Star Empire

A matter of time.

Time is dependent on the evolution and operation of existence. When the body of information begins to evolve, begin to flow, and begins to interact with everything around it, the concept of time and the structure of time are also born.

When the structure of the fault zone is "stable", the death tide will completely destroy the development direction and operating rules of all world debris contained in the fault zone. In the infinitely vast "chaos soup", the concept of time will naturally be difficult to survive, even if it can be measured by order. Time has existed, and the raging turbulence will soon overwhelm them.

But now, when the fault zone structure itself begins to collapse and dissipate from the overall level, the directional flow of this large-scale "chaotic soup" will add time-related effects to the fault zone itself at this moment. ——The whole collapses and the whole dissipates. This is one of the trends in the overall evolution. It can be considered as a sign that a relatively fixed time begins to operate stably. If we judge and measure based on this, the fault zone itself will be entangled in the timeline formed by the "collapse".

[A matter of time].

The vast thick clouds that once swirled the wreckage of countless worlds have now lost most of their vitality. They are no longer able to stir up the explosions of the past, and they are no longer able to cause collisions and conflicts between different rules.

The fog that obscured the truth settled and solidified, and the broken space no longer squirmed. Near the crystal-like healing point, those crystal clusters shining with alluring and strange light were slowly swallowed by black and red patterns.

Lightning no longer roars, and the expansion of the boundary tends to stagnate infinitely. The sources of Genesis information that originally flowed in from all directions like pus and blood, continuously injecting boundless power into the expansion and expansion of the fault zone, are exhausted. The stillborn world squeezed out by the shattered abyss has no further value that can be exploited.

Within the body of the dead structure, the river of blood-colored light, which was originally the most crazily active and the most indescribable space-time structure, has been torn apart infinitely. The black undercurrent rises from the depths of the stratum where the basic elements of existence rest, from the highest and most vast. Pressing down from outside the sky, everything here was destroyed, making everything fall into nothingness.

Inside the fault zone, the largest void intrusion for the structure has begun. The original heart of the structure has been torn out, and the vast and endless cold and void are poured into the body of the giant structure from here, pouring into every inch of flesh and blood and every piece of it. The wreckage, every timeline, every inch of space, every possible historical iteration, every possibility and every change.

All of this originally still has its own relatively independent edge, and still has its own combination mode and operation mode. However, facing everything that transcends everything, facing the origin of everything and the end of everything, facing the ultimate vastness and endless sea, here Everything that has rotted can no longer spare the strength to isolate itself from the black ocean.

They dissipate and melt, like a small ice crystal thrown into the boundless ocean. They quickly dissipate until they are invisible.

However, this is the part that is seen, the part that is understood by the order, or the part that the limited order can understand, analyze, and utilize when it looks at the eyes. In places where order and limited eyes cannot see, in nameless places where the memory of order can be disturbed and swallowed up, in corners of chaos and behind the wreckage of disasters that cannot be restored.

There are always some special properties here, some strange phenomena and existences that arise when the opposite of existence annihilates the structure of existence, because the rules are completely destroyed, and reason and restraint completely disappear.

They may never be noticed, or they may be noticed before they happen.

Countless bubbles were squeezed out between the fracture zone and the violently colliding gap between the order structure.

These bubbles come from the blank structure of order, from order and existence itself, from the ascended part of the void, from the infinitely narrow and infinitely broad depths of the gaps and cracks in the world, everything, and the void.

These bubbles burst into pieces, and the black battleships were wrapped in disgusting patterns. They swarmed out in batches from the depths of these bursting bubbles. Countless of them, together with the wreckage in the void, were being gradually destroyed. Together, they disappeared into the new order and the magic and artillery fire of the ancient and powerful gods.

The sharp roar of artillery fire, the unwilling roar when gathering information, strength, and hard work have long been familiar. They have been howling in a meaningless interval for tens of billions of years, but this means nothing - it does not The source, even if you wanted to explore it, it would be difficult to unearth any meaning, just.

What bursts in the bubbles, what is contained in the gunfire, what is trapped in the boundless blanks and gaps is boundless, has long lost its meaning, and has long been impossible to find an end, has no beginning, and no end. meaning.

