Regarding how the parallel universe was born, scientists of course have also put forward many hypotheses and conjectures. Among them, the most widely circulated is the "observer hypothesis", which believes that it is the observer's observation behavior, which leads to the collapse of quantum states, and thus triggers the birth of parallel universes.

The simplest example is to go back to the thought experiment of "Schrödinger's Cat" just now. According to the "observer hypothesis", before the box is opened, the current universe is in a quantum state with two probability superpositions. Once the box is opened, the "observer" sees the result in the box. In an instant, the universe splits into two, and the two universes are almost exactly the same, except that in one of the universes, the cat is alive, and in the other universe, the cat is dead.

This theory of "the life and death of a cat can create a new universe" is really hard to accept, but if it were a more significant historical choice, it seems that it would be easier to understand that human civilization has been walking on the forks of history countless times. If the initial apes did not look up at the stars, if the tribes that learned to use flames to grill food for the first time were destroyed by a mountain torrent, if Qin Shihuang died by assassin's assassin in the process of unifying the six kingdoms, if Newton died of a terrible and universal infectious disease before the famous apple fell, if Nazi Germany instead of the United States first developed nuclear weapons...'If, assuming, if', the human civilization of the current universe only chose one among countless forks, but there were countless other forks, which could still lead to countless colorful and completely different universes.

To put it extremely, some "theoretical explorers" of parallel universes believe that any choice made by each person every minute and every second will cause a storm of quantum series, leading to the "division" of the entire universe and giving birth to a brand new parallel universe.

In other words, even if an ordinary person crosses his left foot first or right foot first when going out in the morning, it may trigger a series of chain reactions, leading to the birth of a new parallel universe.

Such an almost idealistic argument puts mankind in the center of the infinite universe, and it is naturally difficult for people to accept it from common sense.

However, looking at the problem from another perspective, "the universe exists because of me" seems to be an irrefutable truth.

It is very simple. When people mention the concept of "universe", they often think of vast space, shining stars, brilliant sun and soft moon, and perhaps various magnetic fields, ripples and strong forces, as well as black holes and neutron stars and nebula and all cosmic dust.

However, the reason why people think that the universe is a "bright sea of ​​stars" is because humans are "observers" who have "eyes", can observe light, receive radiation, and are proficient in various calculations, and can use the most basic mathematical formulas to infer the orbit of a planet thousands of miles away.

If there were no humans, but another intelligent life without photosensitive organs, or even completely unable to detect light waves and heat radiation to act as observers, their universe would definitely not be a "bright sea of ​​stars", but another thing that humans could not understand completely, perhaps more chaotic and more gorgeous.

If you think about it further, will the universe be richer, brighter, brilliant and exciting than what humans observe, and there are also various ripples and force fields and various celestial bodies. However, humans lack observation and calculation of their "organs", so they have been immersed in the colorful sea of ​​abundance, but are ignorant?

It's like living in the deepest part of the underground cave for life and having never seen light, the primitive tribe must not know nor need to know the meaning of color. For them, the world is a completely different form.

Finally, what if there were no humans?

Neither humans nor any intelligent creatures serve as "observers", does the universe still exist? Even if it exists, it is never observed, and it is possible that it will be eternally in the quantum superposition state. What is the significance?

Therefore, in a "meaningful universe", the "observer" must be the center of the universe. What the observer's eyes and other perception organs look like, what the universe looks like; what the observer hopes it will look like, it may become; the observer is full of hope, and the universe will be infinitely bright; the observer falls into despair, and the universe will sink forever.

... Such information, like a flood of beasts, and a vast ocean, poured into Li Yao's soul.

"what to do?"

Li Yao's face was as deep as water, as if facing a great enemy. "I don't understand what Hong Chao was saying very well. What should I do if I look a little embarrassed?"

As soon as this thought emerged deep in his soul, he felt the information that the flood of tides poured into his mind became clear and concise.

The specific theories and complex conjectures, hypotheses, theorems and formulas are not important, and Li Yao doesn't understand them anyway. In short, Li Yao only needs to understand that the "observer hypothesis" is partially valid under certain conditions. Parallel universes really exist, and its birth method is also related to "whether Schrödinger's cat is born or died."

