Chapter 1,509 The Other Side of the Great Cause

I remember Father God once said that void creatures view the void differently from ordinary races. As the embodiment of the void, void creatures have a perspective that cannot be simulated by any technology or secret technique. Through this perspective, Observing the void, one can often directly see the "truth" that ordinary races can detect only by relying on a lot of research and reasoning.

However, it is precisely because the "perspective" of void creatures cannot be copied that even if we observe these truths, it is difficult to explain them clearly to other people, let alone let ordinary races understand - I will wait with Sandora People mentioned the strange scenes they "saw" in their fugue state, but after a heated discussion with the whole family for half an hour, they came to the conclusion that I didn't sleep well the night before...

But now I feel that the void model guessed by Abyss Xiling may have some similarities with the sea of ​​​​void that I accidentally "saw", such as the ups and downs of the world and the "plane" that covers everything, so I put my thoughts at the moment Speak up.

"You mean that the void takes on an ocean-like shape in your eyes?" Abyss Xiling pondered, "It may be consistent with my model, but there seems to be some modifications to the definition of the abyss... Okay, these are all It’s not important. Anyway, I’ve told you all about the ‘Great Cause’. Is there anything you don’t understand about what I just said?”

"Wait a moment while I finish." I raised my hand to indicate that my brain needed some time to catch up, and then I sorted out the things Abyss Xiling told me one by one, "In other words, you have studied the void's model', proposing a new idea that may be the most realistic at present: the void can be regarded as a membrane, the known world of order is the front of the membrane, the civilization on the other side is the back of the membrane, and Genesis is the bulge on our side The crest of the wave. But the civilization on the other side is the trough of the sunken wave. This offset of the crest and trough is reflected in the amount of information, rather than a simple one-to-one correspondence between the 'positive world' and the 'counterworld'. Secondly, the abyss itself is not It is not a real thing, but just a 'tendency' or a 'process'. It is the 'annihilation trend' shown by the void in order to perfectly return to zero. The gates of the abyss and the breath of pollution that we know so far are actually just It's just an additional effect of the abyss, not the ontology: the ontology of the abyss is abstract, unfathomable, and does not exist in the real world, so it has no so-called home base. All our deep dive plans have actually been centered around ' Drilling a hole in the void and wandering around, the so-called Gate of the Abyss and the 'space' below the Gate of the Abyss are not the lair of the Abyss. They are just some inexplicable structures in the void. This inexplicable structure can lead to the other side - but it It’s not an abyss passage.”

"Yes," Abyss Xiling nodded, "The concept of 'abyss passage' did not exist from the beginning. It is only a phenomenon and has no ontology. No matter what the spatial structure under the gate of the abyss is that can lead to the 'other shore', In short, it's not an abyss. It's just that in this special spatial structure, the 'return to zero' property is unprecedentedly powerful, so we have always mistakenly thought that it was the origin of the abyss."

I pointed my fingers at the second point: "Based on this model, you studied the materials sent by the civilization on the other side and found that there are some things that are completely immune to the abyss. Corresponding to the model, things on this side of the wave crest have arrived. The side of the wave trough cannot be identified. As a 'program' to ensure that the void returns to zero, the abyss works on both sides of the membrane of the void, but since it has no brain, there are loopholes to exploit in this zeroing. - At present, it seems that the abyss is the only powerful enemy in various 'natural disasters' that can threaten the Xiling Apostles. If it can be directly neutralized, the Xiling Apostles will be truly invincible in the sky and on the earth forever, except for the same people. There are no hidden dangers other than the death struggle between super civilizations and self-destruction... You plan to build an empire that will unify the void for eternity. This is your great cause."

Abyss Xiling continued to nod and smile.

"To exploit this loophole, you must build a bridge, because the species of order born on one side will never be perfectly immune to the abyss on this side. So you decide that the first step is to drill a hole and get to the other side of the void, and the second step is to build a bridge. The first step is to start evolving on the other side. The first step is to become completely immune to the abyss 'over there'. The third step is to use the local 'rules' to form another Xiling Empire on the other side, and then return along the bridge built back then. . From then on, the Xiling Empire has occupied both sides of the void, and it is equivalent to having a backup. From now on, unless the entire void collapses, the imperial flag will never fall."

"A perfect plan, isn't it?" Abyss Xiling smiled, his eyes firm and without any impurities.

Everyone in the room was silent for a long time this time to digest this obviously overwhelming amount of information.

The secret of "Great Cause" has finally been revealed, but it is not what we thought before. Even Father God has not guessed the truth of Great Cause at all - we have always considered Abyss Xiling from the perspective of conspiracy and destroying world peace. Naturally, all he could think of was all kinds of destruction, but no one expected that this guy's thoughts were so simple, so simple and straightforward that any imperial soldier should understand:

Rebuild the empire and do everything possible to avoid a recurrence of the disaster of the year so that the Xiling flag will never fall.

