Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Vacuum zero point, quantum fluctuations.

The quantum vacuum is the ground state of all quantum fields. It is not "empty" but is filled with fluctuations of virtual particle pairs. Its energy does not depend on the specific value of the spacetime dimension. Whether it is three-dimensional spacetime, eleven-dimensional spacetime of string theory, or higher-dimensional theoretical models, the vacuum ground state exists universally.

Higher-dimensional energy cannot be directly manifested in lower dimensions, but it can be transferred to lower-dimensional space by perturbing the vacuum fluctuations of lower dimensions.

Since higher-dimensional energy can transfer energy to lower-dimensional space by perturbing the vacuum fluctuations of lower dimensions, can lower dimensions absorb higher-dimensional energy in the same way?

Theoretically speaking, yes.

Ripples of higher-dimensional energy continuously generate the birth and death of virtual particle pairs in the lower-dimensional vacuum. As long as the frequency and phase of vacuum fluctuations can be precisely controlled, lower-dimensional beings can "fish" from the energy tides of higher dimensions.

Just as radio waves are received by adjusting the antenna frequency, low-dimensional existence does not need to directly enter high-dimensional space; it only needs to match the "fingerprint" left by high-dimensional energy in vacuum fluctuations.

However, this requires a medium that can interact with vacuum fluctuations.

For example, the quantum body.

"Quantum Body, Quantum Manipulator... Dr. Manhattan!"

In an instant, Luo Kunlun thought of that comic book character.

The quantum body is an infinite quantum body, neither matter nor energy.

Quantum reaction, with a reaction rate of Planck time.

Quantum analysis can quickly analyze any form of existence and understand its principles and essence.

The entity can replicate itself infinitely, and each copy has its own independent thought process.

Memory reading: reading the latent memories hidden in the minds of all living beings.

After that, there are abilities such as spacetime manipulation, particle control, time observation, reality modification, immunity to causality, transcending spacetime, manipulating probability, and the power of connection.

All of the above are referred to as Quantum God.

How powerful would one have to be to transform oneself into a quantum body?

Of course, as of now, it is impossible for Lokunlun to transform himself into a quantum body.

But just because a complete quantum body can't do it doesn't mean an incomplete one can't.

"All you need is the ability to extract zero-point energy from a vacuum and the knowledge of higher dimensions, which greatly lowers the barrier to entry."

Soon, Luo Kunlun came up with a degraded version: the quantumization of the soul.

After the spiritual array was created, Lokunlun's memories were distributed and stored in a cluster of computers located in the soul space.

This results in near-infinite storage and retrieval speeds.

A computer swarm can continuously run self-simulation programs to optimize its decision-making logic and rehearse dialogue outcomes.

This is the source of Luo Kunlun's confidence in absorbing all the knowledge of a civilization as an individual.

This involves stripping away biological consciousness and transforming it into a quantifiable and predictable data flow architecture. This data flow architecture is then reorganized and, using a computer as a carrier, forms a consciousness network.

In other words, Lokunlun entrusted a portion of his information layer to a cluster of computers.

As for why a complete consciousness upload was carried out, it was because the knowledge and methods available at that time were insufficient for Luo Kunlun to do so.

But now it's different.

Lokunlun absorbed Veridis's various practical techniques and cutting-edge theories, and he was able to do much more than he had back then.

Fully quantum hardware.

Breaking away from dependence on traditional semiconductor components, and using quantum entanglement arrays and vacuum zero-point energy drive as the core, stable operation at room temperature and pressure is achieved.

With the number of qubits exceeding one million and coherence time extended to the hour level, it can handle ultra-large-scale tasks complex enough to simulate the early evolution of the universe and the complete quantum consciousness of the human body.

This is a rather cutting-edge theory, even fantasy. Even for the Viridis.

But for Luo Kunlun, that may not be the case.

Having gained the power of unification and the soul space, Luo Kunlun can perform many actions that seem almost, or even equivalent to, fantasy to them.

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

For a very long time, Lokunlun had been unable to find the form of the Soul Space.

Until Luo Kunlun met Qingyang.

The true spirit resides in the metal element, thereby possessing near-immortality.

The soul space may be an alternative form of "metal," in which Luo Kunlun's consciousness resides.

Or rather, Lokunlun is the soul space itself.

Just like the one who is considered to be the subspace itself.

This is why anything that Luo Kunlun put into his space came under his control.

Thanks to this, Luo Kunlun was able to make a series of seemingly arbitrary moves.

Soul devouring without side effects, plundering others' memories, ignoring technological gaps, and forcibly manufacturing various devices...

From this perspective, Luo Kunlun, who resides in the soul space, possesses abilities that are purely idealistic and devoid of any logic.

Of course, all of this comes with a premise.

