When I traveled through time and became a chief, I ruined the system.

Jasmine took dehydration pills, took off her sweat-soaked robe, and lay naked on the dirt floor. Soon, Jasmine's entire body was softening and thinning like a molten candle... Ten minutes later, the water was drained out, and the body turned into a human-shaped soft skin lying motionless on the mud floor, and the facial features were blurred. .

"Is he dead?" Prince Tianyi asked. He remembered that he saw soft humanoid skins like this from time to time along the way, some of which were damaged and incomplete. They were the dehydrated people that Jasmine wanted to use to make a fire not long ago.

"No." Luo Xiaofei said, picking up the soft skin turned by jasmine, patting the soil on it, placing it on the rock and rolling it up, just like rolling a deflated rubber ball, " Soak it in water for a while and it will come back to life, just like a dried mushroom."

"His bones have become soft too?"

"Yes, they are all made into dry fibers, which makes them easier to carry."

“Can everyone in this world become dehydrated?”

"Of course, you can, as long as you take my dehydration pills. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive in the chaotic era." Luo Xiaofei handed the rolled jasmine to Prince Tianyi, "You took the jasmine and threw it on the road. If they were burned, they would be eaten.”

Prince Tianyi took the soft leather, a very light small roll, and there was no strange feeling when he held it under his arm.

Prince Tianyi held the dehydrated Jasmine between his arms, and Luo Xiaofei carried the hourglass on his back, and the two continued their difficult journey.

Just like the previous few days, the sun in this world moves completely irregularly. After several consecutive long cold nights, a scorching hot day may suddenly appear, or vice versa. People depended on each other, fighting the cold by the campfire, and surviving the heat by soaking in the lake.

On this day, the long night had lasted for nearly a week (timed according to the hourglass). Luo Xiaofei suddenly pointed at the night sky and cheered:

"Flying stars! Flying stars! Two flying stars!!"

In fact, Prince Tianyi has noticed that strange celestial body before. It is larger than a star, can show the shape of a disc the size of a ping pong ball, and moves very fast. It can be clearly seen moving in the starry sky with the naked eye, but it appears this time. Got two.

Luo Xiaofei explained: "When two flying stars appear, the Constant Era is about to begin!"

"Saw it before."

"There's only one."

"Only two at most?"

"No, sometimes there are three, but no more."

"Does the appearance of three flying stars herald a better era?"

Luo Xiaofei glared at Prince Tianyi with fearful eyes, "What are you talking about, three flying stars... just pray that they don't appear."

Luo Xiaofei's words were correct. The Eternal Era they longed for soon began. The sun began to rise and set regularly. Day and night gradually became fixed at about eighteen hours. The regular alternation of day and night made the weather warmer.

"How long can the Constant Era last?" Prince Tianyi asked.

"No one can tell how long a day or a century is." Luo Xiaofei sat on the hourglass and looked up at the noon sun. "According to records, there was a two-century-long Constant Era in the Abata period. , Alas, those who were born in that era were blessed."

"How long will the Era of Chaos last?"

"Didn't I say that apart from the Era of Era, they are all Era of Chaos, and the two are gaps between each other."

"That means this is a chaotic world with no rules?!"

"Yes, civilization can only develop in a longer constant era with a warm climate. Most of the time, human beings can only collectively dehydrate and store it. When the longer constant era arrives, they can collectively resurrect, produce and build .”

"Then how to predict the time and length of each constant era?"

"It can't be done, it has never been done. When the Eternal Era comes, whether the country is soaked depends on the intuition of the Lord of Light, which is often: the soak is resurrected, crops are planted, towns are built, life has just begun, the Eternal Era It was over, the cold and heat destroyed everything."

When Luo Xiaofei said this, he pointed at Prince Tianyi with one finger and his eyes became bright, "Okay, you already know the goal of this game: to use our intelligence and understanding to analyze and study various phenomena and master the laws of the sun's movement. The survival of civilization depends on this.”

"It seems to me that the sun doesn't move in any order at all."

"That's because you failed to understand the origin of the world."

"Have you realized it?"

"Yes, this is the purpose of my going to Tieguo. I will present Erya with an accurate perpetual calendar."

"But along the way, I didn't see you having this ability."

"Predictions about the movement of the sun can only be made in the Iron Kingdom, because that is the intersection of yin and yang, and only the hexagrams taken there are accurate." The two trekked for a long time in the harsh era of chaos. After another short constant era, we finally reached the Iron Kingdom.

Prince Tianyi heard an uninterrupted roar similar to thunder.

This sound was made by many strange things on the Iron Kingdom. They were huge pendulums, each one dozens of meters high. The pendulum's pendulum is a huge stone, suspended by a large rope on an overpass between two thin stone towers. Every pendulum is swinging. What drives them are groups of soldiers in armor. They sing strange chants and pull the ropes tied to the huge stone pendulum to maintain its swing. Prince Tianyi discovered that the swings of all the giant pendulums were synchronous. From a distance, this scene was so strange and fascinating that it looked like clocks standing on the ground and many huge, abstract symbols falling from the sky.

Surrounded by giant pendulums, there is a huge pyramid, which looks like a towering black mountain in the night. This is the palace of the Lord of Light. Prince Tianyi followed Luo Xiaofei into a low cave door at the base of the pyramid. Several soldiers guarding the door were wandering silently like ghosts in the darkness. They walked along a long tunnel. The tunnel was narrow and dark, with torches far apart.

"In the Era of Chaos, the entire country is dehydrated, but the King of Light is always awake, accompanying this lifeless land. If you want to survive in the Era of Chaos, you have to live in this kind of building with extremely thick walls, almost like Living underground can avoid severe cold and heat." Luo Xiaofei explained to Prince Tianyi as he walked.

After walking a long way, we entered the main hall of the King of Light located in the center of the pyramid. In fact, it was not very big and looked like a cave. The person sitting on a high platform wearing a large piece of flowered animal skin is obviously the King of Light, but the first thing that caught the eye of Prince Tianyi was a man in black. His black clothes almost blended with the thick shadows in the hall. In one piece, that pale face seemed to be floating in the void.
