"What is it doing?"
"Observing. Just as we observe you, it is observing us."
Lin Ye fell silent.
Even the Observer Civilization was merely an experimental subject for a higher being. This discovery made the whole situation far more complicated.
"So you created experimental universes to imitate it?"
"Not entirely," the Arbiter corrected him. "We are searching for new paths of evolution. Conventional dimensional ascension has reached its limit. We need new possibilities."
"And I demonstrated one of those possibilities?"
"Your 'super-reality' is very special," the Arbiter said. "Rather than gaining higher-dimensional abilities through dimensional ascension, it touches the essence of higher dimensions while maintaining a three-dimensional existence."
The image vanished, and the Concept Origin returned to its original emptiness.
"Now, show me," the Arbiter said. "Show me the essence of super-reality."
Lin Ye closed his eyes-even though the act of "closing his eyes" had no meaning here.
He began to consider what super-reality truly was.
Not power, not a skill, but... a way of perceiving.
"I understand now." He opened his eyes. "The essence of super-reality isn't 'transcending reality,' but 'defining reality.'"
His consciousness began to expand.
"When I believe something is possible, it becomes possible. When I believe a rule can be rewritten, it can be rewritten. Not because I have that ability, but because I believe I do."
"Is this philosophical idealism?"
"No." Lin Ye shook his head. "This is the ultimate application of the observer effect. On the quantum level, observation determines the outcome. Super-reality extends that principle to the macroscopic level."
He began creating within the Concept Origin.
Not with power, but with pure will.
First came a point, then a line, then a plane, then a solid.
None of these steps was "creation," but rather "definition"-he defined that a point should exist here, and
