Malkiri, who came from a Tumen Empire that no one had ever heard of, died alone among the ruins of the asteroid factory after going deep into the Gorgon Abyss alone. In every respect, he is as insignificant as a speck of dust in this mysterious and weird world.
However, the few words he left made Hao Ren feel that a corner of the boundless and dark curtain had been lifted. There seemed to be an unimaginable truth hidden in those few short words, but it was difficult to just guess. Get insight into those hidden secrets.
Hao Ren thought of the explanation of "special observer". Malkiri may have come from a civilization that accidentally understood the mysteries of time and space, and was able to observe the end of the universe. After the Lord destroyed the world, he came to explore the secrets of the Gorgon Abyss, but Hao Ren always had a vague resistance in his heart, making him unwilling to put too much weight on this explanation.
Because it is too far-fetched, although it can make sense, it is piled up by blunt guesswork.
Hao Ren always felt that the appearance of this "Malgiri" had a deeper meaning. This Laherien... I am afraid that it is not as simple as the fragments left after the collapse of the universe as previously guessed.
"He mentioned in his last words that 'all collapsed histories are tilted towards the source point'," the data terminal rearranged the information elements in the short message, and judged that this sentence has great value, "this description is very close' The collapse of the information level of the universe' is a typical feature of the end of the world, and according to the previous text of the message, this Malkiri said this because he "saw" something with his own eyes in the depths of the Gorgon Abyss .”
"All the history of collapse... According to Liya, the black pine forest, the Gorgon abyss, and the 'secret realms' similar to them can all be counted as the history of collapse," Hao Ren said while pinching his chin. In the post house in Frost Snow City, but his field of vision and most of his consciousness are on the side of the Gorgon Abyss, so it seems to others that he is standing alone in a dark room, talking to himself in a daze while making Weird movements, if there is an outsider passing by at this moment, they will definitely be shocked, "and lean towards the source point... This source point should refer to a certain 'point' at the end of the universe, it may be a point in time, or it may be The location, if it is the latter, then it should refer to Laherien? No... I always feel that it is not that simple... "
At this time, the data terminal suddenly said: "Maybe we should take a look at what the third probe sent. It found some interesting sights at the border of the Gorgon Abyss."
Hao Ren's tone rose slightly: "Oh? Synchronize your vision."
The image in front of him shook immediately, and the scene of Malkiri and the ruins of the asteroid factory was switched to another strange space. The moment he saw the scene in front of him, Hao Ren judged that this place was already located in Gore. The border area of the Tribute Abyss.
Because the world is divided into two distinct parts—on one side of the dividing line, there is the Gorgon Abyss filled with cloudy clouds and a dark red background, with huge space pumice stones and starship wreckage all over it, while on the other side of the dividing line On one side, there is a vast darkness, as if facing the darkness of an abyss.
Hao Ren frowned: "Is there anything here?"
The data terminal reminded him: "It cannot be observed with the naked eye, but it will be different with a filter..."
The probe activated its built-in multi-frequency filter, and Hao Ren's field of vision began to show some strange colors. As the collection range expanded from the visible light to the naked eye, those things that could not be observed by conventional methods finally emerged. In front of his eyes, he saw a crooked trace suddenly appearing in the boundless darkness beyond the boundary of the Gorgon Abyss. The trace was extremely wide and pale, and countless turtles could be seen around it. A tiny branch like a crack, it just floats out of thin air in the darkness that should be empty, divides the boundless space into two, and wriggles slowly as if alive.
"What is this?" Hao Ren was confused, "Is there a world rift in the Gorgon Abyss?"
"Although this machine knows that you are talking nonsense, sometimes nonsense can hit the truth by mistake..." the data terminal said quietly, "Although it has serious distortion and decay, according to the energy samples collected by the probe, This crack contains the divine power of the Goddess of Creation."
Hao Ren: "...wait a minute, that means this thing was thousands of years ago..."
"That's right, the shock wave of divine power that broke away from Leah's control thousands of years ago and completely destroyed the 'Old Laherien', this one before you is its aftermath. So in a sense, this crack It is indeed a world rift - a world rift in the material world that divides the planet Lahrion in two, but that is only a small part of the overall rift, and more of it extends into the 'underlying areas' like the Gorgon Depths ', and since the evolution of information in the underlying area has ceased, it has maintained the form of the divine shock wave until now, and will remain so forever."
