"Now, you should trust me."

Ali looked at Chu Tianjiang and knew the meaning of Chu Tianjiang's words.

"Of course, if it's inconvenient, just don't say it."

"It's not inconvenient, it's just ......," Ali sighed and said, "Even if I tell you about the things in the four-dimensional universe, you may not be able to understand them. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled and waited for Ali to continue.

"As I said before, in the four-dimensional universe, the outcome is predestined, and we can't change the result, so we can only change ourselves as much as possible to adapt to the result." Ali paused slightly, then said, "Actually, we expected the result before the dimensionality reduction began. ”

"What result?"

"The Birth of a New Order."

"This ......"

It is also true that after the dimensionality reduction is completed, a new order will inevitably emerge. The problem is that all we can expect is the birth of a new order, but we can't predict the intrinsic nature of the new order, that is, what kind of order will be produced after the dimensionality reduction is completed. ”

"Because the new order is intrinsic to the three-dimensional universe."

"That's right, so we don't know the outcome."

"And then?"

"If you know us well enough, you should know the truth, and for us, the most terrifying thing is the unpredictable outcome."

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, and then he nodded, indicating that he understood what Ali meant.

"The fear of the unknown has forced some of us to find ways to intervene in the outcome, or to take the outcome into our own hands."

"Vested interests?"

Ali was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "You're right, it's those of us who hold power and have a high status. ”

"And then?"

Obviously, due to the time constraints in the three-dimensional space, in the four-dimensional space, we cannot intervene in the logical relationship in the three-dimensional space. If you want to affect the outcome, the only way is to come to the three-dimensional space and adopt the means of the three-dimensional space. ”

"This ......"

"It is precisely because of this that dimensionality reduction is carried out in stages."

Chu Tianjiang immediately tightened his brows, the meaning of Ali's words was extraordinary.

"Obviously, you also recognize that that's the key."

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "Can you tell me in detail?" ”

"I don't know exactly what the situation is, but among those who want to maintain the status quo, some of them came to the three-dimensional space at the beginning of dimensional reduction."

"Part of it?"

"There must be a part left behind to promote the full development and completion of the dimensionality reduction work."

Chu Tianjiang nodded, waiting for Ali to continue.

"Because when creating a micro-universe, we only need to abide by the most basic principles, such as the limitation of speed, the unidirectionality of time, etc., but each creator will try to protect the micro-universe they created, so before the dimensionality reduction is completed, that is, before the formation of the three-dimensional universe, the micro-universe created by different creators cannot be connected, so any micro-universe is only open to the creator."

"To put it bluntly, it's impossible for you to intervene in the micro-universe created by other people?"

Ali nodded and said, "The problem is that we can dare to make the micro-universe we created the most ideal micro-universe. ”

"Ideal?"

"To be precise, it is as much as possible to meet the conditions of our dimensionality reduction."

"The problem is, you didn't."

"I did, but my abilities were limited and I couldn't be as thorough as those in power, and that's why I had to choose humans."

"This ......"

"In the four-dimensional universe, power is the understanding of science and technology."

"So you have very limited technology?"

Ali sighed and said, "There is no doubt that invaders are better suited to be carriers of my intelligence than humans, but they are even more difficult to control. If I master enough technology, I will be able to create a huge micro-universe and obtain a highly developed intelligent civilization. ”

"Like Becker and Beyman?"

Ali nodded and said, "As far as I know, Becker and Behman are among the first members of the Dimension Reduction. Before I reduced the dimension, they had been in the three-dimensional space for a long time, and even personally guided the development of the intelligent civilization they created. ”

"Cheating."

"What?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled coldly and said, "Obviously, there is no fairness at all. ”

"In fact, 'fairness' is just your human concept. For us, the position of each person directly determines the rights they enjoy, and there is no concept of 'fairness' at all. In fact, even in the micro-universe, the vast majority of intelligent civilizations do not have this concept. ”

"So, it's the same for this battle?"

