Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

"Inhale, exhale—"

"Inhale, exhale—"

Xia Jie leaned against the wall at the alley entrance, her eyes unfocused, panting heavily.

Despite being perfectly healthy, the huge disparity in his strength caused him to have the psychological illusion that he was now extremely weak.

If we have to be honest, for a powerful being who can dominate the multiverse, falling to the level of an ordinary person is indeed a form of weakness.

What would it feel like to be forced into a world with completely different rules without considering compatibility?

The answer is: a dream, a bubble.

In the blink of an eye, everything vanishes.

According to Xia Jie's prediction, if force is likened to air in a bubble, then the laws of physics are the water film in the bubble, and the worldview is the surface tension necessary for the existence of the "bubble" as a physical form.

After transmigrating, as a multi-dimensional bubble, even though he would turn back into air due to the disappearance of tension, he could still build a hard shell that did not rely on tension, thus avoiding the dissipation of his own power.

Even if this process results in the loss of 99% of the power, it doesn't matter; an infinite 1% is still infinite.

Out of caution, he suspected the reality might be even worse.

For example, the world is a book, and a book is a world.

Strength is like the words on a book page; the more words there are, the greater the "quantity" of strength; the more beautiful the words, the higher the "quality" of strength.

The laws of physics are the ink itself, and the system of force is the pen that draws the ink. Without ink and pen, writing is out of the question.

However, given Xia Jie's abilities, creating his own writing materials and composing his own texts would be a piece of cake.

As for worldview, it is the concept of a book itself. In fact, this issue is not that big. Xia Jie's idealistic power is fully capable of bearing the responsibility of a book.

After all his theoretical discussions, Xia Jie resolutely chose to learn through practice. And after personally experiencing it, Xia Jie unsurprisingly suffered a severe setback.

The real problem is that the underlying worldviews of different worlds have narrative-level differences, and he is merely a phantom within the narrative, a prisoner of the narrative.

It wasn't about going from bubble to bubble, or from book to book; it was about his grandmother discovering during her college entrance exam that she received an alien exam paper that she couldn't even understand!

My worldview is a bubble, your worldview is a book, and his worldview is a piece of music. We simply don't have anything in common.

Xia Jie hadn't expected that the space's "language proficiency" included this.

While traversing through time, he must use his idealism to stop his own disappearance and strive to complete his observation of the world.

Starting with light that looks like electromagnetic waves but is no longer electromagnetic waves, he gradually sees and understands, until he barely masters the C language of this world and creates a human body that can function normally in this world.

God knows why this universe, which has light, water, humans, land, sky, and stars, and seems similar to the normal universe, has such different physical laws.

He's practically a fake person who looks like a human, but is nothing but an unknown entity beneath the surface!

After the human body is constructed and the five senses are restored, the power of idealism rapidly diminishes.

He should have realized sooner that his mental power was not truly "subjective idealism," but rather derived from a unique power system based on worldviews such as the Curse Return, and was an "objective idealism" based on worldviews.

Subjective idealism is the belief that if I think I can do it, I definitely can do it. It is true omnipotence, transcending the paradox of omnipotence within logic and being omnipotent above all logic.

Objective idealism, on the other hand, is based on the belief that I can do it and that my conviction is strong enough. Within the scope of my worldview, I can achieve it through sheer force, the limit of which is pseudo-omnipotence within the bounds of logic.

The former is me being my own master, the latter is the rules supporting me to be my own master.

Idealism based on a worldview will naturally be lost after leaving the original world.

Fortunately, Junji Itō's universe worldview acknowledges the power of the human mind to some extent, allowing Natsuki to retain a small amount of idealistic power compatible with that worldview.

Although extremely faint, but...

"That's enough!"

He helped Xia Jie, who had caught her breath, stand up straight and gave her a confident smile.

As long as he doesn't fall to the ground and immediately get trapped, he can still steam.

Absolutely, it's easy!

Xia Jie looked up and saw a live interview with Nobel laureate "Dr. Big Black" on a large screen between the flying hovercars.

Regardless of whether it's worth criticizing that this universe also has Nobel Prize winners, Xia Jie still managed to find information about Dr. Dahei—the female protagonist's father—from her brain, which had a large number of memories sealed due to limited hardware.

Now, the "Hell Planet" storyline begins. Perhaps because it has changed from a single theater to a multiverse, the story still begins in 2021 AD, but the level of technology is more advanced than the scene in his memory.

On screen, the dialogues between Big Black and others remain largely unchanged:

"Dr. Big Black, I heard that an unknown planet appeared in the wormhole you discovered 30 years ago."

"That planet came from another dimension, right?"

A man asked excitedly.

"Yes, I once predicted the existence of a wormhole in a corner of the Hydra constellation in the Milky Way..."

Wearing round-framed glasses, the young, dark-skinned Dr. Dahei, with a normal hairline, adjusted his glasses, his eyes filled with the same excitement as those in the audience.

His daughter, "Limina," standing beside him, pursed her lips, clearly feeling uneasy under the spotlight.

