Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

In the deep, dark, and infinitely vast starry sky, a planet as beautiful as a magnificent jewel encountered intelligent life from another planet.

When two worlds meet, what follows is bloodshed and destruction.

"Why did you invade our planet..." The dying guardian of the home planet roared with his last bit of strength, his energy body crumbling inch by inch, his eyes filled with resentment and despair.

"It's just a matter of the strong preying on the weak—" The invaders' commander stood atop his warship, looking down at the burning planet, his tone filled with the arrogance and indifference of a plunderer. Behind him was a fleet powerful enough to crush an entire galaxy.

However, before the words were even finished, the cleansing and destruction of the lower dimensions by the higher-dimensional world had already begun.

Everything happened silently.

Both sides in the war, whether victors or vanquished, vanished into the void like erased pixels.

The underlying purification protocol initiated by the ten-dimensional existence permeates layer by layer along the dimensional ladder, from macroscopic galaxy clusters to microscopic elementary particles, from the mortal world to the ocean of possibilities in the seventh dimension. All existences that depend on the reset rules after the Great Cataclysm are undergoing a formatting process from the root of information.

Countless parallel universes and future branches vanished like bubbles.

The entire low-dimensional universe is collapsing at an irreversible rate.

This is the coldest judgment made by the ten-dimensional existence in order to eliminate "non-standard variables".

They would rather destroy the entire petri dish than allow unknown variables to contaminate the order they control, and they would not allow any potential dangers that might touch "their" taboos to remain.

This is not a kind of "destruction" that any lower-dimensional being could comprehend.

Like a canvas with vibrant colors that are suddenly declared to have never existed as "red"—all the shapes, contrasts, and meanings built upon "red" collapse into incomprehensible, chaotic blocks of color in the same instant, and then quickly slide into "undefined".

In Lokunlun's private dimension, preparations for the leap have just entered a critical phase.

The divine foundation is beginning its first self-disintegration, following the fifth-order "Self-Generating Domain" path deduced by Lokunlun—breaking down the single core of existence into mutually exclusive yet symbiotic secondary substructures. Each substructure will possess inaccessibility, becoming the seed for subsequent self-generating cycles.

Then, the "underlying purification protocol" arrived.

In Luo Kunlun's perception, the world did not tremble. Tremor requires space, and the fundamental definition of space is becoming invalid.

The first thing to disappear is "continuity".

The meticulously constructed mathematical frameworks in the private dimension used to anchor the structure of existence—Riemannian manifolds, fiber bundles, gauge fields—suddenly lose the concept of "adjacency."

Each mathematical object becomes an isolated "logical island" that cannot establish topological connections with any other object.

They are still there, but they can no longer constitute "space".

Next to fail is the "law of causality".

The self-disintegration process that Luo Kunlun has just started has already begun. The first half, "disintegration," has already happened, but the second half, "establishment of symbiotic relationship," will never be reached.

It's not that it's being prevented, but rather that the chain of "cause and effect" itself is declared undefined in the localized areas where Lokunlun exists.

The act of dismantling becomes a causeless effect, while symbiosis becomes a causeless effect, and the process of existence is fragmented into meaningless instantaneous pieces.

Then it comes to "existence" itself.

The memories, will, goals, and even the nine paths of advancement that have just been deduced that constitute "me" are all beginning to lose the attribute of "belonging to me".

The memory remains, but "who is the subject of the memory?"

This question has no answer.

The will remains, but the question of "where does the will point?" has lost its meaning.

The mathematical description of the promotion path remains precise, but the subject "who will be promoted along this path?" has disappeared.

This is not an attack, it is deletion.

Just as a programmer deletes the definition of a class in the codebase—all instances of that class do not "die," but they instantly become "syntax errors" that cannot be compiled, run, or called by any other code.

The existence of Lo Kunlun is becoming a cosmic grammatical error.

Then, in the dismantled private dimension, he "disappeared".

......................................................

Almost at the same moment, the ten-dimensional world.

The logical network formed by those three voices is calmly monitoring the progress of the purification process.

