At the edge of the universe, space is disappearing rapidly.
Everything has become nothingness.
If the galaxy does not retreat as fast as this space disappears, it will be ruthlessly swallowed by the empty space.
And in this area, a life is watching here.
That is Todoroki who controls the rules of the dimension.
"Space has fallen. This is my last chance. If I can, I will master the entire dimension in this way! This will greatly increase the probability of my recovery!"
Todoroki looked at the space under special circumstances. In his eyes, it was not just the collapse of the three-dimensional universe.
Collapse involves all space.
Whether it is one-dimensional or two-dimensional, or a higher high-dimensional space, they are all disappearing simultaneously.
And such disappearance also gave Todoroki a good opportunity to peek into the rules of the entire dimension.
"Seize this last chance!"
Afterwards, Todoroki disappeared directly from the spot.
He rushed into the collapsing space, and the terrifying space pressure generated when the universe collapsed almost crushed him!
But this power that could easily shatter the universe was tolerated by Todoroki.
In other words, it was avoided by Todoroki.
Although Todoroki seemed to be diving into it, in fact, Todoroki was always a little away from the broken area.
Of course, apart from Todoroki, the rest of the top players were not idle either.
Since most of the top civilizations are experiencing the collapse of the cosmic era for the first time, they are making various preparations.
This includes how to imprint its own rules into the inner universe.
Although they all had an idea in their hearts, they finally chose to ask the micro-civilization.
As for the micro-civilization, as the "good guy" among the top-level civilizations, although Mo persuaded him at first, he finally spoke out.
"The method of imprinting the rules? In fact, it is by combining some of the technologies we have with the inner universe and galaxy space. How to put it? Let's take ourselves as an example."
"Although we are called a microscopic civilization, in fact our real technological focus lies in the quantum field, so what we need to do is to imprint our own quantum state on the entire galaxy space."
"I think as the top level, you should also have your own unique technology. This technology often involves the fields of rules and space. Remember, it must involve space technology and zero-point energy technology."
"In this way, after you have mastered the zero-point energy technology, that is, after you have reached an advanced level, we will be able to naturally find the regular technology we have mastered from the zero-point energy in this galaxy, and thus successfully recover."
"It's just that different top masters have different rules, and different rules have different characteristics, so we don't know how the top beings who master the other rules can recover."
After returning, these top civilizations began to conduct various experiments.
For this reason, a large number of galaxies suffered.
For example, energy civilization, their experiments can often cause the destruction of a galaxy.
This kind of destruction is not to say that the entire galaxy disappears directly.
Energy civilization attempts to imprint its own rules into the dark energy of galaxies.
This kind of energy used to maintain galaxies is not that advanced for an energy civilization, but for a galaxy, dark energy is essential.
The existence of dark energy is a basic factor for the stable existence of galaxies.
Energy civilization experiments often cause the dark energy of a galaxy to disappear directly.
This dark energy has been swallowed up by the more powerful energy.
When a galaxy's dark energy disappears, the galaxy will no longer be able to maintain its own existence.
Just like the Milky Way, if there is no dark energy to maintain, then remote galaxies like the Solar System will not continue to revolve around the central black hole of the Milky Way.
Instead, it directly starts moving at a uniform speed in the universe and leaves.
However, compared to the busyness of the top technological civilization and Todoroki, the top individuals seemed relatively leisurely.
Especially No.
Since the universe began to collapse, Nuo began to take back his bodies in the universe.
It is a waste to lose the particles of life in the collapse of the universe.
Nuo does not want to waste its own resources.
These are the confidence for his recovery!
In the Ning Geng Galaxy, even though it was the life named "Nuo" that eventually became advanced and revived.
But in fact, it is irrelevant whether the life that finally becomes a high-level and revives is a life named "No".
In the end, when all the life particles merge, the one they become must be Nuo himself.
Every particle of life is a possibility for Nuo's resurrection.
Therefore, the more life particles there are, the greater the possibility of Nuo's recovery.
The construction of life particles is not easy, and it takes a lot of time to create.
Of course, in addition to these top beings, Jing is also busy.
"After the rules of cause and effect are reset, the retribution of cause and effect disappears simultaneously."
The rules of cause and effect were still being reset, and after many attempts, Jing found that after using the law of cause and effect weapon, he did not regularly encounter some strange things again.
Karma disappears.
This shows that the uncontrolled use of causal weapons has arrived.
The law of cause and effect weapon is a sharp weapon in war.
However, Jing now avoids war, or almost no life in the universe wants to deal with war.
Especially advanced technological civilizations that can leave the galaxy.
Can war allow them to stop the collapsing universe?
This is obviously impossible.
The only ones who are still continuing the war are those intermediate technological civilizations that cannot leave the galaxy.
In other words, although intermediate technological civilizations are aware of the collapse of the universe, they have little chance to avoid this collapse.
So under this circumstance, war has unsurprisingly become a means of catharsis for these technological civilizations.
Or maybe they have observed the collapse of the universe, but they don't know what this collapse will cause.
Intermediate technological civilizations do not know that the universe will end the third cosmic era because of this exploration, and even some advanced technological civilizations do not know.
Except for the top players, there are actually not many people who know that the Third Universe Era is about to perish.
Advanced technological civilizations simply rely on instinct to stay away from the area of universe collapse.
Under the influence of Jing, some advanced technological civilizations "naturally" collided.
The series of reactions produced after the collision will be a kind of material for the study of causal rules.
