Chapter 580: Sea of Time, Virtual and Real Source(1/2)
"Goddess of Manhai?!"
Mu Cang's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice, "It turns out you... really exist."
"It doesn't really matter whether I exist or not."
Luo Yixue smiled and said, "Because, I will not interfere with anything in this Manhai.
Just think of me as an outsider passing by by chance."
"Really, then..."
Mu Cang asked in a deep voice, "Why did you happen to appear in Blue Star? And why did you happen to become my butler?"
"It's very simple, because I am very curious about you."
Luo Yixue smiled gently, "As a non-infinite person, you actually have [authority] that is absolutely impossible for creatures in the phenomenal world to touch before you set foot in the essence world.
This surprises me, although...your authority is only a rudiment at the moment."
"Is it the power of transformation? I don't know much about its appearance."
Mu Cang pondered, "But... long before I set foot on the Milky Way, long before I embarked on the path of evolution, didn't you already appear on the Blue Star?
Why? Is it because you predicted the future? Did you ‘see’ that I would gain authority in the future?”
Regarding his question, Luo Yixue chuckled and shook her head:
"Predicting the future? Hahaha, that's not the case. I never need to predict the future.
Because for me, the past, present, and future of the phenomenal world all exist at the same time."
"Is that so?"
Mu Cang understood instantly, "It seems that you have surpassed and surpassed the long river of time."
"The river of time."
Luo Yixue tilted her head slightly, "Well... actually using the so-called 'river' to describe the existence of time in the phenomenal world is a bit loose.
In my opinion, it might be more appropriate to describe it as the sea of time.
Because the arrow of time in the phenomenal world does not only run in one direction.
Therefore, the past, present, and future can be in the same row and parallel, or they can be staggered and inverted, they can jump intermittently, and they can even spin in circles and become a chaotic whirlpool."
"..."
Mu Cang: "I don't quite understand."
"Very simple."
Luo Yixue said casually, "Since space can have countless directions such as southeast, northwest, front, back, left, and right, why can't time also have it?
You just need to throw away the concept of "the long river of time" and throw it far away.
Then, just imagine the time displacement as a multi-dimensional space.”
After hearing these words, Mu Cang immediately imagined a magnificent "infinite sea" scene in his mind.
In this 'ocean' made up of endless time, every drop of water flowing in different directions represents a specific moment in the entire boundless sea.
Each of these moments, which may develop in various directions, can be regarded as a real and unquestionable "now".
Therefore, in this endless "present", there is no "past" and "future" in the absolute sense.
Or it can be said that these countless "present" can also be the "future" of countless "past", and the "past" of countless "future".
At the same time, these countless "past", "present" and "future" can reverse the order of 'linking' to each other, or they can coexist in the same column and in parallel.
And seven-dimensional life is wandering in this ocean of time.
They raised their hands, and between their palms was a handful containing countless time drops that were "past" and "future".
Every drop of water represents the entire panorama of the infinite and vast sea at a certain moment.
But...these time drops representing the past, present and future, if they are really so chaotic to each other.
So how should the endless fate of living beings and the order of causal development of endless events develop normally?
After imagining this step, Mu Cang could no longer think about it.
Because...this is really too weird.
"Okay, okay, don't think so much."
Luo Yixue was sitting on a recliner that came from nowhere, eating potato chips that came from nowhere, drinking milk tea that came from nowhere, and watching TV that came from nowhere,
While saying slowly:
"The various imaginations you have made about time now may not be completely correct, and may even be completely wrong.
When you step onto the level of the essence world and break away from the suppression of 'that', you will naturally understand what you need to understand.
Also, you don’t need to pay too much attention to my existence, just treat me as a false illusion."
"I understand that it is the time when the Arrow of Meaning is suppressing the boundless sea, and..."
Mu Cang said calmly, "What I see of you is only a partial reflection of your true identity, without any real essence, right?"
"Huh?"
Luo Yixue raised her eyebrows slightly, shifted her gaze from the TV screen to His face, and said with a smile, "You actually know all these things. Did you guess it?"
"No."
Mu Cang slowly shook his head, "I was told by a being who calls himself 'Mr.??'."
In addition, He told me...in addition to you in the boundless sea, there is also the projection of a seven-dimensional infinite-level creature."
"??Mr. Aleph Zero?!"
Luo Yixue frowned, "Who is he? I have never heard of this person."
"Oh~"
Mu Cang's eyes flashed at first, and then he said calmly, "Then, maybe he made up a false name."
That's what he said, but Mu Cang suddenly recalled what Mr.?? once said...
Only those beings with the potential to touch Aleph can truly see Him.
From this, Mu Cang boldly guessed that... the Manhai goddess in front of him probably did not have the potential to reach Aleph One, or to reach uncountable infinity.
"Mu Cang, I have been observing you for a long, long time."
At this time, Luo Yixue said leisurely, "But I have never been able to find the reason why you...have authority.
Haha, since I can't find it, let's just treat it as another unexplainable mystery."
After saying that, His figure slowly became hazy and illusory, as if it was about to disappear into the invisible.
"Wait a minute."
Mu Cang suddenly asked, "I would like to ask, are you a seventh-dimensional life? Do you also have... authority?"
"Yes, of course I have authority, but it's different from you."
Luo Yixue's blurry figure suddenly became fixed, and she said with a smile, "Your authority is [change], and my authority... is [interaction]."
Oh, and also, I am not the seven-dimensional creature you think, I am...nine-dimensional."
After saying that, his figure suddenly disappeared into nothingness, as if he had never appeared before.
In the original place, only Mu Cang was left silently meditating.
"Nine dimensions... It's actually nine dimensions..."
He has always felt that the nine dimensions are an ethereal concept infinitely far away from himself.
But I never thought of it.
Today, I actually saw a living nine-dimensional creature - the goddess Manhai.
The seven dimensions alone have surpassed all finite numbers and are located in the true infinite realm. They are powerful enough to subvert the boundless sea.
The eight-dimensional creatures above this are even more confusing, incomprehensible and inconceivable.
So how terrifying can the nine dimensions be to such an unparalleled level?
It cannot be known or imagined.
At this time, Mu Cang suddenly thought of another question.
As a nine-dimensional creature, why has Goddess Manhai never heard of the existence of ‘Mr.??’?
And it seems like...that Mr.?? has never met him face to face.
This means that this goddess of the sea who is stationed at the nine-dimensional level may still have not touched the Aleph level. She still belongs to the category of... Aleph Zero.
"It seems……"
Mu Cang pondered, "Seven dimensions, eight dimensions, nine dimensions... it is estimated that they still cannot surpass the realm of [countable infinity].
In this case, are the creatures in these three dimensions... all at different levels of [infinite ordinal] levels within the realm of [countable infinity]?"
To be continued...
