Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 528 Peak of Eighth Stage! Schrödinger's Dice!
Above the dimension, Fang Can sat cross-legged, like a god who held the universe in his hands since time immemorial!

At this moment, he saw countless stars reflected in his eyes, and he was about to transform this entire universe into his own body.

A shimmering light emanated from his body.

Each luminous particle resembles a twinkling star in the night sky.

Looking up at the starry sky, the myriad stars shining overhead all come from light-years away, from different galaxies that shone millions of years ago.

Each ray of starlight represents the past existence of a galaxy.

At this moment, every single particle of Fang Can's power far surpasses the stars above.

It is these billions of particles within his body that constitute Fang Can's true self, and next, he will break through to the sixth stage of transformation and taint the void.

Fang Can had known this for a long time.

Every martial artist who practices the Way of the Mind possesses a contagious meme.

Every flower and blade of grass touched by a martial artist will be imbued with the seed of idealism and will possess the aptitude for cultivation.

This phenomenon perfectly aligns with the meaning of the sixth stage of enlightenment.

If memes below level six are transmitted from person to person!

Reaching the sixth revolution at this moment means transforming oneself into a meme and planting it into the universe.

At that time, all the information of the true self will be written into every inch of space and time, and the heart of the self will replace the heart of heaven, and infinite power will be unleashed in every inch of space and time.

The entire cultivation process from the sixth to the seventh stage involves eroding and controlling everything in the connected universe within the dimensions of time and space.

Once the entire spacetime, dimension, and matter within the cave has been completely devoured, it signifies that the martial artist has officially entered the peak of the seventh level.

And at this moment, it is the key to ignite the Dao Fire and knock on the Sixth Heavenly Gate!
In an instant, the void beneath him, which had been relatively calm due to his presence, suddenly rippled outwards in circles of mysterious waves visible to the naked eye!
As the ripples passed, the spacetime structure groaned under the strain, and tiny cracks spread out like a spider web, only to be quickly smoothed out by an even greater force.

Tsk——

Fang Can was somewhat dissatisfied, gazing at the fine cracks that stretched across the Planck scale in the spacetime of this universe.

The most difficult thing for him to break through to the sixth level is to integrate his body into space-time.

Within this small space, Fang Can must contain all his power, his thoughts, and his insights...

When a person typically breaks through from the fifth to the sixth stage of a cosmic transformation, their physical strength is at most comparable to that of a black hole, which can be easily accommodated by a normal spacetime structure, at most feeling a little crowded.

But for Fang Can now, this step is like pressing the mass of a star onto thin tofu, while ensuring that it is not damaged.

Its difficulty is almost insurmountable.

We can only take it one step at a time.

Fang Can lowered his eyes, observing the space-time containing his physical body. His figure kept changing, gradually reducing the structure that contained it.

Fang Can had seen some classic scenes in some books when he was reading novels.

The world in which the protagonist lives is too primitive, and its spacetime structure is too fragile. If some high-level powerhouses enter this fragile world, it could very well lead to the destruction of the universe.

Fang Can is now facing such a problem.

Its size is so enormous that its mass is far greater than the total mass of some small universes.

How many steps would it take to fit a universe into a refrigerator in this situation?
In the next instant, every particle within Fang Can's body burst into a raging inferno of four-colored flames.

Each of these flames represents a different original sin he has overcome: the golden flame of pride, the dark light of greed, the crimson flame of rage, and the ashen breath of sloth!

These four colors of sinful fire intertwined, entangled, clashed, and merged, forming a magnificent yet terrifying "Chaotic Lotus Platform" around Fang Can's body, which was tens of thousands of miles in diameter and constantly collapsed and expanded!
The lotus platform, with Fang Can at its core, was burning fiercely.

Each lick of the flames brought excruciating pain that penetrated deep into the soul, continuously reducing and compressing Fang Can's physical body.

The intense pain didn't make Fang Can frown, but the current situation dissatisfied him:

'Not enough... the loss of quality isn't even as much as my gains per second!'

Frustrated by his inability to advance to the sixth level due to his overwhelming power, Fang Can had no choice but to change his approach and start working on his physical structure.

Although he nominally maintains a human form at this moment, the internal structure of his body is already a different species from that of humans.

The next instant, Fang Can's body began to show signs of dissolving under the heat.

Flesh, bones, and meridians no longer maintain the original human form.

It was as if it had been shattered and melted by an invisible force, and then transformed into a terrifying torrent of energy comparable to the Big Bang.

