Constructing-Style Wizard

"Year is a unit of time.

"Light-year is a unit of distance, representing the total length of one year for light to travel at the speed of light.

"Assuming that the speed of light cannot be changed, then the length of 1 light-year is constant.

"Something happened at point A. Point B1, which is 1 light-year away from point A, will observe the process of this event at point A one year after the event happened.

"Similarly, points B2, B3, and B4 that are 2, 3, and 4 light years away from point A will also be observed to occur at point A two years later, three years later, and four years later. events on.

“The further away from point A, the more history of point A we can see.

“Relying on this theory, we can observe the past, but cannot predict the future.

"But just helping us observe the past is enough.

“Because the questions we most want to know are where did life come from, what is the origin of all things, and what was the beginning of the universe.

"All these questions can be boiled down to one sentence:

“Where did the first light in the universe come from?

“Without light, we cannot see things and would not have the concepts of light speed and light-years.

“Without light, our sense of the scales of time and space is blurry.

“Without light, we would not be able to use space folding technology to travel to places trillions of light years away and see what the universe looked like at the beginning.

"I am honored to tell you that the exploration team sent by Dylan Paradise reached the edge of the universe yesterday, observed the past history of the entire universe, and discovered the source of the first beam of light."

A place called Dilan Paradise covers an area of ​​hundreds of billions of light-years.

Its most famous technology is space folding technology.

In the field of transportation and logistics, space folding technology is also called "jump technology".

It can form a folded and compressed jump space between the starting point and the end point, allowing any object to cross a distance of several light years at once and reach its destination instantly.

In the field of planet construction, space folding technology is often dubbed "planet compression technology".

It can compress planets with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers, boiling and burning stars, rapidly rotating neutron stars, and even black holes that absorb everything into a glass ball on your fingertips.

By using space folding technology to compress building materials, construction teams, and residents into nanoscale existences, and then placing them on planets that are also compressed tens of thousands of times, we can transform these planets compressed into glass beads from a microscopic level.

In the field of asset management, space folding technology represents absolute control, absolute dominance, and absolute possession.

The planet has been emptied of resources, leaving only old mining facilities and badly damaged robots?

Crush it.

Is there a vicious epidemic on the planet, or is there a global natural disaster?

Crush it.

There are saboteurs on the planet spreading rumors and trying to fight for control of the planet, but you can't find these saboteurs?

Crush it.

After mastering the space folding technology, every big shot in Dilan Park will not be short of planets.

They can use a day to transform the planets in a galaxy into their own glass beads, or they can use a day to crush the planets and watch them turn into dust in the universe.

This is the governing relationship after the emergence of space folding technology.

The reason why these big shots can become big shots is because of one and only one criterion:

As long as I can use space folding technology to compress you, but you can't use space folding technology to compress me, then I will be your master.

Only creatures that cannot be compressed by space folding technology can sit on equal footing and jointly build a cosmic paradise called "Dylan".

At this time, in a space area without any planets, thousands of huge individuals with glass beads around them were "standing" around the illusory screen in the center.

The illusory screen is the host of this meeting, and it is also the one who just announced the good news to the participants present.

Along with its words, the edge of the universe appeared on the illusory screen.

Ahead was a rich, deep black without any light.

Behind are colorful images. Every ray of light and every flashing point of light represents a piece of history.

The exploration team of Dylan Paradise is currently located at the junction of the universe and outer space.

The deep black space ahead is the time outside the universe, where there is no light except darkness.

The light emanating from the universe is the pioneer of the universe.

On the one hand, they carry the history of various places in the universe, and on the other hand, they also illuminate the dark space outside the universe and expand the territory of the universe.

However, the scene seen by the exploration team and everyone in Dylan Paradise is based on the fact that the universe is still expanding outward.

Almost at the moment when the exploration team sent back the image of the edge of the universe to everyone in the park, a piece of bad news came from the exploration team, causing everyone in the park to feel uneasy.

