Chapter 739: The Secret of the Void

The situation of the little girl who I jokingly called the hybrid life is indeed rare, and now she still has part of the body structure of a human being, but the energy system in her body is designed according to the Apostle of Xiling, and at the same time, she also has part of the power of the Protoss, which makes it almost impossible for her to be divided into any race - maybe the Supreme Goddess of Life can consider delineating a special outline from the primate creatures, and name her Xiyande.

Originally, according to the general logic of the Apostle Xiling, having the imprint of the empire is the property of the empire, and the girl named Xiyan has integrated ghostly energy, so she should have to obey the orders of the empire, but this obviously does not take into account the human rights of the other party as a free person, if it is Sandora, it may be natural to give Xiyan an imperial military number and order her to report to the army, but I thought about it for a while, and it is better to let the girl choose how to live by herself.

Xiyan was obviously a little surprised by my decision, and until it was time to say goodbye, she was still looking my sister and me up and down suspiciously, and regrettably, until the end of the day, I still couldn't reverse the unlucky child's title of "uncle" to me.

It was a small episode when I got to know that girl, but it made me think more, that is: could this kind of thing be a special case?

Back in the drawing-room, I pressed the Pandora sisters into their chairs, and told Sandora about the little girl named Xiyan, who was obviously not very concerned about a stranger with ghostly powers, but was very concerned about the imperial legacy, and she said what I was thinking:

"After the collapse of the old empire, it is clear that countless legacies have been left behind, warships, outposts, colonized planets, and probes in remote areas, etc., the amount of things that can be left behind by a trans-void civilization is staggering, and the collapse of the empire cannot erase all those relics, they are now roaming in some corners of the void and some of the outlying realms, and some may even be functioning - these legacies may allow a civilization to enter the ranks of the high ranks by leaps and bounds, or it may cause great disasters."

This is the new thinking that the matter of Xiyan has brought us, a certain reckless protoss has used an imperial base to create a supernumerary Xiling Apostle, at least that outpost is equivalent to controllable, but what about the rest? There are also countless outposts scattered among the thousands of worlds, and even one percent of them can still operate, which is a time bomb.

"I'm afraid it's not like something like this hasn't happened before," the Dark Goddess, who had never opened her mouth, suddenly whispered, attracting everyone's attention, "My sentinel once reported that an unprecedented war suddenly broke out in the world, and the entire civilization was wiped out in an instant. The combat team that arrived later found something suspected of Xiling Technology, but there were only two or three similar reports, which had no reference significance. ”

"It could be that some civilization unearthed the remains of the empire and mistakenly used the weapons inside for civil wars." Sandora sighed, "This kind of thing is not unexpected, there have been events like the Olympus Organization on Earth. ”

How to say it, this is equivalent to giving each prince in the Warring States Era more than twenty Great Ivan, letting the immature civilization master the doomsday weapon has always been the largest group of murders, and the low-level civilization that is still in the civil war stage can't resist the powerful power and charm of the imperial weapon at all, there are always madmen among them who will let the light of the ghost cannon shine on their heads - it is a tragic lesson that the shallow learning to use a fruit knife at the age of five is a tragic lesson.

After a brief discussion, Sandora and I agreed to add an item to the Authority's daily routine: to be on the lookout for abnormal technological explosions in their own worlds, and to determine in the shortest possible time whether someone had excavated the relics of the Empire in the shortest possible time, and that the Authority's special forces would be responsible for recovering those legacies.

This is a wake-up call from the example of Xiyan, and it can be regarded as one of the small inspirations we have received from the divine realm. The main thing God has come to us to communicate with is the anomalous actions of the Fallen recently, and we have come to a consensus on this. After finalizing some details of future joint action, especially the opening of a divine portal in Shadow City, Sandora and I decided to take our leave, and by the way, Pandora went to retrieve Lilina and a few of their crazy little guys, but before leaving, a word from the Father made me stay:

"Friend, come with me, there are some things I should tell you."

It seems that the actions of the fallen apostles are just one of the reasons God the Father invites us to the divine realm, and that his other purpose is to tell me something.

When Sandora led the family out of the temple of the Father, the Father led me deeper into the temple.

