Honkai Simulator, why is it always me who is the Herrscher?

【…】

002 did not answer, it was not her responsibility.

Ye Changan thought about it in vain and had to give up.

He turned around and went home, had a meal with Cecilia, went to find Xilin to get a free performance, and continued his daily life.

In his daily life, he began to get in touch with the tree of imaginary numbers.

Having left the simulation and lost the simulation system, they can only place their hopes of finding Eden on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Among the many branching worlds on the tree, he found the world where he and Eden had known each other.

This was not an easy task, he knew.

But he could never imagine that this would be so difficult.

Because he could never reach the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

What Otto could do with the Second God's Key, Ye Changan could never do.

"This unscientific!"

He is much stronger than the Second God Key.

……

……

Song of Destruction: Dislocated Spacetime: 43. Tree of Existence

After trying for a year without any results, Ye Changan was helpless and had to try another method.

Technology.

He told Otto the information about the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, wanting to see if this genius who had come into contact with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers in the original work could come up with something useful.

"Hmm~ Contact the Tree of Imaginary Numbers."

Otto stroked his chin and pondered, then nodded to accept the task and began to conduct the experiment.

But the experimental results were not very optimistic. Like Ye Changan, he was unable to touch the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Otto didn't give up and kept trying different things.

During this period, Ryuji Wuliang's exploration of the universe also yielded results.

In the first year after the end of the Final War, Ryusuke Murasaki built the first warship on Earth that could travel through space.

Named "Hyperion", it was captained by Himeko Murata and set off to explore the solar system.

Now more than a year has passed. Hyperion brought Ji Zi and others back to Earth and reported a lot of information.

Ye Changan listened in for a while, but found that there was no information he was interested in, so he had to go to Ji Zi privately to ask.

"Jizi, did you travel through the entire solar system on this voyage?"

"Yeah, I came back after going around in circles."

"Did you see any other spaceships along the way?"

"No."

Ji Zi shook her head, and Ye Changan fell into confusion.

——Did he miss Grayshu’s Ark?

Grayshu, the executor of the Ark Project, has been wandering in the solar system for 50,000 years. Logically, she should have been discovered by Jizi.

But Jizi did not find Grayshu's Ark during her voyage.

Maybe it was a miss, maybe it was for some other reason.

Ye Changan was a little concerned. He spent a month searching and observing the entire solar system but still couldn't find the Ark.

We also carefully observed Venus, where [Sa] was born, and found it to be completely normal with no abnormalities.

It's as if they don't exist at all.

A bit unscientific.

"They exist in history, so they shouldn't be affected by future simulations."

The simulation is limited to the Earth and will not affect the starry sky.

But this is just Ye Changan's personal inference and has not actually been confirmed.

"002, is this galaxy the same galaxy as the one in reality?"

Ye Changan asked 002 for confirmation and got a vague answer.

[Yes and no. 】

It is the same galaxy but it is not the same galaxy. It is the same as not saying anything.

Ye Changan was speechless. He asked several times but couldn't get the ideal answer.

Some headache.

It was also during this headache that Otto reported something to him.

"Sir God, the experiment on contacting the tree of imaginary numbers may be a useless effort."

"Useless? Why?"

"Because we might not be in the tree anymore."

"what?"

Ye Changan was stunned and didn't believe it.

This is incredible.

How could a civilization that could be put to the test by a cocoon not be in a tree?

But Otto's conclusion is not groundless, mainly coming from his exploration of "Trees and the Sea".

"Lord God, you once told me that the Imaginary Number Tree is an eternity rooted in the quantum ocean, and the world we live in is just a branch on the Imaginary Number Tree.

Time flows on the trunk of the tree of imaginary numbers, branching out into infinite worlds like its crown.

Based on this argument, the representation of time on the tree trunk is closer to history, that is, the unchangeable past that has already happened and exists on the tree.

The concepts corresponding to the past are the present and the future.

On the tree trunk, the place that can express the concept of "now" should be the tip of the trunk.

The tip of the imaginary number tree is the critical point that distinguishes the past from the future, which is the point in time we are in now."

“If we are still under the trial of collapse, then the result of the trial will affect the branch we are on.

For example, if the trial fails, it will be reversed and reset by the power of the end.

