Chapter 1628 Exploration of the Hybrid Disaster Zone

However, while people can stop him once, they can't stop him a second time.

This presented a dilemma for the four civilizations, as they encountered a vacuum decay region spanning only about 100 million light-years.

Upon seeing this region of vacuum decay, the Star Guardian finally couldn't resist any longer. He greeted the four civilizations and the four-dimensional life form, and decided to give it a try to see if the fourth phase transition could raise the freezing point energy of vacuum decay.

He wanted to verify whether the Dayan civilization's plan was feasible.

Seeing the Starry Sky Defenders' insistence, everyone discussed it and had no choice but to cooperate.

Because after conducting a risk assessment based on the data provided by the Star Defenders, scientists from various civilizations all felt it was feasible.

The reason the Star Guardian was previously prevented was mainly due to the fear of the vacuum decay region. He is not afraid of the fourth phase transition environment, and currently only he can enter the fourth phase transition region.

As for the vacuum decay region, the engineers came up with a solution: to create a "tether" so that if the Star Guardians go in and find that the area is still a freezing energy zone, they can pull them back using the "tether".

However, this idea was rejected as soon as it was proposed, because that region is also the fourth phase transition region, and any material that enters it will be decomposed by the five fundamental forces.

The Star Guardian's five-elemental defense layer only targets himself and cannot extend to the "tether" like a coating.

In the end, the Star Guardian had a solution. He planned to only go in a little bit, and then have the humans and Awakeners observe from the side, so that they could determine whether the energy fluctuations in that area had actually rebounded.

We got right to it, and it was easy to do.

All the Star Guardian needs to do is run to the edge of the vacuum decay zone, select the coordinates, and fire a fourth phase transition attack at the target area, then the test can proceed.

For safety reasons, four technological civilizations and four-dimensional life forms have arrived, with the former also launching many probes into the vacuum decay region.

The result was self-evident: the detectors failed immediately upon contact with the vacuum decay region. Their power supply systems were paralyzed, and the fundamental particles constituting the detectors themselves ceased vibrating completely the moment they entered the vacuum.

It's as if all energy has been drained away.

Humans and awakeners in third-person observation mode discovered that the particles that had stopped vibrating seemed different from the absolute zero environment described in theory, where the timeline of matter itself was frozen without any oscillations. Although it did not exhibit any energy, it still possessed inherent energy. When pulled back to normal spacetime, those particles would vibrate again.

The former, on the other hand, seems to have completely lost its quantum properties, without even a trace of quantum fluctuation. The entire detector has become something that can only be called matter, a collection of various particles without quantum effects.

All activity ceased, and the intrinsic timeline of the vacuum decay region appeared completely still.

Vacuum decay left civilization no chance of survival; it truly was a problem that even god-like civilizations struggled to solve.

anyway.

The Star Guardian was quite reckless; after informing everyone, he rushed to the edge of the vacuum decay region and unleashed a fourth phase transition attack on the area connecting the inside and outside of the vacuum decay. This was, in fact, the first time the four technological civilizations and the four-dimensional life form had witnessed the initiation of a fourth phase transition.

In that instant, the interstellar dust within the coverage area underwent a phase transition, and the four fundamental laws of force transformed into the five fundamental laws of force. The dark matter within the area also underwent a phase transition in the next moment, transforming into new matter under the five fundamental laws of force.

From the perspective of force field detection, electromagnetic force undergoes a phase transition within a Planck time, transforming into electric and magnetic forces, and there is no longer any hard correlation in the environment after the phase transition.

Immediately afterward, the Star Guardian poked its head inside, and then withdrew it in less than a millisecond.

Everyone thought something had happened, but then they heard him excitedly shouting in the public channel: "Wow, I didn't expect those bastards from the Dayan civilization to be so reliable. The fourth phase transition can indeed raise the freezing point energy of the vacuum decay region by a little bit. I can see that the intrinsic timeline of the new matter inside still has some activity."

The so-called intrinsic timeline of the new matter does not mean that the Star Guardian can see time, but rather that he has detected signs of quantum fluctuations in the particles that make up the new matter through his own methods.

Although this quantum fluctuation effect is very weak, the range of the Star Guardian's attack is not large. If the range is expanded to the entire universe, it will definitely be much larger.

In other words, the direction of the Dayan civilization was correct.

However, the success of the Star Guardian was somewhat strange in the eyes of the four technological civilizations, because everyone knew that he was related to the Dayan Civilization. So when he said those words, the leaders of each civilization felt that it seemed that the Dayan Civilization was telling everyone that it was feasible to push the universe into the Five-Force Era, or at least to allow the universe to survive for a while.

Of course it's feasible. After all, the Dayan Civilization has already told the Rebooters about this, and one of their purposes in measuring the universe is to calculate how long the entire universe can last after being pushed into the Five Forces Era.

Of course, they also wanted to use this method to cross the vacuum decay zone that surrounds the entire universe outside the first ray of light and find a way to another universe.

Yes, during the time that the Great Expeditionary Organization was traveling 20 billion light-years, the Dayan Civilization was not idle either. Although they had not yet completed the cosmic measurement project, they were close. At this moment, based on the anchor point equipment set up during the cosmic measurement process, they had calculated that the entire universe was indeed enveloped by a large area of ​​vacuum decay.

That vacuum decay region continues to grow as the universe expands, but fortunately the universe is still expanding beyond the speed of light, otherwise that vacuum decay region would have already rolled back inward.

It seems that the Dayan civilization will be able to complete the measurement of the universe soon.

However, at this critical juncture, a gaze from the infinite depths of the microscopic world once again turned to the vast universe.

Clearly, that was the Divine Creation Micro-Element.

This time, the Divine Creation Microcosm did not cause much of a commotion. Even the Void Reapers, who had been staying deep within the Void Reapers and watching the foundations of the universe, failed to notice that the gaze was following a portion of the 10^500 foundation pillars, looking towards the infinite multidimensional world belonging to the Rebooters.

The Returning Void was unaware that the reason he hadn't discovered the actions of the Divine Creation Micro-Element was because, while he had left the Returning Void to conduct the Returning Void experiment in the KBC Great Void, the Divine Creation Micro-Element had secretly replaced a portion of the "cosmic foundation" with a part of the infinite micro-manifold it controlled.

After an unknown amount of time, the Divine Creation Micro-Element, located in the infinite depths of the microcosm, murmured a sentence.

"Hmph, so many years have passed, and these two have made some progress, but that's all. They've even made a mess of the universe like this. It seems the plan needs to be moved up!"
