Eternal Night

Chapter 608 Absolute Spacetime Concept and the Truth of Death
Wang Yihui...

The friends Wu Pifu met during the battle of redemption.

At first, he treated him as just an ordinary passerby, but as they fought side by side and got to know each other better, he had become a close and familiar partner, especially when Chu Minghao rescued him, he relied heavily on Chu Minghao's wisdom.

He is a good person, a person who is persistent, intelligent, and knows when to use his intelligence and persistence.

Unexpectedly... this last pillar turned out to be him.

In a Level 7 shelter.

As soon as Wang Yihui entered, a black aura emanated from his body. This black aura was extremely terrifying, and even in the Level 7 Shelter, it vaguely showed a terrifying and distorted form, like a monster or a skeleton. However, it immediately began to dissipate as soon as it left Wang Yihui's body.

However, he seemed different from others, as the black aura around him was continuous and had not stopped even after more than ten minutes of entering.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Wu." Wang Yihui sat next to Wu Pifu and spoke with a stiff smile.

Wu Pifu watched silently, then shook his head and said, "No, it's not laughable. These are your scars and medals, what's there to laugh about?"

Wang Yihui's face remained stiff as he sat silently.

In fact, the two of them had so much to say to each other and so many questions to ask each other, but Wu Pifu had very limited information, so they couldn't even speak to each other at all.

Behind the two, because Wang Yihui personally arrived and confirmed the authenticity of Wu Pifu, the two forces actually put aside their past grievances and their researchers and scientists began to loudly discuss which information was more important, the time reversal, and the other.

"So far, there has only been one recorded instance of a user returning from a time rewind, which was the Level 7 Shelter time rewind attempt made by Human President Chu Minghao. Unfortunately, he failed, and he explicitly told us that unless he obtained the key item, it was an almost impossible attempt to succeed. He only managed to escape by paying a huge price."

This was the sentence that many researchers and scientists discussed the most. At this moment, Wang Yihui spoke up to Wu Pifu and said, "Brother Wu, I have some questions. I don't need detailed explanations, just confirmation of yes or no is enough."

Wu Pifu nodded naturally, and Wang Yihui asked, "Did you obtain the key item for time reversal?"

Wu Pifu naturally nodded.

Absolute Spacetime Anchoring Protocol... If Chu Minghao really did attempt time reversal, but failed because he lacked this, then it's clear that this thing is indeed as extremely precious as the mainframe described.

Wang Yihui's expression relaxed. He thought for a moment and said, "I have also read some of the information left by the President about time travel. The most important part is the determination of time and space nodes. Based on this information, we created the absolute time and space view model and the relative time and space view model. The latter was identified as a dream world trap and belongs to the authority of the 'dream', the root of the Zero Point One Dream World. Therefore, it was discarded. Only the absolute time and space view model is still under research."

At this point, many scientists and researchers confirmed that Wu Pifu had "key items," and they all became excited and began to discuss other information. Meanwhile, Wang Yihui explained the information about time travel to Wu Pifu.

“Brother Wu, when talking about the absolute spacetime model, we have to talk about the issue of positioning.”

While pondering and considering, Wang Yihui explained in words that Wu Pifu could understand: "Take simple spatial distance, two-dimensional space, that is, the plane world, to determine a specific location, we need two coordinate numbers, while three-dimensional space requires three coordinate numbers. This is actually the essence of dimension. Two dimensions are XY, and three dimensions are XYZ. Brother Wu should understand this, right?"

“Length, width, and height? I know that,” Wu Pifu said.

Wang Yihui gave a stiff smile, lowering his head to hide his unnatural, stiff expression, as if he were no longer used to smiling.

"An absolute spacetime concept generally requires three to five coordinate systems. The three coordinate systems are usually the past, present, and future, while the five coordinate systems include causality and logical paradoxes. These three to five coordinate systems do not exist independently, but rather in combination. That is, a coordinate system may simultaneously contain past causality, present logical paradoxes, and the future, or vice versa. Therefore, according to the information left by the President, the absolute spacetime concept we have established is three to five coordinate systems, possibly three, possibly four, possibly five."

Wu Pifu nodded again. This information was the same as the number of spacetime nodes that the main brain had told him, except that the main brain had not told him in such detail.

Wang Yihui said again, "Brother Wu is not yet an ascended being, so he can only have penetrated through the absolute spacetime concept of the main brain. Therefore, this directly negates the trap of the relative spacetime concept. In other words... the timeline I am in is a parallel timeline, a secondary timeline, or a pseudo timeline relative to Brother Wu."

Wu Pifu was stunned. He immediately asked, "Wait a minute, weren't we discussing the concept of absolute space and time?"

"Correct."

Wang Yihui forced a smile and said, "But we are not the absolute 'past' you want to revisit. We are just one of the coordinates of your observation angle. You must confirm three to five coordinates before you can confirm the absolute spacetime node you want to revisit. These three to five coordinate nodes become secondary spacetime. At the moment you reach the end point, these coordinate spacetimes do not exist, or are one of the possible futures. But because you have arrived and know, there will be a butterfly effect-level change. So, in fact, we no longer exist for you."

Wu Pifu paused for a moment, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Then you..."

"do not know."

