Li Yao did not expect that the speed of the silver giant would be increased by ten times in a moment, nor did he expect that it could tear apart his wounds into overwhelming bloody mouths. There was no time for him to run away. The whole world was swallowed by the silver tides, and he fell into the bottomless gap inside the silver giant together with the "Super Colossus".
Li Yao felt that he was falling into a bottomless abyss. He could not find any support at all, nor could he sense the existence of his body or the Super Colossus.
The chaos and darkness around him gradually turned into starry spots of light. Then, starry brilliance poured down like a waterfall, as if he had returned to the boundless universe after passing through the body of the silver giant.
However, this was not a regular universe.
The starry brilliance here was too dense.
It must be noted that in the "real" universe, the distance between the stars was actually very long. Even the most violent light and heat would be dimmed after being transmitted for millions of lightyears. Therefore, sailing in space was like an ant passing through a sealed, dark box. At best, there would be a few needle holes on the box, through which a few feeble rays of light would leak in. That was all.
However, the stars in this place were too dense, too bright, and even too dazzling. It seemed that all the stars in the universe had been attracted to Li Yao's head, or maybe … billions of universes had overlapped.
"This is —"
Alarmed, Li Yao immediately realized what was going on. "This is the interior of the 'Flood'!"
He had been longing to enter the enemy's rear and give the Flood a "Central Blossom". Now, the enemy had truly opened all the barriers generously and allowed him to march in. However, the view inside the Flood was far beyond his expectations. The information and data hidden behind the starry brilliance were too fascinating to be analyzed.
Li Yao could only allow the waves of the Flood to push him forward slowly, where the starry brilliance was densest, as if billions of suns had exploded at the same time.
For a moment, boundless energy surged into his Divine Soul, causing him to feel as if his Divine Soul was about to be annihilated.
However, after he got used to the indescribable brightness, he finally 'saw', or rather 'sensed', countless blue planets floating above the splendid ocean of fire. Every blue planet had its own delicate galaxy as a 'protective shield'. Outside of every protective shield, golden light was vaguely dancing. There was no telling whether it was a protection or a seal.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
When Li Yao extended his consciousness, the information of the blue planets flooded into his soul like a tide. He could clearly see the similar terrain of every blue planet, the mountains, the oceans, and the scattered towns, as well as the lives in the towns and cities, as well as the smiles, happiness, anger, sorrow, and panic of the life forms that called themselves the 'spirits of all living things'.
The feelings, will, and imagination of countless Earths and human beings, as the foundation of intelligent life forms, were all transformed into a certain pure and powerful strength that was absorbed and sent into the splendid ocean of fire incessantly.
Li Yao felt that such a view was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Right. It was the mastermind of the Holy League, the super artificial intelligence 'Fuxi'!
Fuxi had once established countless' laboratories of humanity 'in the virtual world to collect data and support his ideal country.
What the Flood was doing was rather similar. No, it was more 'advanced' because most of Fuxi's' laboratories of humanity 'were virtual, whereas the Flood was using real planets, or rather, it was capable of creating real Earths in the three-dimensional universe so that it could harvest what it needed!
No … The more he observed, the scarier he felt. Everything that was presented in the depths of the Flood was beyond his comprehension. This place was like a collection of countless' parallel worlds'. It was like countless' parallel Earths' that were dancing on the ocean of infinite fire.
"Is this the truth of the Prison of Samsara?
"Every time the cycle of time was over and the world was about to be restarted, the old 'Earth' was not completely destroyed. Instead, it was digitized and inputted into the depths of the Flood, transforming into a 'parallel Earth'.
"It's like a computer system that generates tremendous data changes and calculation results after running for a while. Then, it copies and saves all the data, transfers it to another storage space, and restarts it again.
"Therefore, no matter how many cycles have taken place, how many 'parallel Earths' have been born. Not only does the Flood control the feelings and imagination of all the heroic spirits on this Earth right now, but it also controls the strength of countless heroic spirits on countless' parallel Earths'!"
Those thoughts burst out deep inside Li Yao's mind like a series of sparks.
Although he had cleared the fog of darkness, he was also caught in greater confusion. If that was the case, the power of the Flood was far beyond their imagination. At the very least, it was not something that he could resist with his petty tricks.
However, the Flood did not attack them with the power of countless' parallel Earths'.
What was this unimaginably terrifying Quasi God level existence going to do with such a huge amount of power?
"Now, you should believe me, shouldn't you?"
A casual voice came from behind Li Yao. "This is not an illusion but countless' parallel Earths' that really exist. With such enormous power, I don't care about the harassment of a bug like you at all. You and your resisters, your clamor and your bites mean nothing to me at all."
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. When he looked back, he saw the silver ball that looked like a balloon floating behind his head.
The silver ball did not have any facial organs or expressions. The arc-shaped mirror merely reflected Li Yao's own hilarious expression coldly.
"That being said, your wisdom and courage, or rather, your meanness and stupidity, have won me over … a little bit."
The silver ball continued sending messages to Li Yao. "Because of this' touch ', and because of the energy that you have provided for me, I can let you die knowing. No. I should not say that you are' dead 'but that you will be reborn in the distant past."
Li Yao did not know how he should react. He had been completely lost in the countless' parallel Earths' and the overlapping, interfering, splitting, and reborn stars.
The information link between him and the silver ball immediately expanded.
The enormous data that looked like billions of stars flooded into Li Yao's soul like a tide, describing an unbelievable and even unimaginable picture of the universe to Li Yao in the most simplified and even inaccurate way.
Everything started with quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics was a branch of physics that studied the motion of microscopic particles in the material world. It mainly studied the fundamental theories of atoms, molecules, condensed matter, and the structure and properties of atomic nuclei and fundamental particles. It broke the category of classical physics and fundamentally changed human beings' understanding of the structure of matter and their interactions.
Different from classical mechanics that could be verified intuitively, there were a lot of things that defied common sense and were even unimaginable in the category of quantum mechanics. For example, the ordinary people's understanding of quantum mechanics almost all began with the famous thought experiment of 'Schrodinger's Cat'.
Li Yao now knew that 'Schrodinger's Cat' was not a trick of the Flood but a thought experiment that had happened on the 'Origin Earth' billions of years ago. It was proposed by Schrodinger, a famous physicist in Austria at that time, who tried to explain the quantum superposition principle on the microscopic scale from the macroscopic scale.
The thought experiment went like this: Suppose that there was a live cat and a tiny amount of radioactive materials in a box in an ideal state. Then, there was a 50% probability that the radioactive materials would decay and release venomous gas to kill the cat, and a 50% probability that the radioactive materials would not decay and the cat would survive.
According to classical physics, one of these two results must occur in the box, and an external observer could only know the result inside when the box was opened.
In the quantum world, when the box was closed, the entire system would always maintain an uncertain wave state, which was the superposition of the cat's life and death.
Whether the cat was dead or alive could only be determined after the box was opened and the matter was expressed in the form of particles when an external observer observed it.
This famous thought experiment was aimed at demonstrating quantum mechanics' knowledge and understanding of the microscopic particle world beyond common sense. This made the microscopic uncertainty become the macroscopic uncertainty. The fact that the cat was both alive and dead went against logical thinking.
Schrodinger's Cat itself was a hypothetical concept. Even Schrodinger himself threw out this experiment with a bit of sarcasm. However, with the development of technology, people realized the 'Schrodinger's Cat State' in photons, atoms, and molecules. They even found that the Schrodinger's Cat State, which was also a quantum superposition state, existed universally in life.
This made the originally stable and only firm world of human beings greatly shaken.
The concept of 'parallel universe' was even derived from this.
