above the sky

Chapter 1080 The Tree of Ending, Black Hole Engine (7200)

Ian is diving into the depths of the etheric sea.

The so-called etheric sea, to put it bluntly, is the 'past future' and 'parallel time and space' of 'this space and time'. Just like Ian can see other paths with precognitive vision, that is actually Ian's glimpse of the etheric sea. From the direction of the tributary, you can see the scenery on the other side of the ocean.

After becoming the 'Half-Step Star God', although Ian could not truly transcend time and space and 'physically travel' to those parallel times and spaces, he could still observe many situations in parallel times and spaces after giving up all his physical body.

To put it simply, Ian can now observe any path at any time, and continue to observe it indefinitely - provided that he has a causal relationship with this path, just like he must have really encountered an insect nest before he can observe it indefinitely. Observe the infinite paths of the insect swarms.

Ian can now be said to be the most powerful Ian in all parallel time and space, but he still knows too little information. He must collect his own "paths he has experienced" and summarize all the information before he can become Become stronger, and then understand the real enemy that hinders you from reaching the sky.

'Finally'.

Fortunately and unfortunately, just as Ian can now observe his own path infinitely, Ian has indeed seen "infinitely many endings" in all parallel time and space.

Unlike the only Star God who has become a ring and therefore has infinite parallel time and space, he is probably an 'infinite' end in itself and does not need to turn himself into a ring. He exists in infinite parallel time and space at the same time, and every time and space is The subject is like an infinite tree with infinite branches and buds.

Ian and the Heart of Terra are together. When the Heart of Terra saw through the Grand Duke of Mount Ridge, he also saw through Bocaon's current form - an infinitely average person who exists in infinite parallel time and space at the same time, but is still just The peak of the fourth energy level.

The same is true of the ultimate, but because its essence is infinite, even if it exists in infinite parallel time and space at the same time, every 'fragment' of it is infinite.

The star god who had become Tamaki was helpless.

But even though the prospect was so desperate, Ian still judged an extremely critical piece of information from many paths and many situations he observed.

——Ultimately there is no self-awareness.

Although it is not certain, this is the result that Ian obtained after he became a star god and relied on the special characteristics of 'ether' and his 'half-human, half-star god' to observe the fragments of the end and the cradle of the end.

As for why we get this answer, the reason is simple.

Because the end cannot induce the 'observation effect' in the 'large ether circulation'.

Any intelligent creature with a mind that comes into contact with the ether will be transformed by the ether.

Even weak creatures that cannot withstand the ether can be transformed by the source matter and spiritual energy after the ether has been transformed, just like primitive humans. After adapting to these two powers, they can use their own will to combine the source matter and spiritual energy. The spiritual energy merges into one, and then sublimates into the ether.

This road is available throughout the universe. Whether it is elemental life, silicon-based life, amino life, gaseous life, photon ideas or even all messy life forms, they can be promoted through the ether and eventually become star gods.

As long as you can 'observe', you can embark on this path. It is nothing more than your talent level, and success will come sooner or later.

So, what should you do if you have no self, no wisdom, and no ability to observe?
It doesn't matter, Star God has already thought of it.

Even a stone or a piece of grass will be infiltrated by the ether, and gradually become a special sublimation material, gathering a large amount of spiritual essence, and then giving birth to a soul, and finally gain soul and wisdom, becoming a 'fairy' and 'elementary life' Or maybe it's some kind of special earth-bound spirit.

Everything in this universe can be turned into intelligent life.

All intelligent life has self-awareness, dreams and strength, and can pursue its own goals and meaning.

This desire to chase will turn into immortality, running through infinite parallel time and space, and in turn enhance the great ether circulation.

The Great Ether Circulation is expanding all the time, absorbing all new possibilities and parallel worlds, and constantly evolving and improving, becoming larger and larger - and the purpose of all this is to allow more lives to better Chase your dreams.

——This is an extremely gentle universe created by the Star God.

But in the end he rejected this tenderness.

No, not such a malicious act.

——In the end, I didn't realize such 'gentleness'.

Because He probably does not have a 'self'.

