I looked at the dark and deep space around me, and there were piles of doubts in my mind.
This is indeed the inside of the Gate of the Abyss, and it is the oldest Gate of the Abyss. The vague and unpleasant feeling in the surrounding environment also proves that I am not in the wrong place. However, this is the place where I have jumped in in my memory.
The Gate of the Abyss is different: in memory, the inside of the Gate of the Abyss is a chaotic space between the perceptible and the imperceptible. All information is in an amorphous state, because the scenes seen through the naked eye are "imperceptible".
Understand the information, so you will feel that the surroundings are extremely dark. In the Gate of the Abyss, the only "scenery" you can see is the chaotic "air masses" that occasionally surge out of the deep darkness, and even those air masses are
They are not real matter or light and shadow, they are indescribable information storms. Your senses are exposed to this information, but cannot understand it, so they appear in the form of chaotic air masses to the naked eye - the above are all normal abyss.
Scene inside the door
However, here, I did not feel the obvious aura of madness, nor did I feel the dizziness caused by being exposed to a large amount of "indescribable" information. There was only ordinary darkness and the feeling of being helpless.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, I observed my surroundings. I didn't see the chaotic "air mass" that is common in the Gate of the Abyss, nor any other strange things. The most incredible thing is that the space here is very stable, and the coordinates are in a position that can be sensed.
state, which means that you are just in a normal hole with no light! This is not like an abyss environment at all!
Oh, yes, there is still a little difference between this place and the normal space: there is that kind of weak abyss reaction all around. If any other ordinary people came in, they would probably go crazy in an instant.
"You feel something different," Father God floated slowly in front, and his voice rang in my mind, "The space here is solid. Apart from the atmosphere, there is almost no chaos and collapse here.
Element"
"There should be a shared space behind all abyss gates," I adapted. Now it is much more convenient to move around here than inside a normal abyss gate. "The fallen apostle has taken advantage of this to do this once before.
They came out from their own territory, then sneaked all the way through the abyss to the empire and then emerged..."
"I know this. You told me before," Father God nodded, "So you judge that there is a connected space 'underneath' all the abyss gates. We have also confirmed this situation through research, and there is a connected space between all abyss gates."
It is also true that the same discontinuous zone is observed in all doors... It is just that the situation here is a little exception. This is the place below the oldest abyss door."
"It looks like a normal space." I looked up at the exit of the abyss. The silver halo left when the Crystal Lake opened can still be seen here, so there is no need to get lost in it. "Even the spatial coordinates here are stable.
of"
"Not only are the spatial coordinates stable," Father God said, pointing to the distance, "The Earth"
Then I saw a flash of light suddenly burst out in the direction of Father God's finger, and then large stretches of endless mountains and dangerous rivers began to emerge out of thin air following the trajectory of the flash. This spectacle lasted for several seconds, almost as long as I breathed.
The vast continent appeared in front of me. However, not long after, this continent began to disintegrate and split. In just six or seven minutes, it was shrouded in various disasters, and then was gradually enveloped by the surrounding darkness.
Devoured
"Although it will be destroyed quickly, Genesis can indeed be used here," Father God explained, "This means that despite the harsh surrounding environment, it still supports the existence of the most basic order and even allows mortal matter to survive here.
You also know for a moment that the normal abyss environment is a "vacuum zone of order". Anything that has order but does not have resistance will be deprived of the very foundation of its own existence in an instant, and then collapse...
But the fact that the land just now was created without any protection means that the most basic order exists here."
"What the hell is going on?" I knew nothing about these sophisticated professional knowledge, but I could understand what Father God was saying about something sensational: the Gate of the Abyss actually allowed an order to appear from scratch.
Something that absolutely goes against the nature of the abyss
"I don't know either," Father God shrugged, "and there are many strange things. We also made a deep dive here, and then went down all the way to look for discontinuous zones. Guess what we found?
"
I looked at Father God’s half-smiling Nie, and boldly made a guess: “The wrench that fell when you were building a house?”
Father God: "...I appreciate your optimism, but can we be more serious?"
I spread my hands and said, "Aren't you making things difficult for me? I don't know what you found down here."
"The core of the deep dive - that is, the deep dive ship made by the Gods - moved all the way to the place where the discontinuity zone should appear, but nothing was found." Father God looked down at the endless darkness below, as if to see
The place where the deep-diving ship arrived that day, "then we let the equipment continue to dive, and the result...in the end, the deep-diving core hit the end of the space, and then emerged from near the door of the abyss."
I was stunned for a moment before I realized: "You mean this is not only a space, but also a closed one?"
