Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 424 Cosmic Mud Truck (4k)

There is a clear relationship of restraint between the gods, and they are distinctly different.

The process by which advanced civilizations ascend to godhood is, in reality, a process in which advanced civilizations expend enormous amounts of energy and resources to transform a small number of individuals into high-dimensional gods. There are three specific paths, which also correspond to the three main types of gods today:

Energy God, Matter God, Rule God.

First, there is the most common type: the energy god. The essence of the energy god is to entrust its information body (self-consciousness) to a higher-dimensional energy body in an eleven-dimensional universe. This higher-dimensional energy body has an extremely high energy density, but still maintains a specific aggregate form, exhibiting obvious order (low entropy).

And this high-dimensional energy body is the essence of God.

The Star God Civilization, the Poetry Civilization, the Mirror Civilization, and the Low Temperature Civilization are typical representatives of this kind of energy god.

The different aggregation forms of higher-dimensional energy bodies specifically distinguish these kinds of gods. Just like human macromolecules, they are linked by different forms of amino acids and peptide bonds to form polypeptides, which in turn form proteins with specific functions.

These different "proteins" represent different gods. Common forms of high-dimensional energy aggregation include eddies, parallel formations, crystals, polymerization, coiling, polarization, flocculation, radiation, precipitation, mirroring, and thousands of other forms.

The bizarre and varied forms of high-dimensional energy aggregation have formed unique high-dimensional energy gods.

Li Bai's "body" manifests in the eleventh dimension as a vortex, a parallel form of "origami field," where energy folds space like origami, causing two distant points to instantly stick together, resulting in extremely high energy density.

This method of achieving godhood made the poets a renowned and powerful group of gods in the universe.

The preferences of this high-dimensional energy deity are also closely related to its own structural form.

For example, in the "Poetry" civilization, the essence of the Poetry Clan is this kind of "origami field". Therefore, this civilization always likes to write "art poems" on its "origami field" to show its uniqueness and artistic heritage.

This is also the origin of the 'poetry' civilization, and the pursuit of the most beautiful poetry has become the eternal pursuit of the poetry civilization.

For example, unbeknownst to Luo Qing, Li Bai had already filled his origami field with all sorts of messy patterns and characters, including formations, talismans, and cultivation techniques. Li Bai had been secretly studying how to become a true cultivator behind Luo Qing's back.

Li Bai desperately wanted to cultivate immortality.

Li Bai dreamed of cultivating immortality.

Unfortunately, Li Bai grasped the form but not the essence. His masterful control over high-dimensional energy could mimic the function of spiritual energy, but it was ultimately not 'spiritual energy'. Even if Li Bai condensed a nascent soul, that high-dimensional nascent soul would not speak on its own initiative.

Today's Li Bai is nothing more than an energy god cosplaying an immortal; his essence remains unchanged.

Perhaps billions of years from now, when Li Bai tires of the cultivation of immortality and erases the patterns from his original form [the origami field], he will become an ordinary member of the poetic civilization once again.

Take the Star God civilization, for example.

Their high-dimensional energy bodies exist in the form of "flocculation," where high-dimensional energy is aggregated into [high-dimensional star nuclei]. Therefore, their bodies are entities that resemble star nuclei. In the universe, "flocculation" of energy is one of the most common methods for high-dimensional gods to become gods.

However, this simple and crude method also means that the density of the Star God's [high-dimensional star core] is limited, far less than that of the Poetry Civilization's [origami field]. Therefore, the Star God Civilization's combat power is lower than that of the Poetry Civilization.

In the realm of energy gods, the higher-dimensional energy body with a higher energy level is stronger than the lower-energy god.

This simple and direct numerical energy index also created a clear dividing line of power among the gods.

The "consumption of origin" mentioned by Li Bai earlier is essentially the consumption of the total amount of high-dimensional energy within one's own body [origami field]. This is a very precious act that is extremely difficult to replenish.

For an energy god, consuming a large amount of high-dimensional energy often means risking everything.

Otherwise, Li Bai wouldn't have thought of dismantling the solar system to write poetry clouds. If it had enough energy, it could have completely consumed its own "origin" to carry out mass-energy conversion and build poetry clouds... It's just a pity that converting energy into matter is too energy-intensive, and the energy level of matter is inherently higher than that of energy.

Li Bai did it for art, but not to the point of risking his life. The energy consumed by composing poems that exhausted all possible combinations of Chinese characters was too much for Li Bai to bear.

Although the strength of gods can be distinguished by the amount of energy they possess, it does not mean that the side with a higher energy level can easily slaughter the side with a lower energy level.

