When Cheng Shi was surprised by all the incredible circumstances around him, the voice sounded faintly again: "Young man, how do you feel?" At the beginning of the universe, there was no time, no space, everything was nothing. ”

Cheng Shi was thinking that he might be in a meaningless cosmic space just now, but he didn't expect it to be true: "There is no time and space? Does that mean there aren't any cosmic rules? A completely blank universe that was like this when the universe was founded? ”

"Yes, it is the complex rules that we have given to the universe that will give birth to endless life." The voice said proudly.

"So from your point of view, how do you understand the universe and life?" Cheng Shi asked calmly.

The voice paused for a moment, then said, "If you put it in your language, the beginning of the universe was a blank sheet of paper, and we scribbled, folded, and cut the blank paper, and it will become whatever we want it to become. If you had a paper ball in your hand, would you care about the fine microorganisms on it? ”

After thinking about it, Cheng Shi felt that there were obvious loopholes in the other party's language logic: "No, your analogy is inappropriate. As an ordinary intelligent creature in the universe, as you said, I am a fine microorganism on the paper ball that you made with your own hands, but I can communicate normally with you who created the universe, isn't this kind of life worthy of your respect? ”

After a few moments, the other person replied, "First of all, I want to say, you are very sensible. But this is also a different perspective, and the understanding of the same issue is also different. We want to break through the barriers of our world, and we want to find the origin of life and the essence of space. We put a lot of effort into it, but all of it came to nothing.

"Eventually we created your universe by studying souls. In the beginning, we set the rules of the universe as simple as giving birth to life and letting it develop, but they soon ran into similar problems as we did. This shocked us, so we continued to observe them, and we were even more shocked to see that no matter how hard they tried, they were never able to break through our unguarded barrier and come out of their universe.

"Later, in order to support our research, we made this experiment into a game, so that more ordinary people in our world joined this experiment, and the result was unexpectedly a huge commercial return. So much so that many people became obsessed with living in the universe we created.

However, there will always be loopholes in man-made things, and often tinkering with them will make the rules of the universe more and more complicated. At this point, do you think there is any need for the two of us to talk about respect? We didn't create you directly, but we only created the universe and the rules, and you are just derivatives of the rules of the universe. Shouldn't we be respected for our willingness to erase the extremely complex rules of the universe that we have worked so hard to devise and then re-study them. ”

Cheng Shi was silent, hearing now, he even felt that there was a certain amount of truth in the other party's words.

"So what you're doing now is to smooth out the rules of our universe?" Cheng Shi thought about it and asked again.

"Yes, the Empire is stubborn, and it is the obsession with money that hinders our scientific progress." The voice replied unabashedly, "The greatest sorrow of scientists is that advanced science and technology are not applied and promoted, because it will make their hard work not respected." Aren't your values the same? ”

Cheng Shi thought for a while, and felt that the other party's logic was seriously misleading, so he said unceremoniously: "No, it's not like this, the bottom line of our science will respect lives similar to us." Only a mad scientist will break through everything without a bottom line and destroy everything without any scruples. No wonder the administrators of our main universe say that you are half-, and I don't think it's true at all, because you are the kind of crazy and paranoid scientists, and your actions have tarnished the sanctity of science. ”

"Hahahaha...... the other party sneered, "we are crazy and paranoid enough, but it is precisely because of this that our research has made a breakthrough." ”

When Cheng Shi heard this, he seemed to have an epiphany, so he said indignantly: "You have no ability to erase the rules and order of the main universe, so you don't hesitate to launch an all-universe war to force the empire to do it yourself, you are crazy." ”

"You're smart, but you can't change anything." There was a hint of arguity in the tone of this voice, "By the way, your previous actions did cause us some minor troubles, but you didn't change anything in the end. It's a joke that the manager of the main universe is a half-ass, and he actually pressed all the treasures on you. ”

Cheng Shi snorted lightly, and then asked the question he wanted to know the answer to the most: "Hmph!" If you know I'm causing trouble for you, why don't you kill me? And why are you telling me this? ”

The other party smiled faintly: "This is a good question, we do have the ability to kill you at any time." But I made a bet with Hanks, and he blocked me and I couldn't convince you. I was on the verge of winning just now, but I didn't expect you to be as stubborn as the stewards of the main universe. I'll admit, I lost the bet. But whether the bet is won or lost, it has nothing to do with the final outcome of the main universe. ”

