Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 227 Transcendent Life Form: Time Traveler

Transcendental sensory experience.

In addition to having a sense of space and time in the positive direction, one must also have a sense of space and time in the negative direction.

So how can one develop a sense of spacetime in the negative direction?

The answer is virtual particles.

One must possess a thought organ constructed from virtual particles to have a spacetime sense in the negative direction.

But how do we obtain virtual particles?
The answer is Genzi Field.

As a vacuum field, the quantum field is generated by virtual particles when quantum fluctuations occur.

However, such virtual particles are difficult to capture.

Moreover, if these virtual particles are given enough energy, they will become real particles.

Therefore, only extremely specialized techniques are required to truly extract the essence.

Even at the Nascent Soul stage, Fang Jun didn't understand this technology.

Because it is a technology.

Rather than an ability that a Nascent Soul should possess.

Just like a baby, who can eat, sleep, and excrete, but no one teaches him to speak, he will not be able to speak when he grows up.

But in the clash between Fang Jun and the Nascent Soul...

Or as the Eight Great Celestial Venerables said.

Thanks to Mo Yiyi's protection, Fang Jun made rapid progress in understanding the key aspects of this technology.

That is the ion field.

Virtual is not negative, therefore it cannot be obtained by simply inverting other fields.

Additional conditions are required to stimulate it.

And this excited field is the ion field.

It is also because of the ion field that the ion field has the potential to stimulate vacuum fluctuations and generate virtual particles.

However, there is one problem: exciting an ion field is extremely difficult.

To be precise, it is extremely difficult to obtain the excitation of virtual particles that can be directly used by humans.

It requires an extremely high quantity of matter within a certain area.

The higher the amount of matter in a region, the easier it is to obtain virtual particles.

The minimum requirement is exactly the mass of 1000 suns.

That is, the quality of the Immortal Ruins world.

If it weren't for the Immortal Ruins world, obtaining virtual particles in other regions of the universe would not be so simple.

Because it is in a planetary system.

Stars make up more than 99% of the mass.

According to the Eddington limit, a star cannot have a mass exceeding 300 times that of the Sun.

If it exceeds this limit, the star will tear apart.

It disintegrated on its own.

In other words, for other civilizations to successfully acquire virtual particles, they would need to move stars in the universe and create a world with sufficiently high matter mass.

Don't think about black holes.

There is enough mass in the black holes in the universe.

The problem is that black holes cannot safely enter or exit without mastering virtual particles.

Therefore, it is impossible to obtain virtual particles inside a black hole.

To achieve a civilization capable of altering history, one must consider the universe and nature.

However, this is extremely difficult.

Let's set aside the time required for the virtual particle acquisition technique.

The distance between planetary systems is measured in light-years.

Before the advent of virtual particles, this universe did not allow any object to travel faster than the speed of light.

In order to move a star to another star system without losing its mass, it would take at least several thousand years.

However, it's important to know that the average stellar mass of the vast majority of stars in the universe is only 0.2 to 0.5 times that of the Sun.

To make things easier, you must head to the center of the river system.

That's where the density of matter is highest.

However, most civilizations are located on the edge of the galaxy, and it would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to reach the center of the galaxy.

In short, to complete the preliminary work...

Without considering technical bottlenecks.

Even the simplest scenario would take tens of thousands of years.

These limitations do not exist in the Immortal Ruins world, which is a world that can naturally extract virtual particles.

It is a uniquely blessed world created by immortals.

It is a world that most civilizations in the universe dream of.

Even someone as weak as Fang Jun.

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage and mastering the technology, one is able to collect enough virtual particles to construct one's own negative spacetime senses.

"It's a very strange feeling. The current virtual particles are being built according to my real particle model, and the resulting feeling is very strange."

Actually, it's quite easy to understand using objective mathematical methods.

But it's very strange to understand it subjectively.

In my subjective view, everything in this world is contrary to cause and effect.

It's not that flowers bloom and then bear fruit, but rather that fruit comes first and then flowers.

It's not that the first person dies before the second, but rather that the first person dies before the second is born.

Everything was upside down, even Fang Jun's way of thinking was upside down, flowing in the opposite direction of cause and effect, and in the direction of the energy order. As a result, the first sense carrying Fang Jun's way of thinking in the negative spacetime was shattered.

However, after collecting the data, Fang Jun quickly built a second sensory system for negative spacetime.