"Everyone, we have received reliable news. Our exploration team has discovered that the speed of light is slowing down at the edge of the universe. To be precise, the closer to the edge of the universe, the slower the speed of light becomes. This phenomenon intensified after the exploration team arrived at the edge of the universe. .

"In the most pessimistic prediction, we will see the light at the edge of the universe stop moving forward in 30 minutes. By then, the light may coincide at the edge of the universe, or the light may dissipate at the edge of the universe.

"In either case, this means that our universe is about to stop expanding outward, or even start to collapse inward."

There was a lot of discussion in the park, and everyone was expressing their opinions in their own way.

Some "people" casually crushed a few planets to relieve their uneasiness.

Someone threw glass beads and smashed them against the illusory screen in the center of the venue, seemingly expressing anger at the park's move to send out an exploration team. In their view, it is precisely because of the emergence of the exploration team that the universe is about to stop expanding outward.

There were also "people" who maintained their basic composure and joined the discussion:

“What happens when the universe collapses inward?”

“Can we think of the collapse of the universe as a compression of space for us?”

"Can a planet that has been compressed by us be compressed again during the collapse of the universe?"

"Perhaps we should move to the end of the universe's collapse, so as to gain more time to save ourselves during the collapse of the universe."

"So, where is the end of the collapse of the universe? Or, where is the last place affected by the collapse of the universe?"

"We can change our thinking. I think leaving this universe is also an option. We should let the exploration team pass through the edge of the universe and enter the space outside the universe."

This passage resonated in Paradise.

The "people" asked the host to order the exploration team to separate some "people" into the space outside the universe.

Bad news came back quickly.

The members of the exploration team who entered the outer space lost news and did not return to the universe. They seemed to be completely lost in a zone without the concept of time and space.

In addition, the exploration team discovered that, whether because someone left the universe or for some other reason, the light at the edge of the universe completely stopped.

Moreover, these lights that have stopped moving outward are collectively moving backwards.

They form a shell of light that surrounds the entire universe.

As the amount of light that stopped moving increased, the thickness of the light shell also increased rapidly.

Not long after, the light from different areas of the universe, which took trillions of years to reach the edge of the universe, completely overlapped.

The shell of light quickly evolved into a barrier containing historical information about the entire universe.

The exploration team is now in this barrier.

Their detection equipment is looping back to them the historical information it has collected.

From the birth of a planet, to another planet being shattered by a meteor, to the civilization of living beings blooming on the planet, then to the death of the star, the dissipation of the light of the star field, the formation of a black hole, etc., and so on.

The exploration teams and their equipment were completely overwhelmed by countless historical information.

The image on the illusory screen flashed violently, and finally turned into a scene of colorful stripes intertwining horizontally, and the exploration team lost contact.

"Have you all seen it? The edge of the universe has formed a real wall of historical information. It has swallowed up our exploration team and is now approaching us at a speed of at least tens of thousands of light-years per second...

Before the host finished speaking, the scene erupted into sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

"No, I just gained eternal life, and I don't want to die yet."

"We have to reach the end of the universe's collapse as soon as possible! Perhaps when the process of universe collapse reaches a certain point in time, the collapse will transform into expansion again!"

"Where is the end of the universe's collapse? Damn it, who can tell me the answer?!"

The host transformed into a ball of light on his illusory screen and announced loudly:

"Everyone, look here. This ball of light should be the end of the universe's collapse. It is the first light in the universe and the source of all light."

"This appears to be a star in its prime."

"It doesn't seem to be anything special. Why do you say it is the first light of the universe?"

Faced with doubts, the host said confidently:

"When the exploration team reached the edge of the universe, they saw the scene at the beginning of the universe. Everything in the universe we are in now was ejected from this light source. They followed the light and spread outward. This That’s how our universe was formed.”

The virtual screen shows the original appearance of the universe as seen by the exploration team.

In the eternal darkness, the light was only the size of a palm, but it was so dazzling.

