Gu Long had known about the space-time travel before his rebirth, so when he heard it now, he didn't think it was strange at all. What he couldn't understand was Zhang Xiaofan's premature aging and its connection to space-time travel? So he asked: "Are you a person from this time-space?"

  Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and saw that Gu Longfei seemed to know about time-space shuttle, so he asked: "How, do you also know about time-space traversal?"

  The old dragon shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just heard people mention it!"

  Zhang Xiaofan felt a bit nervous and asked: "Who did you hear it from?"

  Kung Lung overheard the unease in his tone, didn't know what reason, but still replied: "This is what I heard from a returned overseas student, he said there was a German scientist named Einstein, who proposed that as long as the speed can reach 300,000 kilometers per second, it can cross time and space! He just said so, whether or not it's true, no one knows, no one has seen it! Because, no one can manufacture such a fast tool!"

  Zhang Xiaofan let out an "oh" and relaxed his tone, then said bluntly: "That Einstein you mentioned, I know him, his theory is outdated! Moreover, Einstein's speed crossing not only has no meaning but also limits people's imagination. Everyone is working hard to make transportation tools to achieve the dream of crossing time and space, resulting in wasting talent and money! Think about it, on this planet, human technology has only reached a certain level, and you want to invent a tool that can exceed 300,000 kilometers per second? Isn't that an absurd fantasy?"

  Feng Xiaotian had never heard of this before, and now listening to Zhang Xiaofan's fluent talk, he couldn't help but wander in his mind, silently thinking about what it was like to travel through time and space.

  The ancient dragon nodded silently, thinking that Zhang Xiaofan's words were not unreasonable. In his previous era, he had heard many stories about time and space travel, and the scientists of that time focused on the concept of speed, without exploring other ways to traverse time and space like Zhang Xiaofan did.

  Zhang Xiaofan continued: "The world I live in, a thousand years from now, the level of technology at that time has completely exceeded your imagination! Even so, it is still impossible to manufacture tools that can reach that speed standard, let alone now!"

  "Ah! A thousand years later?" Feng Xiaotian felt more and more astonished, unable to imagine that the person in front of him was actually from a thousand years later. He couldn't help but ask: "You're from a thousand years later, are Japanese people still here at that time?"

  Zhang Xiaofan burst out laughing and said, "Look at you, you're also getting old, how can you be so ignorant? Have you seen any invaders who can survive for a thousand years on another country's land? These Japanese people, let alone a thousand years, they won't even last ten more years, in four or five years, they'll have to scram!"

  "What? You said they... They will be gone in a few more years?" Feng Xiaotian's emotions were stirred upon hearing the news, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

  Zhang Xiaofan said lightly, "What's so strange about this? What I said is absolutely true. I've read through this period of history, and it's clearly recorded that the Japanese surrendered in 1945. But as for the specific date, I don't recall it too well, because after all, it wasn't my era, and I didn't pay much attention to remembering it!"

  "Good!" Feng Xiaotian's fist slammed onto the straw, and a muffled sound came from the ground. He had originally tried every means to bring back the "Missouri" plan to his hometown, just to make his country's navy strong, no longer subject to the arbitrary bullying of other countries. For this, he spent countless heart and blood, went through hardships and dangers, and even paid the price of a brother's life! Unexpectedly, at this time, he heard a great piece of good news, that the ruthless Japanese were actually going to surrender! The excitement at this moment was hard to express!

  The Japanese surrender, Gu Longfei had already understood through history in the later generations, and he was not as surprised as Feng Xiaotian. He didn't want to waste his breath on this issue, so he asked Zhang Xiaofan: "How do you come and go freely in time and space, and what's the connection with your old age?"

  In the darkness, Zhang Xiaofan bowed his head and let out a long sigh. After half a beat, he said: "This may be a predestined event in the underworld. Such things are encountered by chance, but they will not be easily let go without trying! On my 19th birthday, I met a beggar on the street. I saw that he was pitiful and asked him to eat a bowl of noodles with me. After eating the noodles, the beggar didn't even say thank you, but instead took off a ring from his hand and gave it to me, saying that I was a destined person who should receive this object. I wanted to decline, but before I knew it, he had disappeared. I looked at the ring and thought it was exquisite and lovely, so I felt strange - how could a beggar have such an item? At the time, I didn't think much of it and just put it on my finger!" As he spoke, he raised his left hand and gently waved it in front of Gu Longfei and Feng Xiaotian.

  At this time, the room was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Gu Longfei only vaguely saw a fluorescent ring, which was probably the ring he mentioned. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but Zhang Xiaofan seemed to have sensed his intention and immediately withdrew his palm. The fluorescence flashed once and then disappeared into the darkness.