Cheng Shi was taken aback: "So you are now Uriya, I want to know what will happen if you win the bet?" ”

Uria laughed: "If I win the bet, Hanks will fully support me." But it doesn't matter if he loses, that is, he won't continue to study with me, and I can do everything myself. In addition, to tell you a little bit of the past, he came up with the idea of a modular universe, and I was just cooperating with his work at the beginning. But he was too conservative, and I insisted on putting the modular universe in the Imperial universe for testing. In a way, I'm just the administrator of order in the modular universe, and Hanks is the creator of order. ”

Many mysteries in Cheng Shi's heart seemed to have been solved at this moment. So he asked, "Is it interesting for you to play such a game?" Am I just fun to you? ”

Uria sighed lightly, and then said, "Of course not, Hanks has hidden a very important research result in your soul, and I am going to extract it, which will help me make breakthroughs in many research projects." ”

Cheng Shi sighed in surprise: "It turns out that this is the reason why you have been reluctant to kill me, can you let me see the world inside your universe mothership before I die?" ”

"Yes." Uria replied cheerfully.

As Uria's voice fell, the world around Cheng Shi changed dramatically in an instant, and countless planets suddenly appeared in front of him, all neatly arranged, like the storage array of a large data center on the earth.

Cheng Shi didn't know how many planets there were here, anyway, when he looked at it from front to back, left and right, it was boundless, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

In addition, Cheng Shi also saw that some planets were full of mechas, some planets were full of spaceships, and some planets were full of robot soldiers. But they were all petrified, motionless, and dead on every planet.

And what made Cheng Shi feel the most incredible was that he didn't know where the light in this universe came from, because he couldn't feel the existence of light at all, but he could see everything, and he could see it clearly.

Not only that, but the surface of all objects, except for the difference in its own color, he could not see the change in light and darkness at all. It seems that all the surfaces of objects in this cosmic space are covered by light in an absolutely uniform form, without any obstruction, and there are no dead ends.

It is obviously a three-dimensional space, and it can be illuminated by an absolutely parallel and absolutely stable beam of light like a black-and-white painting printed on paper.

"Could it be that the rules of the universe here have been erased by Uria? Space here has become meaningless, time has stopped, gravitational force does not exist here, so the planets can be arranged in arrays without affecting each other. Because there is no time, everything here is completely still at the moment when the rules of time and the universe are lost?

"Isn't that right? How would I see those planets without the reflection of light? If there is light in this world, then there should be time, because light itself means time. Cheng Shi thought secretly.

"No, time should not exist, how could I have no idea if the words that Uria had just said to me were before this moment, or after this moment? Is there no such thing as this moment? So, everything here has happened, but nothing has actually happened. What's going on? Not only has the time of the material world disappeared, but even the time of consciousness has disappeared, and everything that has happened and what is happening is actually at the same time, making it impossible to distinguish the order? Memories don't decay over time? Cheng Shi continued to think.

"How? This universe has been transformed into a meaningless universe by me, but the material form still exists, so as long as I drag the timeline, I can convert 100% of the matter here into what I want, such as battleships, such as mechas, such as biological corps, such as robot soldiers, I can have whatever I want, and I don't need any intelligent beings to help me produce it. Uria said triumphantly.

"Isn't there no time here? How could there be such a thing as a timeline? Cheng Shi asked puzzled.

Uria smiled smugly, then explained, "Since the timeline is not time, I turned every spatial image on the timeline into a meaningless space, and then put all the technological creations in this spatial image into the main universe. And within the order of the main universe, they will immediately become civilization cleaning teams, starting from the high civilization and cleaning up to the last planet in the main universe where there are advanced intelligent beings. ”

Cheng Shi finally understood everything, and he was amazed that Uria could press the pause button for a universe and directly transform 100% of matter into an endless warship.

"You're such a madman, does it make sense to force the empire to compromise like this?" Cheng Shi said angrily.

"You are stubborn, there will always be sacrifices on the path of science, and this price is only to make the empire lose some material. The real soul IP will automatically return to the void of the universe, and the virtual soul IP will enter the next reincarnation, but it will change the universe and that's it. Uria said casually.
