Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 1351 - 2: Destiny Is a Monumental Joke (Part 1)
The Supreme Lord is reading a book.
A book called "Number One Player (Su Ming’an)".
The reason it caught His attention is because the story is tagged with labels like "game otherworld, all heavens flow, apocalypse, reversal, western fantasy, refreshing story", which He finds very intriguing.
The reason for wanting to read the book is due to the universe’s "entropy increase law":
...
The entropy increase law is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics.
"Entropy" means "degree of chaos". The higher the "entropy" of a system, the greater the degree of chaos in the system.
For example, when fuel burns, chemical energy is converted into thermal and light energy. In this process, "entropy" usually increases because energy conversion is often accompanied by an increase in chaos.
So it is with the universe.
In the early universe, it was relatively ordered, with low "entropy". But as the universe expands, energy distribution becomes more uniform, "entropy" gradually increases, and the universe becomes more chaotic.
Just like stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, it is the presence of "entropy" that causes the universe to constantly expand and matter to scatter, celestial bodies to keep moving away from each other, forming a broader universe space.
——So a simple understanding of the entropy increase law is that things inevitably go from order to disorder.
The higher the "entropy" value, the higher the degree of chaos and disorder, and it is an irreversible process, for example: no matter how well maintained, items will get older. Another example, as the human body becomes more chaotic and disordered internally, people will age until death.
The existence of the entropy increase law accelerates evolution, allowing for the diversification of cosmic civilizations. But when the diversity of things reaches its extreme, it can lead to internal chaos and disorder.
In short, it is like a classroom with many students, if everyone is a well-behaved child with strong coordination, life will be very smooth. But if diversity grows, with lively ones, quiet ones, Noel, Edward, Mizushima Kawa Sora, and Boris, then their internal state will gradually become chaotic, disordered, even leading to destruction.
This is the entropy increase law of the universe——from order to disorder, from certainty to uncertainty, from fixed to chaos.
But not all things conform to this law of entropy increase.
——Life.
Life is an extraordinarily magical thing, and sometimes it defies this law.
Schrodinger, the founding father of quantum mechanics, proposed that the essence of life is a negative entropy system, which reduces its entropy increase by ingesting negative entropy.
For instance, when the human body gradually moves towards aging and death, medical technology can help reduce the chaos level within, decrease the "entropy" value, significantly extending life and achieving reversal.
Although the overall "entropy" value of the universe continues to increase and is irreversible, local entropy reduction can occur. It’s precisely because the universe allows for this condition of entropy reduction that life came into existence. Therefore, life, especially intelligent life, is extremely unique in the universe, and they find various ways to achieve entropy reduction.
Therefore, some people believe.
——The existence of cosmic civilization is to achieve entropy reduction.
The significance of life is to return disorder to order, extending the life of civilization.
If the entropy increase continues to expand, the universe will eventually reach a state of thermal balance, where there will be no transformation and movement of any matter and energy, and all biological activities will cease.
This implies the destruction of all life.
...
This is why the Supreme Lord reads the book.
This "book" is not in the ordinary sense, in His eyes, it is a prop that can delay the increase of cosmic entropy.
Everything in the universe relies on energy to manifest and operate, whether it is material energy or consciousness energy.
When a life’s positional rank is high enough, or due to some other special reason, the traces left by this individual in the long river of universe time, including material traces and consciousness traces, will quietly form a "space-time record body", which records the birth, experience, and death of this individual in real-time.
Once this "space-time record body" appears, it is without warning, does not notify the person, and often floats among the cosmic star seas like an invisible cosmic junk. The cosmic junk that Dieying is picking includes this kind of "space-time record body".
In the long drift, the "space-time record body" can be perceived by other life forms and thus read——like a [book] floating in the universe.
Its essence is the record of the individual’s consciousness, gathering all the inspiration, wisdom, and order of the deceased life in the form of the best connection chain, tightly bound like molecular cells, presented in the form of text, orderly and fixed. It does not dissipate chaotically, nor does it wander disorderly.
