A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 331 The New Universe is Too Complex

At first, I had nothing...

Suddenly, a spacetime of less than one cubic centimeter appeared.

Subsequently, a massive amount of matter, equivalent to several universes in total mass, poured into this spacetime of less than one cubic centimeter.

Matter determines how spacetime curves, and spacetime determines how matter moves.

A sharp inflation occurred.

A cataclysmic change, a creation spectacle that shook the ages, ripples in space and time surged like waves, and tides of energy seemed to transform into ferocious beasts rushing in all directions.

In an instant, this spacetime of the universe expanded by hundreds of millions of light-years and continued to expand at a faster-than-light speed.

The vast, empty void and the dazzling plasma nebula resonated together, emitting a rhythmic pulse of psychic energy. The young universe cried out its first cry of new life!

Lu Shang opened his eyes from a deep sleep, yawned widely, and heard the reports from the swarm of bees through the psionic network echoing in his mind.

"The new nest universe has been created and is developing normally."

This newly created mother universe is special, concerning psionic energy and civilization, and Lu Shang cannot afford to be careless. Therefore, nurturing this mother universe takes far more time and resources than a typical mother universe.

Fortunately, it was successfully conceived.

"Can you hear me?" Lu Shang asked through the psionic network.

"At your command, Lu Shang Mainframe."

Lu Shang nodded slightly, then said, "The swarm's progress needs you to pave the way."

As he spoke, Lu Shang directly transmitted the swarm's plan to the newly born mother universe in the form of information.

"The work of creation is not yet complete; the bee colony needs you to complete the remaining steps."

"I'd be happy to help."

The newly formed mother universe responded in this way, and at the same time, unusual anomalies were occurring in the spacetime rules within it.

If someone were in this universe right now, they would be astonished to discover, using quantum observation equipment, that the structure of neutrons, electrons, and even quarks is changing!

Large clumps of plasma-state matter emitted an eerie, flickering light. This was the mass that escaped and was lost as the fundamental state of spacetime in the universe constantly changed, and as the stable structure of countless types of particles changed accordingly.

Eventually, the universe stabilized, and the eerie, flickering light of the nebula-like plasma masses also stabilized. With the intervention of gravity, countless plasma nebulae began to converge.

About 100 million years later, the first stars appeared, and another world gradually took shape as these stars were formed.

……

From the moment life becomes aware of itself, it finds itself in this emptiness.

Emptiness is nothingness; there is no space, no light or darkness, no temperature, nothing at all—nothing except the thoughts of life itself.

Life has no words, because no one communicates with it, and therefore it has no basis for existence.

The contemplation of life is full of chaos and bizarre phenomena. Because we have never seen anything with cause and effect, our thinking is not bound by any rules or regulations, nor by any interconnected logical relationships.

After pondering this for an unknown amount of time, life finally grew weary of it.

It grew weary of everything here; it felt bound; it began to search, trying to find a gap in this empty confinement, and then break free.

After a long period of time, life, which had been searching desperately for a way out, became restless.

For the first time, anger and despair arose in this desolate place.

Life, feeling bound by this boundless emptiness, is filled with anger and despair. It begins to struggle with everything it knows, and even though it is all in vain, it is unwilling to stop.

The end of this frenzied turmoil was collapse; life ceased to think, and everything fell into utter silence.

The originally chaotic thoughts gradually became clearer, and life changed from "it" to "them", and "them" is growing exponentially.

"They" take themselves as the foundation of everything and take action as their expression. An order that is opposite to chaos appears in this boundless void, and in this order, many things are gradually outlined and presented.

Starting from the most basic point, the model transitions to curved, disordered threads, then from disordered threads to various shapes, which continue to curve, and thus a three-dimensional object emerges. Then comes four-dimensional, five-dimensional...

A brand new world was depicted by "them" themselves!

Thus, the emptiness of this place became a thing of the past, and entities and order replaced the boundless nothingness and chaos, and more life appeared.

These life forms are not "them" but rather new world life forms composed of "them" as basic units.

Life in the New World is composed of different complexes due to varying environments. There are fiery beings born from scorching seas, whose language is rage and roar; there are explorers born from humid continents, who feed on the unknown; and there are flashing spirits born in an instant, whose entire lives are spent moving at the highest speed in the New World, never stopping...

The new world became bustling and lively because of these new lives. The lives kept pulsating and shining, and then more new lives of different kinds and forms emerged, with more complex structures. The new lives then quickly joined this ever-grand concerto of life.

As the differences between life forms become more apparent, there are always some things that a single life form cannot do on its own. At this point, other life forms are needed to do things for it, and thus enslavement and coercion are born naturally.

Enslavers, who use any means, whether deception, coercion, or inducement, to make other life forms serve them, are not a race, but rather special individuals that may appear in every intelligent species.

These enslaved beings, born from different races, broke down racial barriers driven by boundless desires, achieving the first unity in this world since its birth.

Power at the top of the world is coveted, and once the enslavers established contact, they began plotting against the various races.

The first to be enslaved were the Flame Bodies, the most numerous life forms in this world. Whoever controlled them controlled the main body of the world.

Relying on the shackles built of lies and deception, countless fiery beings born in the scorching sea have become a force that enslavers can arbitrarily control, using this power to force other races to submit.

Like a snowball rolling downhill, those races willing to submit are kept and absorbed by the enslavers to strengthen their ranks, while those unwilling to be ruled are constantly driven out and rejected, sending them to more distant places.

The combined power of different races is so great that no single race can contend with it and is forced to submit or be driven to more distant places.

As more and more races were incorporated, the first civilization that emerged in this world gradually approached perfection.

The Shining, who spent his entire life moving at top speed, was no longer free. He became a messenger controlled by the enslavers. The seeker who fed on understanding the unknown became the inspector of this vast civilization machine, uncovering the possibility of rebellion among all enslaved races and maintaining the rule of the enslavers.

The world is a living thing, and the enslavement of life is the enslavement of the world. The power to rule is less a power than a "divine right," so the enslavers naturally became the first gods in this world.