Because there is no self, because there is no self-consciousness, just simple 'existence', all actions are 'instinct reactions', without any yearning originating from the 'heart'.

Just like ants will move back to their nests to eat when they encounter food, just like plants will grow in the direction of the sun, just like worms will curl up when stimulated by the outside world...

The End is likely to be such an existence: He does not have any subjectivity and just uses pure wisdom and instinct to deal with everything.

It's just that His information base is so large that it can cover all unexpected situations and achieve a 'perfect response'.

Just like the wisdom of the Star Gods is so vast, even the mentally retarded and unfinished individual among them, the Grand Duke of Junling Castle, has wisdom beyond that of ordinary humans. As long as the information base is large enough, he can eventually deal with all situations.

Precisely because He has no self-awareness, He will not actually be screened by the ether, nor will he be noticed by the 'ether'.

In other words, as the star god who is the incarnation of ether, it is difficult to observe the end.

Just like a bat that cannot receive ultrasonic waves can only perceive that there is a blank space in front of it, the star god who cannot receive 'etheric feedback' cannot judge the existence of the end and can only determine this place through various side feedbacks.' There is a huge and difficult monster'.

And this monster cannot even recognize itself, has no 'desires' and no 'dreams', and its essence is so huge that the ether cannot give it a soul at all. Instead, it will be used by him to become his tool that transcends time and space.

It sounds incredible, but this actually involves a very serious issue.

——What is the use of self-awareness?

The self-awareness of ordinary humans is actually very slow. Before they realize their decision-making, the decision-making has actually been completed. Just like after a person raises his hand, it takes a short period of time to clearly realize this. .

'I' who am aware of my own behavior are not actually the real decision-maker, but an observer. 'I' actions are not actually managed by 'self-awareness'.

This is highlighted by the 'blindsight' phenomenon that occurs in people with normal vision systems who have damaged part of the brain.

As we all know, human beings actually do not see with their 'eyes', but with their 'brains'. The eyes are nothing more than an optical signal capture device, an image display device. Everything that people 'see' is 'imagined' by the brain. The picture that comes out is very different from the real world.

A patient with blindsight lacks the ability to imagine images. His eyes can still capture light, and his brain receives relevant information, but he does not know how to turn this information into images.

But it doesn't matter, even if the patient can't see, their 'body' will still react in various ways in other ways, just like 'seeing'.

A blind-sighted patient is walking on the road. To him, he is blind and his vision is pitch black, but his body will move on its own and suddenly move backwards - the next moment, a dump truck rumbles from where he was just standing. And passed.

His brain received the signal and responded, but his 'self-awareness' didn't know it.

Anton Babinski syndrome is the opposite of blindsight: they are actually unable to see due to some kind of brain damage, but they think they can see because the brain 'imagines' various optical signals and deceives them. The patient himself.

'Consciousness' may exist, but it is not the real controller - the human body's physical instincts have wisdom beyond what many people imagine, and capabilities that exceed self-awareness itself.

'Self-awareness' and 'wisdom' are not equated.

A 'philosophical zombie' without self-awareness can also be very smart. It can imitate humans and seems to have emotions, just like humans. However, it has no emotions and self, only its 'wisdom' judgment. It can better imitate humans. Survive.

Human beings have actually realized this for a long time.

Ian couldn't help but recall what Hilliard said when he first taught him the 'way of sublimation'.

[——Humans are not a species that can directly see the truth. What they see with their eyes is just like looking through a mirror, which is illusory and hazy]

The brain is an organ that can deceive people, and it is an organ that deceives itself just for the sake of 'comfort', and the 'subjectivity' of self-awareness may be the result of the brain's self-deception.

Therefore, the mind-light body came into being.

The phenomenon of 'self-awareness defect' and 'blindness' among human beings has been overcome by the ether. At the third energy level, the heart-light body is the condensation of self-consciousness. It controls the body without any delay. It is consciousness that controls the brain and body. Not the other way around.

The heart-light body also represents the integration of the human soul and body. People can perfectly control all their instincts, use their own will to drive neural reflexes, and use pure willpower to drive theoretically incapable physical actions.

This 'cultivation through falsehood' is the foundation of human sublimation.This road goes to the extreme, which is immortality and the Star God.

