Nanhua's End

"The transmigrator saved the world, yet also destroyed it..."

After hearing the account, Lin Chen had already vaguely guessed that the world without Grandmaster Taixuan, Celestial Maiden Yue Ling, and the others was likely a parallel space-time of this side world.

Death River had been created by the human collective from his previous life after they transmigrated into this world, modeled after Schrödinger's cat experiment.

In that great man's view, a cat could exist in a stack state of both life and death, also known as a quantum superposition state.

And every time an observer measured it, that superimposed state would be broken. The cat's life and death would split into two parallel space-times, causing the worlds they inhabited to differ.

Those Death River Spirit Transformation cultivators who surfaced one after another were likely the same person from different parallel space-times.

And if different space-times could exist...

If that was really the case, then time itself was highly likely not one-dimensional, but two-dimensional, perhaps even three-dimensional or four-dimensional... It was only for the continuation of us intelligent species that our earliest ancestors adapted to one-dimensional time. That was why we called it the River of Space-time—because in our eyes, only time that surged on without end, forever advancing forward, could ensure the greatness and eternal life of our individuals and civilizations!

But if time really was one-dimensional, then how could we ensure that countless different universes and space-times appeared along a single River of Space-time?

And when the river of time developed Branch Rivers, that meant time was no longer one-dimensional, but two-dimensional. Two lines could form a plane. Zero dimensions were points, one dimension was a line, two dimensions were a plane, and three dimensions were space... A River of Space-time with Branch Rivers was itself two-dimensional time!
