Chapter 368 Recursion
From the top?

At this moment, Lin Xu was completely caught in the vortex of information. He could understand every word Jiang Xingye said, but when these words were put together and formed a complete "concept", they exceeded the limits of his imagination.

Perhaps this is what is meant by "lower-dimensional beings can never understand higher dimensions"?
Jiang Xingye saw through Lin Xu's confusion at a glance, and she waved her hand and said:
"That's not actually that important."

"Of course, from the essential and purest logical point of view, this judgment is the core of the effectiveness of all our self-rescue actions."

"But you don't need to understand it right now. You just need to understand one thing: you are hope itself."

"clear."

Seeing that Jiang Xingye had already made his decision, Lin Xu stopped pressing for answers.

He only paused briefly before asking:
"If I don't come from the fourth dimension, but from a higher dimension, then wouldn't the process of dimensional ascension be a kind of..."

"pack?"

"uncertain."

Jiang Xingye shrugged.

"Perhaps it's recursion."

recursion?!
Lin Xu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

To illustrate recursion in the simplest terms, it's like Russian nesting dolls.

Each low-dimensional task is a "dimensional ascent to a higher dimension". When all dimensions have been ascent to the top level, the recursion termination condition takes effect, the recursion ends, and the dimensional ascent terminates.

From a purely physical standpoint, or from the perspective of the information currently available, this is indeed a reasonable explanation.

However, the unreasonable point is that each process of upgrading from a lower dimension is a "sub-problem", while the final upgrade is the "mother problem".

There is a subordinate relationship between the sub-problems and the parent problem, and there must be a core principle that runs through the entire chain and governs it.

Meanwhile, once all the subproblems are solved, the parent problem will also be solved.

Assuming one truly originates from the top level, then after ascending to that level...
Where else can I go?

hiss.
This is indeed not an issue I need to worry about in the short term.

Lin Xu shook his head slightly, pulling his slightly scattered thoughts back.

Then, he asked:
"Why didn't you tell me about this from the beginning?"

"You understand the importance of this message, don't you?"

"It's very simple."

Jiang Xingye replied:

"Because every time you enter this world, the me you see may not be the same me."

"All these personalities you see are simply sharing the same set of information."

"But it is not completely stable on the decision tree."

"Regarding the question of 'whether to inform or not,' each individual has different decision-making criteria."

"In fact, we cannot be sure whether telling you the truth about this world will bring positive or negative benefits."

"Therefore, the safest option is to wait for more worlds to complete their dimensional ascension and for their 'civilizational integrity' to improve before making further decisions."

"Now you should understand what the so-called integrity of civilization means, right?"

"Understood."

Lin Xu nodded slowly.

"So-called integrity is actually difference."

"More different personalities and different information lead to more different decision-making choices and a larger strategy pool, right?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xingye breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's why, with each increase in completeness, the world's 'capabilities' also increase."

"Because we did receive more external support." "Understood."

Lin Xu nodded slightly.

Now, he has finally seen the true nature of the world.

And he finally understood why Qin Shizhong had spoken to him in that tone, telling him to go and see the so-called "truth of the world".

From the perspective of an ordinary person, the world of the "Leap Forward Era" in which Jiang Xingye lives can be described as absolutely terrifying.

The individual's independence has been completely erased—or rather, it cannot be said to have been erased; in fact, the individual no longer exists at all.

In the instant of dimensional ascension, everyone in this world except for the "higher-dimensional outpost" died, becoming the sole existence.

What's even more frightening is that such a development path is difficult to avoid.

Lin Xu asked himself honestly, if the problem of higher-dimensional adaptability is not properly resolved, if the situation develops to an imminent point, and when the impossible triangle of higher dimensions presses down on him, it is entirely possible that he, like the people of this world, might choose to "challenge" this impossible triangle in an extreme way.

This is inevitable, and such consequences have nothing to do with the so-called "good or evil of human nature".

The moment a decision is made, the outcome is already irreversible.

Lin Xu gasped.
-
In the main world, our side has even taken the first step.

That is, to establish outposts.

Although the initial purpose of establishing the outpost was not to directly modify information, it is clear that, given Qin Shizhong's demonstrated ability to "modify concepts" and the influence of "inspiration," it was only a matter of time before it developed to this point!
so close!

In the process of ascending to a higher dimension, even a single wrong step can lead to irreversible consequences!
To truly achieve dimensional ascension, one must proceed with extreme caution, as if walking on thin ice.

Everything must be done in a way that is not rushed.

The idea of ​​quick victory will only lead to quick defeat!

Thinking of this, Lin Xu spoke up:
"If all the proven methods for dimensional ascension fail to achieve true dimensional ascension, then it means that the Destiny Stone Master's perspective remains the only hope for achieving dimensional ascension."

"We have to move forward step by step on our own, but of course, the world you live in is still an important help."

Let's get back to the present.

"Our world is facing a severe challenge."

“There is an ‘individual’ that has altered the concept of the world through so-called ‘boundaries’.”

Lin Xu briefly explained Qin Shizhong's abilities and the impact he had on the world of the Destiny Stone to Jiang Xingye, who remained silent for a moment after listening before replying:
“Last time, you asked me to investigate that ‘Border Ghost’.”

“I have indeed found him—he is a special being who got lost at the boundary of dimensions during the process of dimensional ascension.”

“His ability itself is not special. In essence, what he can do is the same as what the high-dimensional outpost can do.”

"But I really can't tell you how to eliminate this influence."

"Because the characteristics of 'boundaries' are not consistent with those of pure high-dimensional space."

“Even in the information about ‘World at War’, there are not many clear and credible records about the borders.”

"To understand the specific information about the boundaries, the completeness of our world needs to be further improved."

"it is good."

Lin Xu answered decisively:
"Then let's continue to promote world wholeness."

"What should the next spell be?"

"It must be related to 'boundaries,' right?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xingye's expression finally relaxed a little.

She looked at Lin Xu and said:
"If it were up to me to decide this time, I would..."

"I have a good idea."