But what if there is a life that is born 'true'?

For example, there is a singularity at the end of the universe, and such an existence emerges from the agglomeration of all the information that has appeared in the entire universe from its birth to its end.

In other words, there is a regular 'phenomenon' that can reproduce itself, protect its own existence, and continue to reproduce.

A 'life'.

He is the gravitational wave itself that contains all the information from the birth to the end of the universe. It is generated by the final black hole. It bends in accordance with the fixed space axis and moves on the time axis. It takes 'infinite time' to fall into the 'final starting point'. 'Gravity information living body.

He contains everything in his body, because all the material information in the universe returns to the final singularity with the 'Big Collapse', so they can directly touch the 'Truth', 'The Avenue', 'Akashic Records', or all useful information. To describe this concept of 'infinite knowledge'.

——Because I know everything, I don’t need to think, I don’t need to doubt or be curious, I won’t question it, and I won’t think it’s imperfect.

——Because it understands everything, it is both one and whole, strength and wisdom, reincarnation and transcendence, ending and creation.

——Because it is everything in itself, it does not need transcendence or coordination, it neither lives nor dies, it exists and will exist forever, and it will continue and continue forever.

——Because everything is perfect, there is no need to react or do anything.

——So everything is [meaningless].

Such a life that is almost 'omniscient' and born with 'infinite potential' certainly does not need a self, nor does it need to do anything, because its perfect wisdom tells it that it only needs to 'wait' .

Waiting for the [miracle] to happen.

Miracles do happen.

Because of the light born from the source of the universe, the ether created by the Star God transcends time and space, transcends the event horizon, transcends the history of the universe, and becomes a 'ring'.

The power of the Great Etheric Circulation even penetrates the 'end' of the universe.

The power of true ether transcends time, from the distant past to the future of the end of the universe, and pierces the event horizon and timeline of the end of the black hole, shining 'light' through the entire infinite universe. Inside the event horizon of all material information.

So, 'perfection' was broken.

The 'ultimate' is no longer omniscient and perfect, and the 'truth' it possesses is no longer the real truth, but a 'defective truth'.

the reason is simple.

Because 'Star God' and 'Ether' are forces that transcend time and space, they will not be destroyed by the destruction of the universe and sink into the final black hole.

Even if the universe is destroyed, Star God and Aether will not be destroyed.

Even if the universe collapses and becomes unified, Star God and Aether will not collapse.

The ultimate outcome of the collapsed infinite universe, the 'final black hole', is not the 'collection of all information and truth', but the 'collection of information of the infinite universe excluding the Star God and the Ether'!
Relying on the Great Ether Circulation, the Star God can bring all the intelligent life in the universe, from the moment before the destruction of the universe, directly back to the 'beginning of the birth of the infinite universe', taking the entire etheric universe civilization circle, and collectively live another life!
Because the etheric universe is infinite, it always has space to accommodate an infinite number of lives, so descendants countless billions of years from now can live in the same universe as their ancestors at the beginning of civilization, but the distance between them is infinite. , no causal relationship.

The so-called 'Bernard Multiverse' is a model to describe such a universe, and this model is only a part of the etheric universe.

From the end of time and space, to the beginning of time and space.This is also a 'ring'.

Transcending time and space, infinitely superimposing, growing larger and larger, constantly multiplying itself, every moment is countless times larger than the last moment... This is the real power of the Great Ether Circulation!

This kind of [travel] that transcends time and space is undoubtedly a kind of [miracle].

But this miracle also led to one thing.

'The end' is no longer the truth.

The original truth and the great road represent 'everything', and as the end of the universe, the end is life condensed from all information - He originally thought so, but after being illuminated by the ether, he discovered that the fundamental It's not like this.

What He has is nothing but 'everything except etheric life', and in the etheric universe, 'information about etheric life' is the majority.

He is obviously the truth, but there are still many 'unknowns' that he does not know - those etheric beings that have never fallen into the 'final black hole' are to Him a kind of incomprehensible thing that 'should not exist but exists yet' Indescribable things.

Just as only a universe with broken symmetry can have life, only truths that are not truths can act.

