Chapter 1030
Chu Xuan's Box Theory
After Chu Xuan finished speaking, he looked at the bewildered crowd and sighed helplessly.
Let me give you an analogy.
Do you think the existence of the cycle of reincarnation is reasonable?
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Chu Xuan.
Even Jonathan and Imhotep, who usually play dumb, are no exception.
The two of them already knew something from the hotel six days ago.
For example, Li Xiao and Zheng Zha from the Zhongzhou team do not belong to this world.
They even say there are many worlds like the one they live in.
This is just one of them.
Moreover, the names given to these worlds are quite strange.
Sometimes it's called the horror movie world, sometimes the movie world, and this Chu Xuan often refers to it as the reincarnation world.
The two exchanged a glance but remained silent, choosing to listen quietly.
Standing behind Chu Xuan, Saito Hajime pondered, "What's unreasonable about this?"
Chu Xuan asked, "In your eyes, this world is like a world from a mummy horror movie."
"What about five thousand years ago?"
Tell me, what is this world?
"And how can sages and immortals guarantee that after five thousand years of change, this world will eventually develop into the world they desire?"
"Will O'Connor and Evelyn appear?"
Does such an omniscient and omnipotent being truly exist?
Chen Zilong and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Cheng Xiao added, "If that's the case, then at first glance it sounds a bit fake. Isn't it just like a script? The Truman Show?"
Chu Xuan did not answer the question but continued:
"This is the first point that is unreasonable."
"Secondly, is this world Earth?"
Seeing someone nod, Chu Xuan gave a cold smile.
"If so, did they create one based on the real Earth? Or did they create a so-called parallel world?"
"Or perhaps it was simply a transformation of another planet into the shape of Earth?"
"Is every horror movie world we visit actually a planet that has been artificially modified?"
"If that's the case, then it makes sense, because we lose consciousness of that time each time we arrive and return."
"This process can be seen as a side effect of ultra-long-distance teleportation or space jump."
"But don't forget, in addition to what I've mentioned above, there's also the element of historical chance."
"Even if this is an Earth that has been manipulated and set up by humans, why would a civilization, after evolving over a long period of time, develop a culture similar to that of Earth?"
Even the distribution across certain continents, certain countries, or even a specific individual.
Chu Xuan looked at everyone.
"I imagine you've all met many historical figures during your time in Asia, haven't you?"
Do you really think they exist in the real world?
Those who had experienced it before nodded subconsciously.
There must have been some story behind gaining their approval.
Chu Xuan, however, showed no interest in their story and continued:
"If so, then what is the truth of this world?"
"If not, then how did these people appear?"
Chu Xuan's voice softened as he spoke.
"Actually, I've already done the experiment."
“Moss’s database contains the genetic data of certain individuals, which you would call DNA. After comparison, the results show that they are completely identical.”
"They are so identical that there is not the slightest difference between them, just like a clone."
Do you know what this means?
Seeing the others remain silent, Li Xiao, rubbing his forehead, spoke first:
"The saints who unlock the fifth stage of the gene lock and the immortals at the peak of cultivation possess the ability to create worlds, create humans, and control time."
Chu Xuan nodded and continued:
"What you're saying is the foundation of everything."
We can assume that every horror movie represents a real parallel world.
It's like a big tree, with the real world being the trunk.
These horror movie worlds are parallel universes that exist alongside the main storyline.
"If that's the case, then the timelines of the main world and the parallel world should have been synchronized."
Even if every choice and every point in time creates different parallel worlds, this would still be the case.
"But the saints and immortals manually controlled them, speeding up some worlds and slowing them down in others."
Zhu Wen asked, "If that's the theory, then what about time travel in Harry Potter?"
Chu Xuan waved his hand, and the AI on his wrist projected a straight line, with the endpoint of the line lighting up and scattering countless branches.
"One branch of it is the world of Harry Potter, and the seven nodes on a line extending from this branch represent the first to the seventh books."
