The air was quiet for a while.
There was silence in the office.
Xiao Qi looked at Chu Guang worriedly and asked him with her eyes whether he needed to call Heya and bring a few more psychiatrists.
However, Chu Guang shook his head and indicated that it did not need to notify the Guards Regiment, as it could handle it on its own.
It was not entirely out of confidence in his own strength, but mainly because he did not feel an obvious threat from the other party, or had any obvious malicious motives.
Although his feeling is not necessarily accurate, it still has some reference value.
After all, perception is actually the embodiment of "spiritual energy", and the connection established between the two parties at this moment may be some form of resonance field.
Chu Guang didn't know how this was done, and the other party seemed surprised by the connection established between them at this moment, but no matter what, being able to communicate was a good start.
He is better at using managerial methods than using force.
Moreover, if it is really a trouble that I cannot solve, no matter how many other people come, the same will happen...
About five minutes later, the mysterious voice floated into his ears again.
"The pen...well, I didn't take that thing away, but I know how it disappeared and where it went."
Chu Guang did not speak but waited for it to continue.
The voice paused for a moment and then continued.
"This is related to the nature of the world you live in and the final destiny. Although it is still too far away for you, it will come one day... The story may be a bit long. Are you interested in hearing it?"
Chu Guang Congshan Ruliu said.
"Appreciate further details."
"Then I'll start from the beginning..."
The mysterious voice continued.
"A long, long time ago, when the original universe was not yet born, everything was in a state of absolute stillness, with neither entropy increase nor entropy decrease...even the concept of time did not exist."
"Until a certain moment, a particle as small as dust vibrated, triggering an avalanche-like chain reaction, finally breaking the eternal silence. Light lit up in the boundless chaos, and sounds appeared.
There are many new things that did not exist in the world outside time... We call this originally born universe the 'primordial universe', and that is the beginning of everything."
Chu Guang frowned slightly. He didn't know how this guy managed to get the origin of the universe from his pen, but he still followed its words and continued.
"You're talking about...the Big Bang? I think I've heard of it, but I don't really understand it."
The mysterious voice neither confirmed nor denied, but continued in a calm tone.
“All things have shifted from eternal stillness to never-ending motion. Time begins to have meaning from this moment on, and the original universe is also constantly expanding in the eternal increase of entropy... just like a soap bubble that gets bigger and bigger.
"
Chu Guang asked blankly.
"Fat, soap bubbles?"
The voice in the darkness said patiently.
"Yes, this is the easiest way to understand. If I don't use the concepts you understand to give examples, you will not be able to imagine what the original universe was like... just like ants can never understand what the sea is, the sea and the doorstep of their home.
What is the difference between a small river and a small river, and what is a manned spacecraft?"
"In short, it is an extremely huge bubble, its size cannot be measured in light years. If your galaxy is compared to a leaf, then it is the sum of all the leaves of the entire galaxy...even bigger than this
.”
That... is really amazing.
Chu Guang was amazed at how big the world was, but he had no other thoughts other than that.
If what this guy of unknown origin said is true, even the vast Milky Way is just a leaf in front of that huge order of magnitude, and the bacteria living on this leaf seem to have no need to worry about those distant things.
That kind of existence is too far away from human civilization.
It's like a story from another world.
Even if a wildfire breaks out in this forest, that little time is enough for the bacteria on the leaves to reproduce for several generations before the flames turn everything into ashes.
In that case——
As bacteria, they had better eat the leaves in front of them first.
As if seeing what he was thinking in front of him, the mysterious voice continued in a eloquent tone.
"Your idea is correct. It is not the obligation of snails or ants to maintain the order of the forest. But... what I want to say is the origin of void. If I don't explain the whole story clearly, you won't understand what void is and how it works.
Where did you come from, and where did your pen go?"
"I agree with your point of view, please continue." Chu Guang looked at him and said.
The voice in the darkness seemed to have planned to do this, and continued speaking at a gentle speed.
"The 'primordial universe' has existed for a long, long time. There is no reliable clue to prove whether there is a civilization in that universe. Even I, who has also existed for a long time and has explored many universes, have not found that in the endless universe.
They are the remaining traces of civilization in the universe. They may not have existed in the beginning, or they may have existed and turned into something else.”
"However, our exploration is not without success. Through traceable clues, we know that the original universe not only gave birth to matter, but also gave birth to three 'consciousness bodies'. And they are the masters of the void - the original light
, the indescribable fog, and the darkness of chaos.”
This guy's painting style gradually became strange, and the concepts he described far exceeded human civilization's understanding of the material world.
