Itzhax recounted the past, perhaps too far back, and his memories were a little messy, but what he remembered most vividly and vividly was the reaction of the strange old human man after he was captured by the demon guards."
He's not afraid of me at all, even if I'm standing in front of him in my original form," Itzax felt a little incredulous when he thought about it now, "The flames on my body lit his robe, but the old man just blew out the flames on his robe, and then seriously asked me to put him back so he could continue experimenting—I had never seen such a guy before, and it was funny, so I gave him two options.""
I told him that because he was a very interesting human being and brought me a lot of freshness, I could be extra gracious and let him choose two paths.The first option was to spare his life, he was free to leave this place, but he was not allowed to take anything with him, because those things were trophies of the demon legions.The second option is that I allow him to go back and continue his experiments, but he will only have one year left to live, and his soul will be mine. ”Itzhax suddenly grimaced when he said this, and of course he might just roll his eyes - after all, the big brother's face usually looked like a grimace, and any expression he made was too loud and powerful: "It's a bit of a ...... to recall it now."
Uh, shame.At that time, I was young, so I could be fashionable, brush up on the wind value or something, and at that time this was popular among demons, scaring and scaring humans, fulfilling a wish, taking away the soul or something, so that I could show my 'kingly bearing'.At the time, I thought that a normal human would definitely choose to live at this time, but the old man surprised me again. ”"He chose to stay and do the experiments, didn't he?"
Hao Ren had expected such a story to be no surprise to him, but it must have been a novelty in the eyes of Yitzax back then, "What is he studying?"
”"I'm studying the universe, studying what's out of the 'space bubble zone'," Itzax nodded, "I didn't know much about this at the time, but I just felt that this old human man was really interesting, crazy, and dared to argue with the devil, so I let him continue the experiment."
As a result, the guy actually said thank you, turned his head and went back to his laboratory, and continued his research in the ruins of the kingdom full of demons.I couldn't contain my curiosity this time, so I went to see what he was studying."
Then he told me about his 'space bubble zone' conjecture, as if a teacher was educating a student, didn't care about my demonic identity at all, stuffed me with a book in a serious way, and then stood in front of his test bench and talked about it.He mentioned a very novel speculation that scholars of all races had not imagined before—do you remember that I just told you that the spatial structure of my hometown is different from that of other universes?
We have a lot of fragmented spatial 'sacs', and the whole universe seems to be made up of these little bubbles.There is no such large celestial structure as the Milky Way, and most of them are spaces that occupy a space with a continent, or no more than the size of a galaxy.The old man called this structure the 'Space Bubble Zone' and strictly classified each type of space bubble.He had spent his life studying these things, and had come up with a hypothesis that the space bubble zone was not the true face of the universe, but just a distorted, anomalous galaxy.He found that many of the physical laws of the space bubble region were problematic, so he guessed that the entire bubble region was not formed naturally, but was distorted and shattered by a normal large galaxy after some celestial upheaval a few years ago.He felt that the space bubble area was actually just a very inconspicuous little oasis in the real universe, and it was a very unstable and abnormal oasis, and the truly endless world was outside—as long as you crossed the outermost layer of space bubbles, you could see the endless starry sky. ”At this, Izax exhaled suddenly, "Like the starry sky I see in your world." ”Hao Ren thought for a moment: "......
It's been more than a year of smog in this place, and you can see the stars?
”Izax rolled his eyes and patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "So what Vivien said is right, your mouth has evolved to be useless except for eating and drinking!"
”Hao Ren smiled awkwardly: "You go on, you go on." ”"We don't see a starry sky like yours in that world," Itzhax took a sip of wine, "and when I look up at the sky in a space sac or space bubble, I see all kinds of strange things, planets, aurora lights, phantoms in nearby space, and the occasional star, but I will never see a starry sky."
For thousands of years, our people have regarded this as a normal phenomenon, only the old human man felt that it was wrong, he did not know how to calculate the theoretical size of the universe, and found that this size was amazingly large, so he desperately tried to find out where the boundary of the space bubble area was.He's supposed to be a scientific genius, according to you—but in our world, he's just a madman, and he's even more of a human being born into a small human nation ruled by fools, which is why he's so depressed when I first met him.In our place, as an alchemist, if you can't make a war weapon that is useful for the country or a luxury that is useful for the nobility, it is a failure, and that old man can only study the stars and space, so he is ostracized by everyone, and if it were not for the noble blood of his father's generation, he would even be driven out of the royal city. ”Itzhaxton paused, with a strange smile on his face: "The irony is that this 'waste alchemist', who has been ostracized in human society, finally built the large-scale laboratory he has been looking forward to for a long time in the demon world, and all kinds of advanced equipment that the human kingdom has not manufactured were later created in the demon world. ”Hao Ren could almost guess what was going to happen next when he heard this: "So you opened your eyes under the leadership of this scientist, found that the stars and the sea are the romance of men, and began to plan for world unity......"
It turns out that Hao Ren's ideas are only suitable for appearing in the story, and the real situation is probably not so good, Yizax shook his head on the spot: "No, how could I have such a high consciousness at the beginning, I was like everyone else, I only thought of one thing - what if" The theory of the 'space bubble zone' is true, so what the world thinks of the whole universe is actually a small piece, and whoever can touch the boundary of the bubble zone is equivalent to getting an endless territory - I think it's that simple. ”Hao Ren: "......"
"So the only difference between me and the others is that no one else believes the little old man's words, I believe it," Yizax grinned, and made a grimace again, "I felt that there were endless territories to conquer outside the spatial bubble area, and this could show my strength, so I decided to support the little old man's research project, and I made him my chief scholar, responsible for finding the boundaries of the space bubble area."
And my change of mind happened in the hundreds of years after that."
The little old man's research is indeed not a hot-headed delusion, he has spent most of his life calculating the whole world, and has found the law of interconnection of the spatial bubble area, but he has not yet found the law outside this bubble area.With the help of his half-finished results, I opened up my territory more than twice as fast as other demons, which made me believe more and more in the theory of the space bubble zone, and actively look for ways to break through it, and it was in this process that I slowly discovered the vastness of the universe and the blindness of the struggle between the various races in the world - "It's ironic, I am the demon who provoked the most wars, but it was the first demon to discover the blindness of war.""
In a certain year, I formed an expeditionary force to explore the edge of the 'world' according to the teleportation rules researched by the little old man, and I personally led the team.The expedition didn't succeed, but we went farther than anyone else and saw amazing areas that no one had ever discovered: storms that enveloped the entire planet, atmospheric bridges across two twin stars, deadly cosmic environments, and much more.My expeditionary force was directly exposed to space in a teleportation accident, and more than half of them were killed on the spot, and my most powerful general was captured by a dim planet and wiped out in an instant.During that decade-long journey, I saw the power of nature beyond words, the power of nature that no race in the world, not even a creature as powerful as demons, could fight.Countless races blindly and ignorantly competed for the leftovers in the space bubble, and no one thought that there was such a great truth shrouded outside that small world."
The little old man was also in the expeditionary force, and I transformed him into a half-demon so that he could study the secrets of the universe for me longer, but even then he went to the limit of human life, and he signed up for the expeditionary force just to see with his own eyes the things he calculated before he died."
In the end, we didn't make it to the borders of the Space Bubble Zone, and the little old man was exposed to high-energy radiation on the day the expeditionary force decided to return, and soon died."
Before he died, he told me a sentence: fly so far away, look back the direction you came from, and everyone will realize that they were once a fool."
So I returned with the expeditionary force, and in the following year, began my plan for a unified war."