The reason is simple: those thousands of high-dimensional energy structures have been verified over a long period of time to be extremely stable.

Killing an energy god means destroying the structural form of the opponent's higher-dimensional energy body. Among these, the simplest 'parallel' form is the easiest to disrupt, causing the god to lose control and explode in death. However, no civilization now uses the 'parallel' structure to become a god.

In contrast, gods constructed in other ways are very 'sturdy'. The stronger side can drive away the weaker side, but destroying the other's construction is only possible if there is a huge difference in energy level, or if one side is surrounded and attacked by all the gods.

Gods are extremely difficult to kill, which is one of the prerequisites for the formation of the Bright Ocean Society.

—Of course, Li Bai, who obtained the eleven-dimensional immortal sword, is not subject to this restriction.

Whether it's eddy current, parallel flow, crystal, aggregation, coiling, polarization, flocculation, radiation, or any other miscellaneous phenomena, one sword strike will cleave it in two, and any energy god will die.

Once the structure of a high-dimensional energy body breaks down, the ordered high-dimensional energy rapidly evaporates into disordered energy, and the information body also evaporates quickly. This process is irreversible, and the energy god will perish rapidly in the process.

The Star God was killed with a single sword strike, completely unable to react.

Under normal circumstances, Li Bai would have had to fight the Star God for tens of thousands of years to determine a victor. To kill the fleeing Star God on his own would be as difficult as the Shu Road or ascending to heaven.

Li Bai's acquisition of the immortal sword signifies that he has gained "firearms" in a human world where weapons are nonexistent.

This will elevate Li Bai to the pinnacle of energy gods, making him capable of challenging those rule gods.

The Star God civilization once relied on its mad dog-like ferocity and numerical advantage, and liked to gang up on and tear apart any passing single god like hyenas, thus establishing its formidable reputation. However, the Star Gods were not weak; those who formed gods through 'flocculent' structures could be considered standard god-level combat units.

There has never been a precedent of such an 'instantaneous' event in the universe—unless the risk-taker has an overwhelming advantage over the Star God, in which case the Star God simply crashes into Li Bai, who is of the same level, and then that's it.

The ten gods present.

After discarding the cultivator who disguised himself as a god, and eliminating the 'God of Rules' Absolute Rigid Body and the 'God of Matter' Quark Star, the remaining four Black Forest Gods—the Pentahedron and the Mirror—are all energy gods. Among them, the Mirror is the strongest.

Compared to Li Bai's "origami field," which is constructed through the dual forms of "vortex" and "parallelism,"

The 'flocculation' structure of the Star God's [high-dimensional star core]
The [hyperpentahedra] are constructed by the 'coiling' and 'polarizing' structure of a regular pentahedron.
A Black Forest God whose body is constructed through 'aggregation' [adhesive].
The three Black Forest Gods construct energy core-like patterns through 'flocculation'.

This musician's skill is far superior.

The aggregation of high-dimensional energy is extremely complex and rare, employing three forms: 'polarization', 'precipitation', and 'mirrification', thereby constructing the high-dimensional energy body [super mirror membrane].

[Super Mirror Membrane] This is a transparent energy membrane attached to the boundary of dimensions. It is like a mirror but can pass through in both directions and spans all dimensions. Where the mirror stands, there is also an eleven-dimensional mirror membrane, a ten-dimensional mirror membrane, a nine-dimensional mirror membrane... a three-dimensional mirror membrane.

The lower the dimension, the larger the area. In three-dimensional space, the mirror itself is about 100 billion square kilometers. If the mirror is suspended about 450 kilometers above the Earth's North Pole, compared to the Earth, it is like a chess piece placed in the center of a chessboard.

In all three structural forms, the total energy of the mirror even exceeds that of Li Bai.

Therefore, among the countless energy deities in the entire universe, the mirror possesses near-peak combat power. (This excludes those wielding the immortal sword.)

Similarly, due to the nature of the object itself, the mirror is extremely sensitive to spatial structure, and this sensitivity created the greatest musician in the universe.

As for the last of the three gods of art, the "Low Temperature Artist" who has yet to appear, its high-dimensional energy body is aggregated in the form of "flocculation" and its "crystallized" body is [low ice crystal]. Its combat power is also quite impressive, but it is not present today, so there is no need to introduce it further.

In summary, the essence of energy gods is a high-dimensional energy body with different aggregation forms, regularity, and self-awareness.

Before their ascension, these energy gods were all extremely powerful fiber-level civilizations in the universe. Apart from the star god civilizations that fought their way up from the three-dimensional universe, the history of the other energy gods can be traced back to the pastoral era of the eleven-dimensional universe.