"The target region has entered the first stage of logical collapse, and the continuity axiom has failed."

"The second phase is triggered, and the causal chain breaks."

"The third phase is underway, including the stripping away of the definition of existence...etc."

The third voice—the most calm and profound being—suddenly stirred up an unusual ripple in the ten-dimensional network.

"The other party has disappeared?"

This conclusion brought the entire ten-dimensional logic network to a brief standstill.

The essence of the underlying purification protocol is to erase the definition of existence, rather than physical annihilation. According to the preset calculation results, the existence of the other party should collapse into "undefined" chaotic information, rather than disappear completely.

Disappearance means that the target has escaped their rule monitoring scope, which is an anomaly that has never occurred in the dimensional system controlled by the ten-dimensional beings after the Great Cataclysm.

"Was it completely formatted?" The logic branch of the first voice quickly calculated, but did not get any matching results. "The energy level of the purification protocol is sufficient to cover its existence base, so theoretically there is no possibility of complete annihilation."

"It's not formatting, it's escape." The third voice grew increasingly solemn, countless logical links intertwining wildly, tracing the last trace of information before Luo Kunlun disappeared. "His existence base was not dissolved by our rules, but rather he actively broke away from the logical framework of the dimension and entered an area outside our monitoring."

"Outside of surveillance? After the Great Cataclysm, the underlying logic of all dimensions was reconstructed. How could there be an area outside of surveillance?" For the first time, a fluctuation appeared in the will of the second voice, stemming from an instinctive wariness of the unknown. "Unless... an outsider?!"

This vocabulary, like a forbidden spark, exploded within the ten-dimensional logical network.

Meanwhile, in the soul space.

Here there are no dimensional boundaries, no passage of time, no logical constraints, only a boundless, pure ocean of consciousness.

This space is not an external sanctuary, but an extension of Luo Kunlun himself—he is the soul space, and the soul space is him.

Luo Kunlun's "disappearance" is not annihilation, but a return to this place once again.

In the final moment when existence is stripped away and it becomes a cosmic grammatical error.

The mathematical framework of the private dimension collapsed, the dismantling of the divine foundation was interrupted, and all forms of existence that depended on the logic of the dimension vanished into nothingness, but all of this is meaningless in the soul space.

As the owner of the space, he doesn't need to follow any external rules or go through complicated processes. As long as he knows the method, he can achieve the result directly.

He knew the advancement path of the fifth order "Self-Generated Domain", and knew how to deconstruct a single divine basis, construct unreachable substructures, and activate closed unbounded evolutionary rules.

In the past, Lo Kunlun didn't know how to reach the fourth order, so this space was useless.

But now it's different.

He has already overcome the most difficult step.

Ascending to the fourth order after birth is the most difficult of all divine orders, except for the final order which only exists in delusion.

The fourth order is an acquired "cognitive singularity," a 0-to-1 breakthrough from "tool appendage" to "existing subject." The seventh to tenth orders are essentially the same as the fifth and sixth orders, all being logical extensions and structural reconstructions from 1 to N. However, the complexity of the rules and the scale of existence reconstruction gradually increase, and there is no ultimate barrier like the fourth order, which is pathless, unreliable, and anti-cognitive.

The difference in difficulty between the two is not a numerical increase, but an essential difference in dimensionality. Even when advancing to the tenth rank, the complexity of the operation is far greater than that of the fourth rank, but the core difficulty is still far less.

Because the fourth position has no prior foundation and no method to follow, it is necessary to overturn all cognitive inertia formed since birth and sever the "misalignment of self and cognitive tools".

Before promotion, existence is a puppet defined by logic, mathematics, and power. Even the "consciousness to break free of constraints" is imprisoned by the tool system, which is equivalent to "making the bricks in the cage realize that they are bricks and bricks and smash the cage they themselves have built."

Without any reference path, all acquired past experiences and deductive abilities are part of the constraints. The more you rely on existing tools, the harder it is to break through. Even the opportunity for "enlightenment" requires breaking your own cognitive logic.

