Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 187

(Semi-set chapter, choose by yourself)

……

After the illusory Vic has finished negotiating with the wizard civilization in this world.

The time in the multiverse suddenly stopped at this moment.

At this moment, except for the illusory Vic and Vic himself, all other existence has become completely still.

This terrifying force is obviously the work of the "author" in the higher narrative level.

Even the cross-world "authority power" that the imaginary Vic possesses at this time is actually "granted by the author."

At this moment, Vic had already transcended all previous power systems and reached the same level as the illusory Vic in an instant.

That is to say, to have complete control over the existence of a world.

Even with the cross-narrative support of the "author", he can vaguely perceive other worlds in the same narrative layer.

Of course, he couldn't go to those worlds.

Because they belong to other "authors".

If he forced himself to go there, he would only go to a new world created by the "author".

A world within the scope of the "author's" understanding.

Even outside that world, Vic doesn't know whether there are other worlds hidden in it that are not discovered by higher narrative levels.

In fact, this kind of thing is very normal.

At a higher narrative level, perhaps the complete loss of a story makes the original lower narrative world unknown to the higher narrative level.

And those worlds are completely out of the control of the higher narrative level, either developing or stagnating.

At this time, Vic is waiting for his avatar to appear in the new world that the "author" is going to create.

In his spare time, he also began to look at some "world settings" in his own world.

This was an ability he had just discovered he possessed.

There will be a lot of distortion in the transmission of information between different narrative layers.

This distortion is both to make the world more reasonable and to promote the development of the world, allowing the lower narrative world to play freely.

Therefore, even if he can see the original settings of the "author", it does not mean that these "settings" are truly realized in his world.

What's more, their world itself has begun to slip out of the control of the "author".

The true nature of their world began to become blurred in the "author's" memory.

These settings can only be used as a reference or story.

...holding his breath and concentrating, Vic began to sense the "settings" projected by the "author".

……

……

"Hello, future me."

When Vic began to perceive the "world setting", the illusory Vic suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

"This information may be contaminated by a higher level of narrative. For safety reasons, I will relay it to you."

"First, it's about the settings related to the multiverse."

The illusory Vic smiled slightly and began to tell the story bit by bit.

"The background of our world is the multiverse. The basic rules of the multiverse are fixed and almost unshakable, while different small worlds have different secondary rules."

"These secondary rules are easy to modify, and the rules of different worlds may conflict. If there is no way to resolve the conflict of rules, the conflicting parts will undergo unpredictable mutations."

"The multiverse is not a traditional spatial structure. Its hierarchy is reflected in the differences in rules between different worlds. Generally speaking, the more similar the rules of the worlds are, the closer they are in the multiverse. The farther the universe is from each other, the more different the rules are."

"The distance I'm talking about here is not a spatial concept, but the distance between different worlds on a plane after the difficulty of reaching one world from another is presented on the plane. In fact, there is usually no spatial connection between different worlds in the multiverse."

"At the same time, the differences in rules between different worlds are not even. In a certain section, the initial differences in rules between the universes may be very small. These universes with very small differences in rules will form a section called a world group. The worlds in the world group are more likely to connect with each other, and it is also easier for large civilizations to emerge."

"At the edge of a world group, there are often areas with greatly different rules. These are natural barriers between world groups, and it is difficult for ordinary civilizations to cross them."

Having said this, the illusory Vic paused.

"Of course, the multiverse is not so monotonous, and some exceptions do exist."

"For example, there are regular wormholes in the multiverse. Regular wormholes have unstable rules. By leveraging the rules in regular wormholes, the two ends of the wormhole can be connected, making it easier for the worlds at both ends to communicate with each other."

"At the same time, there are some closely related different worlds, such as the twin world, the subsidiary world, etc. These will be described in other chapters."

"We know that the multiverse has a main timeline. In the main timeline, the lifespan of the multiverse is about 4.6 billion years. During this period, countless worlds were born and destroyed. The wizarding world was born when the multiverse was about 4 billion years old."

"The timeline of each world may be the same as the main timeline, or it may be slightly different from the main timeline. But no matter what, if the existence that controls the rules wants to absorb and utilize the power of the rules, etc., it will be based on the main timeline. Any speeding up or slowing down of the time of a single world will not affect the power of the rule-strong (that is, wizards above the formal level)."

"The main timeline of the multiverse is extremely difficult to manipulate, but the timeline of a single world is not the same. Powerful civilizations usually take precautions in these aspects to avoid being attacked by others through the power of time."

"World jump is a very difficult operation."

"If we abstract the distances between different worlds into a two-dimensional map, then increasing the difficulty of traveling between other worlds and a certain world can be regarded as raising that world from this two-dimensional map. This elevation will make communication and exchanges between different worlds more difficult, and will also make it more difficult for that world to absorb the free power of rules."

"When the world is almost isolated from the multiverse, the power of rules it absorbs is also negligible. At this time, it can be regarded as the world being erased from the two-dimensional map of the multiverse. Even the projection almost disappears. Therefore, as time goes by, the world will slowly die because it cannot obtain the support of the power of rules. Finally, it will completely collapse and return to the multiverse."

"However, if wormhole technology is used to link this world to a world that is still in the multiverse, then other worlds can only reach this world through the linked world. Therefore, it can be considered that this world has been moved to the location of the linked world."