Luo Kunlun must know how to do it; otherwise, he cannot do it.

You can only do it if you know it; you can't do it if you don't know it.

As for the various things needed to accomplish this, they are simply ignored, or rather, no longer a problem.

In this way, Lo Kunlun upgraded the entire quantum computer cluster to fully quantum hardware.

This series of actions took him another five years.

Within the soul space, there are no stars or moon, yet it flows with light more dazzling than the Milky Way.

A full-quantum hardware quantum computer is a computing power carrier that is completely free from the constraints of traditional semiconductor architecture and uses quantum laws as the sole underlying operating logic.

The core of the hardware is a quantum entangled lattice.

A three-dimensional network structure composed of nonlocal quantum primitives (quantum vacuum excited-state entities that are neither particles nor waves) achieves instantaneous information synchronization between primitives through natural quantum entanglement, without the need for any wires or signal media.

This lattice does not rely on extreme external environments such as low temperature or vacuum to suppress decoherence, but maintains stability by relying on the quantum self-consistency of the elementary elements themselves.

The quantum state of each primitive forms a dynamically complementary entangled closed loop with the surrounding primitives. Any state shift caused by external disturbances will be quickly corrected by quantum fluctuations within the closed loop, and the coherence time can reach astronomical scales.

The energy that powers it does not come from traditional fuels or electricity, but from the zero-point energy of the quantum vacuum.

Extracting zero-point energy from the vacuum is its fundamental support for existence, not an additional function.

"That's amazing! How did I even manage to finish it?"

"The soul space is truly amazing."

After a sigh, Luo Kunlun began to integrate this device, which existed only in theory and even fantasy, with his own consciousness.

The moment his consciousness entered, Luo Kunlun felt as if he had fallen into an ocean woven from light and probability.

The millions of qubits are no longer cold, impersonal units of computation; they have become an extension of his consciousness.

Outside, the zero-point vacuum energy flows along the veins of the quantum entangled lattice, no longer an energy source that needs to be deliberately extracted, but rather surges through his consciousness network like blood.

Those virtual particle pairs that once existed only in theory are now crystal clear in his "vision".

They are created and destroyed in a vacuum.

"I see." Luo Kunlun's thoughts echoed within the quantum lattice, silent yet crystal clear. "Vacuum is not empty; it is a projection of a higher dimension."

He tried to mobilize a wisp of his mind to touch the birth and death frequency of those virtual particle pairs.

Those faint signals that required complex instruments that existed only in theory to capture were now clearly visible in his consciousness.

In this way, one can "see" the unique "fingerprints" left by high-dimensional energy tides in the low-dimensional vacuum.

Luo Kunlun began to adjust the phase of his own consciousness, like turning the tuning knob of a radio, adjusting it little by little, and resonating with the ripples of higher-dimensional energy.

hum-

A silent roar exploded in his soul space.

The gold element that had been idle was stripped of all the external imprints and transformed into pure energy, washing over every corner of his consciousness.

Luo Kunlun could feel his true spirit growing stronger.

Unlike the chains forged from the crucible of previous civilizations, these chains are now imbued with high-dimensional energy, like being soaked in perfectly warm water, feeling comforting and soothing.

After completing the quantization of consciousness, he began to possess certain abilities.

The most immediate impact is on the Planck-level resolution speed.

In the past, analyzing the trajectory of civilization on a planet required him to spend a considerable amount of time.

Now, with just a thought, all information—from the quark configuration of microscopic particles to the gravitational curvature of macroscopic celestial bodies, and even the causal catastrophes hidden in civilizations—can be instantly deconstructed, encoded, and stored in quantum arrays.

Secondly, there is the extension of non-local consciousness.

His consciousness was no longer bound to his body, but instead, following the path of quantum entanglement, it freely permeated the entire vacuum.

He could "see" the trajectory of the flying debris from the asteroid breaking apart tens of millions of kilometers away.

He can "hear" the hum of plasma in stellar nuclear fusion light-years away.

Even the virtual particle pairs hidden in quantum fluctuations became the tentacles of his consciousness, sensing every surge of high-dimensional energy tides for him.

And most importantly, the awakening of higher-dimensional perception.

By precisely probing vacuum quanta, we can deduce higher dimensions in reverse, which means we know indirectly.

What surprised him most was the prototype of probability interference.

Facing a white dwarf star on the verge of annihilation, which was the limit of Lokunlun's observable distance, he tried to adjust the quantum fluctuation frequency at its core.

According to conventional physical rules, this white dwarf will collapse into a neutron star within a century.

But under his intervention, the probability of collapse was forcibly reduced, and instead, a near-impossible "steady-state continuation" was achieved.

