After hearing Nymph's warning, Fang Zheng also became more alert. However, to his surprise, these lights did not cause any harm to Fang Zheng and others. On the contrary, they just kept changing, as if scanning something. After a while, these lights gradually disappeared, and then the originally dark underground space began to become bright.
A warm orange glow emerged from behind the lines on all sides, turning the lines that originally looked a bit twisted and weird into strips of light. This made Fang Zheng feel a little more relaxed. After all, the warm colors looked more comfortable, and it didn't feel like some kind of evil god had descended like before.
The "golden and magnificent" appearance before him was more in line with Fang Zheng's perception of a god.
"I can feel the fluctuation of signal transmission... It seems to be scanning and testing just now... Master."
"In other words, have we passed the test?"
Fang Zheng was not surprised by this. On the contrary, it only deepened his suspicion that the Goddess of Order was a high-level civilization. Now it seemed that although the goddess had a slightly different aesthetic from them, at least they had something in common in other aspects.
But think about it, if it were completely different, then Fang Zheng would not be able to accept the civilization of this world so easily.
“Boom boom boom…”
At this moment, the entire ground began to shake slightly, and Fang Zheng also heard a roar coming from under the floor. He then felt his body sway slightly, and then saw the floor they were on slowly falling down.
In other words, this is a large elevator? However, this thing is not used to transport humans, right?
Fang Zheng looked around and saw that the floor was as big as two football fields. If it was used to transport ordinary people, it would be too big. Or was it a special elevator for the goddess? But then again, what does the goddess look like? This topic was not mentioned in the canon of the temple...
"Nymph."
Fang Zheng shook his head, threw the topic aside, and then looked at the little angel beside him.
"Can you figure out how this thing works?"
"This appears to be some kind of gravity manipulation technology..."
At this point, Nymph showed a puzzled expression on her face.
"But it's really strange..."
"strangeness?"
"Um."
Nymph nodded.
"According to my perception, the operation of these devices...seems to be just a result, omitting the process."
"…Excuse me, could you explain it more clearly?"
Fang Zheng said that he did not understand Nymph's explanation at all. He was just a programmer and had never studied at MIT, so he hoped that the little angel would explain it to him in a simple and understandable way.
"To put it simply... Master, you should know that everything in this world is the result of the interaction of various forces. Take the elevator you are riding for example. Humans use physical methods to generate the force of rising or falling. It's like a light bulb. It needs electricity as energy to stimulate it, and then produce various reactions to make the bulb brighter, right?"
"That's right..."
Fang Zheng can understand this paragraph. In simple terms, what the little angel meant is that generally speaking, people control the "process". For example, in an elevator, they will control the lifting force through the equipment, and then ensure that the elevator can smoothly reach a certain floor and stop. But if humans lose this "control" process, then the elevator will "fall".
“But the equipment here is completely different.”
As she watched the slowly descending elevator, Nymph showed a puzzled expression.
"I just tried to analyze it, and found that except for the fixed terminal value, the process is completely disordered, difficult to understand and intrude. In other words, the result of the elevator we took, 'smoothly arriving at the destination', was set from the beginning, but the 'process' in the middle of reaching this result was completely omitted!"
“…Is this possible?”
Hearing this, Fang Zheng felt like it was a fairy tale. If you want to talk about reversing cause and effect, I can understand it, but what the hell is this about skipping the process and reaching the result? Wait, if that's the case, why don't you just build a teleportation array? Why do you need an elevator?
"Yes."
Nymph also looked unacceptable. Obviously, she also felt that this thing was too unreasonable. If you said that it was some incomprehensible process that led to the result, then the little angel might not be so depressed. We can only say that this world is mysterious, and there are still many things we have not discovered.
But if you say the whole process is messy and random, that would be very weird.
It's like someone writing a story where the protagonist kills an enemy and he dies.
What? How did he die? Maybe he was shot, maybe he was poisoned, maybe he committed suicide, maybe he was angry to death, or maybe he accidentally fell to death. Why do you care so much? Anyway, he is dead. Isn't this enough for you to know?
Will readers accept it? Of course not.
Nymph’s current mood is the same as this reader’s... totally unacceptable!
It seems that the power of this goddess of order is really unusual.
Facing the tangled Nymph, Fang Zheng also fell into thought. He also had a soul stone called the Sacrifice Snake of the God of Creation, and even created a world with his own hands. But even the "Nothingness" created by the Sacrifice Snake was not completely without a process. For example, he needed to absorb the wishes of the Red World disciples, and he also needed to use Hecate as a medium, and finally open the channel between the two worlds. All of these required a process.
It is not as simple as Fang Zheng saying "Let there be light" and then there is light.
But according to Nymph, everything in this place seems to be set up like this. Just say "Let there be light" and there will be light. And the "process" of them taking the elevator to their destination is itself quite random, without any fixed properties that can be observed and confirmed.
Why does this feel like a property of chaos? Is this what the Goddess of Order uses?
"Why do I feel like the plot is getting more and more clichéd? I wonder if the boss behind the scenes is the boss in the end?"
Looking at the elevator in front of him, Fang Zheng muttered to himself. Hearing his words, Fina next to him looked at him curiously, wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing.
“Boom!”
It was unknown how long it took before the elevator slowly stopped. Then, in front of Fang Zheng and the others, the door that had been tightly closed spun into two spheres, then split open. Then...
“Hmm…Hmm…”
Along with some strange cries, Fang Zheng and the others saw several strange creatures that looked like puppies, round and limbless, "rolling" out from inside. They swayed from side to side and came in front of Fang Zheng and the others, then opened their mouths and made "weeping" sounds. They looked like some kind of creature, but in addition to a round body, they only had a long, cow-like tail, and a pair of big round eyes and mouths...
What is this? Is it the pet of the goddess of order?
Looking at these strange gadgets in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
This little chic thing is really something!