This shouldn't have been an easy thing to do.

It might take several years to develop a different Nascent Soul.

But Fang Jun still succeeded very quickly.

Now, Fang Jun can truly rise above the current by relying on his thinking.

"In fact, I can now be called a virtual particle life form, that is, a life form in reverse time."

"However, like real particles, virtual particles also require energy to exist."

"And this energy is provided by other particles."

"Virtual particles require the energy of virtual particles."

"Therefore, the number of virtual particles that I can become as virtual particle life forms is limited by my ability to travel backward in time."

It should be noted that this does not take into account the total mass possessed by the Nascent Soul.

The number of virtual particles required to construct a complete thought model is not small.

To be honest, the current reverse-timeline thinking model is still a simplified version. It can be said that it cannot fully represent Fang Jun.

In fact, when Fang Jun constructed the reverse time-space mindset, his self can be said to have undergone another evolution.

It is no less than the intellectual sublimation of achieving the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, although the reverse time-space thinking mode is very simple, it is also very important.

"If I were merely a virtual particle life form, I would be completely unable to interfere with the world of real particles."

Just like the virtual particle changes in vacuum fluctuations.

Virtual particles have a limited impact on the world of real particles.

To truly interfere with real particles in the form of virtual particle life, the virtual particle's life form must reach the nascent soul stage of the real particle.

The problem is, Fang Jun doesn't have that many virtual particles.

There are no other Nascent Soul cultivators among the Eight Great Celestial Venerables.

Simply put, Fang Jun now has two life forms: a mortal being of virtual particles and a nascent soul being of real particles.

Even though virtual particles are mortals, because time is reversed, no matter how slow a mortal's thinking speed is, it will not affect the battle in forward time.

However, due to the limitations of the cosmic environment.

Virtual particles are scarce.

Fang Jun, a mortal being of virtual particle form, faces difficulties in cultivation, and his lifespan is also limited.

Lifespan is no more than sixty years.

Moreover, it's a form of thinking that goes against time and space.

One thing to note here.

If Fang Jun were a mere virtual particle life form, he could only travel against time.

Just like ordinary people living in the current time, they follow the current time.

At most, one could say they possess a sense of time travel.

They are no different from ordinary people with positive spacetime senses.

That is, lives that exist in different directions of time.

Only by possessing both senses simultaneously, moving towards both positive and negative, can the resulting contradictory thinking transcend time and space.

To be precise, time is the axis.

At a certain point on the axis.

A creature moves forward and simultaneously moves backward. The result, of course, is not that it remains stationary.

Rather, it is both before and after.

This is true every moment of this period.

That is, it receives information from both the past and the future at every moment.

Thus, life is created on the timeline.

Of course, even so.

Information exchange is not unlimited.

The ability for Fang Jun from the future to transmit information to Fang Jun from the past is limited by the number of virtual particles.

The transmission of information about past changes from the past to the future Fang Jun is also limited by the number of virtual particles.

Simply put, it's a pool that's big at one end and small at the other.

There is a thin water pipe in the middle made of virtual particles, which cannot transmit information indefinitely.

Thus, due to the limited information, the Nascent Soul's ability to select from history is also limited.

It cannot be infinite.

Therefore, An Lingcai said that virtual particles are "the source of discord and conflict, the origin of contradictions and contradictions. They are also the key to the beginning and the profound explanation of the end. They are the manifestation of the Great Dao and the balance of destiny."

Because it is truly precious.

This determines a Nascent Soul's ability to alter history.

Fang Jun's life form has completely transformed into a trans-temporal life moment.

Because it allows us to observe changes in space and time at all times.

This allows one to perceive the changes in history.

Then, Fang Jun witnessed the most spectacular moment in the universe.

"Indeed! The history of this universe is constantly changing!"

Fang Jun's battle with the Nascent Soul had long since broken through the Heavenly Gang Qi layer, directly facing the starlight from a distant point in the vast universe.

And the starlight was constantly changing.

It dimmed a bit, then brightened a bit.

The position has shifted slightly.

And so on.

The distant signals from the cosmos are constantly changing.

These changes are actually very subtle; if they were to be transformed into technology from a previous life, they would certainly be difficult to distinguish.

But for Fang Jun, who was at the Nascent Soul level...

However, it is capable of being analyzed.

And the result was exactly as Fang Jun had predicted.

