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" 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.
The 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.
I felt a little uncomfortable. I looked around, but 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 at
The state of being able to perceive means that what you are in is just a normal hole with no light! This is not like an abyss environment at all!
Oh, yes, there is 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 and found that it was 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 set out from their own territory, and 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 the doors...but the situation here is a bit 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 I don't have to worry about getting lost in it. "Even the spatial coordinates here are stable.
of."
"Not only are the spatial coordinates stable," Father God said, pointing into the distance, "The Earth."
Then I saw a flash of light suddenly erupting 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 covered 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.
For a moment. You also know 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 foundation of its own existence in an instant, and then collapse in the blink of an eye...
…But the land just now was created without any protection. Its birth 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 orderly entity to appear from scratch.
This is absolutely 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 look, and made a bold guess: “Did you lose the wrench 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 will find 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 found nothing." 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 starting point, which means that the space is closed and continuous. We then tested it many times and the return path was exactly the same each time, proving that not only is this place closed and continuous, but it also has a stable structure. However, because it is still
It is the abyss environment that makes it impossible to 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 some
Indirect methods, such as continuously placing detectors in all directions, have 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 encounter
Go to the boundary of the closed space, and then return to the starting point exactly...just like the second type of closed order universe."
"Is this still an abyss?" Like Father God, I sat down 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 the various constants here. You will find that chaos and inconsistency are still the main themes of this place, but other than that
Besides, it is 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".
It wants to push all things to destruction. It does not allow anything to stay 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 ran into 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 constants, and no discontinuity... Let me think about it."
Father God smiled and waited patiently for me to 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 actively stimulated,
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 is 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. Over time,
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 and the feeling was not good, so
I didn’t stay here for long. Although I have seen other forms of abyss gates since then, 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 cause trouble unless necessary.
Thing - I don't have time to analyze the properties of each abyss gate one by one. After that, I created the Protoss, but the main goal of the Protoss is to destroy the abyss. The children have also conducted several activities similar to deep diving to inspect the gates.
What is there exactly below, but they found that it would not help to 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 one among the stars in the star field.
It’s a shortcoming. 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 everyone's late stage. But why is it that the Xiling Apostle under my name can be stubborn?
After extensive research, the discontinuous zone was discovered earlier than you did?"
Father God looked at me with an even weirder expression: "...You did not create the Xiling 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
The passage between reality and reality. When the reflection of the lake surface 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.
Closeness: If you don't master special skills or have special powers, things that fall into this space will never be able to escape.
"How do you think this space was formed?" I knew Father God definitely didn't bring me here just 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 that Father God would 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, but they don't have a clue yet."
Father God nodded and said unhurriedly: "The Inert Abyss is also a type of normal abyss. It is also destructive and can cause the collapse of the world and various disasters. However, the Inert Abyss is less contagious and can usually only be infected once.
, there will be no secondary jump. The inert abyss is easier to suppress or even reverse than the active abyss. The transformation speed 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. You also know that Sandora was infected by the abyss once before, but she later recovered completely by her own ability. This is very unusual.
So some scientists over there speculated that what Shandora encountered was the Inert Abyss. 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
There has never been a conclusion.”
"Anyway, the inert abyss is a concept that does exist," Father God looked at the darkness around him, "If it develops to the extreme, will it be such a gate to the abyss?"
I was stunned, 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..."
It looks too weird, right? It can no longer be described as docile."
"So I said 'development 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. It's just that 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 deeper in terms of 'inertia'. In the past, we have always regarded the abyss as an eternal thing, and believed that all abyss gates will not naturally degrade.
But now you also know that the abyss actually changes from time to time. Since it changes overall, why doesn't it change locally? The inert abyss may be an intermediate state, and some abyss gates are created for unknown reasons.
Degradation, destructiveness and infectivity decrease, which creates an inert abyss. If it continues to develop like this, what will be generated may be the abyss gate at the base of the God Realm. If a normal abyss is regarded as magma, this is probably
A process of cooling and solidification.”
Father God's conjecture is very interesting: the normal abyss will suddenly become stable for unknown reasons (Father God calls this 'downgrade'), and then the inert abyss will be produced. Sandora encountered something like this.
Plant something, and then the inert abyss continues to degrade, cool, and solidify, and disorder tends to order, forming the door 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 fantastic.
, incredible - anyway, it quite challenges my three views.
"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, we need to find out the cause. I have an intuition that if we can explain the connection between the inert abyss and this weird place we are staying in, we might be able to reveal the secret of the evolution of the abyss and further explore it.
Understand what the 'discontinuity zone' is."
"Then have you figured out how the Abyss of Inertia came about?" I raised my head and glanced at Father God.
The other party shook his head in disbelief: "No way, this project has just started, and I was thinking that if you are free, you can also mobilize your own scholars to help with research. We can start a joint project to explore the Inert Abyss and the God Realm together.
As for the basic connection, the samples are here anyway, you can just send people 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 plan." 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
