"Okay, what I am going to say next is the truth about the changes in the entire universe. It is more important than everything you have experienced before and now. Let me tell you in advance that if you have any meeting agenda later, all of them have been postponed. ."
Han Xiao saw the disapproval of the three people and shook his head, his tone unquestionable.
"The truth of the universe?"
The three of Mabrus looked at each other in confusion. Seeing that Han Xiao didn't seem to be joking, they couldn't help but be doubtful.
Han Xiao snapped his fingers and summoned a virtual screen, which played a virtual scene of the birth and death of the universe, and began to explain:
"When the universe comes to an end, everything will Returning to nothingness, heat death, big collapse and other phenomena are the endings of the universe that many scientists have guessed or foreseen. Various signs and experiments have shown that these are likely to be correct doomsday models, but this is only under normal circumstances... But The direction of our universe does not follow the most primitive laws of nature. A long time ago, our universe was transformed by an ultimate civilization. The underlying laws of the information state changed. When our universe ends, what awaits us is not heat. Silence or collapse, but a phenomenon called the Great Reset."
"The Great Reset?"
The three of them looked puzzled.
It is not that there are no similar conjectures in the scientific research community, but it is not a mainstream statement and is not supported by decisive evidence. Most of the testimonies come from some unknown items generated by information state disturbances, such as the virtual mutiny virus that year, which is suspected to be Civilization before the Great Reset. But it is not enough to be used as ironclad evidence, because it is not sure whether it is a civilization that has not explored the universe, or a civilization that is earlier in the timeline.
So Ma Bruce and the other three are no strangers to the concept of this term, but they are quite confused as to why Han Xiao is so sure of the existence of the Great Reset.
Han Xiao glanced at the expressions of the three people and said slowly:
"The great restart I am talking about is different from what you understand... The ultimate civilization versus the universe The transformation of the underlying laws has caused the universe to deviate from the law of natural end, so the time for the end has been brought forward much earlier. Every major restart is a new iteration, and new civilizations are reproducing in the universe that has returned to zero. However, due to factors such as the greatly shortened development time, the possibility of each iterative civilization being stronger than the ultimate civilization that laid the foundation for the great restart is infinitely reduced."
"So this is bad news?" Mabrus pondered. , "In this case, if all civilizations develop from scratch, wouldn't it mean that no one can survive the end of the universe and achieve the so-called...how do you say that buzzword, transcendence?"
Han Xiao shook his head, " This is the point I want to make... Although the Great Reset returns the universe to zero, things from different iterations will be passed on to new iterations in special ways, and this medium is the sanctuary that is in your heart. ”
< p>The three of them were slightly startled.Han Xiao said to himself: "The goal of the original ultimate civilization to transform the universe was to continue their civilization through restarting. They failed, butIt was not in vain, the Sanctuary is their legacy. It was originally a reserved fire storage, but special information alienation occurred during the iterations, turning it into the Sanctuary it is today. This is the only one currently known that will not Things that disappeared in the Great Reboot.
The function of the sanctuary is to store the information state developed in each iteration, and at each major restart, a part of the information is randomly integrated into the new iteration of the universe laws. Therefore, when the universe is restarted, it does not completely return to zero. Instead, the underlying laws continue to change in each iteration. In this way, the results of each iteration are passed on to subsequent iterations. For example, the current secondary dimensional world is The legacy of past iterations is not a naturally occurring phenomenon. "
"So what you are saying is...the universe we live in at this time is not the most original universe, but a world that has been changed countless times? The Sanctuary is equivalent to a... uh, processor? "Louis asked tentatively.
Han Xiao nodded: "Almost, generations of civilizations have regarded the Sanctuary as a breakthrough to survive the Great Reset, so the Sanctuary has continuously mutated various new functions. Sanctuary Revival is just one of them. The most important thing about the sanctuary is that it stores all the information of all iterations of civilization in the past, as well as their last words before the end of the world, all for future generations to refer to. This is a long relay that spans countless iterations, just for someone to one day This cycle can be broken. ”
Hearing this, the three of them looked surprised. Although Han Xiao’s tone was very calm, they couldn’t help but secretly be distracted by such a grand undertaking when they thought of the sight of generations of civilizations relaying for the same goal. .
But after two seconds, the three of them came back to their senses, and their breathing suddenly became heavy for a moment.
At this moment, they suddenly realized that if what Black Star said was true, then The information of each iteration of civilization stored in the sanctuary is an inestimable and terrifying wealth.
And Black Star controls this wealth alone. If they don't tell it, they can't get involved at all, but he doesn't do it himself. Develop, but choose to speak out, is it so selfless?
Because of this, the three people were even more shocked at the moment, and they fell silent for a while, silently digesting the shock in their hearts. /p>
After a while, the leader of the Void Spirit Church hesitantly spoke and asked tentatively: "Is it because you want to cooperate with us to develop the sanctuary because you have to survive the Great Reset? Although what you just said is indeed shocking, let me put it bluntly: the so-called great restart is still far away from us, right? Isn’t it too early to worry about this matter now?”
