Super-Dimensional Matter
On the boundless wilderness.
Scattered among them are tiny specks of life.
Against a dark background.
Every life radiates a pure and bright light.
They occasionally burst forth with flame-like colors.
But they often fade away quickly.
With Xuan's help.
Roger was able to overlook every corner of the Sunken Battlefield—
He saw Super Giant Monsters, as large as a mountain range, hidden in the thick fog.
Prepare for a surprise attack on an army armed to the teeth;...
He saw top-level experts fighting one-on-one.
The surrounding space distorted slightly during the battle.
Roger was certain they had used authority and the power of the law.
This suggests that they were at least senior immortals.
And such a thing exists.
They were everywhere on the Sunken Battlefield;
He also saw countless demons and devils fighting wildly in a place that resembled Blood War Plains.
They seemed unaware of fear.
I don't even know what fatigue is.
Roger watched that war for a very long time.
But it wasn't until his eyes started to sting.
They also did not see the end of the war;
Bloodshed! No.
This is clearly a slaughterhouse, watered by blood and death! I am in the midst of Slaughter Storm.
There are Vortex Creature.
There are also normal beings from other parts of the Nine Great Planets.
Even more astonishing numbers of demons and devils!
"Do you understand now?"
The significance of the Sunken Battlefield ...
Accompanied by Xuan's voice.
Roger's gaze pierced through everything.
He saw a white energy gradually drifting across the battlefield.
The white energy emanated from the tiny sparks of life.
Every single one of their battles.
More white energy will float out.
These white energies transformed into clusters of flames in the void.
The flames continued to rise upwards.
Final.
Roger saw a huge vortex!
"A bloody battle between demons and devils... a death match between Vortex Creature and ordinary beings... and all sorts of bizarre and meaningless battles... is all of this for the purpose of collecting that energy?"
Before we knew it.
Roger's voice was already somewhat hoarse.
Even though he had killed countless people.
But after learning the truth about the Sunken Battlefield.
He still felt a chill run down his spine.
Xuan's handsome facial features also seemed to have become eerily strange.
"It's all for the Cosmic Vortex..."
Xuan said calmly:
"The Cosmic Vortex must not stop spinning until the next great equilibrium arrives, otherwise collapse will be our only fate..."
Roger fell silent.
He didn't know what to say.
"So, Qu Feng, Black Tiger, and the others..."
"They were also used by me."
To date.
They still believe they are fighting for the Nine Great Planets...
That's not wrong either.
However, their true enemies are not each other.
Rather, it was the shattered Cosmic Source Womb and that despicable Future Person ...
Xuan said frankly.
"It's somewhat cruel..."
Roger murmured.
"You don't need to use such euphemisms. This is clearly a very cruel thing, and very immoral..."
"Everyone on the Sunken Battlefield was deceived by me!"
The Vortex Creature believed their purpose in fighting was to invade the Nine Great Planets, while other creatures believed their purpose was to defend their home. I even used the bloody battle between demons and monsters as an energy extractor.
In order to stimulate their fighting spirit.
Occasionally, I'll even resort to some little schemes.
Or simply release some substances that will incite them to fight recklessly...
Actually, all I want is the flames on their bodies! These creatures—
Their battle was actually very meaningful.
It is because of their endless battles that countless sublimated flames were born, which fueled the Cosmic Vortex, keeping it spinning...
Xuan blinked:
"Sometimes I feel really bad about it, so I'll go and fight them a few times, but even when I'm on the Sunken Battlefield, there aren't many people who can really take me on..."
Roger rubbed his temples. "Isn't there any other way?"
"No!"
Xuan's tone was resolute:
"The collapse of the universe is not something that can be changed by human will. The reason I was able to create the Sunken Battlefield is because I received some gifts from the Star Shepherd."
Roger then asked, "Then why does fighting accelerate the rotation of the Cosmic Vortex?"
"Partly it's due to the release of psychic energy; combat is the best way for beings of high power to release their psychic energy. On the other hand, it's an extension of chaos; combat is the practice of the laws of chaos, and the inertia of the Cosmic Vortex's rotation is the trend of chaos. Conversely, the trend of chaos can also maintain the rotation of the Cosmic Vortex to a certain extent..."
