Chapter 39: Completely Resolving the Guiding Paradox

Every time Jiang Zhe spoke, he made sure to cater to the majority of middle school students and the general adult public.

Through these sharp lectures, they heard the truth behind the Grandfather Paradox and the core of the Bootstrap Paradox: Cycle Universes and Cycle Events!

No matter who boards a time machine to return to the past, it is simply impossible!

They can only take a time machine and accelerate wildly forward, accelerating to an unparalleled degree, witnessing the destruction of the entire universe with their own eyes, and then continuing to accelerate until the universe restarts.

At that point, the Grandfather Paradox is naturally resolved!

The live stream room fell silent for a moment.

Then, a massive wave of donation bullet messages drifted across the screen.

"The Grandfather Paradox... has been, been, been completely resolved!"

"Holy crap! This 'Time Spiral Theory' has completely solved both the Grandfather Paradox and the Bootstrap Paradox!"

"Has the Bootstrap Paradox been solved? How come I didn't notice?"

"No, you don't even need Teacher Jiang to explain it to you; even I know the truth—the Elixir of Immortality from the Bootstrap Paradox is either in the topmost Cycle World or in the bottommost Cycle World."

"Upstairs, do you mean that the place where the elixir from the Bootstrap Paradox appears definitely won't be the bottommost world? Is that what you mean?"

"Exactly. Whenever the elixir appears, it's not in our current cycle's world, but in the previous cycle, or even the world at the very top of the spring. As for exactly where, I don't know either!"

"Hiss~~ I finally freaking understand! Thank heavens!"

"..."

At this moment, mysteries that were once unsolved became mere passing clouds before Jiang Zhe.

For some reason, expressions of excitement vaguely appeared on the faces of the public.

It wasn't that the problems were too difficult; it was just that no exceptionally brilliant person had appeared yet.

Looking at it now, Jiang Zhe's appearance was destined to break these paradoxes!

The common people looked at the surface, while the internal experts looked at the substance.

...

Inside the dormitory building of Shanghai University of Science and Technology.

Professor Li and a group of other professors were so shocked they were speechless.

At this very moment, this group of people realized one thing!

Jiang Zhe was using the guise of decoding paradoxes to decode the truth of the entire universe for the whole world!

The atmosphere here was somewhat heavy, and the faces of every professor turned pale.

A massive number of doubts flooded their minds one after another.

Where exactly did this person come from? Who created him? Why did he possess such ability and strength that others couldn't even hope to rival!?

If the previous Jiang Zhe was just a somewhat capable young man, then in the eyes of these people now, Jiang Zhe was clearly standing on equal footing with them.

...

Inside Suzhou Media University.

Prof. Wei Min and Wei Guo were also speechless, just like most people.

The students in the classroom were all the same.

Shock appeared on every face, and their hearts surged like colossal waves.

Based on the top students' assessment of the physics professor Wei Guo's abilities—he could absolutely never have taught someone of Jiang Zhe's caliber.

Even Wei Guo himself wouldn't dare claim he could decode paradoxes and propose new scientific theories.

Soon, there were cautious whispers below the stage.

"Senior Jiang feels so extraordinary. How is his brain even wired? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a sci-fi writer!"

"Yeah, Professor Wei Guo's face has turned white; he's fallen into self-doubt. These skills of Senior Jiang's had to come from somewhere, but they certainly weren't learned from our homeroom teacher."

"I still have some questions, though. Why should the Cycle Worlds be exactly as Senior Jiang envisions? Won't there be a Butterfly Effect during the process that causes the future to change?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know. I expect Senior Jiang will explain it!"

...

In the lecture hall of Beijing University of Science and Technology.

Professor Hua Yunfeng stared at the large screen, unable to pull himself away for a long time.

His thoughts were still immersed in the [Cycle World].

If the [Cycle World] was indeed verified to be true, Jiang Zhe would have invisibly added a new grand path for time travel.

Although this idea seemed distant, after hundreds or thousands of years in reality, perhaps time travel would truly be no problem at all.

For some reason, he didn't even harbor any doubts, as if he naturally believed that what Jiang Zhe described was correct.

At this time, Old Feng woke up from his shock and looked at Professor Hua Yunfeng. "Brother, what's wrong? This isn't like you. Why aren't you saying a word?"

Professor Hua Yunfeng shook his head as he also came back to his senses. "I don't know what to say."

"It shouldn't be hard to admit that he's younger than us and his strength and level are on par with yours, right?" Old Feng teased to lighten the mood. "If it were you, could you have proposed the concepts and theories of the [Theory of Cosmic Circulation] and [Cycle Universe] first?"

"Sigh..."

Professor Hua Yunfeng was stunned for a long while before saying: "There are many loopholes in these theories. He hasn't even solved the massive 'Butterfly Effect' yet. I don't know what to say. If he solves it, fine, but if he doesn't, this theory is just a conjecture and cannot be taken as fact."

Even Professor Hua Yunfeng had to admire Jiang Zhe's unrestrained thinking.

This wasn't belittlement, but an internal recognition of Jiang Zhe's level.

It was just that this level still needed deeper contemplation to be viable!

"Then let's wait and see!"

Old Feng, without realizing it, was already becoming a fan of Jiang Zhe.

As for the top students like Leng Fei below the stage, they had long been unable to get a word in.

Every graduate student was immersed in the hypothetical events of Jiang Zhe's words.

This was one of the ways science students perceived the world and decoded the universe!

At this moment, Jiang Zhe's voice came from the screen.

"My young friend from the internet cafe, you should be able to understand my explanation, right?"

The other side was stunned for a long time before responding with a sudden realization: "I understand, I completely understand. I didn't expect that the truth of the Grandfather Paradox was already given during your last live stream, and this time was just providing theoretical support for the last one. To express my respect, Teacher Jiang, you are truly my mentor. I've fallen in love with science now, but... I simply have no way to study it!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe nodded with gratification:

"Ways are created by oneself; they have nothing to do with your academic qualifications, your income, or your funds."

"Academic qualifications are a unified screening method used by the upper classes for the lower classes. Some people don't care about Language, Math, or English, and schools don't teach you anything else."

"When you leave the academy, you'll find that you're good at dealing with people. So some people thrive in the world of social etiquette, becoming leaders of large companies and living successful lives."

"I firmly believe, my friend, that you and I are both at the bottom, but our hearts cannot stay at the bottom forever!"

"The general environment denies the meaning of your existence, but you cannot deny yourself. You must tell yourself at all times:"

"'Must I live for them? Must I live under the rules they have set? If so, how am I different from a puppet?'"

"I won't go on with a long lecture; good luck!"

These words were not only spoken by Jiang Zhe to those at the bottom, but also to everyone in the live stream room whose current life situation was not good.

These words undoubtedly acted as a shot of adrenaline for them, letting more and more people experience Jiang Zhe's personal charisma!

The other side was silent for a moment, then came the sound of intermittent sobbing: "Thank... thank you... Teacher Jiang!"

In the live stream room and among many dejected people, they all said "Thank you!" to Jiang Zhe in unison.

"Alright, next lucky viewer!"