Hearing this, Han Xiao showed a half-smiling expression, “You think it’s too early? "
"Hmm..." Seeing this, the leader of the Void Spirit couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in shock: "Could it be that our universe has reached the end and a great reset is coming? "
The other two people were shocked, with expressions of shock and disbelief.
"We finally defeated the World Tree Civilization and enjoyed the rare ease. Unexpectedly..." Ma Bruce has mixed feelings
However, Han Xiao shook his head, "You misunderstood, our iteration is still early in the final stage."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
But before they could completely relax, Han Xiao suddenly said something shocking, making the three of them stunned.
"But you have already restarted."
The words fell
The head of the Void Spirit shook his body and his face was full of astonishment.
"What do you mean?"
"Four times." Han Xiao raised four fingers and said slowly: "Our universe has restarted four times... …In the last iteration, you were the ultimate civilization. You launched a program called Information State Stripping and successfully survived the Great Reset. However, you did not really enter the new universe of the next iteration, but became a closed darkness. Facing the universe, it is recycling and restarting itself... In other words, you are all people who have died several times, but you just don't know it yet!"
The three of them were confused and shocked for a moment! At a loss.
Han Xiao has been logging in and out of the First Sanctuary during this period. The time consumed each time is getting shorter and shorter. Until the authority reaches the fifteenth level, the time flow rate finally converges. , the time ratio between the main universe and the sanctuary is one to one, and all the contents of the message board are unlocked.
At this point, Han Xiao gradually understood everything. The messages in the fourth to last paragraph to the first to last paragraph in the sanctuary were actually all left by the iteration of the "Three Major Civilizations"!
The Alliance of Stars is located in the fifth section from the bottom. It is the last iteration of the three major civilizations. The fourth section from the bottom is the new iteration after the great restart. The three major civilizations are the ultimate civilizations developed in the new iteration. During that period, there was no such thing as a "World Tree". The three major civilizations slowly multiplied, and finally successfully discovered the Sanctuary and learned all the information about iteration.
Because the plan of the previous iteration of the Star Alliance was very desirable, the three major civilizations inherited it and improved it, forming the "Information State Stripping Plan".
However, the three major civilizations at that time knew very well that based on their accumulation, they were not absolutely sure to survive the Great Reset, and they did not want to put all their efforts into it. Therefore, the real goal of this plan was not to completely overcome the Great Reset, but to prepare for the Great Reset for itself. Buying more time - peeling off the information state of the entire universe, trying to imitate the operations of the Star Alliance, existing in the new iteration as a secondary dimension, the dark side universe, and constantly restarting the cycle.
The difference is that the three major civilizations followed the ideas of the Star Alliance and stood on the shoulders of giants to make almost perfect improvements, so they successfully peeled off the entire iteration of the "information state" , in the next iteration, a closed dark side universe was formed, existing based on the information state, like a "virtual" world, "developing in parallel" at a faster time flow... Just like parallel lines, it is difficult to compare with the "real" The iterative main universes intersect and are difficult to interfere with each other.
After learning all the contents of the message board, Han Xiao sorted out the time relationship - assuming that the Alliance of Stars is the first iteration, then the three major civilizations are the ultimate civilizations of the second iteration, startingThe information state stripping plan has transformed into the dark side universe of the third iteration, and the third iteration is the current real iteration.
... It was only here that Han Xiao learned that the Sanctuary did not reserve an empty information state shell for the current iteration, and there was no such thing as a "tombstone". The empty light balls of the three major civilizations and the World Tree Civilization that I saw in the sanctuary are actually the remnants of the second iteration. The reason why there is no content in them is because they were "stripped out" and became the third iteration. The dark side of the universe.
However, the cycle of the dark side universe is not as static as the Star Alliance, but has formed a "small restart" operating pattern. The three major civilizations of the second iteration took advantage of each " The feature of adding new laws when "Cosmic Restart" brings the cycle restart of the dark side universe into the scope of influence of the Sanctuary.
Different from the "big restart", each "small restart" of the dark side universe is not reset to zero, but is based on the established information state template. In other words, there will inevitably be "three major reboots". "Civilization" and other forces, before the three major civilizations came into contact with the Sanctuary, their development trajectories were basically the same... Han Xiao called this situation "dark side iteration".
Therefore, when the dark side universe is restarted each time, the improved results of the previous dark side iteration will be added, but there is a probability of "information alienation"... The three major civilizations use this method as their own Buy time and get more opportunities for trial and error.
But this plan cannot bring eternity. After calculation, the information state stripping plan has an upper limit. Their dark side universe can only exist in the third iteration at most. If a big restart occurs again, it will enter the fourth iteration. If they iterate, their dark side universe will disappear...unless they can enter the real iteration main universe from the dark side universe, transforming from "virtual" to "real".
So, after the three major civilizations successfully entered the dark side universe, their goal became to break the seal of the dark side universe and return to the true main universe of the third iteration.
——The third to last paragraph to the first paragraph of the Sanctuary message board represent the three dark side iterations of the dark side universe. Han Xiao is currently in the fourth dark side iteration. These four dark side iterations all occurred within the period of iteration No. 3.
