Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

Based on the information he obtained in his previous life, he made a fairly in-depth deduction about the truth of this world, which is why he dared to directly contact the Star God.

"That's true."

Heita nodded.

The Amber Era is a calendar system based on Cripper's First Hammer. Although it is only a deduced time, the error is not too large.

Regardless of what happened in the past, the calendar that Cripper created himself would not go wrong on the same coordinate system.

"2157 Amber Calendar, which translates to at most 500,000 years."

Following the answer given by the Black Tower, Su Mo deduced the following fact.

"In other words, even one of the oldest known star gods is at most only 500,000 years old."

Five hundred thousand years old is a considerable number in the ordinary world. Even the gods in the world of Godslayer are generally only a few thousand years old. The Star God is a hundred times older.

However, compared to a cosmic-scale stage, this timeframe is far too short.

According to Earth's calendar, humans left Africa 100,000 years ago, established civilizations only 10,000 years ago, and the oldest tribal gods were only a little over 10,000 years old. Based on this timeframe, the average age of the gods born is several thousand years, which is a very reasonable figure.

However, for an interstellar society, hundreds of thousands of years is too short a time.

The universe was born more than 10 billion years ago, and terrestrial planets were born at least several billion years ago.

The Star Iron world is not lacking in civilizations that have existed for millions of years.

On such a vast timescale, 500,000 years is but a fleeting moment.

"As such a young being, the Star God immediately possesses power that can influence the entire universe, and there are more than one similar being... Don't you have any doubts about this?"

Su Mo raised this point of doubt.

In the preceding 13.7 billion years, not a single being emerged capable of influencing the entire universe. Yet, in the recent span of less than 500,000 years, so many Star Gods have suddenly appeared.

The beings capable of shaking the framework of the universe have all emerged in such a short period of time.

For ordinary people, the existence of star gods may seem self-evident, like common sense or a rule of the universe. However, upon closer examination, one will discover their extreme irrationality.

Why do the Star Gods appear in this particular time period?

Why are they able to possess the power to influence the entire universe?

If the birth of a star god is natural, why didn't a single star god appear more than 10 billion years ago?

Upon hearing Su Mo's question, Hei Ta fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

A few seconds later, she spoke.

"There is a relatively niche hypothesis about the Star God, which holds that the Star God has existed from the very beginning."

“There are a few cases that show that the representative symbols of the Star Hunter God were discovered in the ancient times when the Immortal Ship Alliance had not yet left its home planet, but at that time, the Star Hunter God had not yet been born.”

The problems Su Mo pointed out could not be ignored, but her understanding of the Star God was equally extensive.

"If the Star Gods have always existed, and have only recently begun to manifest one by one for unknown reasons... well, although it's a stretch, it can explain why they possess power that influences the universe—they are self-existent and eternal beings."

At this point, Heita was not entirely satisfied with this far-fetched explanation, but she did not have a better one.

Su Mo shook his head at this explanation, expressing his disapproval.

"The study of the Star Gods should not only consider the changes of the Star Gods over time, but also the Star Gods' interference with time."

"For example, the End Star God, the End King, who travels in reverse time, can still travel back to the past even though he was born in the distant, devastating future. Other star gods may not be able to do this, but they are very likely to have the means to unconsciously influence time."

Upon hearing this, Black Tower pondered for a long time before asking in surprise.

"You mean, the miracles performed by the Star Gods before their birth were unconscious influences they exerted on the upstream of the river of time after their birth?"

Concepts involving time interference are often complex, but for her, this hypothesis had no comprehension threshold, only a slight challenge to her imagination.

According to Su Mo, the prehistoric relics of the Star-Hunting God were remnants formed after the birth of the Star-Hunting God through distant space-time sensing.

"That's right, this is basic procedure for gods."

Su Mo answered calmly, his expression showing that he was not surprised at all.

Strengthening one's existence by interfering with time, deepening one's imprint on the world, and enhancing one's power—this practice may be quite rare to those who do not understand it, but in the realm of mythology, it is basically the basic operation of developed mythologies.

Just like Zeus, the father of the gods, who was introduced earlier, by using predetermined fate and theological patches, the gods who were born later were packaged as the only gods who had been born long ago and had been secretly controlling all things in the world.

In this way, not only is the deity's presence in mythology greatly enhanced, but once this hypothesis is fully accepted, this deity could truly become the sole god who transcends all time and destiny... 0

Just as a fake becomes real, a god who was born later can become a "self-existent and eternal" being through this operation.

To transform a false hypothesis into a correct one.

In this field, the already successful Christianity clearly has more experience than the Greek mythology, which ultimately failed.

Given Su Mo's expertise in the field of mythology, he could see through the reason for this phenomenon at a glance.

"A very valuable hypothesis."

Even the Black Tower, after careful consideration, had to admit that Su Mo's theory was more likely.

