I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

Lu Yun nodded, understanding what he meant, before speaking.

"Then you can say you know."

"it is good."

The voice seemed to be organizing its thoughts, and it took almost a minute before it spoke again.

"First of all, I need to make it clear that your knowledge and understanding are yours, not ours. I can only tell you in a way that you can understand. If you still don't understand after listening, then ask again. I don't have much time, so I'll keep it short."

He paused for only a second.

"The world is a general term. An era represents ten thousand centuries, which is 10,000 epochs. An epoch is 129,600 years long. It starts from zero and ends when ten thousand eras are completed, which is called an era."

"The term 'boundary' represents a realm. It is not length, time, or space. It represents the size of a lifetime, like a box. It is the same size at birth as it is at death, and its boundary is the realm. This may sound like length, but a boundary has no length because there are too many boundaries, and each boundary is different. You only need to understand it this way."

"The world is divided into the inner world, the outer world, and the real world."

"For example, there is a towering tree in front of you. The tree itself is the inner world, each trunk is the outer world, and each leaf is a small world. A tree as a whole makes up this world, while a forest makes up the world."

"In terms of time, one era of the world is equal to 10 current eras, 1000 intermediate eras, and 100000 outer eras."

"Do you understand now?"

Although Lu Yun was confused, he explained things in fairly detail.

"I understand. A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth."

"Oh? That's an interesting way to put it, and it's quite vivid, though the way of calculating time doesn't quite match up. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can understand it."

"Okay, next one. Worlds are not adjacent or in contact with each other, just like two big trees will not grow together. But if a world has a problem, it will have a problem from top to bottom."

This is not difficult to understand.

According to him, if there are problems with the forest, the trees will also have problems, and the trunks and leaves will naturally suffer as well.

However, listening to him, Lu Yun still felt that the world was too big.

It's impossible to estimate how many trees a forest has, but it's easy to have a concept of how many branches and leaves a single tree has, yet it's difficult to estimate.

The trunk is alright, but what about the leaves? They're not exactly endless, but they're practically gone too.

"So you mean there's something wrong with the world?"

"Yes, something is wrong with this world, but I don't know what's wrong, or maybe the memories are with them."

Lu Yun pondered for a moment.

"According to you, the world is in the ten-thousand-century era, which means it has a time limit, or a lifespan. Could this problem mean that the world's lifespan has come to an end?"

"no."

He answered decisively, without even hesitating.

"If you calculate time in the way you understand it, one day in heaven is one year on earth. If you can live for 100 years on earth, you can live for 100 years in heaven as well. An era seems short, but it is a very long time in the world. At least in my memory, no world has died because of time."

If it's not because of lifespan? Then what is it because of?

Hmm? Wait a minute?

Lu Yun's eyelids twitched as he suddenly realized something.

"No world dies because of time? What does that mean? Is there only one world?"

The voice paused for a moment, then asked a very philosophical question.

"How can you be sure there's only one forest?"

This……

Lu Yun was speechless; he truly couldn't answer that question.

The world may seem vast, but it is limited to "one person," and what "one person" sees ultimately cannot represent everything.

"Let alone a forest, even a single leaf varies in size, and it can grow and wither. Even gods cannot be certain of the size of a small world before they 'see' it. So who can say for sure if there is another forest outside this one?"

That made sense, and Lu Yun couldn't refute it.

"Then what kind of world am I in? This world or the outer world?"

"Small World"

"..."

Lu Yun fell silent, increasingly feeling that the world's philosophy was too absurd.

Knowing the universe, he was well aware that he couldn't just look at Blue Star as a single planet, but the universe was so vast that it could only be considered a small world.

How big is the outer world? How big is the inner world?

"So what exactly went wrong?"

"I don't know why, but the trees have already grown together."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun's expression immediately changed.

"The trees have grown together? You mean, the two worlds have merged?"

"You can understand it that way."

For some reason, Lu Yun thought of the Heavenly Fire Continent and the Four Directions City.

He had thought of a problem before.

Whether it's the Abyss Battlefield, the Inner Abyss Battlefield, or the City of Gods and Demons.

He discovered that to get to these places, he had to pass through a barrier to reach deeper areas. These deeper areas were like entering a house through doors, and now... it seemed he had already entered five doors.

Of course, it could also be other parallel houses, but this situation seems highly similar to what he said.

"What kind of world is the Heavenly Fire Continent?"

"A larger little world."

"..."

That continent, which was many times larger than the Blue Star when it was complete, was actually just a small world?

Lu Yun was silent for a few seconds, then told him his guess, and he answered immediately after listening.

"Your guess is correct. The trees have grown together, so the barrier between worlds is not so big. The merging of your world and the Heavenly Fire World may mean that you originally belonged to the same world, or it may mean that you belonged to different worlds."

"This is both a good thing and a bad thing."

That makes sense. The Heavenly Fire Continent is fragmented and lacks civilization. If Blue Star were to merge with it, it would benefit to some extent. However, if the other side has a civilization that is more powerful than Blue Star, it would be a disaster for Blue Star.

"Then which world do you belong to? This world or the other world?"

"Me? I don't belong to any particular world."

Not belonging to?

Then he...

"Alright, that's all I know. I don't know anything more. That stone tablet is a carrier of civilization. It doesn't belong to any one life or civilization. It's multifaceted and records many things. If you can decipher it, it will be helpful to you. But if you want to decipher it, you'll need to find the other eight carriers."

Is this considered a new task?

Lu Yun was both amused and exasperated.

"You mean there are eight other beings like you?"

"No, they all belong to me. I, and there is only one me."

These words were very philosophical, but fortunately Lu Yun understood them.

"Okay, I'll look for it. Is there anything else I need to do?"

"Find the world's problems and solve them, or you will not survive. In terms of your time, you have two years left."

Two years?

Lu Yun's expression hardened, and he felt an overwhelming pressure.

"You need to find them first, and then..."
