92: Chapter 92 My worldview is completely shattered

Gao Yuan saw a middle-aged man writing inside.

He held a large Yuanhao calligraphy brush, and Xuan Paper was spread across a wooden desk...

This scene was incredibly rare in the Future World!

If Gao Yuan hadn't just passed through the Space-Time Gate, he would have thought this was some big shot from the Real World.

In the Future World, Xuan Paper was more expensive than gold.

Gao Yuan walked over: "Gao Gan?"

"It's me... you're finally back!"

Gao Yuan was a bit dazed: "You know me?"

"Of course, this world is waiting for you to break the deadlock... speaking of which, you should call me elder brother!"

"Don't joke, how old are you?"

"140!"

"I'm 25!" Gao Yuan said.

Gao Yuan wanted to say that obviously, with a difference of over a hundred years, how could they be brothers?

"Is your Space-Time Gate easy to use?"

Hearing this was like a thunderclap in Gao Yuan's ears...

His biggest secret had actually been exposed; the key was, how did Gao Gan know?

"You..."

"I said, I'm your brother... I won't harm you! Besides, you're in Longjing, do you really think no one has noticed you? Do you think the Qin Family doesn't know you're an outsider?"

Gao Yuan was stunned...

He hadn't thought that much at all!

As things stood, all his trump cards were laid bare before the other party; there was nothing left to hide...

He simply found a chair and sat down.

He recalled his entire life...

If he hadn't met Gao Gan, although Gao Yuan had doubts in his heart, he would never have guessed in this direction.

But now Gao Gan said he was his younger brother...

Then could it be... he was originally from the Future World?

Then how did he get to the Real World? And why did he live in the Real World for over twenty years?

If he was from the Future World...

Then everything was pre-arranged!

Gao Yuan began to re-evaluate everything!

"Let me guess... I was in Muza, but I've known since I was little that my family moved to Muza from elsewhere. However, my parents were different from other children's parents from a young age; they were too disciplined... And when I was eighteen, they said they were going on a trip and never returned... Thinking back now, could they actually not be real people at all, but robots? Because they... in my memory, they never aged!"

"Also, why choose Muza? I don't understand; Muza is remote and backward, and it's located on a fault line. Everyone else migrates to big cities, but my family moved into the mountains! And since I was a child, our family's situation was better than all the other families around us; if it was to escape hardship, it wouldn't make sense!"

"Now I understand a bit. Muza's geographical location is special; it might happen to be suitable as a node for a Four-dimensional Space Passage! And the Gao Family compound in the Real World is actually a precision instrument! After this space-time node was discovered by you... or rather, by you all by chance, you came up with a bold idea... to bind this node to a person..."

"The person you chose was me! If it were just a fixed node, you'd have no way to control it; once exposed, it would definitely be seized by the Development General Administration! But if this node can move... then no one can take it away!"

"And I am the person you chose to bind it to. I don't know how you did it! But you didn't expect that I wouldn't return to the old compound all these years!"

As Gao Yuan spoke, he watched Gao Gan's expression...

...to judge whether his guesses were correct...

Gao Gan looked at Gao Yuan with a smile... listening to him speak without saying a word the whole time.

Gao Yuan reached this point...

And paused.

"Gao Qiu always wanted to restore this world to a Great Harmony, but he discovered that the power of capital was too strong for him to shake... so he needed external force!"

"Gao Qiu didn't succeed, but you inherited his legacy. You must need resources from another world to break the monopoly of the capital consortiums, so you've been biding your time and preserving your strength all these years... On the surface, it seems like you gave up, but in reality, you were waiting for me, right?"

Gao Gan finally spoke.

"Brother, you are very smart... but you were wrong about one thing. Our father, Gao Qiu... is still alive! Furthermore, for that space-time node to grow into a space-time passage, it requires a massive amount of dark energy. Your old compound in that world is actually a precision instrument. Haven't you noticed that the backyard of that compound never has dust or wind? We extract dark energy from the universe to continuously nourish this space-time node..."

Gao Yuan looked shocked...

"Gao Qiu is still alive? That's impossible. He's not some low-level person; as a major figure among humanity, if he were alive, he would definitely be discovered!"

"Yes, he is indeed alive, but no one can find him..."

"Then where is he now?"

"Your grandfather in the Real World... is him!"

Gao Yuan was dazed...

Hiss, the seniority is a total mess!

And it's just too worldview-shattering.

His parents were actually robots, and his grandfather wasn't actually his grandfather, but his father...

No wonder his grandfather had been especially good to him since childhood.

"Wait... if the node wasn't mature back then, how did Gao Qiu take me to that world? And why did he have to pretend to be my grandfather... clearly, the setup of a single father would have worked too!"

"At that time, thousands of scientists from the Academy of Sciences used dark energy to send Father over first. Because there was no precedent for space-time travel, Father didn't want you to take risks, so he had to test it first. Two robots crossed over with him. After Father and the two robots arrived there, they constructed a space-time passage Cultivation Base and activated it... Once we received the signal here, we sent you over!"

"As for why he pretended to be your grandfather, I suppose it was likely to give those two robots a plausible identity!"

...

This news was too much of a shock for Gao Yuan...

He sat blankly in his chair.

"Then... why did Gao Qiu disappear later?" Gao Yuan asked. He hadn't seen Gao Qiu in the Real World for five years.

Rumors in Muza Village said that Old Gao was probably dead...

Gao Yuan had also been sad for a while...

"Because he came back! Twenty years have passed, and everyone in the world believes he's dead, so he could return openly! At the same time, it was also to test the safety of the space-time passage for you once more. After the passage formed, it would only be fully activated and permanently bound to you once you returned to the Cultivation Base! That's also why you never discovered the Space-Time Gate before!"

Gao Yuan took deep breaths for a long time before steadying his mind...

"In that case, what do you need me to do?"

"Food... massive amounts of food! And massive amounts of compressed air!"

"Why? Isn't Nutritional Paste more nutritionally complete? And air... isn't it everywhere?"

Gao Gan took a deep breath: "Do you really believe that food can't be grown in the Future World? That one really can't survive in the wild? Haven't you considered that this is actually a conspiracy by the consortiums to confine the lower-class people?"

Gao Yuan was dumbfounded... Hiss, this is a bit much!
