Chapter 517 Tang Zijun's Plan
Hearing this, Suolin wasn't surprised. "This is the lower city, the most dilapidated and run-down place, far from the inner city. What do you expect to feel from here?"
"So we still have to find a way to get to the inner city?" Tang Zijun stroked her chin.
"Why are you thinking about all this?" Zolin pouted, then said excitedly. "If you ask me, since you're already this strong, why don't you just go find the lair of the Epoch Gods and take them all down one by one? Perfect!"
"You make it sound so good, and I'd love to do it too, but have you thought about what will happen to this world after I kill the Gods of the Epoch?" "What will happen? What does that have to do with us? Anyway, after we're done, I'll just go play in another world with you, hahaha~" Suolin chuckled foolishly. After laughing for a while, seeing that Tang Zijun didn't say anything, she suddenly straightened up. "Wait a minute, you're not planning to leave me here, are you?" Tang Zijun rolled her eyes. "That's not the point, okay? The point is, I can't just rush over here, kick the newly formed society of this world to pieces, and then walk away, even if this society is a deformed one, you have to admit that the Gods of the Epoch did give the current wasteland some stability."
"But this kind of stability is wrong."
"I know," Tang Zijun nodded. "That's why we need a more strategic plan. In chaotic times, drastic measures are needed. I definitely have to eliminate the Gods of the Epochs, whether for the sake of the real world or the wasteland. But the prerequisite is whether this world can withstand the aftershocks of their deaths." Tang Zijun frowned again. "And even if we want to eliminate the Gods of the Epochs, it's not an easy task." "Not easy?" Suolin thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Why don't you just travel back in time and eliminate the Gods of the Epochs before they were born, along with those mad scientists, just like they assassinated you? Perfect!"
"You really dare to think that way..." Tang Zijun smirked, then shook her head. "Do you think the gods of the ages didn't consider this possibility after they gained the power to travel through time?"
"The timeline of the wasteland world has long been cut off by the Gods of the Era. In particular, the Gods of the Era's current stronghold has been packed up and moved to the end of the timeline. Even if I travel back in time and kill those scientists, the Gods of the Era in the 'present' will not be in danger, and that period of history cannot even cover this place."
"Because the rules of the wasteland have been changed. It's not just physics and chemistry; many, many things you can't see have undergone subtle alterations. The reason the Gods of the Epochs are doing this isn't just to restrict wasteland technology; their real goal is to sever history." "In two timelines with different rules, even if the past is altered, it cannot affect the present's development. In other words, we cannot eliminate the Gods of the Epochs from the timeline. Furthermore, even if we eliminate the 'present' Gods of the Epochs, it won't matter, because the true 'artificial god' is now at the end of the timeline."
Suolin, listening nearby, was dumbfounded. After a long while, she finally managed to stammer out, "...Damn the gods of the era, did they even plan this far ahead?" Tang Zijun didn't know what to say, and simply shrugged. "There's nothing we can do. This is their territory, and it's an old monster that's been entrenched here for who knows how many years."
"So the most important task now is to break the barrier between the wasteland world and the real world. Since the gods of the era have already severed the history here, fine, then I'll just seize a piece of history and use it as my own territory!"
As she spoke, Tang Zijun narrowed her eyes slightly. "The past cannot be undone, so let's use the present to fight against the future." "I want to thoroughly cleanse the world of the present, not only the epoch gods that remain here, but also the epoch gods hiding at the end of the timeline. If they want to invade the real world, they must first break through this current timeline."
"But the problem is... how many people here are on the side of the Epoch Gods, and how many can be won over? After eliminating those Epoch Gods, I need to establish a relatively harmonious society in order to wipe out those AI machines."
This world is vast, and the wasteland is vast. Defeating the gods of the era might not be too difficult, but killing the omnics one by one, without the help of the Reversal World, is no easy task.
Therefore, organizing the wasteland is of paramount importance, and it must be done swiftly and decisively before the gods of the era can react.
To strike a snake at its vital point, Tang Zijun must seize this opportunity before a new God of Time and Space is created.

