"How could such a thing happen?"
Bai Ge was stunned. He had already imagined the worst possible outcome, but he did not expect the side effects to be so disastrous.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly." Bai Ge gritted his teeth and glanced at Li Zhe. He had an extremely bad feeling about this.
At this moment, Li Zhe was floating in space with a baffled expression. Although he was in space, he did not feel any discomfort.
In fact, if he wanted to move around here, he could forcefully swim in space.
Li Zhe did not know where he was, nor did he know what Bai Ge was doing to him. When he saw Bai Ge floating in front of him, he did not dare move.
Ling Dang checked Li Zhe's information and said, "His anomaly is not a concept, but a forearm bone from his right hand. That right forearm bone has the characteristic of plundering the truth of dimensions and transforming it into a physical object. That physical object is the liquid we discovered earlier. I call it the Water of Destruction. Every drop contains a part of the truth of the dimension it is in. It is used to materialize the figurine and is gone. "
Bai Ge asked, "What are the specific consequences of consuming it?"
Ling Dang said, "Let's put it this way. Up until now, humanity's understanding of the universe is only the tip of the iceberg."
"That's right." Bai Ge nodded. This was self-evident.
Ling Dang said again, "Then, is there any life in this world that knows all the truths of the universe?"
"I don't think so … right?" Bai Ge pondered.
Ling Dang said, "Therefore, for the entire universe or the entire dimension, there is no life that knows all the truth of dimensions. No matter which race or intelligent civilization it is, there are still too many unknowns about this universe. "
"And these unknowns are the unproven truth of dimensions. They have not been observed or summarized. They can be considered objective existences but subjective existences. "
"These unknowns are transformed into physical objects by the Hand of Destruction. After all of them are consumed, these unknowns of the universe disappear from the path of exploration of all life."
Bai Ge was enlightened. He finally understood.
Assuming that there were a hundred truths of dimensions, all intelligent creatures only knew one of them, and there were still ninety-nine that they did not know.
These ninety-nine should have been gradually discovered, observed, summarized, and understood by intelligent creatures over time.
But now, because it was consumed, these unknowns were gone.
"If the laws of the unknown laws of nature are used, won't this universe change drastically?" Bai Ge said solemnly.
Ling Dang said, "No. Although I still don't know why, I can confirm that the laws of the universe will not disappear after the unknowns are removed..............
"It's as if … its' understanding option 'has been turned off."
............................... in fact.................................
But in reality, that wasn't the case. According to Ling Dang's discovery, what was being consumed was this unknown comprehension.
..................................
. If there were no more unknowns in the world, and the universe understood by intelligent civilizations was everything …
At first glance, it did not seem like it would affect the world, but in fact, it blocked the path of intelligent creatures' exploration and deprived them of the highest pursuit of life.
Bai Ge knew 99% of all human knowledge. He could be considered the most knowledgeable person among humans.
He had already learned a principle from looking at human history.
"Daring to use a limited life to pursue infinite possibilities is the greatest courage of humans."
"Ling Dang, shouldn't things like 'unknown possibilities' be infinite? Why do they have numbers? "Bai Ge suddenly asked with a glimmer of hope.
Ling Dang said, "No, you're referring to the fundamental truth, but I'm talking about the truth of dimensions. That is, the relative truth based on our dimension … "
"Actually, even if that's the case, strictly speaking, 'unknown possibilities' are still infinite in a relative sense."
Bai Ge was taken aback. "That's right! It's still infinite! "
"But … the Hand of Snatching Truth doesn't care so much. After all, it's not so heaven-defying that it can turn unimaginable things into the Water of Breaking Truth. It should only calculate a certain degree of limited truth, such as what can be imagined, or what intelligent civilizations have already come into contact with and experienced, but have yet to realize its existence … In short, even if the comprehensibility of these limited truths is deprived, it will still limit the development of all life, "Ling Dang said.
Indeed, if the comprehensibility of the unknown was shut off, then the higher unknowns, whether they could understand them or not, would be meaningless to life.
If the path from one shore to the other shore was gone, then what was the point of the other shore?
Bai Ge asked, "The development of different species in the universe will definitely be different. If the development of advanced civilizations is locked, what about the low-level civilizations? There is a path that advanced civilizations have already walked in front of them. They should be able to step into the limit step by step before falling into the state of 'incomprehensibility', right? "
If that was the case, then this impact might still be very far away from humans. After all, humans might only be a low-level civilization. Even if the sky collapsed, there would be tall people to hold it up. Humans could still slowly develop to a very high level before facing the predicament of having their comprehensibility shut off.
For current humans, it was very likely that there would be no adverse effects even after tens of millions of years of development.
However, Ling Dang said, "No, the truth transformed by the Hand of Snatching Truth also includes some things that advanced civilizations already know."
"The reason is very simple. It's because those things are still unknown to low-level civilizations."
"Let's say that the Theory of Dimensions is a hundred, and the Hand of Snatching Truth uses fifty. However, if there are civilizations in the universe that already know sixty, then this civilization will still exist. At most, the future generations will not be able to learn cutting-edge concepts. However, for civilizations below fifty, fifty is the limit. The highest level of understanding can only be reached. "
"Even if the civilizations that already know sixty completely display the technology that they have summarized to low-level civilizations, if they do not understand, then they do not understand."
"For example, the ancients do not know about gravity. If you try your best to explain Newton's ideas and use all means to demonstrate gravity to the ancients, they will definitely not understand. Because gravity is no longer comprehensible, it will become 'unknowable' in the eyes of everyone who has yet to understand it. "
Bai Ge was silent. This was the horror of having one's comprehension shut off. Not to mention the ancients, if he could transmigrate to when Newton was young, he would probably not understand gravity even if he was beaten to death.
