Chapter 1399: 462. Paradise Supreme

“A year is a unit of time.”

“A light year is a unit of distance, representing the total length light travels at the speed of light in a year.”

“Assuming the speed of light is unchangeable, then the length of 1 light year is constant.”

“An event occurred at point A. Point B1, which is 1 light year away from point A, will observe this event at A 1 year later.”

“Similarly, points B2, B3, and B4, which are 2 light years, 3 light years, and 4 light years away from point A, will observe the event at A two years later, three years later, and four years later, respectively.”

“The farther away from point A, the more of A’s history we can see.”

“By relying on this theory, we can observe the past but cannot predict the future.”

“But just helping us observe the past is already enough.”

“Because the questions we most want to know are, where does life come from, what is the origin of everything, what was the beginning of the universe like.”

“All these questions can be summarized in one sentence:”

“Where does the first beam of light in the universe come from?”

“Without light, we cannot see things; we would not have the concepts of light speed and light years.”

“Without light, our measurement of time and space would be vague.”

“Without light, we would be unable to use spatial folding technology to travel to places trillions of light years away and see what the universe looked like at the beginning.”

“It is my honor to tell you all that the exploration team from Dillan Paradise, which arrived at the edge of the universe yesterday, has observed the entire history of the universe and discovered the source of the first luminous beam.”

The place called Dillan Paradise controls an area spanning thousands of billions of light years.

Its most famous technology is precisely the spatial folding technique.

In the transportation and logistics fields, the spatial folding technique is also known as “Quantum Leap Technology.”

It can form a folded and compressed leap space between the starting point and the endpoint, allowing any object to traverse distances measurable in light years and instantly arrive at the destination.

In the field of planet construction, spatial folding technique is often gloriously referred to as “Planet Shrinking Technique.”

It can compress planets with diameters over 10,000 kilometers, boiling burning stars, fast-spinning neutron stars, and even black holes that absorb everything, into glass balls the size of a fingertip.”

By compressing building materials, construction teams, and residents to the nanoscale level using spatial folding technology, and placing them on similarly compressed planets, these planets, now reduced to glass beads, can be reconstructed from a microscopic level.”

In the field of asset management, spatial folding technology represents absolute control, absolute domination, absolute possession.”

Has the planet been exhausted of resources, leaving only old mining facilities and severely damaged robots?

Crush it.

Has a severe epidemic occurred on the planet, or has there been a global natural disaster?

Crush it.

Are there saboteurs on the planet spreading rumors, trying to seize control of the planet, but you can’t find these saboteurs?

Crush it.

With the mastery of spatial folding technology, each big shot at Dillan Paradise will never lack planets.”

They can use one day to turn the planets within a galaxy into their own glass beads, or they can use a day to crush planets, watching them turn into cosmic dust.”

This is the ruling relationship since the appearance of spatial folding technology.”

And these big shots could become big shots based on only one criterion:

“As long as I can compress you with spatial folding technology and you can’t compress me, then I am your master.”

Only life creatures that cannot compress each other with spatial folding technology can sit equally and jointly create the universe paradise called “Dillan.”

At this moment, in a space area devoid of any planets, thousands of colossal entities covered in glass beads are “standing” around a central ethereal screen.

The ethereal screen is the moderator of this meeting and was the entity that just now announced the good news to the attendees.”

Accompanied by its speech, the ethereal screen displayed the edge of the universe.”

Ahead was rich deep black without a trace of light.”

Behind were colorful images, each strand of light, each twinkling point, representing a piece of history.”

The exploration team from Dillan Paradise was exactly at the boundary between the universe and outer space at this moment.”

The deep black space ahead is the time outside the universe, where there is no light except for darkness.”

The light emitted from within the universe is the universe’s pioneer.”

They not only carry the history of various places in the universe but also illuminate the dark space outside the universe, expanding the territory of the universe.”

However, what the exploration team and everyone in Dillan Paradise saw was all based on the premise that the universe was still expanding outward.”

Almost at the moment the exploration team transmitted the image of the universe’s edge back to the people in paradise, a terrible message came from the exploration team, causing unrest among the attendees at paradise.”

“Ladies and Gentlemen, we have received reliable information: our exploration team has discovered that the speed of light at the edge of the universe is slowing down. To be precise, the closer to the edge of the universe, the slower the speed of light. This phenomenon intensified after the exploration team reached the edge of the universe.”

“In the worst prediction, we will see the light at the edge of the universe stop advancing in 30 minutes. By then, the light might merge at the edge of the universe, or it might also fade away at the boundary.”