Xuan continued to explain, "As I told you before, the apocalyptic phenomena in various parts of the Nine Great Planets originated from the deceleration of the Cosmic Vortex, and the fundamental reason is the universe's self-preservation mechanism—"
As the Cosmic Vortex begins to stall, some inherent mechanisms within the Cosmic Source Womb begin to activate, releasing doomsday signals and creating chaos! For mortals, this truly is the arrival of the end times;
But for the universe, this is precisely a manifestation of its efforts to save itself! If the Cosmic Source Womb has not been tampered with.
The chaotic trend unleashed by the doomsday mechanism does indeed ensure that the Cosmic Vortex continues to operate.
Perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years from now.
The universe will then return to normal.
On the planet after the apocalypse.
A new round of civilizational evolution will begin...
"But that won't do now! The self-preservation mechanism of the Cosmic Source Womb has also been tampered with by Future Person. I can't just stand by and watch the universe collapse, so..."
Speaking of which...
Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
He seemed a little tired.
Roger's expression was solemn.
He was processing the information Xuan had given him as quickly as possible.
From the current perspective...
Xuan's explanation is not problematic.
Roger was unaware of many of these facts.
But after Xuan pointed it out.
He will then have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
This is the function of authority.
Information that is close to the law.
Roger could have gradually learned about it through the Star Master Authority.
But as long as someone else tells him in advance.
He can instantly understand and recognize knowledge.
Roger understood.
This kind of rule-based information is almost impossible to fake.
Unless the mystic has become so advanced that he can arbitrarily change the laws of the universe.
But when that situation actually comes...
He has no need to deceive himself.
"So, this is the Heavenly Realm's plan?"
Roger pointed to the Sunken Battlefield and said.
"No, this is my own plan..."
Xuan sneered disdainfully:
"Those people in the Celestial Realm were terrified. A group of them signed a summoning contract with a powerful being in the neighboring universe more than a dozen epochs ago. They descended into the neighboring universe as summoned creatures—I don't know the outcome, but I imagine it wasn't good, otherwise they would have notified me long ago..."
"Of the remaining people, some were devoured by the Aberrant Matter, some were lost in the long river of time, and only two or three still possessed the ability and will to act..."
Roger asked thoughtfully, "What about O?"
"That delusional guy has been completely brainwashed by Pandora. Although I admit that Pandora is a very wise woman, her method of saving the universe is completely unreliable!"
Speaking of which...
Xuan said with some annoyance:
"I don't know where O is now, but I know He must be on one of the Nine Great Planets. I noticed He was quite ill when we last met!"
Although He also mastered Vortex Matter.
But without transforming itself into Vortex Template, the Aberrant Matter might erode His heart!
I should have stopped him.
Well!"
He looked very worried.
"What method does Pandora plan to use to save the universe?"
Roger's heart skipped a beat.
"The Hollowing Curse —you've probably heard of it, it's about trying to turn this universe into a game."
Once successful.
It is as easy as repairing the Cosmic Source Womb in Celestial God Game.
According to Pandora's theory.
It will revert to its original state after the repair is complete.
This is indeed a brilliant idea—
But things are never that simple.
Xuan began to complain, "The reason why the Hollowing Curse failed halfway through was very simple. If you want to seal reality into a mini-game, you need to be in a state of supreme dominance or become a transcendent! But you are already a transcendent, so isn't it easy for you to directly cultivate a Cosmic Source Womb?"
After that incident, Pandora paid the price for her recklessness, and Odu also suffered serious injuries. I haven't seen either of them in a long time, and I hope I never will..."
I've been chatting with Xuan for so long.
Roger gradually caught up with his train of thought, "You mean, they could potentially become your enemies?"
"Possibly."
Xuan shook his head:...
"In the long river of history."
Even gods can be obscured by dust.
I've experienced far too many accidents like this—
They used to be very close friends.
After a long period of being out of contact.
When they reappear, they often stand before you as enemies.
I don't want to face Oh! He's too powerful, he's no match for me.
What's more, He always has a Pandora by His side!
She is an incredibly intelligent Goddess, perhaps a tenth as intelligent as me! Compared to her, Mystra is like a kindergarten girl..."
Roger gave a dry laugh.
I cannot comment on that.
He looked at the Cosmic Vortex before him.
