Myriad Paths

Yang Ning and Shen Shuibi seemed to have some kind of connection.

However, this is only natural. Around the two of them, time and space began to act out of common sense.

The so-called ‘black rabbit’ itself refers to time.

And time and space are one.

The first thing Shen Shuibi came into contact with was the problem of space. After that, she was able to use fractals to reach the infinite within the finite, and she became a fourth-level person.

This is not just about realizing the principle of fractals, but that she has directly mastered the ability to construct infinite fractals. She can use magic to divide infinity and build infinite structures in finite reality. This is a power far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is enough Let her ascend to the fourth level.

However, this still leaves something to be desired.

At this moment, the undulating network structure of the high-dimensional space constructed by Shen Shuibi forms a valley that continues downward.

This is the overview of the space Li Qi sees so far.

The current space is not a Euclidean space that can be represented by one dollar.

If the space they see is directly reflected without any processing, it will only cause incomprehensible cognitive confusion.

If there is no way to get something to look at, then it can only be replaced by formulaic description.

The so-called ‘formula’ is actually nothing more than ordinary people using their own wisdom to simulate the existence of ‘Tao’.

All data and calculations are just brief descriptions of the scenery within this indescribable conceptual space.

It is as if mortals cannot truly understand the four-dimensional space, but they can describe it through mathematical language.

It is impossible to face the four-dimensional scenery directly, but it can describe the four-dimensional situation.

But for the Usagi sisters, things took a different turn.

Countless planes that are constantly changing form a slowly undulating fertile field, and each 'plane' is a slice of time.

Yes, time slices, the smallest unit of time set by Yang Ning, are just like the ‘frames’ of animation, separated into pieces and then completed by fractals.

Then, under this structure...'life' appeared.

Yes, life, and intelligent life born naturally.

They look like a twisted manifold, with only parts of it having the properties of Euclidean space, and the rest must be described using topology.

In high-dimensional fractals, naturally occurring life moves forward in groups, interacting with each other, looking for "negative entropy" in the straw hat-shaped high-energy area. If it dies, it will turn into an avalanche and roll down the valley.

The field stretches infinitely, branching out and displaying diversity, like particles fading in the Higgs field.

Cut off on a certain time plane, the group at the bottom of the Straw Hat Valley became a new species at that point in time.

They continue to bifurcate and sink deeply, and then form a 'cycloid' in high-dimensional space.

A charged particle falls statically in a magnetic field perpendicular to the gravitational field. If no other forces are involved in this process, and only the Lorentz force and gravity are considered, the trajectory of the particle is a cycloid. This actually illustrates the "automatic" selection of the particle. The easiest way to reach your destination in nature.

Nature itself will choose the simplest and most convenient answer.

It's all natural.

The conclusion that the path of light is the shortest in time tells you that every point moving on the cycloid conforms to the change in speed when light is refracted.

By applying differential calculus and deriving the two together, we can naturally conclude that the cycloid is the fastest curve.

Li Qi watched all this.

He saw...another possibility.

The time and space of the universe are infinite, or rather, "infinite time" and "infinite space" are inevitable in the universe, because space and time are only descriptions, not reality.

The entire universe of fractal space seems to have a complex trend, and it is different from what Li Qi had imagined before.

As a third-grade man, he was actually inspired by a fourth-grade and a fifth-grade man!

But Li Qi didn't dwell on that. He was just paying serious attention to Yang Ning's breakthrough and the role of Chenji's golden elixir method in it.

As we all know, the Chenji Golden Pill Method is the fundamental method for a second-level person.

Yang Ning and Shen Shuibi were the direct offspring of this second-grade ‘Black Rabbit’, and they were special in themselves.

Now, Yang Ning was inspired by Li Qi to break through to the fourth level. In this process, the miraculous things revealed...the form of the universe shocked Li Qi.

