Lan Mu had only cheated a little and made the chessboard bigger.
However, the Executor was even more ruthless. He turned all the black pieces into white pieces. At a glance, there was not a single black piece on the chessboard.
The Executor had even turned all the black holes into white holes from the perspective of the universe.
This meant that there were no more black holes in the world. Lan Mu had no more pieces to play.
Even if Lan Mu wanted to use void technology to create a black hole, it would only be a white hole.
Because the laws of nature had changed, unless he could add information, or his tampering was at the level of the universe, he would not be able to play a single piece.
However, Lan Mu had a plan. He reached out a finger and plucked a strand of his hair.
This strand of hair naturally curled into a ball and was placed on the chessboard like a chess piece.
His hair was the hardest in the universe. Even if the surrounding chess pieces were all miniature white holes, it would not be damaged.
"The silver heart … is erupting!"
Jiggs and the others watched with rapt attention. The two of them weren't playing chess at all. They were sparring.
On the board, Lan Mu was at a disadvantage. He had all the white pieces and only one black piece.
At first, they did not understand. However, when the silver heart's black hole erupted and turned into a white hole, they knew what that move meant.
"This chessboard is the universe. To change the situation of the chess pieces, the man in white set all the black holes in the universe to erupt according to the laws of nature."
"If this goes on, the environment of the universe will change completely!"
"We don't know if there will be a future! Don't worry about it! "
The silver heart and the other civilizations did not have the time to worry about the universe. They only looked at Lan Mu worriedly.
From the looks of it, Lan Mu was bound to lose. This showed that Lan Mu's tampering was not as good as the Executor's.
This was indeed the case. Lan Mu placed his piece casually. He did not even bother to look at it.
"What's the secret behind this? His box contains the Abyss and Fantasy figurines. If only I could find a way to open it. "
Lan Mu looked at the box. It was pure black, and it was seamless. If it wasn't for the curved top, which made it look like an iron box on Earth, Lan Mu would have thought that it was just a black cube.
"It's a pity that my methods are slightly clumsy in front of him. As long as he doesn't tamper with my body, I can only barely touch the edges …"
"It would be great if there was something that wasn't within his control …"
The Executor could even change the rules of the timeline, and even the Bastet Metal was created by him. What else could he not interfere with?
Lan Mu thought for a long time and came to a conclusion.
"The Pyramid of Doom? Can that thing deal with the Executors? "
Lan Mu did not believe it because the most awesome thing about the Pyramid of Doom was that it was unknown. Everything about it was too unknown. Even Odonis did not know the origin of the pyramid.
Even now, Lan Mu couldn't see through the pyramid's information.
Although it was mysterious, as for its power … Lan Mu had long felt that it was no threat to it.
"Let's give it a try!"
After the Executor quickly placed his chess piece, Lan Mu placed another piece made of his black hair.
The moment it landed, the surrounding space-time changed!
It was no longer the space of the Nameless Star System, but a piece of gray land.
It used to be an ocean, but now it was a barren wasteland. It was the destroyed Earth.
The chessboard was in the wasteland. The two of them sat on opposite sides, unaffected by the harsh environment.
This was not Lan Mu pulling the Executor to Earth. On the contrary, Lan Mu had shifted Earth's space-time to his side, swapping it with the previous space-time!
Heaven and earth moved without him moving.
Lan Mu had shifted a parallel Earth. In the multiverse, there were many Earths, and every Earth had its own pyramid. Lan Mu did not necessarily need to shift Earth's in his main universe.
Lan Mu had not recovered all the Earths in the parallel universe, so they were all wastelands. Even the planets were deformed.
A violent storm of heavy helium swept across the land, brushing past Lan Mu and the Executor. Their hair and sleeves fluttered in the wind.
But the two of them did not move at all. They were as steady as Mount Tai as they continued to play chess.
When switching space-time, Lan Mu had swapped the Nameless Star System with the Solar System of the parallel universe.
This caused Silver Heart and the other civilizations to be near this wasteland. They did not do anything, but the environment around them had changed drastically.
"We've been shifted? This is the Solar System? "
"No! The star map is different. The background stars have not changed. The Solar System is here! "
"And this is not the Solar System from before. This is a parallel Solar System that has not been restored."
