Chapter 2035 The Simulation System of Life Across Myriad Realms; The "Rules" Themselves Are Performing "Self-Checks"
The Infinity Stones can accelerate this process, but they cannot replace the world itself in completing the most crucial "transformation".
In addition, although the world has undergone tremendous changes due to the integration of the Infinity Stones, the infinite possibilities, endless timelines, and infinite parallel branches are themselves expanding and deepening.
However, the impact of this expansion mainly resonates in higher dimensions.
For ordinary civilizations and beings living within a specific "surface universe" or a particular "main timeline," they are almost unable to directly perceive such earth-shattering changes.
The starry sky remains as brilliant as ever, the laws of physics continue to operate steadily, and time continues to flow uniformly. The sun rises as usual, planets move along their fixed orbits, and the behavior of microscopic particles conforms to known laws.
Scientists have observed no abrupt changes in the cosmological constant, and historical records have not been created or disappeared out of thin air. The future seems to continue along a predictable trajectory.
The development of civilization, the joys and sorrows of individuals, the evolution of the galaxy—everything seems no different from usual.
This is because the elevation of the world level does not change the already drawn "content"; the perception of living beings and the technology of civilizations are mostly limited to the "surface" of the world.
In addition, Bai Xuan also improved due to the integration of the Infinity Stones and the completion of the "multiverse prototype".
Every pulse of the world, every new branch of the timeline, every newly conceived bubble of a parallel world, every fine-tuning and deepening of the rules, is like an extension of his own limbs.
Although it is still far from the "multiverse" level, it has made great progress in all aspects.
The world's foundation has been greatly enhanced, and the path to the multiverse has been significantly shortened.
Bai Xuan never expected that this trip to Thor's world would yield such a huge reward.
He rarely refuses requests from group members, as they are things he can easily do, and group members would only ask him for help as a last resort.
But each time he seemed to gain something extra.
What is this? Does good deeds always bring good rewards?
Bai Xuan shook his head slightly and didn't care anymore. After all, this was always a good thing for him, wasn't it?
It's just unknown what Eternal, Infinite, and others will do after they learn of the existence of the transmigrators and [rule-level items].
The Marvel multiverse, a vast dimension beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Time is not linear, space is not continuous, and existence unfolds simultaneously in countless possible forms.
This is an ocean of concepts and rules, the ultimate canvas of reality and fantasy.
Eternity, infinity, death, annihilation. These supreme concepts that transcend a single universe, or even the collection of multiple universes, are themselves part of this endless dimension, or rather, a manifestation of some aspect of it.
They have no "form" or "dwelling place" as commonly understood; their will is pervasive, and their perception is boundless.
In Thor's universe, after that brief, almost instantaneous exchange of information with Bai Xuan, a completely new "unknown" was officially added to their nearly infinite list of observations.
"A 'seed' from outside the realm of rule-based items."
Indescribable thoughts flow at the conceptual level, not through language, but through direct information exchange and rule disturbances.
This idea belongs to eternity, to infinity, and to all existence within this joint observation system.
In the past, they may have occasionally noticed discordant "information" in parts of the universe, abrupt "forks" in certain timelines, and "powers" that should not exist in certain individuals.
However, those were so obscure that they were regarded as tiny "bugs" naturally arising from the universe, insignificant ripples in the ocean of possibilities, and never attracted real attention.
However, the information provided by Bai Xuan revealed the special nature of these existences.
Their world is inhabited by a large number of beings from outside the world, who bring with them [rule-level items] of equal or higher quality.
This truly piqued the "interest" of those beings who hold the fundamental laws of the Marvel multiverse.
Thus, an unprecedented "investigation" began.
Their "gaze" seeps into the almost infinite Marvel parallel universe, flowing along the main trunk and branches of every timeline.
On a higher dimension, we observe the "information flow" and "rules" that constitute every universe and every timeline.
They are looking for discord.
Those "characters" who shouldn't have appeared at relevant points in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's timeline; those abilities that are completely different from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's technology, magic, and other systems.
