Bengyuantie: I was honest with Bai Heng

Chapter 37 Conversation

[PS: This chapter contains a lot of settings. If you don’t like reading the settings, you can skip it directly. It won’t have much impact. ]

This was a conversation between Wang Xing and Gui Zhong during this year when they were telling stories.

"In the world of Honkai Impact 3, there is a disaster called "Honkai". The "Honkai Energy" will breed Honkai Beasts and infect humans and turn them into dead soldiers."

"When human civilization develops to a certain stage, the Cocoon of the End will "project" one of its multiple dimensions into the human world, and the Herrscher will be born!"

"The Herrscher has the powerful power to control the laws of the world, which is very similar to the power of "Dust" that will eventually return to you."

"In the era of the story I'm telling, the powers of the Herrscher are: Reason, Space, Thunder, Wind, Ice, Death, Knowledge, Rock, Domination, Restraint, and Corrosion."

In the end, it was easy for him to accept the settings of these "Herrs" who had similar powers to himself, but he still didn't quite understand the "projection".

He thought and said, "Projection... is it similar to the four shadows of "Heavenly Principle"? Speaking of which, we "Demon Gods" are also fragments of "Origin". "

"That's true. The powers of the Herrscher that are born each time "Cocoon of the End" is different from the previous one, and it won't always be the powers mentioned above."

"Perhaps 'Heaven's Law' is something similar to 'Cocoon of the End'."

--------

"Continue, whenever human development does not meet the requirements of the "Cocoon of the End", He will give birth to the "Hermit of the End"!"

"The Herrscher of the End possesses the abilities of all previous Herrschers, and can also use the power of "time" to restart the cycle of the world and try to "embrace" the new human race again."

In the end, I still don't understand the purpose of "Cocoon of the End".

"Why does the "Cocoon of the End" want to destroy humanity? And then create new humans?"

“As mentioned before, the Cocoon of the End is for hugging.”

"Embrace?"

"Well, there is a kind of high-dimensional creature. They are very lonely and long for their own kind. They long for... a hug!"

"The Cocoon of the End is the high-tech tool that they have deployed to various parts of the universe. It can take over the tip of the Imaginary Tree, rewrite the local laws of the Earth in a high-dimensional space, and allow civilization to develop step by step into what they expect!"

"I see. You want to turn other species into their kind. Then they won't be alone anymore, right?"

"That's understandable."

"hey-hey……"

She rubbed her nose a little proudly.

--------

"What is the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers"? "

In the end, new problems are raised.

"Hmm...let me think about how to explain it."

"So you can imagine the structure of the universe as a tree, and the tree is the embodiment of time, which stretches from the base of the trunk up to the branches and leaves."

"I understand. The 'Tree of Imaginary Numbers' is similar to the 'World Tree'!"

Finally, he answered excitedly.

"They... don't seem to be the same. Just imagine them as an ordinary tree."

"It comes from imaginary numbers, keeps growing, and keeps branching out into branches of time, which are countless parallel universes."

"Imaginary energy surges through it, and finally leaves grow at the tips of the branches. The leaves are worlds, so the world is the product of the combination of time and imaginary energy."

“The closer in time two leaves have come to being on a branch, the more similar they are.”

"By the way, 'Honkai Energy' is the product of 'Cocoon of the End' transforming 'Imaginary Energy'."

(Could "elemental force" be the transformed "imaginary energy"?)

--------

Another conversation

"And so the captain drove the Hyperion in the Quantum Sea to save the next World Bubble."

"Hmm... I still don't quite understand what the "Quantum Sea" is, and why the "World Bubble" was destroyed."

"Well... let's talk about the "Sea of Quantum" first."

"If you know the concept of the 'Tree of Imaginary Numbers', the 'Ocean of Quantum' will be easy to understand."

“You can imagine the ‘Tree of Imaginary Numbers’ immersed in a sea made of ‘ether’.”

"After coming out of a leaf, which is the world, you will enter the quantum sea. After crossing the quantum sea, you can go to the leaf on another branch, which is the parallel world."

"Of course, if you have the ability to go down along "time", dive through the quantum sea to the branches under the leaves and invade, you can enter at a point in time in the past!"

"But whether new branches will grow or the current branches will continue to move up in time to become leaves, I don't know."

(Could it be that this is the power I possess?)

“At the same time, the tree and the sea are in a competitive relationship. The destroyed world on the tree can be compared to the withered and yellow leaves.”

"It will be washed into the quantum ocean by the ebb and flow of the sea like the tide and absorbed by it. The tree will also draw energy from the ocean through its roots."

