Y'zaks recounted the past, maybe it was too long ago, and his recollection was a bit messy, but what impressed him the most and still fresh in his memory was that the weird old human man was caught by the demon guards after the reaction.
"He's not afraid of me at all, it's useless even when I stand in front of him in my original form," Y'zaks felt a little unbelievable now thinking about it, "The flame on my body ignited his robe, but the old man Just casually smacking the flames off the robe and seriously asking me to put him back so he could continue the experiment—I'd never seen a guy like that before, and thought it was a lot of fun, and gave him two options.
"I told him that because he is a very interesting human being and has brought me great freshness, I can be extra merciful and let him choose two paths. The first choice is to spare his life and he can be free Leave this place, but don't take anything with you, because those things are the spoils of the demon army. The second option is that I allow him to go back and continue the experiment, but he will only have one year of life left. After death, his soul to me."
Y'zaks suddenly made a grimace when he said this, and of course he might just have rolled his eyes—after all, this big brother's face usually looks like a grimace, and any expression he makes is too eloquent. : "Recalling it now, I really feel a little... um, shame. I was young at that time, so I wanted to catch up with the fashion, and get some flair. At that time, this was popular among demons, frightening humans, and fulfilling a wish. , Take away the soul or something, so that you can show your 'kingdom'. At that time, I thought about it, a normal human being must choose to live at this time, but the old man surprised me again."
"He chose to stay and do the experiment, right?" Hao Ren had expected it. Such a story was not surprising to him, but it must have been something new to Y'zaks back then. "What is he researching?" What?"
"Studying the universe, studying what's outside the 'space bubble'," Y'zaks nodded. "I didn't understand this at the time. I just felt that this old human man was really interesting. He was crazy, and he dared to challenge the devil, so I let him continue the experiment. In the end, the guy really thanked him and turned his head back to himself. In his laboratory, he continued to conduct research in the ruins of the kingdom where demons gathered. This time I couldn't control my curiosity, so I went to see what he was researching.
"Then he told me about his 'space bubble zone' conjecture, just like a teacher educating students, he didn't care about my demon status at all. He stuffed me a book seriously, and then stood in front of his test bench and talked about it. Get up. He mentioned a very novel conjecture, which has never been conceived by scholars of various races before—you remember I told you just now that the space structure in my hometown is different from other universes? Our existence There are many fragmented space "capsule" structures, and the entire universe seems to be composed of such small bubbles. There are no celestial structures as large as the Milky Way in the "capsules", and most of them are occupied by a continent or a star. It is a space bubble that is as big as it is. The human old man called this structure "space bubble area", and strictly classified each type of space bubble. He has been studying these things all his life, and put forward a guess: the space bubble area It's not the real face of the universe. It's just a distorted and abnormal galaxy. He found that many physical laws in the space bubble area are problematic, so he guessed that the entire bubble area was not formed naturally, but after some kind of celestial body change several years ago .It was twisted and smashed from a normal large galaxy. He thinks that the space bubble area is actually just a very inconspicuous small oasis in the real universe, and it is a very unstable and abnormal oasis. The truly endless world is outside —As long as you cross the outermost space bubble, you can see the endless starry sky.”
When Y'zaks said this, he exhaled suddenly: "It's like the starry sky I saw in your world."
Hao Ren thought for a while: "... this place has been smoggy for more than a year, can you see the stars?"
Y'zaks rolled his eyes and patted Hao Ren's shoulder: "So what Vivian said is right, your mouth evolved to be useful for eating and drinking!"
Hao Ren smiled awkwardly: "Go on, go on."
"Our world can't see the starry sky like yours here," Yizaks took a sip of his wine, "looking up at the sky in space capsules or space bubbles, what we see are all kinds of weird things There are planets, there are auroras. There are phantoms of nearby space, and occasionally a few stars, but never a picture of a sky full of stars. For thousands of years, our people have regarded this as normal, only that The human old man felt that something was wrong. He somehow calculated the theoretical size of the universe and found that the size was astonishingly large, so he desperately tried to find out where the boundary of the space bubble region is. According to you, he should be a scientific genius—but in In our world, he was just a lunatic, and he was born in a small human country ruled by idiots, so he was an annoying lunatic, so he was so downcast when I first met him. In our world There, as an alchemist, if he can't make war weapons useful to the country or luxuries useful to the nobles, he will fail, and that old man can only study stars and space, so he is excluded by everyone, if not His father's aristocratic blood, he will even be kicked out from the royal city."
Yizaks paused, with a strange smile on his face: "The irony is that this 'waste alchemist' who has been excluded in human society finally built his long-awaited large-scale experiment in the demon kingdom. All kinds of advanced equipment that were not manufactured in the human kingdom were later created in the demon world."
Hao Ren could almost guess what was going to happen after hearing this: "So under the leadership of this scientist, you broadened your horizons and discovered that the stars and the sea are the romance of men, so start planning for world unity..."
Facts have proved that Hao Ren's thoughts are only suitable for appearing in the story. The real situation may not be so good. Izaks shook his head on the spot: "No, I didn't have such a high awareness in the beginning. I was just like everyone else. One thing - if the 'space bubble' theory is true, then what the world thinks of as the entire universe is actually such a small piece, whoever can touch where the boundary of the bubble is is equivalent to getting the infinity Endless territories—that's as simple as I thought."
Hao Ren: "..."
"So the only difference between me and others is that others don't believe that little old man's words, but I do." I'zaks grinned, making another grimace with a slapstick effect, "I think there are endless The territory can be conquered, and this can show my strength, so I decided to support the research project of the little old man, I made him my chief scholar, responsible for finding the boundary of the space bubble area. And my change of thought was after that A matter of hundreds of years.
"The little old man's research is indeed not a feverish delusion. He spent most of his life calculating the whole world, and he has found the law of the interconnection of the space bubble area, but he has not yet found the law outside the bubble area. Among his semi-finished products With the help of my results, I opened up territory more than twice as fast as other demons, which made me more and more believe in the theory of the space bubble zone, and actively searched for ways to break through it. It was during this process that I slowly To discover the vastness of the universe, to discover the blindness of all races fighting in the world—
"It's ironic, I am the demon who provoked the most wars, but I was also the first demon to discover the blindness of war.
"In a certain year, I formed an expeditionary force to explore the edge of the 'world' according to the teleportation rules developed by the little old man. I personally led the team. This exploration was not successful, but we went farther than anyone else I have seen amazing realms that no one has ever discovered: storms covering the entire planet, atmospheric bridges spanning two binary stars, deadly cosmic environments, and many other things. I was directly exposed to space in a teleportation accident, and more than half of the casualties were on the spot. My most powerful general was captured by a dim planet, and instantly disappeared. During that ten-year journey, I saw indescribable great power, No race in the world—even powerful creatures like demons—couldn’t resist the mighty force of nature. Countless races blindly competed for the leftovers in the space bubble, and no one ever thought that outside that small world, shrouded What a great truth.
"The little old man was also in the expeditionary army. I transformed him into a half-demon so that he could study the secrets of the universe for me for a longer period of time. But even then he reached the limit of human life. He signed up for the expeditionary army. Just so that he could see with his own eyes the things in his calculations before he died.
"In the end we failed to reach the border of the space bubble area, and the little old man suffered high-energy ray radiation on the day the expeditionary force decided to return, and died soon.
"Before he died, he told me a sentence: fly to such a far place, look back at the direction you came from, and everyone will find that you were a fool.
"So I led the expeditionary force back, and in the second year, I started my unified war plan." (To be continued~^~)
