In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 515 Divine Might Space and Pure Land Space

"Then, how do I locate the other end of the bridge in this other dimension?"

Shimizu asked Boros.

"To put it simply, do you know the concept of topology? When we use space teleportation, it's a manifestation of topologicalizing space within the four-dimensional spacetime we live in. And when we extend it to higher dimensions, let me think, if we want to explain it scientifically, it's probably something like... uh, something about turning strings into membranes or something?"

Explosion scratched his head, trying to come up with a suitable explanation, but due to a slight lack of scientific literacy, although he understood the theory and process, he was unable to express it clearly.

Fortunately, Shimizu has sufficient scientific literacy and understands space.

"Quantum field theory with topological invariants".

Shimizu watched the blasting.

Explosion's expression froze for a moment: "Huh?"

In order to better master his spatial abilities and make them more systematic, he also learned some related scientific knowledge, but these were all relatively easy-to-understand basic concepts and not very in-depth.

He is the number one ranked hero in the S-class, has been engaged in hero activities for more than twenty years, and has to spend a lot of energy fighting against gods, rather than being a scholar who has undergone long-term professional study and scientific research.

But now it seems...

Does this person in front of me seem to know what's going on?

Shimizu explained:
"This is a metric used to summarize certain related functions that do not depend on the background spatiotemporal manifold. It can be applied to the topology of high-dimensional spaces to achieve higher-dimensional topological excitations."

As is well known, string-net liquids represent a universal theory of topological order. In five-dimensional space, the strings are elevated to the membrane dimension, but their excited states can still be calculated using mathematical tools.

Blast scratched his head.

Is it common knowledge?
Why didn't he know?
Opening this portal is simply a matter of using your spatial abilities—first this, then that, and finally this—isn't that enough?
My scalp feels so itchy, I think I need to grow a brain.

Judging from the way the explosion was performed, Shimizu knew that he probably didn't know much about the science behind it.

Just as the ancients could summarize many natural laws for application, they did not have a systematic method to study and explain the underlying principles.

However, in the eyes of modern people who have mastered scientific methods and have a certain amount of scientific knowledge, most of these natural laws can be explained by scientific methods.

After Shimizu learned these things from the explosion, he could use his scientific knowledge to better understand, learn, and utilize them.

Of course, the fact that Blast doesn't understand these things doesn't mean that his foundation in the field of space is weak. It's just that the two of them have different systems for deconstructing and manipulating space because of their own cognition and way of thinking.

One is the practical, experience-based school, and the other is the theoretical, academic school. There is no superior or inferior one; their potential is actually limitless.

The former is easier to learn and apply from talented people, while the latter has a more stable lower limit.

"Simply put, it means using mathematical tools and physical models to calculate the excited state of five-dimensional spacetime in the real dimension. In layman's terms, it means finding the part that overlaps between the real world and higher-dimensional space, which is a membrane composed of countless strings."

This membrane is the boundary of real space. It's not a membrane in the absolute physical sense, but rather omnipresent, hidden within every inch of space. By allowing the bridge to cross this boundary, we can travel to another dimension.

"That's right, the actual operation process can indeed be described in such an abstract way."

Bombing nodded, then took out an exquisitely designed white metal sphere that shone with a faint light and handed it to Shimizu.

"The other dimension is vast and boundless, but we emerged from this world, so our location won't be too far away. This phase sphere stores the location of one of our team's bases in the other dimension. By the way, with your physical abilities, you should be able to survive in an oxygen-free vacuum environment, right?"

"no problem."

Shimizu took the white metal ball and aimed it at the blasting tunnel.

Once one's own energy level reaches a certain point, as long as one can achieve self-circulation of energy within the body, similar to practicing Qigong, one will have the ability to survive in an oxygen-free vacuum environment.

Not to mention that Shimizu's Black Warrior armor has a life support system, and Shimizu can also activate the third level of Reverse Life, turning himself into an energy life form, so he doesn't need to breathe at all.