"How can things in the past become a result? And if it is ongoing cause and effect, judging from the continuity of the cause and effect relationship, it is indeed possible to reverse cause and effect, but there is always a key link missing. "
In fact, it is clear where the missing link is.
time.
Although he didn't want to believe it, as he thought deeply about reversing cause and effect, Jing found that time was an inevitable link.
The causal weapon that determines the effect will act on the future, the causal weapon that denies the cause will act on the present, and the causal weapon that reverses the cause and effect will most likely affect the past, present, and future at the same time.
It is absolutely impossible to reverse cause and effect simply in a tricky way.
"What will happen to a complete cause-and-effect relationship if the past, present and future time periods have simultaneous effects?"
"The cause of the past has become the effect. Things in the past have been changed. Since things in the past have changed, things today should also change."
“But just like in the grandfather paradox, what happens in the present after things change in the past?”
"Can everything in the past be changed?"
"And will changing the past have any impact on the present?"
Jing looked at the information terminal. Everything in the existing universe is constantly advancing. Can changing the past really change the present?
"If dimensional civilization does not die, will it be able to change the current situation of the universe?"
"No, the dimensional civilization is dead. It is impossible for me to resurrect a top civilization through the law of causality weapons. It is impossible for the law of causality weapons to have such an ability."
"Even if the rules of time apply, as is the case in the inner universe, it is impossible for top-level beings to be directly resurrected in the inner universe. They can only wake up through resuscitation."
"So looking at the death of dimensional civilization and causing the collapse of the universe, hey, wait a minute, what caused the collapse of the universe was actually the use of causality weapons by dimensional individuals to determine the consequences of the death of dimensional civilization in the future."
"The cessation of the operation of the rules of cause and effect is the direct cause of the collapse of the universe."
"So the cause of the collapse of the universe should actually be considered..."
In an instant, three answers flashed through Jing's mind.
The death of dimensional civilization, the use of causality weapons by dimensional individuals, and the cessation of causality rules.
“The rules of cause and effect cease to be the real cause.”
"But if we use the weapon of causality that reverses cause and effect, and changes the cause of stopping the rules of cause and effect into an effect, this result will also cause the current phenomenon."
"So changing it won't make any difference."
"What really wants to reverse the causal relationship is the use of causal weapons by dimensional individuals. But can I say that it is precisely because of the 'dimensional individuals' use of causal weapons' that it led to the 'death of dimensional civilization'?"
"The phenomenon of 'death of dimensional civilization' is actually a certain result after the complete collapse of the universe. Dimensional civilization will definitely die, but it will not necessarily die because of 'dimensional individuals using causal weapons'."
"So the real effect is 'the rule of cause and effect ceases'."
"Looking at the entire incident, if we really want to use a causal weapon that reverses cause and effect, the goal we need to achieve is actually 'dimensional individuals use causal weapons'. I need it to change cause into effect."
By this time, Jing seemed to have some ideas.
He watched the data in the information terminal update rapidly.
"Just like definition, this causality weapon does not change the past, but defines what happened in the past."
"The past has not been changed, things in the past have just been redefined!"
"Reversing cause and effect does not change the past, it changes our understanding of the past! No, not just understanding, but a substantial change that occurs in the present."
Suppose that for something in the past that does not seem to be in line with our own values at the moment, we redefine it so that it becomes something that is in line with our concepts, or it directly distorts the concepts.
So what will we make of it?
For example, the question of whether the elderly should be supported or not.
Before that, no doubt.
But for us now, it is an attitude of not caring about ourselves.
But at the same time, we also have the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
If we define that first incident as "the old man who fell should not be supported," then we now will not think that "helping the elderly" is a normal thing.
And we will not feel sorry for the person who lifted up the old man.
Of course, subsequent events are not taken into account.
This is just one of those things.
And what if it turns into a war?
An unjust war is defined as just, and it is defined as a war caused by some forced and involuntary reasons.
Will we still be hostile to the original invaders?
"So the weapon of causality that reverses cause and effect does not change past events, it only changes the meaning of past events. It distorts the original meaning of an event. When its meaning changes, the event actually changes."
Jing nodded and thought.
Although it seems to have nothing to do with the previous situation of reversing cause and effect, but when the definition of an event changes in the past.
Then the current understanding of the past has deviated. Such a deviation can also be called a situation of reversing cause and effect.
Because the cognitive cause has changed, different effects will naturally follow.
And this is also consistent with Jing's conjecture that the causal law weapon that reverses cause and effect will have effects in the past, present and future time at the same time.
This also neatly circumvents the rule that the past cannot be changed.
"What is really changed in all causality weapons is actually the present. Even if it is a causality weapon with a certain effect, it will not be 100% changeable in the future."
“When we make a determination about the future outcome through the causal law weapon that determines the outcome, since the future has not yet arrived, what actually changes is the present.”
"Because we think the future is determined and it will happen, so we will do it now! We do it, and the future will appear!"
"Is the essence of the rules of cause and effect actually the present?"
"Any state of the universe is the result of the accumulation of its previous states of the universe. Everything we do now determines everything in the future."
"Cause and effect, although related to time, pays more attention to everything in the present."
Thinking of this, Jing's understanding of the rules of cause and effect took a big step forward.
It can be said that at this moment, the rest of the technological civilizations involving the rules of cause and effect in the entire universe have been severely left behind by Jing.
However, it is obvious that although the theoretical matter has been developed, it is still too early to construct a causal weapon that reverses cause and effect.
Although it is not changing the past time, changing the definition of past events is still not a simple matter.
Let me inform you that today is just one chapter, and it should be the same in the next few days. I will continue after I finish my work.