It can not only reasonably explain the phenomenon of time travel, but also avoid falling into the trap of a catch-all theological explanation.

It has always existed in the universe, but for some reason it doesn't show itself... what's the difference between that and not existing at all!

"According to you, this phenomenon is merely one of the sources of interference from the Star Gods themselves to the universe. In other words, you also believe that the Star Gods are a newly emerging entity that has only appeared in the last few hundred thousand years?"

Realizing that Su Mo's thoughts were quite valuable, Black Tower pressed for more information with great interest.

Su Mo had previously said that it was unreasonable for a young Star God to suddenly rise to power beyond his limits.

Judging from his words, he still supports the fact that the Star God was born only a few hundred thousand years ago.

Aren't the two contradictory?

"That's right. The ascension of the Star Gods has many indelible records, and their explosive birth over the past few hundred thousand years is an undeniable fact."

Su Mo acknowledged this foundation, then changed the subject.

"Based on this fact, I have a rather simple question."

"So—did the Star God really appear out of thin air, without any origin, without any trace, and without any reason?"

"Or is it that its existence itself has some other foundation, and it just underwent a transformation under suitable conditions, eventually evolving into a force capable of interfering with the universe?"

Unlike ordinary evolution, transmutation refers to the phenomenon where a substance changes at an exponential rate in a very short period of time, eventually transforming into a completely different substance.

This change is more intense than a supernova explosion and takes less time than lightning.

That is a complete leap in the level of life.

For example, if Su Mo were to randomly select a wild bird that has not yet developed its intelligence, and directly bestow upon it the divine status of a unique god, thus transforming it into a supreme deity, the magnitude of such a change could barely be called a metamorphosis.

According to existing information or legends, the hunting star god Lan, the wise star god Boshizun, and the breeding star god Tayzyuros all met the conditions for transformation and ascended to the position of star god from ordinary mortals.

Although Lan's deeds are still controversial, the trajectories of the other Star Gods are not problematic.

While such things are not common in the macroscopic universe, similar phenomena are not uncommon in the microscopic universe.

The Black Tower was naturally no stranger to this.

"Transformation... that's certainly a valid term, but you're not referring to a simple ascension to godhood, are you?"

Black Tower stared directly into Su Mo's eyes. She keenly sensed that Su Mo's research target was not the Star God individual itself, but a more fundamental kind of power.

"Ah."

Su Mo nodded calmly.

"There's nothing much to study about the phenomenon of ascending to godhood. It's simply that an individual meets the conditions for the start of their destiny, is accepted by the position of a star god, and becomes the corresponding star god."

"In fact, as long as the same conditions are met, any individual can become a star god."

"Therefore, when studying the Star Gods, the individual Star God is not important; what is important is the Star God's position—where does this position itself come from?"

143 The Origins of the Star Gods and the Changes in Interstellar Civilization

Just as the core of a god's power is his divine nature, the power of a star god also has its core.

It is an existence akin to a godhood; whoever obtains the corresponding godhood can become the corresponding star god.

"How dare you say that!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, a strange light flashed in Black Tower's eyes.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I've taken a liking to Su Mo, nor do I have romantic feelings for him.

For a genius of her caliber, such basic physiological needs have long been insignificant. No matter how handsome Su Mo is, she would never fall into a love-struck state because of him.

Black Tower's gaze was entirely based on approval; it was the first time she had ever met someone even bolder than herself.

According to Su Mo, the God of Harmony is not necessarily Hipe, the God of Preservation is not necessarily Kripper, and the God of Joy is not necessarily Aha...

If this gets out, aside from the Masked Fool of the Pleasure faction who might not care too much, other forces loyal to the Star God will definitely come looking for trouble for Su Mo.

Even if we know that Su Mo's purely theoretical hypothesis is very likely correct, the same applies.

As a fellow traveler who also frequently makes outrageous statements, Black Tower greatly admires Su Mo's attitude.

This is what academic work should look like!

Companies like Interstellar Peace Company, which insist on this and that, completely lack the spirit of seeking truth from facts. How can they conduct scientific research like that?

"Do you have the right to criticize me on this point?"

Su Mo gave the Black Tower a slightly strange look.

He was just talking to Black Tower. Black Tower even investigated Black Tower's background in front of the Interstellar Peace Company. If she hadn't been a knowledgeable and respected envoy with many collaborations with the company, her investigation into the matter of protecting the Star God wouldn't have been so easy to quell.

"There's nothing we can do. There are always a lot of people looking for trouble. Anyway, you're strong enough. Even if those guys target you, it'll only be a little troublesome. They won't dare to lay a hand on you."

Black Tower shrugged, nonchalantly.

"I care more about your research than that."

"The power of the Star God comes from the Fate Path. The Star God himself has absolute control over the Fate Path. If you want to study the origin of the Star God's position, you must study the origin of the power of the Fate Path."
