It thought that human civilization would be the same, and it was only a matter of time before it was crushed and its gems were taken away.
An elderly man on his deathbed, and a newborn baby about to be strangled.
Even if it says something, with a gloating over dying together, telling humans the news and appreciating their despair, wouldn't that be a pleasure?
Then the rhombus-shaped creature proceeded to reveal the truth that shocked Jiang Cheng, shattering his worldview: the true mysteries of the universe... This vast scroll of life slowly unfolded.
"As you can see, the black sphere that exploded in this thin-film dimension, killing all your soldiers, contained fragments of the 'Heart of the Universe,' also known as the 'Microcosm.' These are fragments that fall during the Heart of the Universe's evolution every few hundred million years. The energy produced by a single fragment is equivalent to ten times that of the most powerful thermal weapons you currently possess. I carried two fragments and detonated them twice, causing your casualties. You also possess a fragment, leader of human warfare. I know you don't belong to this plane. I see a lush tree growing in your mind. Its existence and storage of technology are due to absorbing the energy of the fragments, providing you with wisdom, energy, and transcendence. The Heart of the Universe, as its name suggests, symbolizes the heart of the universe. Countless civilizations vie for supremacy in the vast ocean of galaxies. Whoever possesses this gem can become the most powerful civilization. It's a universe that hundreds of millions of civilizations are fighting over." There are only five Hearts of the Universe. Those who possess them rule an entire star system, commanding tens of thousands of giant ships, their races scattered across planets, enslaving other civilizations—the elite of the elite! And now, the sixth has appeared on this remote, indigenous planet in the Milky Way—truly unbelievable. You've discovered its wonder, haven't you? Adaptability! It's all about adaptability! It can give a machine emotions, consciousness, and the ability to be immortal! It can become a brain, a carbon-based life form, a blade of grass, the driving force of a planet—this is the Heart of the Universe. "A gentleman is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Since even a civilization on the verge of decline can discover it, countless unimaginably powerful civilizations will flock to it in the future, turning this place into a battlefield of interstellar war! You will be easily annihilated, less than ants. Any other race is a thousand times stronger than an axe or a weapon; how can you withstand that? Extinction is inevitable.
It then added:
"Life, a humble yet magnificent existence. You don't belong to this plane, but you were reborn into it at a certain point of overlap according to the theory of plane collisions. It's precisely because you possessed a technological tree that grew from a tiny spark. Perhaps you often wonder why everything that happened in this plane you transmigrated to is different from before. This isn't due to the butterfly effect, but because this isn't your original world at all. Let me explain the theory of plane collisions so you can understand: planets explode multiple times, causing space to fold. Whether it's living beings or inanimate objects, they are forced to distort and refract into phantom images. Consciousness is scattered and survives in time, creating several, dozens, or even hundreds of planes like a beehive. You also exist in another plane, along with the phantom images of these dead soldiers. They are individuals, yet seemingly united but actually separate. Occasionally, when their consciousness overlaps, the concept of 'déjà vu' arises. Perhaps at a certain moment you see someone and feel they are very familiar—that's the collision of another world. Perhaps you'll wonder about the butterfly effect." The butterfly effect makes it impossible for these planes to develop in unison. The plane collision theory exists because the development of time in all planes is unified; individuals may differ, but the flow of time remains constant. It's not a straight line, but an inverted S-shape. The intersection of these two S-shapes is the plane collision point. No matter how the butterfly effect changes, the outcome will always converge at this intersection, then change again and reunite. If you were a beggar, and due to different individual thoughts you became a millionaire, at the intersection you would still squander all your wealth and become a beggar again, continuing the 'orthodox' life path. The main plane is the initial space before Earth's space was distorted, which is the space we have now. You can understand it as a real world and countless dream worlds. You were forced to be reborn into the main world; this is fate's arrangement, to subject you to the baptism of interstellar war and ultimately perish. Think about the day you were reborn; that was the intersection point of the plane collision theory…”
After the rhombus-shaped creature finished speaking, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered the day he bought breakfast.
He saw classmates passing by after playing morning golf downstairs in the girls' dormitory.
So that's how it is...
"I will slowly perish, along with this thin-film dimension. I expect your civilization to die with me."
It looked at Jiang Cheng, and through his eyes, it seemed to see the explosion of Earth during the interstellar war, countless civilizations fighting and killing each other, and how many races perished and disappeared completely in order to seize the Heart of the Universe...
History is unchanging.
Whether it's human history or the cosmic narrative.
The strong live, the weak die.
This is the eternal theme.
(The War Maidens volume is finished. This volume is about 300,000 words long, and it's finally done after dragging on for a while. The next volume is called Dream World.)
