Chapter 404
"That's... the God King!"
"The Lord is back!"
In the Blue Star, or the 'New Eternal City' that has now materialized in reality, a figure emerged from nothingness. It was none other than Bai Ye, the God King, the First Lord, and the master of the real Blue Star.
Whether it is her image in the myriad worlds or her image in reality, almost everyone in the universe knows her, not to mention the Blue Planet, where not all of them are her direct descendants.
As the barrier between the myriad worlds and reality was broken by Ye Bai, the interference of the stars' will in the material universe was also broken. The chaotic sea of stars that had previously appeared "never clear in what was happening" due to the influence of the stars' will was now fully revealed in the universe.
Of course, the Stellar Technology that once served as the 'cosmic control console' is no longer as powerful as it used to be. Instead, it has lost its perfect precision and is beginning to deviate and weaken exponentially.
The advanced civilizations of the Star Alliance showed great interest in this, because the technology embodied by the Star Technology was obviously more advanced for the civilization of this newborn universe.
For this reason, the members of the Church of the Stars who managed to escape from the solar system can still use the Stars technology afterwards, but just like a battery that cannot be recharged, the remaining energy will be consumed as they use it until it becomes completely ineffective.
Therefore, they did not need Ye Bai to clean up, as they had their own way of hunting down the many advanced civilizations of the Star Alliance. In addition, the non-church members in the chaotic star sea also had their own ideas about the coming of the Star Alliance. It was estimated that within a few hundred years, that area would be in turmoil until a balance was finally reached.
It was only after the "White Night Incident" that the unprecedented new changes brought about by the travel of life from all worlds through reality prevented the Star Alliance civilization from focusing all its energy on star technology to capture the afterglow of the ascenders in the three-dimensional universe.
After all, the world that has crossed from virtual to real is also new knowledge for the civilizations of the Star Alliance.
Ye Bai learned all these specific details from Aurora.
This change, of course, is due to Ye Bai's attitude towards Aurora.
Before Aurora saw Ye Bai again, she was actually in a complicated and uneasy mood. She had passively revealed all the details about Ye Bai's situation. Finally, at the Queen's instruction, she sent a message on the Star Network to test whether Ye Bai was Bai Ye.
Regardless of whether it was out of her subjective will, she did put Ye Bai in a dangerous situation objectively. If she did not have the magic weapon in her hand, under the army of Blue Star service agents, White Night City might have ceased to exist.
Without being able to judge Ye Bai's thoughts, no one can guarantee how she will view Aurora.
But Aurora was the closest of the few connections Bai Ye had with the Star Alliance civilization. The next closest were the alien companions who had escaped with him from Makur. And then there were the Blue Star Council officials who had traded Antarctic property rights with Ye Bai, and the Star Alliance personnel he had come into contact with in Makur...
But even so, Aurora had to go, even if it was just to vent Ye Bai's anger at being betrayed, she had to bear it.
Everything is for the entire community of Huanhai Civilization.
Because as time goes by, Ye Bai is not afraid to show his muscles. The identity of the Eternal God King is exposed, and the more the Star Alliance collects information, the more terrified they become. Just based on the experts' lowest estimates, from the perspective of connecting all worlds with reality, Ye Bai has the influence to change the pattern of the universe.
Not to mention, Ye Bai's ability to control time.
Influencing time means the possibility of changing the past. This ability means that Ye Bai's influence may affect "outside the light cone"!
If she were to go back in time and influence the birth of a civilization at its root, then this civilization might simply disappear in the 'present'.
Although all of this is speculation, perhaps Ye Bai will not be as powerful as the Star Alliance thinks, but as long as there is a slight possibility, which civilization in the universe would dare to take the risk?
Of course, there were more calculations behind all this, but Aurora didn't know that a psychoanalyst had already stabilized her mentality and let her thoughts stay at the stage of "how should I explain and apologize to Ye Bai".
Aurora was not informed of many more complex factors. If she knew more, it would only increase her pressure, making her feel at a loss when facing Bai Ye, and she might even suffer a mental breakdown.
Fortunately, the ending is not despairing.