This is a very deep corridor, and the entrance is guarded by twice as many guards, which may explain its unusualness. The footsteps of my father and I echoed in the hallway, and neither Bingdes nor Tinker Bell followed.

We had been walking for ten minutes in this long corridor that gradually extended to the lower part of the road, and the Father was still leading the way without saying a word, and I did not know whether to break the silence or not, so I followed silently behind for the time being. Behind him, the entrance to the corridor had disappeared, not even a single point of light could be seen, suggesting that the corridor might be slightly curved, and ahead, the long passage had no end in sight. At first, the walls on both sides of the corridor could still see the beautiful frescoes and reliefs that could be seen everywhere in the Father Temple, but the deeper I went, the less there was on the walls, and now there were only bare white stone walls and torches rising with white flames, and I felt that I might have left the core of the Father Temple, and now as this corridor entered a special place, the architectural features of the Temple gradually disappeared - as if I had entered an ancient tomb.

"What is the abyss?"

Suddenly a peaceful voice rang in my ears, and I realized that God had finally spoken.

"Destroying consciousness?" I recall the knowledge I received from Sandora, "Something that is neither material nor energy, the essence of existence is destruction, which leads everything that is in order to the end, similar to the will, but more refined than the will." The most dangerous thing in the multiverse, formless and insubstantial, spreads rapidly, and its origin is unknown, but it seems to be related to the Void. ”

"Well, that's enough for you."

The Father whispered, and at last we reached the end of the hallway: still at an indescribable sense of distance, as if we had reached our destination all at once, we came to a vast dark space, and the corridor behind us was no longer visible.

The eyes struggled to adapt to the dim light around them, but they still couldn't see anything clearly, and even their own skilled mental power probing found nothing, this place that could be a "hall" prevented outsiders from observing its true face in any way, and its sight and mental power were blocked.

"Let there be light."

God said, and I finally saw what was going on.

This is not a hall at all, not even an indoor space, we are now standing on the edge of a circular terrace with a radius of several hundred meters, this huge circular field is slightly concave in the center, and outward is a ladder-like platform with a width of more than ten meters, and the drop of each platform is about one meter or less, which makes it look very much like an ancient arena. At the edge of the circle was a circle of neatly arranged boulder columns, each equally spaced apart and about 100 meters high, and above the pillars was a series of broken and randomly floating arcs of stones, which occasionally drifted and combined to form a giant ring with a radius similar to the "arena" below, but that was only for a moment, and for most of the minutes I observed, they were aimlessly wandering high in the air, looking like gravity-free space wreckage.

The whole field floated in a desolate space, except for the circular "arena" beneath our feet, and there was nothing around except for the cold, dead silence like the darkness of space, which shrouded the platform.

I looked at this strange place curiously, I didn't understand what the Father wanted to bring me here, it seemed to be an independent space, the boundless darkness around me interfered with my perception, so that I could not accurately know my current spatial coordinates, but the link with the spiritual link was still unblocked, and the feedback information told me that I was still in a certain space in the divine realm.

"Look at those things,"

Father God said with a smile, and stretched out his finger to the huge stone pillars, "They form a barrier, so that the outer void and the order here do not interfere with each other, it is absolutely safe inside this platform, but leaving this barrier, you will go directly into the void." ”

I was amazed, it turned out that the dark and deep space outside was not the universe, but the void, but it looked different from the void I had seen before, it was too calm, and God God might have suppressed it by some means.

"How does it feel here?"

Father God suddenly said this, and I scratched my hair inexplicably, "What? It's a desolate place, it's empty, and things suspended in the void don't really feel solid - remember to take me with you when you go back."

Father's expression froze slightly, but he still smiled indifferently: "It's indeed desolate, but it's very difficult to create order in the void without creating an abyss, and I can't make this place even bigger like carving a world." It took me a long time for this Void Throne, but it worked. There is a lot we can do safely in this place where there is absolutely no erosion. ”

I was a little dazed for a moment, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that I realized that the other party was about to mention the true secret of the abyss

"Keep up—here's my test bench."

