Chapter 383: End of the Cycle

[Let me tell you…]

Li Wenyuan’s consciousness signal appeared in this galaxy and interacted with the Void Lord.

On the surface, there seemed to be a huge delay of two million light-years between him and this galaxy, but in fact, there was indeed a signal delay of as long as two hours. However, in order not to let the situation go out of control at some point, he still thought of some ways.

The Al on the Al fleet that was sent here was actually part of his consciousness data.

Normally, these consciousness data would take on the responsibility of ordinary artificial intelligence. It was a collection of operating procedures. However, when Li Wenyuan needed it, he could transfer his main consciousness to this artificial intelligence.

The price of doing this was that his connection with the spiral galaxy had become delayed. There was a speed limit for the transmission of awareness signals.

Moreover, because of the delay, it would be very difficult for him to borrow the computing power of the central processing unit and read the database. He could only rely on the memory in this portion of consciousness data and the processor of the spaceship itself.

If it wasn’t necessary, Li Wenyuan didn’t want to do this. After all, this wasn’t stable enough. However, he felt that it was necessary to personally interact with the Void Lord this time.

After reading the series of news that had been sent back, it was difficult for him not to be interested in this mysterious void lifeform and the void itself.

He had also thought of the Voyager’s series of guesses. It was better to say that he had thought deeper.

He knew that there were many images related to “brain in a vat” and “Fish Tank and Fish” in the Milky Way. Would people who lived in this universe realize that the world they were in was actually a fake world, or was it just an experimental site?

The former Observer, the lost empire, firmly believed that the Milky Way was fake, so they didn’t hesitate to commit suicide with the entire Milky Way to get rid of what they thought was the virtual world.

Although this behavior was bewitching, it could not help but cause one to think deeply.

Assuming that the scale of the Milky Way was magnified and expanded to the entire universe, what if the universe was just a game or an experiment?

The Milky Way was like a miniature mirror image of the universe. Everything in it seemed to be connected after entering the universe.

He still remembered that the Creator of the Infinite Divine Armaments, the Extractor, a civilization that believed that the increase in the number of lifeforms would lead to the destruction of the universe, chose to commit suicide after discovering the truth. How similar was this to the outcome of the Observer and the lost empire in the Milky Way?

And the Scribe civilization that inherited its remains had a certain degree of similarity to the Observer and the lost empire. No one would believe that there was nothing between them.

The Void Lord had pointed out these things that everyone had ignored.

Everything in the past seemed to be connected.

Since the Milky Way itself was equivalent to a closed experimental site built by humans, based on this similarity, could the universe also be understood as a certain experiment, and the end point of the universe was that the experiment could not continue and had to be redone.

Civilizations and even individuals that could carry out experiments of this level had clearly surpassed the universe itself. They were existences that stood at their true peak.

If that were the case, it was not impossible for there to be an unconvincing endpoint theory such as “the increase in lifeforms will cause the universe to enter the Big Collapse”. Who knew what the purpose of this cosmic experiment was? Perhaps the increase in lifeforms would lead to sample pollution, so there was a reboot?

However, the above was still in the category of guessing. Even if everyone could provide closed-loop logic, they still lacked conclusive evidence.

This group, including Li Wenyuan, knew everything from the accounts of others. Every word sounded like a shocking matter, but there was no evidence to prove it. It was as if they were deliberately hidden.

However, Li Wenyuan knew that this was because he had yet to come into contact with that level. He believed that that day would not be too far away.

Therefore, for all these reasons, Li Wenyuan decided to personally communicate with the Void Lord. This void lifeform seemed to know a lot of things.

[The mainstream endpoint theory of this known universe is indeed Big Rend because it is an undeniable fact that the universe is accelerating its expansion.] [But according to some information I received, the final destination of this universe is very likely to be Big Collapse. Can you understand it through this term alone?]

[And what determines whether the Big Collapse will happen is the total amount of life.]

After the Void Lord heard this term, it didn’t take long for him to understand the meaning of this term.

[So that’s how it is. The endpoint theory has indeed been rewritten…] [Perhaps the void was indeed the endpoint of this place, but some unforeseen events have caused it to be impossible for the void to happen again. At least this time, the universe won’t.]

[Since there’s the Big Collapse theory, there must be a discussion about the cycle, right? The universe will cycle through the Big Collapse and the Big Bang and never stop.]

[In that case, do you think Big Collapse is the endpoint or cycle is the endpoint?]

This rhetorical question made Li Wenyuan think for a moment. Indeed, who said that the ending would definitely be fixed? The cycle could also be the ending.

It would be better to say that this ending was actually closer to Li Wenyuan’s understanding.

This was because there were clearly civilizations and lifeforms from the last era in this universe. They might even show signs of dimensional erosion due to acclimatization, but it also proved that this universe was not the original universe. Perhaps it had already undergone countless cycles.

At the mention of cycles, one couldn’t help but think of the mysterious existence in the Black Hole-the Ring of Time.

The void represented an ending, and the cycle also represented an ending. Then, could the Ring of Time that was closely related to the cycle be the mastermind behind the Big Collapse?

After all, from Li Wenyuan’s known performances, Ring of Time was intelligent and would even show a personality of preference.

He hadn’t forgotten what the Infinite Divine Armaments had said. The Ring of Time’s love was with humans.

However, even greater doubts followed. If the Ring of Time was the mastermind, then why did it choose to favor humans?

Li Wenyuan quickly suppressed this doubt to the bottom of the process. He felt that there must be a fundamental secret related to the universe. Only by finding humans could he know all of this..
