Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: Multi-dimensional Space (Part 2)

“The sixth dimension, six dimensions represent three-dimensional time. On the foundation of the fifth dimension, we add a vertical axis. The horizontal axis represents the past and future, the vertical axis different parallel universes, and the high axis represents the space-time of any parallel universe’s past and future. Beings in the sixth dimension can freely manipulate time and space. The levels of different Divine Realms vary. As far as I know, the highest level Divine Realms can reach the level of the sixth dimension. The scope they cover is beyond imagination, not only vast but incredibly powerful and stable. Thus, one could say that Divine Realms begin with an understanding of the fourth dimension and then ascend to the fifth dimension, with some realms ultimately achieving the level of the sixth dimension.”

Lan Xuanyu took a sharp breath. “Even the most powerful Divine Realm is only in the sixth dimension. How overwhelming must the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth dimensions be?” Though he could not fully comprehend the dimension concepts Long Tianyang explained, he strained to memorize every word. Vaguely, it felt as though a brand-new door, holding an infinitely vast world, was slowly opening before him.

Long Tianyang continued: “Let me finish explaining. The seventh dimension is formed by connecting one point of infinite possibilities in the sixth dimension to another point of infinite possibilities. This connection creates a line, and that line constitutes the seventh dimension.”

“The eighth dimension is where two timelines from seventh-dimensional universes intersect, forming the eighth dimension. Creatures in the eighth dimension can traverse across various multiverses, each governed by different sets of rules. To put it simply, the matter, properties, and chemical reaction rules of each universe vary.”

“The ninth dimension can be imagined as a surface created by the eighth dimension. The ninth dimension then adds a rule-generating axis to the eighth dimension, transforming it into a three-dimensional space. In the ninth dimension, you can freely alter the rules of any universe—gravity, time, speed, and more can all be changed as desired.”

“The tenth dimension, however, returns to the zero dimension. It is both a point and an infinite spacetime, containing all universes, all possibilities, all timelines—everything, everything. What we imagine as a universe vast beyond measure might be nothing more than a grain of sand in the tenth dimension. But then again, could the grain of sand we see contain its own universe? No one knows.”

At this point, Long Tianyang paused. Lan Xuanyu felt as though his brain had been filled to bursting, and before he realized it, he had stopped walking. Lost in thought, his mind seemed to be constructing one universe after another, countless points and lines intertwining. His consciousness started to descend into chaos, his Spiritual Power becoming agitated, and his entire body began to shake uncontrollably.

“Wake up!” A soft yet sharp voice pierced through, extinguishing the chaos and pulling Lan Xuanyu’s consciousness back from its immersion.

Startling and shivering slightly, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes gradually regained clarity. In that brief moment, he distinctly felt his Spiritual Power had risen significantly, leaving only one step remaining to reach the realm of divine consciousness.

“Your comprehension is truly remarkable,” Long Tianyang remarked. “Upon hearing the secrets about the universe’s origin, most creatures fall into one of two categories. One group can’t understand it at all and hence won’t even attempt to grasp such fundamental truths. The other group spirals into disorder and may even experience cognitive disruptions, leading to chaotic insights about their world. Not even the Dragon Knights or Sky Horse Knights dare casually listen to me speak about these topics. The latter reaction usually happens exclusively to beings above God Rank. Yet you, still below God Rank, exhibited that response—and even managed to bring yourself back to control within a certain scope. That indeed is an extraordinary talent.”

Lan Xuanyu humbly replied, “Thank you for teaching me. Your explanation made it feel as though I suddenly glimpsed the most fundamental mysteries of this world. Many things I couldn’t understand before now seem to make sense. This feeling is truly wondrous. However, I still can’t say I’ve fully grasped it.”

