Local Time-Space definitely did not possess "self-awareness." The so-called "Drunkard" was actually a virtual scenario Ronan had constructed through his Self, anthropomorphizing the complex, redundant information presented by Local Time-Space and molding it into a half-mad figure. The original intent was to defer the massive volume of information, letting the Altar Spiderweb and Cloud Top Biological Brain Array digest, settle, analyze, and calculate it, extracting the core elements to achieve more efficient "communication."
This was the method he had devised when his Great Comprehension became permanently fixed and he needed to reach a compromise with Local Time-Space. It was an application of the domains of the Dream Divine Abomination and the Lord of Illusory Nightmare. In the end, it was still because he had not broken through the Law Deployment Absolute Barrier, his Form and Spirit Framework was not stable enough, and the road ahead was unclear, causing unnecessary complications for Local Time-Space's rule reconstruction.
In any case, through this method, Ronan and Local Time-Space had gone through several rounds of struggle before temporarily reaching a "Memorandum of Understanding": Local Time-Space ceded a small portion of its rule authority, allowing Ronan's existence to permeate it. Like an Ancient God, he could interpret underlying signals transmitted from distant time-spaces, while certain information could also be conveyed beyond the endless river of stars along the stretched and expanding Space-Time Structure.
This was the mode of existence and observation belonging to Ancient Gods.
For now, the macroscopic feedback from distant time-spaces and the endless river of stars was not particularly clear. But within Local Time-Space—or rather, within the Space-Time Structure of Three Cats Under the Cape—Ronan could already be considered a "minor shareholder," extending his influence into every corner of this complex time-space.
Even Deep Blue World had to leak out a little
