Precys said helplessly, "This is the price we, as parallel worlds of higher dimensions, must bear: we will be affected by higher dimensions. Although the intersection between higher dimensions and us is often only a brief moment, this influence is enough to steer our world off course onto other developmental paths."

Liu Jiuli: "Explain in detail."

Precys: "You know the game Arknights, right?"

Liu Jiuli was truly dumbfounded. What was this? A game character breaking the fourth wall?

"You're not trying to tell me that playing games can destroy the world, are you?"

Precys shook his head and said, "That's impossible, of course. But enough attention from higher-dimensional worlds can force a parallel world with a very high degree of similarity to deviate from its original development trajectory and cause a forced deviation. Moreover, this effect is irreversible and will also apply to all parallel worlds with similar possibilities."

Liu Jiuli vaguely sensed something, but he wasn't quite sure.

Precys then spoke up, "Do you know when the first continent of Terra was born, which was in the Core World's year?"

Liu Jiuli: "What year?"

Precys: "2017."

"2017...the first closed beta test of Arknights!"

I see. Arknights was already a game with some popularity during its first closed beta test, and before its official release, it gained even more popularity thanks to the "Amiya" meme, so...

Precys knew that Liu Jiuli had already thought of it, so he continued, "With the explosive popularity of the game Arknights, more and more players have flocked in, and more and more parallel worlds have been affected. As a result, in 2019, the Terraization process of parallel worlds accelerated. Up to me, 51895741 parallel worlds have been affected and turned into the Terra continent."

Liu Jiuli was truly shocked. Who would have thought that playing a game could lead to someone's death? Was this a case of a character from a game coming to life to seek revenge on the author?

Then you should go find Umineko or XiXiZhong. If XiXiZhong and Umineko hadn't fallen out, there wouldn't be Arknights.

"Fortunately, such an impact is only temporary and one-off, but when we are affected, it is too late. The original normal development track can never be returned to. We must accept this new and cruel reality."

At this point, Liu Jiuli finally understood.

Earth, the world we live in, is the core of countless parallel worlds. To other parallel worlds, Earth is the mother world. Countless possibilities are born from this mother world, and these extended possibilities are the parallel worlds.

Under normal circumstances, these parallel worlds surround Earth and have similar or nearly identical developmental trajectories.

However, when the core world changes, such as when many people have a certain idea, the parallel world will be affected.

The simplest example is that after the game Arknights came out, there might not be many players who wanted to travel to that world, but there would definitely be countless players who wanted to get close to kemonomimi (animal-eared girls). When they all started thinking, "How wonderful it would be to have a world where I can get close to kemonomimi," the parallel world would be subject to higher-dimensional interference. As long as this parallel world has the possibility of "becoming Terra," then it will become "Terra."

That's why there are 51895741 parallel worlds on Terra, meaning at least 51895741 parallel worlds have been affected.

By the same token, if Hypergryph can have such influence, then games developed by other game companies can naturally do the same, such as MICA, miHoYo, Marvel, and so on.

Liu Jiuli: "In other words, there are other parallel worlds."

Precys: "Even in parallel worlds completely different from ours, they were affected in the same way, only in different ways, and thus on different paths of development."

Liu Jiuli: "This is... utter chaos."

Precys: "This is the fate of parallel worlds. Any disturbance in the main world is a huge upheaval for us. We have no power to influence the main world, but through certain methods, we can still make some changes."

Liu Jiuli: "What method?"

Precyth: "While we cannot change our predetermined fate, we can help save other parallel worlds similar to ours, which is our small contribution."

Liu Jiuli: "A transmigrator like me?"

Precys: "As beings originally from the main world, transmigrators can influence the main world, even if the influence is negligible. As long as there is such a possibility, that is enough. Not to mention that beings from the main world are themselves high-dimensional beings with all sorts of special powers, which can become opportunities to break through the shackles."

Liu Jiuli: "So what did you do?"

Precyth: "The Fantasy Project".

Liu Jiuli: "What the heck? Why does it sound so cringey?"

Precyth: "It sounds like that, but the plan really does fit the name."

Liu Jiuli: "A plan to recruit people from the main world?"

Prisus shook his head: "Transmigrators are random, and doctors appear randomly as well. Not every Prisus can meet a doctor. Some worlds are destroyed while waiting. The 51895741 worlds I recorded are those that encountered doctors. Many more possibilities have been lost in the long river of history, or may be struggling to find their own salvation."

Liu Jiuli: "Then what's the purpose of this plan?"

Precyth: "It's very simple, it's about providing some inspiration to the people of the main world."

Liu Jiuli: "Inspiration?"

Precys: "For example, some fan fiction authors, their thoughts and attention can influence other parallel worlds."

Liu Jiuli: "What?"

Precys: "Of course, some dark and cruel authors have caused a lot of suffering in parallel worlds, even causing them to collapse. But fortunately, most fanfiction authors are quite loving. Although their intervention is not high and the side effects are very weak, as long as there is a driving force to deflect it, the deviation will become larger and larger over time. Anyway, apart from destruction, there is nothing to fear for a world like ours."

Liu Jiuli: "Aren't you afraid that a Ke-style author will destroy the world?"

Precys shook his head: "No, such outrageous settings could never have been constructed in the first place. Just like the unsolvable gods and powerful sea creatures in the Hypergryph setting, anything that deviates too much from basic physical logic will be beaten down by reality and become realistic. Just like Superman in Marvel, in reality, a nuclear bomb can still kill him. This is the 'realistic downgrading' brought about by the rules of real physics, which is an unsolvable reality."

