In fact, all his previous ideas about the world of myriad races...
This includes the theoretical "concentric circle world" conjecture.
All his conjectures about the world were aimed at the "past".
In other words, how did the first life, and even the race, originate?
How did all the myriad races develop?
Various speculations flashed through his mind about the past.
However, he seems to rarely, if ever, look to the “future.”
When he was 100,000 years ago, he certainly looked towards this "future" 100,000 years later.
However, at this very moment, a hundred thousand years later, it seems he never imagined it...
The "future" of this era!
That is--
In his "concentric circle world theory", each different concentric circle world has a time difference with other concentric circle worlds.
But before, he understood this "time difference" with a purely linear perspective.
That is, the belief that "time always moves forward".
In other words, when a new smallest concentric circle is born "within" the concentric circle world...
The outermost edge of the concentric circle world continues to "move forward" along the original timeline...
This understanding certainly aligns with the general public's intuitive perception of "time".
Time, of course, flows relentlessly forward...
However, when we step outside the perspective of an "ordinary person" caught in the situation...
To survey the flow of time across the entire world from a far greater, almost "God's-eye view" perspective...
So, is this flow of time still eternally linear?
Jiang Yi had just experienced a scenario where "infinity plus one equals zero" in that boundary battlefield.
His idea that "infinity plus one equals zero" has a prerequisite.
That is, to regard the entire world as "finite".
For example, in the computer world, when you exceed the data limit, there will be a data overflow situation.
For example, suppose a game is set up so that the player's attack range is "0-999".
And when someone within this limited range launches an attack exceeding "999".
Therefore, the result of "999+1" becomes "0".
This is a simplified version of "infinity plus one equals zero".
Its premise is that the entire world is confined to a certain scope.
Just like the attack range limited to "0-999" in the game.
Once the data "overflows", it will return to the "starting point".
So……
Will the development of the entire world of myriad races reach its limit at some point in the "future" and then return to its "starting point"?
In other words, the flow of "time" across all races...
Perhaps it doesn't flow forward forever like a straight line.
Instead, it's like a perfect "circle," starting from the "starting point," going through a long journey, and finally arriving at the "end point," which is also returning to the "starting point."
Why did Jiang Yi suddenly have such a conjecture at this moment?
Because in human science fiction...
People have speculated about the reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs.
They have also constantly envisioned the future of humanity.
One of these is a well-known hypothesis found in science fiction.
This hypothesis suggests that humanity will inevitably face extinction someday in the future.
Even the entire universe may perish.
But after this destruction, there might be another massive explosion!
Then, the universe was born...
Then, the whole world began to develop in a cyclical manner...
In other words, dinosaurs that were "once" extinct will be reborn in a completely new world...
Then, in this new timeline, the dinosaurs became extinct again...
Humans have once again become the dominant species in the biological world...
Then, humanity will become extinct again...
And so it goes, in a never-ending cycle.
Of course, such science fiction is merely fantasy in the current understanding of humankind.
It's even a somewhat absurd fantasy.
but……
Historically, humankind, due to its own limitations, has believed that the world it inhabits is "flat and square."
It was only through continuous development and improved understanding that we gradually came into contact with the truth.
It turns out that the "space" we live in is not "straight", but "circular".
So……
Is our current perception of "time" also flawed, due to the limitations of our own existence, making the same cognitive error as the "flat earth" concept?
Perhaps, like space, time is not "straight" but "circular"?
However, the time span that the creatures within it can possess is far too short...
So short that if you put it on a huge circle, it looks like a straight line.
Therefore, people perceive "time" as a "linear time"?
So……
Jiang Yi rejected the common perception that "time is a straight line".
Instead, we can understand the passage of time using a "circle"...
Therefore, within the "circle" formed by "time", the idea that "infinity plus one equals zero" still holds true.
The idea that "infinity plus one equals zero" can actually be understood in a different way.
That is--
In the world of "circles," when you reach the "limit," when you reach the "end,"...
You've returned to where you started!
and so……
The "one" in infinity plus "one" is an ethereal and intangible "one".
It is not a physical entity; it is neither a step forward in "space" nor a second forward in "time".
But a kind of...
A cognitive shift from "24:00 to 0:00"!
So……
After perfecting the theory of "time as a circle", what will we get if we put it into the theory of "concentric circle world"?
The most obvious and immediate problem is one that is currently troubling Jiang Yi—
This time, the human race has entered the stage of all races...
Was this the first time the entire human race had landed?
Or is it in some unknown, distant future, where humanity has already landed once, and the so-called "first stage" at this moment is nothing more than a "resurrection"?
So the answer should be—
It is both a "debut stage" and a "revival"!
