Chapter 81: Departure
Are you leaving, are you going to give up?"
Renhuang walked in the tower, and he continued to descend from the floor in the tower.
He didn't know how many floors he had climbed, and since the death of the last member of the team, he was left alone, and in this tower, he was getting stronger and stronger, but he was also getting more and more lonely, and the hope in his heart was getting weaker and weaker.
I don't know when it started, there was a voice in his head, Renhuang didn't know if this voice was real, or only existed in his own fantasies, both were possible, the reason he had always been proud of seemed to be gradually disappearing, Renhuang didn't know if he was crazy, or if he was closer to the truth?
It's not that Renhuang is insane, he has been going up in this tower, and since the last member of the team died, he is still going up alone, which has become his only obsession, or the only hope.
The world in the tower was far more than anyone could have imagined, so the more bizarre it became, he no longer knew how many floors he had climbed, at first he remembered the number, but when the last team member committed suicide due to insanity, he could not remember the count, could it be five hundred, or a thousand, or ten thousand? Or ...... 100,000 floors?
Renhuang can't remember, because the world in this tower is more and more bizarre the higher he goes, and the number of layers of the tower he has experienced, each layer is like the deepest nightmare, or those bizarre and outrageous dreams, there is no logic at all, but it is by no means the pure chaos of the wailer, but this kind of impure chaos cannot be understood by human beings at all, or it cannot be understood by normal human beings.
Renhuang can't understand it either, but he can always find the only possibility from the clues, and then survive these floors and continue to go up, but his teammates can't do it, some teammates die in the monsters and nightmares on these floors, and most of them can't support their spirits, either mutate and deform, or die of mental collapse.
In the end, he was left alone to stagger forward and continue to climb upward.
“...... Renhuang, I can't do it anymore, let me die, death is the real paradise, the real destination, I want to die......"
“...... Ah, it turns out that chaos is the truth, order is just an illusion, we are all wrong, Renhuang, everyone, we are all wrong......"
“...... Renhuang, they're all crazy, I'm fast, this tower ...... It's alive, I understand, it's alive, maybe it's a symbol of my madness, but I can feel it, this tower is alive, and I can't go up, the floor of this tower is infinite, the real infinity, not the limit, it's beyond the numbers, the imagination, the power, the real infinity above everything, we are all wrong, now listen to me carefully, Renhuang, leave us alone, we are all saved, from the spirit to the body, as mortals, even those holy gods of all races, in front of the real infinity, they are just ants and mortals, because we are finite, even if it is the so-called infinite multiverse, as long as it existsIt's also finite in nature, it's just almost infinite finite, so when we look straight at the real infinite, we collapse because we can't accept this transcendent power, we can't, but ...... You can!"
"Renhuang, you are very special, so special that we can't describe your specialness, we all spontaneously gathered around you, listening to your dreams, following your brilliance, watching you achieve miracles, and now, we are still watching you face miracles, in this tower where mortals cannot look directly, you can always find the truth from it, so, listen carefully to my next words...... Leave us alone, we are already irretrievable, from the soul, to the body, to the cognition has been broken, now I can't tell whether I am normal or crazy, or rather, normal and crazy have been confused here, but you are different, leave us alone, with our dreams and obsessions, if you can...... Go beyond the infinite, go to the top of the impossible tower, see the answer and the truth, and see the !! together for all of us."
Renhuang buried the last teammate, the last partner, in the deepest part of a certain floor, and then he stayed quietly in that floor for a long time, watching the changes of the floor, watching the nightmarish world gradually devour the corpse, gradually changing days, gradually changing into a different appearance, he knew that nothing could come back.
Once upon a time, he also believed that everything in this world is understandable, everything can be analyzed and counted in a scientific way, if not, it is just that technology has not reached that step, everything in this world must be explainable.
But now, Renhuang no longer has such an idea, at least not in this tower, the world in this tower cannot be understood with common sense, and it is also not possible to use scientific means, because the so-called science is to understand the unknown, and then study the unknown, and then summarize it into a science, but what if the unknown itself is infinite?
Is it not descriptive and mathematically infinite, but completely illogical and disorderly infinity?
Renhuang knows that before the end of the world, many super-large cosmic planes are called infinite, and the universe there is infinitely expanding, and the entire multiverse can also be called infinite, because every moment a new plane is born, and a new plane is destroyed, in a sense, this is indeed infinite, but this is pseudo-infinity.
Because even if it is viewed in terms of the whole plurality, the total amount of knowledge is limited, because of the existence of basic rules, even if there is a derivative effect of large numbers, in the eyes of any life, including immortal life, it is an infinite amount of combination and evolution, but the total amount must be numerous, even if this number is almost infinite.