  "Hey, this thing can't be kept by my side, I've suffered a lot because of it! I just put on this ring and didn't think there was anything special about it. After a few days, I was playing with the ring in my hand when suddenly I thought of something from my childhood. As soon as the thought moved, I heard a 'whoosh' sound by my ear and I returned to my childhood! Looking at the familiar yet strange environment in front of me, I didn't know what had happened at first. It wasn't until after a while that I guessed maybe time-space teleportation had occurred on me. So I concentrated my thoughts and thought about the world I lived in, and sure enough, I heard another sound and returned to where I was originally. At the time, I was overjoyed, thinking I had obtained the greatest treasure in the world, and my heart kept thanking that beggar!"

  Upon hearing this, Gu Longfei finally understood why he had said that Einstein's theory was outdated when he mentioned Einstein's traversal theory. He possessed such a divine ring, traversing time and space, and didn't need any transportation tools at all; as long as he touched the ring with one hand and imagined the time-space he wanted to go to with the other, he could immediately reach it. Although there were many questions in his mind, he didn't interrupt him now either, letting him continue speaking.

  Zhang Xiaofan continued, "After discovering the magical function of this ring, I was overjoyed and constantly shuttled back and forth in different time and space, enjoying it immensely! Alas, who knew that from the very beginning, endless troubles had been buried!"

  Feng Xiaotian just heard the excitement on top, and asked inexplicably: "Such an interesting thing, how can it be a disaster?" He was admiring Zhang Xiaofan's strange encounter, but didn't know that he had other feelings.

  "Gu Long Fei was also very strange, this ring is an incredible treasure, he himself hoped to own one, how could it bring trouble to him? He couldn't help but ask: 'Could your old and withered face be caused by this ring?'"

  Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, not expecting Gu Longfei to be so clever and immediately grasp the key to the problem. He praised: "This brother is really not simple, he guessed the root of my troubles right away! You're absolutely right, when I first started crossing over, I was immersed in boundless joy and had no guard against this matter. It wasn't until one time, when I was taking a bath and saw in the mirror that my face seemed to have aged ten years, that I was shocked and didn't know what had happened to me! Later, when I went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor was astonished by the changes in my body but couldn't find any reason, only asking if anything unusual had happened recently. The doctor's words made me think of the ring - could it be that crossing over had caused me to start aging? After careful consideration, I realized that I had crossed over about ten times and had aged roughly ten years. To determine whether it was indeed due to crossing over that I was aging rapidly, I first measured my bone age at the hospital, which was twenty-nine years old. Then, I deliberately crossed over once more and went for another test - guess what the result was?

  "What is it?" Feng Xiao Tian hastily asked.

  But Gu Longfei had already felt something was off in his heart and replied: "Could it be thirty years old?"

  Zhang Xiaofan nodded in the dark night: "Right, exactly thirty years old! That is to say, every time I cross over, I will age one year!"

  "What could have caused such a change?"

  Ancient Dragon Flying thought to himself in secret, could it be that the human body undergoes a change in structure when crossing over, and after completing the crossing, the cells of the human body accelerate their growth and begin to wither prematurely, but the body can never fully recover its original state!

  It turned out that Zhang Xiaofan said, "I can travel through time and space, this is a huge secret, I don't dare to tell others, let alone doctors. So I started searching for various materials myself, and finally I traveled through time again to 5,000 years later, where I saw an article about the great harm that time travel brings to the human body. The article also said that after people discovered the harm of time travel, they banned humans from traveling through time because once a person travels back and forth in time and space, it accelerates cell aging and death! Otherwise, with the advanced technology of later generations, wouldn't they be able to travel through time at will? That's why you rarely meet people who have traveled through time in your world!"

  Jiulong Fei had always been envious of the idea of crossing over, and now that Zhang Xiaofan was saying it, his beautiful imagination suddenly disappeared, and he felt a chill run down his spine, with a sense of horror.

  "Feng Xiaotian sighed, 'So that's how it is! At first, I was envious when you mentioned crossing over, but I didn't expect there to be such dangers involved! It seems that even if I had the chance in the future, I wouldn't dare to do it again!'"

  Zhang Xiaofan let out a hum, it was unclear whether he was expressing his disapproval of Feng Xiaotian's words or if his mind had wandered elsewhere, and he didn't respond to Feng Xiaotian, suddenly falling into silence.

  After a while, Gu Longfei thought of another question and said: "Since you know the harm of crossing over, you should have stopped immediately. Your current appearance should be around thirty years old, but why did you become so old again?"
