236: Section 236

This was true for the limitless ziwei great throne.

The Multiversal Silver Net and the Astral Express were no different!

Hexi's pretty face flushed slightly.

Hiss!—

When did her little male god become this handsome?

With a light chuckle, Su Ming said, "Let's go, walk with me for a bit..."

Giving a soft hum of agreement, Hexi didn't act shy. She leaned against Su Ming, her face flushed as if intoxicated by her male god's pure and beautiful aura. She followed closely behind Su Ming's footsteps, carried toward Earth by the golden light rails!

Hexi's actions were habitual for her.

But...

This act terrified the other Angel sisters.

Even though their hands didn't stop moving, the Psychic Channel network had completely exploded!

: "...No, this is fake, right?"

: "That... that's the Heavenly Base King? Hiss!— Wait a second, let a sister catch her breath first..."

: "I don't understand. The King of Heavenly Principles is indeed outstanding, but... I can't figure it out. When did an Angel as rational as the Heavenly Base King swear to protect the King of Heavenly Principles?"

: "Exactly! Looking at how natural the Heavenly Base King is acting, maybe... they've been together for a long time!"

: "The problem is, Zhixin is the Heavenly Base King's disciple, right? Hiss!— Why is this so ship-worthy!"

: "Agreed! Hehe! Master and disciple... hehe!— It really is a great ship!"

: "Um... sisters, I have a very incredible theory! Want to hear it?"

: "Speak!"

: "Out with it!"

: "Plus one!"

: "Stop, stop, stop. I was thinking... if the Heavenly Base King and the King of Heavenly Principles are already like this, then... ahem, you know..."

: "Hiss!—"

: "Hiss!—"

: "Hiss!—"

On the Star Nest platform, A-Zhui and Moyi, who had just stepped out of carriage #001, smiled at each other. Yitian stood dumbfounded, looking at A-Zhui and Moyi in disbelief.

On Yitian's face and in her eyes was an urgent need for confirmation...

As well as...

A mix of anticipation and trepidation, the kind felt when about to touch upon a taboo.

Yitian was like this.

Lingxi, Fanxing, Luoluan, and Qingqing, the four girls who had just folded their wings before Su Ming, were even more so!

In response.

A-Zhui and Moyi simply nodded with mischievous smiles, everything left unsaid but understood...

Chapter 270: Cognitive Dimensional Reduction and the End of the Evil God

Su Ming's return did not cause any impact on the terrified Earth.

The domains he and the Angels operated in were too high-end.

With supernatural phenomena being difficult to observe on Earth, Su Ming and the others, bolstered by anti-memetic effects, basically did not exist to the beings of Earth.

So.

When Su Ming took Hexi for a stroll around Earth.

And secretly, quietly killed several demigods of faith, no one realized that during this time...

Earth had been forcibly pushed into the Age of Godlessness by Su Ming!

Not only that.

Even the fact that Earth itself had been eternally dyed by the Circle of Reason went unnoticed.

With Su Ming's permission, Hexi witnessed a bizarre sight from outer space—Earth, which should have been an ordinary life-bearing planet, was now surrounded by a super-giant ring shimmering with the glow of a multitude of stars!

"That star ring is..."

"Yes, it is the manifestation of the Circle of Reason..."

Hexi's expression was complex:

"So, Earth has become a toy in the palm of your hand?"

Su Ming shook his head:

"Calling it a collection is more accurate. You know, Hexi, just by virtue of the Dream Multiverse attached to the Circle of Reason, I will never stand on the opposite side of life..."

She rolled her eyes. He made it sound nice, but the problem was...

When Su Ming's principles integrated all phenomena of Earth, and the frontier theories of human civilization's research and exploration...

113

Were they studying a marginal corner of an anomaly named [Su Ming], or were they studying the truths of the universe? The answer seemed Self-evident.

But...

Given Su Ming's growth speed.

Hexi had to admit that he would soon ascend to become 'Him'!

By then, Su Ming's plan to replace the Heavenly Will with his own Mind might have already succeeded...

At that point...

Earth, the first to be dyed by the Circle of Reason...

Would instead become the chosen child of the next version of the universe! Simply because they had walked the earliest and furthest within the framework of the Circle of Reason...

