Prequel (middle), Cosmic Wars
I can no longer control the entire universe in an instant, and at the same time, life other than me has arisen in the ten-dimensional universe - they are the first beings in this universe to be made of matter and move in a form you can understand. In the ten-dimensional universe with the speed of light, they grew rapidly and soon became god-level beings.
What is a god-level existence? I define it as: a civilization or individual who is not a god, but has almost the same ability as me within the scope of its own ability - they can destroy a galaxy or even a small universe in an instant within a certain range, and they can also change the physical laws of a certain area like pinching plasticine.
At first, I welcomed their presence. Because I have been in a deep state of self-reproach and regret after discovering that I have made a terrible mistake, I have been quietly waiting for the collapse and destruction of the ten-dimensional universe -- with the hope that after the ten-dimensional universe collapses into a singularity, the re-formed universe will be the eleven-dimensional pastoral universe again.
This kind of hope is not unreasonable, the collapse will recover all the material energy of the universe (some low-level civilizations think that hiding in the small space they have created can avoid this disaster, but in fact the collapse will destroy everything), since there is no shortage of raw materials at all, then the resulting universe should also be unchanged at all, I hope that the new god in the new universe will not do the same stupid thing as me......
But the development of events was completely beyond my expectations: when two god-level civilizations met, they actually started to attack each other directly, for reasons that I couldn't understand at all - both sides believed that the resources in this universe were limited and would be exhausted sooner or later; Both sides believe that the first strike is the strongest; Both sides are sure that their technology is good enough to destroy the other in an instant......
Of course, the reason is not as simple as these three points, but I am not going to go into details, and you must not try to explain this phenomenon in sociology - the fact is that the relationship between different god-level beings is extremely simple and perverted: if you find each other, you must destroy each other immediately.
Thus, the moment the god-level beings of the two ten-dimensional universes discovered each other, there was no attempt at communication or peaceful coexistence, and the first cosmic war began.
――
Unfortunately, as a god, there is no being of the same level as me in the pastoral universe of the eleventh dimension with whom I can communicate; And after the destruction of this perfect universe, every god in the multiverse has the same memories and thought patterns as me, and there is no need to communicate with each other; There is no conflict of interest between the gods of each universe - it is difficult for different universes to communicate and exchange matter, and matter in one universe is rejected by another.
Because of the above reasons, I can't empathize with the clash between these small god-level civilizations, but I'm not ready to interfere, after the pastoral universe was destroyed by me, I have actually become the biggest criminal in the universe, and I am not qualified to point fingers at any civilization or individual, just quietly be a truth-telling onlooker of the true God......
But things quickly developed beyond my expectations - although the speed of light in the ten-dimensional universe is not infinite, its overall rhythm is still so fast that it is completely incomprehensible to the lower dimensional life.
Three seconds after the birth, the First Cosmic War began.
For the first half second, both sides attack hostile planets and galaxies with ordinary weapons; Gradually, with the development of technology, the two sides began to use regular weapons or causal weapons to try to completely destroy the hostile star field; At less than a little in the fourth second, the war escalated again...... Realizing that the two god-level civilizations that could not eliminate each other through conventional means, they invariably began to develop "dimensionality reduction weapons". While I was hesitating whether to stop them, the deepest destructive force of the material fabric was awakened for the second time - the war of dimensionality began.
Thus, less than four seconds after the eleventh dimension of the universe was lowered to the tenth dimension, the universe was lowered by one dimension.
This time, the dimension that collapsed was the spatial dimension, and one of the two warring sides emerged victorious: the civilization, which I call "A", survived this tragic cosmic upheaval by actively lowering one dimension of its own before using dimensional weapons on the enemy.
The speed of light has decreased once again, and my body is actually missing a macroscopic dimension! I feel a little angry and intend to intervene and prevent the dimensional war from happening again.
But at this time, a new civilization born from the nine-dimensional universe called itself "Cosmic Restarter" came up with a plan that I didn't expect - they believed that this universe actually had twelve dimensions, and the zero dimension was the twelfth dimension. Now that the pastoral universe is a thing of the past, let's simply continue to lower the dimension, reduce the dimension to zero, just like turning the clock past 12, and complete the restart of the universe in an alternative way.
Yes, I didn't think of it, and even though I was almost omniscient, my creativity was almost non-existent because of that. I couldn't think of a good solution to the problem, but I was moved by the plan of the "Cosmic Restarter", so I decided to break the jar and continue to quietly watch the universe evolve.
――
The war continues to break out, and the pace of the universe becomes slower and slower due to the decrease in the speed of light: the nine-dimensional universe is reduced to the eighth dimension after stabilizing for more than an hour; The eight-dimensional universe existed for two days and then was destroyed in the "Third Dimensionality Reduction War"; The war continues to one lower dimensional world after another...... The seven-dimensional universe existed for five years, the six-dimensional universe lasted for more than 6,000 years, and the five-dimensional universe lived for nearly 10 million years.
The dimension is constantly destroyed by war, the speed of light is constantly reduced, and several old civilizations, including the "A" civilization, have developed technology to the peak, and they have even sensed my existence and tried to kill me! I can't bear to tell them the facts - this is impossible, as long as the universe remains, I am immortal.
The pace of the universe is getting slower and slower, and even the pace of war is getting slower and slower, so that by the time of the four-dimensional universe, any civilization that is produced anywhere in the universe can survive for a long time in places beyond the reach of god-level civilizations, and take the opportunity to develop enough to protect themselves - and those god-level civilizations can only stare at the low speed of light and wait for others to catch up with them in technology.
The pace of the universe is already too slow, and even dimensional weapons can't destroy the universe in a short period of time. More than 10 billion years have passed since the complete disappearance of the five-dimensional universe, and the "Seventh War of Dimensionality Reduction", that is, the war that tried to reduce the universe to three dimensions, has already begun.
At this moment, this universe is in a peculiar state: the "Seventh Dimensionality Reduction War" has not yet been fought, and the four-dimensional part still exists; In the part where two-thirds have been completely turned into three-dimensional, the "Eighth Dimensionality War" in which the two civilizations "A" and the "Cosmic Restarter" tried to reduce the universe to two dimensions began in a hurry.
At this moment, there are already many scattered areas in the universe, and under the attack of weapons called "two-way foils", they have begun to fall into the second dimension at a low speed of light.
――
There are still new civilizations emerging in the three-dimensional universe, and in the eyes of these nascent civilizations, perhaps the universe is so perfect and natural...... But in fact, every inch of space, every elementary particle, and every physical law and constant in this universe is all the ruins of the war formed by the "First Dimensional Destruction", the subsequent seven "Dimensional Wars", and the "Eighth Dimensional War" that has already begun.
The speed of light has dropped to 300,000 kilometers per second, and the pace of the universe has slowed down to an unprecedented degree. I had almost lost control of the universe and was just slumped in bed waiting to die.
Even so, the rate of expansion of the universe continues to decay unwaveringly and hopelessly......
