Coincidental Comedic Incident

The Time-Space Spirit civilization was born at the very end of two-dimensional spacetime.

No one recorded or knew the universe's original form. The entire world had long since shattered beyond recognition.

Limited records and exploration indicated that the universe had originally possessed a multi-ring, multi-layered eleven-dimensional structure. But with the end of the Garden Era, the entire universe had been plunged into a terrifying war that swept across all existence.

This was a war beyond the imagination of most civilizations and lifeforms. Weapons no longer consisted merely of matter and energy. From the earliest super-energy, to gravitational waves caused by extremely compressed matter, then spatial weapons, temporal weapons, dimensional reduction weapons, digital weapons, logical weapons, existential weapons...

From that point onward, the universe had already begun to fall apart. Existential erasure and universal dimensional reduction in particular transformed the original multi-ring, multi-layered eleven-dimensional structure into a single-ring, single-layered ten-dimensional one. Then the rings and layers vanished—nine dimensions, eight dimensions, seven dimensions...

The universe became ever narrower, more crowded, more sealed-off, and darker. Too many civilizations born during the universe's Garden Era met their end, and the universe finally fell to two dimensions. But... the war still had not stopped!

According to the cosmic philosophy of the Dark Forest suspicion chain, every civilization was the mortal enemy of another unfamiliar civilization. There was no cooperation in the universe, only hunters and prey. Even after falling from eleven dimensions to two, the extinction of civilizations carried on from ancient times still continued. Some civilizations had even begun preparing to reduce the entire universe further... from two dimensions to one, into an infinitely tiny point. And that meant...

The end of the entire universe!

The Time-Space Spirit originated at that time. This civilization was not one of the ancients, but a new generation