After seeing Aurora, Ye Bai's eyes lit up, and then he stepped forward and grabbed Aurora, who was extremely conflicted and ashamed.
"Come on, I'll take you to see my spaceship!"
This spaceship was naturally the one used by church members that Ye Bai had exchanged for using Star Technology. Compared with other Star Technologies that directly mobilized cosmic authority, that kind of advanced spaceship was a material creation and would naturally not be affected.
However, as a spacecraft that uses the previous space technology, the technological gap between it and the spacecraft that Aurora had shown Ye Bai is like the gap between a land car and a spacecraft.
Aurora was stunned for a long time, until Ye Bai pulled her into the spaceship, then she reacted.
Then he happily looked at the interior of the spaceship with her curiosity, just like when she showed her new spaceship to Ye Bai.
The leaders of the Fantasy Sea Civilization and the Star Alliance who were observing this situation burst into excited cheers after a brief silence.
At that moment, the civilizations of the Star Alliance expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Ye Bai and the ancient Blue Star civilization that gave birth to Ye Bai.
After this incident, she still treated Aurora as a friend, as if nothing had happened!
Behind this, what is shown is understanding and magnanimity.
She understood that Aurora was doing this for the sake of the tribe, and she had the capacity to accept her apology.
This shows that Bai Ye comes from a civilization that values order, and her personal will is not warlike and narrow-minded. Of course, there have been precedents, and if she is really provoked, her temper will definitely not be very good.
After being forgiven by Ye Bai, Aurora immediately became the first heir to the throne of the next generation within the Huanhai civilization.
Even though it doesn't conform to the king standards and traditions of the Huanhai civilization, all this can be changed because Ye Bai still recognizes Aurora.
This is civilization. In order to ensure the continuation and development of one's own population, one will do anything.
As long as Ye Bai still recognizes Aurora as his friend, her status in the Fantasy Sea Civilization and the Fantasy Sea Civilization within the Star Alliance will remain unshakable.
The new human civilization that once existed on Blue Star also wanted to take part in this great opportunity, but unfortunately, later contacts clearly told them that Ye Bai did not recognize the new humans as their own civilization.
The new human civilization still thought that it was because their ancestors had left Blue Star. In fact, what they didn’t know was that Ye Bai did not belong to this era, and the Blue Star civilization of this era naturally had nothing to do with her.
And now the only civilizations she recognizes as subordinate are those in the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Therefore, after occupying the Blue Star and using it as the connection point between the Myriad Worlds and reality, Ye Bai also made two necessary arrangements for the life of the Myriad Worlds to enter reality.
The first is the definition of life.
Obviously, from the game, all the lives in the world who broke through the dimension and entered the reality through Ye Bai's power, excluding Ye Bai, whether they are the kings of the gods such as Nao and Ottophis, or the subjects who support and are loyal to her in the White Night City, are all new lives to this world.
The form and nature of this life were finally defined by Covenant scientists as a new type of intelligent life - energy life.
Because their essence is to change the material world through mental power, and except for the Five Kings of the Divine Realm who are very powerful as soon as they cross the world, the people who later broke through the dimension and came to reality have higher talents in mental power than the intelligent creatures of higher dimensions.
This is because in this material world, they are more composed of spiritual forces.
It can be said that all the characters from all realms who can come to the real world are "mental geniuses" here, and they can return to the game world at any time. However, unlike the players in the material world, when they go back, their bodies really cross two dimensions, not through a mental connection.
In contrast, the spiritual talents of real intelligent life vary, but before Ye Bai broke the dimensional boundaries, they could easily project their consciousness into all worlds and become a special group of players. The difference between the two is quite like a sip of water and a peck of water.
The second thing is that Ye Bai brought the energy life forms and joined the Star Alliance as a civilization.
Of course, the Star Alliance could not refuse Ye Bai's "I am here to join this family". Even if the energy life civilization would inevitably become an "emperor"-like figure after entering the Star Alliance because of Ye Bai's comprehensive strength, this actually shows that she does not have the idea of conquering and unifying the universe, but rather tends to let a hundred flowers bloom.
