(All right, all right, I know I read the calendar wrong yesterday. The double monthly votes only ended yesterday... So can we still get some monthly votes today? Thank you all for your support!)
In the Shilin Apostles' worldview, the universe was an immense and intricate mathematical machine, with everything rooted in information theory. Descriptions of vast quantities of information made up all things in the world, while the relationships of deduction and transformation between information meant that they belonged to one complete system. When this enormous mathematical machine rumbled into operation, each of its values and footnotes began calculating according to precise formulas, and the universe began to function. It was self-consistent, complete, self-explanatory, and self-sustaining. Within the World Barrier, it contained all the data needed for the system to operate reliably. Every event in the universe could find a corresponding footnote within this mathematical framework. Its capacity for "self-perpetuation" was the most stable Order Field, and this endlessly regenerating, self-sufficient information allowed the world to endure in the void for a long time.
But once the World Barrier was destroyed, the entire universe would be exposed to the deadly force of "resetting."
If the universe were regarded as orderly data recorded on a disk, then the void would undoubtedly be a magnetic field. Of course, the real situation was far more complicated; this was merely an example for ease of understanding. A magnetic field could record information, write all the data required by this "universal disk," and build a world, but more often than not, it could also wipe everything from that disk clean. Since the universe was essentially a "data disk" without a physical medium, once the void erased a world, the possibility of restoring it was absolutely zero. The process of void backflow was like a