Liu Jiuli nodded: "Indeed, in reality, people who are too awesome don't exist..."

How am I supposed to explain that?

Liu Jiuli suddenly realized that, according to Precys' explanation, his situation was unsolvable; it was either a bug or a cheat.

"Then how do you explain my situation?"

Precys shook his head and said, "There is no solution. I'm not lying to you. There really is no way to explain it. Many of your characteristics have already exceeded the explanations of the original technological system. Your power has reached the point of destroying the real physical environment. If the laws of physics are unbreakable, then it can only mean that your existence is also a part of reality. It's just that this part is something we haven't detected yet. It's a more advanced existence. Perhaps we will only be able to know it when we develop to a certain level."

Liu Jiuli sighed: "It sounds really pathetic. Are parallel worlds just appendages of the main world?"

Precys replied with a smile, "But it's quite different for worlds with time travelers."

Liu Jiuli: "What do you mean?"

Precys: "Because as long as a person from the main world descends into a parallel world, that parallel world will quickly move away from the main world and become a new core world, which means it will upgrade. Although the principle cannot be explained, as long as the transmigrator comes to the parallel world, the larger the scope of influence, the faster the entire world will upgrade."

Liu Jiuli was surprised: "Transmigrators have this kind of advantage!"

Precyth nodded: "Yes, so, although we were affected by the storm stirred up by the main world, we also know that the people in the main world did not do this intentionally, and we cannot force others to stop imagining. To put it bluntly, this is the malice that the world has brought us, and the doctors who are transmigrators have actually saved us. Thank you."

Liu Jiuli was speechless; this gratitude left him with mixed feelings.

"So, this world is already the new main world, right?"

Precys shook his head: "Not yet, but given the community's current rate of development, that day won't be far off."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Jiuli asked, "Then, can people from other realms travel here?"

"Other worlds?"

Liu Jiuli explained the Frostbite Nail and Rosetta's situation.

Precys: "I've never encountered a situation like this before, but you are the most special one among all the doctors, so I can't be sure, maybe it really is related to you."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Just then, Yueying's voice rang in Liu Jiuli's mind.

“Um, Master, it might really be related to you.”

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Do you remember the more than one hundred times you attempted suicide?"

Do you remember how much rice you ate?

"Alright, Master has been to the worlds of Genshin Impact and Punishing: Gray Raven, and even Honkai Impact 3."

"What?! How come I didn't know that?"

Yueying said with a resentful look, "Because you're about to commit suicide, by jumping off a cliff, jumping off a building, or jumping into the sea."

Liu Jiuli: "..."

Chapter 342: Rainbow Six Siege's Unwavering Pursuit

(Update delivered, do you guys have any votes? (?ω?))

Okay, Liu Jiuli did go to these worlds, but he fought desperately against the system to see who was the most ruthless, and ended up performing elaborate suicide attempts.

Jump off buildings in Changkong City, jump off cliffs in Wangfeng Mountain, and jump over the sea at the North Pole.

Liu Jiuli suddenly realized that his life experience was unexpectedly rich, and he had accomplished things that other transmigrators had not.

Each time someone commits suicide, the system is forced to jump out of a world, taking some things with them.

Therefore, the demons of the North were brought by Liu Jiuli, as were the Frost Nails. Even some of the dead were brought here and reborn. This is the side effect of time travel.

"Something's not right! The timing doesn't match up." Liu Jiuli noticed the key point.

“Master, the time points between parallel worlds are different. Unless you, as a higher-dimensional observer, notice them, the time on both sides is in an uncertain state of superposition, which is why this situation occurs.”

Okay, that explains why the demons appeared 100,000 years ago, but not long after that in Punishing: Gray Raven.

Liu Jiuli certainly wouldn't tell Priscilla this, but he was quite curious about Priscilla himself.

"How did you manage to get them everywhere?"

"It's very simple. By utilizing the resonance between Originium, I can break down the world barriers to a limited extent. Because I am a piece of lifeless data, I can easily be transmitted between multiple worlds to provide early warnings and assistance to other worlds that have encountered or are about to encounter Originium catastrophes, until I myself can no longer function."

"Are you still able to contact other worlds?"

Prisus shook his head: "This signal transmission is one-way and one-time, so each Prisus can only send two information transmissions in his lifetime: to transmit his own clone to other worlds where Originium exists, and to transmit the data he has collected after death."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's alright. Although it sounds terrible, for me, even if we have the same memories, it's a different life, just like Kal'tsit."

"By the way, speaking of Kal'tsit, is she any different?"

Precys: "Kal'tsit exists in many parts of Gotera. Although not every region has one, Kal'tsit is indeed the most frequently appearing observer and guardian of civilizations. However, not all Kal'tsit can fulfill their mission well. For example, the Kal'tsit in this world has completely forgotten the past, and there's nothing I can do about that."

Liu Jiuli: "Anyway, thank you for your hard work. What are your plans for the future?"

Precys: "That depends on how you plan to use me. In terms of capabilities, I am a strong artificial intelligence that can assist your work. If you have other plans, I will do my best to help if I can."

"Then please guide me, Prismus. By the way, would you like to have a body?"

Precys: "?"

Back to reality, apart from Liu Jiuli, no one else knew what had happened.

What just happened?

"I don't know, I was suddenly ejected."