It has always maintained a bright attitude and has never been swallowed by the darkness outside the universe.

After an unknown amount of time, the light group expanded and stirred as if it were alive.

When its size expands to a certain extent, countless light bands visible to the naked eye erupt from it, mixed with countless substances.

The density of these substances is extremely astonishing, and they fly in all directions along with the light belts, quickly lighting up large areas of darkness like pioneers in a race to form a splendid galaxy.

Seeing this scene, all the "people" gradually believed that the light group was the starting point of this universe and the end of the universe's collapse.

But here comes a new problem.

When will the collapse of the universe end?

Does all matter ejected from the light cluster have to return to the light cluster in order to terminate the collapse of the universe?

If this is the case, how can all the "people" present survive?

The host put forward his own views:

"I suggest that all of us use space folding technology to compress ourselves and hide in that ball of light. Perhaps, with the blessing of this ball of light, we can not only avoid the collapse of the universe, but also follow the expansion of the universe again. The next space."

"That's a good way to do it."

"Space folding technology can not only compress our own size, but also use high density to form a hard-to-break body to protect our bodies."

"When the universe expands outward next time, we will come out of that fire. By then, we will be the gods of the new universe. We will stand directly at the end of material technology and use space folding technology to open up our universe. "

Someone suggested:

"I felt like we had to give this fire a name, it was our mother in a sense."

The host said:

"How about calling it 'Dylan's Fire'?"

"We should add 'holy' and call it 'Saint Dylan's Fire', so that it is solemn enough."

The name "Saint Dilan's Fire" was agreed upon by everyone present.

From this day on, many beings in Dilan Paradise began to compress, compress and compress themselves to facilitate their entry into the light group that was no more than the size of a palm.

Time passes, and the moment comes when the universe collapses to its end.

A barrier of light mixed with all the historical information of this cycle of the universe came and stuck to the Fire of Saint Dilan like an egg shell, sealing all the members of the Paradise who had been compressed to the extreme in the light group.

In the space outside the light group, darkness seemed to have solidified.

Within the light group, the members of Paradise fell into a deep sleep.

"Kaka..."

With a crackling sound that seemed to be absent, the light barrier surrounding the light group cracked, scattering light like a chicken breaking out of its shell.

As the light escapes, the members of the paradise shoot out from the light group.

They successfully escaped the last round of universe collapse, ushered in a new universe, and mastered advanced technologies that ordinary creatures looked up to and could not reach.

However, in the long years of waiting for the arrival of the new universe, they have forgotten their origins. They only know that the flame that gave birth to all things in the universe is called "Saint Dilan's Fire", and they only remember that their mission is to explore the space outside the universe.

A large part of them instinctively gather at the edge of the universe, collect historical information of the entire universe, and harvest the creatures in the universe that they think are useful for exploring the outer space of the universe.

This kind of existence that occupies the edge of the universe has a new term, and that is Yuwai Yongsui.

The ecological environment they formed at the edge of the universe is called the "fractured dimension" by the creatures in the universe.

And those members of the paradise who forgot that their mission was to explore the outer space of the universe wandered around the universe and got a new name - the core of the plane.

…

…

Li Nuo, with his eyes closed, lay flat on the soft bed.

He tried to open his eyes and get rid of this illusion that spanned countless years.

This illusion was so real, it was as if he had experienced the entire process of the collapse of the universe from the perspective of a bystander.

Just when Li Nuo gradually regained control of his body and was about to open his eyes, a voice sounded in the darkness:

"The members of Dilan Paradise from the previous universe lived in the current universe at the cost of forgetting themselves. So how should the native beings of this universe choose their own path?

"Are you following the members of Dylan Paradise to explore the space outside the universe?

"Or control that flame and manipulate the members of Dilan Paradise known as the core of the plane?

"Or should we eliminate the remnants of Dilan Paradise who should have all died in the last round of cosmic reincarnation and start a new era of our own?

"What choice will you make?" (End of Chapter)
