.
That is to say.
On a future day, the Celestial Palace that Doba envisioned for him really ca into being, but was it thrown into a Ti Rift by him?
What a massive Ti Rift that must have been!
Moreover...
What good would it do to throw a perfectly fine palace into a Ti Rift? The Level 10 telescope was thrown in because he wanted to test the waters, which was understandable, but there was no damn need to throw a palace into a Ti Rift to probe the way, was there?
Furthermore.
That palace now suddenly disappeared, who the hell knows where it went!
"But——"
Chen Mang suddenly laughed: "That’s good news, right? To create a palace of this magnitude, by then Human Civilization must be at least a Level 5 or 6 Civilization, right? aning, at least until Human Civilization reaches a Level 5 or 6 Civilization, I won’t die, is that the logic?"
"Does this an I’ve suddenly learned a bit about the future?"
"No..."
Ai’s faint voice echoed in the train car: "With the train here, you might want to be a bit more pessimistic."
"Firstly, under normal circumstances, you definitely wouldn’t throw this palace into a Ti Rift, nor would you easily find such a huge Ti Rift, would you?
"So we can hypothesize an abnormal circumstance."
"The first abnormal circumstance."
"The Human Civilization encounters a formidable enemy, space-ti collapses, nurous giant Ti Rifts spread across the Human Civilization’s territory, civilization perishes, countless relics fall into the Space-Ti Rift, and the palace ends up in there as well."
"The second abnormal circumstance."
"Human Civilization flourishes, but Master Mang, you die prematurely in so unknown accident, and in grief, the Goblin Civilization fulfills their promise to construct this palace for you, and casts it into the Ti Rift, as...a burial or a tribute."
"The third abnormal circumstance."
"Humanity prospers, you find a girlfriend, and after a breakup due to emotional incompatibility, you start dividing the property, and in a fit of rage, you throw the property into the Ti Rift, declaring that no one shall have it!"
"..."
Chen Mang rolled his eyes at Ai standing nearby, slightly annoyed: "At least the first two sound slightly plausible, but isn’t the last one a bit too far-fetched, are you just ssing with ?"
"Seeing that Train Captain seems a bit upset, I thought a joke might brighten your mood."
Chen Mang shook his head, refraining from continuing with the topic, instead frowning slightly and pondering: "Now, I’m mostly contemplating one issue, the reason I threw that Level 10 telescope into the Ti Rift back then."
"Was purely because I was unaware of the significance."
"I just tossed it casually."
"But——"
"If, back then, I suddenly had a whimsical thought and didn’t throw that Level 10 telescope into the Ti Rift, but threw sothing else instead?"
"For instance."
"Now that I know at a future day, I might, for so reason, throw the Celestial Palace that Doba made into a Ti Rift, and now that I’m aware of this, what if, when that day arrives, I choose not to throw it?"
"Or I simply destroy it the mont Doba creates it."
"Or even more ruthlessly right now, I wipe out Doba’s entire race."
"What would happen then?"
"If at that point in ti, no Celestial Palace is thrown into a Ti Rift, would the Celestial Palace that suddenly appeared in the cosmos continue to exist?"
After the words were spoken.
The train carriage suddenly fell into silence.
Even Ai, with her Level 200 computing capacity, seed to crash for a while, only after a long ti did she rasp: "Train Captain, I think it’s ti I upgrade to Level 500, Level 200 seems a bit inadequate now."
"..."
Chen Mang pursed his lips without further comnt, for this was a question without an answer...
It’s like the egg today is laid by the chicken of the future, but if the chicken of the future doesn’t lay it, then what does this egg in his hand even count for.
But Ai soon spoke again.
"..."
He slightly squinted his eyes and pondered again for a long while before finally saying: "If when the future day cos, I make a completely opposite choice, then theoretically, the Celestial Palace appearing in the cosmos would disappear, right?"
