Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

297: After becoming a higher-dimensional life form, I saw the truth of the universe!”What is that?”

When Lu Chen took Su Qingying through the dimensional gate constructed by the core of the ”genesis engine,” which was filled with twisted light and shadows, they did not arrive at the treasure vault they had imagined, nor did they see piles of super weapons.

What appeared before them was a void.

Absolute void.

There were no stars, no light, and not even the concepts of space and time. They seemed to be suspended at a non-existent ”point,” surrounded by endless grayness; that sense of oppression was enough to drive any normal person insane in an instant.

”This is the crevice of dimensions.”

Lu Chen’s voice became ethereal and distant, as if it were coming from all directions simultaneously.

At this moment, the gold and silver light in his eyes had become intensely concentrated, even overflowing from his eye sockets to form a sacred halo behind him. With the leap in his life form and the full authorization of the ”genesis engine,” his current perspective was no longer limited to three dimensions.

He was ”seeing.”

Using a way that transcended senses and logic to ”see” the essence of this world.

”Don’t be afraid, hold on to me.”

Lu Chen reached out and grasped Su Qingying’s trembling little hand. A warm current came through his palm; it was the protection of Higher Dimensions energy, shielding Su Qingying from being torn apart by dimensional turbulence.

”What I am going to show you is not weapons.”

”But the truth.”

Lu Chen slowly raised his other hand toward the dead, silent void before him and waved it gently.

”Open!”

Boom—!!!

It was as if a giant black cloth had been violently ripped away; the originally gray world instantly collapsed and reorganized!

Immediately after, a terrifying scene, one that would make Su Qingying unforgettable for eternity and even cause every scientist in the entire universe to suffer brain death on the spot, was revealed before her eyes without reservation!

”Ah—!!!”

Su Qingying couldn’t help but let out a gasp; she subconsciously covered her mouth, her pupils contracting violently, as if she had seen some indescribable horror.

What did she see?

She saw a river.

A long river composed of countless brilliant points of light, rushing ceaselessly, with no source and no end!

But it was not water, nor was it stars.

That was—time!

In that long river, every splash was the rise and fall of an era, and every droplet was the birth and death of a life. The past, the present, and the future all existed simultaneously in this river!

The chariots of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu were still racing, while future starships had already set sail; dinosaurs were still roaring, while human civilization had already turned to dust.

Everything was happening, and everything had ended.

This was the universe from a four-dimensional perspective—the River of Time and Space!

”Is—is this the essence of time?” Su Qingying asked tremblingly. This intuitive visual impact was ten thousand times more shocking than any dry physics formula.

”Not just that.”

Lu Chen shook his head; his gaze did not linger on the River of Time and Space, but instead turned toward a place further and higher.

”Qingying, look up.”

”Look?”

Su Qingying subconsciously looked up.

At this glance, her whole body froze completely.

If the River of Time and Space had shocked her, then the scene above her head filled her with deep despair.

Above her head, in the endless dimensions above, floated gigantic, transparent bubbles that emitted a faint light.

Yes, bubbles.

Countless bubbles were squeezed together densely, floating in an indescribable ocean of chaos. Inside every bubble, countless galaxies, nebulae, and black holes flickered.

”That is...” Su Qingying’s voice was so dry it sounded like it was about to shatter.

”That’s right.”

Lu Chen’s voice was terrifyingly calm.

”That is our universe.”

He pointed his finger at one of the bubbles that looked ordinary, and even a bit dim.

”Look, that is the universe where our Milky Way Galaxy and our Local Group are located.”

”It is not infinite.”

”It has boundaries.”

”It is just like a soap bubble that has been blown, fragile, closed, and tiny.”

Lu Chen’s finger moved slowly, pointing to the other dense bubbles beside that one.

”And there are countless such bubbles in this ocean of ’Multiverse’.”

”In every bubble, countless civilizations are struggling, fighting, and desperate for survival.”
