When Lan Mu chose to comprehend the Creation Algorithm on his own, that choice would split off other timelines.
There would be several Lan Mus, whose timelines began with independently comprehending the Creation Algorithm and developed toward different outcomes.
Yet this was an impossible method to grasp.
It was not a simple yes-or-no question, nor was it as simple as splitting into two or more possibilities.
There was no quantifiable standard for whether one could comprehend it.
Thus, this one choice alone would split into infinite possibilities.
Some would comprehend nothing at all. Some would comprehend other algorithms. Some would fail to endure the pressure and switch methods midway... How could there be any fixed number? It merely approached infinity.
Back when Lan Mu was in the Little World, he had wanted to comprehend erasure. After hundreds of thousands of years, he had instead comprehended reshaping and distance alteration. The difference was worlds apart!
Information was infinite. Therefore, relying purely on self-comprehension would also yield infinite results.
But put another way, among infinitely many Lan Mus, one was bound to comprehend the Creation Algorithm!
Under infinite possibilities, even the lowest probability became inevitable.
It was already known that victory required being at least as powerful as the Proxy, thereby surviving beyond five hundred days.
And once he obtained the Creation Algorithm, Lan Mu's words would become law. He could create whatever he wished, even Contained Objects at will. Such lawmaking power would certainly let him survive past five hundred days.
Thus, once the Creation Algorithm was known to be the path to survival—
It actually revealed another point...
The second characteristic of a certain victory method was that the method itself would split into infinite possibilities.
The logic was simple.
Information itself was infinite. Subtle algorithms were also infinite. Multiple