However, before I could ask, the Father walked forward on his own, explaining this place, and I could only follow closely, "Many worldly templates and non-existent orders were born here, and I am considered to be omniscient and omnipotent, but this does not mean that as a Father God there is no need to think and try, now I want you to see the truth in the void." ”

As the words fell, there was a faint distortion in the center of the huge circular field, like a strange soap bubble, and an indistinct sphere appeared several meters above the platform, and the Father God was standing next to this sphere, obviously under his control.

"What is this?"

The imminent contact with the huge mystery made me feel a little excited, but I still tried to calm down, and looked intently at the sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters above, I felt that it contained a huge amount of energy, but it was not any kind of energy I had ever seen, and even this vague feeling came and went, and I couldn't grasp it at all. The huge sphere looked like a pale soap bubble in appearance, with cloudy colors slowly distorting inside, and faint flashes of light that I couldn't be sure if it really existed, and it looked like a static hologram of the moment of a big explosion.

"It's just a simulation, but it's all in all its details, and what you're seeing is the ultimate moment of the birth of the world," the Father explained lightly, the sphere in the air suddenly disappeared and suddenly reappeared, "It's an information bubble, in the middle of the birth of time, before a moment you can't understand, it's chaos, the information is huge, everything doesn't exist, it's an inconspicuous point in the void, it's like the state that just disappeared, and after that moment, order is born, The information is suddenly released, it is coherent and discerning, everything enters a state that can be described, matter will be born after another instant, forming the most basic entity, crossing the boundaries of nothingness and producing mass, and time will begin to tick in that instant, in the first cry of the new universe-"

The dim sphere suddenly erupted in colorful colors, and in an indescribable moment it swelled violently, and the brilliant flames swept like an oncoming giant*, and the big bang of the birth of the world world enveloped itself, and as far as the eye could see, there was only an endless torrent of colors, the first light of the world world, the first matter of the world world, the first order and description of the world world, these tangible or intangible things surrounded themselves...... In a daze, I suddenly found that I had become a lonely boat in this turbulent sea, everything around me was evolving wildly, carrying out a glorious journey from zero to one, the flash of creation was dazzling, and the slow and sluggish self was at a loss in this earth-shattering project.

A hand suddenly clapped on my shoulder, and God the Father reappeared beside me, and the turbulent scroll of evolution around me came to a moment of stillness, as if someone had pressed the pause button in the middle of a holographic movie.

Dazzling clouds formed embryonic clumps around them, bright flashes like countless broken diamonds embedded in these clumps, and the first nebulae and giant stars shone in the primordial light of this chaotic universe, and although this was only a demonstration model, they dutifully unleashed their own flashes that might last only a moment.

The first second of the universe passed like this.

"The world was born."

The Father whispered, as if afraid to wake up the sleeping child.

"It's spectacular."

I sighed from the bottom of my heart, trying to grab something from the scene I had just seen, the Father had certainly allowed himself to watch such a scene not just to show a holographic movie to the guests, he was showing himself a secret, something that would only be revealed at the moment of the birth of the world, but unfortunately, in the end I didn't think of anything.

"It's really spectacular," the Father nodded, "whatever form of Genesis has to go through this process, it may manifest itself in various forms, but in the end, it all comes down to a qualitative change in the information bubble, and the Apostle of Helin also mastered the technique of Genesis, they created artificial singularities, and they were able to make the nascent universe evolve roughly according to their own design, but that kind of technique still ends up in the same way - well, we're not talking about that." What I want to ask is, did you notice that at the moment of Genesis, at the moment of going from zero to one, something disappeared? Or rather, with the birth of the worldly realm, what is there...... Excluded? ”

I thought about it seriously, thought hard, and ran my hair down one by one, but in the end I could only throw my hands and admit defeat: "You can say it, I can't think of it." ”

God the Father seems to have expected (?) "Honestly, you didn't save face with a plausible answer. This involves the nature of the void. We all know that the void is all-encompassing, it is the end of all things, and all kinds of explorations of the void show that this is an absolute 'nothing' realm, it has no length, size, weight, cold and heat, and there is no quantity that can be described, and it is always in the state before the birth of the concept...... But if this is really the case with the Void, where did the Realm of the World come from? ”

"The creation from zero to one, this sentence itself reveals something: we need at least a 'zero' in order to create one."

"The void is this so-called 'zero', and its nothingness is the raw material for the birth of the worldly realm."

