Infinite worlds, infinite dimensions.
The material world is just an "isolated island" floating on the sea of origin.
The energy source sea is constantly surging with tides, and the Lord God takes advantage of the situation to create the material world at the "singularity" formed by the tides. The transformation from energy to matter can be regarded as completed "in an instant" because of the power of detonating the "singularity" (in essence, the source sea of pure energy has no time dimension).
This process of transforming matter will consume most of the energy accumulated in the singularity of the Origin Sea, thereby also calming the restlessness of the Origin Sea.
When the world is formed, regardless of whether materialization is completed, it will immediately enter the second stage - the stage of reverse transformation from matter to energy - the burning of stars, the movement of celestial bodies... Everything in the world is consuming energy day and night, and This energy will be provided by consuming matter through fission or fusion.
From the moment the world was completed, the total mass of the universe has been decreasing while "entropy" has been increasing.
Until one day, the energy of the universe is completely exhausted, the world burns out the last flame and plunges into darkness, and all living things become extinct; then after countless years, the universe finally collapses into a point and releases the final energy - finally turning into A wave in the ocean.
This completes a complete cycle of energy converted into matter, and matter converted into energy again.
An era ends.
The Lord God keeps the "seeds" of the world and finds a singularity in the Origin Sea to plant them again...the next era begins.
Although an ancient poem once said, "If you are less than a hundred years old, you will always worry about a thousand years old."
As long as human life spans, it is okay to occasionally worry about things in a thousand years, but if you worry about the destruction of the universe in 100 billion years... that is just a pain in the ass; let alone the human life span of a hundred years, even if it is Asari, who can live five thousand years, are probably confused when it comes to the death of the universe.
Without it, just because it is too far away. Distant even beyond the length of race.
Just like the Mona people, they now will not admit that those handsome men and beauties who looked exactly like the people on Earth were the ancestors of their own race! If humans evolve into four eyes and eight hands in the future, they probably won’t recognize Earthlings as their ancestors.
The same goes for us - if we knew that our descendants would look like that in the future, we might as well shoot them on the wall now...
But for some people the length of the epoch makes sense. For example, Sanqing, Western Buddha and a certain person, because without the help of Alona to reincarnate, the length of this era is equal to their life span. So ordinary people don't care, but they do care.
We said earlier that the length of an epoch depends on the speed of energy consumption in this universe. Usually in the first half of an epoch, the main consumption is the burning of stars and the energy required for the operation of the galaxy. The energy consumed in the budding process of civilization accounts for a very small proportion of it. For example, the solar energy received by the earth is only one part in 2.2 billion, but it can already meet the energy needs of billions of people.
However, in the second half of the era, with the rise of civilization, the energy required by civilization began to increase by orders of magnitude. At this stage, the energy consumed by interstellar civilization will rapidly exceed natural consumption!
Civilization builds Dyson spheres outside stars and puts an entire river system into the stellar furnace as fuel... Human beings need to conquer nature, change the world, and hold the universe in their hands! They have built a warship that is comparable to the planet, but they still feel that it is not big enough; they have a speed of light years, but they still feel that it is not fast enough; a person's productivity can meet the needs of a country, but they still feel that it is not high enough!
The root of it all is energy! energy! energy!
Only energy investment regardless of cost can achieve the Great Leap Forward of civilization.
Entropy is increasing crazily, and the lifespan of the universe is shortening rapidly, but all this does not matter to civilization... Only forty thousand years have passed in the Warhammer world, and it seems that civilization has reached the end. So who cares about what happens four billion years from now?
"Ahem~" The three guys from Sanqing said one after another, "Actually, we care a lot!"
As mentioned earlier, the methods of the Three Purities are "a small country with few people", "no contact between chickens and dogs", and "no contact between old age and death". That is to use the planet and the universe to isolate the seeds of civilization, in order to delay the speed of civilization entering the interstellar world... Of course Sanqing can do more, but that goes against the way of nature and is inconsistent with his morality. So Sanqing could only do this step and then stopped.
As for Western Buddhism, Buddhism is always a bystander. What he advocates is "reincarnation" - trying to find a way to transform "entropy" into matter within an era by studying the power of the Lord God. If the transformation of energy and matter in the universe can form a "closed loop", then this world will become eternal! This is the path of Western Buddhism...but it's a pity that it hasn't seen the light of day yet.
The third person - as mentioned before, Ma Liang, the King of Painters, ranked fifth in the temple. The first four are Hongjun, Sanqing, Western Buddha and this man... The ancient world called him "Lokhan" and "Taros"; the Mona people called him "King of Kings"; and in several On Earth before the Era, half of the world called him "God"...
The third person is unscrupulous and has no bottom line.
The first time he took action, the Middle Ages of the earth was endlessly cycled by him for a thousand years; and in the ancient world, it was cycled by him for ten thousand years and ten thousand years - the dwarves were misled by him as soon as they ignited the light of technology. He suffered a great death, and eventually the whole clan was destroyed and disappeared from history.
So much so that the development of civilization in the ancient world still remains at the level of the Middle Ages on earth...
In the universe where the new galaxy is located, the technological development of various civilizations was completely misled by him. The holographic technology he spreads can only be "gods" in the end, which means that the civilization that develops holographic technology will never be able to get rid of superstition, nor can it leave the river system where it is located;
The "stellar furnace" and the galactic highway that he directed the Mona people to lead the research are not good things either - in addition to being used to produce building materials for the galactic prison, a large number of star storages were also artificially extinguished in the name of construction. rise up and gather civilization to inhabit it. This of course reduces the consumption of nature... and also cuts off the birth of new civilizations and destroys the diversity of civilizations.
Imagine if the sun was dragged away before humans were born, would human civilization still be born? Or if human beings were sent to live together in a higher civilization, would the term "human civilization" still exist hundreds of years later?
Falkreath, every resident's face is as dark as iron.
Ever since Alduin, the Devouring Dragon, flew away from Helgen, the weather along the shores of Lake Ilintana began to change drastically in the afternoon - black iron-like thick clouds covered Falkreath and Helgen like a lid. And Lake Ilintana buckles beneath the sky.
The storm keeps washing this land!
Huge and bright thunder tore from one end of the sky to the other, and then made a deafening drum sound! The primeval forests along the coast are constantly ignited by thunder and lightning. The trees are burning fiercely in the rain and emitting thick black smoke... Looking from a distance, Falkreath with countless smoke pillars rising is like a raging battlefield. .
"Don't be afraid, we have defeated Alduin before! Believe me, we have a way... Everyone, hide in the basement! Don't go to the woods... We have defeated it once, and we can win it a second time! "Hadawa stood in the mud covered with rain and commanded at the top of his lungs. The city guards followed him on both sides, braving the rain and going door to door asking questions.
But when Hadawa's eyes met Lu Yuan's, his expression clearly told Lu Yuan that he was worried that what was coming was not Alduin, the Devouring Dragon at all...
Lu Yuan nodded slightly. He did not hide in the basement as instructed, nor did he go out to help. Instead, he and Annie and others sat quietly by the window of the blacksmith shop...the only place in the room that could keep out the rain. Of course it was not Alduin who came, and several people knew this well. Alduin is Sophie, who once held Old Lu in her mouth and chewed it. She would never dare to go home at this time.
The clouds in the sky have begun to rotate like a funnel, and people's worried eyes naturally stop at the center... No matter who it is, it will reveal its face after wreaking havoc all afternoon.
Golden light shines from the clouds, and the huge golden throne crushes the sky!
A golden giant thousands of kilometers tall stood on top of it. He raised his huge golden war hammer and smashed it down towards Falkreath without hesitation!
