From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 156 My World!

Once You Ming's spirits had recovered somewhat, he was able to focus on observing the mirage he had forcibly seized.

【Mirage of Myriad Realms】!
The mirage floated silently in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness. At this moment, it had shrunk to the size of an ordinary building. But it could also expand without limit at any time.

It is both one and ten thousand.

"It does resemble an illusion, but unfortunately I don't practice illusions, which is a waste."

Looking at the mirage, You Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Magnificent, ever-changing, and mesmerizing—this is the way of illusion.

In comparison, the [River of Oblivion] and the [Ember of Worldly Wishes] are more suitable.

But just as he tried to use his divine sense to touch a corner of the building, he saw something incredible.

In the void, countless runes intertwined and then transformed into a stream of water, which truly flowed out from the mirage.

You Ming reached out and grabbed, and the water wet his palm and dripped down his hand.

"A hallucination?"

A skillful illusion can make it impossible for you to distinguish between reality and illusion, because it is itself a part taken from reality.

But the next moment, with You Ming forcefully stirring, the stream of water suddenly transformed into countless runes and vanished into the void.

With a subconscious thought, You Ming formed a ball of flame from a large number of runes. The flame then dissipated and combined into a ball of sand, which flowed down from You Ming's fingertips.

"If it's an illusion, this is far too complex, as if it starts from the very root of the world and combines to form the fundamental substances of the world."

"Could it be..."

Youming's consciousness slowly rotated, and countless runes emerged beneath him, combining to form a stream of water. Mountains rose up all around him, and the temperature of the void began to rise.

You Ming had a guess in his mind. If it was an illusion, then there was no need to consider many things. Illusions are fake, so it doesn't matter if you set the fire to be cold.

However, if the essence of this mirage is to weave a world, then it cannot function if there is any logical inconsistency in any part of it.

"Pong."

The next moment, however, all the matter in front of You Ming collapsed and turned back into countless runes, which then dissipated into the void.

"really……"

You Ming understood. This mirage was created by a powerful being who used heaven and earth as the fabric, cause and effect as the warp, and time and space as the weft. It could weave countless real worlds, but all the data in it needed to be self-consistent.

Every brick, every tile, every blade of grass, every tree embodies cause and effect and the meaning of Tao.

One must have a profound understanding of the world in order to "borrow the false to cultivate the true" and weave together a realistic world.

Just now, You Ming tried to weave a world with a mirage, but his understanding of the world was too shallow, and he hadn't even begun to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.

Comprehending the rules is a level beyond the Dharma form; he is still far from that.

You Ming was feeling conflicted. Although he had only glimpsed a corner of the mirage, it was enough to prove its power. With the help of this underlying structure, it could be transformed in countless ways.

However, to some extent, this is also a very useless ability.

Even if he were to melt it down now, he wouldn't be able to use it, let alone construct a complete world. He wouldn't even be able to construct a very small scene. Even the smallest scene involves a massive amount of data changes. For example, when you adjust the temperature, the temperature rise will definitely be different for different objects under different conditions.

As water falls due to gravity, you need to calculate the trajectory of each drop that impacts the surface.

This thing is not something an ordinary cultivator can handle.

Unless I ignore all the messy stuff and only keep the most basic modules, like building blocks, like...

Just like... Minecraft!
Just as You Ming was about to give up on [Mirage of Myriad Realms], a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He stared blankly at the mirage, feeling as if he had grasped something.

Minecraft is a game based on Earth that uses modular design to highly simplify and abstract reality, thereby enabling controllable creativity.

But it is precisely this high degree of abstraction that makes its rules exceptionally simple, because its own settings only have a few characteristics, and then you just need to stack the rest of the blocks.

Thinking of this, You Ming immediately became interested. In his previous life, as a game planner, he was quite interested in manually creating games in a fantasy world.

As his thoughts raced, blank squares of terrain unfolded slowly beneath his feet like a chessboard.

As soon as he had a thought, a brownish-yellow block of earth suddenly fell from the void. Visually, it was coarse with a uniform texture. Using his divine soul perception, he could not detect any spiritual energy fluctuations or any special effects.

Even when he touched it, there was no weight or tactile response.

The more characteristics you assign to it, the larger the variables will be in the final calculation.

This clod of earth is nothing in the outside world, but in this highly abstract world, it is a clod of earth.

As You Ming's thoughts raced, more and more clods of earth fell down, and You Ming spread them out on the ground, creating the land.

Between the earth modules are blue squares. A single square represents a water module, several arranged in a square form a pond, and a long strip of squares forms a river.

The clear pixelated water flows quietly, neither fast nor slow, after all, it only has a few very simple concepts.

Following the example of the game "Minecraft", Youming set up some basic modules, such as dirt, plants, water, metal, and stone, and then began to construct the "spiritual energy module".

The most basic five elements of spiritual energy are actually cubes, just smaller particles. They have fewer inherent properties; for example, wood energy is associated with growth, fire energy with destruction, and earth energy with stability, and so on.

How then can these five elements of spiritual energy be compiled and transformed into countless spells or supernatural powers?

In the game, there is a system called the "Redstone System," which is a game mechanic that uses analog circuits and logic gates to allow players to create various automated devices and complex mechanical structures.

For example, redstone dust is similar to an electrical wire used to transmit redstone signals, redstone torches can provide a continuous redstone signal, and redstone repeaters are used to enhance signal strength, delay signal transmission, and create one-way circuits, etc.

You Ming also decided to imitate this and create a Xianxia version of the Redstone system.

For example, if we abstract the spellcasting process highly, it can be roughly divided into the following steps: energy transfer, logical operation, and causal execution.

In terms of specific execution, it can be basically divided into: spiritual energy introduction, law relay tower group, comparator purification system, storage system, execution terminal matrix, etc.

Let's try building the most basic fireball spell first.

You Ming stroked his chin, completely absorbed in the game.
