So far, Ren Zhong has conducted multiple deductions on the mechanism of Resurrection Reset, and has obtained more information each time.

Every piece of information here was unimaginable and never dared hoped for by his former self.

He is someone who is never satisfied with scientific principles, unwilling to conclude his studies until he exhausts both his personal ability and objective conditions.

For instance, at this moment, he delegates military command tasks to Zheng Tian and administrative tasks to Zhuo Yihang, who has quickly grown up to the challenge, finally waiting over the years to wake up autonomously multiple times, slightly figuring things out, self-convincing, and retaking the managerial duties of the secret investigation department with the help of Xiao Xingyue, Ren Zhong, as a temporary Viscount, indeed gains rare leisure time, allowing him to be a bit of a hands-off leader.

With absolute time, a decade has passed; biologically, it's been less than two months since Ren Zhong once again contemplates the doubts surrounding Resurrection Reset capability.

He feels something is amiss, remains puzzled.

According to the time discrepancy with the Empire's standard time provided by Sun Ai, it's accurately deduced that the absolute consumption time for each Resurrection Reset is exactly one second.

But this still doesn't seem reasonable.

Because the time interval limit for rollback is one month.

Select any "time archive point," assuming during a full moon rollback, Source Star's internal time first moves from point A to point B, simultaneously, the entire universe's time also moves from point A to point B.

Point A is exactly 30 days before point B.

When performing rollback reset, Source Star's internal time goes back from point B to point A, and the retroactive time should precisely amount to 30 days, then time should continue to advance forward until reaching point B.

Thus, the time difference between Source Star and the entire universe shouldn't be one second, but a full 30 days.

If the resurrection time doesn't fill the 30 days, it should similarly reflect the amount of days adjusted, indicating the difference.

Strictly calculated, Source Star's internal time ought to have differed by several hundred years.

But this occurrence hasn't happened; the discrepancy is just 7640 seconds.

Ren Zhong contemplated further and arrived at a new conclusion.

It is possible that the one-second absolute consumption time of the reset rollback process is divided into two segments.

The first segment is used for rollback reset, traversing from point B back to point A.

The latter segment is utilized for "fast-forward acceleration," like speeding up video playback, time accelerates, rapidly passing the complete 30-day period reaching point B, where Ren Zhong's post-death "God's Eye View" conscious extinguishment and resurrection archive creation instantaneously concludes.

Sometimes, Ren Zhong encounters consecutive deaths before completing 30 days.

He speculates, under such circumstances, the time acceleration still targets the furthest consciousness extinguishment instant post-30 days, generating the node this way for time to maintain rationale.

Nonetheless, time acceleration cannot amend the one-second consumption within absolute time, only "fast-forward" to the node established upon his death, thus each resurrection lags one second behind the Empire's standard time.

Ren Zhong believes all time nodes revolve around his own timeline.

This isn't rooted in arrogance but arrives as the sole viable judgment.

Ultimately, the cumulative time discrepancy between Source Star and the entire universe amounts to 7640 seconds, not exaggeratedly hundreds of years.

As to why others and himself have zero perception of time acceleration, unable to provide direct proof, Ren Zhong constructs a logical closure in his mind.

Like a person in a car tossing an object vertically, its landing spot coincides with the throwing point, akin to airplane passengers unaware of their speed.

Be it human or instrument, a comparison is necessary to form a reference frame for adequate quantification of perceptive discrepancies.

Including himself and everyone else, within the radius of 2 light years centered around Source Sun, everything in this region - matter, energy, space, time - accelerates, thus people naturally fail to sense their time flow alteration, like hitting a double-speed button during film viewing, characters within the movie remain oblivious to acceleration, simply because they don't know they're part of a film.

With some profound contemplation, Ren Zhong's mind didn't uncoil, feeling only weighted.

He sensed the external environment's changes as excessively rapid and intense.

Preparing to exit Source Star, aiming to venture into Yang Bingzhong's formerly boasted "Star Sea," he mustn't only confront powerful new unknown enemies, but disguise the lives of 18 billion people remaining on Source Star with lies that caused estrangement, crafting strategic positions for the fleet and himself to reasonably enter the Empire, integrate into imperial society, whilst tirelessly deducing analysis purely reliant on intellect concerning unseen yet objectively existent cosmic rules.
