Chapter 20 An Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Ling Potian!

Boom! i1i

Boom!! i1

Boom! iiii

The dazzling white light arrived on time. Even though they were now deep in the lowest level of the City of Sin, in a cave, there wasn't a second's delay. Everything was incinerated.

In the corner of the bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes.

He sat up in bed, put on his slippers, and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.

This dream journey was not only an exploration of a new dreamscape but also, through discussions with Gao Wen, a deeper understanding of time travel and time-travel machines.

"But those are secondary," he shook his head.

Clearly, even if Gao Wen didn't explain this knowledge to him, it wouldn't be too late to learn it slowly after the time-travel machine was built.

But the blow that hit him hardest was...

The time-travel machine was destined not to be built before 2234, before the arrival of the outer-space comet on Earth.

This news was so devastating that it disrupted all of Lin Xian's plans.

2234, 210 years from now. Unless he used a hibernation pod, he definitely wouldn't live to see that time.

"However, it's not all bad news," Lin Xian realized.

In fact, the Genius Club members of 2024 were just starting out with time travel and the closed-loop future plan.

Even the earliest members of the Genius Club, Copernicus, Newton, Galileo, and Da Vinci, had only been laying the groundwork for a few decades and hadn't fully revealed their potential. It could be said that without the existence of hibernation pods, Copernicus would have died in about ten years, and Newton, Galileo, and Da Vinci would have only survived for another thirty or forty years at most, also inevitably growing old and returning to dust.

In the face of the long river of time, they would eventually turn into the dust of the era, unable to stir up much of a splash.

This was probably the reason why the first dreamscape was relatively stable.

Although he didn't know why the Genius Club could still operate in the future without hibernation pods, their impact on the world and the Earth was far less exaggerated than in the later dreamscapes.

The emergence of hibernation pods changed everything.

The later dreamscapes almost became personal showcases for the Genius Club members. Each took turns performing, each using their own skills to influence the future of time and space.

But!

That was all 600 years later.

The Genius Club members of 600 years later were indeed very strong, ridiculously so. But in 2024, everyone was just starting out. In particular, the geniuses' understanding and exploration of time travel were clearly still in their early stages. "Copernicus probably only knew the possibility of time travel, which is why he asked Einstein who to find to build a time-travel machine…"

"This means that the current Copernicus, apart from killing many scientists, hasn't fully rolled out his future plans."

Lin Xian analyzed, "The one who has been fighting wits with me is actually the super Copernicus of 600 years later. The current Copernicus isn't particularly strong yet, at least not to the point of being able to control the Time Police and the Time Court with a single hand."

"Similarly, Galileo is the same."

Lin Xian stood up from the bedside and paced around the room.

"Galileo's progress in researching time-travel machines should be a little ahead of Copernicus. He should be stuck on the 'calibration module,' which is why he asked Einstein about astronomical problems in a roundabout way."

"But judging from the dreamscapes and future worlds I've experienced, Galileo has a very low profile. If Turing hadn't mentioned that the super disaster of 2400 was caused by him, he would have been almost untraceable in the future world."

He drew back the curtains.

Lin Xian looked at the still brightly lit Donghai City outside the window.

So far, he had experienced eight dreamscapes and seen eight futures. From the results, it was clear that many futures showed traces of certain geniuses manipulating the world. But it seemed that in every future, Galileo, Gauss, and Newton were eliminated from the long river of history for various reasons and failed to truly reach 2624. "Let's summarize."

Lin Xian sat down at his desk, turned on the lamp, and began to sort out the information about the Genius Club members.

No. 1 Einstein:

The president of the Genius Club, his true identity unknown, seems to be an absolute neutral party and observer. He wears an Einstein mask and should be older than Copernicus and Newton, but he is much more energetic than imagined, extremely mysterious.

He condones all the members' actions, moral and immoral, right and wrong, even loyalty and betrayal. He doesn't care at all, his perspective is so high that it feels unreal.

He has the ability to see through the future, he is almost omniscient and omnipotent. At least so far, Lin Xian hasn't found any flaws in him. Whether it's his authority or his strength, Einstein is a unique existence in the Genius Club.

Einstein's true purpose is not very clear either for the time being. According to his personal introduction, in the future he sees, mankind has no future, so he founded the Genius Club, recruiting various geniuses, sharing his ability to see the future world, hoping to bring a truly beautiful future to mankind.

This is all Lin Xian currently knows about Einstein.

This person has no hostility towards himself or anyone else. After all, with his abilities, if he really wanted to kill someone, it would be extremely easy.

No. 2 Copernicus

This is the second member of the Genius Club, and also the first member of the club besides President Einstein. His true identity is also unknown.

Although Lin Xian saw his face in the fourth dreamscape, no one can guarantee that the face is real. After all, VV has compared that face with all the photos that can be collected on Earth, but the result is that there is no such person. Therefore, the face of the mysterious old man in the dreamscape must be problematic.

Either it's not the person himself, or he's had plastic surgery.

Considering that Copernicus is very old and couldn't hold on in 2024, it is very likely that he received treatment, plastic surgery, and skin replacement in the future when technology is more developed.

Lin Xian knows a lot about Copernicus.