At this moment, Fang Can shed his flesh and blood body and transformed into a being of pure energy.

Its entire body shone brightly in this high-dimensional spacetime, constantly radiating light that was billions of times brighter than a star.

But this is not Fang Can's final form.

Om-! ! !
After transforming his flesh and blood into energy, Fang Can proactively launched a dimensional reduction attack on himself.

The pure energy of three-dimensional spacetime began to compress, and he gradually squeezed his body into a two-dimensional surface of light.

The moment the compression was complete, Fang Can transformed into a massive two-dimensional painting encompassing trillions of light-years with no thickness, a result of the volume being flattened, leading to a crazy increase in area.

The next instant, his outstretched body began to shrink frantically, the blinding light disappeared, and in its place appeared numbers that kept jumping on the painting.

01010100101010101001010100101...

Yes, Fang Can found the two-dimensional form too cumbersome, so he transformed his body into a pure information state, describing his body posture in binary within a two-dimensional spacetime.

In scientific theory, there is a "Bekenstein upper limit".

This refers to the maximum upper limit of information storage within a finite space using finite energy.

The maximum information carrying capacity within this unit space is 2.58 × 10^43 Rm, which is almost the limit of what information can be carried.

Unfortunately, even with the advent of information technology, Fang Can's current performance is still far greater than that upper limit by more than ten orders of magnitude.

However, he can also compress information, that is, use a few simple characters to describe massive numbers.

For example, 0000000000 can be written as nine zeros [90] to reduce the amount of information in the file.

Click click click click——

After continuously and frantically compressing his own information, Fang Can felt his body gradually embedding itself into the space.

After about half an hour, he finally managed to completely implant his body into this space-time after exhausting all means.

'This is so troublesome.'

Fang Can, now in the information age, emitted a wave of consciousness as he watched his binary body completely merge with spacetime.

In the instant that his body and time and space completely merged, Fang Can could feel that everything in this time and space was united as one.

He copied and duplicated all his information.

This originally desolate space began to erupt with terrifying power under the nurturing of his strength, and Fang Can felt that this space was an extension of his body.

This was like planting the first flag on a new, unclaimed continent, officially marking Fang Can's entry into the sixth level of the realm.

This 0.07 cubic meter space allowed Fang Can's power to double in a short period of time.

Although at the current level, the power has only doubled and is not worth making a big deal out of, it represents the infinite possibilities of the sixth level.

The next instant, his body began to reshape itself.

Upon reaching the sixth revolution, the previously compressed body begins to decompress and reconstruct.

Muscles, tendons, bones... the power of the stars flowed within every inch of him, and he could feel this space supporting his own power. Without any deliberate effort, with a slight thought, all the energy, matter, and even concepts within this vast space were at his command.

Finally...it's done.

Fang Can slowly opened his eyes, his red pupils radiating a divine light, like two stars.

He gently clenched his fist, and the surrounding starlight instantly dimmed, as if all the light had been swallowed up in his palm.

The old shell has completely shed, and a new life form has been forged.

Even after his physical body was rebuilt, his white hair remained as white as snow, and his red eyes became even deeper and more profound. With every gesture, the small space he controlled seemed to be cheering for him, as if welcoming a new king.

'Now, let's begin endless expansion!'

The moment Fang Can had that thought, the entire multiverse fused together trembled violently!
Om-! ! !
The divine thought transformed into billions of invisible roots, centered on Fang Can, and pierced the entire universe billions of times faster than light, launching an unprecedented expansion.

1 light-years↑

10 light-years↑

100 light-years↑

1000 light-years↑

……

The boundaries of space are expanding outward at an unprecedented rate, and Fang Can's power is also increasing in tandem.

Not enough! Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!

Fang Can felt the rate at which his power was increasing.

Compared to the additive increase at the fifth rank, Fang Can's increase after reaching the sixth rank is multiplicative, with his strength increasing by almost 10, 100, 1000... every second.

This increase in power was unprecedented at the sixth level, astonishing at the seventh level, but at the eighth level, which Fang Can was benchmarking against, this increase in power was somewhat insignificant.

Fang Can, who had just spoken with Ji Ran, learned that those eighth-level transformations all increased their power according to exponents, factorials, Knuth's arrows, and Graham's numbers.

To endlessly improve within a finite set of values.

My current level of multiplication knowledge is so high that I'm not even worthy of sitting at the same table as someone with eight-fold multiplication skills.

No problem, Fang Can had a contingency plan and a solution.