It is fixed, orderly, and cannot be altered, whatever page is turned is destined to be the content of that page.
Collecting this type of "space-time record body" is beneficial for higher dimensions to appreciate the mysteries of different civilizations and resist the internal entropy increase.
——This is also the forming principle of the Memory Clip. However, the Memory Clip is limited to the scope of Luowasha, with space-time record bodies being one level higher, belonging to the domain of higher dimensions and the universe.
Thus, the Supreme Lord is always in search of the "space-time record body" to combat entropy increase.
Over the long years, the Supreme Lord has already read many lives’ "space-time record bodies"——some lives belonged to the civilization of western fantasy, spending their entire lives teaching magic; some came from a civilization full of zombies, spending their lives fighting zombies... Most of these people have died, leaving only "space-time record bodies" like wills, floating in the consciousness dimension of the universe.
By appreciating the stories of these life forms, the Supreme Lord gains much and feels a refreshing end-of-story pleasure, while also continuously extending His own lifespan.
He becomes increasingly obsessed with finding and witnessing more colorful "space-time record bodies".
On a serendipitous day, the Supreme Lord perceived Su Ming’an’s "space-time record body". It was purely by chance, simply because His thought frequency aligned with Su Ming’an’s "space-time record body" for a millisecond, leading to a distant resonance.
All "space-time record bodies" are discovered through resonance.
Given the vastness of the universe’s time scale, the Supreme Lord’s years have become immeasurable, and the "space-time record bodies" He previously read generally came from lifeforms that had long since died. But this time, the "space-time record body" He sensed came from a 19-year-old living life. This life was still alive, constantly leaving material traces and consciousness traces.
Hence, this 19-year-old life’s "space-time record body" is like a book that is continuously updating its traces.
——The Supreme Lord, by reading this book, is essentially witnessing the life of another person, far away in the vast universe.
...
The story is full of twists and turns.
The protagonist Su Ming’an breaks through the world game, meeting all kinds of partners and enduring hardships from fellow brethren. He is doubted by many fellow brethren like Mizushima Kawa Sora, Edward, and Xue Qixia. However, the protagonist Su Ming’an merely smirks, entering the fray, teasing all beings, stirring the wind and clouds.
The story also includes many supporting roles. A white-haired youth burdened with family hatred, a blonde youth yearning to embrace the New World, and the Cloud City God adept at tea art...
Who says there is no Great Emperor in the world game? See——Number One Player Huo Zhonghang, navigating through wind and rain with ease!
The Supreme Lord is gradually drawn to this life, as the plot twists constantly catch Him off guard, and the rich emotional entanglements open His eyes. It gradually becomes His favorite "space-time record body" sensed over thousands of years.
Of course, not because the plot is well-written, but because this "space-time record body" holds value——this 19-year-old life appears to be extraordinary.
He might possess a high positional rank authority.
Otherwise, there is no explaining his many acts of foresight in the plot.
The Supreme Lord invested a great deal of effort to comprehend everything in the story. Unfortunately, since the 19-year-old youth corresponding to this "space-time record body" is still alive, all traces appear in real-time and are not recorded completely, so He must wait for updates.
The traces of words on the book update to where that person is experiencing.
When He first discovered this "Space-time Record Body," this 19-year-old had just entered the Newbie Dungeon, with everything else blank.
Thus, He waited all along, waited for the youth to walk forward little by little, then slowly followed the gradually appearing words to watch.
He was always far away in the universe, witnessing the youth’s growth and life.
...
[Newbie World·"Love".]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an enters the World Game, uncovers the conspiracy of Shen Xue and Liu Anna, and successfully reverses the situation.
However, the Supreme Lord sensed a trace of discord, He vaguely felt something had been reversed, twice.
Initially judged, it should originate from Su Ming’an’s Authority.
...
[First World·"Will the one picking mushrooms be a cute little girl?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an discovers the secret of the Apocalypse, bringing blue skies and white clouds.
...
