Chapter 1152: Fate Is Inside the Light Awl

Editor: Henyee Translations

It was true that she had several options to avoid the light cone experiment.

For example, she could leave the orphanage or seek help from the Mutant Division. However, taking either of those paths would likely mean she would remain trapped in Bai Yueshuang’s body, with Bai Yueshuang continuing to occupy her mind.

Like the false daughter in the original book, Bai Yueshuang would harm the Gu family without restraint and ultimately bring about their destruction.

Choosing this route would mean bidding farewell to the future she remembered. She would lose her connections to the Gu family and the Xiao family, and she might no longer interact with her friends from the No. 1 Middle School Group.

The past in her memory would no longer exist. Everything would move on a different path.

But how could she bear to?

They should still be waiting for her in the distant future.

Therefore, it was necessary to activate the UO and initiate the light cone experiment to return to the future.

The UO could transport her through time and space; if it could take her to the past, it could certainly bring her back to the future.

She couldn’t avoid this light cone experiment; she needed to use Utopia’s time machine to return. However, this would mean everything would align with the original trajectory, and the future development would reflect the memories of Feng Jue and Gu Jin.

Gu Yang still remembered how the light cone experiment had caused them varying degrees of psychological trauma. For her, it represented an opportunity to return to her original path, but for them, she had truly disappeared for a full three years.

They lacked an omniscient perspective and didn’t know that they would be reunited in the future.

Yet, Gu Yang couldn’t reveal the impending crisis to Feng Jue and Gu Jin.

They wouldn’t put her in danger, let alone leave her alone.

Currently, Feng Jue and Gu Jin were no match for Utopia. If they stayed with her, they might be used as lab rats for the light cone experiment.

They were different from her. She did not belong to this time and space; she could choose to return to the correct trajectory through the light cone experiment. However, they were tied to this space-time. Whether they chose the light cone of the past or the future, they would deviate from the correct path, leading to unpredictable outcomes.

Gu Yang sat by the pond, feeling a bit frustrated. She absentmindedly picked up a stone from the ground and tossed it into the water.

Ripples spread across the surface, growing larger in concentric circles. The two-dimensional pond and one-dimensional time created an expanding water circle that could be visualized as a cone, with the apex representing the moment and place where the stone struck the water.

Similarly, light from an event forms a three-dimensional cone in four-dimensional space-time, representing the past light cone of that event.

The light cone experiment marked the point where the stone fell into the water.

Relativity demonstrates that no object can exceed the speed of light, which means no event can go beyond the interior of the light cone.

In the words of the Trisolarans, everything inside the light cone was fate.

The UO had taken her back in time, but it could change nothing. All outcomes had already been determined in the future.

Even if she altered something, it was possible that her changes could lead to specific future events. What was the difference between that and not changing at all?

At this thought, Gu Yang couldn’t help but reveal a mocking expression.

Ryan, Ning Shen, and the others tried to use the light cone experiment to return to the past, but it was merely an illusion.

The physicist might have seemed insane, but his choice of the term “light cone” for the experiment suggested he had long understood that even if one returned to the past, nothing could be changed–only the repetition of history could be witnessed.

The people of the Utopia Organization were deceived by the physicists.

This mad physicist did not care whether he could change the past or the future; he only sought to use the Utopia Organization to verify the truth.