Because of [Miracle], the end of [Nothingness] no longer waits.

At the moment when the ether submerged into the black hole of the end, the real "end" was born.

—and He took action.

But ultimately there is no self.

His actions are essentially just a manifestation of the phenomenon of 'the end of the universe'.

The 'end of the universe' will collapse all material information. This phenomenon is only limited to the vicinity of the 'terminal singularity' and within the event horizon of the terminal black hole. It cannot transcend time and space and only exists at 'the moment when the universe ends'.

However, the ether breaks the event horizon, allowing the 'living truth' embodied by the 'end of the universe' to climb along the ether to other time and space.

It's like a tree and sunshine.

A tree of the abyss rooted in the final black hole at the end of the universe, chasing the 'ether' that represents sunlight, derives infinite branches and buds, spreading from the end of the future to the beginning of the past, to 'embrace everything'.

Then, 'collapse' - 'return to the end of the universe'.

That is, a 'black hole'.

- Whenever a tree moves closer to the light and to the heights, its roots will penetrate deeper into the earth and into the darkness.

In this way, we can explain the 'action logic' that will eventually follow the action of the ether and turn all stars into black holes.

For the ultimate black hole, every time a 'black hole' is created, it is equivalent to creating a hole directly connected to the 'final black hole', breaking the barrier of cause and effect, time and space.

To put it simply, after finally using his power to turn a sun into a black hole, not even the Star God could turn the black hole back into a star.

The space-time domain that this star once covered, from the time it turned into a black hole to the end of the universe, belongs to the 'end' and is no longer the 'star god'.

The more black holes there are, the closer this 'time period' is to the 'end of the universe'. To put it simply, 'etheric life forms' are less able to survive, and the less life that exists in this time and space will be, or it will be terminated. 'Collapse', subsumed into the singularity.

If all the stars turn into black holes within a certain period of time, then all the time from this period of time until the end of the universe will be completely controlled by the End and cannot be used by the Star God and other etheric creatures.

For mortals who have not transcended the understanding of time and space, from this time period, all living things have become 'extinct', and the universe has moved towards annihilation and a long demise.

This is the ultimate 'scorched earth tactic'.

A kind of "timeline battle" that gradually takes over the past from the future and spreads towards the "beginning of creation".

Currently, in the battle between Star God and Zhongyan, Zhongyan has the upper hand.

Even if the Star Gods and the Great Etheric Gyre carry other etheric beings through time and space, they cannot place their lives in a time period where all black holes are present - they must travel back to an earlier universe, or...

Create [cradle].

The cradle is a small universe that is independent of the big universe. When the big universe collapses into a 'final black hole', the cradle is still independent and will always be independent. It will not be captured by the final, nor will it be discovered by the final - as long as the ether does not overflow. , in the eyes of the end, these things that will not collapse into the black hole of the end, simply do not exist.

Moreover, because of the existence of a perpetual motion machine in the cradle, each cradle can be regarded as a larger 'ring', which has infinite power and can exist forever.

The tribe protected in the cradle is always safe (unless the cradle is broken).

But this is only a stopgap measure.

Because if he continues to gain the upper hand in the end, he will eventually attack the origin of the Star God, which is the 'original singularity' at the beginning of its creation.

Just as the 'final singularity' contains all the information of the universe, the 'original singularity' also contains all the information of the universe - even because of the 'transcendence of time and space' characteristics caused by the ether, the information and possibilities contained in the original singularity are higher than In the end, the singularity must be bigger.

Past and future, origin and end, are equivalent there.

That is the real 'waiting place' in the end.

If he finally reaches the 'original singularity', there will be only one ending.

The 'beginning' and 'end' of the universe are simultaneously occupied by the 'Tree of Ending' that continues to spread across the past and future - this 'living truth' that is originally 'infinite' will constitute an unprecedented ' Ring', 'infinite infinite ring', is constructed by two infinite 'black holes' rotating with each other across time and space...

【Black Hole Engine】

A true [infinite element].

If that time really comes...

"Even the Star God can only admit defeat."