Chu Guang couldn't help but ask.
"What is that?"
The voice in the dark place did not give in, and answered his question happily.
"Light is the origin of all things, fog is the unpredictable cause and effect, and darkness is the end of the universe's reincarnation... They are both consciousness and rules, and together they form the cornerstone of the void."
"Various clues indicate that the birth of consciousness accelerated the collapse of the original universe. When the huge soap bubble burst with a 'bang' and exploded into endless smaller soap bubbles, there was that
Endless 'new universes after this'."
"And your Milky Way and even the collection of all other galaxies within the horizon outside the Milky Way belong to one of those endless bubbles."
"As for the void, it is the gap between bubbles, which is the 'wall' you realize by digging graves."
"There are not only the three consciousnesses born in the original universe, but also the new consciousnesses they bred over the long years, as well as the corpses of countless dead universes."
Chu Guang stared at it blankly, and it took him a long time to digest this huge amount of information.
The universe is an endless bubble...
And the void is the corpse of the dead universe...including the corpse of the original universe that failed to give birth to a new universe?
In the face of this incredible information, the pen matter no longer seems important.
Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, Chu Guang said impatiently.
"This is different from what we know from pioneer civilizations...the universe they described was a nested structure."
certainly.
He does not agree with this nested structure.
In contrast, he agrees more with the concept of parallel universes. Different universes exist independently of each other, just like two parallel lines.
The voice in the darkness said with a smile.
"This is normal. The same apple will inevitably have different understandings in the hands of different people. The child you called 'pioneer' only explained the 'sea' they saw. Just like you use
The dimensional theory explains the membrane of the universe as a vibrating plane in eleven dimensions. They use the theory of the Creator to explain the relationship between the consciousness in the void and the universe."
After a pause, it continued.
"They are very smart, but not smart enough. They confuse the concepts of dimensions and membranes, and think that the universe is a nesting doll. The consciousness of one existence must be created and enveloped by the earlier consciousness of another existence, and was born in
The three major consciousnesses of the original universe are the creators and omnipotent rulers of the universe in which they live... This is actually inaccurate."
Chu Guang stared into his increasingly clear eyes. While he was shocked by this shocking reality, he also suddenly realized another problem.
"In other words... the place where the pioneer civilization went is not actually the universe of the Creator?"
There was a touch of approval in his eyes.
"You are very smart and have a high level of understanding. You are worthy of being the continuation of that person...although you can hardly see his shadow on your body."
Chu Guang asked in astonishment: "Whose shadow?"
"I once knew an old friend. To you, it probably happened a long, long time ago... Don't worry about it, it's not an important thing to you."
The mysterious voice did not answer directly, but simply dismissed the topic and continued the topic just now.
"To answer your previous question, I think there are two understandings of whether the 'pioneers' you mentioned went to the Creator's universe. As I said before, their understanding is not accurate enough, but it is not
It doesn’t mean it’s wrong.”
Chu Guang: "...what do you mean?"
The voice in the darkness continued.
"It depends on your understanding of the Creator, or the ultimate pursuit. The Creator they understand is the origin of all things, and the Creator you understand... I guess it probably refers to the existence of something specific. You are a little bit
If you think about it, you can realize that these two kinds of creators are actually essentially different beings."
When he heard this, Chu Guang finally realized what the problem was.
From the perspective of "pioneer civilization", the "Creator" understood by the spiritualists is the origin of consciousness, and this corresponds to the three major consciousness bodies born in the original universe from the beginning.
They established contact with one or all of the three major consciousness bodies, completed some kind of transaction, or even signed a certain contract, and finally went to the world where they were -
And that is the void outside the cosmic membrane!
However, the Creator as understood by human civilization is not like this.
Since its own development history focuses more on the exploration of matter, human civilization's understanding of the Creator is more concentrated on the level of "things" rather than the subjective "creation".
And these "things" happen to not be created by the so-called three major consciousnesses, but were born in the original universe. They are infinite possibilities created by the collision and entanglement of countless particles!
No wonder...
The messages left by the pioneer civilization have shown them more than once that they are different and cannot work together.
It is true that human civilization and pioneer civilization are not on the same track from the most basic understanding!
Chu Guang was shocked when he realized this.
Good guy...
After working for a long time, the pioneer civilization did not go to another higher universe, but plunged into the void!
That's probably where Dr. Qiu Shiye went - the gap between the universe and the universe!
The pioneer civilization warned these juniors to be careful of things on the wall, but these guys obviously didn't realize that the place they went to was actually on the wall——
Including the Creator as they understand it, he himself is also something on the wall!