Newton might have suddenly thought of gravity after being hit by an apple.
However, if it was Snatching Truth, let alone being hit by an apple, even if ten thousand apples were to cripple Newton, he would not think of gravity and would instead sell the apples.
Seeing that Bai Ge was silent, Ling Dang hurriedly said, "Lord, there is nothing that cannot be solved. If you want to understand something unknown, you can use the characteristic to forcefully understand it."
Bai Ge curled his lips and said, "Do I have to create a characteristic just to understand something? Before I was able to set the 'understanding of all Dimensional Principles', this method was completely meaningless and would only create countless anomalies in vain. This Hand of Snatching Truth is an anomaly! "
"Anomalies are even more terrifying than I imagined, they are simply uncontrollable! How can this be? How could a small portion of gamma ray energy create something that could shake the dimensional laws? This directly affects the fundamental interests of all intelligent creatures! "
Ling Dang said, "No, I'm not referring to the ability of imagination, but the Water of Rupture itself. Doesn't it have the characteristic of being able to manifest illusions? What if Universal Gravitation was broken, but at the cost of that, a character was resurrected who absolutely understood Universal Gravitation? The result would be that he can understand gravity, and would not be affected by the Rupture effect, resulting in a setting that does not conform to the original work. "
"No, even if I create such a person, what's the point? Snatching the truth of all living beings to fulfill one person? And this person is a 2-D character that shouldn't exist in the first place? Furthermore, before I can properly deal with this kind of disaster, I don't want to abuse the Hand of Snatching Truth. The price is too heavy, I would be letting down all intelligent creatures in the universe! "Bai Ge gritted his teeth.
He once again experienced the strangeness and uncontrollable nature of anomalies. The creation of anomalies was the biggest price to pay for forcing reality into the hands of imagination, and it directly distorted reality to create such a thing.
Compared to this, Lady Building, the System, and even the BGM were nothing but mild anomalies.
Ling Dang continued, "The easier it is for an anomaly to distort reality, the more distorted the price it has to pay … for example, the Hand of Snatching Truth … or imagination …"
"I suspect that the creation mechanism of anomalies is beyond the universe itself. The universe … or even the dimension itself … could be a victim! "
"Hah …" Bai Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't know whether to be happy that his imagination was the most distorted reality, or to be annoyed that the price he had to pay made him unable to control himself.
Anomalies were related to him, so regardless of how they were created, at the very least, every time he tried to force reality, an anomaly would be created. This was a known pattern.
No matter what, even if it was only out of a sense of responsibility, Bai Ge wouldn't allow an anomaly to go out of control.
Bai Ge then asked in a low voice: "How much Water of Destruction did Li Zhe use?"
Bai Ge glared at Li Zhe: "How many drops did you use? How many drops were there in the beginning? "
At this point, Bai Ge's gaze was terrifying. Li Zhe hurriedly answered: "300 drops! There are only 300 drops in total, I've been thinking about how to increase it! I only used fifty-six drops! "
At this point, Ling Dang also spoke up: "There are 244.1 drops left"
Bai Ge was surprised. Subtracting 56 drops from 300, that should be 244 drops, so what the hell is that 0.1 drop?
But he instantly realized, that's too much!
Bai Ge happily asked: "Ling Dang, does it automatically increase?"
Ling Dang denied it: "There's no such thing in the characteristics, the Water of Destruction is constant. However, after entering the brain hole, there's an additional 0.1 drop. I just discovered that it can transform the brain hole's Dimensional Truth into Water of Destruction for a short period of time "
"What about comprehension? Will the lost comprehension be partially recovered? "Bai Ge asked.
"Yes … the Water of Destruction will only be consumed after it's dripped onto the model, and that's when the comprehension will be taken away. 300 drops of Water of Destruction correspond to all the unknown comprehensions of the dimension. Replenishing 0.1 drop means recovering 0.1 drop of Dimensional Truth "Ling Dang explained.
"What? The brain hole can provide Dimensional Truth? "Bai Ge immediately laughed:" Isn't that solved? My brain hole can increase by 0.1 drop … I understand now, my brain hole doesn't correspond to the Hand of Destruction. Our dimension has Dimensional Truth that the universe doesn't have. I'm the absolute ruler, so I can also increase the rules in the brain hole. Doesn't that mean I can repeatedly refresh the Dimensional Truth? "
However, Ling Dang said: "You can set it as you wish, but it won't increase the Water of Destruction because the Hand of Destruction has already recorded it. No matter how you change it, it will be in the brain hole. The Hand of Destruction won't record it repeatedly."
"Furthermore, I discovered that although low dimensions can also transform the Water of Destruction, the Hand of Destruction will only obtain completely unknown truths. It doesn't care about things that are understood by creatures with brain holes …"
After listening to Ling Dang's explanation, Bai Ge finally understood.
The Hand of Destruction itself belonged to the real universe, and it was higher than the brain hole. Although it would accept the Dimensional Truth of the brain hole world, it would only take the most unknown part.
For example, it might only record the 'Path of Blue and White' because to the entire brain hole, no matter what rule it was, there would always be a powerhouse who understood it. The only thing that had not been understood was probably the Path of Blue and White.
"Tsk, if I had known, I would have set more useless realms. I deleted a lot of them back then!"
"If I set them now, will the Hand of Destruction not recognize them?" Bai Ge asked.
Ling Dang said: "Yes, but Lord, according to this method, we can plunder other lower dimensions … let them make up for the lost Dimensional Truth of the real universe."
