Chapter 914: New Appearance of the Universe

In the distance, Li Qi counted with his fingers.

Well, his sixth sense always felt something was not right, but he could not figure it out, which meant that the matter might involve something at a higher level.

It was normal. The universe was in a turbulent time. With so many things happening, it was natural that he felt something was wrong.

But there was a problem.

However, he was already a third-grade cultivator now, which meant that he could no longer wait for things to come to him. If he wanted to create a safe environment for himself, he had to take the initiative.

Moreover, he did not have much time left. It had been hundreds of thousands of years since he was promoted to the third-grade cultivator, and his cultivation was almost stable. He would probably have to join the war soon.

Disciple... there should be no problem. With Yao Ji here, he could also ask her to come over if there was anything.

The two sisters Shen Shuibi and Yang Ning left. They probably had some private conversations, and it was not convenient for him to eavesdrop.

Then...

Let's go, solve the previous problems, and get to know the current universe.

Li Qi's body disappeared from Xuanjing Mountain and appeared outside the domain.

But... it can no longer be called outside the domain now.

The structure of the universe has been completely changed. Today, the universe no longer has the division of "worlds". All matter is evenly distributed.

There is just one problem.

The total mass of matter has increased by at least 9 trillion times. This is just Li Qi's estimate. It will only be more, not less.

"Is it because of the different annihilation rates?" Li Qi guessed.

In the early days of the universe, positive and negative matter were equal.

The reason is also very simple. As long as we create a positive matter, we will leave a corresponding hole in the vacuum. This hole is its antimatter.

If positive and negative particles collide, they will soon annihilate, and then fill the hole, leaving a "ripple" in the vacuum sea, which is new "energy".

This is a manifestation of the symmetry of the universe. Everything is symmetrical.

However, the breaking of symmetry leads to the occurrence of problems. Once the symmetry is broken, the positive and negative matter are no longer symmetrical, and one side has one billionth more. This one billionth of the debris constitutes the material universe on the surface.

The reason why only the so-called "positive matter" was left in the end was actually because the positive matter was left. In essence, the status of matter and antimatter is completely equivalent. There is no priority over the other. The two are antimatter to each other, just like the mutual transformation of yin and yang fish.

Although they were equal at the beginning, in the process of cooling the universe, the universe interfered with by the powerful eventually destroyed the law of conservation, resulting in an asymmetry in the number of positive and antimatter.

Just by controlling this annihilation rate, the total amount of conventional macroscopic matter can be controlled.

Even more than that.

At the beginning of the universe, when the earliest symmetry breaking appeared, the differentiation of super force was completely reversible.

The Monkey King's stick knocked out the super force, and then under the subsequent influence, the super force expanded and decomposed into different basic forces again. Then, as long as the decomposition of super force is controlled and the ratio between various basic forces is manipulated, the annihilation rate of positive and antimatter, the birth speed of matter, chemical properties, and even more basic things like the speed of light can be adjusted.

The ratio between the basic forces controls the most basic physical constants. As long as this is controlled, everything in the material universe can be manipulated at will.

Any fantastic material can be created, any mysterious substance can be made through different proportions.

Reaching the third rank, the refiner can create incredible props, and he needs to use this property to create a brand-new super magic weapon directly from the essence of matter.

Therefore, in the complete reshaping of the entire universe, the annihilation rate was adjusted, resulting in a nine trillion-fold increase in the total amount of matter.

Really...

Awesome.

The gravitational constant has also changed, and the Schwarzschild radius of the birth of Guixu has also become problematic. There are more neutron degenerate substances, and Guixu is more difficult to form.

Generally speaking, so much matter will definitely lead to a large-scale collapse, but because of the change in constants, the matter can be evenly distributed in space.

But it is not so even, because gravity still exists after all, and the existence of the giant attractor pulls part of the matter and pulls each other apart, forming a special mesh structure.

Because of the existence of the speed of light, the edge of this mesh structure is the "horizon" that mortals cannot break through, the dividing point of time and space, and the absolute barrier that cannot be broken through without exceeding the speed of light. For them, this is the "edge of the universe".

The giant attractor and the absolute barrier constitute a series of bubble-like "single universes", and the edges of the observable universe form separate areas.

The existence of the "world" has disappeared, and there is no longer a world barrier to plan other things. All matter is distributed in the universe, freely forming celestial bodies, and then freely gathering together according to gravity.

Countless single universes are combined together to form the current universe pattern.

And...

Mortals have also changed.

The history of this universe has changed since the beginning, and the history of mortals has also changed completely. The reason for all this comes from the changes of the third grade.

In this process, dozens of third grades have been reduced to zero. In Li Qi's opinion, it is very likely because their history anchored the history that the first grade wanted to change.

Their existence blocks the way, so just pull them out directly, so that the history they have fixed will not cause obstacles, which is actually a kind of "spread".

However, there should be only a very small number of unlucky third-rank people, that is, the dozens, and most of the third-rank people will be as peaceful as Li Qi.

It can't be said that they are all peaceful. Reality is relative and linked. Li Qi's past has indeed been changed, but they are not unable to accept this change. After all, it is not a big deal. They still maintain their subjectivity.

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the third-rank is an unchangeable reality, in fact, history is information engraved on the basic unit of the third-rank, and the third-rank is the cornerstone of reality.

Time and space can only be formed based on the basic unit of the third-rank. For the existence of the third-rank and above, there is no history at all, only the present.

And the existence of the third-rank is the cornerstone of the present.

The same is true for Li Qi and other third-rank people. If history is changed, it means that they accept the change. If they do not accept it, history will be anchored by the reality of the third-rank itself.