After resolving these issues, Ye Bai explained that he had something to do and disappeared, disappearing in this era of the universe.
The reason is that a little earlier, the ancients contacted Ye Bai.
He showed her the answer they had been searching for - the ultimate answer of the universe, 6895134.
For the four-dimensional ancients who can transcend time, the future is now.
When they find the answer at some point in the future, they can pass the information to Ye Bai, who is the 'past' for them, just like humans travel a distance in space.
This is equivalent to if people in the future really invent a time machine, then people today will be able to see time travelers from the future.
As long as the answer is found in the future, it will be known now.
Before breaking the dimensional barrier, the ancients could not do this no matter what. However, after Ye Bai broke through the dimensional blockade, this "possibility" became possible in the future, and the ultimate answer to the universe was finally discovered by the ancients.
But the ancients who got the ultimate answer saw a magnificent scene that they could not understand. After being shocked, they passed this incomprehensible knowledge to Ye Bai.
I hope that the only person in this three-dimensional universe who can communicate with them directly and who can break the dimensional wall can create miracles again and provide answers.
However, after seeing it, Ye Bai was deeply moved. After making some arrangements, he disappeared.
No one in the real universe knows where she went, only the ancients vaguely traced back that she had crossed into the river of time in some way.
When Ye Bai appeared in this universe again, it was almost a month later.
With the appearance of Bai Ye, everyone nearby saw that around her, there were tiny lights flickering and going out.
This light did not release any powerful force, but was intermittent, as if she had an extra layer of "starlight filter" on her body.
People who saw this situation thought that Ye Bai had comprehended some new rules and abilities.
In fact, this is a signal from the four-dimensional world.
Manipulating quantum and releasing energy levels eventually formed a simple flash in the material universe, representing the signal that the ancients were constantly and anxiously contacting Ye Bai.
Ye Bai's disappearance after seeing the answer made them crazy. If they still had physical bodies, they would probably all be scratching their heads. There is nothing more painful than having the answer right in front of you but not being able to understand it.
Obviously, Ye Bai was different from them, she saw something from the answer.
However, facing the ancients' frantic inquiries, she ignored them and simply told them, "That can be said to be... the ultimate evil. I don't need to explain it in detail. You should be able to see it with your own eyes soon."
'What ultimate evil? What is that?'
"What did you see? Please tell us!"
The ancients communicated frantically with their will, but Ye Bai ignored them. Instead, he looked ahead with an unfocused gaze and whispered, "Nao."
"I am here."
The silver-haired young man lifted the void around Ye Bai and emerged from it. He came to her side the moment she appeared in this universe.
Ye Bai slowly raised his eyes and looked at him with an inexplicable expression:
"Nao, what have you been doing during this time?"
"I have separated nearly ten thousand consciousnesses to explore Blue Planet, connect with the Star Alliance, establish various external systems for civilization, and lead the residents of White Night City and the divine races to learn about the material universe..."
Hearing Ye Bai's question, Nao told her everything he had done recently in detail, from major mistakes in civilization to small trivial matters.
Ye Bai walked slowly, listening to him silently. He looked dazed, yet also seemed very focused.
"...And regarding you, whether in the Myriad Realms or the Material Universe, the bards of the Myriad Realms know how to revere you, but those in the Material Universe don't. That's why I warned some of the bards here not to fabricate exaggerated and untrue stories based on your deeds."
When Ye Bai heard the word "story", he finally paused and suddenly said:
"Nao, what if my life itself is just a story?"
When asking this sudden question, Ye Bai's tone was not heavy, but light and casual, and the content even sounded like a joke.
But Nao didn't take it as a joke. He thought about it seriously and was silent for a long time before he let out a breath and answered Ye Bai.
“If your life is a story, then I think it must be a great story.”
This is the answer given by Nao.
Ye Bai stood there, looking at him motionlessly, and then suddenly smiled, with a sense of relief as if the last knot in his heart had been untied.
"As expected of..." the male protagonist.
"Huh?" Nao was stunned and didn't hear what Ye Bai said next.
Ye Bai then said, "Let's go."
