Lu Ping’an lay in bed, but he wasn’t idle.
His fingers tapped unconsciously on the windowsill.
Was he thinking? Sending a secret code? Or was it some strange ritual?
Suddenly, when Lu Ping’an tapped at a certain point, the world "in his eyes" twisted and turned into a gray-black exotic realm.
The next moment, everything returned to normal.
However, the windowsill under Lu Ping’an’s fingers had vanished without a trace at that very moment.
"Hehe, quite interesting."
With that, he began flipping through the pages of a book.
Now, he could actually see, only what he saw was probably different from what others saw.
As the price for obtaining the "truth," he also lost the privilege of being deceived by "illusions."
In his field of vision, there were only black and white... He didn’t lie; he could no longer see the "colorful" world anymore, but that didn’t seem to affect his observation.
"Tsk, I won’t be able to play color TV video games anymore."
Lu Ping’an thought about it for a moment and realized that apart from watching movies, the impact wasn’t that big...
"Ah! Being colorblind can’t get a driver’s license, the impact is huge!"
Upon closer inspection, Lu Ping’an felt that he might not be unable to get a license. Although he could only see two colors, the "gray scale" constructed by different levels of black and white could still provide specific color feedback.
"Just label the color code..." Although it seemed far-fetched, Lu Ping’an felt that he could do it.
His vision had changed dramatically.
"What a pity, Big Cat doesn’t even dare to share." Lu Ping’an thought it was rather interesting when he saw Big Cat refusing to touch something for the first time.
Is Big Cat stupid? Cowardly?
Of course not. Every person who had reached the Quasi-God level had gone through countless years and adventures as villainous bosses. Would they be frightened or even shaken by unproven information?
They actually would be.
Curse, Decree, rules, the principles of the world; the world of professionals is about constantly building their "self."
They trace their origins and seek the truth about themselves...
"This ritual of Ascension seems like doing a math problem, a proof problem..."
"In a way, it is."
Rules are the "privilege" that can be used in any world, while the "principles of the world" constitute the core of an independent Divine Kingdom... Or, in other words, an "independent kingdom."
Big Cat once said that when one reaches a certain level, they must determine their "origin," be it Ten Thousand Spirits or Constant Motion. Each person has a unique name and existence, and there are thousands of different faces.
In a sense, this is like stacking building blocks, choosing materials, and slowly building one’s castle and throne.
The more they accumulate, the higher they build, the closer they naturally get to the supreme origin... The deities upon the thrones also fight each other to build themselves even higher.
Big Cat had already built herself high enough, with her roots firmly entrenched in the ground. It was precisely for this reason that she did not dare to touch the "truth" that Lu Ping’an offered, even if that truth was closer to the "origin" than her rules and principles... No, to be more precise, the closer the information that Lu Ping’an offered to the "origin," the less she dared to touch it.
"She can no longer turn back, let alone change course... It’s too bad, I didn’t see the moment the building block throne collapsed. Uh, maybe it won’t collapse, but it’s enough to make her roll on the ground."
Lu Ping’an felt somewhat regretful.
The willpower of those who can become Quasi-Gods is extremely firm and cannot be easily shaken. They’re always pursuing the origin, but they also know that they can never get close to it.
Blind people touching an elephant? No, that’s just low dimensions who can’t reach high dimensions.
Like the moth chasing the sun, they are forever on the road.
They’re upgrading themselves; the "formulas," "axioms," and "truths" they come up with don’t need to be universally true. They just need to be applicable within their perceptual range and be approved by the current world.
And if they learn that their "truth" is actually a "special case" under specific circumstances, and that there are more accurate "truths" closer to their reality, even if they refuse to believe it, they’ll instinctively question their own "truth." And once they doubt their own rules, their divine kingdom might be on the verge of collapse.
Even if they don’t believe it, they’ll think about it in their minds, and they’ll unconsciously question it. But for deities, that is extremely dangerous.
However, under normal circumstances, such a thing wouldn’t happen...
"How can an ordinary person possibly be closer to the origin than a deity?"
Yet, at this moment, an exception truly occurred.
Lu Ping’an saw the "truth," the "truth" which They could never see... It was not because of his exceptional talent, but the simple reason that cognitive limitations hindered vision, and in the extraordinary world, if one cannot "be aware" of its existence, naturally they cannot observe it.
"The origin of the universe seems to be hidden in its basic building blocks, and the indistinguishable atoms of this multiverse make it impossible for them to think in that direction, such as Einstein, who couldn’t establish the Unified Field Theory no matter what."