Of course this does not mean that if such a cat exists, its life and death will really create a brand new parallel universe.

Not to mention that an ordinary person who is sleepy in the morning and yawns to work, and who will cross the foot to go out first will create a brand new parallel universe.

No, it is not that simple. The key is to conserve mass and energy, and conserve heat. Creating a new parallel universe requires a lot of energy. Simple, low-level observation behaviors such as "the life and death of a cat" and "cross the left and right feet first" are not enough to stimulate enough energy to "promote" the birth of a new parallel universe.

Only when a large number of observers stimulate the most powerful energy contained in their bodies and perform some high-level observation behavior has a certain chance of leading to the birth of a new parallel universe.

In this series of universes where the Hongchao is located, the observer is all humans.

The highest level of energy contained in the human body has a certain chance of breaking through the "law of conservation of mass and energy" or even breaking through the ultimate power of dimensions and cosmic barriers, namely emotions, will and imagination.

The parallel universe may be endless, but the emotions, will and imagination of all observers in the infinite universe are common.

Therefore, it is possible to create a brand new parallel universe by simply placing these observers in a very extreme environment and stimulating their strongest emotions and strongest imagination!

What is a "very extreme environment"?

The answer is about to come out, that is when "the end of the world, natural disasters come, and the earth is destroyed"!

I see!

Li Yao finally understood what Hong Chao was doing.

It first uses itself to control most of the multiverse sea, which can be called "quasi-god-level" power, manipulates matter and energy, creates countless earths, trapping billions of heroic spirits in it.

Immediately afterwards, these earths were destroyed one by one, and the strong stimulation of the end of the world was used to inspire the most powerful emotions, will and imagination hidden in every heroic spirit.

As long as these forces are strong enough, it is possible to trigger the "observer effect", break the current universe and give birth to a new "parallel universe".

However, creating a new parallel universe is still not the ultimate goal of Hong Chao. On the contrary, when these new parallel universes were created and were about to explode and expand, Hong Chao used some method that Li Yao could not understand to imprison and seal all these parallel universes!

The division of atoms will produce powerful energy, and the division of the universe will be even more so.

Gathering and sealing the power of atomic splitting and outputting stably and continuously is the working principle of some nuclear power plants. However, Hongchao deliberately triggered the "fission chain reaction" of the universe series, turning countless newly born parallel universes into its "energy source"!

Hong Chao did not lie.

What it really wants to use is not human emotions. Although "energy" such as will and imagination are powerful, it is still a slightest compared to the "cosmic fission chain reaction energy".

The power of human observers is nothing more than the fulcrum of "cosmic split energy" or "quantum energy".

The flood of infinite quantum energy is indeed not the residual power of Li Yao, Ding Lingdang or Yuanshi civilization. The unyielding resister in the multiverse sea can compete with it if it puts 100% of quantum energy on the battlefield.

However, Li Yao discovered that Hong Chao had no intention of using quantum energy to destroy them at all. Instead, he devoted most of the quantum energy and countless forces of parallel universe division and explosion into some mysterious place, something more strange and unexplainable than black holes.

In the words of the cultivation world, it seems to be a certain level of universe, no, it is a magic weapon at the "multiverse level" and the core of the magic weapon!

"What the hell are you doing?"

After seeing the ultimate universe picture clearly, Li Yao felt a burst of creepy and murmured, "You have created countless parallel universes and sealed them all at the moment of their birth. In this way, I have obtained countless "energy sources", countless "cosmic batteries", and countless "world engines". You, you control such a huge amount of energy, what should you use them to drive and what purpose do you achieve?"

"I'm old."

Hong Chao made an ancient and vicissitudes of voice behind Li Yao, "As you said, time has left too many scars and pains on me. Even a true god-level civilization cannot resist the erosion of time. If I are regarded as a person, I will be a gray-haired and dying old man.

"For an old man who is about to die, even if he has all the wealth and power in the world, it is meaningless, right? If, if there is a chance, he can exchange all the wealth and power for a wish, what kind of wish do you think he will make?

"That's right, one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand old people will not have a second answer. What I ask for is nothing more than eight words to go back in time and return to a child!"—