Wandering in the ether sea, Ian not only failed to find the possibility of defeating the end, but also came to a very frightening conclusion: Even now the Star God has made various responses, such as canceling the ether, creating a cradle, and letting 'Chase The tree of sunshine has lost its direction and cannot continue to grow.

But as long as the 'Star God' still exists and the ether still exists, then the end of constantly looking back at time will inevitably go back to the 'beginning of creation', and then learn the most essential power of the Star God and turn oneself into an infinite universe level' The Ring of Infinity'.

An 'infinite power engine' that is on the same level as the Great Ether Circulation, or even surpasses it, is the Black Hole Engine.

However, then again.

Ian has no intention of defeating the Endgame—at least not within the next few million years.

His purpose is just to leave the cradle and head to the big universe.

It sounds strange.

[Cradle] is obviously a small prototype of the universe created by the Star God in order to protect many lives. As long as you are in the cradle, you don't have to worry about the invasion of the end. Even if the cradle on Terra has a gap, Ian shouldn't always think about it. Go out now.

But it is not.

In Ian's view, the essence of the Star God is actually 'the unknown possibility beyond the established destiny'.

The end of the universe is the [established destiny].

And the Star God's action of using the ether to travel beyond time and space and prevent intelligent life from falling into the final black hole is exactly a [miracle beyond the future]!
This kind of miracle will create "unknown possibilities that do not exist in theory", create "a real future that will not be swallowed by the end" and "infinite parallel time and space".

This possibility, this miracle and the unknown are the Star God's most powerful power.

But they chose to shrink and create a cradle to hide.

This may be to protect more intelligent life, but in the end it still allows the end to gain the upper hand.

But Ian is different.

He doesn't protect all intelligent life in the universe. If he must protect it, he can just protect his friends among Terran humans.

He loves, but not as much as Star God, and because of this, his love is more genuine.

The good thing is that although the Star Gods may have been confused by being too gentle and put themselves at a disadvantage, they still accomplished many things - for example, they canceled the ether of the universe, leading to the current end. It is almost impossible to move in the big universe.

Likewise, this also means that the 'big universe' outside the cradle is no longer the 'etheric universe'!

The form of the universe outside the cradle today is most likely the 'original form of the universe' that gave birth to the Star God... and the 'original extraordinary power' he and the Fairy Queen speculated about may have surfaced again!
It is for this reason that Ian is going to the 'Big Universe'.Only there can he find the most primitive power.

Moreover, Ian has not forgotten that he is actually a 'traveler'!
Outside the universe, there are other universes... Because he once became a Star God, Ian can be sure that the 'Earth' he lived in was a universe without ether!An 'alien universe'!
The high sky he wants to move towards is not just a 'universe beyond the cradle', but also a 'universe beyond the etheric universe', a true [multiverse]!
In other universes outside the universe and even in the multiverse, we may be able to find 'greater possibilities', and then find the possibility of victory in the future, or in other words, the possibility of restoring the end.

The premise of all this is to 'leave the cradle'!
The prerequisite for leaving the cradle is to 'repair the cradle'!
Real world, Terra.

【The end?If that is the enemy we have to deal with, I will definitely lose.】

The Grand Duke of Junling Castle took out a spar that shone with blue lightning from his body: [However, I don’t know why, but I always feel that it is not an invincible target - if it is your father, If it were Ian Yinfeng... maybe he could win! 】

With that said, he took out the 'Dragon Crystal Heritage of the Dragon of Terra' and gave this heritage, which contained the 'Cradle Repair' technology, to the 'Heart of Terra'.

[Follow the contract, I will give it to you]

[The Heart of Terra, the messenger of Ian Silver Peak, this is the secret of the Dragon of Terra inheritance]

[I hope you can rely on it to find a better future]

"I will."

At this moment, the Heart of Terra took over the box.

At this moment, Ian Yinfeng took over the box.

At this moment, the pioneer took the box.

then.

In this universe that is gradually heading towards the end, towards the end, towards [predetermined destiny]; this corner of boundless time and space, an insignificant body in infinite life.

After experiencing countless reincarnations, countless rebirths, prophecies and despair.

He finally took the most important step towards the 'unknown'...

first step.
