Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 753 - 380: A Letter to the Future, Starry Sky Devourer!
Ten thousand years ago, when the [King] first launched the rebellion, although it was indeed injured in the battle, it was far from this severe.
The reason it was left with only half a skull was entirely due to the aftereffects of a failed transformation experiment it conducted on itself.
That failure was a horrifying time explosion.
The so-called time explosion occurred when the [King] introduced chaotic time currents from subspace into its own body, attempting to fuse and gain the Power of Time.
In the end, it couldn’t withstand it, and an explosion happened.
This explosion did not occur on the material level but happened on the time level.
In the explosion, chaotic time ravaged within the [King]’s body, causing most of its body to disappear forever.
This disappearance couldn’t be replenished by normal means.
Even if it forged new body parts with precious materials and installed them, they would soon disappear again.
This greatly diminished its power; if not for its Fourth Rank essence, it could hardly suppress its mechanical guards.
From a powerful [King], it became a cripple with only half a skull; the [King] was extremely dejected and furious.
However, it quickly discovered that this failure wasn’t entirely without gain.
It seemed to have gained some special abilities from the explosion, obtaining a fragment of the Power of Time.
It could actually feel the flow of the river of time!
The Mechanical God constructed the river of time in the Manifestation Space, and this river was originally visible only to the Mechanical God, but after the explosion, the [King] could vaguely see it too.
However, even though the [King] could see the river of time, it couldn’t touch or interfere with it.
The Power of Time it gained was too weak, too fragmented.
But this still excited the [King] greatly, as it proved its theory was feasible!
It was just that the technology was lacking, leading to the transformation failure.
If a Fourth Rank mechanic could assist it, it would definitely be able to realize its vision!
But now, it was too late to say anything; its body was destroyed, and it couldn’t conduct a second experiment.
The [King] hadn’t completely given up and continued to delve into research, trying to understand the cause of all this.
After research, the [King] came up with a bold hypothesis.
It speculated that the part of its body that disappeared hadn’t truly annihilated but was blasted to the past or future by the explosion of the chaotic time flow, into other timelines.
In some sense, those body parts were still connected to it.
Newly installed parts would also be attracted to the past or future for some reason, disappearing in the present time.
Understanding this, the [King] was extremely excited.
If it could figure out a way to retrieve its lost body, it would surely gain complete Power of Time, break through this Manifestation Space, and escape!
However, after another few hundred years, the [King]’s excitement cooled thoroughly.
In those hundreds of years, it tried various methods, but all failed.
Not to mention retrieving its complete body, it couldn’t even recover a single part.
Moreover, over these hundreds of years, its body grew increasingly weak.
At this rate, it would fall from the Fourth Rank.
Then, could it still be the high and mighty [King]? Its subordinates might rebel immediately!
Under these circumstances, the helpless [King] made one last attempt.
This attempt was to...
Write a letter to its future self or to anything, asking them for help.
The [King] separated a portion of its spiritual consciousness.
This portion of spiritual consciousness contained some plea for help.
Then it used precious materials to forge a batch of body parts.
Each of these parts contained chips storing information.
The [King] sealed the separated spiritual consciousness into these parts.
Then it installed these newly forged parts onto itself.
As expected, these newly forged parts soon disappeared too, sent to a past or future timeline by the defective Power of Time.
However, unlike the previously disappearing parts, these new parts contained the [King]’s separated spirit.
These spiritual fragments didn’t have the ability to think; their sole purpose was to carry the information through to the past and future.
This was a series of letters, cries for help traversing time!
In the Manifestation Space, unable to contact the outside world, the [King] devised this method to reach the future!
Then all the [King] had to do was wait patiently.
The [King]’s attempt was known to Su Yu as well.
This was a method to validate time travel.
Write a letter to your future self or another, inviting future time travelers to come communicate.
If a time machine exists in the future, theoretically, as soon as this letter is written, future time travelers would travel back.
But this was purely theoretical; even if there were time travelers in the future, why should they bother with you?
Normally, nothing would happen from writing such a letter.
However, at the time, due to years of failure and weakening, the [King] had become somewhat deranged, hence attempting this.
Surprisingly, on the day it attempted this, the [King] actually succeeded!
Yet, the [King] didn’t meet a time traveler from the future; it received some information in its dreams.
The original [King] wouldn’t sleep.