The difference between this and Li Qi's previous thinking is that Li Qi has always believed that life itself is a structure that appears under specific circumstances, and that life is not an 'inevitability' but an 'accident'.

It’s easy to understand. Although intelligent life will continue to be born in various harsh environments, there are places like ‘life forbidden areas’, especially when no one is taking care of them.

The inflation of the early universe, as well as various symmetry breaks and various phase changes, can actually correspond to an 'era'. The earlier the era, the better it is for life.

In the earliest period of the universe, huge stars were born, burned, and died. The universe did not even have physical rules. Everything was propagating in the terrifying high temperature of the Planck temperature. The speed of light was infinite, the dimensions were infinite, and there was only one force. 'It's called 'super power'. All time, space and matter are integrated. At this point in time, all first-class products will appear here at the same time.

Then, at this moment, it is the most prosperous and the most "shortcut" moment in the universe.

According to the history that Li Qi knew, at this first moment, there was only Haotian, and Haotian was the only one who was born at this point in time.

But later, with the birth of other first-class ones, the universe was constantly pushed back to this point in time. In other words, every time a first-class was born, the universe would return to this era and start again.

After this initial glory, there will be corresponding mass extinctions at the end of each era, when the universe takes on a completely different phase.

When strong and weak forces were separated, the first batch of 'super-powerful beings' became extinct, and they lost the foundation of their existence, unless they were promoted to the fourth level and could survive on their own.

When the weak force and the electromagnetic force separated, the second batch of life became extinct.

When the four basic forces were completely separated and another group of lives became extinct, the universe began to cool down from its extreme high-energy state. High-energy life completely lost its foundation and could only exist in the form of an 'isolated island' around Guixu.

Although intelligent races always have one way to survive, they can only slowly witness the universe becoming colder and unable to change this general trend.

But in the high-dimensional space constructed by Yang Ning and Shen Shuibi, everything was just a point in the beginning.

Then, the universe began to become 'complex' spontaneously.

Points turn into lines, lines turn into surfaces, surfaces turn into shapes, and bodies turn into high-dimensional cubes. The universe begins to fractal and spontaneously becomes complex. Can the 'natural' state of the universe actually be a complex mixture?

This is why the 'cycloid' just surprised Li Qi.

"This... this is obviously a cycloid..." Li Qi murmured.

Yes, it is obviously a cycloid. In other words, this is the same as the lowest energy of the Higgs field. Matter will naturally fall and automatically be at the lowest energy point. The universe will naturally fall back from a high-energy state to a low-energy state and become colder. , becomes sparse, super force naturally differentiates, symmetry is broken, and vacuum decay continues to occur.

This is a 'natural' thing. Lower energy levels represent a more stable state, but life will become extinct because of this. Life feeds on negative entropy. Lower and lower energy levels will make it more and more difficult for life to be born. It’s also harder to survive.

A super-powered race born from an energetic, nascent universe is inherently immortal.

But after the subsequent cooling, the baryonic life forms that can only survive by relying on the cold light emitted by a little star, such as ordinary carbon-based life forms, naturally cannot touch the talents of super-powered races.

These super-powerful races are now called ‘gods’.

But it will fall even further, just as it is difficult for inorganic beings like ‘demon’ to become gifted like ‘human beings’.

As just mentioned, although intelligent races always have one way to survive, they can only slowly witness the universe becoming colder and cannot change this general trend.

Therefore, as the energy level decreases, the birth of life becomes more and more difficult, and the survival of life itself becomes more difficult.

Without intervention, the universe will become colder and colder. This is a natural rule and there is no reason.

If all stars eventually do not turn into ruins, or directly explode into supernovae, then they will collapse into a huge glass ball composed of baryonic elements and will not emit light. At this time, just as the energy level is getting more and more If this rule is followed, its temperature will be greatly reduced, and you can even touch it with your hands without getting hurt. The non-stop evaporation process makes the starry sky darker, and you can even hear the soft crackling sound coming from the dark universe.