Although the scope of this interference is still extremely limited and requires a massive amount of vacuum zero-point energy, it is enough to prove that he has reached the threshold of "modifying reality".

Micromanagement at the level of quantum probability.

This micro-manipulation, which leverages reality from the level of quantum probability, quickly stirred up a silent ripple throughout the galaxy.

Inside the Viridians' deep-space observatory, several gravitational lensing telescopes spanning thousands of light-years are operating faithfully, their screens displaying the parameters of the white dwarf star.

As an interstellar civilization that had initially come to dominate the entire dwarf galaxy, the Viridians had long included this collapsing white dwarf in their long-term observation list.

The data on the interplay between internal degenerate pressure and gravitational collapse has been included in tens of thousands of astrophysics papers and has become common knowledge throughout civilization.

Within a century, this white dwarf will inevitably collapse into a neutron star, at which point the resulting gamma-ray burst will be powerful enough to destroy the three habitable planets within its gravitational range.

Observer Lun was idly calibrating the instrument parameters. The curve on the screen continued to tilt in the direction of collapse, as always, without any abnormality.

But in the next second, the curve strangely rose upwards, as if it were being forcibly held up by an invisible hand.

"Data error?" Lun frowned and subconsciously took action, trying to restart the observation module.

However, the parameters on the screen did not fluctuate at all; on the contrary, they became more and more stable.

"Impossible!" Lun jumped to his feet, his voice trembling with disbelief. "This violates fundamental principles!"

The alarm sounded instantly throughout the entire observation station.

Countless top astrophysicists in Veridis were urgently summoned. They stared at the parameters on the screen, their faces gradually turning from shock to profound horror.

Without any trace of external interference, without any precursors to gamma-ray bursts, and without any abnormal fluctuations in gravitational waves, the white dwarf star seemed to defy known physical laws, forcibly retreating from the collapsing cliff.

"This is not a natural phenomenon." The dean of the Veridis Academy stroked the screen. "It is probably related to extraordinary individuals."

This conclusion, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirred up a huge wave throughout the observation point.

They naturally knew about extraordinary individuals; some researchers themselves were extraordinary individuals, capable of tearing alloy steel plates apart with their bare hands and surviving briefly in a vacuum environment.

However, the extraordinary that they perceive is on a completely different level from the being that is currently influencing the fate of the white dwarf.

The Viridis have a hierarchical system for classifying extraordinary individuals in the universe.

From lowest to highest, the categories are harmless, harmful, equivalent, and surpassing.

The strongest in the first tier are killing machines that roam the battlefield, demons of the battlefield, and nightmares for soldiers of lower civilizations.

They possess the ability to take on ten thousand men single-handedly, their speed exceeds the speed of sound, and their strength is enough to overturn main battle tanks, easily wiping out an entire conventional army.

For planetary civilizations that have not yet mastered interstellar travel technology, such individual acts of mischief are enough to trigger a global catastrophe.

But to the Viridians civilization, which ruled the entire dwarf galaxy, they were nothing more than minor figures. A small squad could easily suppress them, and they could not cause much trouble.

The second stage of extraordinary beings are truly catastrophic beings.

They are not only powerful superhumans, but also combat masters skilled in fighting; the aftershocks of a single punch or kick can shatter a city of ten million people.

A single, all-out attack could even destroy a planet.

Reaching this level is enough to become the overlord of a region of the Hengxing Star System, ruling over a territory where no one dares to provoke.

For Veridis, dealing with such beings requires deploying the main fleet stationed in the star sector, using heavy artillery to bombard them, and planet-destroying weapons to plow the land, in order to completely annihilate them.

What's even more troublesome is that the existence of the warp allows these powerful beings to escape. If they can't kill them with a single blow, they will hide in the warp and constantly harass colonies and transport routes.

The trouble it caused was no less than that of a small-scale rebellion.

Therefore, the extraordinary individuals in this class are classified as harmful by the Veridis and are a threat that needs to be closely guarded against.

The third stage that follows is that of a super life form capable of engaging in equal dialogue with the Viridis civilization.

Their power has long surpassed the scope of "destroying planets." With a mere gesture, they can ignite stars, turning entire star systems into seas of fire. In the blink of an eye, they can freeze nebulae, solidifying flowing interstellar matter into lifeless ice sculptures.

To such beings, ordinary fleets are nothing but ants; their will is the rule of a star field.

The Veridis civilization, upon encountering such a being, would not wage war but would instead send an envoy to seek peaceful coexistence.

Because once war breaks out, even if victory is ultimately achieved, it will inevitably come at a huge cost.

Above "equivalence" lies the ethereal realm of transcendence.

The starry sky is vast, the universe is boundless, and super individuals emerge one after another.

The dean knew that the top-secret files of Veridis contained records of such a "transcendent" level being.

