On the outer side of the universe, between the Overworld and the secondary derivative world.

In this place where nothing should have existed, I don't know who forced it to carve out a "conceptual" foothold.

"Nine has it. ”

"Then start parsing the coordinates, and you can do it independently. ”

"There's some trouble - the world that used to be Zero should have been annihilated in the void immediately after being abandoned by Zero. Although it can continue to exist due to some qualities, it is no longer possible to maintain the original complete cosmic operating system. ”

What will become of the denied world?

In any case, as long as it exists and can be observed, its relative space-time coordinates in all dimensions will not change.

"Anchoring is complete, do you want to go now?"

"Right now!"

The longer it drags on, the more variables can arise.

It is easier to break through the dimensions in such a gap than in the world.

With their disappearance, the concept of "cracks" that still exist here can no longer be maintained.

All traces of them have been erased by the self-correction of time and space.

When the two of them—perhaps not called humans—reappeared, they had come to a cold and silent space.

The flow of energy is almost completely stagnant, and the movement of matter is imperceptible at extremely low temperatures.

It seems that the form of the universe is still preserved, but will there be anything "alive" left in such a ruined world?

Thirteen felt himself almost immobile in such a frozen space. He decisively abandoned the physical form and transformed it into a concrete projection of information.

"Hey, Ten, are you okay?"

Thirteen had to worry about this, because when he arrived, his companion was as silent as if he were dead.

If it's just because sound can't be transmitted in such an environment, other ways to convey information can always be used!

Anyway, he didn't believe that this co-owner would hang up so easily.

It is difficult to define the ontological form of Ten as a type of life, if anything...... It's light.

He is the embodiment of the concept of "the first rays of light", and wherever it appears, it will take on a corresponding posture.

So for the most part, 10 is the afterglow of the Big Bang – that is, the entire universe.

Even among the odd isotopes, the Ten is very unusual.

Because he was the universe himself, he did not experience the difficulty of breaking through the boundaries of the universe to reach another dimension like other isotopes.

Number Ten has been scurrying around in the Endless Dimension for a long time, and he hasn't died for so long, is it possible that he will be led by a universe that used to be the Overworld and is now on the verge of collapse?

Oh, it's a possibility!

The main world is the world where Xing Li's main body is located - this definition is not subject to any questioning.

But apart from Xing Li, isn't there anything more peculiar? The world in which Xing Li was born would be a normal world?

Thirteen wiped his face in his heart - after all, he didn't even have a physical body now, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to, so he gave up thinking more and began to explore the universe.

The purpose of their coming here is to find more information, whether the tenth is dead or not.

There are many isotopes who have died accidentally or "accidentally" for various reasons, and the number ten is not the first and will not be the last.

It's a dark world, and there may have been countless burning stars, but that's a thing of the past.

Now all their energy is scattered into time and space, becoming a solidified oppression.

This is exactly where every universe is going.

- All life will be gone, all stars will be extinguished.

Thirteen could see that the world was approaching its final heat death. However, there is an external factor that supports it to maintain the current fragile equilibrium, which is only a thin line away from the thermal equilibrium of the whole universe, and this line gap is extremely tenacious and cannot be crossed.

That "external cause" is very suspicious.

Now the question is - how to find it?

There is no matter or energy in this world that can still maintain an orderly state, and it is certainly not possible to start with these superficial things.

The deeper information extracted was too disorganized, and there were clear signs of being "formatted" multiple times.

Obviously, before Xing Li killed it, the world had been abused many times, and it was really tenacious that it was not dead now.

While Thirteen was hesitating to take some extraordinary measures, something changed in the dead silence of the space.

Changes visible to the naked eye.

"Light?" he immediately thought of Number Ten, who was still on the missing list.

At first, it was just a point of light, abruptly lying in the darkness, and for a moment Thirteen couldn't even tell if it was a physical light or a conceptual "light".

And so it happened.

The stagnant space and energy seemed to be all pulled by that light, gathering an invisible storm in the darkness.

The universe is collapsing.

At speeds that exceed the speed of light I don't know how many times.

Now there is no upper limit to the "speed of light" here, and all the characteristics and rules of the conventional universe have been completely broken.

That light is Ten, what does he want to do?

Thirteen attempted to send a message from outer space, but was lost in the ocean and received no response.

This universe on the verge of heat death ushered in a long-lost excitement, with mass and energy mixed together, collisions and reactions happening all the time, and forcibly coalescing under a stronger gravitational pull.

Eventually, even space-time began to shrink towards the light source.

Feeling the majestic energy flowing through him, Thirteen waited quietly for what would happen next.

He figured he had guessed what Ten was doing.

"I didn't expect you to be Maxwell's goblin. ”

Speaking of which, this can also be interpreted as "light" - the light that represents the rebirth of the universe.

The primordial singularity took shape before his eyes, and all matter and energy became an infinitesimal point, embedded in the fragile dimensional membrane.

"Why don't you continue?" Thirteen thought it would be an explosion, and it wouldn't take long.

Ten replied honestly, "I can't guarantee what the universe will be like after the explosion. ”

Who knows how much the universe will deviate from the original?

"Then I'll do it. ”

"Completely restore the old world?"

"Wait until I sort out the data I just downloaded...... No problem, it can be done. ”

Then, the first light between heaven and earth appeared, it came from the first Big Bang, and the afterglow of this light lasted for tens of billions of years, illuminating the rise and fall of countless civilizations.

Until - a creature that would later call itself "human" appeared on some inconspicuous blue planet.

"Wait! I don't think something is right!" Thirteen pressed the pause button on the universe the moment the humans appeared, looking at the human civilization on Earth that was still in a primitive society.

Ten stared at the young planet, "What's wrong?"

"I can't tell......" Thirteen thought for a moment, and then ran to look through the development strategies left over from the previous generation of universes - the information that even the world restart could not erase.

Both Ten and he know the entire universe, and there are many civilizations besides humans.

With the current state of human development, can we really go to the top of the universe?

Perhaps, we should not use the natural evolutionary system of organisms to make deductions. Ten speculated.

"Didn't humans evolve naturally?"

"That's just secondary humans, and it's the perception of secondary humans themselves - I don't think that's how nascent humans were born. ”

Thirteen was very dry, "Okay, do, tear it down and start over." ”

"Reboot the universe?"

"No, it's enough to go back a little time. ”