Then he suddenly asked, "Won't all of this eventually come to an end?"
"Do you remember what I told you? In the thirteenth life, there will be earth-shattering changes!"
Xuan stared at Roger:
"The ether and the energy have never been able to maintain an absolute balance. As one thing rises and the other falls, the Cosmic Vortex can only give birth to more and more Aberrant Matter. But in the not-too-distant future, our universe will usher in an unprecedented Great Equilibrium Period! That will be the best opportunity!"
Roger instantly understood. "Super-Dimensional Matter?"
"Yes, during that period, the Cosmic Source Womb will exhaust its potential and burst forth with a large amount of Super-Dimensional Matter. This is the universe's last instinct for self-preservation, and it is also our only chance! This Super-Dimensional Matter has the potential to create a transcendent being, and my plan is to make you that transcendent being!"
Xuan said in a low voice, "Therefore, before the Great Balance arrives, you must become a Celestial God, Strong Celestial God would be even better!"
Roger thought for a moment.
Suddenly, as if possessed, he asked, "Are there any beings above the Strong Celestial God?"
This time, it was Xuan's turn to be stunned.
"You little rascal, you wouldn't... know nothing about this!"
Apart from the Transcendent Ones, no one appears stronger than the Strong Celestial God! But the Transcendent Ones are beings of a higher dimension.
They're not on the same scale as us.
There is no need for us to compete with each other.
Xuan laughed and said, "You wouldn't be able to advance to a position stronger than Strong Celestial God without being a transcendent being, would you?"
"No, no... I was just asking..."
Roger gave an awkward smile.
I hope you can!
Xuan suddenly said seriously:
"You may face even greater challenges ahead. Our opponents are very strong, so the stronger you are, the better!"
"Besides those from the Future Person, who else do we have as adversaries?"
"The Future Person may not show up..."
Xuan said in a cold voice:...
"In fact."
Our struggle against Him has always been against His agents.
The arrival of the Great Equilibrium Period.
He will surely support more agents to restrain us.
There are still many powerful individuals among the Nine Great Planets—
They may be Corrosion gods.
It could also be a crocodile lurking in history.
Even greedy life forms from other universes!
They will stop at nothing to seize Super-Dimensional Matter.
All of this is bound to lead to an even greater disaster.
For the current inhabitants of your planet.
This is a severe test.
"I see..."
Upon hearing this...
Roger has basically decided to join forces with Xuan.
Although His actions on the Sunken Battlefield were extremely inhumane.
However, it is not incomprehensible to think about the problem from a higher perspective.
If the universe were to be destroyed.
These powerful figures naturally vanished along with them.
But the root of all this is the most important thing! "I'm about to leave, and for the arrival of the Great Equilibrium Period, I must make more thorough preparations; the beings Above Twin Stars are almost the last remaining spark of life on the Nine Great Planets, and they are our last hope for victory. Protect them for us..."
As he spoke.
Xuan pushed an unseen authority in front of Roger.
Roger instinctively took it.
"Hint: You have obtained Celestial God-level authority (Guardian)"
"Although you are not a native of this universe, I see many excellent qualities in you. You are a very good guardian. I no longer need this authority, so I will entrust it to you for now..."
Xuan smiled slightly, "If you have any other needs, feel free to ask me. The next time we meet will probably be when we join forces against our enemy..."
Roger did not refuse.
He accepted that authority directly.
Without much thought, he said, "Give me one of your amulets..."
"What do you need this for? Oh, you got the South Sea Fire Sword? But you only tried twice... I see, you Load Save and Start Over?"
Xuan reacted quickly.
"You know about this specialty?"
Roger was somewhat surprised.
"Of course! The parameters of specialties in the universe are fixed, including the total amount and distribution. If one can understand the universe's specialty database, then naturally one can also search for them..."
However, you still amaze me greatly; this specialty is one of a kind in this universe, meaning it's unique!
Xuan said enviously:
"If only I had this special skill back when we played the Celestial God Game, those idiots in the clan would never be a match for me..."
A hint of reminiscence flickered in her eyes.
"That seems like it happened a very, very long time ago..."
Then.
She took out a charm and handed it to Roger.
Then she gracefully walked back into the painting.
The entire painting began to Self-Immolation.
A moment later.
Only wisps of smoke and embers remain.