[Second World·"Will mechanical men become beautiful new brides?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an saves Elisa as a Rebel Army but witnesses her dying at the fourth day’s dawn, initiating Reincarnation.
...
[Third World·"Will Alice be a campus little Angel?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an kills Shen Xue, ending the Eternal campus.
...
[Fourth World·"Will the lost Traveler become a Pilgrim?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an reverses the Werewolf camp, takes away Moli trapped in the shrine, and witnesses the Ghosts’ departure.
...
[Fifth World·"Will the Dragon Slayer become the ultimate Evil Dragon?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an discovers the truth of the coming-of-age ceremony, as the Continent’s Sage Master, letting the Talent Bloodline Awakening Formation’s results, like the wind, fly across the corners of the Continent.
Seeing this, the Supreme Lord faintly sensed something amiss; this Combat Power 9999 Holy Initiation shouldn’t be so simple.
...
[Sixth World·"Will the bad kid become a good student?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an witnesses the growth of Dong Xue and Yang Xia, the sheep in the rainy season falling into the rain, the vast sky, a beam of light converging into another beam of light.
...
[Seventh World·"Will the mourner chant the poem of Paradise?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an offers a Red Rose, the glorious Cloud City falling in the scorching present.
...
[Eighth World·"Will the delusional monster crave Redemption?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an intervenes in the faith battle between Bai Shen and Jiu Shen, helping the betrayed believer Xiber achieve victory.
Seeing this, the Supreme Lord recognizes Old God Aria.
He remembers Aria as the fourth seat of the World Game’s Organizers; little did He expect the fourth seat to get involved.
...
[Ninth World·"Will the Electronic Heart dream of the Thing of Truth?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an, as Dr. Acto, guides the grid-like time Three Dimensions Dawn Plan, spanning four timelines, a hundred and two harsh winters, two thousand three hundred simulations, witnessing fifty billion seven hundred ten million sacrifices... leading the Ruined World to victory in the Civilization War.
This is a World where Su Ming’an’s mental state is extremely poor; the Supreme Lord repeatedly feels Su Ming’an might not persist, "Space-time Record Body" might end here, resulting in the Recorder’s death.
Yet unexpectedly, new traces never cease. A 19-year-old human remains resolute, walking forward, making the impossible possible, even achieving an unimaginable victory.
He begins to understand why Authority would appear on him; at least he has this qualification.
...
[Tenth World·"Will the dreamer mourn the Death of Butterfly?"]
——The protagonist Su Ming’an enters the trap-filled World of Old Days, crossing millennial Republic and myriad timelines with the help of Li Mingyue and Chang Ge, achieving a miracle where human primitive civilization defies High Dimensions.
The Supreme Lord recognizes Dieying. Though He and Dieying have no relation, He has heard of Dieying’s story; this Star Sea wanderer is rather famous, albeit always quite tragic, betting recklessly and hitting a hard wall.
Fortunately, Su Ming-an’s mental state has not collapsed. He’s like a resilient rubber ball, even when flattened, after a while it bounces back by itself.
...
The process of witnessing persisted for over half a year.
The Supreme Lord put aside all matters, continually perceiving everything happening by the "Space-time Record Body," sensing the real-time traces left by Su Ming’an.
When He is in pain, He looks at "Number One Player (Su Ming’an)." When He is numb, He looks at "Number One Player (Su Ming’an)." When He is in despair, He looks at "Number One Player (Su Ming’an)."
In the previous long years, He occasionally had thoughts of suicide, but since viewing Su Ming-An’s Space-time Record Body, He no longer wants to die. Because watching this story, the desire to die is stronger than in reality.
Throughout the reading process, the Supreme Lord consistently tried to help Su Ming’an.
After all, with Su Ming’an alive, He has the opportunity to perceive.
Since He initially discovered Su Ming’an’s "Space-time Record Body" due to their mind frequencies coincidentally aligning, resulting in resonance. Therefore, the Supreme Lord recorded this resonance frequency and attempted to converse with Su Ming’an.
