System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 870 - 339: "Not Bad.

"When you were about to throw that thing into the Time Rift, at the same moment, did this thing exist in someone else’s hands?"

"..."

Chen Mang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

When he was about to throw the telescope into the Time Rift, at the same moment, the "Train Captain" had already used that telescope to observe him a long time ago.

That is to say...

Before he even threw it in, this thing had already existed long ago.

"Is it because they were sure I would throw it in?"

"No."

Qiuya smiled: "It’s a kind of ’pseudo-interference’ with the future. No civilization can interfere with the future, but Divine-level Civilizations have still developed a way to interfere, naming it ’Assumed Future’."

"You can think of it as."

"When you are certain that in the future you will definitely throw something into the Time Rift."

"This thing..."

"Has already appeared in your time and space."

"Through this method, you can obtain a large number of ’Cosmic Forbidden Items’, and even... resources."

"For example, if you are certain that in the future you will definitely throw a large amount of resources into the Time Rift, then this thing might already exist in the Cosmos now."

"Of course, the resources are a bit uncertain because no one has ever received resources from the future; it seems like only Cosmic Forbidden Items can pass through the Time Rift."

"What the..."

Chen Mang frowned and pondered for a long while before continuing: "Isn’t this turning into ’idealism’? If I hope for something, it will definitely happen?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Not entirely, as there is only a probability, and it might not necessarily appear. The probability depends on something unknown."

"Secondly..."

"The biggest problem is even if it appears in the Cosmos, how to find it is another problem."

"The Cosmos is very large."

"In short—"

"The things studied by Divine-level Civilizations are too complicated. Even if I tell you, you might not understand it. The most important thing for your civilization now is resources. Just find a way to obtain enough resources; don’t worry about the rest for now."

"It’s too far from you."

...

Returning to the train cabin, Chen Mang sat silently on a chair.

He thought that after communicating with Qiuya, his understanding of the entire Cosmos would become more comprehensive.

But...

It sounded even more bewildering.

But one thing he could be sure of.

Qiuya wasn’t entirely right.

After all, he had never been certain he would throw a massive palace into the Time Rift in the future, yet this palace indeed appeared before him. This wasn’t the power of certainty, but a decision made by his future self.

Just then—

AI’s voice sounded inside the train.

"Train Captain, I roughly understood, actually Qiuya’s words have some contradictions, it seems Divine-level Civilizations are also somewhat confused, what they want to know more about is..."

"Is the future predetermined, or is it constantly changing."

"To be blunt."

"It’s whether everyone’s life is scripted, following a script, or can change through one’s own efforts, or if one’s efforts and opportunities are also part of the script."

"They are eager to know this point."

"So they have made many attempts."

"Drawing different conclusions."

"And trying to use these conclusions to explain the Cosmos’ inexplicable behaviors, but the more they try to explain, the more they find current conclusions need to be overturned, and new conclusions need to be established, with further attempts."

"For example—"

"Those Divine-level Civilizations discovered that as long as they are certain of what will happen in the future, there’s a probability it will happen at this current moment in time. For example, if they are certain that a telescope will be thrown into the Time Rift in the future, then there’s a probability a telescope will appear now in this space-time. They have identified it as ’Assumed Future’, seeing it as a method of interfering with the future..."

"But in reality."

"It’s like deciding not to eat tomorrow and then not eating tomorrow. Does this count as interfering with the future..."

"If you want to count it, you could barely count it that way."

"The reason there’s a probability..."

"It’s entirely due to various factors, such as if on the day to throw the telescope, you suddenly get a stomach ache and don’t go, then of course that telescope wouldn’t appear in the past space-time."

"So—"

"Actually, this ’Assumed Future’ theory can be overturned. All the things received from the future now have nothing to do with ’Assumed Future’, they are merely choices made by future selves, just with a rough guideline."

"When you know this information, you can roughly use it to possibly gain certain benefits, provided you can find what you’ve thrown back from the future..."

"..."

After a long silence, Chen Mang suddenly laughed: "Ai, after reaching Level 500, you seem to have become much smarter."

"Actually—"

"I’ve already figured it out."

"That is, even Divine-level Civilizations are still exploring these matters."

"But there’s one thing I’m sure of."

"If my future self could grow to a certain height, I would definitely throw a large amount of resources back through the time rift, and at that time, I would surely figure out a way for my current self to receive these resources."

"It won’t entirely depend on luck."

"And if I obtain those resources, I can go further and thus change the future, from this perspective, the future is ever-changing and not predetermined."

"Even if, as Qiuya said, no one has received resources from the future, I think there might be other things, some very important things."

"I believe that Celestial Palace is the key treasure."

"I’m planning to go to the ’Nami Civilization’ to retrieve my Celestial Palace."

"In short."

"First, get back the Celestial Palace."
