Li Qi stared at it all in astonishment.
The Desire Realm's true body, against which he had been utterly helpless, had formed a closed cycle of reincarnation just like that. Then, its possibilities fell to zero, and it finally stepped into complete extinction.
This had nothing to do with divine abilities themselves, nor was there any augmentation from spells.
It was simply a single "strike."
The Golden Cudgel came down, and the four fundamental forces were restored to the superforce.
Force had existed from the beginning. At temperatures higher than unification, electromagnetism and the weak force were one force. Only after symmetry breaking occurred could they be distinguished.
It was like macroscopic forces such as friction and elasticity. After macroscopic symmetry breaking, they took different forms, but before microscopic symmetry breaking, they were essentially both the repulsive force between electrons—the same force.
The universe's source of energy was the same. Originally, cosmic space existed in a stable high-energy state. In that state, energy could not exist in any form; energy itself was that high-energy state. But at some moment, that stable high-energy state was broken, and cosmic space inevitably and spontaneously fell from the high-energy state into a more stable low-energy state. That was when energy was released.
Thus, by exerting a greater force, it could be completely restored to the very instant when the universe first opened.
The superforce erupted. All physical elements were restored, exactly as they had been at the beginning. Everything would cease to exist—dimensions, spacetime, all of it.
Time was the continuous change of matter, and space was the coexistence of matter. Time and space were not objectively existing things, merely subsidiary states of matter. Even if inflation turned a grain of sand into a hundred thousand Milky Ways in an instant, it would not