Thirty billion years ago, the most powerful top civilization in the void failed to build a bridge, and its entire civilization fell into the raging black tide under the violent backlash in the chaotic sea realm.

After that, the remaining individuals and attributes of civilization that could still maintain their own sanity and calmness tried hard, but everything was powerless. They were devoured and transformed by the new existence that was powerful enough to distort the order of the void, and The ruins of civilization, under the influence of ancient self-discipline orders, execute orders one after another with unknown accuracy, which have been issued by which ruler and which region in an unknown era.

The Great Wall of the Void burned the "prices" that countless civilizations were willing to pay to light up the final beacon. The groups of weights of different properties scattered throughout the void were given missions. The already chaotic vortex of existential attributes above the civilization was once tried. Separated, blocked by attempts. However, that is meaningless. The civilization that has entered the stage of arrogance and even madness no longer cares about the ancient gods, the prosperity of the past, and the endless reality that has been struggling to pursue its footsteps.

In the void, countless worlds and huge structures composed of worlds lit up one by one. They were connected to each other to form a vast plateau. In the end, rational orders became increasingly rare, and the kings of the world were involved in the whirlpool of madness one by one. In front of the towering towers and bright "stars" of the Quadrant Continent, the self-consistent law armor of the decisive battle flagship team penetrates the concept of order that can only be used when measuring extraordinary information...

Convergence, collection, iteration, bridging, collapse

Scenes after scenes that have been mixed up in the era combine to form a ridiculous farce. In a place where no one watches, no one organizes, no one can remember, and no one can find it, the curtain never ends and the scene never ends.

The physical structure of civilization has collapsed, and the countless wreckage scattered across the void and dissipating are indelible and ironclad evidence.

However, will the will of civilization, the hard work of civilization, the foundation accumulated by civilization over hundreds of millions of years, and the desire of civilization that has been iterated in madness for hundreds of billions of years, be so easily dispersed?

At this moment, in the former artificial god world, in the depths of the ruins of the endless eternal space where endless time and space, countless possibilities, and infinite will and wishes were once superimposed, near the huge chaotic sea gate whose status has long been unknown. The emergence ceremony that was once promoted by civilization and was probably the largest in history in the entire void was about to succeed but collapsed.

Surrounded by countless battleships, countless facilities, countless souls, and extremely tall towers of existence attributes, the scale is unimaginable, and the probabilities and fates that are twisted and combined here are raging there. The chaos in the sea disappeared after the backlash subsided.

However, will it really disappear, with no traces, no wreckage, nothing left, and everything has passed?

Worry.

"Top Civilization", "Third Protoss". These titles and words can explain one's advancedness and power. The road he has traveled is further than that of the gods. He has seen areas that even the gods have not penetrated so deeply. He has completed it by himself. He has accomplished all kinds of feats that even the gods have not yet accomplished - the top civilization, and he deserves the title.

However, it is worth noting that "top civilization" can only be a relative concept for a period of time. The top civilization at this time does not represent the eternal top civilization. It's just that at this moment, I have to be far ahead of others.

Walking in front, in a sense, as a "leader". Naturally, you will face more difficulties and deal with more dilemmas - there are no forerunners here, and you can only explore the road geometry in the dark by yourself, and this process is full of difficulties. There are dangers and obstacles, and the development process cannot always be smooth sailing or without any mistakes, no matter how powerful the advancing civilization is.

As the level of development increases, and as the path of development continues to deepen into the unknown darkness, once these mistakes occur, it may cause civilization to fall even worse, far worse than those civilizations that have not yet reached this point.

In order to cope with these mistakes, in order to prevent the consequences of mistakes from escaping the fate of destruction once they occur, civilizations continue to back up themselves and enrich themselves. Their huge size exceeds the imagination of any civilization that has not walked through this place. They are the key to resisting radical changes. The last line of defense. But as the road becomes narrower, it becomes more and more difficult to meet the corresponding requirements. Even in the end, if the requirements need to be met, preparation will take at least an infinite time.

This is impossible.

There are not many existences in civilization to communicate with, and it is naturally impossible to know possible loopholes and fatal traps in advance. You can only walk these paths by yourself.