This crackling sound is the sound of protons, which are the sounds made when protons split into quarks - from an extremely long-term perspective, even baryons are unstable, they will continue to decay, and everything will become colder and colder.

This is the inevitable demise that the Death Demon lineage proposed many years ago.

Even if a brand new universe can be created out of nothing, it is just replacing the old with the new, and the old things cannot prevent their gradual decline.

but--

In the hands of the Usagi sisters, all this changed.

The power of nature takes a new form here, and the space they create will naturally differentiate into more complex and high-energy situations.

Here, life catalytic systems can be born in unimaginably harsh places in the universe. This is not only limited to ordinary matter or lighter gas, but also applies to more exotic structures, such as defects in space and time itself.

That's right, the defects of space-time itself are like the natural cracking of the cycloid just mentioned. The cycloid itself of each convex manifold Mexican hat is enough to form a negative entropy structure, that is, it has the ability to become The possibility of living beings.

It turns out that more complex forms can also exist, and the universe can spontaneously move towards a high-energy state.

Is this all that Chenji Jindanfa wants to reveal?

Sure enough, traveling between the sun and the moon is not that simple.

Although he was watching from the side, Li Qi was not completely in a daze. He had reached out to block all the movement around him, bending and closing time and space, making it impossible for all the information inside to leak outside.

Then, he sat there, unfolding his true knowledge, and watched the Usagi sisters exchanging speeches with each other.

Being able to bring enlightenment to Li Qi is enough to show how extraordinary it is.

This is...another possibility.

is a branch on the tree of possibility.

Wutu is just the manifestation of all this, so... what is Chenji's own power? Is it really nothing more than an ‘absolute reference system’?

Although, the 'absolute reference system' itself cannot be described as 'just'.

That is an absolute reference system.

Li Qi watched all this quietly.

Then, a ray of his thoughts quietly entered the high-dimensional space around the Usagi sisters.

Li Qi prepared to talk to these real high-dimensional creatures.

Although to them, Li Qi is the real high-dimensional creature. Li Qi has long transcended the dimensions of space and become the definer of dimensions.

Li Qi quietly entered the high-dimensional time and space and came into contact with those strange beings that ordinary people could not understand.

The bodies of these beings are manifolds, that is to say, their bodies can promote changes.

Let’s call it the Manifold Clan.

Li Qi came to the time and space of this 'Manifold Clan', but he did not change. Instead, he maintained his proper posture and just entered it to observe.

Then, in the eyes of the 'Manifold Tribe', there is a special hole in their hometown, which is the silhouette of low-dimensional space in high-dimensional space.

It's like a two-dimensional plane appears in the three-dimensional world. If we use metaphor, it is a 'shadow'.

Shadow is a two-dimensional thing in the three-dimensional world. It has no thickness and is just a two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional object.

A shadow without a light source appeared in the manifolds' field of vision.

It's not quite right to say it's vision. They don't rely on visual senses. In high-dimensional space, the source of light is too complex to serve as a suitable sense.

As primitive creatures, their perception is the simpler and more convenient 'tactile'.

Coupled with the changeable nature of manifolds, one can even say that these are some 'bugs', but their bodies can fold more outrageously, and can fold themselves into high-dimensional manifolds.

If three-dimensional life were to look at it, their bodies would be like a homogeneous group of curved surfaces, an infinite twist mixed together, changing every moment, like a kaleidoscope, and they would never appear the same. pattern, and it keeps disappearing and reappearing.

Their ‘language’ is also formed through such distortions.

By contacting the same kind of bodies, then twisting the manifold, and the bodies are connected with each other, the manifold will change at an astonishing speed, thus touching the sense of touch of both parties, and finally separate, completing a 'conversation'.

And in such a kaleidoscope, a 'shadow' appeared.

This is something that these high-dimensional beings in a high-energy state are absolutely unable to understand, so changes are caused.
