Myriad Paths

In the distance, Li Qi counted with his fingers.

Well, his sixth sense always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, which meant that the matter might involve something at a higher level.

It's normal. The universe is currently troubled, and it's natural for me to feel wrong about so many things.

But there's a problem.

However, now that I have reached the third level, I can no longer wait for things to come to me. If I want to create a safe environment for myself, I have to take the initiative.

Moreover, he doesn't have much time. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed since he was promoted to the third level, and his cultivation level is almost stable. He is expected to join the war soon.

There shouldn't be any problem on the disciple's side. With Yao Ji here, he can come over if anything happens.

The two sisters Shen Shuibi and Yang Ning left. They probably had some secret conversations in their boudoir and it was not convenient for me to eavesdrop on them.

So……

Let's go, solve the problems of the past, and learn about the universe today.

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

But...it can no longer be said to be outside the territory.

The structure of the universe has been completely changed. Today's universe no longer has the division of "world", and all matter is evenly distributed.

There's just a problem.

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

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

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

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

If positive and negative particles collide, they will soon be annihilated, and then fill the hole, leaving a 'ripple' in the sea of ​​vacuum, which is new 'energy'.

This is a manifestation of the symmetry of the universe, and everything is symmetrical.

However, symmetry breaking caused problems. Once the symmetry was broken, matter and antimatter were no longer symmetrical. One side had one billionth more part. This one billionth part of the debris made up the surface. material universe.

The reason why only the so-called 'positive matter' is left in the end is actually just because the positive matter remains, because essentially, the status of matter and antimatter is completely equivalent, and there is no one who has priority over the other. They are antimatter to each other, just like the mutual transformation of yin and yang fish.

Although the amounts were equal at the beginning, during the cooling process of the universe, the universe was interfered by the powerful, eventually destroying the law of conservation, resulting in an asymmetry in the amount of matter 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 occurred, the differentiation of superpowers was completely reversible.

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

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.

How many fantastic materials can be created, and how many mysterious substances can be produced through different ratios.

Refiners who have reached the third level can create incredible props. They need to take advantage of this property and create new super magic weapons directly from the level of material essence.

So, in a 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...

Amazing.

The gravitational constant has also changed, and the Schwarzschild radius for the birth of Guixu has also caused problems. There are more substances in the neutron degenerate state, making it more difficult for Guixu to form.

Generally speaking, so much matter will definitely lead to a large-scale collapse, but due to changes in constants, the matter is evenly distributed in space.

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

Because of the speed of light, the edge of this network structure is the 'horizontal plane' 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. To them, this is the 'universe' edge'.

The giant attractor and the absolute barrier constitute foam-like ‘single universes’, and the edges of the observable universe form separate regions.

The existence of the 'world' has disappeared, and there are no longer world barriers 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 completely changed. The reason for all this comes from the changes in the third level.

In this process, the possibility of dozens of third-grade people was zeroed out. In Li Qi's view, it was most likely because their history anchored the history that the first-grade people wanted to change.

Their existence blocks the way, so just remove them directly, so that the history they have fixed will not cause obstacles. This is actually a kind of 'ripple'.

However, there should only be a very small number of such unlucky third-grade people, that is, the dozens. Most of the third-grade people will live in peace like Li Qi.

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

Although in the eyes of mortals, the third grade is an unchangeable reality, in fact, history is information engraved on the basic unit of the third grade, and the third grade is the cornerstone of reality.

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

The existence of the third grade is the cornerstone of the present.

The same is true for Li Qi and the other three ranks. If history is changed, it means they have accepted the change. If they do not accept it, history will be anchored by the reality of the three ranks themselves.

So in practical terms, if Yipins want to change the present and make reality tend to the future they want, they must change the past information.

In other words, changing history requires changing the three levels that are the cornerstone of history.

This is the same as the essence of "choosing the future" for the third-grade people. In fact, many third-grades themselves change it every day. This is also the reason for constant backtracking. The third-grade war will start infinite retrospection and create extreme environments to torture the opponent. .

In this sense, as long as the third-grade people are willing to give in, they will never die. As long as they shrink back enough, no one will cause trouble for the third-grade people.

Everything involved was trivial and trivial, so just change it. Li Qi decided his future every day before he reached the third level, so there was no problem.

But it's different for some unlucky people. What they want to change will be a major change in themselves.

If they accept these changes, they will no longer be themselves, or... it will be contrary to their Tao.

That may be the biggest decision in life.

That is the bottom line that cannot be compromised.