Just then, a strange sound reached Tang Zijun's ears.
Looking back, I saw Yedi with her head down, rubbing her fingers shyly, probably because her hungry voice had disturbed Tang Zijun.
Seeing the slight fear still lingering in Yedi's eyes, Tang Zijun simply waved her hand. "Hungry? It's my fault, I completely forgot you hadn't eaten anything on the way here. In that case, let's eat first."
Setting up a stove in this run-down place is a bit difficult, so Tang Zijun had no choice but to opt for a combination of self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice bowls. She just didn't know if Yedi would be able to get used to it.
Tang Zijun poured a large bottle of mineral water into three bowls containing packets of quicklime, then added a layer of food and covered the bowls.
"Okay, it'll be ready to eat in a little while. Don't touch it until then, it's very hot and I'm afraid it will hurt you."
Yedi nodded obediently, then looked curiously at the strange bowl on the ground. She didn't recognize the words and patterns on it, but she felt that it was very exquisite.
At the same time, she was also curious as to why the white bag would heat up when water was poured into it. Just as she was thinking, a hissing sound suddenly came from the bowl. It was steam produced by heating. This sound made Yedi's eyes widen.
Suolin watched Yedi's startled reaction along with Tang Zijun's. After a pause, she smiled and shifted her gaze to Tang Zijun. "Am I just imagining things? I have a feeling you're up to something."
"A conspiracy?" Tang Zijun was taken aback, thinking Suolin was referring to Yedi. "What are you thinking? What conspiracy could I possibly have against a girl?" "Not her, but the wasteland world." Suolin looked intently at Tang Zijun. "You seem to have some kind of plan for this place, some... I can't quite put my finger on it, but I have a feeling you're plotting something."
Tang Zijun smiled upon hearing this. "...You're quite perceptive for a robot."
"Don't underestimate me, okay? I'm the most advanced intelligent robot on the Ark, and you really can't hide your feelings. It's like all your thoughts are written on your face."
"Really?" Tang Zijun subconsciously touched his face. He had always thought she was quite shrewd.
"Don't change the subject!" Suolin opened her mouth. "What exactly are you planning? Can you tell me in advance? I can help you think of something too. My mind works really fast."
Tang Zijun looked Suolin up and down, but did not give an answer immediately. It was not that he was worried that Suolin was an undercover agent of the Gods of the Epoch, after all, she had helped in dealing with the matter of the God of Time and Space, and the suspicion had long been cleared.
Moreover, the other party did not exhibit any energy fluctuations from the gods of the era, which was a key factor that allowed Tang Zijun to trust her.
As for why Tang Zijun hesitated, it was because he was not sure whether his plan could be realized. Doing something like that was definitely not something that could be done just by talking.
Seeing that Tang Zijun remained silent, Suolin puffed out her cheeks. The more he didn't speak, the more Suolin wanted to know. She couldn't describe this feeling in words, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Please tell me, please tell me! I feel like ants are crawling all over my face, you know?"
"Ugh...don't talk about that, it's disgusting." Tang Zijun waved her hand, then shook her head helplessly, reminding him, "Do you remember where we first met?"
"First time meeting?" Zolin blinked, her expression blank.
After thinking for a moment, she finally spoke. "It seems like it was on Katie's train... No, that's not right, you weren't there then. It seems like we first met in the wasteland."
"No, that's not it." Tang Zijun adjusted her glasses and said meaningfully, "If you had talked to Lao Chang about these things, you would know that our real meeting wasn't here."
Seeing that Tang Zijun's expression was somewhat serious, Suolin also became unusually serious.
She did talk to Chang Lei about some things, because she had lost a lot of her memories and didn't know why she had inexplicably appeared in another world. As for their first meeting... it was in a dream world.
The next moment, she suddenly realized something and abruptly looked up at Tang Zijun. "You, you wouldn't be thinking of...!"
"imaginary"
Tang Zijun made a "1" shape with her index finger in front of her lips and smiled.
"It's still far from over. Even if I wanted to do something, I have to solve the problems here first."
"Dinner is ready, let's eat."
