Even when he was in the World in the Cup, Chen Guang had never experienced the feeling of being completely frozen to the point where he couldn't move.
It wasn't as simple as his body being restrained. The power to control came from within his body, from his muscles to his bones, to his veins, and even down to his cells. Every part of his body that could be controlled with his mind was completely frozen.
Apart from that, the Heavenly Holy Grail hovering in the air was flying further and further away. In mid-air, it expanded rapidly like a Fatty Big Sea that was soaked in water.
In just a short ten seconds, the drinking cup turned into a floating tower that was nearly 100 meters tall in front of Chen Guang.
Of course, the only thing that changed was the volume. The cup was still the same shape, and even the flying goddess statue that was made of glass was enlarged to the same scale.
If not for the fact that the feather robe had shrunk into a bikini, the enlarged version of the goddess statue would have looked even more fairy-like.
As the cup changed, the frequency of cracks appearing in the sky suddenly increased. Long, narrow, and disorderly cracks appeared in the sky one after another without any pattern.
The scene looked spectacular, but it didn't make a single sound.
Chen Guang couldn't do anything about it. He was even worried that the strange phenomenon at the peak of Mount Fuji would attract the attention of others. If all the satellites in the sky were pointed in this direction, it was hard to guarantee that he and the huge Heavenly Holy Grail wouldn't be photographed.
Then perhaps his greatest secret would be directly exposed.
Wait, the snowflakes aren't falling anymore!
Chen Guang squinted and looked at the sky again. The snowflakes that were falling from the sky had completely stopped.
Alright, it's the familiar time stopping again. This kind of big trick written in fantasy novels has become a common occurrence for me.
Chen Guang couldn't be bothered to complain anymore. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about his secret being exposed.
He didn't know what would happen next, and there was nothing he could do. He could only watch everything like a statue.
He was just a little puzzled. Everything felt normal last night. Although the power of the Holy Grail was still getting stronger, the speed of change was still under control. Based on his estimation, it would take at least one to two years for the power of the Holy Grail that filled the entire world to completely transform from quantitative to qualitative.
Why did it suddenly change so drastically today?
This isn't logical!
Just as Chen Guang was thinking this, the Holy Grail suddenly began to tremble.
The huge lid of the cup rotated and opened on its own. After the lid left its body, it floated towards Chen Guang and landed beside him with a loud bang.
As for the cup in mid-air, some liquid substance began to gush out. This scene shocked Chen Guang to the point that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. He couldn't speak.
Although I'm complaining that it's not scientific, you don't have to force it to be scientific!
The liquid that was gushing out of the Holy Grail was the power of the Holy Grail, so dense that it couldn't be dissolved!
The power of the Holy Grail was supposed to be an existence of energy. Chen Guang did not expect that when this mysterious power appeared in the real world at such a high concentration, it could actually form such a liquid-like effect.
However, this thing evaporated very quickly. After gushing out of the cup, it spread out and flowed in all directions. At first, it looked like a waterfall, but before it reached the bottom of the Holy Grail, it completely transformed into a gaseous state and dissipated into the air.
Although Chen Guang was trapped in place and unable to move, he was still blown into a mess by the strong wind that was blowing at him.
This strong wind was filled with a sweet smell. It was the familiar smell of cooking oil …
Ptui!
This is the power of the Holy Grail that's so dense that it's sweet!
But can we not run out of oxygen?
Are you trying to suffocate me to death?
Before he finished speaking, the liquid that was gushing out of the Holy Grail suddenly surged higher, forming a fountain that was hundreds of meters tall. From below, it looked like a waterspout when a tornado struck.
As the liquid rapidly transformed into a gaseous state after falling down, the air instantly became even sweeter.
However, Chen Guang no longer felt suffocated. As the power of the Holy Grail completely dispersed and disintegrated into its most basic energy state, the air suddenly returned to normal.
Chen Guang was not sure how the power of the Holy Grail fused with the real world. Based on his limited knowledge of university physics and chemistry, he could only speculate that the energy was completely integrated into atoms or an even smaller level in its most basic energy state.
Just like the van der Waals force between molecules, or the chemical bonding force between atoms, or it could be the nuclear force between the protons that made up atoms, or even smaller.
According to the research of modern scientific theories, there were even smaller leptons, hadrons, and even quarks below the protons.