Those are "object information" whose composition is completely different from any known creation in the Marvel Universe.
These "discordant places" are the markers of potential "transmigrators" and [rule-level items].
The observations were conducted silently.
The birth and death of countless universes, the joys and sorrows of billions of lives, are like a fast-forwarded silent film, or like flowing data, from their perspective.
The vast majority of the universe is calm and uneventful, conforming to established rules and a distribution of possibilities.
But there are always some "highlights" or "spots," like pebbles of different colors in a clear stream, that are marked by that extremely refined perception.
They did not rush to intervene, but simply observed.
To "segment" a suspected target's cosmic timeline from the main trunk into an independent, closed "observation sandbox" is like scientists placing a suspicious sample into an isolated petri dish.
In this "sandbox," time can be accelerated, reversed, or cycled; space can be folded, distorted, or copied—all to more clearly observe the behavior of the "unknown" entity and analyze the essence of the [rule-level items] it carries.
In this almost endless observation, within a marked "sandbox," in a universe designated Earth-2015Z, the timeline is frozen shortly after Tony Stark announced that he was Iron Man.
In a lively bar in Manhattan, New York.
A young Asian man with black hair and black eyes, dressed in casual clothes that seemed out of place with his surroundings, sat at the bar, his face bearing a deliberately feigned air of mystery and superiority.
He chatted fluently with a middle-aged man next to him who was slightly impatient with his advances but stayed out of politeness.
"So, buddy, don't be fooled by Stark's current success; his iron armor has a lot of problems."
The young man swirled the wine glass in his hand, the ice cubes hitting the glass with a crisp sound.
"Putting everything else aside, how could a human body withstand the Arc Reactor?"
"He needs new energy to address his physical problems."
The middle-aged man opposite him, who was also a columnist for a newspaper, raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing:
"Oh? You sound like you know a lot about engineering and materials science? May I ask which university you attend? Or were you sent by one of our competitors?"
His tone was clearly skeptical.
The young man didn't seem to care, instead giving a mysterious smile and pointing to his head:
"School? No, no, no, my knowledge comes from a wider world."
“I not only know the weaknesses of Stark's armor, but I also know about S.H.I.E.L.D., that Captain America hasn't been exposed yet, and that Thor, Loki, and Odin are real.”
"Knowing what the accidental gamma-ray radiation will create, even knowing that in the future a purple sweet potato spirit will snap his fingers and wipe out half of all life in the universe!"
The columnist's expression shifted from skepticism to pity for a madman. He shook his head, ready to end this tedious conversation.
"Listen, kid, watching too many science fiction movies won't do you any good. Stark Industries' legal team is not to be trifled with."
"I have something to attend to, please excuse me."
Watching the columnist get up and leave, the young man wasn't annoyed; he just chuckled and muttered to himself:
"You frog in a well. When the Chitauri arrive, when Loki appears with his scepter, you'll know who the real prophet is."
He leaned back comfortably in his chair, his consciousness sinking into his mind, where there was a faintly glowing interface that only he could see:
[Multiverse Life Simulation System loading]
[Current World: Marvel Cinematic Universe (Main Timeline Variant Earth-2015Z)]
[Host: Lin Feng]
[New Player Mission: Successfully predict a major future event in front of at least three important local characters (0/3)]
[Mission Reward: 100 simulation points, one random draw for an E-grade skill or item.]
[Current mission progress: 1/3 (Successfully predicted "Tony Stark's physical defect" to "Tech Columnist - Hammer", the latter's confidence level is low, not counted as valid progress)]
[Warning: Host, please be mindful of your words and actions. Excessive disclosure of "plot" may trigger the world's correction mechanism or attract the attention of unknown entities.]
Lin Feng, or rather, the transmigrator Lin Feng, curled his lip, ignoring the system's warning.
