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

In Xia Jie's eyes, Junji Ito's multiverse is like a giant onion.

Each cell wall lattice of an onion's epidermis is a material universe.

The entire outer layer of an onion represents the material rules of the universe; one could say it is the outermost "reality" of the universe.

What Xia Jie is doing now is finding a cell grid and using a helical drill bit to drill from the outside in, like a well-digging machine.

With each deeper you delve, the essence of the world becomes clearer.

Xia Jie also discovered a pattern during her digging: the outermost layer of the world, the more hidden, complex, and fragile the rules of the world are; the innermost layer, the clearer, simpler, more solid, and harder to penetrate the rules of the world are.

Therefore, as the drilling went deeper, the drilling speed became slower and slower, from the initial drifting of a Wuling Hongguang on the mountain road to the later scene of an old lady crossing the road.

Although Xia Jie's power expands with each rotation of the spiral, in the face of more realistic and fundamental rules, the expansion of power has gradually lost to the quality of the rules.

Moreover, after penetrating the reality of light and darkness, Xia Jie unsurprisingly discovered that the "light-dark balance law" that allowed him to ascend to heaven with his left foot on his right was completely ineffective.

The underlying rules support the surface rules, but the rules at the upper level cannot take effect in the deeper layers of reality.

From this point on, Xia Jie's digging speed became as slow as a download speed on a certain cloud storage service.

After dozens more layers, when Xia Jie broke through the idealistic layer, the "objective idealistic rule" also completely failed.

Click—

Xia Jie lost her idealistic power and had long since lost the power of light and darkness. Now, without the power of idealistic power driving the spiral drill bit, it slowly came to a stop and ceased to rotate.

"As expected, there is no force in the world that can shake the world itself."

In the deep reality devoid of time and space, a glimmer of enlightenment spontaneously arose from the depths of Xia Jie's heart.

When there are no exploitable loopholes in the underlying worldview, beings born within that worldview cannot transcend it without the aid of forces outside of it.

In other words, things within logic cannot transcend logic.

Just as humans living in a world governed by logic can only imagine pseudo-omniscience and omnipotence within logic that can be stumped by the "omnipotence paradox," they cannot have any meaningful discussion about true omniscience and omnipotence that transcends logic, because even the discussion itself is bound by logic.

This includes the argument within logic that holds that discussions within logic are meaningless.

Because the depth of reality encompassing time and space has been breached, in this timeless and spaceless void, Xia Jie, temporarily detached from the timeline, possesses "infinite" time to ponder and answer a question:

"If I don't restore the 'worldview integration' protection of the challenge space and forcibly reclaim all my power within this depth of reality, what other way can I access the universal rules rooted in the deepest layers of a multiverse, transcending a single worldview?"

"Hmm...is there?"

Yes, brother, yes.

"Ah! I understand!"

Since every worldview that Xia Jie has experienced so far exists in the form of "universe" in its external form, even if the internal structure is quite different, it at least looks like "universe" on the surface.

Since they are all universes, the first cause that gave birth to them must have something in common.

Even if it's not the primary cause, there must be some common factor that makes everything tend to exist in this form.

It definitely will!

However, just sitting around speculating isn't a good idea. Now that we know the approximate location of the result, it wouldn't hurt to use a tool.

Moreover, according to Xia Jie's senses, this layer is probably a level called "existence". Without the protection of tools, the price of forcibly reaching the next layer will definitely be the complete disappearance of one's own existence.

"Space, enable the 'Worldview Integration' function for me."

The feature is now enabled.

Before the words were even finished, Xia Jie sensed the power of the past—

It did not return to his body.

After all, when Xia Jie transmigrated to this world without any protection, all the power in her body had already leaked out like air from a punctured balloon.

These lost powers can only be restored by returning to the challenge space.

The light and darkness and vortexes originating from this world are also examples of this; after their power dissipates, only the power system itself can be restored now.

That is, the seed of power.

Wait... a vortex?

The vortex doesn't seem to have dissipated yet?!

Why hasn't the vortex dissipated yet?

Xia Jie suddenly realized that even after light, darkness, and her mind had all left her, she, who had reached the depth of the concept of "existence," had not lost the power of the "vortex."

It should be noted that the spiral force, golden spiral, and magnetic field rotation force based on idealism disappear completely without a trace after the idealism disappears.

"Space, disable the 'Worldview Integration' function."

Okay, it's closed.

Xia Jie knew what to do.

The forces that can still function normally at this depth are more or less related to the origin of the world.

If rules are code and truth is power, then this power is the most fundamental code at the lowest level of computer operation.

"I never imagined that you would be connected to the fundamental truths of this world."

Xia Jie, whose form was blurred, raised her palm, and the last drill bit completely disintegrated, revealing a small vortex beneath it.

He had thought that his existence had not dissipated even though he had lost his supernatural powers because this profound reality was beyond birth and death, beyond gathering and dispersing.

It now seems that the fact that I can still exist and think normally, instead of dissolving into the concept of existence, is entirely due to the power of the vortex.

"Thinking about it this way, back in Black Vortex Town, if the vortex's will hadn't been purely instinctive, winning wouldn't have been so easy."

Now that we have found a usable underlying code for the world, we no longer need the power from outside the world.

He wanted to continue drilling downwards.

Although whirlpools cannot dig holes, they can pull things towards their center and even bring floating objects that have been pulled to the center of the whirlpool down to the surface.

Xia Jie placed her hand on "Existence" and used all her willpower to drive the vortex.

Because he lacked the concepts of depth and movement related to space and time, Xia Jie, whose power was limited, found it difficult to confirm whether he was still heading towards a deeper level of reality.

However, at times like these.

"Trust in the vortex, just trust it."

For Xia Jie, it was just fourteen moments when her thoughts turned.

Fourteen tiny moments later.

With the help of the vortex will, he finally reached the foundation of the world.

It is no longer the starting point of spacetime where the sun and moon clashed, but the true origin, the chaotic vortex of karma—

The Vortex of Origin.

Lao Xia's heart also carries a fictitious humanistic concept that, because it never existed in the first place, did not disappear as the layers deepened—love.

Xia Jie was slowly pulled by the vortex of karma toward the root of karma at the center of the vortex, falling toward the first cause that determined the entire universe.

He did not resist.

Just like in the Type-Moon Holy Grail War, Angra Mainyu was able to corrupt the Holy Grail into a black Holy Grail filled with malice by using his own concept of "all the evil in this world".

Xia Jie was very curious about what she could learn from falling into the source, and whether the "love" in her heart could pollute the source of this world.