Fang Can felt his power increasing; he was about to begin constructing his 6th Transformation Inheritance!

When he reached the fifth rank, he did not choose to change his inheritance and continued to increase his attribute points on the "Six Arts of a Gentleman".

At this moment, after witnessing Ji Ran's inheritance that allowed him to improve his cultivation level through authentication, Fang Can had a new idea.

Fang Can closed his eyes slightly, allowing the spiritual light he had gained after advancing to the 6th rank to shape him.

As a massive amount of spiritual light coalesced, a new inheritance began to be embedded within Fang Can's body.

The so-called inheritance is essentially the ability obtained through wishing, similar to taking out a loan to become stronger. As long as a certain amount of collateral is paid, one can obtain great power.

Since he's taking out a loan anyway, why doesn't he borrow more?
Therefore, Fang Can chose to learn from his predecessors in large and special loans!

Ji Ran's loan method involves increasing his loan amount through each verification process. If a verification fails, he dies, using his life as collateral to increase his loan amount.

Fang Can felt that this was too conservative.

He decided to gamble with even more extreme methods, which he called "Schrödinger's Dice"!
[Six Turns - Schrödinger's Dice]: The Luck Dice is rolled once per second, and the total number of points on the Luck Dice is X+5 (X is the number rolled).

When the number of throws is 1, Fang Can's power will expand once.

If the number thrown is not 1, Fang Can dies.

……

This constructed inheritance is passive.

The moment this inheritance was established, Fang Can could feel an invisible die forming above his head.

The die has only 6 sides and is entirely golden in color.

The other five sides of the die are marked with 2 to 6 in black ink, the only difference being the 1 side, which is bright vermilion.

The moment the dice are produced, they jump and spin up and down on top of your head, and after a burst of excitement, they gradually calm down.

As the inheritance states, once this inheritance is transferred to another number, Fang Can will immediately die, his cultivation will dissipate, and he will become a corpse like Ji Ran.

But it doesn't matter, Fang Can has the ability to turn adversity into fortune!
【From Adversity to Prosperity】: The worse the environment, the higher the hidden attributes, turning misfortune into good fortune!
If Fang Can is unlucky, he may be killed by the inheritance, but the closer he gets to death, the better his luck becomes.

In the clash between "turning bad luck into good luck" and "Schrödinger's dice", if turning bad luck into good luck fails to protect Fang Can, he will die instantly.

However, it's unlikely that the "after the worst comes the best" principle could not protect Fang Can.

【From Adversity to Prosperity】: Rolling dice? Interesting!
Almost instantly, Fang Can felt his luck begin to jump around along with the dice above his head.

A 1/6 chance of survival is neither high nor low.

The dice didn't bounce for long.

In less than a second, the die stopped bouncing and landed predictably on the 1 side.

The moment the luck dice stopped jumping, Fang Can felt his power, which had been multiplied, begin to rise wildly.

This is as if Fang Can used his life, comparable to an eighth-level cultivator, as leverage in a gamble to obtain a higher multiplier after winning.

10x → 100x → 100x...

10^2→10^3→10^5……

10^10^10→10^10^10^10→10^10^10^10^10……

In almost a second, Fang Can obtained the power that he would have needed trillions of years to accumulate through a gamble with his life.

But this is a losing proposition for any 8-turn player.

Since I am already immortal at the 8th level and there is no lifespan constraint, why should I gamble my life with you, when I can slowly develop the power that I can obtain over hundreds of millions of years, with only a 1/6 chance of survival?
Only Fang Can, who possesses the "turn of adversity into prosperity" ability, would be so crazy as to gamble his life on the inheritance.

As the dust settled on this bet, the luck dice above Fang Can's head increased from 6 to 7 sides and began to bounce up and down.

The chances of survival in this Russian roulette game are 1 in 7.

Unsurprisingly, with the jump, the die landed steadily on the crimson 1, representing good fortune.

Next is:
The probability of a third time is 1/8.

The probability of 1/9 for the fourth time

The probability of 1/10 on the fifth time

The probability of 1/11 on the sixth time

With each passing second, Fang Can could feel his power expanding wildly.

This is like mortgaging $10, $100, $1000, or $10000...

By relying on unlimited collateral, Fang Can's net worth continues to increase with an increasingly smaller probability, and he can then mortgage out even higher values.

Almost ten seconds later, Fang Can's power had risen to a level that even an ordinary eighth-level cultivator would find difficult to accumulate before their unexpected demise.

He now stands firmly at the peak of the eighth level!