"After reaching the boundary of space, it will return to the exit point, which means that the space is closed and continuous. We then tested it many times and the return path was exactly the same every time, proving that not only is this place closed and continuous, but it also has a stable structure. But because here
It’s still an abyss environment, so we can’t draw the spatial structure here with ordinary methods.” Father God sat down cross-legged in mid-air, and his calm and unhurried voice echoed in my mind, “So the children used
Using some indirect methods, such as continuously placing detectors in all directions, we roughly clarified the structure here and confirmed that this is a huge cavity similar to a long and narrow cave. The cave is symmetrical everywhere, extending from one point to infinity. You will
Encountering the boundary of the closed space, and then accurately returning to the origin... just like the second type of closed order universe."
"Is this still an abyss?" Like Father God, I sat cross-legged in mid-air, my face full of confusion.
"Of course it's the abyss," Father God chuckled, "Look at the environment here. If you bring equipment, you can also test various things here. You will find that chaos and inconsistency are still the main theme of this place, but other than that
Besides, it has been structurally solidified."
I noticed that the other party mentioned a word: solidification
Chaos is solidified, change is solidified, destruction and chaos are solidified, no matter what they are, when they solidify, they will no longer conform to the consistent nature of the abyss, because the abyss is ultimately a thing that promotes "change".
To push all things to destruction, it does not allow anything to survive in its current state. It will continue to push everything that can be infected to destruction until the target is not even ashes left. This is the nature of the abyss
But what if the abyss itself solidifies?
"Do you have any guesses?" Father God suddenly looked up at me, "The children tried to use theoretical research to explain this phenomenon, but they encountered a lot of trouble. Maybe our intuitions will be closer than their theories.
truth"
"The talent of void creatures," I scratched my chin, "but for a while I really can't think of anything to explain it... According to this, this abyss gate is different from other abyss gates.
Below is a space with basic order, with boundaries, symmetry, closure, indirect measurability, no fixed divisions, and no discontinuous zones... Let me think about it."
Father God smiled and waited patiently for when I would get a clue. I pondered for a long time, thinking about how to stimulate my "intuition", and then I patted my head: If intuition can be stimulated on its own initiative,
Is that still a passive effect?
Not everyone is like Tavel. Even schizophrenia can be practiced as an active skill...
So I stopped fussing with my few brain cells and directly said a word I had vaguely thought of: "I feel like this place is like a ruin, or something burned out... Anyway, it was once very active, and now
something that cools down"
"I feel the same way. We both have the same intuition, so it seems that the truth is almost the same." Father God laughed, "I said, this is like a 'solidified' place. If we regard the normal active abyss as
It's magma that flows endlessly, so this place is a bit like a cooled magma rock. Chaos solidifies into order, and the first thing to be ordered is space. If this is really the case, then this place may not be completely 'cooled' yet. As time goes by,
, it should continue to 'solidify' until the chaotic tendency here completely disappears and turns into a mediocre initial space. However, this may take quite a long time, and I may not have the patience to follow up and observe."
I suddenly remembered a question that I wanted to ask before but had no chance to ask: "Speaking of which, this Gate of the Abyss has been in the God Realm for so many years. Is this the first time you know what is inside? You have never come down before?"
"I came down a long, long time ago," Father God replied, making this Lord even say the words "a long time ago". Those years must have been insanely long. "I remember that time when the world of gods was just beginning.
It has not been established for too long, and I have only a limited understanding of the Gate of the Abyss. I came down once at that time."
"Didn't you notice that the environment here was weird at that time?"
"Do you think I always look for the gate of the abyss and jump down when I have nothing to do?" Father God gave me a strange look, "After I came down, I felt that it was too dark in here and the feeling was not good, so
Although I have seen other forms of abyss gates after not staying here for a long time, I never thought about it too much. You know, void creatures are a race full of inertia. Void creatures will not take the initiative to do troublesome things unless necessary -
—How could I have the time to analyze the properties of each abyss gate one by one? After that, I created the Protoss. However, the main goal of the Protoss is to destroy the abyss. The children have also conducted several deep-diving activities before to check what is under the gate.
What, but they found that this would not help completely eliminate the abyss, so they did not go deeper... As my derivative power, the gods also partially inherited the inert side of the void creatures. This should be regarded as the only shortcoming of the stars of the gods.
Well, if I hadn’t heard about the discontinuous belt from you not long ago, I really wouldn’t have noticed this door here again: I almost forgot about it.”
I quite agree with what Father God said, especially the part about laziness: "Indeed, procrastination alone is almost at the end of everyone's life. But why can Apostle Xiang under my name be able to study it all at once?"
Come down and discover the discontinuity zone earlier than you did?"
Father God looked at me with an even weirder expression: "...You didn't create the Xiang Apostles, and they are not lazy - have you forgotten that this empire of yours was actually picked up?"
I slapped my forehead: "Oh, that's right. I've been an emperor for so long that I almost forgot about it."
