"Why the change of heart?" Yan Xia inquired.
"The number of dimensions involved in the Dimension War is unknown. In your Human Civilization's quantum theory, dimensions are either eleven-dimensional or twenty-six dimensions."
"But according to our observations as a Level 3 Civilization, dimensions themselves extend infinitely, without end."
"However, the expansion of dimensions does not equate to the expansion of space. The higher the dimension, the more space begins to shrink. But this is not to deny your membrane universe theory, where the universe can be infinitely small in space, yet infinitely large on its surface."
"Have you thought of anything?" Nuopeidan knew that Human Civilization had similar theories.
Yan Xia quickly thought of something.
"Fractals."
"Because space can be infinitely subdivided."
Nuopeidan acknowledged Yan Xia's knowledge.
"Exactly, a fractal universe, or what is called the dimensional fractal theory."
"Actually, back in our time, not everyone was convinced by this theory. That's how science is; only what can be questioned is called science, otherwise, it's truth."
"Although we have been to those universes, because they are too small, we cannot truly enter their interiors. So there's also a theory that they might only be infinitely small in the space we understand, and infinitely large under another space theory we don't understand."
"This involves a lot of knowledge in mathematics and physics. Neither you nor I are experts in this area. What I can tell you is that because higher dimensions show a tendency to be smaller, some dimensional Civilizations are not that powerful. They fear becoming the first to be destroyed."
"These Civilizations are not indigenous to those dimensions; they are products. Some of the more powerful products do not fear the Eye of the Black Hole."
Products.
Meaning, products of Civilization.
Just like the Zerg to Human Civilization.
As a powerful Level 3 Civilization, there must also be many 'creatures' they produce themselves, and these creatures might travel to very distant places.
They are actually extensions of these Civilizations. When disturbed, the Civilization behind them can choose to use this as a pretext for attack.
Of course, perhaps some Civilizations are hunters, using this to identify prey.
"I know what you're going to ask next: what happened 7.99 million years ago that made these Civilizations agree?"
"Actually, it's very simple. The Eye of the Black Hole released a death list."
"They ranked the 100,000 galaxies in the entire Laniakea Supercluster, determining which would die first and which would die later."
Insane.
Yan Xia could hardly imagine what kind of crazy Civilization this was.
"This immediately caused an uproar among all Civilizations."
"7.99 million years ago, the Milky Way learned of this information and its ranking, 171st, and then initiated the Dimension War."
Among 100,000 galaxies, a ranking of 171st is quite high.
"The Eye of the Black Hole also needs a long time to prepare to eliminate a galaxy, roughly 200,000 to 300,000 years each time. The shortest time left for the Milky Way is 34.2 million years."
"This is not a long time for a top-tier Civilization."
"Your initial understanding of the Dimension War was a struggle for absolute kingship over the Milky Way."
"But after hearing this, you probably understand now, this is a struggle for a ticket to leave."
"Only Level 3 Civilizations can truly migrate through cosmic space and persist. Civilizations below Level 3, upon reaching the true cosmic sea, can only become hunted prey."
This is a cruel truth.
All top-tier Civilizations, just for one escape slot.
This is the Dimension War!
In Yan Xia's mind, he could almost see the urgency of all the top-tier Civilizations within the Nuclear Sphere at this moment.
"Unknown Civilization can easily manipulate lower Civilizations."
"Is there no more powerful Civilization to stop them?"
Yan Xia said something seemingly useless, but he didn't feel it was useless.
When a Civilization is too outrageous, other Civilizations might also dislike them.
For example, 'I'm not as arrogant as you, so why are you arrogant?'
Even, it doesn't require an entire Civilization; just a small company within a Level 4 Civilization, if it dislikes you, could dispatch a spaceship and directly destroy the Eye of the Black Hole.
Nuopeidan didn't know the specifics, but he had his own conjecture.
"If a Civilization becomes powerful, what will be the meaning of their existence?"
"Or what will be their goal to strive for?"
"The Truth-Seeking Civilization, the faction that seeks the birth and destruction of the universe, believes that the goal of all super Civilizations must be the end of the universe."
"And the Milky Way's location, according to research, is not at this concept of 'end'."
Yan Xia had never asked one question, which was what exactly the end of the universe was.
Because in the Big Bang theory, the universe did not expand into a sphere, but rather into the surface of a sphere.
The surface of the sphere is the true meaning of the 'universe', while the interior of the sphere is just an illusory space, where nothing exists.
Therefore, the universe does not have a spatial center, and naturally, no spatial boundary.
Only the observable universe has a boundary, which is 41.5 billion light-years away.
But the observable universe is just the range of the universe that can be observed. If the Milky Way moves to another location in the universe, another observable universe will appear, and the two observable universes might not overlap.
Nuopeidan answered Yan Xia's question.
"Those guys believe that the end is the fundamental surface of spacetime. This is somewhat similar to the membrane universe theory, but not the same. The membrane universe divides dimensions, with lower dimensions on the surface of higher ones."
"Whereas the fundamental surface of spacetime is where all dimensions reside on this single surface, and they are not arranged in parallel in terms of spatial geometry."
Machine God interjected.
"【Higher dimensions involve a theory of a dimensional loop. Assuming all dimensions are loops, the fundamental surface of the universe might be the boundary of the loop.】"
Yan Xia told Nuopeidan about this.
Nuopeidan shook his head.
"It's more complex. The universe, after all, is not a true loop, but a space infinitely close to flat, or perhaps it is inherently a flat space. So the true end is still on the end of a flat plane."
"Actually, those guys haven't fully comprehended this either. Their goal before setting off was the Giant Attractor."
"That's why I said the Eye of the Black Hole will be them."
At the center of the Laniakea Supercluster, there is a Giant Attractor that influences all galaxies within a 500 million light-year radius.
Nuopeidan speculated that if the extremist Truth-Seeking Civilization went there and found that the Giant Attractor could not reach the end of the universe, they would choose to use all the galaxies in the Laniakea Supercluster to create an even larger Giant Attractor, in an attempt to reach the end of the universe.
"Regarding information about dimensions, that's all I know."
The information Nuopeidan provided was enough for Human Civilization to digest for a long time.
The information he revealed, besides the Dimension War, was also very significant.
Yan Xia instantly felt that a Civilization working in isolation was also meaningless.
Human Civilization must inevitably move towards a path of Civilization exchange.
Previously, Human Civilization did not have this qualification; exchange would inevitably lead to annexation.
But now, Human Civilization has initially gained this qualification and must make good use of this time.
Yan Xia was greedy.
"This information is not enough. You haven't mentioned the information about the current participants in the Dimension War, the data on these Civilizations, which Civilizations will participate, which Civilizations will flee the Milky Way, and which Civilizations will only temporarily leave the Milky Way."
Nuopeidan said he was happy to provide this information.
"This is no secret. All sub-top-tier Civilizations outside the system know."
"But, are you really sure you want to know this?"
"For your Human Civilization, knowing this is meaningless. Whether you want to escape or stay in the Milky Way, it's all the same."
"The gap between you and the sub-top-tier Civilizations is too, too large. If an ant knows the name of an elephant, can it defeat the elephant?"
"It's better to seriously develop yourselves. Knowing this information will only be another blow to you."