And if necessary, declare war on everything for this goal.

This is really something that any Xiling apostle should think of, but all of us are blinded by our own thinking.

"Okay, we all understand what your great cause is," Sandora took a long breath, and then looked into the eyes of Abyss Xiling, "I have no intention of commenting on whether it is good or bad for you to rebuild an abyssal empire. Now I just want to know one thing: apart from this 'immunity', what other benefits does your great cause have to us? You hope that the new empire will cooperate with you, saying that building bridges can reduce the frequency and intensity of the abyss phenomenon within the void. This what's going on?"

"Actually, this is just an additional effect of building a bridge. But for the races in the world of order, this additional effect is probably a hundred times more significant than the significance of the bridge itself." Abyss Xiling smiled, "Abyss guarantees that the void will return to zero. The important factors, whether it is the new model I proposed or the previous statement that the gods and the empire have always recognized, are unified on this point: the void returns to zero and manifests in the abyss. Then there is a question: is it true? Can only the abyss complete the return to zero?"

"Theoretically, as long as the world returns to void, the 'return to zero' process is over. The abyss corresponding to this world will disappear on its own," Harlan said slowly in a low voice, "According to you, the abyss is a 'Trend' and 'process', so it does not exist out of thin air. This is also consistent with various existing theories, except that in the existing theories, the abyss corresponding to it dies after the world dies naturally, that is It is said that the existing theory believes that the abyss is an 'exact thing' that exists together with the world, but in your model, the abyss only 'happens' when the world begins to destroy. So if the world dies naturally, then the abyss it corresponds to actually It has never existed from the beginning. In other words... the world that is naturally annihilated will not intersect with the abyss, and there will even be no corresponding abyss at all."

"Actually, I don't know much about this matter. 'Is the abyss that has not happened yet?' This is simply a question that I can't even calculate. Maybe my collective consciousness is not good at dealing with this kind of mystery. Things. I only know one thing: the abyss is not the only means of 'returning to zero', it is just the crudest and most efficient of all means of returning to zero. Countless universes are perishing every moment in the void, and one of them Most of them die naturally. These naturally dying worlds don't need to be invaded by the abyss at all, right? This shows that for the void, as long as the 'return to zero' can be achieved smoothly, violent methods are completely unnecessary."

I looked into Abyss Xiling's eyes: "Then what does this have to do with building a bridge?"

"If you connect the two sides of the void, its zero-return pressure will decrease." Abyss Xiling threw out another statement that sounded more difficult to understand, and began to explain, "We regard the void as a piece of Brane, can you use the properties of ordinary 'thin films' to think about why the void returns to zero?"

I racked my brains and thought for a while, and suddenly I felt a little bit possessed in my heart: "Because it plays hard enough?"

I'm sure Sandora gasped as soon as I said these words - everyone in the room heard the sound!

"Your explanation method is quite creative. I didn't even expect it." Abyss Xiling looked at this side blankly, but still nodded, "It's okay to understand it this way. In fact, what I want to say is: The Void So the purpose of returning to zero is to reduce the imbalance on both sides. You should have seen it in my model. Whether it is natural creation or divine creation, as long as anything is born or evolves in the void, it will change the 'membrane' Form. As a single plane, the only way to change its form is through folds. The bulges are positive and the depressions are negative. The positive and negative values ​​offset each other numerically, but in fact, its two sides are out of balance - the void returns to zero. It is to rediscover this balance. Although it is not a membrane and does not have any dimensions, there is no doubt that the void has 'two sides'. The imbalance between our side and the other side is the culprit that leads to the emergence of the abyss, and the imbalance The greater the degree, the greater the chance of the abyss appearing, which is why some worlds are extremely susceptible to infection: because they have too much information..."

I nodded: "If you have connotation, you will be finished early. If you have broad ideas, your life will not last long."

Abyss Xiling looked at me with a very awkward look: "Although I appreciate your subtle metaphors from time to time, does this really affect the atmosphere?"

Me: "...you continue, you continue..."

"In short, it is the difference between the two sides of the void that causes this imbalance, and the difference between the two sides of the void comes from their complete isolation: It is currently confirmed that only this layer of barrier is the ultimate information barrier. Do you think this layer of barrier It's an abyss. I think this barrier is a 'void structure' that reacts extremely strongly to the abyss. But no matter which explanation, it's something like this barrier that amplifies the imbalance of the void. If we successfully build the bridge, Then the difference between the 'two sides' can be reduced within a certain range, because the parts connected by the bridge have no concept of 'isolation'. This is the benefit that building a bridge can bring to you: after the balance of the void is improved, The abyss will diminish.”

I must admit that this is a tempting idea, and the prospects it can bring are unprecedentedly bright. However, Sandora's brows always tighten, and it is obvious that Her Majesty has thought of longer-term and more disturbing possibilities.