--------

“After knowing this, we can talk about the ‘World Bubble’.”

"I just mentioned that the sea will rise and fall like the tide, and the rising and falling process will wash away the branches and leaves of the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers", and the information in the branches and leaves will be collected by the quantum sea because of the washing of the "ether". "

(Does this mean that the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" actually records all the information in this world? It is indeed somewhat similar to the "World Tree".)

"When the ocean rises and falls, bubbles are created. We call these bubbles 'membranes'."

[If you don’t understand why bubbles appear, you can buy a bottle of mineral water and shake it to produce a lot of bubbles. ]

"These 'membranes' are made up of information collected by the quantum sea, but they cannot exist for long and will soon sink to the bottom of the quantum sea and break."

"And the 'membrane' that can exist stably is called the 'world bubble'."

[In the game, "membrane" is often also called "world bubble". ]

[However, due to the lack of titanium anchors, it will soon sink into the quantum sea and be destroyed. ]

“The stability of the “World Bubble” is not without reason, but it is due to the “anchoring” effect of the “Ether Anchor Point” that it can exist for a long time.”

“Ether anchors can come in many forms, from chance encounters to special structures.”

"But their functions are the same, which is to materialize the information recorded by the 'membrane' and form a small world in the 'world bubble'."

--------

"So what is the difference between the world in these "world bubbles" and the world of leaves on the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers"? "

"There are many. First of all, the space inside the leaf is almost boundless, while the "world bubble" has obvious boundaries. The people or objects in the "world bubble" are also partial projections of the leaf. "

The scene of Teyvat, a round country seen from the moon, surrounded by the dark and purple aura of the abyss, flashed through Wang Xing's mind.

"The world in the 'World Bubble' doesn't have a universe, right? What color would the sky be then?"

Gui finally asked curiously.

"Based on the information from the membrane, a false sky will be generated."

A picture emerged in Wang Xing's mind:

Scattered Soldiers: "The starry sky itself is a huge lie."

"Also, the "rules" of the "world bubble" can be very different from the "proper world", which is the leaves."

"The 'rules' of the 'world bubble' are also easier to modify than the 'rules' of the 'original world'."

"For example, 'Su' implanted a 'wish' into the Salt and Snow Holy City World Bubble..."

Wang Xing was slightly stunned.

(Is there any similarity between this and the power of the earth being stimulated by human "wishes"?)

--------

"Gui Xing?" Gui Zhong saw Wang Xing lost in thought and waved his hand in front of him.

"Sorry, let's continue."

"It is the 'rules' that have 'wishes' implanted into it, right? But who is this 'Sa', and why did he implant the 'rules'?"

"'Su' was originally a Venusian. They were also suffering from the disaster of collapse, but they called it - 'the abyss'!"

(It’s probably just a coincidence that it has the same name as the “Abyss” in the original God. The name “Abyss” is very common.)

"Sāra eventually gained powerful strength from the Quantum Sea and became a being similar to the Cocoon of the End, but much weaker than the Cocoon of the End."

"The purpose of "Su" is to destroy the world bubble and obtain the "Honkai Energy" in it to strengthen itself."

"In a world where "wishes" and "rules" are implanted, some of people's wishes will gradually become reality."

"The residents of the Holy City of Salt and Snow believed that after death, the wise men who guide the dead will take them to the afterlife. Thus, the Iron Sand Kingdom was born. Then the two worlds began to merge and gradually fell into destruction."

(The memories on the moon are drawn to the real world by the "wishes" of the living...)

"Because of the natural decay of the world bubble and the influx of "quantum monsters", people's wishes will become stronger, and the arrival of destruction will give rise to "wishes" again."

"It's just that... the 'wishes' born from the fear of death will only accelerate the arrival of destruction!"

(The war between demons and gods caused great suffering to all living things, and people's "wishes" caused the "boundary between life and death" to be broken.)

"As Vita, the agent of 'Sa', said - where 'wish' sprouts, the heaven and earth turn upside down..."

Two images flashed through Wang Xing’s mind: an upside-down city in the rocky abyss, and a filthy inverted statue…

He recalled Vita's words again:

Where the "desire" sprouts, the heaven and earth turn upside down.

This is... the will of "Sa"!!!

……

"Returning to the Star?"

……

"Return to the Star?!"

"what!"

Gui Zhong's voice broke Wang Xing out of his thoughts.

Wang Xing held his forehead with one hand, his face looking a little ugly, and shook his head.
