Did the world end today?

Chapter 369 Tracing the Roots

Chapter 369 Tracing the Roots
Based on Lin Xu's need for information about "boundaries," Jiang Xingye's incantation this time was very simple.

"There is a blurred boundary between the human world and heaven."

This spell is equivalent to simultaneously sliding the "slider of the times" and the "slider of professionalism" to the far left.

Its religious connotations are very strong, and Lin Xu's first reaction was to deny it.

But on second thought, if it's simply for the sake of "information," rather than actually pushing a world into a higher dimension and stabilizing it, then a solution with religious attributes would be the best solution.

the reason is simple.

In human experience, besides war, religion is also a key element driving technological development.

From Copernicus to Leibniz, their contributions to science were all, to varying degrees, influenced by religion.

Of course, the process of scientific exploration inevitably relies on rational thinking, but the "faith" hanging over people's heads sometimes acts like a radish, propelling explorers forward.

This is the duality of things.

While the ethereal nature of religion can lead people astray, the spiritual motivation it provides can indeed accelerate human progress to some extent.

Ultimately, Lin Xu adopted Jiang Xingye's suggestion.

"Then let's send out this spell."

"I hope that next time I come, we will be able to solve the mystery of the 'boundary'."

“I have a feeling that perhaps the boundaries themselves are connected to the clues of ‘high-dimensional adaptability’ that we are looking for in more ways that we don’t know yet.”

"no problem."

Jiang Xingye nodded.

After a moment's thought, she spoke again:
"Also, I have a suggestion regarding that 'Border Ghost'."

"He can indeed have a significant impact on your lower-dimensional world to a great extent, but he is by no means omnipotent."

“Modifying a concept is not without cost or responsibility.”

"I think that's the limit for him, as long as he can modify a single 'word'."

"If the numbers really need to be changed, it will inevitably involve first-level information."

"The costs incurred during this iteration were beyond his ability to predict."

"Furthermore, judging from his behavior, the reason why that ghost was able to modify the real world must have relied on Qin Shizhong himself as a medium."

"This is an anchor point, or rather, an information feedback mechanism."

"Information feedback mechanism?"

Lin Xu asked in confusion:
"You mean, Borderlands Specters can't directly access low-dimensional information?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Jiang Xingye shook his head and said:

"Remember when I told you? A boundary is a region that is not affected by dimensional information."

"It is precisely for this reason that humans in a world at war can use borders to escape the final war."

“He must be lying—he might be able to receive information through the boundary, but it’s absolutely impossible for him to transmit information back through the boundary.”

“I even suspect that his entry into the high-dimensional channel this time was a pre-planned ‘rendezvous’.”

Connector?

As soon as Jiang Xingye finished speaking, Lin Xu immediately realized what was going on.

If that's the case, then many things that happened to Qin Shizhong can be reasonably explained.

Include
His parents' problem.

"I understand."

"I will find a way to verify this."

"It's almost time."

"I have to go."

"it is good."

Jiang Xingye stood up, and in an instant, the stars changed, and the two returned to the grassland.

Before his consciousness faded, Lin Xu suddenly thought of a question.

"Why do you always design the scene of our meeting as a grassland?"

"Nothing special."

Jiang Xingye shrugged.

"This is the world I belong to, the scene I remember most vividly." "Perhaps in your world, another version of me has different memories?"

"really."

Lin Xu's memory was instantly pulled back to that rooftop.

That was the scene I remember most vividly.

Perhaps one day in the future, when I have the ability to "directly change the world," I will also set that scene as the "standard scene" for our meeting?

Time had come to an end, and Lin Xu's consciousness gradually faded.

Everything before my eyes began to fade into the distance.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his office.
"So, in the end, your 'unavoidable condition' was useless?"

"Yes."

Lin Xu nodded.

“The situation in that world is completely different from what we expected—in that world, you are not some kind of 'tool,' but you have truly become the master of the world.”

"The ruler of the world?"

Jiang Xingye shook his head with amusement.

"If a world consisting of only one person can be considered a world, then everyone is the master of that world."

"what?"

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment.

"What you're saying sounds a bit like idealistic philosophy—what, have you recently switched to studying this area?"

"Study your ass!"

Jiang Xingye rolled his eyes and said:
“Seriously—if this world were truly one that I completely controlled, then you would have so many things to exploit.”

"Is it possible that next time, when the world's completeness increases again..."

"That world can locate our world and then exert influence on it?"

"It's entirely possible."

Lin Xu nodded in reply:
"The increase in the completeness of the world also means the expansion of the world's boundaries. One day, that world will extend to the top of our heads."

"At that time, that world might become something akin to a cheat code?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Xingye's eyes lit up.

"system?"

"Your brain is really something—have you been watching too many silly anime?"

"No way!"

Jiang Xingye scoffed.

"It really is very similar. By completing tasks to load the system, and after the system is loaded, magical functions will appear. Isn't that exactly the same situation you are facing now?"

Don't tell me, it's true.

Lin Xu was completely unable to refute this, and could only wave his hand and say:

"Let's not talk about these trivial things."

"Now we have an important problem to solve."

"Qin Shizhong's threat."

"Based on information obtained from another world, he is very likely one of the eyes of that 'Border Ghost'."

"We need to verify this immediately."

"How to verify?"

Jiang Xingye immediately became interested.

She keenly realized that this task might bring some different changes to their long-standing, somewhat monotonous work.

Lin Xu noticed Jiang Xingye's expectation, smiled slightly, and replied:

"We need to get to the root of the problem."