As for the smallest fundamental particle in modern scientific theories, it was generally believed that a particle with no other internal structure could be considered a fundamental particle.
From another perspective, after combining quantum theory and the theory of relativity, it was believed that matter usually had a wave-particle duality, and that particles were made up of strings.
The world of quantum physics was so complicated and mysterious. In order to find the existence of a possible particle, scientists even had to wait for hundreds of years for technological advancement.
But even so, until now, people still could not confirm that quarks were the smallest particle units.
If quarks had volume, then theoretically, they could still be divided.
However, according to string theory, perhaps the fundamental particles that made up quarks could not exist for a long period of time. Instead, they were always in constant change, constantly changing into another existence as the energy changed.
This led the theory back to the wave-particle duality. It could also be considered that matter was energy in a certain sense. It was just like how some theories believed that the photons that made up light were weightless when they were stationary, but if they moved forward at the speed of light and landed on a large enough surface, the light pressure could be measured, which proved that the photons had weight. It was the same complicated and mysterious theory.
However, with the further advancement of modern theoretical and practical research, the correctness of quantum theory was once again doubted. Even the foundation of the wave-particle duality theory might be shaken.
The exploration of science was always a process of verification and constant questioning. Although many people suspected that as long as matter existed, then it would definitely be eternally and infinitely divided, even if they knew the answer, they could not find any theoretical proof. They could not prove that it was correct, nor could they prove that it was wrong.
It was just like how the ancients knew that the sun must rise and set, but they did not know why it was so.
A great man once said, the more you know, the more ignorant you feel. This sentence could also be applied to modern scientific research.
Based on Chen Guang's knowledge as a university student, even if he had taken the initiative to go to the library to search for the mysteries of the Holy Grail, he could only stop at this level.
Now he suspected that since the Holy Grail was an existence of energy, and since it could use pure energy as the foundation to form a new body in the World of the Cup, then when this energy was fused into the real world, it might be adding another quark in addition to the six suspected quark particles. It might also be using an even smaller unit, on an even smaller level. If the so-called string theory was really correct, then it could directly change the level of energy or matter at the string level.
In the basic composition of all matter, adding a type of string, or adding a way to combine the string together.
If the string was not the smallest unit, then consider it as the smallest unit.
This was too profound, but perhaps it could be explained in a relatively simple way.
Assuming that a substation could take care of the residents of three nearby residential areas, under normal circumstances, this substation could provide a power of 100,000 kilowatts, but the maximum power that the output circuit could withstand was only 50,000 kilowatts.
By modifying the circuit and adding a copper core line parallel to the original output circuit, the substation's maximum power output could then reach 100,000 kilowatts.
On the surface, this added circuit did not seem to change anything, but the electricity consumption experience of the residents of these three residential areas had already undergone earth-shattering changes.
To put it another way, if a marionette had five strings, then after adding another string to it, the gameplay would also undergo a huge change.
On the surface, it would still look the same, but on the inside, there would be a huge change.
Therefore, with the Holy Grail as the core, the current fusion of the Real World and the real world should essentially be a new type of basic energy or laws fusing into reality, changing from the microscopic level of the real fundamental particles or energy.
But from a macroscopic perspective, perhaps nothing had happened, just like when humans received X-rays, only God knows how many particles passed through their bodies, but they still ate and drank as usual.
Perhaps it was because he was blessed with good fortune, Chen Guang did not expect that he would be able to figure this out at the last moment. He felt a little better, at least he did not have to worry that his parents would be gone when he woke up, and he would become two complete strangers. If that happened, his defeat would be too complete and too miserable.
But using his brain could not change the situation in front of him. He still could not move, and with the passage of "time," the Holy Grail's power that surged out from the Holy Grail seemed endless, becoming more and more ferocious. The "water column" of the Holy Grail's power that soared into the sky was even about to break through the horizon and reach into space.
The frequency of the space-time fissures appearing in the sky was getting higher, and the fissures were getting thicker and thicker. Each time they appeared, the time it took for them to appear was also getting longer and longer. The saddest thing was that these fissures were getting closer and closer to Chen Guang.
Only God knew how powerful these fissures were, and when faced with such a situation, the only option left in a normal person's mind would be to quickly run away.
As a normal person, Chen Guang felt very helpless.
So, what exactly happened between last night and now? Why did it turn out like this?
Before he was completely swallowed by the fissures, Chen Guang's mind was still painfully thinking about this question.