Sandora stared into Abyss Xiling's eyes: "What if there are loopholes in your theory? This kind of project may cause damage to the void itself. An X plan in the old empire era has destroyed the entire civilization, and your idea seems to be better than Plan x is still crazy: you are trying to rewrite the existing void, and even create a new pattern yourself."

"Of course I thought of these," Abyss Xiling said confidently. "I said that I will not let the empire go down the same old path again, so my plan will not have any whimsical elements. I use a membrane to represent the void just to make it easier for you to understand. Its real structure is definitely not that simple. It's not that fragile. Building a bridge is only reducing the imbalance on both sides of the void, and will never cause unheard of things like void collapse: it is not really a membrane, and building a bridge is not about wearing this membrane. There was a hole in the void, and according to the example of the empire that controlled the void a little bit 70,000 years ago and was killed by the backlash, do you think that ordinary races like you and me can change the pattern of the void by building a bridge? You are underestimating the source of all things. the power of."

Shandora glanced at me silently, and then murmured: "The main reason is that he doesn't look very reliable."

Me: "..." After all, they are an old married couple. Sandora, can you please stop shooting me at this time?

Fortunately, there was a Haran at the scene who could remain serious throughout the whole process. He didn't pay attention to Sandora's small interaction with me. He just looked at Abyss Xiling with an unusually serious expression: "In the end, whether this bridge is harmful or not is up to you. Thing - I admit that the void is indeed not something that can be destroyed by a bridge, but as long as its pattern changes slightly, it will be a huge disaster for us creatures in the world of order. You have to take Only by producing enough weighty evidence can we feel comfortable discussing cooperation.”

"You have completely become a member of the New Empire so quickly." Abyss Xiling glanced at Harlan with a profound look, "But it doesn't matter, I thought you wouldn't believe it so easily, so I won't bother to explain. I only mention three points: First, the void is infinite and cannot be described by any specific quantity, so anything finite and measurable cannot destroy or change the void. The 'bridge' is obviously a measurable thing things, so it will not cause any damage to the void. What you think of 'changing the pattern of the void' is, in the final analysis, just changing the law of activity of the abyss. Second, the void contains everything, and this 'containing everything' is a complete The literal meaning is completely, that is to say, what you can think of and what you can't think of, what you can do and what you can't do, everything is part of the void whether it exists or not, so this 'bridge' It is also a part of the void itself. Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, or whether I have proposed the concept of building a bridge or not, the void already contains all possibilities, and everything we have to do is recognized by the source of all things. It's even been there since the beginning: it's like carving a statue out of a rock. The statue was already there, we've just removed the extra bits of stone, and believe me, that doesn't ruin the word 'rock'. Essence. The third and most important point: If you are willing to cooperate, then I will open up all research materials. You can personally verify whether my conjecture is reliable. If you all judge that this project is harmless, I believe it will be No one will talk too much, right?"

In fact, the first two points Abyss Xiling said were nothing. After all, they were things everyone knew, but the third point really shocked people. I looked at him dumbfounded: "Are you kidding?"

"There is no need to joke," Abyss Xiling nodded seriously, "This is the last step of my plan. There is nothing against you in the second half of this plan, so I will make all information available, and I will cooperate later. I’ll tell you the details.”

"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused..."

I quickly waved my hand to ask Abyss Xiling to pause, and then began to quickly integrate everything she said, and then considered how many things I had missed: I might have been bombarded by countless theories and cutting-edge terms suddenly thrown out by the other party. , so many of the problems I had at the beginning were forgotten. It was only when I calmed down that I thought of them again.

"Let me ask you a question, and this is also the first question: Why do you want to come to New Empire to discuss cooperation now? What were you doing before? What do you want to do in the future?"

I finally pulled this most basic question out of the mess. This is the key: Abyss Xiling told everyone a lot of theories about the void, and it seemed that she explained her theory to us very clearly. "Great Cause" and all the influences of "Great Cause", but she did not say why she suddenly came to the New Empire. This is the most surprising thing for everyone.

"Taking all factors into consideration, cooperation with you is indispensable to accomplish the great cause," Abyss Xiling replied happily, "I have old information in my hands and more information about the other side, and you have me in your hands. The key thing is missing, and you can contact the gods, and more importantly - you have a void creature here."

I pointed to my nose: "Why does this still have to do with me?"

"That's right, but we can talk about this later. Well, we can talk about it after meeting your scientific research director."

I understand, it means that I may not understand...well, this question is not important.

"What about your previous actions? Why have you been fighting against the empire before? Wouldn't it be better to come to us for cooperation from the beginning? Do you have to fall out with both the Gods and the new empire?"

Abyss Xiling shook his head: "The previous actions are destined not to be tolerated by you - I want a large number of world hearts to activate the bridge, and I want to destroy many worlds according to rules to form a stirring field, and these worlds have requirements, most of them There is life in all living things. The first half of this plan is to be an enemy of all the worlds of order. Do you think you can agree?" (To be continued.