Einstein’s research achievements in the first half of his life are incredibly glorious, but his pursuit of the grand unified field theory in the second half, attempting to unify gravity and electromagnetism, failed multiple times.
The reason doesn’t lie in his lack of strength, for he was already at the peak... It is because, during his time, the discoveries of the microcosmic world were not enough, and without finding the weak and strong forces, it was highly unlikely to establish a more complete "cosmic model."
When he couldn’t see it, he would naturally not think about it, nor would he research it.
The deities of this world also cannot likely grasp Lu Ping’an’s "truth" because when they treat atoms as indivisible like common sense, they naturally wouldn’t develop quantum mechanics, nor would they have Lu Ping’an’s "world model conjecture" based on its foundation, and naturally, there wouldn’t be conjectures about the "true origin"...
"Perhaps, the Ten Thousand Spirits or similar existences are not like what I saw before, an entity..."
"Maybe, like fundamental particles, they also possess the wave-particle duality..."
"Perhaps, the image of them constantly splitting and fusing is just a fantasy filtered by my mind, and the real entity is the overlapping, fusion, and splitting of countless bands; it is a continuous throbbing, splitting process, and energy states and material states are just parts of it..."
"Huh? So, wouldn’t Constant Motion be like that as well? This eternal movement, described by others as the ’origin of Constant Motion,’ is not a meteor, but an eternally erratic particle state?"
"Wait, doesn’t this indicate that the two might be merged? Constantly shifting between ’motion (wave)’ and ’static (particle)’..."
"If it is the origin, then its interference is naturally omnipresent to us and everything around us..."
"So, could pollutant be considered as ’wave propagation,’ ’particle collision’... From this perspective, there might be a higher-dimensional world, a world of energy."
"What kind of damned pollution is that? It’s the origin of this world... No, you cannot make such judgments yet; it’s too early, after all, other origins still exist."
"Wait, could multiple interference sources jointly construct this world?"
"If you consider Constant Motion and Ten Thousand Spirits as a model that constantly splits and fuses, emitting waves and particles, then there is no doubt that it is one of the cosmic origins, this seems to make sense... There are many realities that support this conjecture, such as the Divine Kingdom and Exotic Realm travels, and the development process of pollution..."
"Wave propagation, vibration... Is the universe in constant vibration? In this case, each deity is an independent source of vibration; this makes sense..."
Too many black boxes and unknowns still exist, making Lu Ping’an’s "origin model" more of a fantasy, just like the "Ten Thousand Spirits" he saw back then.
When he yelled out "Eternal Moving Spirit" and boldly speculated that they were actually one entity, he had already surpassed most deities.
This is not something one can simply shout and receive a response; only when you truly "see" it can you be sensed by "that side," and only then can you be seen by "that side."
This is the "observer effect" of this multiverse. Or rather, when you pay enough attention to the higher dimension, the higher dimension naturally pays attention to you.
The sun always hangs there; as long as you have eyes and dare to look up... what happens afterward is another matter entirely.
At that moment, Lu Ping’an saw the "origin," an "origin" based on his new model; it was undoubtedly not the complete truth, but it exceeded the cognitive limits of most deities.
It wasn’t that Lu Ping’an was extraordinary; rather, he had been standing on the shoulders of giants from the beginning, and lifted his head from the blind spot that other deities could never touch.
He saw the truth, shouted out that "name," and frightened the giant cat.
The giant cat’s "truth" was the Mother Goddess, the pure path of life... When she heard Lu Ping’an call out the true name, she subconsciously formed a conjecture, and in just a brief moment, she felt doubts and hesitation.
She was genuinely afraid to listen further.
She feared that her path might have been wrong, and she was afraid to question whether the "origin model" she had built in the past was a joke from the beginning.
Even deities need constant "verification" and "accumulation" to make their "origins" closer to the truth and their theories closer to the ultimate truth.
This is the path of advancement for professionals; it seems that it could also be the possible evolution of deities.
The same-origin enemies, in various senses of life and death struggles, the right and the wrong, absorbing each other’s theories to become stronger; perhaps the so-called Twelve-Pillar had emerged through mutual integration and fusion.
But if a theory proves that all others are wrong and superficial...
"...I can’t start over from the beginning." As a result, the giant cat didn’t dare to listen carefully.
But someone else could.
Someone could re-verify, reaccumulate, and reascend to the new throne.
His starting point might be someone else’s end.
At this moment, the gaze with which the giant cat looked at Lu Ping’an became even more complicated.
