From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 404: Reset and Restart, This is a Forced Self-rescue

After the Zero Returners' explanation, Zhang Heng and Yun Tianming did not ask any more questions.

After all, with their level of knowledge, to the Zeroers, it can simply be described as ignorance.

Therefore, if they continue to ask questions, they will probably never run out of questions.

After the two stopped communicating with their consciousness, the Pangu III Metaverse, also known as the Three-Body Metaverse, finally officially began to return to zero!

Zhang Heng, whose consciousness is in the ten-dimensional non-material universe, seemed to hear the wails of all living beings in the Pangu III meta-universe at this moment!
The wailing was mixed with resentment, despair, resentment... and all the negative emotions that Zhang Heng knew.

Among them, there are many civilizations and many lives that have done nothing wrong at all; they just live for the sake of living.

But today, the universe on which they depend for survival has been destroyed!

At this moment, Zhang Heng seemed to see those people on Earth who had not left, including Luo Ji.

Even though the current Luo Ji of the Three-Body Universe is not the Luo Ji of the past, he is still so calm when facing death.

"Children, the sun will never rise again once it sets, just like if I close my eyes I will never open them again. Do you regret staying here?"

At this time, Luo Ji, who was already very old, was half lying on a rocking chair in front of the courtyard, looking at the dark red solar system and talking to a group of young people.

At this moment, he also realized what was about to happen.

But I didn’t expect it to come so soon!

But if it weren't for the years when the angel civilization was in the solar system, and the Earth's technology had developed rapidly, he would have died long ago and would not be alive today.

Now, he himself does not regret his decision not to leave.

But he felt it was a pity for the young people still left on Earth!
Luo Ji's old voice finished speaking, but no young person answered him.

In the face of death, how many people will not feel regret before they die?

That is the most primitive survival instinct of living things. Even at the last moment, they still want to struggle, even if it is a useless psychological struggle.

Therefore, they really couldn't say things like they had no regrets.

In silence, the dark red sun turned into light red, and then gradually became translucent, until it disappeared over the horizon. Even with any astronomical telescope, the sun could no longer be observed.

At this time, it was the Earth's turn to fall...

Starting from all the basic matter in the universe, everything is moving back to the singularity in the direction it came from.

This is zeroing out!
……

"From the perspective of angels, this behavior should be more evil than so-called evil, right?"

What is happening in the universe is vivid in Zhang Heng's mind, and for a moment he couldn't help but think so.

A universe was destroyed, and along with it, countless lives within it were destroyed!
Although he was not the executioner, he was the executioner's accomplice.

“I used to think that viewing life as a number was enough to summarize how insignificant life is, but I never expected that a string of numbers is actually very large!”

Yun Mingyun felt almost the same shock as Zhang Heng when the universe returned to zero. Although he had now become the supreme leader of the Three-Body Civilization and had witnessed countless births and destructions over hundreds of millions of years.

However, when he personally witnessed the destruction of a universe, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness deep in his heart.

To describe it using human idioms, perhaps this emotion can be called "the rabbit dies and the fox mourns."

Yes, as a life in the same universe, even though he is now superior to most lives, he is still a member of the countless living beings in this universe.

How can I not feel sad when I suddenly see large numbers of lives being lost because of the restart?

"Don't have any psychological burden. Restarts like ours will inevitably face the natural heat death of the universe in the future. This is destined and unavoidable."

"If we want to rewrite this destiny, we will have to sacrifice something."

"By sacrificing them, we also sacrifice all the characteristics of our lives, including but not limited to so-called personal emotions and morals."

"From the moment we restart, we are no longer alive. We represent the new universe, and all our actions can only serve the arrival of the new universe."

"When necessary, we can even sacrifice ourselves!"

The Zeroers said.

This is true. When the universe was restarted to the last moment, they were included in it.

With a 50-50 success rate for restarting, there is a 50-50 chance that they will perish along with the heat death of the entire universe!
But even if the Zeroizers said so, Zhang Heng at this moment still couldn't bear to see the life of a universe being reduced to zero like this. After all, he was now a life form with emotional psychology, and no longer the rational consciousness that was so ruthless that he would only obey calculations.

However, Zhang Heng did not say much about it, and turned to ask the Zero-Resetters: "The Pangu III metaverse, which belongs to the same macrocosm, has begun to return to zero, so what about the remaining microcosms?"

He was personally in charge of the broadcasting within the Trisolaran Universe, and at this moment he certainly knew exactly how many civilizations had not responded to the return movement and returned the mass of the microcosm.

There are even a considerable number of civilizations that are hiding in their own small universes to avoid the universe returning to zero.

"The quality issues of those lost and irretrievable small universes should not affect the final result."

The Zeroers said.

But Zhang Heng noticed that they used an uncertain tone.

In other words, they are not 100% sure whether failure to retrieve the mass that was taken away to build the small universe will affect the final restart of the universe.

"If this reset and restart is the same as before, there may not be any problems, but I always feel that the mass of those lost small universes is very important."

Zhang Heng also said.

He also expressed his long-standing concerns, which had arisen since he learned that Cheng Xin had secretly kept five kilograms of weight.

Although the universe was successfully restarted later, Zhang Heng was still worried about this as he said.

“We have concerns about this, but we are unable to resolve the issue.”

Those who are reset to zero are also helpless.

The microuniverse, which takes mass from the macrouniverse and then creates a new universe of its own, can be said to be a bug in the universe.