All the clues were connected together, and Chu Guang gradually understood everything.
The perforator that I have been working on for a long time is not cutting out the wall and borrowing light from the Creator's universe, but digging into the corners of the void!
And that death giant lizard must be an existence in the void...
"...It seems that you have gradually understood the essence of the 'puncher', and what I want to tell you now is the membrane of the universe, which is what you really pierce."
The voice in the darkness had a hint of smile and continued in a gentle tone.
"Remember the metaphor I made before? I compared the universe to a soap bubble."
"I still remember," Chu Guang said cautiously, "So you mean...the membrane of the universe is the protective layer of the universe?"
The mysterious voice continued.
"It can be understood that this conceptual brane is indeed related to the stability of the universe. But a more accurate explanation is... the brane of the universe is the universe itself. And the three-dimensional world you can see is actually located in the eleventh dimension.
The 'membrane', the projection on the three-dimensional 'interface'."
"Once you understand the concept of projection, you can understand why this universe is filled with a lot of things that you can't see or touch. An eleven-dimensional membrane can be projected on a three-dimensional interface, and naturally it can also be projected on a 0-dimensional interface.
,1,2-dimensional or 4-dimensional, 5-dimensional, etc. interface..."
"Based on this principle, you can think that the universe is composed of countless projections of different dimensions, or you can think that the membrane located at the apex of latitude is the ontology of the universe."
"As for the existence in the void... that is, those things outside the bubble, under normal circumstances, they cannot directly touch the bubble, let alone enter the bubble."
"However, they also have their own methods, such as using psychic abilities, which is what you call the resonance field, to establish contact with the 'consciousness' living in the bubble, to confuse them, or to reach a deal with them, and use the latter
The power projects itself on a certain interface inside the bubble...just like what you did before."
Chu Guang swallowed and asked cautiously.
"That is to say...our actions actually shake the foundation of the universe?"
A hearty laugh came from somewhere, and then he spoke softly.
"Don't think too highly of yourself. At most, you can only carefully pick up a grain of sand from the desert, and you won't be able to change the ecological environment of the entire desert. And those projections that have invaded your world are just as you can see.
That way, it can actually be eliminated. There are even some smart natives who will deliberately trick the beings in the void to come, and then hunt them to obtain some kind of power that you don't understand yet."
Chu Guang asked immediately.
"What is that power?"
"Have you not noticed any changes in your body? But it doesn't matter, you will notice it soon. I don't need to explain this to you. You have your own medical examiner."
The mysterious voice smiled and continued.
"In short, the bubble that surrounds your world is much more powerful than you think, otherwise you would not exist in this universe. Not to mention the distance, there are already many stars in the Milky Way under your feet.
I don’t know how many civilizations have survived it, but until those civilizations rush to the end of their destiny, it is still fine.”
"Not to mention a hole invisible to the naked eye, it is a hole on the scale of the Milky Way. It will gradually heal over time...and your pen was most likely moved to fill the hole."
"So I sincerely suggest that you take it easy at your doorstep, or it would be a good choice to study a massive celestial body a little further away. Gravity is a good thing, and projection in any dimension cannot escape its shackles.
.”
"Of course, if you create a star-level hole, the trouble it will cause is no joke. Maybe a few planets will disappear along the gravity surface."
When he said this, the laughter suddenly took on a hint of loneliness, as if he was speaking with regret.
"But then again, even if the membrane of the universe is stronger than you think, I must admit that the birth of civilization will accelerate the heat death of the universe. Just like the birth of the three major consciousnesses accelerated the decline of the original universe, you
The birth of will also accelerate the heat death of the universe under your feet...even if you can hardly see the changes in your lifespan."
"Ultimately, all newly born universes will be like the original universe, splitting into smaller and smaller bubbles in explosions again and again, or reaching the end of their lives in the eternal increase of entropy, and finally merging into the void."
This cruel fate seems to be similar to the rise and fall of the People's Union.
Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought.
But more than the fate of the universe, what concerns him more is who is this guy?
Why does it know so many things?!
and--
It seems to know the original manager of Vault 404!
It is unbelievable that an advanced being with a perspective that can overlook the entire forest would actually pay attention to the fate of a certain bacteria on a certain leaf...
Thanks to it, he understood many things that he might not even know in his lifetime.
However, the confusion in his heart did not diminish, but instead became more.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Guang asked the question he had wanted to ask from the beginning.
"who are you?"
As if anticipating that he would ask this question, the mysterious voice answered in a gentle tone.
"Of course I also exist in the void...and I have been around you for a long, long time."
"You can call me an observer."()