"Why is that? The parallel Earth is a wasteland, except … "
All the civilizations saw Lan Mu and the Executor sitting next to the pyramid, playing chess.
As the speed of light decreased, all the substances on Earth changed. Only the pyramids remained the same from beginning to end.
All the atoms expanded, but the pyramid remained the same. All the atoms shrunk, but the pyramid remained the same.
The length of each side of the triangle was the same as it was in the past.
The Executor did not care about the sudden change in space-time. He did not even look at the pyramid.
"Do you recognize it?" Lan Mu asked.
The Executor put down a piece. Seeing Lan Mu point at the pyramid, he said, "I do, Earth's butler."
"Earth's butler?"
Lan Mu frowned. Seeing that the Executor did not care, his heart sank.
"It doesn't work on you, right?" Lan Mu asked.
The Executor coldly said, "It does. Any physical existence, as long as it's on Earth, can be affected."
Lan Mu was shocked. He did not expect the pyramid to actually work on the Executor. However, the Executor seemed to know the pyramid very well, so he did not care.
"What exactly does it do?"
The Executor looked at Lan Mu and said, "It's an anomaly, a very special anomaly. Anomalies that exist for no reason or reason are called anomalies. They exist without a purpose, which is one of the characteristics of anomalies. However, if you insist on asking why it exists, then I can only say … it exists to protect Earth and humanity, and it must be the kind of humanity that it allows, nothing else. "
Lan Mu whispered, "It must ensure that Earth evolves into the kind of human society that I was born in?"
"Yes, without the pyramid, this place would not be Earth. It could be called something else, but it would definitely not be Earth …" the Executor said.
Lan Mu's heart tightened. He could hear the deeper meaning in the Executor's words.
The pyramid was Earth's identity card.
It would ensure that Earth was Earth, the kind of Earth that the gods wanted.
In other words, where the pyramid was located, it had to be Earth.
At the same time, Lan Mu also understood why the Executor did not care even though he knew that the pyramid was effective against him.
Because the pyramid could only affect Earth.
Furthermore, the apocalypse that was triggered by the Amon people was actually to ensure that Earth evolved into what it should be. Now that there was no longer any life on Earth, what the pyramid should be worried about was how to create new life, not how to destroy or chase away 'outsiders'.
In fact, even if it did, the Executor could just warp and send this piece of space-time back, it wouldn't be too difficult.
"If that's the case, then it should change the world and allow Earth to give birth to new humans. Is this process going to take more than a billion years?" Lan Mu asked.
"No, its influence is not something you can sense. In fact, haven't you already restored humanity and everything on Earth? Restoring Earth in the main universe is enough, that's what's truly important. Compared to the main universe, the existence of other universes is far more insignificant than you can imagine … "the Executor explained.
Lan Mu was stunned. That was true, even if he restored Earth in the main universe, humanity would still be the same, and society would still be the same.
The pyramid would use any means possible to maintain Earth's situation, no matter who did it, as long as the result was right.
Since the main universe had already been restored, it wouldn't be too late for the other parallel Earths to be restored as well. Even the destruction of the dragons took tens of millions of years.
"Time only truly began when I was 27 years old. Isn't everything created by 001? What's the point of maintaining the pyramid? "Lan Mu asked.
The Executor said, "This timeline is indeed my own creation, but as I said, it was based on the backup information. The original backup is a timeline that has passed since the birth of the universe. Its history is the outline of all the subsequent timelines … When I created the timeline that existed since the beginning of Earth, I had to make sure that Earth was Earth's own ironclad rule! Without the pyramid, Lan Mu … you might not be an Earthling. "
"Changes in information are natural and fair. Without the pyramid, Earth's birth would be a coincidence. Anything is possible. I could design you as a dinosaur, or a silicon-based organism, or something else … you might not necessarily be a human. "
"It was because of the pyramid that Earth came into existence. It was because of Earth that the first true world consciousness was formed in the original timeline. It was 001. As the 'first,' it was also the consciousness of the Realm Manager."
Lan Mu suddenly understood. He hadn't expected the pyramid's origin to be even earlier than 001!
First the pyramid, then 001.
"How did the pyramid come into existence? Why did it protect Earth from being Earth? "
The Executor suddenly fell silent at Lan Mu's question.