After the other party said these difficult things, he gave me a few minutes to understand before continuing to explain: "The birth of the world world from zero is actually breaking a state of 'equilibrium', in the actual world world, this equilibrium can be seen everywhere, matter appears, there will be antimatter, energy appears, there will be dark energy, time is rolling forward, 'now' will continue to become history, everything follows the only balance at the time of Genesis, that is, everything returns to zero." It can be said that this kind of zeroness alleviates the 'labor pains' of the birth of the world in the void, but there is only one balance, which is destined to be irreparable since the birth of the world, and this fatal balance loophole is the abyss. ”

As he spoke, the Father bent down and reached into a still nebula, which immediately continued to evolve, and quickly produced a chain reaction, and the torrent of light was surging around again, and countless galaxies were thriving before his eyes.

"I know that the philosophers of the world have such a saying when thinking about the world world: everything in the world is divided into two parts, one part is known to people, and the other is not known to people, in the infant age of people, the unknown circle occupies the entire world, but slowly, the part of people who know the way will grow...... So for a truly omniscient and all-powerful person, what does he not know what to say? ”

Father suddenly threw a question, and I was caught off guard, and the scene around me was already shining with stars, but I was more and more at a loss.

"The question he doesn't know about is that he doesn't know what he doesn't know." God the Father said with a very serious expression.

I immediately laughed dumbly: "This is not a ...... of"

Halfway through the sentence, I couldn't go on, and I seemed to think of what the Father meant.

That's it, when everything becomes known, then whether there is still an unknown becomes the ultimate question, which will remain in a paradox forever and cannot be answered. And the world is also like this, when everything in the universe has evolved and everything has entered a state of equilibrium, there will inevitably be something that breaks the balance, and this thing that breaks the balance is actually the residue after the birth of the world world.

The void is balanced, all things correspond, and therefore all things are empty. When the concept of long is generated, there will be a corresponding short, and when heat is born, there will be a definition of cold, and this mutual cancellation is the supreme law that the void follows: everything will eventually return to zero. The same is true of the paradox just now, for the words 'omniscient and omnipotent', 'finding an unsolvable problem' is what negates the words 'omniscient and omnipotent' to zero. ”

Maybe I could call this the law level of relativity?

The brilliant cosmic starry sky around it has completed a cycle, the stars are obviously much rarer, the nebulae are dim, no new stars can be seen, and huge holes appear in this short-lived universe, indicating that dusk has arrived.

"There is a toy in the divine realm, called the Balance Tower, which is a very simple gadget, which is actually a series of scales, stacked to form a complex structure. The smallest scale has two weights of the same weight on it, and a slightly larger scale has a small balance on one side, a large weight on the other, and a larger balance on the other...... The World Realm is a small scale, and its two ends hold all the matter and energy in the World Realm, which allows its pointer to always point to zero, and the Void is a larger scale, with one end of the World Realm and the other end ...... Put the abyss.

Of course, in terms of information, the Abyss cannot be compared to an entire world, but in terms of power, a small abyss is enough to destroy the entire Ordered Universe, and when they are placed on the Void Scales with this concept, the pointer stops at zero.

The dregs of the world, this is the abyss. ”

The cosmic stars around him are gradually extinguishing, turning dim one by one like colored lights with insufficient electricity, and then cooling down.

"Every time a world realm is born, there will be an abyss that is enough to destroy a world realm, and usually this amount of destructive power is hidden in the depths of the void, and when the corresponding world realm dies (for example, the universe dies due to the increase in entropy to the limit), this abyss will also die out together due to the zeroing rule of the void, so that the order world and the abyss are maintained in a state of equilibrium."

The last star in front of him was also extinguished, and the universe of a glorious moment turned into a cold and dead silence.

"But occasionally, they will leak out and contaminate a normal worldly realm, just like the ultimate problem that breaks the 'omniscient and omnipotent', even though the abyss itself is a pitiful amount of information compared to the entire worldly realm, it is enough to destroy the entire worldly realm and plunge everything into chaos."

The evolution of the surrounding universe finally came to an end, and the scene around him became an empty and silent circular terrace again.

"One problem can destroy 'omniscient and omnipotent', and one residue is enough to destroy the balance of the entire world."
