Shen Yi kept his patience and asked in a low voice.
"Besides needing a large number of Authority Holders with specific powers, what other conditions are there?"
"Or rather, do these created planets and star systems have any limitations or flaws?"
Mia did not seem surprised that Shen Yi had so quickly grasped the key point. She nodded gently and continued, "The greatest limitation lies in their foundation."
"No matter how intricate the rules constructed and simulated by Authority Holders are, or how closely they resemble nature, their foundation remains the Authority Holders' own power and will."
"They are fundamentally different from the rules of primordial universes, which arose naturally and evolved over vast spans of time."
"The rules of a primordial universe form a self-consistent system. They arise from within and can evolve and sustain themselves."
"The rules constructed by Authority Holders are more like a simulation. Their stability and continued existence depend heavily on their creators' constant input of power."
She paused, then spoke more firmly.
"So once the Authority Holders who constructed a planet or star system leave or stop supplying it with power, the rules they created rapidly collapse and disintegrate."
"The matter, energy, and even life that depend on those rules are annihilated along with them."
Mia looked at Shen Yi and said each word distinctly.
"And the speed of that annihilation is almost unimaginable. According to past records and observations, when a domain constructed and maintained by Authority Holders loses their support, even one the size of an ordinary planet, its entire network of rules collapses and its material structure is completely annihilated in no more than three days Beyond the World."
Three days Beyond the World?
Shen Yi's pupils contracted slightly.
Time flowed differently Beyond the World than it did in worlds within,
