Chapter 623: Birth (2/2)

The one thing that I managed to understand from all those videos now that I analyzed and thought about every second of them, was that the time was ultimately just another dimension of the universe. The fact that humans experienced it as passing, steemed from the fact that they themselves were stuck in a lower dimension, making them unable to affect but only to experience its effects.

But how could there be time without a universe, to begin with? Given how it was supposed to be just another dimension, I had to somehow create all the other dimension to make it work in the first place!

Sadly, the main problem remained. Stuck in this endless void of nothingness, I was unable to create something out of nothing.

Or was I really?

One of the other things that memories of those videos outlined was that ultimately, with a scale big enough, the entire universe was devoid of anything. Considering time as just another plane to move around, reaching its high enough stages would present me with a universe where all the matter decayed, all the energy was used up, a dead universe.

In the entire vast limits of its space, not even a single particle moved anymore. It consisted just of space alone.

But space by itself… was not a thing. It was just a concept that humans came up with to put the limits on the infinity. In reality, space was just the area that was influenced by energy. Be it in form of mass, wave, force or oscillation, it wasn't a thing. It was the location.

And the location itself didn't require any energy to exist at all, didn't it?

Once that idea struck my mind, something clicked.

Holding the picture of the completely dead universe in my mind, I somehow pushed my perception to perceive the nothingness around me as the insides of such a universe. And given how it was all nothing less but a projection of my mind, I still held the reins of how I perceived the dimension.

And that gave me the power to reverse the time.

Within a single fraction of an instant, an explosion occurred. An impossibly small portion of my magical energy vibrated…

And knocked over the stability of the endless mass of void that filled this dead universe. This wave that spread through the unending expanses of nothingness, was the first step for the birth of the universe I imagined.

Just like the legendary Big Bang theory outlined, everything changed all at once. But that didn't mean it happened fast. But with all the time that I was given, I suddenly realised two things.

With how infinitely dense the void was, sparking just a single vibration in it was more than enough to knock it out of its stable position. Before long, this infinite mass of void gave birth to an infinite mass of magical energy. And said magical energy in turn, condensed into the matter itself.

Then, I witnessed the true Big Bang, with all its intricate details I knew from those space movies, now appearing right in front of my eyes. I was now able to physically see the ongoing changes in this violent, young universe.

As for the other thing I understood, was that I didn't reverse the time. After all, given how it was just another plane, it was wrong to claim there was any right direction in it in the first place. What I did, was start the time of an imaginary, dead universe.

And it was from that point when said universe manifested and grew right in front of my eyes.