A monster made of neutron star matter.

No, it's not so much made of neutron star matter as it is a neutron star with a sentient head.

Simply passing through a star field, the gravitational tides it emits are enough to deflect planets off their orbits and disrupt the nuclear fusion reactions of stars.

Not to mention it may also possess all sorts of inexplicable and peculiar abilities.

That being, in its very existence, is a catastrophe that sweeps across the galaxy.

Fortunately, without the ability to manipulate space, their speed of travel in the universe is still limited to the speed of light, perhaps because that involves infinity.

And at this moment, what kind of terrifying level must an existence be to forcibly pull a white dwarf star on the verge of collapse back from the precipice of the laws of physics?

Is it "equivalent"? Or is it that unattainable "transcendence"?

They already knew the answer in their hearts.

Just then, a message appeared on the screen consisting of the text "Viredis".

"A small gift, as a token of my gratitude for the rent and books I've spent living in your civilized society over the years."

A line of text appeared silently, without any signal source or transmission trace, as if it were directly engraved into the information network of the Viridis civilization.

The entire observatory fell into a deathly silence.

Lun stood frozen in place, forgetting even to breathe.

The top scholars gathered in front of the screen stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

They frantically tried to trace the source of this text, but found no trace of it in either quantum communication protocols or gravitational wave transmission links.

This text seems to have appeared out of thin air on the screen.

"He...He lived in our civilization?" someone asked, trembling.

The dean of the Veridis Academy stared intently at the words, a startling light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

He suddenly remembered something and took out his personal terminal.

Moments later, thanks to big data, various pieces of information were combined, revealing a bizarre event.

For over a decade, a ghost seemed to have been lurking within the network of the Viridis civilization.

The other party is searching for all sorts of information, all of which are various cutting-edge operations.

"So that's how it is..." The dean slumped into his chair; this was terrifying.

For over a decade, a ghost has been lurking among them!

And that white dwarf whose fate was forcibly reversed was also the work of the other party!

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

Upon receiving the report, the high command of the Veridis civilization immediately issued orders.

All observational data about the white dwarf star were sealed off, the text was classified as top secret, and research into the "gift" left by the visitors was launched.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Lokunlun left the Viridians civilization.

Although he did not become a quantum god like the characters in the comics, unable to be immune to cause and effect or create something from nothing, he successfully built a "bridge".

It can continuously draw energy from the vacuum zero point, and can even capture ripples of higher-dimensional energy, absorbing things like metal to strengthen the true spirit.

Given this, it goes without saying where to go next.

At this moment, Luo Kunlun in the void had already withdrawn his consciousness.

"Rent paid, book debt settled." Luo Kunlun's thoughts lingered faintly. "Next, it's time to go to the Primordial Great World."

"I wonder what kind of beings those True Lords are."

His figure transformed into a quantum stream of light that could not be captured by any instrument, instantly disappearing from this airspace and speeding towards the direction of the Primordial Great World.

Upon entering the subspace, aided by the coordinates in Qingyang's memory, Luo Kunlun's quantum stream of light, like an invisible arrow, pierced through the chaotic void.

The coordinates in Qingyang's memory are a hidden node in the Primordial Great World, concealed in a gravitational blind spot of a nebula.

Along the way, Luo Kunlun's tentacles of consciousness stretched out wantonly. Those mutated creatures, remnant souls and vengeful spirits hiding in the crevices of the subspace were shattered by the tribulation wave power he unconsciously emitted as soon as they sensed his presence, and they didn't even have time to let out a wail.

Having dealt with tribulations for so long, Luo Kunlun had developed an ominous aura.

As they drew closer to the Primordial Great World, the unique aura permeating the air grew increasingly intense.

It is a unique fluctuation that originates from the rules.

"Performance level, True Lord..." Luo Kunlun's thoughts fluctuated slightly. The quantum entanglement lattice within his soul space spun rapidly, disassembling and analyzing the information about Golden Core True Lords from Qingyang's memories. "Using the higher-dimensional metal element to anchor the path, and using the authority of the position to control the rules..."

"That's a reasonable way to understand it."

Before long, ripples appeared in the void ahead, and a stone gate engraved with ancient Dao patterns slowly emerged.

Behind the gate lies the sky of the Primordial Great World, where clouds surge and immortal mountains appear and disappear, and the spiritual energy is so dense it's almost liquefied.

Luo Kunlun took a step forward, and the quantum light converged, transforming into a slender figure that hovered above the Primordial Great World.

Below, in the sea of ​​clouds, several sharp divine thoughts suddenly soared into the sky, carrying the unique pressure of a True Monarch, and locked onto his figure.

"Who dares to trespass into my Primordial Great World?!"