No matter what, they can't accept those things being changed.

As I said before, history and the present are essentially the same. Time does not exist. Everything is ‘now’.

If that is allowed to be changed, then the body of the third grade will naturally change accordingly, which will only cause their "temperament to change drastically" and become another person.

Even the 'Tao' has been changed. Even if the reality is still there, even if it is still alive, what's the point?

Therefore, they can only fight.

This does not necessarily mean committing suicide, it can also mean finding a way to refuse the changes of the first rank, or finding a way to change oneself from a 'key node' to an 'unimportant thing', or relying on the protection of other powerful people to allow oneself to escape. .

However, it is obvious that some unlucky people cannot do it, so they will be 'affected' in this first-class war and become victims.

Their history has been circled, and their experiences have become an obstacle to the 'now', so just let them not appear at that critical juncture.

If I had to describe it, it would be...

If you want to achieve the 'now' that the first-grade people hope for, then in 2000, there is a key node that needs to be changed. This key node involves a third-grade person, and it is the kind that cannot be compromised.

Then, let this third grade stop in 1999 forever.

Lock his possibility forever before 1999, so that no matter how he looks back or resists, he can only reach 1999. Then the node in 2000 will develop in the expected direction, leading to different results.

There are likely to be many such nodes, and each change will bring about great changes in the world. For example, the most classic one... Humanity's 'Silver' has returned to the universe, so there is a high probability that Humanity's senior official from the Ministry of Revenue has 'possibly' When his sex was reduced to zero, the hardware he released naturally changed the basic structure of the universe, and his Tao also changed as a result.

Although the minister is still living in his own cycle of reincarnation, is he really still the same person?

This is really hard to say.

However, these should be one of the reasons why the universe becomes what it is now.

All factors that hinder the change of the universe have been isolated, including the third-level ones. The current situation will naturally come to the situation that the first-level ones hope to happen.

Li Qi looked at the current universe. The reason why it became what it is now is because the third-grade people who had previously hindered it disappeared. Without their interference, reality would naturally move in another direction.

Li Qi made his own guesses while reading the world.

These are the results of his observations and guesses.

Then, Li Qi found a world...

No, it's not the world, it should be, I found a planet.

This planet is a standard terrestrial planet, and it is also the planet with the most ordinary life. There are not so many fancy physical environments here, but only the temperature, humidity, and atmosphere suitable for the growth of ordinary life.

However, Li Qi's current understanding of the 'appropriate' range is slightly larger.

Temperatures ranging from one hundred degrees below zero to three thousand degrees above zero are actually considered 'suitable' and ordinary carbon-based life can be born. The only difference is the composition of the body.

Of course, this general is also aimed at Li Qi.

Compared to the neutron life forms of the manifold race or the speed world, this is indeed ordinary.

The reason why he chose this planet was because there was someone he was looking for here.

When Li Qiluo came to this world, it was also a typical world of humanoid creatures. After all, the influence of gods was too great, and it was really an advantage to look like gods.

The temperature in this world is about minus 70 degrees all year round, and the sun is very gray. It can only be said that it is barely within the habitable zone. Cold is the main theme of this world.

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

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

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

This child's body is very thick, with thick muscles and fat. He wears layers of clothes. The innermost part is shaved skin sewn with tendons. The outer part is covered with a thick layer of fur, and his head is The hat is made entirely of animal fur, the feet are wrapped with scorpions sewn from fish skin, and the inside is turned out. The shoes and clothes are also stuffed with down similar to penguin species and smeared with grease.

Several teeth drilled with small holes were pierced in a string and hung around his neck.

It is very primitive and in line with the local ecological level. This is a mortal world. The strongest beings are only ninth-level creatures, and they are still behemoths without advanced intelligence. Humanoids are already the top predators.

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

The earth is all frozen, and the icebergs on the horizon are fascinating. In the dusk of the evening, you can see a pure white line, spreading infinitely at the end of the world in the distance, dragging a gorgeous light.

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

Li Qi's appearance frightened the child next to him. Almost instantly, he opened his fangs and growled intimidatingly at Li Qi, while preparing to retreat.

Although they are only five years old, the race that has survived in this frozen Jedi is actually in their teenage years, and their average lifespan is only thirty years old.

Li Qi glanced at the other person and already knew the world well.

As a result, Li Qi disappeared from the spot, leaving the mortal panicked and rubbing his eyes, thinking he had seen an illusion.

The next second, Li Qi had already put on thick furs, just like the indigenous people here, and then walked into a tribe.

The person he's looking for is here.
