Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 461 - 014: Multi-universe and Crystal Wall System
The protagonist of the notes, although just a member of the peripheral researchers of the Arcane Council, had some snippets recorded in that thick notebook about the Multi-universe.
Once, he needed a specific experimental material, so he applied for the usage of the Gate of Truth to visit a Wizard Plane.
The cultivation system there was primarily focused on wizards, but it was far inferior compared to the arcane path.
The plane was barren, and the Arcane Council hadn’t colonized or plundered it.
The note’s owner gathered some experimental materials in that wizard plane and had a conflict with a local wizard strongman, whom he easily crushed, and then returned to the Arcane Council on a certain date.
This small incident in the notes was insignificant, yet it caught Austin’s attention.
Because, according to the notes, the note’s owner crossed in his true form and used a certain arcane method to kill the encountered wizard strongman.
Originally, there wasn’t anything particularly noteworthy about this.
But combining it with Austin’s own experience, it raised a profound question.
Why was the power of the arcane system able to take effect in that wizard plane?
Through the Gate of Truth in his mind, Austin had crossed two worlds, one being the Martial Hero World, the other the World of Spiritual Awakening.
Both worlds had their own power systems.
One was True Qi, the other Qi and Blood.
And neither magic nor Fighting Qi could be cultivated in either of these worlds.
Conversely, the cultivation systems of these two worlds couldn’t be cultivated in the Main World either.
The True Qi and Inner Strength in the Martial Hero World couldn’t have any effect in the Spiritual Energy Awakening Plane either.
Different rules, different power systems.
The Qi and Blood Power that Austin currently cultivated, although derived from the same path as the Qi and Blood cultivation in the Spiritual Energy Awakening Plane, in reality, were merely similar in concept; the actual cultivation methods and energy sources had long been worlds apart.
By estimation, even if Austin could cross to the Martial Hero World in his true form, he still wouldn’t be able to use magic there.
Because the Martial Hero World fundamentally lacks magic power.
Previously, Austin speculated it was an issue of the world’s roots, as different roots led to incompatible power systems.
But now, why could the power of the arcane system take effect within the Wizard Plane?
"Multi-universe... perhaps, I’m mistaken..."
Holding the notes, he continued to browse.
He hoped to find an answer in this notebook.
The notes continued to record the owner’s several crossings through worlds using the Gate of Truth.
As he read more information, Austin’s suspicion became increasingly certain.
The arcane power being effective in other planes of the Multi-universe was not due to the universality of arcane power, but very likely due to the Multi-universe itself being in a derivative world system of the same basic worldview!
Although he had no idea how the Arcane Council established the Gate of Truth back then,
Austin couldn’t imagine what a colossal entity the Arcane Council was in those years,
He learned in the notebook’s first half that the note’s owner joined an organization of peripheral researchers of the Arcane Council, numbering over a hundred thousand.
Despite being vast, Austin felt something was peculiar.
But continued reading revealed that the peripheral researcher organization was only aimed at the "Arcane Power Furnace Shell Research" project under the Arcane Council!
A very frightening number.
How many researchers there really were, Austin couldn’t guess.
But regardless, seeing through a small part, from the note owner’s dozen or so cross-dimensional experiences and the bits of record about the Gate of Truth, the planes the Gate of Truth crossed into are very likely a Multi-universe plane system with the same basic world laws!
This was a reasonable conjecture he made based on the notebook’s records.
"Why is my situation so different?"
Recalling his own experiences, Austin made some guesses based on novels he had read in his previous life.
Perhaps the world his soul traversed to does not belong within the same Crystal Wall System as this world.
Yes, the Crystal Wall System.
Beyond this world’s Multi-universe, there are other Multi-universes.
A Multi-universe composed of countless planes based on the same worldview forms a Crystal Wall System.
Presumably, other Martial Hero and Spiritual Energy Awakening planes his soul traversed are from another Crystal Wall System.
"If that’s the case, then some things make sense, only, why is it so? What exactly is the Gate of Truth, is it truly the supreme crystallization created by the Arcane Council?"
Countless doubts surged in his heart.
Recalling the changes when he initially came into contact with the Gate of Truth’s base, Austin vaguely realized something.
Maybe it’s an issue with the soul.
His soul originally came from another world, beyond this Multi-universe’s Crystal Wall System.
This might be the reason his soul could cross dimensions using the Gate of Truth.
And Austin’s crossing doesn’t seem to be that simple...
Several years ago, during the battle to destroy the Beastman Royal Court, Austin saw various modern vehicles and weapons in the Royal Court, which had a special kind of magic attached.
At that time, Austin’s realm was too low, his insight not deep enough, so he naturally couldn’t see the deeper layers.
He thought those special magic arrays were to prevent the leak of weapons and tools, so that when they fell into enemy hands, they’d be destroyed, preventing the enemy from acquiring their weapons.
But now it seems, that’s not the case.
Those magic arrays attached on top were more like protection, ensuring those creations could exist in this world.
Once the magic array was destroyed, the weapons and tools exposed to the air would make full contact with this world.
Due to the foundational laws of the world, material form becomes unstable, ultimately collapsing without a trace left behind.
In his previous life, Austin read some scientific theories.
Some scientists speculated that black holes might lead to another universe with entirely different physical laws, where the basic speed of light is greater or less than 300,000 kilometers per second.
However, at the atomic level composing matter, the electron speed level surrounding the nucleus is related to the speed of light in a vacuum.
Once the speed of light in the external vacuum changes, the basic material atoms composing an object would, due to the electron energy level, undergo a major collapse, causing matter to no longer exist.
Therefore, if black holes really lead to a world with entirely different physical laws, humans would be hard-pressed to probe the world of another universe through ordinary means.