"Then let's give it a try. I'll go over and wait for you."

Blast opened his hand, creating a portal in front of him. He stepped inside and disappeared.

Shimizu stood there for a moment, thinking, and then reached out his hand forward.

"Buzz!"

A portal, shrouded in mystery, opened before us.

Shimizu smiled slightly and followed him inside.

It worked!
……

……

"Success!"

Naruto World.

Qingshui stood in a void, looking at the vast, translucent membrane before him that seemed to contain almost everything.

This is another dimension, but it's an alternate dimension within the Naruto world.

The infinitely large, semi-transparent membrane in front of us is the overlapping part that separates the real world from higher dimensions.

It looks like a membrane, enveloping the entire world.

It's like the intersection of a surface and a line.

They are either parallel and do not intersect, or they overlap and the line is part of the surface, but these are only a very few cases, with a probability close to zero.

Most of the time, the intersection of a line and a surface is a point.

That is, the boundary between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space is one-dimensional.

The real world has the passage of time and is a four-dimensional world. The boundary between the four-dimensional world and the higher five-dimensional space is three-dimensional.

In other words, this membrane is not a simple two-dimensional plane in concept, but a three-dimensional physical object.

Theoretically speaking, this membrane is as big as the world, almost infinite.

Even with clear water, you can't see the end at a glance.

This is a difference in dimensionality.

One-dimensional beings may be able to see lines, glimpse surfaces, and even higher-dimensional solids, because they inherently have overlapping parts, but they absolutely cannot see the entire surface or the entire three-dimensional object. The difference between these two is greater than a fish trying to measure the ocean with its eyes.

Unless pure water can also elevate itself to a higher dimension, becoming a five-dimensional being like a god in a multiverse, thus making itself an existence equal to this entire world.

"It seems my guess was right. Kamui Space, Shiki Sphere Space, Daikokuten, and Amenominaka are actually separate spaces that are semi-independent of the Naruto world."

Shimizu's gaze fell on the tiny bubbles protruding from the membrane, her eyes scrutinizing him.

These tiny bubbles are alternate dimensions that exist within the entire Naruto world. Because the Naruto world is a complete world with immense mass, these minuscule alternate dimensions are captured by its gravity and attached to the Naruto world.

Of course, although it's described as small, the actual space is quite large. Shall we go in and take a look?

A thought flashed through Shimizu's mind, and then he created two shadow clones.

The two shadow clones exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously reached out and opened a portal in front of them.

"It seems that without coordinates, forcibly breaking through the boundary membrane and locating the space within the boundary would consume a lot of energy, and this is not even a real world, but just two different spaces."

However, if we can leave definite coordinates within the boundary, we should be able to significantly reduce energy consumption. It's like having a key. My current actions are like banging on the door and forcing our way in... no, it should be called picking the lock.

As Qing Shui's thoughts churned, his two shadow clones, having already consumed a large amount of energy, entered the space.

"here it is……"

The shadow clone stepped out of the portal, and the first thing it saw was a large expanse of messy yet square stones.

The sky was dim, but it seemed to be emitting a little light thanks to the energy inherent in the alternate dimension itself.

The entire space contained nothing but stones.

However, the area is indeed quite large, and it should be able to store a lot of things.

"Could this be the Divine Might Space?"

Shimizu silently surveyed her surroundings, then flew into the sky, fully unleashing her senses to observe the entire space.

They look quite similar.

It could be used as a temporary storage space.

However, apart from that, it seems to have no other use, not to mention whether there might be any living beings in it.

However, the conditions for life are very demanding, and Shimizu does not believe that life can exist in such a space.

"I don't know where the other shadow clone went."

Shimizu silently raised her head, reopened the portal, and stepped out.

With the barrier of the boundary membrane, if the shadow clone dissolves right here, it will most likely be unable to return to the original body.

the other side.