"Can you still do this?"
"Of course, divine power can directly affect everything in the world regardless of the dimension and the boundary between reality and reality. Even if the universe collapses, it can't stop it from taking effect. That's why your boss' finger of death can damage the target and the eighteen generations of the target's ancestors." Instantly caused the same amount of real damage - it directly pierced through the world line!"
Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat: "Damn it... I thought it was Raven 12345 bragging..."
"Your work attitude is very problematic... But it's not important," the data terminal said indifferently, "The important thing is, do you still remember the sentence mentioned in Malkiri's last words—"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then the words came to mind: "'In that collapse point, I saw a crack that doesn't belong to our world'—the crack he mentioned is the one in front of us?!"
"It should be right."
"Wait a minute, this timeline is wrong!" Hao Ren subconsciously said, "Malgiri lived in the era before the formation of the Dark Realm, and I don't know how many years after that the Goddess of Creation's divine shock wave destroyed Laherien What just happened, where does Malkyi see it... wait a minute! No, the time here is already... "
"That's right, the time here has collapsed, so you shouldn't be obsessed with the time axis from the very beginning," said the data terminal, "and the dark realm has been attached to the world barrier of the dream plane from the very beginning. It is easy to cause information penetration and interference between them, so it is very likely that Malkiri saw the formation of the world rift in advance at a certain point in the distant past, but the reverse can also be true—the magician from the distant past Malkiri may have died in the Gorgon Abyss not long ago, or even a few minutes ago."
The vision sharing with the probe was cut off, Hao Ren covered his forehead and shook his head: "Damn chicken, so I don't like to study this kind of super-dimensional knowledge point the most, it's too meow tossing brain cells."
The data terminal gloated beside him: "Hehe, you didn't have any psychological pressure when you left Liya with homework?"
"I remembered what you said. I have to give her another set of papers on ultra-dimensional theory. I can't have a headache alone!"
The data terminal dangled in the air, and almost fell to the ground with a thud: "Is there anyone who treats your mother-in-law like this?! You are sure that she can't control Vivienne, right?"
"I'm sure she'll have to listen to me until she graduates from elementary school, and after that she'll have to listen to her mother. There's no way she'll have time to worry about other things," Hao Ren pouted, and then changed the subject. , "But I'm curious about one thing - if the 'time collapse in the deep world' allows Malkiri to observe the future is true, doesn't that mean the fall of the Creation Goddess and the reshaping of Laherien A series of events are 'doomed'? Can even gods be doomed?"
The data terminal shook its body: "So there should be more complicated mechanisms inside the 'Deep World'. Generally speaking, the time axis disorder caused by this kind of world collapse is a closed system, and the disordered time axis is limited to the birth of the world. During the time period until the destruction of the world, that is to say, the so-called time disorder is limited to "events that have already happened and ended", and the goddess of creation and her creation appeared after the destruction of the universe where Laherien lived. In theory, all traces would not be observed by Malkiri, but Malkiri has observed... "
Hao Ren frowned: "The closed system has become an open system? So the crack in the world that appeared after the time axis was closed was observed by Malkiri?"
"But it's almost impossible," the data terminal shook left and right, "'After the end of the world, the time axis in the world system will be closed, and all events that happen after that will be independent of the closed system', This is the original text in "Introduction to Annihilation" and "Doomsday Science". It is the inevitable law of the universe's operation without the intervention of the true God. So far, no natural time axis that has been closed after the doomsday has reopened to an open state has been observed. event."
"But Malkiri just saw the formation of a rift in the world-a person in a closed system sees the scene outside the system. How can this be explained?"
The blue light on the surface of the data terminal flickered violently. After a long period of high-intensity data calculations, it finally admitted its failure like never before: "There is not enough computing power to build this model."
Hao Ren sighed: "Oh, I can see that you have tried your best, and there is smoke coming out of your radiator."
"You don't need to care about these details," the data terminal said calmly while smoking, "Smoking from the heat sink is a consistent fine tradition of small computers."
Hao Ren confirmed that there was no risk of the data terminal being burned, so he shrugged and walked towards the large French window not far away.
Outside the window, the cold wind is howling, snowflakes are flying, and a blizzard is coming.
"Partner, do you want to investigate in that 'Old Palace'?"
"Forget it tonight, I want to sort out the information. Let's stay here for one more day, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