Father God and I stayed in this dark and empty space for a while to understand more of the weird properties of this place. This space is said to be a closed space, but strictly speaking it is actually semi-closed. The Gate of the Abyss is a space between reality and reality.
In the passage between them, when the lake reflection in the crystal lake fades, a hole opens in this space. However, since a two-dimensional plane like the Gate of the Abyss does not follow the normal spatial laws, this opening does not affect the space itself.
Closure: If you don’t master special skills or possess special powers, things that fall into this space will never be able to escape.
"How do you think this space was formed?" I knew that Father God definitely didn't bring me here to show off that he just discovered that he had an extra-large basement. He must have discovered something else, so I asked curiously.
"I have a guess," Father God nodded, "The Abyss of Inertia... I wonder how much you know about this concept?"
I didn't expect Father God to mention this word, and I was a little stunned. Then I nodded vigorously: "I know, I know, of course I know this - I have a bunch of scientists over there who are studying this, and I don't have a clue yet."
Father God nodded and said unhurriedly: "The Abyss of Inertia is also a type of Zhengzhou Abyss. It is also destructive and can cause the collapse of the world and various disasters. However, the infectivity of the Abyss of Inertia is weak and can usually only be infected.
Once, there will be no second jump. The inert abyss is easier to suppress or even reverse than the active abyss. The transformation rate of individuals infected by the inert abyss is extremely slow. These are the rules we have summarized, and they should be similar to what you have summarized.
"
I nodded: "Well, we have been studying this for a long time. As you know, Shandora was infected by the abyss once before, but she later recovered completely by her own ability. This thing is very unusual, so
Some scientists over there speculated that Shandora encountered the Inert Abyss at that time. The dividing line between the Inert Abyss and the ordinary abyss is quite blurry, and 'infectiousness' is still an unquantifiable indicator, so Shandora's incident has always been
No conclusion yet”
"In any case, the inert abyss is a real concept," Father God looked at the darkness around him, "If it were extended to the extreme, would it be such a gate to the abyss?"
I was shocked, I really hadn’t thought about this just now!
However, this statement seemed to make sense at first, but I always felt that something was not right. I thought for a long time before hesitatingly said: "The Abyss of Inertia does seem to be more 'docile', but this one in your basement..."
Doesn’t it look too weird? It can no longer be described as docile.”
"So I said 'expand to the extreme'," Father God spread out his hands and pointed around, "This unusual place is slightly similar to the Inert Abyss: safe, gentle, and tends to be stable. However, the Inert Abyss is only infectious.
has been reduced, but the destructive power is still the same, and the abyss phenomenon in this space is even deeper in terms of 'inertia'. In the past, we always regarded the abyss as an eternal thing, and believed that all abyss gates would not naturally degrade, but now
You also know that the abyss actually changes from time to time. Since it changes overall, why does it not mutate locally? The inert abyss may be an intermediate state, and some abyss gates are degraded for unknown reasons.
The destructiveness and contagiousness decrease, which creates an inert abyss. If it continues to develop like this, what may be generated may be the abyss gate at the base of the divine world. If the Zhengchou Abyss is regarded as magma, this is probably a cooling
The process of solidification”
Father God's conjecture is very interesting: the Zhengchou Abyss will suddenly become stable for unknown reasons (Father God calls this 'downgrade'), and then the inert abyss will appear. The one Sandora encountered back then was suspected to be
This kind of thing, then the inert abyss continues to degrade, cool and solidify, and disorder tends to order, forming the gate of the inert abyss. This process continues to develop and deepen, and it becomes the basement of God the Father's house. The whole process sounds unconstrained.
Unbelievable - it really challenges my three views anyway.
"Theoretically, there will be no 'downgrade' phenomenon in the abyss," Father God also admitted this, "but now there is indeed a downgraded abyss, so we should not worry about whether it is logical or not, but should admit this fact.
, and on this basis, I have to find a way to find out its cause. I have an intuition. If the connection between the Inert Abyss and this weird place we are staying in can be explained, maybe we can reveal the secret of the evolution of the abyss and further understand it.
What’s the matter with ‘discontinuous zone’?”
"Then have you figured out how the Abyss of Inertia came about?" I looked up at Father God.
The other party shook his head in disbelief: "This project has just started. I was thinking that if you are free, you can also mobilize your own scholars to help with research. We can set up a joint project to figure out the relationship between the Inert Abyss and the foundation of the God Realm.
Contact us, the samples are here anyway, you can just send someone over to study them, I will take care of the food and accommodation..."
"Let's get over this busy period first. The research center is very busy just with the deep dive project." I nodded cheerfully, but at this moment, an emergency message suddenly broke into my mind:
"Arjun, it's me, Sandora, there's something going on with the fallen apostle!"rs