Then, in practice, if the first-rank officials want to change the present and make reality tend to the future they want, they have to change the information of the past.

In other words, to change history, they need to change the third-rank officials, which are the cornerstone of history.

This is the same as the essence of the third-rank officials' "choosing the future". In fact, many third-rank officials also change it every day, which is also the reason for the continuous backtracking. The three-rank war will start to infinitely backtrack and create extreme environments to torture each other.

In this sense, as long as the third-rank officials are willing to give in, they will never die. As long as they are shrinking enough, no one will bother the third-rank officials.

These are all trivial matters, so they can be changed. Li Qi chose the future every day before he reached the third-rank, and there was no problem.

But some unlucky people are different. The things they want to change will be major changes to themselves.

If they accept these changes, they will no longer be themselves, or... this goes against their way.

That may be a huge choice in life.

That is the bottom line that cannot be compromised.

In any case, they can't accept those things being changed.

As mentioned before, history and the present are essentially the same, time does not exist, and everything is the ‘present’.

If that is allowed to be changed, then the entity of the third rank will naturally change as well, which will only make them ‘change their temperament’ and become another person.

Even the ‘Tao’ has been changed, even if the reality is still there, even if they are still alive, what is the meaning?

So, they can only fight.

This is not necessarily to die, but also to find a way to refuse the change of the first rank, or to find a way to turn oneself from a ‘critical node’ into an ‘unimportant thing’, or to rely on the protection of other powerful people to get out of it.

However, it is obvious that some unlucky people cannot do it, so they are ‘affected’ in this first-rank war and become victims.

Their history is circled, and their experience becomes an obstacle to the ‘present’, so let them not appear at that critical node.

If I have to describe it, it is...

If you want to achieve the "present" that the first-rank officials hope for, then in 2000, there is a key node that needs to be changed. This key node involves a third-rank official, and it is the kind that cannot be compromised.

So, let this third-rank official stay in 1999 forever.

Lock his possibilities forever before 1999, so that no matter how he goes back or how he resists, he can only come to 1999, then the node in 2000 will develop in the expected direction, and then lead to different results.

There are likely to be many such nodes, and each change will bring about huge changes in the world, such as the most classic...the "silver" of humanity has returned to the universe, so the high-ranking official of the Ministry of Revenue of humanity is likely to have "possibility zero", and the five metals he released naturally changed the basic structure of the universe, and his "Tao" has also changed.

Although this assistant minister is still living in his own reincarnation loop, is he really the original him?

It's really hard to say.

But these should be one of the reasons why the universe has become what it is now.

All factors that hinder the change of the universe have been isolated, including the third-rank, so the current situation will naturally come to the situation that the first-ranks hope to see.

Li Qi looked at the current universe. The reason why it has become like this is because the third-ranks who hindered it before have disappeared. Without their interference, reality will naturally move in another direction.

Li Qi made his own guesses while reading this world.

These are the results of his observations and guesses.

Then, Li Qi found a world...

No, not a world, it should be, a planet.

This planet is a standard earth-like planet and the most ordinary planet for life. There are not so many fancy physical environments here. There are only temperatures, humidity, and atmosphere suitable for the growth of ordinary life.

However, Li Qi's current range of "suitable" is slightly larger.

Temperatures from minus 100 degrees to plus 3,000 degrees are actually considered "suitable" and can give birth to ordinary carbon-based life, but the body composition is different.

Of course, this ordinary is also for Li Qi.

Compared to the neutron life of the Manifold Clan or the Speed ​​World, this is indeed ordinary.

The reason why he chose this planet is because there is someone he wants to find here.

Li Qi landed in this world, which is also a typical humanoid world. After all, the influence of the gods is too great, and it is really advantageous to look like gods.

The temperature in this world is about minus seventy degrees all year round, and the sun is very dim. It can only be said that it is barely in the habitable zone. Cold is the main theme of this world.

The place where Li Qi arrived was next to a child.

The child was tall. Although Li Qi knew that the other party was only five years old, he was about 1.8 meters tall.

It is normal. The colder the place, the larger the body size, which is more suitable for survival.

The child's body was very solid, with thick muscles and fat. He wore layer after layer of clothes. The innermost layer was shaved skin, sewn with tendons, and covered with a thick layer of fur on the outside. The hat on his head was made of animal fur. His feet were wrapped in scorpions made of fish skin, with the inner layer turned outward. The shoes and clothes were filled with down similar to penguin species and covered with grease.

Several teeth with small holes drilled in them were strung together and hung around his neck.

It was very primitive and in line with the local ecological level. This was a mortal world. The strongest life was only of the ninth grade, and it was a giant beast without high intelligence. Humanoid creatures were already top predators.

However, except for the one Li Qi was going to visit.

The earth was all frozen. The iceberg on the horizon was fascinating. With the dusk in the evening, a pure white line could be seen, spreading infinitely at the end of the distant sky and earth, dragging a gorgeous light.

Li Qi's appearance here was very abrupt, because he was not wrapped in thick fur, but in a thin long gown.

Li Qi's appearance scared the child next to him. Almost instantly, he bared his fangs and roared at Li Qi intimidatingly, while preparing to retreat.

Although he was only five years old, this was actually adolescence for the race that survived in this frozen Jedi. Their average life expectancy was only thirty years old.

Li Qi glanced at the other party, and then he knew this world well.

So, Li Qi disappeared on the spot, leaving the mortal in panic, rubbing his eyes, thinking he had seen an illusion.

The next second, Li Qi had put on thick fur, just like the natives here, and then walked into a tribe.

The person he was looking for was here.