"Okay." Nao agreed first, then followed Ye Bai and walked normally with her before asking, "Where are we going?"
Ye Bai's eyes looked forward, but without a fixed focus.
"Go to... [End]."
“So that’s how it is…”
"So that's how it is!!"
The Ancients communicated, or rather, they "shouted" from the four-dimensional universe that was invisible to the material universe. At this moment, as the most important "time" passed, they finally saw the answers they wanted to understand.
I also saw what Ye Bai did during the month he disappeared.
When Ye Bai saw the ultimate answer they provided, she understood that she was the first and only person in the world who could understand this answer.
Because she is the [protagonist].
The whole world is a story with Ye Bai as the [protagonist] in another dimension, with the book number 6895134.
The ultimate evil that Ye Bai mentioned is naturally the "author" of this story.
It can be said that His existence alone is the ultimate original sin for this world!
Any intelligent creature cannot accept that its life and world are completely controlled by a will that does not follow the laws of nature but is autonomous and has its own preferences and moods.
Even if it is this will itself that created this world, no one can guarantee when it will change its mind and directly destroy this world.
Not to mention, His purpose in creating this world was not to build a natural world where everyone could be happy. All the influence He exerted on this world had only one purpose—
Make this story exciting enough to entertain readers in the same dimension.
The weirdness of the universe also stems from this. Why in the primitive era 00 when Ye Bai was born, there were only stars as alien life besides humans on the blue planet?
If there is only one fish in the water, it only means that it is a fish tank.
It is not necessarily possible that there are more intelligent life forms in the primitive universe, and the stars in this era may not only be able to create humanoid forms. None of these things happened, maybe it's just that the [author]... is too lazy to make it up.
Ye Bai disappeared and hid.
In order to think quietly and not be influenced by the author, she hid in a time gap that only existed in the author's 'setting' - the time the ancients spent bringing Ye Bai to this era.
Because that was just a time setting required to cross dimensions, the author did not give that period of time any specific story significance, so Ye Bai used his own abilities to hide there and completely blocked the [author].
What she thought about there during that month, the author has no way of knowing.
Even in the higher dimension where the [author] is, the story updates extremely slowly, and can only be updated with some of Ye Bai's "history" because she cannot "see" the [protagonist] and cannot write the story through the protagonist's interaction with this world.
It was not until Ye Bai finished her thoughts and returned to the normal timeline that her memories during this period were observed by the [Author].
During that period of time when there was no meaningful story setting, Ye Bai saw the draft of the [outline].
Nao was slated to be the "male protagonist who always understands the heroine's thoughts and offers advice," Orthophis was slated to be the "funny and proud dragon mount," Kraken was slated to be the "pet, greedy little girl," Inollucia was slated to be the "responsible and beautiful eldest daughter," Walsh was slated to be the "mad dog-like rebellious son," Aurora was slated to be the "real-life friend," and Carrie was slated to be the "first high-level NPC assistant"...
The reason they are drafts is that in the real story, these drafts are changing, sometimes parts are changed, settings are added or deleted.
Because the author is not an omniscient and omnipotent God, He is limited. For various reasons, it may even be just a cold in the dimension where the author is, it may be the influence of some readers' comments, or it may be a little lack of the "feeling" when setting the outline, which is enough to make Him change his mind on the details.
Eventually, it became everything we have today, constituting the world in which all living things now live.
And the solution to this ultimate evil is simple.
A story needs an ending. No matter what happens in the process, as long as it is a story, it must have an ending.
As the protagonist, Ye Bai possesses the most unique ability, "time", which can not only affect the time in this world, but also affect the time in higher dimensions to a certain extent.
Ye Bai's final choice is to push the "time" that exists in both the time story and reality into the ending.
This is also the answer information that the ancients see at this moment:
The story whose [protagonist] is Ye Bai and whose book number is 6895134, has changed from [serial] to [completed].
It breaks away from the writing of the [author], jumps out of the observation of the [reader], and ultimately achieves true super-dimensionality.
As for what lies beyond the super dimension, perhaps only Ye Bai, who has already passed away, knows.
The full text is over.