Ali bit his lip, then nodded, and said, "Although I don't know that the first person to encounter in the second round is Beiman, I know that the winner of the second round should be Ba." ”

"The result that has been decided a long time ago?"

"Suffice it to say, we weren't very lucky, we ran into Behman and Ba in the first round. Of course, you change the outcome. ”

"In the three-dimensional universe, the outcome is always uncertain."

Ali nodded, but didn't say anything more.

"Now, I'm more interested in knowing what happens if the outcome changes."

"I don't know what to say." Ali sighed and said, "In a sense, this is the first time we've encountered such a situation, and maybe no one knows what to do. ”

"Really?"

"Before that, the results had never changed."

"Well, anyway, the winner of the second round can't be Ba. Of course, it doesn't have to be me. Everyone must face the unknown outcome, which is that after the first rendezvous, the remaining 512 participants have the potential to be the last winner. ”

"That's the big problem."

"What do you mean?"

"It will have an impact on the outcome of the knockout rounds within the family."

"Does it matter?"

"Of course, very important."

"Really?"

"Don't forget, the intra-clan elimination tournament is just the beginning, and the winner will represent the clan in the next battle, and the outcome of the battle will determine the status of the clan in the entire population, which will affect every member of the clan. Obviously, no one wants to face an unknown outcome. ”

"So, I've become a thorn in everyone's side and a thorn in the flesh?"

Ali was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "It's not you, it's me."

Chu Tianjiang laughed. "Almost, we're partners."

"You can still laugh."

"Should I cry?"

Ali sighed and said, "At least there's no reason to be happy. ”

"For what?"

"Perhaps, I will gradually agree with your views and adapt to this new world, but that does not mean that all of our members are like me. In fact, I am the one who seeks change, and the many more members, especially those who have great power, do not want change. ”

"In other words, they will do their best to maintain the original result?"

Ali nodded and said, "To put it bluntly, even if you become the winner of the second round and participate in the next stage of the knockout, you may not be able to change the result again. In order to deal with this uncertainty factor of yours, the rest of the family will only try to cause you trouble. ”

"Is there anything to worry about?"

"Isn't there a need to worry?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Okay, I probably understand what you mean. Now, let's sort these things out again. ”

"What do you mean?"

"First of all, you're aiming low, right? Just hope I win the first round and I've already won, so you've reached the bare bare of things. ”

Ali was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"In other words, even if I lose in the next round, you don't have anything to lose, right?"

Ali nodded again, indicating that this was what he meant.

"Since there are no more losses, what are you worried about?"

"This ......"

"To put it bluntly, every time I win, I get extra gains, right?"

"Yes, it was unexpected."

"So, let's make a hypothesis. If I can laugh the hardest, then am I going to defeat the most powerful beings in your family one by one? ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, I'm going to have to face them sooner or later, so what's the matter when to face them?"

Ali looked at Chu Tianjiang in surprise, and after a while, he laughed.

"Looks like you've got what I mean."

"To be honest, I haven't understood you." Ali let out a long sigh and said, "You have a strange idea, and you have a very unique way of thinking. It seems that what is in the eyes of anyone is not a problem in front of you. Still, if you think so, it couldn't be better. ”

"As I said, it's better to have hope than no hope. Even if the future is dark, we must not stand still, let alone give up the motivation to move forward because we are afraid of an unpredictable outcome. In many cases, even if we have despaired, we have to find a reason for ourselves to keep going. ”

"Self-deception?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Obviously, you have a deeper understanding of our culture. Even so, it's better than outright despair. ”

"That's what humans are."

"I'm human, and you look like you're a human right now."

Ali was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. "I didn't expect that I would need you to enlighten me. Of course, I have to thank you, at least you gave me hope. ”

"Hope exists, but you just keep turning a blind eye."

Ali nodded thoughtfully, and Chu Tianjiang didn't say anything more.