Civilization has also hesitated, should it stop temporarily? Choosing to pause at a certain height does not mean that civilization will decline and become extinct - the simplest example is that not everyone within a civilization must become the ruler of the sky to be qualified to live. The history of civilization spans trillions of years, and many individuals may have existed longer than the new world, but those individuals are still ordinary members of the civilization, and they can survive.

These decisions have been discussed before, but everything seems to be in this discussion again and again. It becomes increasingly impossible to look back.

The sea of ​​chaos is as high as the height of order. No matter how high civilization develops, the most violent sea disasters can catch up like a reflection. In countless confrontations, a steady state can never be achieved, and no matter how high the height is, it cannot guarantee the stability of the foundation of existence. Madness and anger, arrogance and reality have separated civilization itself and the reason and wisdom of all those who think about these things. Madness is like a giant net, invisible but covering the sky and the sun.

Wait...is that just that...? ?

Regret.

These may be avoidable, but in that era, since no one foresaw it and no one stopped it, now that everything has passed, what's the use of criticizing these mistakes from a later perspective, from a perspective above everything else? Woolen cloth?

Could the void really be that simple?

Once upon a time, civilization also believed that this vast ocean, this endless world, this darkness that contains the birth and end of all is everything, it is the whole, it is the ultimate answer and truth.

But the god's answer has shocked civilization for too long - the chaotic sea is closely related to the structure of the void. On the other side of the chaotic sea, there is another coast, a vast and boundless coast like this one.

If no one hints at the answer, the truth may never be discovered.

While exploring the depths of the chaotic sea, some people within civilization have also raised questions - does the void stop here?

The gods have been unable to answer this, but the Will of the Void has never given an answer? What did they do? No - how is this possible? !

Some of the most radical ideas link terrifying possibilities to phenomena that perhaps shouldn't be connected - void creatures love order, but are slow and inert, unwilling to live up to their grandiose plans. The will is unwilling to activate its own power as the source at all times.

They seemed to be just passers-by in history, just walking through the world, just watching quietly, watching the gods, and watching the development and progress of countless civilizations. They seem to be more willing to help these civilizations figure out what the civilizations themselves are thinking, rather than telling them what "they" are thinking and what they want...

There's something familiar about this, but if it's true...

Σ is constantly developing internally, and development means that old content may be eliminated and new structures may be created and used.

Among them, the part that is modified the slowest actually has no intuitive connection with itself - the part that is modified the slowest is connected to countless civilizations and countless lives under the radiation of its own existence attribute.

For them, their simple order may require countless civilizations to devote a huge amount of time, resources and even lives to complete it. If the order is changed overnight, other civilizations will soon be overwhelmed by it. It is precisely to ensure that those relatively weak civilizations can survive stably, and there are few real substantive changes in the content related to them.

If the inertia of the Void Will also comes from this... Is it possible that this means that the relationship between the Void Will and the gods, itself, and everything in the void is just like the relationship between the Void Will and its subordinates who need to be protected and taken care of? The same as countless civilizations, or even... worse? Is their "laziness" manifested because they don't want to hurt everything, they want to protect everything?

So, void...

No, it's not necessary.

Just the part that is already known is actually vast enough and despairing enough.

Compared with reality, compared with the needs and operations of life, compared with limited and fixed existence, thoughts and algorithms, speculations and assumptions can ascend infinitely, without margins, and there is no end.

The boundlessness of assumptions and speculations most likely means that reality transcends its corresponding existence.

Void...it has the ability to breed infinite worlds, it has the ability to carry infinite possibilities, and it can juxtapose infinite existences. Perhaps, it can also exist infinite infinity... In the end, in the endless ladder composed of infinite changes in steps, infinity itself is vast and boundless.

As for the background and foundation of all this... no matter what we face, the void seems to have always been there, and it has never existed, which is not certain. It has stopped no development and given no help.

The information contained within countless worlds, the existence attributes that are either prominent, diffuse or disappearing inside and outside countless worlds, and even the concept of infinity itself, once directed and guided, may eventually create something far beyond the sum of itself. terrible results.

Once upon a time, within civilization, as innovation intensified, as countless existences were updated faster and faster, countless tired worlds could no longer bear the endless changes in the depths of reality and the vast plateau of existence attributes. There is a terrible tension that pulls technology and ideas back to barbarism and back to the past.

