Chapter 893 Enlightenment and the Essence of the Power of the Three Ranks

Li Qi had a premonition that he would end the cause and effect between himself and the demon path in the Desire Realm, but... he did not expect that after the universe of the Desire Realm completely withered, a large amount of information poured out, which directly made him understand the connection between the Desire Realm and his "Dojo".

After the Desire Realm withered and collapsed, Li Qi noticed that at least eight third-grade members of the Death Demon lineage sent him messages, and they became "nodding acquaintances".

In other words, all these people participated in this action.

Nine... plus himself, that's ten.

Ten third-grade members prompted the withering of the Desire Realm itself, allowing these third-grade Death Demons to complete a super-huge experiment equivalent to the real universe, just like raising a hamster in the entire universe.

How many civilizations were there in this process?

It is difficult to count, and it is impossible to count them clearly.

There is more than one civilization in a world, especially in high-quality worlds. For example, a fourth-grade world may be several observable universes, hundreds of billions of light years in size, with countless super-galaxy clusters and stars. Different lives may be born on each planet and even on a star. There are countless civilizations, more than the dust in the nebula.

Of course, a fourth-grade world may only be tens of millions of miles in length and width, but the quality of life in it is ridiculously high. It all depends on the nature of the world.

But even so, how many fourth-grade worlds are there in the Desire Realm?

It is true that there are no non-magic paths above the third grade in the Desire Realm, that is to say, the third-grade worlds in the Desire Realm are all private property of a third-grade magic path, so they will not be affected, but even so, the worlds below the fourth grade, different civilizations, and different histories, all withered in an instant.

In this withering process, how much information about death did they gain? And how many possibilities can this information help them deduce? Not to mention the help of the Death Demon Daoyun.

After Li Qi realized this, he paid attention to it.

They have to get as much benefit as they have, otherwise they can't afford these risks.

As if they noticed Li Qi's action, the third-rank members of the Death Demon lineage laughed: "Don't worry, we have no intention of breaking the agreement."

"This is definitely an equal transaction."

After speaking, the last layer of "reality" of the Desire Realm completely collapsed.

The "surface" of the Desire Realm, that is, the "reality" composed of thoughts and minds, completely disappeared. At this moment, the Desire Realm "died".

In the entire Desire Realm, no "basic unit" exists, so time and space have lost their meaning.

But the next moment, another basic unit appeared and supported the end.

That is...

The power of the Heavenly Demon!

No, that is not power, that is the information created by the Heavenly Demon.

But...the two seem to be equivalent.

Information is power, and power is actually the ability to write information.

So the Heavenly Demon left information, so he also left power.

And this information was also interpreted by Li Qi, just like what happened to the evil spirit.

Some garbled codes just completed Li Qi's puzzle.

At this moment, Li Qi finally got the secret he hoped for!

His premonition was confirmed here——

"The three-grade itself... is the basic source."

"History is composed of at least the existence of the three-grade, and all the "past" is also composed of this. In other words... the three-grade and everything that exists on it are all everything."

Li Qi muttered to himself in his heart.

'I' am about to experience, 'I' am experiencing, 'I' have experienced.

The three-grades are in one of these states.

Of course, there is also the possibility that they will never experience it, but that doesn't matter. It just means that they are in a state. For them, no matter who they are, they come from the past, but only exist in the present.

The existence of the three-grades is like time itself. It seems to be always moving forward, but if one day, as time itself, it suddenly gets tired of gathering into a beam and moving forward, it will go to the direction it wants to go at will. Unfortunately, because everything in time lives in time, it naturally cannot bear such casualness. They will also be distorted by time and produce various paradoxes.

But in fact, there is no paradox at all.

Time is always moving forward relative to itself, or... for the three-rank people, it is always moving forward. It is the other three-rank people and the mortals in time who feel them running around.

Suppose, in a world where the timeline is suddenly chaotic. From a puppy, to a person, to a super-intelligence composed of a galaxy cluster, each of them is trapped in the time and space where time collapses. How will all this work? And how will it return to normal in the end?

The timelines that are entangled with each other, just like the relationship between the three-rank people, ignore the past and the future and become a mess.

Time has given up its original orderliness... No, time does not originally have any "orderliness".

In the eyes of mortals, what is the operating logic of all this?

When the three-rank people can modify the past infinitely and perceive the infinitely distant future, any new problem will become a solved problem at any time.

Even the problems of the future can be shared with countless "pasts" in the past, and as long as someone solves the problem at a certain time point, then for the three-rank people and above, they have understood the problem since the Big Bang.

For mortals, the "history" of the third rank itself is a closed time-like curve. If they look at it from the perspective of mortals, they can only see the ultimate observation of the third rank at the end of time.

But all this is only the perspective of mortals, but this is also Li Qi's previous perspective.

If from the perspective of the third rank

He finally understood why these "secrets" could not be spoken or recorded.

Because... "recording" itself is useless.

How do you "record" the present?

Yes, now.

Li Qi had already understood that there was no past or future, all time, everything was only the "present", but he actually had no sense of reality, because for Li Qi, the past still existed, and he was indeed made up of the "past".