The second shadow clone entered the largest alternate dimension within Shimizu's field of vision.

To Shimizu's surprise, there were almost no physical objects here, and the gravity was extremely low.

Apart from a few floating stones in mid-air, there were only silent orbs of light, though a very few of them occasionally emitted fluctuations of thought.

Through the sphere of light, one can vaguely see transparent human figures with their eyes tightly closed.

"These are... souls! And they are all souls of extremely high quality, nurtured by the chakra contained within these orbs of light."

Shimizu slightly narrowed her eyes, gazing at the boundless space.

At a glance, there were already several thousand souls in front of him, and even more in the distance.

The strength of their souls varies, but they are generally far beyond that of ordinary people, and there are even a very few exceptionally strong ones.

Without a doubt, these people were all ninjas in life, and their souls were sealed here after death.

High in the sky, new orbs of light, each enveloping a soul, would occasionally fall.

"I'm afraid this is the legendary Pure Land. I wonder if my arrival will attract the attention of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki."

Shimizu became more vigilant and continued traversing this boundless space, while trying her best to extend her senses and explore her surroundings, including the orbs of light.

He didn't recognize any of the souls here, but he could tell from the clothing that these souls were at least several hundred years old. Some of the souls even had the clan crests of the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, and Hyuga ninja clans on their clothes.

Shimizu continued to ascend, looking up at the newly added orbs of light in the sky.

Unsurprisingly, many of these are likely ninjas who died in the ongoing Fourth Shinobi World War.

After searching for a while, Qing Shui also found the soul of the loess.

This is sufficient to prove the view that this place is a Pure Land.

Moreover, a new discovery was made in Shimizu here.

A colossal being with two horns on its head, dressed in rags, and with a ferocious appearance flew high in the sky, constantly splitting into countless clones that traversed space and passed through the boundary membrane in a bizarre way.

This boundary membrane was riddled with holes, as if it had been modified by some powerful being. It directly connected to the boundary membrane of the Naruto world on a spatial level, allowing the soul to easily travel between the two worlds.

The thing above must be the Grim Reaper, capable of creating clones to travel to the ninja world and collect the souls of the dead.

Besides the Grim Reaper, Shimizu also encountered another specialty of the Pure Land.

Yama.

That creature that looks like a gate to hell, but there are many of them here, and none of them have the Rinnegan.

From Shimizu's perspective, it's easy to see that these Yama Kings are just beings with simple, fixed programs, puppets that are vastly different from the mainstream of the ninja world, and can be manipulated by some kind of high-level energy.

That must be the power of the Rinnegan.

The Grim Reaper doesn't seem like a normal creature either. Although it seems to have some self-awareness, it's quite stupid. It was probably created by the Sage of Six Paths using Yin-Yang Release.

They might not even have used Yang Release, because Shinigami are purely spiritual beings without physical bodies.

"It seems like even if I know this is the ninja world, it won't be of much use. But that's not necessarily true. Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru can easily retrieve souls here for the Impure World Reincarnation, and the Six Paths Elder doesn't cause any trouble. As long as I don't use up too many souls at once, I should be fine."

Just as Shimizu was pondering what effect the Pure Land would have on her, the space in front of her suddenly distorted.

From the pitch-black portal, the figure of an old man appeared, wearing a white robe adorned with magatama, with horns on his head and a Seeking the Way Jewel floating on his back.

What is most striking is his red nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan between his eyebrows, and his pair of deep and mysterious Rinnegan.

"The Sage of Six Paths..."

Shimizu whispered the identity of the visitor.

"It seems you recognize me. Indeed, I am the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki. I never imagined that a thousand years later, a descendant would be able to send an avatar to the Pure Land and awaken me."

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Shimizu and spoke.

"Awake? It seems that Senior Yuyi has already refined this alternate dimension into your own. My entry was too rough, which is why it attracted attention?"