“If you zoom in on each node, you will see many scattering timelines appearing in this parallel world.”
"What you call going back to the past is just being replaced from one parallel world to another. If it is observed and noticed, then these two worlds will merge into one at the point of returning to the past."
As they spoke, everyone saw the two magnified dotted lines merge into a line that was closer to a solid line. This solid line continued to advance and began to diverge again, as if it were endless.
“But I think there must be some limitations to this method of controlling time. Remember the map Jonathan brought?”
"There are three times listed above: one is three hundred years before the decision to build the God Space, one is three days before the completion of the God Space, and the last is the day of completion."
"It's as if they knew from the beginning that the construction of the Main God Space would take three hundred years, and they could even pinpoint the exact day..."
As he spoke, Chu Xuan suddenly sighed:
"Unfortunately, at this stage, neither theory nor practice meets the requirements; the experimental conditions for time are not yet mature..."
"So what exactly is this enemy that they all find troublesome and have no choice but to unite with?"
Zero, at the very back of the crowd, interrupted Chu Xuan and asked the question he had been pondering.
Chu Xuan paused for a moment, then raised his hand to push up the frame of his glasses:
"There's only one possibility I can think of: creators from beyond these worlds!"
"Or perhaps it is an existence outside of this timeline."
Saito Hajime murmured, "Outside the world? Outside of time? The creator?"
Aren't these three contradictory?
Chu Xuan shook his head: "No, it's not contradictory."
As he spoke, Chu Xuan's face once again revealed an excited and enthusiastic expression.
His gaze swept over the entrance and the various traces inside.
"Actually, besides the parallel world theory I just described, there is another possibility that is sufficient to support the Main God Space and everything we have experienced."
"There are some madmen among scientists in the real world."
"Truly insane people. Without exception, their IQs are all at the pinnacle of human intelligence, but they eventually went mad when they studied one law after another of truths."
"Because they discovered that the universe is so harmonious that there are only two possibilities in a lake."
"Either there are no fish, or there are plenty of fish."
"The reality of having only one fish is a paradox." "In the development of science and technology, there are countless theories and formulas, and everything can be perfect if just one small law goes wrong."
For example, the relative forces between electrons and atoms might increase or decrease slightly, or there might be a tiny error in gravity.
"For example, if the speed limit in a vacuum were increased further, do you know what the consequences would be?"
"It's actually very simple: the world will be destroyed, and everything will cease to exist."
"Because all these formulas and laws are the underlying code of this world. The world exists because of their correct operation. Once they are wrong, the universe will not exist, let alone the planets and galaxies within it."
"By working backward, we can find a theorem: the reason we exist and the world exists here proves the universality of the underlying code."
“Every world we’ve been to runs on the same set of code.”
"Don't you understand this phenomenon?"
Zhang Jie, standing next to Li Xiao, seemed to understand something and excitedly shouted, "I know! So it's The Matrix?"
Chu Xuan looked excitedly into the depths of the cave entrance.
"That's right, it's a program."
"It's the Matrix world."
"It's just more real and magical than the Matrix."
"You should know that as human technology continues to evolve, whether it's The Matrix, Alien, or Terminator, these are not the end."
"Although their technologies differ, they share common characteristics. Suppose that humanity develops a true artificial intelligence, or intelligent life."
"Then let this life consciousness enter a supercomputer with infinite computing power, and then simulate the entire universe, so that new life can evolve."
"These life forms constantly develop, evolve, and then explore."
Do you think they can discover the truth of this world?
How do they perceive their own universe? How do they view us? How do they view our world?
Chu Xuan seemed to have discovered something remarkable in that instant, and his expression became even more unfathomable.
"etc…………
There seem to be no restrictions here...
I didn't feel like I was being noticed...
Chu Xuan regained his composure.
"I see, compared to those, this is the real reward!!!"
"This is a place where the existence of the main god can be truly shielded!"
As he spoke, Chu Xuan looked at Li Xiao with shining eyes.
