"Borrowing." Ian succinctly explained with the simplest words: "From the past and future, from infinite parallel space-times."
With the knowledge of the Star Gods that Ian possessed, he could affirm that the Aether Universe is, in essence, an infinitely vast Great Universe, whose nature is [Endlessly Eternal] [Boundlessly Everlasting] [Infinitely Ever-present], with its time having no beginning or end, space having no boundaries, and mass being infinitely mutable.
And such an infinitely vast universe also contains infinite parallel space-times, diverging with infinite possibilities and countless timelines.
It could be the choice of every wise life form. It could be the possibility of every different outcome. Every observation of a quantum leap. Parallel universes are ever-expanding, from the infinitely distant past, to the infinitely distant future, and even in the fleeting 'moment' of the present, infinite parallel space-times are born.