This kind of reset, applied to the tree of imaginary numbers, is almost like cutting off this branch and letting it grow again.

The severed branches will no longer be able to connect to the tree of imaginary numbers, and will fall into the quantum sea as if they have lost their fulcrum.

If it could be preserved intact, it would probably become a kind of [World Bubble].

On the other hand, if the trial is successful, one will continue to exist in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, constantly moving forward under the influence of time."

Otto first explained the theory of the existence of the tree of imaginary numbers. Ye Changan frowned when he heard it, as if he had grasped something.

But Ye Changan did not rush to express his opinion, so Otto continued

"The world that exists within the Imaginary Number Tree is connected to it. As long as you find the right method, contacting the Imaginary Number Tree is not difficult.

Your power and my experiment are both correct methods, but we cannot access the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

So I have to wonder if we've fallen out of the tree."

“We are no longer in the tree. For some unknown reason, we fell into the sea and became a world bubble.

The evidence was the information reported by Wuliangta Jizi.

She said that after the Hyperion reached the edge of the solar system, it could no longer move forward. Even if it used full power to move forward, it would be blocked and pushed back by an unknown force.

Perhaps that force is the end of the world, the membrane that envelops our world.

Once you break through the limitations of the membrane, you will escape from the world bubble and enter the quantum ocean."

This is the basis for Otto's inference that this world has become a world bubble.

But Ye Changan didn't quite believe this inference, because to enter the Quantum Sea, there was no need to run to the end of the solar system, the Abyss City under the deep sea would be enough.

Therefore, Otto's inference is just a one-sided guess and should not be taken seriously.

But based on this theory, Ye Changan discovered a fact that is crucial but particularly easy to overlook.

——This is a simulated future world.

The branches of the imaginary number tree represent the past, and the tips of the tree represent the present. So which part should represent the future?

There is no part that can represent the future, because this thing does not grow on the tree of imaginary numbers.

It is the power of the system that forces the imaginary tree to forcibly produce a false branch, and then connect a simulated branch to the actual end.

Therefore, the world that Ye Changan lives in is still on the tree, but the simulation system supports this world and connects it to the tree of imaginary numbers.

They are at the end of a false tree, and if they want to touch the tree of imaginary numbers, they must first cross this false trunk.

Only by transcending falsehood can we touch the truth.

Based on this assumption, Ye Changan discovered a more serious problem.

"002, after the simulation ends, this place will become a world club?"

After sending Otto away, Ye Changan anxiously asked 002 and received a positive answer.

After the simulation ends, the power of the system will disappear, and the false branches derived from the system will naturally disappear as well.

By then, they, who are at the ends of the branches, will be disconnected from the tree, and it is inevitable that they will fall into the quantum sea just like the branches that were cut off by the end of time.

The second simulation was very different from the first one.

It is not a matter of simply turning the simulated world into reality and being worry-free.

Ye Changan is emo.

"That's not a very good result."

If he falls into the sea and loses his connection with the tree, how can he use the Tree of Imaginary Numbers to find Eden?

He couldn't accept it.

[Host, I advise you to accept it honestly. This is something that cannot be changed.]

002 advised Ye Changan to accept it honestly and stop making trouble, because this was beyond the scope of human interference.

Even a cocoon can't do that.

The tree and the sea are an independent mechanism, and no external object can change their rules.

Only by obeying the rules can you survive.

Just like the world where Kallen lives, created by Otto in the original work.

“…” Ye Changan was speechless and uncomfortable, still thinking.

He pondered the tree, the sea and the cocoon carefully, and suddenly discovered a blind spot.

"002, how exactly did the civilization that failed the trial get cut off from the tree by the End and fall into the sea?"

The Tree of Imaginary Numbers gives birth to civilization, the Cocoon tests and cuts off civilization, and the Quantum Sea accepts failed civilizations.

It seems to be a good cycle, but there is something very important missing from this cycle.

Planet!

Take Su of the Venus civilization as an example. She was born from a civilization that failed in the trial. She accumulated strength in the sea and tried to revive the civilization, and also tried to connect to the tip of the tree of imaginary numbers.

This does make sense if we consider intangible concepts such as time and civilization.

But from a tangible perspective, there are a lot of bugs here.

For example, although the Venus civilization was reset by the end, Venus is still in the solar system.