Based on this logic, Renhuang came up with the theory that technology can analyze everything, but in this tower, he failed, he had been with his teammates for more than half a hundred thousand years in a chaotic world that was not too dangerous, and the time in that level world was also chaotic, and then he came to a conclusion, a conclusion that almost shattered his three views.
The chaotic nature of the tower is infinite, the infinite beyond the limit.
In fact, in the outside world, the wailer known as the chaotic essence, after the Renhuang team has been exploring the tower for so many years, when they went to such a high floor of the tower, the Renhuang team has already calculated the limit of the chaotic nature of the wailer, which is known as the infinite chaotic changes of the wailer, and its essential number is actually two million nine hundred and ninety-seven thousand one hundred and fifty-one square numbers of two million nine hundred and ninety-seven thousand one hundred and fifty-two.
That is to say, in an infinite period of time, no matter how its chaotic nature changes, the limit of the number of changes in a wail is this, and it is impossible to have more than two million nine hundred and ninety-seven thousand one hundred and fifty-one squares, although this number is already exaggerated, unimaginably large, but this is still limited.
The same is true of the multiverse, it seems that the multiverse is infinite, and the plane is infinite, but the total amount of basic rules and derivative rules is like this, and the changes and combinations produced are also limited, just like an infinite cosmic plane, there are so many elements in the periodic table in it, and the total amount of knowledge in it is only so much, as long as science can continue to climb, one day it can completely master everything in the entire infinite universe.
But in the world of the floors inside the tower, the higher you climb, the more you can clearly detect it, and calculate, no, it is impossible to calculate the limit of chaos and change in the tower, and the infinity that transcends everything has already manifested.
Science can know everything within the finite, given enough time and high enough height, then ...... How can we know infinite knowledge?
New knowledge is being generated all the time, new basic rules, never repeated, and the old rules are constantly being transformed by new rules, resulting in chaos, which is Renhuang's perception of the danger of the world on the floor inside the tower.
In fact, Renhuang felt that the tower was not intended to kill the entrants, but that the infinite personality it exuded made all the entrants uncomfortable, and then died in this infinite change, it did not want to kill anyone, nor did it want to save anyone, the tower just stayed here.
The rest of the Renhuang team all died in this tower, some of them died in accidents, died in the danger of the floor world, but more died because of the infinity of this tower, as a limited life to face the real infinity, their spirit and soul could not withstand this kind of personality gap, and even one of the ten thousand races in the team directly disintegrated because of this, and even the holy path was completely annihilated.
In the end, only Renhuang was left, and he was the only one who was still climbing upward.
This is a very incredible thing, Renhuang himself knows that he has actually begun to collapse many times, his spirit and soul are collapsing, as the floor of the tower rises, this infinity becomes more and more obvious, he is also a finite mortal, when facing this infinite beyond everything, he will also collapse madly because of this.
But he is indeed special, no matter how many times he collapses, he will recover from the collapse, and even if it is the collapse madness, he will instinctively avoid the danger of infinity, and every time he recovers, he can understand some of the knowledge he has gained under this madness.
So Renhuang can go higher and higher in this tower, even if he is the only one left, he still does not give up, because he must keep moving forward, if he stays, or escapes, then the sacrifice of his companions will be meaningless, and as long as he does not stop, the dreams of his companions will always move forward......
But now, he was heading down the floor, and after he had gone crazy countless times, the voice he heard was asking him.
This voice Renhuang didn't know what it was, and there was no result of asking, it seemed that everything he knew and secrets, this voice knew everything, but nothing else had changed except the voice.
So Renhuang has always felt that this voice is probably his own hallucination, no, not an illusion, but a product of his madness, maybe he has gone crazy, has been distorted, but there is no other reference in the upper floor of this tower, so he himself is not aware of it, and this voice is the product of his distortion.
"Well, I'm leaving. Renhuang replied as he walked, this is what he has been used to for thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years, or hundreds of thousands of years, walking alone in this lonely and terrifying world, this voice is like his friend.
“...... Yes, you know that you will never be able to reach the top of the tower, you know that this tower is the embodiment of the infinite beyond everything, the tower is infinite, the top of the tower is also above the infinite, you will never be able to reach it, it is better to go back to your people, with your current knowledge and ability, enough to lead them through the third extinction scale, until the middle of the pale night, you can do it all."
"No, my departure is not an escape. Renhuang said with a resolute face: "There is a new hope under the tower, the original person ...... According to the knowledge I have gained in the tower, the first man is one of the three things necessary to open the place of beginning and end, and I admit that I may not be able to reach the top of the tower in my lifetime on my own, but if I can get to the place of beginning and end, ......"
“...... O the first man, but will he grant you this request......?
Renhuang's expression did not change, and he said, "How can you know if you don't give it a try......? It's hope, too. ”
