Pure Information State

Yun Xiaoxiao and her Kin Number One, Xiao Xiao Luo, have entered this fantastical world.

They entered the body of [the Galaxy] in an indescribable and strange way.

Before me lies a magnificent world.

Golden lotuses fluttered and danced in the Void, their colorful mists spreading across the heavens and earth.

Countless mythical beasts roam freely, their boundaries invisible.

Azure Dragon trails its emerald scales across the deep abyss, piercing through the flowing light and clouds; Colorful Phoenix flaps its wings, its feathers scattering starlight; Qilin slowly treads across the flowing rainbow, golden lotuses blooming beneath its hooves.

Bai Ze lay atop the clouds, his eyes gleaming with Divine Light; the Fixed Stars, covered in tentacles, migrated lazily, following the fleet's movement.

These mythical beasts, some solitary and others in groups, wandered around like fools.

Flowers rise and fall with the wind, and the glow of the sunset flows between the scales and feathers of beasts, creating a colorful and magnificent scene of heaven and earth, where all things are covered in frost.

"Holy crap, where is this place?"

The Number One of the Kin, Xiao Xiao Luo, subconsciously believed that he had entered a world similar to [Adrian]'s [Cognitive Manifestation].

But the speed of light in this place seems infinite; as it gazes into the distance, one new world after another floods into its view:

Giant Whales roam the heavens, and dragons with bodies forged from Stars patrol the vast ocean of stars, while endless elemental storms surge and Berserk.

Giant creatures, far exceeding the size of mountains and rivers, roam freely between heaven and earth.

Mana!

A world possessing Mana.

The [Butterfly Civilization] has actually conducted such in-depth research on Mana that they have even created planetary-level behemoths.

Is this what advanced civilization is like? To research Mana from scratch in such a short time and go so far!

Xiao Xiao Luo, the Number One of the Kin, felt that much of the knowledge on the Mana Side in the knowledge list she brought with her was beginning to depreciate.

Yun Xiaoxiao looked at her hands and, upon closer inspection, found them to be strings of data.

"This is... an information state?"

She was familiar with this look; she looked exactly like this when she was navigating the information world.

But the world around her, in her eyes, was clearly the real world, not the information world.

The Number One of the Kin, Xiao Xiao Luo, also noticed the problem. He looked down and touched his own body, discovering that he was also in an information state.

It was somewhat damaged, and there was an extremely tiny box in the center of its body.

"They projected pure information directly into the real plane... In other words, the space within the [Galaxy] has been altered, with information and physical matter coexisting?"

Yun Xiaoxiao was a little confused and couldn't understand what kind of technology this was.

The top figures of the [String Civilization] are in a semi-information state. Their information is carried by microscopic robots within their bodies, and the flow of information is mainly through special photons and electrons.

The [Butterfly Civilization] can directly transform living beings into an information state, to the point that Yun Xiaoxiao cannot even perceive her own Consciousness Entity...

If we had to draw an analogy, this would be an advanced application of the third layer, the "Storage Layer," in Su Luo's [World Programming], which directly programs the world itself, allowing information to exist without a carrier.

Theoretically, it should be the technology of a [Miracle civilization], capable of altering the rules of the universe.

"Is this really so outrageous? The rules of the universe, spanning countless light-years, have been altered by a single Galaxy Overlord?"

Xiao Xiao Luo, the Number One of the Kin, didn't feel that it was that powerful. Relying on his powerful senses, he kept searching and finally found a Micro Black Hole the size of Quark in his head.

Before the No. Number One Kin could even explore Xiao Xiao Luo properly, a man in a white suit with a smile appeared before them.

"Hello, guests who have come from afar."

"I am a member of the [McGill] civilization, here to welcome you."

He spoke in Chinese.

"[McGill]?" Yun Xiaoxiao heard this unfamiliar name.

The man in the suit smiled and said, "Yes, the [McGill] civilization is a subordinate civilization of the [Butterfly Civilization."

"Any civilization originating from a dwarf galaxy in or near the Milky Way is a subordinate civilization of the [Butterfly Civilization]."

"Theoretically, you are too. But you now belong to a powerful civilization whose entirety cannot be discerned even by the [Butterfly Civilization], so your identities have been automatically liberated, the relevant files have been updated, and your civilizational identity has become [Free Civilization]."

Kin Number One Xiao Xiao Luo, and Yun Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance.

This sounds a bit like being a landlord.

The man in the suit clearly noticed the confusion in both of them.

"You may think this is extremely unfair, and some representatives of civilizations who are visiting for the first time also feel it's unfair, but I want to tell you that, at least within this Local Supercluster, the Butterfly Civilization is the most benevolent civilization, at least granting new civilizations an identity. In other galaxy clusters, most New Life civilizations are merely pure assets."

Simple language can only represent a small part of the vast world.

The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, along with numerous scattered dwarf galaxies, make up the Local Group.

This is already the upper limit of the map in most science fiction novels.

This Local Group, along with over a hundred other galaxy groups or clusters of similar size, forms the Local Supercluster, also known as the Virgo Supercluster.

Its total mass is approximately eight hundred times that of the Milky Way, it spans 110 million light-years, and its length is one nine-hundredth of the boundary of the observable universe.

Beneath this terrifying scale, there exists a certain Order and communication; it is truly terrifying.

Is the [Butterfly Civilization] a subordinate civilization to other civilizations?

Yun Xiaoxiao asked.

The man in the suit paused for a moment, surprised that Yun Xiaoxiao dared to ask such a question.

After holding it in for a while, he finally spoke:

"Not nominally."

Yun Xiaoxiao continued, "What about the [Laniakea Supercluster] even higher up...?"

"Don't Ask these questions. Aren't you curious about this world?" The man in the suit interrupted Yun Xiaoxiao's next intriguing question.

He didn't know any of these things either.

"What are those dragons and phoenixes?"

The Number One of the Kin nodded its Xiao Xiao Luo toward the magnificent, dazzling creatures in the distance.

"These are display pets. The first time a civilization representative enters, they have one chance to choose and take one display pet for free. Subsequent purchases will require [Civilization Points]."

The man in the suit shrugged, revealing a miniature Divine Dragon model in his hand.

"Take this one for example, number noa327809237. It looks quite similar to the Divine Dragon in your culture. It can be customized in size, and the final product can withstand Extreme Supernova Burst. Its bloodline can even be inherited... However, we do not recommend that members of our civilization interbreed with it; it is too large for ordinary people to enjoy."

"And this one, number vhaib219821948609, looks like a succubus from your civilization! It's exactly what it sounds like, the ultimate weapon, violent explosion..."

"Stop." Yun Xiaoxiao stopped the man in the suit from making his sales pitch.

"What I want to ask is, why do these creatures look exactly like the creatures in the Mythic and Legendary of Little Broken Ball?"

"With sufficient technology, everything can be replicated; this is an algorithm recommending based on your culture."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao Luo, the Number One Kin, nodded.

This answer was not unexpected.

"Let's get straight to the point. What's going on in this world? Why does information have [entities] here?"

The man in the suit continued to reply with a smile:

"Actually, this is also a kind of Virtual World."

"It's just a bit more advanced, which might be a little hard for you to understand."

"The Virtual World's Mainframe itself is the body of the [Galaxy], and the computing array is spacetime itself."