Li Xiao was stunned from the very beginning.
Especially after Chu Xuan said those two sentences, Li Xiao's expression completely changed.
Because of what Chu Xuan said next.
"Similarly, how can you be sure that this world isn't a tiny box created in this way? Or even just someone's book?"
"The entire universe operates within this small box; the story of us and what follows is unfolding in someone's book."
"If that's the case, then the question arises... who exactly are the enemies of the sages and immortals?"
They are invincible inside this box, so their enemies can only be one of two possibilities.
The first one is the creator of this box, who is also the one who controls our destiny.
The second possibility is that it exists outside the box.
These entities are like viruses in a computer program, invaders from another world.
As Chu Xuan spoke, he walked to the front of the group and saw the end of the overhead circuit.
The absence of electric lights actually makes the area brighter and clearer.
Because compared to the orange glow of the electric lights, there were several stones here that emitted a milky white light.
"What a disappointing conclusion. Everything we have, whether it's the universe or anything else, is just a toy created by a higher level of life..."
"However, from another perspective, if this speculation is true, then the level that these saints and immortals can reach becomes quite intriguing!"
"Because without realizing it, these beings also seem to have acquired the ability to create boxes, and this God Space is the best proof of that."
"I think those who possess this power have most likely touched some kind of taboo, as if the higher level of existence forbade it, but they did it anyway."
"That's why they were attacked by the creators of the boxes, or by viruses created by creators outside the boxes."
"If that's the case, it actually proves one thing: this place isn't like the Matrix in The Matrix."
"It's not about bringing our consciousness into a virtual space, nor is it a hypnotic dream."
"It is a real world."
"This would actually prove that it is the first type... no, it should be a combination of both."
Chu Xuan's words were enough to shock Saito and the others.
Even Zhao Yingkong and Lingdian were staring intently at their surroundings.
Because they discovered that Chu Xuan's deduction could perfectly explain most of the information they had obtained so far.
For example, the messages they saw from saints showed that even beings as powerful as themselves were terrified of life forms that broke through boundaries.
It is even something that forces fifth-order gene locks and cultivators who have already become immortals to join forces.
However, these two existences have already reached the very top.
The only thing that could terrify them is something beyond their reach.
Only in this way can they be intimidated; otherwise, it will only result in a three-way power struggle, rather than a union between the saints and cultivators.
Not to mention fear.
Just as everyone in the Zhongzhou team was pondering these words, Li Xiao noticed a burning gaze.
He looked over.
Li Xiao could sense that Chu Xuan seemed to want to say something.
However, this person hesitated unusually and ultimately remained silent.
Li Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he roughly guessed what Chu Xuan meant by his very first words.
The lack of restrictions likely means that this place has already transcended the scope of the Main God Space.
Compared to the two ruins discovered earlier.
The suspended ancient tomb created by the yellow-skinned cultivators here seems to be of a higher level.
After regaining his composure, Li Xiao spoke:
"Do you think it's possible that this place holds some truth?"
Looking at Li Xiao who had said those words, Chu Xuan paused for a moment as if unwilling before saying, "Even so."
"We probably won't be able to get it!"
"The fact that we were able to get here shows that those white-skinned saints must have made ample preparations."
"...Anyway, let's do our best."
After they finished speaking, the Zhongzhou team members, Imhotep, and Jonathan had already walked several kilometers.
After Chu Xuan finished his analysis, the two of them stopped listening because of a headache, and then walked to the front to lead the way.
After about ten minutes, we reached a certain boundary.
Jonathan suddenly became excited: "Are you all ready!"
"It's just ahead."
Looking at the road that seemed to be missing nothing but a directional sign, Saito couldn't help but wonder:
"Wait, Jonathan, are you sure this is an ancient tomb?"
"Not a single trap or mechanism?"
"No forks in the road yet? It's just one straight road leading there??"
Jonathan turned around and said matter-of-factly, "What else? That's how it was when we came in." (End of Chapter)
