820 The Boundary Between God and Men 2 in 1 (2/2)
”This is the secret of immortality, the truth of the world, and the essence of magic!” Lucien announced solemnly.
Then, he extended his right hand and waved it in the air. A series of complicated equations were immediately displayed, as if there was a cubic stream screen around. Even Douglas felt that his head was dizzy as he read it.
”This is a math model that describes space.” Instead of seizing the opportunity that Viken could not control himself to attack him, Lucien began to introduce the equations, making the arcanists of the Congress of Magic feel extremely weird. Why is Mr. Evans doing this in the middle of such an intense battle? Is he trying to blow up Viken's head when he saw that the boundary of god and men was unbreakable? If his plan works out, it will probably be an unprecedented and unrepeatable battle case…
”The previous theory of relativity describes a '3+1' dimension, and this is a model that describes more dimensions.” Lucien did not give more details because the premises and hypotheses of the math model alone could've taken him half a day to illustrate, and few people on the battlefield could understand it.
In the sky, Lucien slowly and casually walked toward Viken who was trying to control himself with the boundary of god and men.
”In this model, we can assume that the universe we live in is a high-dimensional universe, whose projections in different three-dimensional spaces form many parallel universes,” Lucien spoke lucidly as if he were teaching Heidi and the students a class. ”Math tells us that in the three-dimensional state or four-dimensional state, parallel universes can barely meet each other. In that case, we may overlap, but we cannot touch or sense each other.
”However, just as two random straight lines on a piece of paper have much higher chances to intersect than to parallel, in lower dimensions, our microscopic particles and our fundamental world incessantly entangle with their counterparts in other universes. That is exactly superimposition and entanglement. However, as we, the real world, and the macroscopic universe kick in and the dimension increases to a higher level, the entanglement and intersection are gone, and only one state is fixed. That's why the mysteries of the microscopic domain cannot be reflected in the macroscopic world!”
Lucien spoke very slowly as if he were teaching a class or engaged in small talk, but the sky suddenly turned dark, and a crazy wind blew out from the ground into the marvelous domain.
Douglas and the rest of them kept attacking Viken while they listened to Lucien's words, which seemed to have really explained a lot of experiment phenomena as well as the transition between the microscopic domain and the macroscopic world.
The world next to Viken where angels and devils mixed and sang together was unaffected, allowing him to focus on self-control. He tried to get rid of the embarrassment as countless faces were conflicting and squeezing out of him. He did not entirely understand what Lucien was saying, but he did not stop glaring at Lucien's eyes at all. Even if I have been tricked, I still have the strength of a true god. After I get control of myself, I will kill you!
Lucien's voice grew louder and louder. ”This model explains the transition between the microscopic domain and the macroscopic world, but we will easily discover that there is no place for magic and supernatural abilities.
”Therefore, in this model, we have to add two premises. The first is that the soul does exist. It is essentially a high-dimensional object that can spread out special electromagnetic waves…”
BOOM!
A thunder rumbled in the sky, but no lightning struck down, as if the world was stopping Lucien from talking.
”As high-dimensional objects, souls are projected into different parallel universes, except that the projections are different due to the different coordinates of the dimensions. For example, in some universes, the souls are so weak that they are barely detectable, and in some universes, souls can directly walk on the earth. The electromagnetic waves they emit are very powerful.”
BOOM!
Another thunder rumbled, and the sky was completely dark, as if a storm was coming. But still, no bolts of lightning occurred!
Lucien turned a deaf ear to the thunder and simply kept on walking to Viken. ”Of course, if that is the only premise, the best we can expect is that certain creatures with powerful souls will have simple abilities such as setting fire, moving objects, or telecommunication. There will only be the most unattractive extraordinary powers, and there won't be the weird yet brilliant magic, or any of the unusual animals.
”Therefore, my other premise is that, for reasons that we haven't quite figured out, another universe has some sort of entanglement or intersection with our universe!”
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Bolts of lightning danced like clusters of silver snakes and illuminated the sky and the world. The angels and devils around Viken that praised and sang for him lowered their voices, and Viken appeared to be stunned again.
In the middle of the bursting bolts of lightning, a universe that was very similar to the one behind Lucien was displayed. The strange feeling that everybody sensed during Lucien's advancement just now spread out again.
Lucien suddenly raised his voice and announced magnificently, ”Therefore, the entanglement of the microscopic particles and the fundamental world is much more powerful than usual!
”Therefore, in the quantum eraser experiment and the delayed choice experiment, the state of entanglement is more difficult to destroy than expected!”
In the sky that was brimming with bolts of lightning, a torrential storm poured down. The whole world seemed to be drowned!
”The stronger coherence belongs to the microscopic domain. It is insignificant compared to the macroscopic world. When macroscopic factors are involved, it will be destroyed easily.
”Therefore, the macroscopic world is real and material, without any dispersion or illusion. However, the foundation at the bottom level of the macroscopic world is not so steady!” Lucien moved another step forward as his voice got louder and louder.
The angels and devils next to Viken had all fallen into silence. There were no more songs or praises!
”Under normal circumstances, such unsteadiness will not cause any consequences, but on special occasions, say, during the reproduction of creatures, it will lead to many more mutations. That's why we have so many species and so many tricky monsters!”