This weird phenomenon that spins everything is strange and incredibly powerful, because for civilization, it is some kind of void structure that originates from itself being projected into reality, it is a kind of mirror, and it is also a kind of... shadow.

In order to fight against it, in order to fight against itself, civilization has used all its decisive battle flagships, all powerful weapons, and all its ideas. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of itself by countless transcendent metaphysical firepower regardless of the cost, this strange The tension finally faded temporarily, and the scars left by that disaster... may be the same as the many tests before and after. Those hideous scars have not healed yet.

This is only now. Although the existence of other ways may make the relationship between tools, effects and real environments not absolutely natural, but... in a more absolute sense... the distance from the "threshold" Still endlessly far away.

And the first generalized infinite threshold in the void that acts on the endless world... is Aleph Zero. The potential it possesses integrates countless sequences. It is a vast collection, all countable infinite sequences. It's all here.

Then, the concept and meaning climbed from there, reaching the next potential, reaching Aleph One. However, this is only a step forward. And just this step, in the process of how to expand the horizon from sequence to upward, the difficulty has been stacked to the point of endless madness.

If you need to actually do it, if you only rely on yourself and the way you gain power to construct macroscopic entities related to it in the void, then this is probably... unlikely.

The improvement of potential requires external force and a new definition. After this definition, this infinite step will be simplified into one step.

All curves, all surfaces, all...

The ladder continues to ascend. In the process of continuous advancement, the limitations of expression determine that on this path of ascension, we may need to face countless terrifying fixed points, and face countless kinds of unknowns that we don't know what to call " The path of "invention" or "discovery"... No matter how you replace it, one or a few steps... one step is the difference between the world, but countless steps can't get out of the endless road that is just the beginning. Facing the limited Does step count still matter?

…

Until the end, the limit can no longer be crossed. At this point, the goal is no longer reachable.

...Beyond the unimaginable realm, they, these classes who use unimaginable huge resources, exhaust crazy speculations, need to water all the illusions, etc., can only peek at its edges and traces... If the constraints disappear, the closure can Completely transform into absolute openness in all aspects... Can all this be established in the void?

If it can really exist... then, if it is an information body of this scale, if such infinity is really pushed together and directed for some reason... then what will happen in the end? What will be produced? What might they be involved in...and what might it be?

...It’s too far, too far to be proven, so far to be extremely arrogant, so far to be absurd, and so far that it’s never possible.

Countless steps back, even if possible, they are already far beyond the unreachable absolute, and they should not be considered. Just like those countless lives - countless lives that have not left the cradle at all, it is not necessary and meaningless for them to know whether there is anything else outside the universe and the world. It is not necessary and meaningless for them to know every moment. Think about what might happen in these places and then think about it as if it would happen to you tomorrow.

In fact, if we really consider these, if we really take these endless and distant unknown possibilities as goals to prepare for now, and use them as a guarantee of stability, will civilization still have its own changes and future? Will civilization still have a future?

But they, or some part or parts within them...even if they are impossible, but even if they are known to be so, have they really not been considered, disassembled by countless algorithms, studied, or calculated?

Relying on algorithms, relying on ideas, relying on all kinds of crazy and incredible ways to ascend, bypass pure calculation and stacking, and then extend upwards, occupy all possible and impossible levels of infinity, occupy everything, all members are deified, and all To achieve the emptiness of all members, and to seek omniscience and omnipotence in the true sense...haven't you ever had these thoughts and attempts before?

But where do they come from? Why...have such an attitude, even if you know that there may not be any hope in the end? Doesn’t it come from yourself? no? What about part of yourself? ?

Even if these contents are overly exaggerated and lead to serious mistakes, what is the real possibility? Are there possible danger stratifications that need attention here? Not all, but at least a certain projection, a certain aspect, certain relationships that need to be taken care of?

What exactly was wrong? Why is civilization so crazy? Why does civilization continue to rise in madness, but then perish at the most powerful moment?

Anxiety and rage did not instantly envelope the entire civilization, nor did they instantly change everyone's will and attitude.

Wait, that net

Civilization does not understand everything, nor does it solve all the problems it encounters. Many times, "appropriationism" is not wrong, but they leave too many shadows in areas that are beyond the reach of reason and analysis.