Advanced civilizations in the universe are arbitrarily altering the history of the universe, controlling its direction, and making it advance according to their desired course.

And in relation to the changes of the stars in the heavens.

The number of them is huge.

The sheer volume of information.

This far surpasses the historical revisions made by current Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, Fang Jun discovered that as a being beyond time and space, he possessed infinite time for contemplation as he wandered back and forth between time and space.

Even if the amount of information transmitted is limited.

However, the transmitted information can be modified and preserved for the future.

For example, recording it on an object.

In other words, if a Nascent Soul can acquire a certain knowledge over time, then they will inevitably acquire it.

Conversely, if he cannot obtain this nascent soul, he will never be able to obtain it.

Once they can reach the Nascent Soul stage and possess extrasensory perception, they will be able to learn a great many things.

But if I don’t know, I won’t know.

And some knowledge that can only be obtained under certain conditions that require birth in the future.

The Nascent Soul stage is currently incapable of this.

This is why these Nascent Soul cultivators absolutely need Fang Jun.

Because they truly cannot modify the Path of Destiny.

Only by relying on Fang Jun can they succeed.

This is the result calculated by the Heavenly Secrets Dao.

But no matter how miraculous Fang Jun was, he couldn't compare to the Great Dao of Fortune.

After all, luck can turn the rotten into the miraculous.

It is a miraculous creation that turns the impossible into the possible.

"I really want to go back to the era when the Lord of Destiny was born, to witness the birth of destiny."

"I want to see what the principles behind the Great Path of Destiny are."

Thinking of this, Fang Jun wished he could travel through time to witness history.

That's right, time travel and being a trans-dimensional being are two different things.

As a transdimensional life form, it can be described as a snake on the timeline.

Traveling through time and space, you are still the same person.

Moreover, Fang Jun already knew that the number of virtual particles needed to travel through time and space was actually very small.

As long as your technology allows you to use two virtual particles to exceed the speed of light.

You could use two virtual particles to go back to the time of the Big Bang.

The specific steps are as follows.

A virtual particle departs from its star system beyond the bounds of spacetime.

Fly for billions and billions of years.

Then it would take a virtual particle to travel back at faster-than-light speed, which would naturally take billions upon billions of years.

Eventually you will be able to go back to the time of the Big Bang.

Of course, generally speaking, a Nascent Soul who has mastered virtual particles would not do this, nor would an advanced civilization do this.

The time frame is too long, and there are too many variables.

To travel back in time through such a long journey.

That's simply not realistic.

One of the issues is that you might encounter interstellar dust that slows down your movement.

This causes your consumption to exceed that of a virtual particle.

Secondly, other civilizations might be curious about a space traveler like you.

It hinders your time travel.

Or you might encounter other cosmic wonders that cause your speed to decrease.

These are all behaviors that increase your virtual particle consumption.

But in any case, this is a minimal-cost way to change history.

Compared to the subtle information channels of transdimensional life forms, they make choices about history.

Going back in time would undoubtedly be much better.

Just like the previous clash between the Nascent Soul and the Eight Heavenly Venerables, they knew that they couldn't do anything with just the form of a trans-dimensional life form.

Even if the ruling power were to enter the war earlier, it would change very little.

Because the Eight Great Celestial Venerables could also change the time it took for Fang Jun to attain enlightenment.

Yes, the time when Fang Jun attained enlightenment was altered.

Because the history that has changed is not recorded.

There is no carrier.

However, Fang Jun learned from the recent changes that the time he attained enlightenment was actually longer than the time he remembered after gaining trans-temporal senses.

Five minutes less.

This timeframe is still changing.

Clearly, some Nascent Soul cultivators were unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to arrive at the battlefield ahead of time.

However, the only way to truly change things is to travel back in time.

Only then will they possess the greatest power to bring about change.

However, these were also prevented by the Eight Heavenly Venerables.

"The constant changes in history in the universe are partly caused by the actions of trans-dimensional beings, and partly by these time-travelers."

"They traveled across the vast expanse of space, then back to the past, to change it."

"And because stars are extremely distant, these things actually happened in the past."

Thinking of this, Fang Jun couldn't help but feel a sense of longing, wishing he could escape the conflicts of the Immortal Ruins world and explore this universe.

But he knew he couldn't.

His morality is inadequate.

His character is also flawed.

Fang Jun smiled at the eight Heavenly Venerables and said, "The second round begins."
