Dimensionality Reduction Strike: We've Shrunk
Everyone turned to look at Qin Hao as he suddenly started shouting wildly.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Xiao Zixia asked in confusion.
"I understand now. This is the Real Universe, but we've all overlooked one thing: we've shrunk, or the entire universe has grown."
Qin Hao suddenly remembered that there was a very classic science fiction movie called "Ant-Man" when he was in the Real World.
In fact, in Qin Hao's era, Earth's technology was already highly advanced, and technologies like those in "Ant-Man" were mastered very well.
This has led to tremendous progress in biomedicine.
For example, some diseases cannot be treated with traditional medical methods.
However, mastering Ant-Man's technology changes everything; it allows one to shrink people and objects infinitely, ultimately placing them inside a patient's body to achieve therapeutic goals.
The reason why Qin Hao only now understands what he has seen and heard these past few days is because he believes himself to be the Ancestor of Eternal with unparalleled power, so he naturally overlooks this fact.
And that's actually the case; when you shrink, you feel like you're moving at about the same speed as before you shrunk.
But in reality, it has been slowed down infinitely, by an unknown number of times.
Upon realizing this, Qin Hao suddenly felt enlightened, instantly discovering that his strength had increased countless times.
Qin Hao glanced at Xiao Zixia and the Chaos Pagoda, and slowly said, "It's not that the universe has grown larger, but that we have shrunk."
"What? Aren't we the normal size?"
Chaos Pagoda asked, looking completely bewildered.
Qin Hao glanced at him and said with a smile, "We came here through a black hole, right? Can you be sure we weren't shrunk during the black hole teleportation process?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock; the thought was truly terrifying.
Indeed, in their perception, they had entered a black hole and were quickly swallowed by its powerful gravity.
Although they did arrive in this world, they were inside the black hole for a full hour before being transported here.
Because Qin Hao was only a few seconds faster than them, by the time they arrived, Qin Hao had already killed a frog.
That's right, if Qin Hao's guess is correct, it was just an ordinary frog.
The reason why everyone felt that the frog was incredibly powerful was because the frog was indeed very large in their eyes.
As for them, they are about the same size as ants in the eyes of a frog.
As for why the world they see at this moment is a universe, it's because they are so insignificant.
At this moment, the others were unaware, but Qin Hao instantly understood.
He gained a new understanding of dimensions.
What is dimension? It is actually the difference in how we perceive the world.
Because they have been shrunk in size, their perspective on the world has undergone a dramatic change.
The average flight speed of a fly in the natural world is 4.5 meters per second.
The speed of light is 3*10^8 meters per second, but from their current perspective, the speed of a fly is the speed of light.
The reason for this is that the dimensions are different.
The Real World is inherently a multi-dimensional space, so this is quite normal.
Qin Hao looked at everyone and said, "The reason we've hardly encountered any humans so far, and even the creatures we have seen, are those that haven't been moving much; otherwise, we wouldn't have seen them at all."
"I understand. It means that as long as these creatures move, their speed will exceed the speed of light, therefore, we will not be able to see them."
Zhao Chuan, as expected of the person who first proposed the concept of the "Universe Sword Art," was indeed intelligent and quickly figured out why.
In fact, having spent 83 billion years with Qin Hao, he has learned a great deal from Qin Hao.
Especially in the area of technology, Qin Hao discovered it back then.
If Zhao Chuan were on Earth, he would most likely be a research talent, just like him.
The reason Qin Hao was able to create a cultivation system in the Zero-Dimensional Universe was actually due to his scientific and innovative spirit. Otherwise, he would have been like the Demon Spirit King, never understanding how he acquired his strength.
"That's right, that's why we don't see any trace of humans, because in the Real World, almost all humans use high-tech skeletons when they go out, which are both energy-saving and environmentally friendly."
The speed of this Mechanical Skeleton far exceeds the 4.5 meters per second of a fly, and when it runs, it is comparable to the speed of a train in the old days.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot see any fast-moving animals or humans.
Especially in these places, teeming with life, humans are very unlikely to come here.
After listening to Qin Hao's explanation, everyone thought about it and finally understood what was going on.
"So, the solution we need to find right now is to go back to our normal size, otherwise we'll be lost here forever."
As Qin Chuan spoke, he sat down cross-legged and began to ponder how to grow bigger.
They also possess the Heaven and Earth Manifestation, but that only results in them growing into a phantom; they can never truly grow to their full size.
Otherwise, once it truly grows larger, its strength will increase exponentially.
At that time, the dimensionality will naturally increase, because higher-dimensional beings will see lower-dimensional beings as if they were ants.
The same applies to observing bacteria and viruses.
This might be what's called Dimensionality Reduction Strike; our own dimension has been lowered, so what we see as just a small patch of space is actually a universe.
But once the dimension increases, it might be a matter of one step, and we could cross it.
Seeing Qin Hao do this, everyone followed suit and sat down to continue comprehending the laws of the universe.
Although they have now reached the end of the Twelve Palaces Cultivation System and attained the realm of Ancestor of Eternal.
However, they are also trying to break through to a higher level.
Qin Hao's consciousness returned to the Zero-Dimensional Universe within his body; unexpectedly, he succeeded.
In fact, it was because he sensed the lingering presence of Qin Chuan and Li Xiyao on the frog as soon as he entered the Real World.
He naturally assumed that Qin Chuan and Li Xiyao had already been eaten by the frogs. Not only that, but the appearance of this world was also different from what he remembered. In fact, even a random frog that appeared was almost as strong as him.
This caused him to overlook the fact that his Twelve Palaces Cultivation System contained the Zero-Dimensional Universe within his body, and he could return to the Zero-Dimensional Universe at any time if he wanted to.
However, to get out of the Real World, you have to go through that black hole.
Originally, he was a researcher in the Real World, so he had a very good understanding of human technological development.
This is only because human lifespan is too short; otherwise, we would probably have reached this level much earlier.