In the pouring rain, the glittering lightning, and the rumbling thunders, the universe Lucien displayed zoomed in, allowing everybody to see the familiar fireball and the blue planet again!
Lucien said aloud as he stepped forward, ”That's why the 'spiritual power' of our souls can develop an assortment of strange spells beyond the monotonous abilities! That's why reshaping and the elemental changes on the material level are relatively easy!”
The angels and devils around Viken looked afraid. Douglas, on the other hand, abandoned the futile attacks and focused on listening to Lucien's narration. In the meantime, Viken seemed more and more desperate and crazy.
”It's true that the source of our energy is the fluctuation of the ocean of energy in our void, but the ocean is not in our universe because we cannot grasp its momentary rise at all!
”Since the two parallel universes intersect and have different space-time changes, it gives us a chance to make use of their ocean of energy and the bottom-level matter like virtual particles!
”The conservation of energy is that of two universes, not just our own!”
As Lucien talked on, the ordinary people and the nobles on the ground were completely confused. They had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. Even the legendary experts in the sky were also mostly in such a state. Only the arcanists were listening to him half confused and half enlightened. Some were ecstatic, and some were trembling!
”Our souls exist in a high dimension and are projected to all the parallel dimensions. Our own souls are only part of the essence. Therefore, our meditation is actually to perceive another universe through the connection between the two soul projections. The environment of meditation that we establish—or our cognitive world—is the instrument of our communication. Therefore, the more similar and the more entangled it is to another universe, the more powerful it will be. That's exactly the feedback of the real world!
”Therefore, most of our magic models are essentially the different variants of such a math model of space-time communication. Naturally, the more accurate they are, the more powerful they will be!”
BOOM!
A noise that could almost be compared to the self-explosion of the Will of Abyss just now echoed. The darkness in the sky co-existed with the gigantic fireball!
The boundary of god and mortals around Viken seemed to be under enormous pressure and was squeaking!
”In this model, gravity is quantized and exists as a relatively low-dimensional notion. When two universes intersect, it will entangle the gravity of our world, hence the mist that covers the planets and the sun, the star graves where there is no gravity, and the many alternate dimensions. Therefore, we cannot locate any planet at all without considering the influence of other universes!
”That's the reason why planets were never found before!”
When he said that, Lucien suddenly thought of the moment when he read ”Arcana” for the first time. At that time, Oliver and Mr. President were deeply upset that planets could not be discovered!
Quantized gravity… Douglas calmed down and thought hard!
”Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu!”
Miserable cries burst out. The angels and devils around Viken shed bright or dark tears in fear. The boundary of god and men trembled more and more violently, and it was squeaking louder and louder.
Inside Viken's body, faces flew out and vaporized into dust, and he looked more and more crazy and hateful.
”The soul is in a high dimension. So, our death only means the elimination of a soul's projection and the loss of current memories and special waves. However, our actual soul is never gone, and the projection will reappear after a while!”
As Lucien made the statement, faces of souls appeared in the storm, crying, cursing, and threatening. The ordinary people down below all shivered as they looked at them.
”Therefore, part of our spells and supernatural powers actually carry the features of high dimensions too. We can be resurrected through methods like the phylactery immediately after the death, we can perform space jump, the Sword of Truth can eliminate all traces of existence, and the Elimination blood power can destroy the source of the supernatural powers by blocking the connection of two universes!
”Therefore, our real path to the demigod level is the arcana approach: to let the projection of the soul reach the nature of the soul in the high dimension!
”Therefore, after the two universes have a slight intersection, there will be creatures that are closer to the high dimension but not perfect, like the Silver Moon and the Lord of Hell! That's why the Furnace of Souls and the Styx that represent the essence of the high-dimensional souls show up! That's why there are the primeval hell and the World of Souls where souls and feelings gather!
”Therefore, the mysteries of immortality that we saw in the Chamber of Immortality were actually another universe! It represents our other self!”
His magnificent voice put an end to the cries, curses, and beg for mercy. The storm stopped, the lightning and thunder were gone, and the angels and devils dispersed into the light. Viken's body began to quiver, and after his every movement, some faces of souls were flying out!
Lucien had already reached before Viken. He looked down at him pitifully. ”Your path to reach the high dimension by gathering many souls seems correct, but it is actually wrong. Those are not the projection of the same soul, and you cannot get the essence of your own soul in the high dimension. Therefore, while nothing wrong happened before your success, you will lose your undead quality after your success because it is impossible for you to be revived through somebody else's soul.
”Of course, it was exactly because of the correctness of your path on the surface that I was able to fool you with the 'observer effect'. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how I can 'really' kill you at all.”
In his black double-breasted suit, Lucien put on his gentle smile again. He pressed his chest with his right hand and bowed slightly. ”Now, I would like to repeat that, in the microscopic domain, where our experience in the past is no longer applicable and where the methodology we are used to errs, all the explanations and theoretical models must be strictly built on mathematics. Otherwise, explanations and hypotheses would only be illusions and fantasies!
”To put it simply, any hypothesis that is not based on math models is pure nonsense!”
Pa!
In Viken's shock and devastation, the boundary of god and men next to him was broken even though Lucien did not perform any attack at all!
In the sky, the darkness and the gigantic fireball faded, and the clear blueness was restored!
