【"Earth."】

Yes, your birthplace, the source of your journey, Earth.

[Have you considered two possibilities for your own time travel? One is that you are a projection from a higher-dimensional spacetime, traversing from a higher spacetime plane to this lower-level world, the Boundless Void Sea.]

[Another possibility is... you were born in the Boundless Void Sea, but due to spacetime effects or something else, you were born in the Source of Light Dust.]

[As for where you originally were? Perhaps in a "magic-free spacetime" within the Source of Light Dust, or perhaps in some other universe separated by countless light-years.]

[But you've been gone too long, a thousand or eight hundred years have passed, and you can no longer find that hometown you once knew.]

However, after seeing information about the two Dao Lords of the Void World in the simulator's entries during the last simulation, you began to question for the first time: perhaps there is a third possibility.

You come from the origin, from the very first universe.

At that time, the Earth you lived on, your family and friends—they all existed in the most ordinary part of the universe.

Later, humanity ventured into the vast universe.

Among the human race that has proliferated into the starry sky, there was an ordinary man who experienced injustice, but he also obtained the first supreme and absolute authority over the Great Dao.

His name is Fang Ye.

He once studied mathematics at an interstellar university.

He had learned a great deal about mathematics, including various concepts of higher-order infinity.

This shouldn't have been evidence against you, nor should it have led you to suspect that third possibility.

However, in the early stages of this simulation, when you gave Bai He to many of your underlings, you dispelled the suggestion in his mind.

[Have Bai He summon that senior brother, then use the restored Essence Reward and Punishment to reduce him to a novice (as seen in Chapter 893).]

[Then they attempted to read the mind of that ideological being named Abiyaf, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of some of Magles's hidden secrets through that "outstanding inner disciple" of the old man of fate.]

This can also serve as one of your coping strategies.

Then you searched his mind and found a memory.

[When the old Dao Lord replayed the scene of the first and second Dao Lords opening up the Boundless Sea of ​​Void, Abiaf was present. After all, he was an old disciple of Old Destiny Deng, and even older than Billy.]

He witnessed that scene firsthand (Chapter 879). Through his memory, you also saw the situation firsthand, rather than simply reading a text description.

A young man is communicating with a strange-looking giant insect, which, due to its unique vocal structure, seems to be equipped with a translator.

The two people speak a language similar to "Chinese".

There's nothing strange about that.

There are countless similar languages; even within the world of Dust Source Soup, there are some with similar pronunciations and writing systems.

Then came their interaction.

At first, the various Dao Lords, as well as the Dao Sovereigns watching the scene, were all completely bewildered; they couldn't understand the initial conversation between the two Dao Lords.

The former Dao Lord merely projected a silhouette of the past; he did not take everyone back with him, because that would mean he would bear all the pressure of authority and his consciousness would be obliterated in an instant, merging with Heaven and returning to the Dao.

[The former Dao Master himself could travel back in time and have real contact with ordinary people whose growth trajectory could not be altered, so he transmitted the corresponding language memories to the many viewers present.]

[In a past scene, the Void Daoist said, "In the mathematics I've studied, there's a problem... since you haven't been to school, I'll put it in simpler terms."]

[The giant bug: "..."]

"Guess how many Interstellar Federation coins I have in this palm-sized pocket?"

World Dao Lord Bai Lie remained silent for a minute: "Thirty?"

"Don't answer like that. You should say, 'I can't say for sure how many, but it's definitely over a trillion!' After all, my pockets can't possibly hold that many coins. Although this answer is a bit exaggerated, it's absolutely correct."

[Like children on the street asking each other: Guess how much money I have? It can't possibly exceed one trillion! Guess how strong my dad is? It can't possibly surpass Fang Shengren and Bai Sheng... worm!]

Fang Ye used a small example to introduce what he wanted to say.

"So when faced with a problem, someone sets up a number—an extremely large number—to answer that problem, implying that the answer cannot exceed this terrifyingly large number."

"That number is Graham's number, represented by the arrow ↑. Specifically, it's... (this is too complex to explain in detail here; you can look it up yourself)."

After listening to the explanation, Bai Lie, the World Dao Lord, nodded in understanding: "So we need to expand a vast space outside the universe, on par with G64, right?"

"Even if other Dao Lords become powerful in the future, once they are born, unless they use the unlimited conditions of the first use of their authority, they will have to pay the price of losing all their consciousness to destroy that space, right?"

But the young man opposite him smiled slightly: "Not enough? That's not enough!"

"Since we've decided to go all out, the bigger the better!"

"Come here with another huge mathematical concept, TREE(3), let me explain it to you slowly... After I've explained it, and once you fully understand what the ultimate vastness of a finite number means, we'll step into the realm of infinity."

"Then, within the infinite, we will continue to pursue even higher levels of infinity. We must ensure that the new world we create is truly indestructible and uncontrollable!"

[This concludes their conversation.]

You think the actual entity in front of the simulator is definitely incomprehensible.

"What do you mean? Is there a problem with this?"

"Weren't they having a normal conversation?"

Yun Shou couldn't see anything wrong with it.

[Because the other party was speaking in a language very close to Chinese, with only slight differences in intonation.]

The original entity might think that what it sees above is a translation, just like how "super energy" in some worlds might be displayed as "vitality" in a simulator.

[Or, in some universes, "cultivator" might be used instead of titles like "energy superman" or "spiritual master." This is simply a translation, a term more easily understood by your own perception.]

However, the conversation between those two Dao Lords was exactly as it was, word for word and spoken!

They weren't engaging in spiritual communication, enabling others to instantly understand similar meanings.

They spoke in Chinese, not as a translation, of "Graham's number," and of the smallest infinite number named after the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, 'Aleph.'

There's no such thing as a coincidence.

[Does not exist.]
