But you do not intend to head towards such an ending.
Suddenly, another voice sounded. At the same time, two blobs of golden light appeared. They looked like eyes.
Life … has a common flaw. The further forward you go, the more you think of yourself as extraordinary. The faint light within the gray shadow no longer flickered. Instead, it stabilized. People no longer asked where to go next, but how to get there. It was no longer a question filled with various possibilities, but a goal.
What binds this world is gravity. Civilization can only survive and continue because of it, but it also becomes the fundamental law of the universe, limiting the appearance of other possibilities. After a dwarf star evaporates, a small black hole will also be devoured by a large black hole. The scale of the latter will be calculated on the scale of a galaxy cluster. They are evenly scattered in every corner of the universe, and under the influence of gravity, they form a balance. Do you know what that looks like?
A pile of small balls pressing down on a tablecloth. The gray shadow asked and answered itself. They are restraining each other, but they are helpless against the accelerated expansion of the universe until they evaporate and turn into nothingness. And when that happens, entropy will reach its peak. The universe will be calm and stable, and there will be no more changes. To it, that moment is when it finally becomes an adult. But that is not the outcome we wish to see.
That's right, our existence is insignificant to the universe, like a drop in the ocean. Even without life, the universe is still the universe. Or rather, our appearance itself is a coincidence. But since we have appeared, we are destined not to remain silent. No matter how soft our voices are, we must let out a cry that belongs to us!
The gray shadow flickered again.
Just like how we escaped gravity and leaped from the ground to the sky, this time, we will once again break free of our cage and head for a brand new realm.
And your method is to use gravity. The voice of the eyes was extremely calm, and it did not fluctuate because of the other party's words.
That's right, gravity will cause space to cave in, and this is the only opportunity. When the small balls pressing down on the tablecloth are gathered at a point instead of being naturally distributed, gravity will definitely bring about a different change. It is the opposite of the increase in entropy. It is a man-made order, and also the unique mark of life!
As the gravitational force grew stronger, the curvature of the nearby space would also gradually increase, just like a tablecloth being pressed down by a small ball. However, it would not continue to increase indefinitely. When it exceeded a certain limit, either the ball would become a new singularity and explode, or … the universe would be torn apart.
At this point, Roland seemed to hear the dull sound of a drum. It was the sound of the universe being beaten. The extremely distorted space would suddenly rebound after being pierced, and the vibration was strong enough to form a gravitational wave that could shake the world.
This crack would become a new source of life. It was connected to the region outside the universe. No one knew what was on the other side, but at least the deathly still balance would no longer exist, and energy would continue to flow for a long time.
This … is the path we have chosen.
And today.
This was a brand new step in life!
As the gray figure's voice landed, light suddenly burst out from its body, illuminating the entire space. The stars, galaxies, and nebulae were also revealed. The darkness instantly became rich, colorful, and beautiful.
Then, Roland saw an even more inconceivable scene.
Among the countless stars, there were even more fleets lined up. They were of different shapes and sizes, and some were even larger than stars. These unnatural creations were arranged in the form of a matrix, almost extending to the ends of one's vision.
Looking at this magnificent scene, he felt an indescribable shock.
There was no need to use any more words to describe it. This neatly arranged fleet in itself was a kind of order, representing the reduction of entropy. Only life would go against the essence of the universe, and only the body of a mayfly would challenge the vicissitudes of life.
Or rather, to live was to go against the heavens!
176,425 civilizations had reached an agreement to work together to complete this unprecedented project. We will move hundreds of billions of galaxies and gather together one ten-thousandth of the matter in the universe to create a man-made gravitational crack. Once successful, the direction of the world will be completely changed, and this project is Project Gateway!
This plan is risky. The eyes reminded.
On one side was risk, and on the other was eternal silence without hope. Was there a need to consider the choice? The light emitted by the gray shadow was gentle and firm. As I said, life will always be pretentious. However, just this alone is insufficient to complete Project Gateway. I need someone to coordinate the overall situation to allocate resources and various missions. Even after tens of millions of years, it will still be the same. I need your help to achieve this goal.
Of course. The eyes blinked. I exist for this.
…
The descent was extremely long.
It was so long that Anna began to doubt her judgment.
The sky above her head had already vanished. Even if she ignited a flame at her fingertips, it was unable to penetrate the endless darkness.
The depth of the Bottomless Land exceeded her imagination.
Anna even felt that she was passing through the core of the Earth.
The immense speed made her unable to hear anything other than the sound of the wind.
If her guess was wrong, she would probably be reduced to a pancake the moment she hit the ground.
The only fortunate thing was that the process wouldn't be painful. Before she could react, everything would be over.
With this in mind, Anna could not help but hug Roland tighter.
After an unknown period of time, she suddenly sensed that the whistling air currents by her cheeks were weakening.
This change made her feel refreshed!
A few minutes later, a faint light emitted from the 'abyss' below. But soon, she confirmed that it wasn't an illusion. The light was turning clearer as she approached.
And at that moment, she felt as though she had fallen into a layer of viscous air. The speed of her descent began to rapidly slow down, to the point of producing a sense of dizziness.
And when Anna's feet touched the ground, her speed had returned to the instant of her descent.
She did not experience much of an impact.
"Plop." A light sound came from behind her.
Anna traced the sound in surprise and realized that it was Nightingale. "Why are you …"
"This time, I won't hesitate or fall behind." Nightingale patted her pants and straightened her body. "Besides, how can I be at ease letting you act alone?"
"Clang!" At this moment, the third sound of landing was heard. It was Silent Disaster.
"Uh …" Nightingale immediately stood in front of Anna.
Anna was a lot calmer. "Don't worry. She's here for the Nightmare Lord."
"I'm just abiding by the agreement." After saying that, Serakkas looked around. "It looks like you've guessed correctly."
"Yes, this is the true body of the Realm of Mind." Anna nodded.
The place they were standing on was not rock or mud, but a metallic surface. It looked extremely smooth, and at the same time, it emitted rings of pure light. It was both solid and transparent, and it did not look like a creation of this world at all.