Long Tianyang said, “As your cultivation level increases in the future, you’ll gradually come to understand. Now, let’s get back to our discussion. From the perspective of multi-dimensional space, the majority of Divine Realms are based on mastering the fourth dimension while grasping parts of the fifth dimension. They can possess physical forms while also being ethereal—a wondrous existence. The energy required to create such an extraordinary realm is unimaginable; it involves tapping into the universe’s forces. The tenth dimension and zero dimension are essentially the same; when space evolves from the ninth to the tenth dimension, that marks the moment of destruction for all universes. Conversely, when zero-dimensional space begins to change—from a point to a line, then to a plane—that signifies the moment of creation. Thus, theoretically speaking, the ninth dimension is the pinnacle attainable, and to achieve it would truly warrant the title of ‘God of Creation.’ But in reality, the God of Creation doesn’t exist. Even the ninth dimension remains forever out of reach for any intelligent being. Similarly, the eighth dimension is inaccessible unless one becomes the master of all universes. But that level is ultimately meaningless for us.”

“What we can touch upon and comprehend essentially remains within the bounds of the sixth dimension. The former Twin Sky Horse Stars were my experimental endeavor. When my life energy reached a sufficiently powerful level, I began attempting dimensional ascension—from the original three dimensions toward the fourth dimension. This ascension required me to grasp extensive amounts of three-dimensional space. Each higher-dimensional space is tantamount to countless overlays of the lower-dimensional spaces. Consequently, the split of Sky Dragon Planet and Sky Horse Star formed two separate planets. Their mutual relations and interdependencies created unique spaces distinct from each other. Their interplay enabled the formation of a four-dimensional space capable of accommodating other three-dimensional spaces. Additionally, it allowed absorption of far greater cosmic energy to sustain itself. This explains why these two planets harbor such massive life energy reserves.”

“Once I developed consciousness, there was actually a trace of energy within me from a higher dimension—perhaps of the sixth dimension’s level. This allowed me to continue evolving until I stably reached the level of four-dimensional space.”

Under her explanation, Lan Xuanyu gradually began to gain clarity about multi-dimensional spaces. “So, what you mean is that the original Sky Dragon Planet and Sky Horse Star already reached the level of four-dimensional existence. Doesn’t that mean further progress could lead them into the fifth dimension, thus forming a Divine Realm?”

Long Tianyang smiled bitterly, “Easier said than done! Building the foundation of four-dimensional space took me tens of millions of years. Achieving the fifth dimension from my level is nearly impossible. Crossing into Divine Realm territory doesn’t merely rely on the accumulation of life energy. It necessitates breakthroughs at an even higher level. That’s why I have been supporting the growth of intelligent life, helping them break through to higher states. I’ve also been attempting to learn from Divine Realms. But around twenty thousand years ago, the Divine Realm suddenly vanished. At the time, I had just started to gain some insights and was beginning my evolution in that direction. The Divine Realm aided my evolution, which also benefited it immensely. The moment I successfully evolved, the newly formed Divine Realm merging with the original would allow it to ascend dimensions. As the original Divine Realm, it would oversee everything, while I would have become part of it—a mutually beneficial arrangement for both of us.”

“However, its disappearance led to a loss of control over everything, causing issues for many planets like mine. My situation was among the most severe. As you may know, Divine Realms possess divine positions; these positions essentially serve as coordinates established in the fifth dimension. Having such coordinates allows eternal existence within the fifth dimension. To gain such coordinates, one first needs to transcend the limits of three-dimensional existence and attain four-dimensional capabilities. This constitutes God Rank. Conversely, when the Divine Realm detects such breakthroughs, it integrates these individuals into itself, further enhancing its strength while preventing their excessive powers from disrupting dimensional balance. This explains why ordinary strong beings cannot contend with God Rank beings—the former face suppression at a lower-dimensional level, unable to resist the downward pressure of dimensional collapse.”

“Without the Divine Realm, beings initially destined to ascend are left behind in their original world. If they exercise restraint, such as you humans, it can be somewhat manageable. But for those who exploit their powers without moderation, extracting excessively from their world or aiming for higher dimensional breakthroughs at any cost, they create major problems—like the issues I’ve faced.”