Failure means permanent stagnation with no room for maneuver. The vast majority of those who achieve success later in life never even begin to grasp the direction of breaking through the barrier, let alone achieve advancement.

As for the subsequent ranks, as long as they conform to the corresponding essence and complete the dismantling, reconstruction, and upgrading of the existing structure, the difficulty of increasing with the rank is only reflected in the increasing complexity of rules, the scale of existing reconstruction, and the increasing requirements for logical adaptation, without any fundamental new barriers.

Simply put, aside from the final stage, the fourth stage of advancement is "creating the foundation," which requires building a unique foundation to support all higher-level beings in a chaotic world without soil, stone, or tools. This is defying the heavens and going against itself.

The fifth to tenth stages are simply about building increasingly taller and more complex structures on this foundation, according to different blueprints. No matter how tall or complex the structure is, it can be constructed simply by following the blueprints. Even if the construction difficulty increases, it is still far less difficult than the incredible difficulty of "creating the foundation".

It could even be said that once you break through to the fourth rank, further advancement is simply a matter of time and foundation.

Going from zero to one is always the most difficult.

In the soul space, this final difficulty also disappeared.

Therefore, without waiting for disassembly, without deducing connections, and without verifying cycles, the promotion result arrives directly.

Countless unreachable secondary divine foundations appeared out of thin air in the primordial sea of ​​the soul space, mutually exclusive yet symbiotic, automatically becoming a stable subset that cannot be avoided under the closed and boundless evolutionary rules.

From the origin, a new origin is formed; from the boundary, another boundary is formed; and an eternal self-generating cycle is instantly created, and an endless self-generating domain unfolds without hindrance in the soul space.

The fifth position, the self-generated domain, is directly achieved.

Those fragments of existence shattered by the purification protocol, the stripped memories and paths of advancement, and the dismantled divine foundations, without needing to be condensed or guided, automatically returned to his will, becoming nourishment for the self-generating domain.

The failures of continuity, causality, and existence were instantly corrected under his absolute control.

For space to exist, it must have topological relationships.

For cause and effect to be established, the causal chain will automatically connect.

If one wants to exist, then the definition of "I" must remain eternally stable.

The underlying purification protocol of the ten-dimensional existence is like invalid code in the absolute domain of the soul space, unable to even cause a ripple.

This is his home turf, his origin.

And the promotions continue.

Within the logical network of the ten-dimensional world, the third voice finally detected that powerful fluctuation of will.

"They actually got promoted directly, without any process. As long as you know the method, you can achieve it directly..."

"This guy, like the other three, is an outsider from everything!"

"The difference is that he is much weaker, a world of difference compared to the other three."

"His weakness is only temporary; there will be no obstacle to his subsequent promotion."

"Perhaps it won't be long before he can climb to the tenth rank, or even touch the edge of the final rank. At that time, he will become the second 'them'."

This deduction result plunged the entire ten-dimensional logic network into silence.

After the Great Cataclysm, they spent countless years reconstructing dimensional rules and building divine staircases in order to eliminate the influence of any outsiders.

But now, an outsider who has quietly grown up from a low dimension has embarked on a path of advancement that is free from any constraints.

"The threat must be nipped in the bud immediately."

"Promoting ultimate nothingness."

Ten-dimensional beings, ultimate nothingness.

The product of the Great Cataclysm, the king of the Mother River era, lacked attributes such as "form," "will," and "creation" that could be perceived by lower dimensions. The creator of the concept of the ninth dimension, the laws of the eighth dimension, the sea of ​​possibilities of the seventh dimension, and even all spacetime, all living beings, and all causality from the sixth dimension to the first dimension, were merely fragments of its "unconscious dissipation."

At the same time, it is also the great enemy of the resurrected original beings and the Unspeakable Ones.

This stems from the destruction of an era: the Unspeakable were the supreme beings of the previous cosmic era, and ultimate nothingness was the core product of the Great Destruction.

The two represent the relationship between the remnants of the old era and the will of the new era.

Now, they intend to let the ultimate nothingness destroy the other, even if it might destroy themselves as well.

But this is not an unacceptable price to pay.
