Li Xingkong understood what the system meant.
Only by letting him personally experience the relationship between these different dimensions can he gain a direct understanding of the Shattering the Void that follows.
However, this place is not suitable for simulation now, since I just killed a so-called crown prince on someone else's territory. It would be better to find a way to get out of here first.
Although there are no other traces of man-made structures around the molecular cloud core where this last resurrection point is located, and no one should be able to find out about it for the time being, this place is still within the territory of the Sihali Kingdom. The death of a crown prince could cause a huge commotion.
Although Fang Ritu could provide them with some necessary cover, now that Xuan Qingzi was gone, Li Xingkong could not guarantee that their cooperation would proceed smoothly.
Reading a lot of history does have some benefits; there are countless stories of plots involving undermining someone's plans and ultimately betraying them.
There are countless proverbs like "When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away."
Li Xingkong couldn't guarantee that Fang Ritu wouldn't throw him out to take the blame once he had achieved his goal.
It's best to slip away while we still have a rapport from having shared a meal.
Once outside the territory of the Sihali Kingdom, one is far from the reach of the emperor and no one can interfere with one's affairs.
There is no inclusion relationship between the two-dimensional world and the three-dimensional world. They are independent of each other, just like a person and his shadow. Wherever Li Xingkong goes, that part of his body can also be transferred in the two-dimensional world.
The perspective and methods of observation in the two-dimensional world are completely different from those in the three-dimensional world.
Humans observe the world in a way that is essentially dimensional reduction. No matter how three-dimensional objects may appear, they are actually formed by the interplay of light, shadow, and color.
When all objects are a black mass, humans cannot discern their three-dimensional structure; they can only see a dark, flat surface.
In a two-dimensional world, everything Li Xingkong could see was a line.
The lines varied in length and the colors on each line were also very different. Li Xingkong, who had just begun to observe the two-dimensional world, had some doubts at one point.
He couldn't distinguish what these lines were, or what the things hidden behind each line would look like from a three-dimensional perspective.
It's like entering a forest where you're surrounded by dense, identical trees, making it impossible to tell which way to go.
Fortunately, he had the help of Divine Sense. With the penetration of Divine Sense, Li Xingkong was able to see the true appearance of each line and depict the appearance of the things it formed.
He was also very familiar with the two-dimensional creations closest to Li Xingkong.
Isn't this the good crown prince he just imprisoned, the important figure from the Sihali Kingdom, Xuan Qingzi?
Although the surrounding area was densely packed with layers of matter, including the reduced-dimensional meteorite and a large amount of surrounding matter, Li Xingkong still noticed him immediately.
Unfortunately, the movable lines still look rather abrupt.
The shields originally placed around the meteorite all became ineffective. As a product of the three-dimensional world, they were never designed to work in a two-dimensional world, so it's no wonder they ended up as useless.
What else can be said? If we let him go, then Li Xingkong's efforts would have been in vain.
Rushing forward, Li Xingkong destroyed the last wisp of Xuan Qingzi's consciousness, finally erasing the guy from this world completely.
After dealing with Xuan Qingzi, Li Xingkong realized something was amiss.
All of the technology of the Sihali Kingdom, whether it be shields or defensive measures, lost its original function under this dimensional reduction attack and became a pile of scrap metal.
However, his Divine Sense and Magic Power were completely unaffected.
Li Xingkong didn't notice this at first, but when he killed Xuan Qingzi and began to take stock of the spoils, he realized something was wrong.
The universality of Divine Sense and Magic Power seems to be far greater than he imagined.
Although Li Xingkong had already begun the leap, this new understanding of Magic Power and Divine Sense also aroused Li Xingkong curiosity.
The only one who can answer him is the system.
The system had no doubt that Li Xingkong was able to discover this problem; after all, anyone with a discerning eye could have noticed it after observing for a few days.
"For your current situation, spiritual practice is still a top-down system."
"Among the theoretical research of your Earth Star, there is a theory that all the big shots talk about with great interest: the Grand Unification Theory. It aims to integrate all objective phenomena and use the same set of theories to explain everything in the real world. This is also a very popular topic in the cultivation world."
"The powerful figures at the top of the cultivation world have reached a very profound level in their research on dimensions. The so-called 'Great Unification' has also yielded similar research results in the area of dimensions."
"And the Spiritual Qi and Magic Power we have now are products of this unified theory. Although all your cultivation seems to take place only in the three-dimensional world, your actions actually have corresponding effects in the higher and lower dimensions."
"And this effect translates into practical application: your Spiritual Qi and Magic Power, as well as everything related to cultivation, can be used across different dimensions."
Hearing the system say this, Li Xingkong felt that another layer of the obscuring illusion on the path of cultivation had been removed.
All the knowledge he had acquired before was based on the foundation of the three-dimensional world. Li Xingkong believed that his understanding of Spiritual Qi, Magic Power, and cultivation was quite thorough. However, after encountering the concept of dimension, he realized that he still knew far less.
This is similar to finishing elementary school and being extremely proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, being able to perform various calculations in daily life with ease, and believing that one already has a certain foundation in mathematics.
But it wasn't until I went to university that I realized why 1+1 equals 2 is still a world-class unsolved problem.
As one's level of spiritual cultivation changes, the more one sees, the more ashamed one feels of one's previous confidence.
Li Xingkong had the same feeling at that moment.
Before this, Li Xingkong felt that he really had some talent. He had been steadily and solidly cultivating his skills, with a strong foundation and profound theoretical knowledge. But now, it seemed that those theories and foundations had not deviated from the so-called teaching model.
Having cultivated to this point, I seem to be no different from those cultivators who cultivated with the help of the Spiritual Root Server.
We are all walking on a path paved by those who came before us.
I've just been a little too honest; I try to be as steady as possible with every step I take.