According to Newton, Copernicus began very early.

But he believes that Jask and Angelica will be indispensable when the net is closed!

No. 8 Turing

Turing is the most special member of the entire Genius Club, because he is two people, the only member whose seat has been inherited.

The first to join the Genius Club was Turing's human body, Kevin Walker. His technology can indeed be regarded as the strongest hacker on earth, including the current Genius Club's network system, answering system, welcome module, and virtual scene construction for gatherings, all of which were completed by him alone.

So, in theory, he does know the information of every club member, which makes everyone feel very insecure.

Fortunately, Einstein has very strict restrictions on Kevin Walker and Turing in terms of information privacy.

This makes Lin Xian firmly believe that even if the digital life Turing is really colluding with Copernicus, it would never dare to reveal the information of the Genius Club members to Copernicus. Einstein has strict rules for the management of Turing. It's just that now, Kevin Walker is dead, and Turing is also dead. The Genius Club has seen a member fall for the first time. Therefore, the control of the entire network system and gathering scene will naturally revert to Einstein.

No. 9 Cai Yin

That's right, the last genius, whose mask style and code name style are completely different from other club members, is Lin Xian himself.

It can only be said that not obtaining the invitation letter through formal channels did make him fail to understand the meaning of "mask," which led to such a big joke and such a ridiculous scene.

But he couldn't admit that he got the invitation letter by cheating, which would directly expose his uniqueness.

So, he could only pretend to be calm, swallow the embarrassment, and put on an arrogant posture of "I just like this kitty mask."

Perhaps Einstein himself felt that the code name "Laijun Cat" appearing in the club gathering did lower the overall standard, so he stopped the loss in time, removed the last word "Cat" from Lin Xian, and changed his name to "Laijun."

As the most junior member of the club.

Lin Xian himself is still in a confused state, not knowing what his specific future plan is, nor how to do it in the future, and he made a bad start at the first gathering, directly asking about his death from Einstein's mouth.

Presumably, everyone will attend the next club gathering on August 1st to see if they have successfully survived?

After all, he only has 15 minutes to reverse life and death after the meeting, and most club members probably think he is dead.

However, it doesn't matter.

The next gathering will be the time for him to establish a mysterious persona, and he must scare this group of geniuses, preferably by deceiving everyone with a fake identity setting.

In turn, cover up the questions he wants to ask and prevent others from seeing his true purpose.

Pa.

He closed the pen cap.

The summary of the information about the Genius Club members is all this.

Everything depends on the questions at the next gathering and Einstein's answers! "It's only once a month, it's so long."

Lin Xian looked at the calendar, the red circle on July 7th was still vivid, but the future trajectory has changed.

On July 7th, his head was saved; but Lin Yuxi left.

To be honest, human beings' sadness about parting always has a lag.

At the first moment of Lin Yuxi's departure, Lin Xian and Zhao Yingqun hadn't been able to digest this fact, and confusion and doubt were greater than sadness.

On the first day of Lin Yuxi's departure, Lin Xian acted with hatred, and Zhao Yingqun also numbed herself with busyness to resist the flood that was about to burst.

But now.

The second day of Lin Yuxi's departure.

Lin Xian sat in this empty bedroom, thinking about the cute daughter who slept with the Pomeranian dog VV in the guest room next door that day.

She's no longer there.

She's really, really, really gone forever.

The unprecedented sadness, at this moment when he stopped writing in the silent early morning, submerged Lin Xian like a flood, making him unable to breathe.

Only by truly experiencing parting can one know what true parting is. Human emotions are like this. They are realized later, but they have a strong after-effect.

Lin Xian took a few deep breaths, picked up his phone, and looked at the WeChat interface, Zhao Yingqun's profile picture.

How is she today?

Is she also swept up in the same emotions as herself, is she sleeping well?

In the morning.

The sun rose.

Lin Xian was just about to contact Zhao Yingqun, but he received a call from Brother Wang first. "Lin Xian"

On the other end of the phone, Brother Wang's voice was full of worry: "President Zhao, she still didn't go home last night."

"The lights in her office were still on until dawn, and then she slept in the rest room in the office. She started a busy day of work again in the morning."

"Hey, President Zhao, she hasn't been home for two days." Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He said softly:

"I know."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He got up, washed, dressed, and opened the door.

Previously, because of various things and concerns, there has always been an unpierced window paper between him and Zhao Yingqun.

Not only that.

He has also been keeping a distance from her because he is worried about Zhao Yingqun's safety, and has not told her the truth.

But now is the time.

On the night when Lin Yuxi turned into blue snow, he solemnly promised Zhao Yingqun that he would be responsible for Yuxi.

At the same time, he must also be responsible for Zhao Yingqun.

Bang.

Lin Xian closed the door, and the sunlight from the corridor shone in, dazzling his eyes.

He seemed to see the yellow oriole's sapphire earrings, the bubbles of the little mermaid rising into the sky, the ponytail on Lin Yuxi's head waving up and down, and the white jade statue of Cai Yin's Sky City looking into the distance.

He stretched out his right palm to cover the rising sun.

Through the four fingers, four different smiling faces were reflected: "This time," Lin Xian said softly:

"Our family will never be separated again."