Because the sanctuary is not affected by iterations, the three major civilizations use the sanctuary message board to record the experience of each trial and error, so that the "self" of the next dark side iteration can be based on the last experience. Improve the route through experience, and also create some key devices to improve the situation of the next dark side iteration...and this is the origin of the World Tree.
The three major civilizations added information materialization devices in the second dark side iteration (the penultimate message), but information alienation occurred in the third dark side iteration, from a mechanical device to a He broke into the vital World Tree and went berserk... This was Han Xiao's experience as a player in his previous life.
In the end, the three major civilizations of the third dark side iteration opened the sanctuary and understood everything, so they left the control valve of the information realization device to generate information in the current fourth dark side iteration. Alienation, inherited the nature of restraintThe qualitative relationship, only the form of expression mutated, and became the natural enemy of the world tree, that is, the pivot snake.
On the other hand, in the second dark side iteration, the three major civilizations used information realization devices that had not yet mutated, but ultimately failed. The reason was found to be the lack of a bridge to the "real state", and the so-called Han Xiao also understood the concept of "real state", which actually refers to the information carrier that exists in the iterative real universe.
In other words, the dark side universe must form an information connection with the iterative real universe and be able to interfere with each other, so that the information realization device can be effective. Therefore, the three major civilizations of the second dark side iteration launched a plan. Try to change the underlying laws of the next dark side iteration, so that the angles of the two "parallel lines" of the dark side universe and the iterated real universe will shift and eventually intersect.
The result is that, in the third iteration of the dark side, the underlying laws of the dark side universe have changed, successfully projected itself into "reality", and successfully obtained part of the information carrier of the iterated real universe, that is, The existence of "players" - through "logging in", this group of individuals living in the iterative real universe can transform their "real state" into an "information state" and pull it into the dark side universe to form information entanglement. Serving as an information interface... This is exactly what countless players experienced in Han Xiao's previous life.
However, the World Tree Rampage incident occurred in the third dark side iteration. After the World Tree War in the previous life, the three major civilizations obtained the access to the sanctuary from the Covenant Organization, learned everything, and inherited countless civilizations. The foundation and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds. At a level beyond the reach of players, the three major civilizations have formulated new plans, pooling the power of civilizations to create a "control valve" for World Tree, and at the same time reduce the cost of processing World Tree's rampage for the fourth dark side iteration.
In addition, due to player version updates, the three major civilizations of the third dark side iteration believed that this form of "real state" bridge was not stable enough, so they decided to spend a huge amount of resources to build the next version. Dark side iteration strengthens “real state” connections.
Because the dark side universe and the iterative real universe have already formed preliminary information interference, the three major civilizations decided to build a stable interference bridge instead of intermittent like landing. The only objects they can choose are the individual records of information that have landed in the dark side universe, so they randomly select objects from them, completely enter the dark side universe, and form a stable connection.
As long as this idea is correct, the dark side universe can undergo reverse transformation through this interference bridge, transforming from the "information state" to the "real state", breaking away from the closure, and returning to the iterative real universe... Let's change it to a better understanding The method is just like installing a loading package for the so-called "reality", and the content inside contains the entire dark side universe and the entire star sea world.
This is the true situation that Han Xiao learned from the Sanctuary, and there is no record of what happened next on the Sanctuary message board.
After learning all this, he had a rough guess about what happened next, and quite suspected that the reason why he was "reborn and traveled" was actually the randomly selected person who became a special person.The "stable interference bridge" between the strong dark side universe and the iterative real universe information entanglement.
My own information state was completely captured, and I came to this dark side universe from "reality", so I disappeared in "reality", and there is no more information about myself... I haven't seen him in all these years. There is another self who should be a "player", and Han Xiao is very suspicious that this is the reason.
The fourth dark side iteration of the dark side universe caused the time of iteration of the real universe to go back ten years. The message board has related records and explanations. Han Xiao is not sure why, but he guessed This is because when the third dark side iteration "captures" itself, the degree of interference with the information of the iteration's real universe deepens, thus affecting the other party's time. However, it is not yet known whether this is a universe-wide time reversal or a small-scale one. Changes... But from another perspective, this is also evidence of the correctness of the dark side universe's idea of using the "real state" to generate information entanglement, which can already produce substantial changes in the iterative real universe.
Han Xiao has roughly pieced together the various causes and consequences through the Sanctuary records and his own guesses. In his opinion, the reliability of this series of guesses has reached more than 70%.
Han Xiao hid part of the speculation and explained the secrets.
After hearing all this, Mabrus, Lewis, and the Void Spirit leader had only expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces. They looked at Han Xiao blankly, their mouths slightly open, and they were completely confused. .
"This, this..."
The leader of Xuling was stunned.
Although they, as the heads of the three major civilizations, have seen countless storms and waves, the information Han Xiao told at this time was beyond their acceptance range, and their brains were short-circuited.
After a long time, Ma Bruce turned to look at Lewis, with a hesitant tone:
"Um...do you understand?"
"I I don’t know either…” Mabrus replied blankly.
