Lin Yan's electronic voice betrayed no emotion, only slowing in pace.
"But no matter how many times you restart, that world isn't truly real, is it? It exists within the dream of deities, and even if people found a way to kill a deity, they couldn't change the status quo," Chen Ke said, puzzled.
"Divine's Dream interferes with the past, creating a new timeline, when the time of that timeline reaches the year 2137, subjective reality will overlap with objective reality," Lin Yan explained.
"Are you saying that the world in the dream will replace reality?" asked Chen Ke.
"Not quite... It won't just replace it directly. The overlapping effect looks like the old world colliding with the new world, the former being a phantom of the latter, like waves crashing onto the shore. We call this effect time grounding," Lin Yan explained.
"2137, huh... In 999 restarts, how many times did time grounding occur?" Chen Ke asked.
"Not many... Only 12 times," Lin Yan replied.
