Chapter 1562: Chapter 738: Infinite Dreams, Weaving the Eternal Cage (Part 3)
In order to leave this place, Wei Liang gave it his all, only to discover an undeniable truth—this world contains things beyond physics.
No, or perhaps, even physics itself seems to be just one aspect of this extraordinary system’s cognition.
Because the new energy discovered by the Huaxia officials is actually the extraordinary material of this world.
Later... in their journey of exploring the extraordinary, setting sail, the Black Mist Era, and so on...
Everything was filled with the unknown and joy.
Until they came into contact with the waves of the "Angel" and understood true transcendence...
Later still, they exhausted every effort to discover the true existence behind that "Angel"—the "Root".
"The Root".
It is the core of infinite worlds and dimensions, seemingly its existence is the reason the "Red Star" navigator malfunctioned.
And the endless mighty force that twisted the "Red Star" navigator is the gravity emitted from the "Root" in higher dimensions.
Just like being captured by the gravity of a black hole, the "Red Star" fell, and in a desperate attempt to survive, used a principle similar to a "gravity slingshot" to complete the traverse.
Originally, they could have entered this world at the same time period, but due to gravity distorting time, with time between dimensions becoming liquid and non-linear, they arrived in this world countless years earlier in the same epoch and created a timeline with "them" in it...
Yet, precisely because they once perceived the "Root", this spacetime may be the closest to the "Root" among countless temporal events.
And there’s an even more terrifying aspect, where time does not linear flow through him, he was terrified to discover that in higher dimensions, time is not only non-linear but also not displayed as a liquid cage of time, but circular.
The Möbius Ring is one such loop.
All things exist in cycles and conclusions, much like the ouroboros, intersecting cause and effect, closing in parallel...
But time is not one time loop, but countless, infinite ones...
Time loops overlap and also have entirely different parts, like infinite destiny and causality.
In the infinite chaos, Lin Yi transcends continuously, surpassing even things and existences he doesn’t know.
Around him there is no light, yet there is immeasurable light.
He doesn’t know where he has reached, in his mind, there is only one thought—"The Root".
He wants to face "The Root" directly.
But where is "The Root"?
"The Root" has always been within the dimensions.
Reality yet surreal.
Hyperdimensional yet non-hyperdimensional.
"The Root" is a vector from higher dimensions, a quantity exerted by three dimensions on two, and a temporal force exerted by the mind on three dimensions, it exists eternally and is eternally imposed from higher dimensions to lower ones.
In his limited cognition, at this moment "The Root" is a collapsed point within infinite dimensions.
A steel ball placed on a blanket, or a sphere placed on countless nets.
Its existence crushes the nodes of every dimension, the closer you get to it, the greater the "distortion" you experience.
It is untouchable, irreversible, yet eternally existent, always existing one magnitude above any being trying to approach it.
And Lin Yi... in the moment pierced by the flow of time or the eternity of being pierced, infinitely approaches "The Root" in the infinity—compared to "The Root", he is Zeno’s tortoise.
He cannot expel "The Root".
But he can infinitely approach "The Root".
Because "The Root" will always transcend him, so long as he transcends more, "The Root" will transcend him even more, until—he pulls himself and "The Root" into a certain "loop" with a paradox.
An upward time-loop paradox... a dimensional loop!
The power of mortals, could it shake rules?
This is precisely the paradox that emerges at the limits of rule operation, just like what wall-facer Luo Ji did.
Lin Yi traverses endlessly, forgetting time—no, there is no concept of time here at all, not even a concept of dimension, nor a concept of "The Root".
He seems to be a part of "The Root", traversing time, spanning history, and extending throughout ancient, present, and future...
In the dimensions, no one can bear "The Root", and within "The Root" everything about Lin Yi is dissipated.
There remains only "0" and "1".
The most primitive binary power...
...