"...The planet's orbit is quite bizarre...In short, the discovery of this planet is a major event for the physics community..."

Having no intention of listening any further, Xia Jie turned and left after completing the initial comparison of the conversation and confirming that the general direction of the plot would not change.

He had a super-efficient version of the story in his mind that would follow.

Remina is the female protagonist who appears throughout the entire Hell Star arc.

As a child, Rina became introverted after her mother passed away.

From Xia Jie's perspective, while she was introverted and silent, her subsequent behavior was somewhat reminiscent of a fairy.

In 1991, Dr. Daikoku, Remina's father, discovered wormholes.

In 2005, Hellstar arrived in this universe, but it was not observed by humans due to the delay in the speed of light.

In 2021, Dr. Dahei observed a strange planet emerging from a wormhole and was awarded the Nobel Prize.

Because the day Hellstar appeared was his daughter's birthday, and because the observed Hellstar was exactly 16 light-years from Earth, he named this unnamed planet after his daughter, Limena.

Rem-Na star.

Yes, Hellstar is the name given by the comic book author, not by the character in the artwork, just like the protagonist in the movie The Shawshank Redemption isn't named Shawshank.

After that, Rimei became famous, and the attention from passersby made her feel overwhelmed.

Over the course of two years, Hellstar moved at varying speeds, sometimes faster than light and sometimes less than light, and planets in the areas it passed through mysteriously disappeared.

Actually, it was eaten.

2023 October.

The story can be summarized as "Just because I glanced at you once in the universe~".

Hellstar, sensing Earth's observation, opened its eyes, ignoring the delay caused by the speed of light, and made eye contact with the observer before turning and heading straight for the solar system.

The news broke that, under the pressure of the impending apocalypse, powerful and wealthy people who thought they had a way out were building spaceship yo-yos.

Desperate citizens immediately activated their Overlord's Will to hunt down the father and daughter, believing that if they killed them, Hellstar would spare Earth.

The female protagonist survives multiple near-death experiences with the help of several "protectors," while her father, Dr. Dahei, is treated like a medieval science student and is stabbed to death on a cross by a fanatical cultist.

In July 2023, the living planet Hellstar arrived in its loyal solar system.

It first ate other planets like candy, then stretched out its long tongue and licked the surface repeatedly like licking an Oreo before swallowing what it considered the most delicious Earth.

Because humans lack the ability to survive in space, the powerful and wealthy landed on Hellstar in their spaceships, only to discover in despair that the environment there was completely unsuitable for human habitation.

Faced with a hellish environment similar to Katachon in Warhammer, they, being mere mortals, all typed "GG" in despair.

As for the main characters, led by Remina, they survive in a nuclear-proof underground cabin that, for some reason, did not fall apart or leak air in space, and can survive for a few more days with limited food and oxygen.

They resigned themselves to their fate in despair, praying for a miracle to happen.

The above is the main plot of Hellstar, omitting most of the details and side quests.

In short, if Earth could block humanity's ability to observe space in 2021, when Hellstar was first revealed, it might be able to survive by sheer luck.

Although Xia Jie has been severely weakened by differences in worldviews, and the Heavenly Demon Law of Self-Transformation needs to be rewritten due to differences in physical rules, if he patiently waits a few months to complete the Heavenly Demon Law, he can still beat up the multiverse.

It's just too slow.

How many tragedies can happen in just a few months across the multiverse?

The answer is endless.

However, if he reactivates the "worldview integration" function, he will lose the opportunity to train.

Perhaps a compromise could be reached: he could adopt a more radical approach to growth and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Xia Jie, who faces south, doesn't have a strong sense of saving the world. Right now, he's even willing to let all living beings suffer for a few more days.

He felt like he was now like Spider-Man possessed by Venom, corrupted but not completely corrupted.

"Then let's first locate 'Long Dream' and 'Vortex'. Hell Star, see you later."

Xia Jie gazed at the sky, looking towards the direction of Hydra, and used her limited mental energy to distract herself by writing instructions, starting a command loading process that lasted for several minutes.

To be fair, this inherently bizarre and neurotic universe is surprisingly tolerant of his actions.

If the previous "Sun and Moon in Conjunction" was a legitimate world of science and technology, then this is a world of amazing people and amateur scientists. Any remote, secluded village can create something astonishing like an ether perpetual motion machine. Even Kyubey would be envious.

In short, the combination of Mind Power and the Law of Heaven is extremely useful in this world. Even if there are hundreds of errors, big and small, in the code of the instructions, you can just use Mind Power to fix them and they will run normally.

While achieving high-volume performances is difficult, pulling off some harmless tricks in the hundreds of millions is certainly achievable, such as—

"Command: Wormhole Travel, Target: Parallel World: Long Dream Chapter".

A few days was still too painful for the poor wretch in the Long Dream arc, who had nightmares for decades and even dreamt of an eternal nightmare. It was comparable to the five-hundred-million-year button in the comic before his time travel.

Lao Xia felt somewhat sorry for them and decided to send a few people from the metaverse to rescue the poor souls who were in such dire straits.