What are the original fragments and the unknown derivatives copied from the fragments in the information annihilation missile?

Once upon a time, weird questions were asked by the most mysterious and weird people in civilization——[Why——Afraid]——

Will the forgotten ones be the source of the spreading fear, anxiety, rage and even indescribable emotions?

If these can still be corrected, if we can take another look and take a step slower, could everything be different from this, or... more than this?

But how should they be considered? Even if you think about it, how will you do it? The finite cannot fight against the infinite, there is no doubt about it.

Who is thinking? Who is thinking?

Who is speaking? Who is talking?

what to do? Can anyone point out - what exactly to do now?

Why is there such a change? Why are you still thinking about this? Everything has been irreversible for a long time, and the ghost that can't even touch reality, why refuse to disperse? Or...that I no longer have the ability to calm myself down and control myself?

Who's asking? Is it yourself, order, or something else?

No one can come and tell myself. The vast black ocean seems to have lost its ability to carry all things, and its original stability and tranquility. Although it has never changed, it will not and should not change, because these things will no longer change after they act on the void. What does it mean anymore?

Loneliness, struggle, and hatred.

Is being powerful the original sin?

It is difficult for a body to take care of every micro-element of itself. Even if it can be taken care of clearly, details that are too small will be difficult to care about unless necessary.

If we regard civilizations as super-individuals, then the same is true within civilizations and between civilizations.

If a powerful being still wants to have his own right path, then this aspect will inevitably be demoted. And if he must care about all the content, can a powerful being still have his own right path? In other words, even if a powerful being can take over all of this and manage it all, when all of this is really brought under the jurisdiction of a powerful being, will there be other beings in the void?

Before everything was omniscient and omnipotent, there would always be shortcomings and regrets. Trying to do better does not mean that all current contradictions and all shortcomings must be eliminated at any cost. That would be putting the cart before the horse, both for yourself and others.

Even if the view is taken to the extreme - perhaps change and movement itself are bound to be accompanied by the rise and fall of contradictions. It is even possible that... the rise and fall of contradiction itself is the embodiment of change and movement.

wisdom

Is it really necessary?

For hundreds of millions of years, there have been too many painful memories, too much pain and too much sorrow. Endless problems will never go away, and there will always be misdirections and thorns on the way forward. Some of these will be erased by the joy of success, some will be blocked by strong will and iron discipline, some will be diluted over time, and some will be forgotten as the memory carrier passes away. And there are some. They go deep into the bone marrow, deep into the soul, and deep into the foundation of existence. They are imprinted on every word and deed of the past. They are difficult to forget.

Having reached this point, this final, irreversible failure is the same as all other failures, but this time, no one is here to help save it all. Time cannot be turned back. The ideas that once influenced other civilizations are now void. Act on yourself.

reason

Is it really necessary?

If ignorance replaces reason and enlightenment, then everything does not need to be understood, learned, summarized, utilized, or mixed into reason. Everything expands and dissipates in chaos, blindness and ignorance, like a fault zone that expands and extinguishes. If the blind and foolish future experiences the same story, can the final chaos reach the same vastness and distance, but avoid all the pain caused by wisdom, cognition, and reason?

Is this self-denial? But where is the self? For hundreds of millions of years, no one can forgive me for my mistakes, no one can complain about my words, I can only bear my own mistakes, I can only hear my regrets, and I can only taste the bitter fruits I have sown - however, I Long gone.

…

Thousands of words, thousands of thoughts, endless distractions, boundless regrets, and feeble struggles were washed away by the endless black tide, and were severely squeezed between order and void.

They turn into hate.

In the vast and boundless cage, the void that cannot be broken free is filled with boundless hatred inside and outside.

"Woo--buzz~"

The howling mixed with the torrent of shaped information pours out. Just like the resistance that has never stopped for tens of billions of years, the howling has never stopped.

“Woo-buzz~~——”

“Aww——————!!!!!!”

Silent screams rise from the deepest depths of the earth and press down from beyond the highest endless sky. Inhuman howls erupted from the deepest depths of reality, sweeping across every corner of reality like void light and shadow.

Here, no one screams; at this time, the scream is silent.

Neither are they.

Just hate.

"well"

The sigh seemed to come from the void.