World correction? Unknown existence? Are you kidding me? This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
In the early stages, it was all "mortals" fighting. The big shots like the Ancient One and Odin either didn't intervene or had their own plans. Who had time to pay attention to this little shrimp?
Once he accumulates enough simulation points, he can exchange them for powerful abilities or items, allowing him to thrive in this world and even replace those superheroes, becoming a new legend.
He was smugly thinking, planning who to choose for his next "prophecy".
Should we go find Peter Parker before he became Spider-Man? Or should we stake out the entrance to Kamar-Taj? Or perhaps try to get close to S.H.I.E.L.D.?
He was completely unaware that right above him—no, outside his universe and timeline—there existed a higher dimension beyond the reach of distance.
Several "gazes" beyond mortal comprehension have observed him and the faintly glowing [Multiverse Life Simulation System] in his mind countless times.
"Discovered 'external information carrier' (transmigrator individual: Lin Feng)."
“A ‘rule-level item’ has been discovered. Its energy reaction is weak, and its rule concealment is high. It is suspected to possess a cross-world-level information disguise and causal disruption module.”
"Threat level unknown, accelerate the observation of this quarantine timeline."
"The notification 'annihilation' indicates that the energy properties of this sample are biased towards 'creation' and 'simulation,' which may provide supplementary research value for its concept of 'nothingness.'"
“Notification of ‘death’: The individual’s final soul destination is abnormal and there is a rejection reaction with the world’s rules of death. This needs to be recorded.”
Information was exchanged at the conceptual level without any emotional fluctuation.
They record, they observe, they analyze.
Like a biologist observing a newly discovered single-celled organism under a microscope.
The only difference is that biologists still have human emotions and purposes: curiosity, a desire to explore, a thirst for knowledge, or utilitarian research and development goals.
The "being" currently executing the commands of observation, analysis, marking, and isolation is in a completely different state from the majestic figures occasionally revealed to mortals in countless Marvel universes, bearing the names of "eternity," "infinity," "death," and "annihilation."
Within those universes, in those specific stories, events, and moments of interaction with mortals or deities, the supreme beings such as eternity, infinity, death, and annihilation often manifest "personalized" aspects corresponding to their "character" and "desire."
Eternity appears majestic and ancient, like the embodiment of time, carrying an understanding of endless cycles and a touch of compassion.
The infinite appears vast and indifferent, an extension of space itself, watching the expansion and contraction of the universe with detachment.
Death manifests as a mysterious and alluring woman in a black robe, who harbors complex emotions toward life and even shows "interest" in beings like Thanos.
Annihilation manifests as pure nothingness and silence, a whisper that is the opposite of existence.
In that state, they possess "will," "character," and even "desire"; although these "desires" may be so grand and abstract as to be incomprehensible to mortals.
But at this moment, when they unite and conduct this research in a manner almost like the "underlying rule management program" of the Marvel multiverse, they present an even more "inhuman" form.
It has no physical form, no sound, no emotions, no preferences, and is even difficult to describe as "thought".
It's more like the "rules" themselves are conducting a "self-check".
Their "intentions" are like the absolutely objective laws of the universe.
Every "judgment" is based on an exhaustive search and deduction of infinite data and possibilities; every "instruction" is as inevitable and unambiguous as a physical law.
There was no curiosity, no greed, no surprise, and no kindness.
Only pure reason.
At this moment, they have shed all the "personalized" cloaks worn for the sake of convenient interaction, and the "character" colors given to them in the story, getting closer to the cold and grand "supreme god" essence of the Marvel multiverse.
It is the most fundamental "principle" and "law" that constitute this endless world, and it is the manager that maintains the "existence" and "operation" of this vast system.
More "sandboxes" are being built, and more "samples" are being put into use.
Some "samples" quickly vanish, and the [rule-level items] they carried also dissipate.
Some "samples" showed unexpected "adaptability" in terms of acceleration time and variables, and were marked as key observations.
In a very small number, the [rule-level items] are extremely powerful, and some even directly detected their observations, immediately taking their hosts away from this world.