Among them, special divine creations such as entropy-flat amber and ideal black bodies can also be classified into the category of energy gods.

In the universe, the vast majority of gods are energy gods, and energy gods are the main form of existence for god-level civilizations.

As long as the higher-dimensional energy body is not destroyed, the information body will not dissipate, and the god will not die.

Among them, besides the energy god, the material god is also a major form of god. As the name suggests, it is a god made of matter, such as Quark Star in the Black Forest God camp.

Matter gods achieve free movement by embedding information bodies (self-consciousness) into the microscopic ends of matter and manipulating the external 'body'. Typical celestial matter gods include quark gods, neutron star gods, and white dwarf gods.

Ordinary matter gods include nebula matter gods, plasma gods, and various fermion gods, etc., which are essentially microscopic matter 'becoming sentient'.

Most of the material gods can only travel at the standard speed of light and cannot travel at the eleventh-dimensional speed of light, but Quark Star is an exception.

As the most basic form of matter, quarks, based on their physical properties, can be transmitted in eleven dimensions through high-dimensional spatial pathways temporarily constructed by other energy gods.

Apart from that, no higher-level unit of matter can do it.

This is also why Quark Star was the first to appear; it had four Black Forest Gods clearing the way for it. If it were left alone, it would naturally only be able to travel at the standard speed of light.

This kind of material god is the opposite of the energy god. Most material gods cannot fight against energy gods, after all, energy gods are masters of manipulating the law of mass-energy conversion. But Quark Star is obviously not an ordinary god. Its body structure, second only to a black hole, allows it to ignore the attacks of most energy gods.

Unless a powerful being is willing to trade their life for the injury.

This is why most energy gods are unwilling to provoke this trouble. Quark Star's words are true; in most cases, it is indeed invincible.

After all, the God of Energy couldn't have conjured a black hole out of thin air, and even small-mass black holes had been suppressed by the God of Quark.

However, this is on the premise that there is no absolutely rigid body on site.
Absolute rigid bodies are typical rule gods. If energy gods account for 90% of the total number of gods in the universe, then matter gods account for the remaining 10%. Between the two, there are a very small number of rule gods.

Among them, the Risk Remover Civilization and the Zeroer Civilization are both typical strong rule pantheons, possessing a unified cosmic model and extremely terrifying strength. Individual Risk Remover and Zeroer individuals are capable of destroying a large number of energy gods and easily killing energy gods and matter gods by manipulating physical rules and even mathematical laws.

The God of Rules is very powerful.

However, the Absolute Rigid Body is clearly a special exception. It is very powerful, but far from reaching the level of the Risk Eliminator or the Zeroer. The rules of the Rule Gods are external and changeable. But the rules of the Absolute Rigid Body are internal and have only three natures.

[Indestructible, zero deformation, instantaneous force transfer]

Furthermore, an absolutely rigid body has no mass, but occupies the spatial volume of all dimensions, and can travel freely in the eleventh dimension like an energy god. Its origin remains a mystery to this day, with some gods speculating that the absolutely rigid body is a creation of a super-powerful rule god.

However, this claim has not yet been responded to or confirmed by an absolutely rigid body.

Similarly, due to its own properties, an absolute rigid body has very weak destructive power. Its only function is to "create and fly away the opponent." As a cosmic dump truck, it cannot do anything to most energy gods, since energy gods cannot be killed.

This is also why the Carbon-Based Federation did not try to win over this god—it is simply not a combat unit.

However, the absolutely rigid body naturally restrains the matter god, especially celestial matter gods like Quark Star. This rule god's greatest dream is to find something harder than itself to collide with, but unfortunately, more than 10 billion years have passed, and the absolutely rigid body has still not found anything harder.

In any case, the gaze of the absolutely rigid body has been completely fixed on the quark god; it has been eyeing this thing, which is second only to the black hole, for a very long time.

If a fight breaks out later, there might be a chance to make a breakthrough.

Just thinking about that feeling makes an absolutely rigid body tremble.

As for following the mirror and becoming its most loyal fan, it's simply because the mirror's spatial music can bring it some external stimulation, which is invaluable to an absolutely rigid body.

Of all the gods, the absolutely rigid body is the most fearful of the future. It is extremely worried that the universe will enter a heat death ending, a universe in which all black holes evaporate, a world that cannot be created. The absolutely rigid body is extremely desperate just thinking about it, and even doubts the meaning of its own existence.

Time is precious; we must seize every opportunity to create everything we can.