Take the most basic law of conservation of energy for example. Energy can neither be created out of thin air nor disappear out of thin air. It can only be transformed from one form to another, or transferred from one object to another, while the total amount of energy remains unchanged.

It can also be stated that the total energy of a system can only change by the amount of energy that is transferred into or out of the system. So, the total energy in the universe is always constant, right?
How could such a civilization be so worthy as to make them disappear in the universe and go to a place that cannot even be affected by zero and is completely separated from the universe?

After all, according to the law of conservation of energy, the mass that was taken away to build the small universe should theoretically still be in the big universe, right?
"Also, the micro-universe will eventually be unable to sustain itself due to the disappearance of the macro-universe, and the final destination of mass is also very puzzling to us."

The Nullifiers continued.

In the past, when the universe was reset to zero and restarted, many civilizations were often unwilling to return the mass of their small universe, just like the civilizations in the Three-Body Universe now, who have been hiding in their own small universe until the end.

However, after the restart and the arrival of the new universe, these civilizations that had not returned to the big universe could no longer be found in the new universe.

In this regard, the top civilizations can only make such conclusions for those small universes that have not returned to zero before returning to zero.

It is believed that whether it is the mass of the small universe that has not returned, or the civilization that remains in the small universe and has not returned, after the big universe has completely returned to zero and become a singularity, it will not be able to persist and will self-destruct.

Otherwise, there would be no reason why they would not want to return to live in the new universe after the new universe arrives.

After all, no matter how good the microcosm is, can it be as good as the microcosm of the eighth world of the Three-Body Civilization?

Even the Eighth World of the Three-Body Civilization chooses to live in the big universe most of the time, which is enough to prove that no matter how perfect a small universe is, it cannot be compared with the big universe.

Unless it can reach the level of the metaverse.

But once it reaches the level of the metaverse, it can no longer be called a microuniverse.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That is, the universe after being reset to zero and restarted, no matter how similar it looks on the surface, can no longer be the same universe as before.

Those civilizations that remain in the microcosm have actually lost contact with the macrocosm forever.

It can also be said that they are all trapped in their own small universe forever.

This is because the only door that connects the small universe to the big universe, that is, the space anchor point, was completely cleared out when the big universe returned to zero.

When the new universe arrives, the small universe that has not returned has no door or space anchor leading to the new universe, so it will naturally lose connection.

Of these two statements, Zhang Heng is more inclined to the latter.

However, it is estimated that not many of those small universes that did not return can survive until now.

Because there is another inevitable result, that is, the small universe will also experience heat death.

Even the big universe has a lifespan, let alone the small universe?
Therefore, it is estimated that none of the last zero-return cycle and the small universes that have not returned in the past can continue to exist.

"In fact, the total mass of the universe has been decreasing all the time and has never stopped."

The Zeros continued.

As they have led the reset and restart time and time again, they are naturally very sure about this.

No one knows better than them how much the total mass of the universe was at the beginning and how much is left now.

"So, is there a possibility that after the natural heat death of the microcosm, the mass will break the law of mass conservation and disappear directly?"

"Or, in other words, they form another singularity, somewhere we can't observe."

Yun Tianming also said at this time.

But this is just an argument that has no basis at present. After all, all civilizations in the universe, even the most advanced ones, have never seen what the universe looks like at the time of natural heat death.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether the law of conservation of energy will still exist after the natural heat death of the universe.

Because the so-called law of conservation of energy is only limited to the singularity that forms the universe.

When the universe naturally experiences heat death and turns back into a singularity, it is possible that its own energy will also overflow to a place that cannot be observed by any civilization.

"We have all thought about the issues you have thought about, even all alliances have thought about them, but as long as it involves things outside the universe, it is beyond our understanding."

"We are actually no different from those civilizations that are being reset to zero right now. We were also born in this universe and cannot transcend it."

"But we don't have much time to think about it. This is not a gamble, but a self-rescue. Whether we succeed or not, we must do it unswervingly to save ourselves and the future of civilization."

As the Zeroizers were talking, the zeroing of the entire Three-Body Universe was almost coming to an end.

Although it seems tragic that all the lives and civilizations in the Three-Body Universe have been forced back to zero, it will move all beings with humanity.

However, the Zeroers are right, this is a forced self-rescue.

If self-rescue is successful, civilization may still have a future outside the natural heat death of the universe.

Failure to save yourself is just the difference between late annihilation and early annihilation!
The word "civilization" no longer seems to refer to a single, independent group in the eyes of the Zeroers, but a large group.

For a civilization, if a few individuals can continue to exist, that is the continuation of this civilization.

Similarly, for a large collective in the universe, as long as a few civilizations can continue to exist, they are the continuation of all civilizations in the universe.

Then, in a scene that would move all the witnesses, the Three-Body Universe returned to zero and ended!
Zhang Heng, who was in the ten-dimensional non-material space, could no longer feel any material existence.

It was a void, from ten dimensions to eleven dimensions at the microscopic level.

"You should prepare yourself well. We won't stop for long, and we can't stop."

Afterwards, the Zeroers expressed another meaning to Zhang Heng.

"Are we going to take tough measures against the Metaverse of other alliances?"

Zhang Heng asked.

"It's not time yet. The remaining Yuan Universe of Pangu Civilization will be divided up by the alliances before it's too late. This is our primary goal."

The Zeroers said.

Based on strategic considerations, even though the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance is very strong, it has currently received support from many alliances that have changed their tune.

However, the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance is still unable to face the tremendous pressure from all the alliances in the universe combined.

Therefore, now is not the time to completely break off relations with other opposition alliances.