Sighing, Hexi asked with a serious expression:

"My little male god, answer me seriously. For someone like you, using your own information volume to overwrite the reality of a conventional universe..."

"How large must the difference in cognitive magnitude be for a civilization to fall into a state of Cognitive Dimensional Reduction?"

Hmm?

Cognitive Dimensional Reduction?

Su Ming's eyes lit up:

"Good idea, why didn't I think of that before!"

What was Cognitive Dimensional Reduction?

It was simple.

Forcibly nesting a worldview with a massive amount of information onto a real civilization. From then on, the upper limit of that civilization's development would be locked.

Their pursuit of knowledge and exploration would forever be confined within the framework set by Su Ming!

Even better.

Su Ming could achieve such a feat right now!

Hexi was so exasperated she laughed. She reached out, about to perform a set of Nine Yin Skeleton Claws to let her bratty child understand the ferocity of an Angel...

Su Ming dodged quickly, not daring to continue teasing his silver-haired Angel big sister:

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you... roughly a difference of 2.25 magnitudes in information volume is enough to cause the Cognitive Dimensional Reduction strike you mentioned!"

Hexi clicked her tongue:

"That's quite impressive... In the Known Universe, except for God-making Civilizations, any other civilization would easily have a cognitive gap of over 2.5 magnitudes before you..."

Walking upon the sea, Su Ming smiled without a word.

2.5 magnitudes?

Too shallow!

If the Way of Star Casting was superimposed, using Qiankun Yi Qi to encompass the laws of a world, let alone non-God-making Civilizations, even civilizations just entering the god-making level wouldn't fare well!

In fields like spacetime, dimensions, stars, Mind, and Self, they might even unconsciously step into the cognitive trap Su Ming wove for them. If he were more malicious, he could induce that civilization to continuously progress within a limited framework in those fields...

One day.

It wouldn't be impossible for a grand God-making Civilization to destroy itself because it couldn't control its own Creations!

Right at that moment.

Ah!—

A shrill, agonizing wail exploded from the seabed.

Extreme resentment spread, causing even the ocean ten thousand meters above to frost over!

"Whoa! Such a domineering Instant-death check! Midnight's move is becoming more and more otherworldly..."

Hexi's eyes flickered as she stared at an empty corner of the void, whispering under her breath.

The Eye of Insight penetrated the isolation of the ten-thousand-meter deep sea, allowing Hexi to glimpse the Ancient Evil God. Even though it had successfully resisted the Instant-death check, it had visibly withered as a result.

Awoo!—

The Ancient Evil God let out a frenzied roar.

Tentacles flailed wildly.

The poor seabed terrain was once again subjected to violent reshaping.

A gust of cold wind swirled.

Midnight's voice rang in their ears.

[Master! You have finally returned! Oh right, Lady Hexi, hello to you too!]

Glancing at the midnight rose in the dimensional crack, currently in its Dead River March state, and the silhouette standing solemnly like a Banshee Queen on the bow deck.

"Good work, Midnight... Come back!"

With a boom.

The dimensional gap opened silently, the Dead River surged, and the eerie, sinister hull of the midnight rose stood atop the waves.

This was the first time Midnight had summoned the midnight rose into reality right in front of the victim.

Such an action.

Naturally, it completely enraged the Ancient Evil God lurking in the deep sea.

With a mix of madness, killing intent, and a chaotic desire for inquiry, the Ancient Evil God actively broke out of its slumber!

The moment a pair of frenzied blood-red eyes, fifty meters in diameter, opened at the bottom of the deep sea.

Nearly three hundred kilometers of sea area fell into the Evil God's chaotic domain. In that instant, the flesh of living beings mutated, and the seawater was filled with a blasphemous malice!

Tides surged, and the four seas stood tall!

However.

Su Ming raised his hand and pressed down.

With a roar, a Starlight Fall occurred!

Guided by starlight, projections of celestial bodies crashed down from across the void.

Before the mutated creatures could even display their chaotic nature, they were forcibly annihilated into sludge by the overwhelming magnitude of the celestial projections!

Boom!—

A thousand-meter-high water column shot into the sky.

The Ancient Evil God, which had just poked half its head out from the seabed, was instantly sent reeling by the impact.

With a thought.