Wang Yihui lowered his head and said, "No one knows, because the past and future have already been changed the moment it was confirmed, so it cannot become a node in the absolute spacetime concept. Perhaps our world will continue to develop according to the parallel spacetime theory, or perhaps our spacetime will be annihilated. The best outcome is naturally to reshape it, and we will all return to the spacetime node you want to change, but..." "But your memories, your experiences, and the people newly born in your era will all cease to exist, right?" Wu Pifu said in a deep voice.

Wang Yihui once again put on that stiff smile and said, "But it's not a pity at all."

Wu Pifu looked at the rest of the people. Apart from a few, most of them had a kind of numbness on their faces.

Wang Yihui continued, bowing his head, "Because... this timeline is rotten to the core, and I am powerless to support it. They have all reached a dead end, we all know that, but we just refuse to admit it."

Wu Pifu was filled with resentment. He didn't say anything, but his temples throbbed.

Wang Yihui shook his head and said, "Brother Wu, don't overthink it or be sad, otherwise it might lead to... the appearance of 'the wheel'."

Wu Pifu frowned and asked, "Wheel? What do you mean?"

Wang Yihui shook his head again.

At this point, scientists and scholars from both camps discussed the first issue, which they believed was the most important information that Wu Pifu should know and that would change the past.

"The truth behind the death!!"

Almost all the scientists and scholars uttered those four words in unison, and Wang Yihui's face showed a knowing expression.

"Indeed, the truth about death, and the predetermined death that comes with it, is the most, most, most important turning point. The death of the mastermind has shattered all our hopes, and its severity even surpasses that of the death of the Grand President..."

Wang Yihui agreed with everyone's decision, and then he looked at Wu Pifu and said, "Brother Wu, I will tell you the truth about the death and the destined death in as brief and detailed a way as possible. First, let me explain the reason... The mastermind died by the destined death, which made it extremely difficult for us to penetrate the dream world. At the same time, we can no longer establish new shelters, and the old shelters are gradually disappearing. So this is the key to the key."

Wu Pifu nodded silently. Wang Yihui took a deep breath before saying, "The so-called truth about death is that after President Chu Minghao's death, Mr. Liang Min's reincarnation was betrayed, thus falling into a state of being both dead and not dead. At the same time, in order to deal with the impending arrival of the final destroyer, we had to rely on the power of the source of death to try to kill it, but this was all a conspiracy from beginning to end..."

Everything in front of Wu Pifu began to twist and turn, and everyone around him seemed to be in a dreamlike state.

Wang Yihui also noticed Wu Pifu's slightly furrowed brows, and he immediately stopped talking to think carefully.

"It seems... I can't tell Angkor the whole truth about the death and the predetermined death. Indeed, the cause and effect involved in this information are too huge."

Wang Yihui thought for a moment, then said to everyone, "Everyone must leave the shelter immediately. No one is allowed to enter without orders, unless... any of you want to know the truth about the deaths."

Everyone's face turned pale instantly, and they all immediately walked out of the shelter, but a few people looked at Wang Yihui with worry.

Wang Yihui shook his head slightly at them, and they all left. Then Wang Yihui said to Wu Pifu, "Brother Wu, you can see it too. The pollution on my body is endless. It's only because I am a sublimated body. The reason is... I actually already know the truth about death."

Wu Pifu didn't speak, but looked at Wang Yihui.

Wang Yihui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it's Brother Wu, then there's definitely no problem... I'm really looking forward to you, President, Mr. Liang Min, smashing this."

"...The so-called truth about death refers to the root nature of death in the Zero Dream world, as well as the truth about the afterlife."

"Death is actually a gradual process of self-observation and cognitive positioning. If you don't know the truth about death, you will fall into a state similar to a deep sleep, except that this process is permanent. But once you know the truth, or your deep sleep is awakened, for example... a death call, a death return, then you will gradually begin to understand the truth about death."

"Your initial observation of yourself was that of a strong observer and a strong cognizer, that is, the simplest 'I think, therefore I am.' But the truth after death is complete stagnation, that is, your strong observation and strong cognition will drive the revival of your personal consciousness, and in that... there is nothing, utter nothingness!"

"Familiar, isn't it? The original cryogenic freezing device was just like that. But the original cryogenic freezing device would cause personality breakdown and the Zerg, in order to escape this eternal nothingness. But the truth of death will not! All the strong self-observation and strong self-cognition bring about a terrifying and unimaginable mechanism of pain, an accumulation of pain that cannot be reversed and iterated!"

"Then strong observation and strong cognition will turn into weak observation and weak cognition over time, but you still exist, still live, eternally, silently, utterly nothingness, dispersed to an unimaginable degree of thinness, covering an area large enough to fill a galaxy, but you still live, always live..."

At this point, Wang Yihui suddenly gasped for breath. He looked at Wu Pifu with an expression that was unfamiliar to Wu Pifu and sent chills down his spine, and said, "Brother Wu, besides absolute time reversal, we have also found dozens of ways to resurrect the dead, dozens of ways! However, we dare not resurrect any more dead, including the President who is so important to us, Mr. Liang Min, or anyone else, including you, for the reason that..."

"That resurrected thing..."

"More terrifying than sources of 0.2 or higher!"