For the third rank, this is completely realistic.

No third rank depends on the "past" to exist.

All the "past", all the "history", are essentially the "present" of the third rank, and are part of the "third rank" that exists at this moment.

Therefore, you cannot get records of history above the third rank from anywhere else.

Suppose you read a book and learned about the history that happened millions of years ago, and took it into your mind as "memory" and "knowledge".

Then after you finished reading the book, the author of the book... ate the book, suddenly changed the settings, and changed all the previous stories.

So, what is the meaning of the knowledge you read before, except as a "story"?

Then everything has become false, never happened, or... it only happened in the mind of the third grade, it is true for the third grade, but not necessarily for others.

Therefore, "records" are meaningless, and "history" is also meaningless.

If you want to understand the past, you can only rely on understanding the present.

But the truly meaningful "present" can only be achieved by the existence of the third grade and above.

To explain this point, you need to understand what "time and space" is.

What is space? What is time?

Assume that the universe is static, and there is only one indivisible "basic unit" in the entire universe, then... there is no space, because the essence of space is the interval between "basic units", and there is no time, because time is used to measure the changes in the movement of "basic units". Without space, there is naturally no time.

An indivisible basic unit has neither measurable intervals nor any changes. Time and space do not exist in it at all. At this time, there is naturally no history in any sense.

If the universe has two such basic units, there will be space representing the interval and time representing the change of the interval, so all changes will occur.

These two basic units will represent the distance at a certain moment. Then in this space, as their distance changes, these two basic units in the universe will have a "record" of being close and far away at one moment, so "history" is born.

So, now the universe has three "basic units", then for each moment, the distance between these three "basic units" needs three numbers to represent, if the universe has four "basic units", then the distance between these four "basic units" at each moment needs more numbers to represent...

By analogy, if there are many basic units, then it will form an extremely complex space-time.

Then, let's expand our thinking.

In this space, there are events, which can be called points in space-time.

So... are these "events" indivisible "basic units"?

If you go from one event to the next at a speed lower than the speed of light, then everything is normal, and the events will be arranged in a causal relationship, and you will see that everything is changing in order.

But if you exceed the limit of the speed of light, the space-time order is broken, and only events exist in the universe, but they are no longer related to each other, just like those indivisible basic units, a closed time-like curve jumps from one event to another, regardless of any assumed causal order.

All the "events" that exist alone are "reality".

All the basic units in the universe are "realities" frozen in time. Each "reality" is an indivisible basic unit, containing different possibilities of the history of the universe. Arrange the "realities" one by one, and you will see the activities of all the "realities" in the universe, that is, depicting the history of the universe, the present of the universe, and the future of the universe.

The location and moment of these "realities", every change they make, will give birth to the complete universe seen by all things.

This is the nature of the existence of the three categories. These "realities", these isolated "events", these indivisible "basic units", are "points" existing in the vast universe.

All these "points", they are called "three categories".

This is why history can be changed.

History is twisted from one side and then twisted back, and the timeline is endlessly modified, because all "time" and "space" itself are defined by these indivisible "basic units of reality".

In this case, all information is untrue, all records are unreliable, everything experienced in the last second and the next second may be false, only the ‘reality’ is real and credible.

This has nothing to do with the truth or falsity of the information itself, it just means that the past that caused the current situation is likely to have changed.

Li Qi reads history books and learns about something, such as a big man killed another big man, which led to something happening. He knows all this, so when he uses this information to do things, he may find that... things are different from what he thought, because this thing has disappeared and he can't use it.

This is very troublesome, this information changes too fast and will become invalid anytime and anywhere.

Therefore...

The entity of the third grade is ‘history itself’.

If Li Qi wants to understand those secrets, all he can do is read the real thing of being a third grade, otherwise he will never understand the real history.

Only the reality of the third grade, that is, ‘everything that the third grade has experienced himself’, is the history that is certain and will not change.

No... it will also change, as long as the third grade dies, everything may be modified.

But at least before the other party dies, all of this will be fixed by the other party, because these pasts are an important part of the three grades, and are also the real "building materials" of the entire universe.

Yes, building materials, Li Qi can only understand it this way.

These important experiences constitute the three grades, and the three grades use themselves as "basic units" to jointly constitute the essence of time and space, that is, to "define" time.

Just like what I just said.

If the universe has only one basic unit, there will be no time and space.

The universe needs at least two basic units to constitute the basic elements of time and space, namely: motion, reference system, and interval of three points.

If there is only one, it is stillness.

And as the "basic units" increase, its complexity will also increase exponentially.

This is the unspeakable truth, because... the information you get from all non-three-grade channels is actually uncertain, and it is an illusion that can be changed and switched at any time.

Just like... the desire world at this moment.

The desire world quickly "retraces".

In the face of some unspeakable power, the desire world returns to the moment of "initial opening".

"The answer has been revealed, Li Qi, do you have any other requests? If not, you can pay the remaining Dao Yun." Lou Nei Fa said calmly. (End of this chapter)
