Chapter 290: Chapter 179: Superstring Entities, the True Face of 'God', and Mother Returning Home (4K)_2
"The same principle applies, if 1+1=2 was altered to 1+1=1, the same effect would be achieved, only in reverse: the universe would continuously collapse, eventually condensing into a point... a point without size, without density, but one that definitely exists."
Wu Youqing stated a terrifying truth casually.
In front of "Superstring Entities"... that is, the gods, the so-called universe was indeed so fragile.
Hearing such words easily gave rise to a sense of nihilism as if everything up till now was meaningless.
Xue Jing sighed softly, as he too, unavoidably felt a flicker of this feeling.
No wonder Wu Youqing said it was too early for him to be exposed to these things.
"Of course, just listen and don't think too much about it."
Seeing him a bit silent, Wu Youqing smiled.
"We've known for centuries that Earth Star is merely a speck of dust in the universe, and humans are nothing more than parasites that live on it through its long life... the principle is the same, we need not ponder such grand narratives, just focus on the present."
"Although Superstring Entities can manipulate the Cosmic Strings, they are not absolutely omnipotent. At least altering what 1+1 equals isn't something they can just do randomly."
"The world we now live in, although the native Superstring Entity... that is, 'God' has already died, to this day, no other gods have entered our world, which shows how difficult it is for them to influence our world."
"We have a long time... even until we die, there's no need to worry about how to face the 'Superstring Entities'."
"Focus on the present," said Wu Youqing emphatically.
Xue Jing nodded, his strong spiritual consciousness turning into a Tsukuyomi Slash, directly cutting through the sense of void and returning to normal.
He spoke up, puzzled, "Mrs. Wu, after all you've said, what is your Blessed Heretic God?"
Wu Youqing picked up her teacup, sipped from it lightly, and tapped his head with a plastic fork as if teaching:
"What's the rush? We haven't gotten to that yet."
After a pause, she continued:
"Now that you understand what Cosmic Strings and Superstring Entities are, we can move on to even higher concepts..."
Xue Jing helplessly said, "...there's something even higher?"
He began to regret asking.
It even felt like Ban might not be able to keep up with what Wu Youqing was explaining.
He used to think that with Ban, he would eventually become an invincible entity... now it seems a bit uncertain.
Wu Youqing laughed and said, "Besides our world, there are so many other heretic gods, so many other worlds, how could there not be something even higher?"
Xue Jing sighed lightly, "...please continue, teacher."
But Wu Youqing didn't continue explaining immediately, instead, she mused for a moment and said:
"What I'm about to tell you, even the foremost human scholars don't know... probably only we who can communicate with the 'gods' to some extent know these things."
Xue Jing tapped the table with his finger, "Is it okay to tell me then?"
Wu Youqing hummed affirmatively, nodding, "It should be fine... I've said before, your nature... is even more special than The Chosen."
Xue Jing: "..."
He didn't know what she'd discovered... or rather, what she considered Ban to be.
Without letting him ponder too much, Wu Youqing continued her narrative.
"Just as Earth Star is merely one of the planets in the universe, all the planets are encompassed within the universe... and if you expand the view, treating each universe as a planet, there must be a 'Great Universe' that encompasses all universes."
"And this 'Great Universe' also has its most basic constituent units," said Wu Youqing.
"I tentatively call it—'Great Strings'."
Xue Jing muttered, "Great Strings..."
"What exactly Great Strings are, what their function is, I do not know,"
Wu Youqing shook her head.
"All I know is that my Blessed Heretic God was once an entity that entered the 'Great Strings', but was eventually expelled from them."
"Its divine name, if translated into Chinese, is 'Crimson Mist'."
...
After coming out from the library, Xue Jing was still a bit dazed.
He had heard too many things he shouldn't have as a "small potato."
Cosmic Strings, Superstring Entities, Great Strings...
It felt like a frog being forcibly pulled out of a well to see the real world.
But fortunately, as Wu Youqing had said, since God's death till now, no Superstring Entities had been able to enter the present world.
Humans, for now and for a long time to come, wouldn't need to consider how to confront these real gods.
"First, take care of everything at hand."
Xue Jing snapped back to reality and left the school.
He had chatted with Wu Youqing for a long time, and now it was already past six in the evening, and it had grown dark.
He flagged down a taxi and headed home.
On the road, Xue Jing sat in the car, his gaze contemplative.
Wu Youqing was a Divine Chosen.
And all the Divine Chosen would, at some point in the future, experience the 'Phenomenon of Divine Disappearance' and vanish without a trace.
Was Wu Youqing's care for him intended to use him to solve the 'Phenomenon of Divine Disappearance'? Find more adventures on m-v|-NovelBin.net
Xue Jing touched his chin, "If 'Divine Disappearance' is related to divinity, I might actually be able to solve it..."
However, the wealthy tycoon boss hadn't mentioned it, so he didn't ask.
Lost in thought, after driving for more than half an hour, Xue Jing got off at the street entrance of his neighborhood and walked back to his home.
Xue Jing took out his keys, opened the front door, and was immediately hugged by a figure who had been waiting at the door.
"My boy~!"
"Long time no see, you've grown taller again!"
Xue's mother, Nan Jiayu, beamed with joy, holding her son, whom she hadn't seen for nearly half a year, and continually rubbed his head.
"Mom, you're back... let me change my shoes first."
With his head stuffed into his mother's embrace, Xue Jing's voice was a bit muffled and groggy.
Upon hearing this, Nan Jiayu finally let him go.
Xue Jing escaped from his mother's grand embrace, changed into indoor shoes, and looked at his mother.
Dressed in a rather mature burgundy office lady outfit, with light makeup on her face, she seemed to have just returned.
The mother of Xue Jing and Xue Wan, with excellent genetics, Nan Jiayu was quite beautiful. Her long, shiny black hair had not a single white strand, and she did not at all look like a mother with two grown children. And although her demeanor was quite mature, she seemed to be only about thirty years old, a very well-maintained, mature beautiful woman.
Xue Jing smiled and hugged her, asking,
"Where's dad? Why don't I see him?"
As Nan Jiayu touched Xue Jing's face and hair, observing his growth changes, she laughed and said,
"Your dad still has some work unfinished and will only come back tomorrow. I was eager to see you and Wanwan, so I came back first."
"Eh, just like my son, getting handsomer and taller... but it's best to stay this height now, don't grow any taller, otherwise, it will put pressure on my future daughter-in-law..."
Saying this, she began to feel Xue Jing's body.
"Wow, these muscles..."
Xue Jing quickly held her hand, saying,
"Mom, you work so hard, let me cook tonight to treat you!"
The quirky personality of Xue Wan was mostly inherited from her mother, Nan Jiayu.
Xue Jing knew this very well.
His mother still saw him as a child who hadn't grown up, allowing her to continue this way might lead to some kind of developmental examination.
Better not, though it probably wouldn't go to that extreme, Xue Jing felt it necessary to be cautious.
Nan Jiayu paused, then grinned,
"Oh? Suddenly you can cook? You wouldn't happen to have gotten yourself a girlfriend, would you?"
