Chapter 279: Stacked Universe Theory


    We followed Temo into the new battleship and saw that the ship was filled with high-tech equipment. It was obvious that this equipment was even more advanced than the normal level of a star-level civilization.


    Temo proudly introduced, "Wee to Markus. This is a high-tech battleship. We will be heading to the super-weapon on this ship."


    "How high tech is this ship? Come on, show me something," demanded Zhang Bao''er while sitting down.


    "You''ll see. We''re already in outer space. You can already see the super weapon here," said Temo, shocking Zhang Bao''er so much he nearly fell from his seat.


    "I thought we just got on this ship? How are we in outer space already?" said Old Du in shock.


    Unknowingly, Markus had performed something as miraculous as instantaneous transportation. I followed Old Du to the window and looked outside. Finally, the majestic super-weapon was revealed before our eyes. It was a giant floating in outer space, remaining outside the and kept stable by an unknown technology.


    The super-weapon itself was the size of a star, and it was currently moving ahead while its two massive limbs hovered on the two sides of the instead of holding onto the itself. In fact, its two hands were quite far away from the, moving the with some sort of levitation field. Moving amid the universe, the superweapon''s lighting instations highlighted its massive body.


    Nobody would be able to believe that a technological wonder like this existed without seeing it with their own eyes. Moving an entire with a machine. Just how much energy was needed to power such a machine?


    "I''m curious. How is this machine moving without anything propelling it forward? This isn''t even scientific," said Zhang Bao''er.


    "What is your-level civilization''s theory on motion in space?" asked Temo.


    "That''s aplicated topic. Simply put, we recognize that eleration and gravity are among the factors causing the motion of celestial objects in space. Using the sun and the eights orbiting it as an example, the eights are kept in their orbits by the sun''s gravity. The sun itself revolves around the ck hole at the center of the Milky Way Gxy. The Milky Way Gxy itself is revolving around an evenrger mysterious center," said Old Du.


    "How do you exin the movement of the wanderings without something for them to orbit?" asked Temo.


    "Generally, wanderings have been tossed out of their original orbits by some external factors. The factors that tossed them out of their orbits gave them some form of eleration, and in the vacuum of space, the eleration will keep increasing until they are caught by a new gravitational field. Without gravity, the eleration is the only thing keeping theses moving," said Old Du.


    "That is correct. What we are seeing with this superweapon and ck King ispletely different from what we know," I said.


    "What you told me is indeed a theory belonging to a-level civilization, something like the three-dimensional theory," Temo finally started speaking about his perspective, but his words were able to easily provoke Zhang Bao''er.


    "Out with it already. Stop talking about levels of civilization all day long. If you''re so amazing, why don''t you show us how capable you are by taking a bath in a volcano of our-level civilization?" said Zhang Bao''er furiously, which was not surprising at all.


    Temo merely shot Zhang Bao''er a re before he continued, "From a four-dimensional perspective, your theory of revolution around a core object is correct. In truth, the entire universe is actually in a state of downward fall toward a deeper space. However, there is no end to that space. As a result, we can''t feel the fall."


    "The universe fall theory, yes, we do have something like that. A Gliesen researcher once mentioned that, pointing out that Blue''s theory on gravity only applies to a rtively stable environment. In the scale of the entire universe, everything is in the state of a downward fall," said Old Du.


    "In the universe, what is up, and what is down? Many of the existing conservationws indicate that there is no up and down in the universe," said Dodo, who was capable of joining the conversation now that they had recovered their memories.


    "You are right. Like I said, for a-level civilization whose understanding is limited to the three-dimensional model, there is no up or down in the universe. But in the perspective of four dimensions and above, there is up and down in the universe," said Temo, once again bragging about his superior level of civilization.


    "If that''s the case, where is up and where is down?" I asked like a curious student.


    "That is determined by the civilizations of the highest level. We have yet to encounter such a civilization, but ording to the legends of the Sacred Wing race, those civilizations are capable of arranging the universe inyers. The higher theyer, the more technologically advanced it will be. Due to the constant appearance of new advanced civilizations, the universe as a whole is in a state we call sinking civilization," exined Temo patiently.


    "Sinking civilization? What do you mean?" I asked. All of us were fully engrossed in the new things we were learning.


    "Outdatedyers will constantly sink down in the universe. Since the level of a civilization is determined by the civilization''s height in the universe, to advance in level, a civilization needs to evolve its technology and try to reach the higheryers. s, nobody I know of has achieved this feat yet. This whole theory is known by the Sacred Wing race as the stacked universe theory," said Temo.


    "Stacked universe theory. Is it simr to the Interster League''s parallel universe theory?" asked Dodo.


    "No. ording to our understanding, there is only one universe in the entire fabric of existence. In this universe, all civilizations experience the same flow of time. But different flows of time can be set within eachyer of the stacked universe, creating different temporal dimensions and allowing the civilizations within to perform time travel. However, regardless of how the universe is stacked with different temporal dimensions, time flows at the same rate for the universe as a whole," said Temo.


    "In short, ording to that theory, there is only one universe in existence, but it is stacked into differentyers depending on the levels of civilization in it. And within eachyer, different temporal dimensions can be set," I concluded.


    "Mhm. It must have been really hard for people from a-level civilization like you to finally grasp this concept," said Temo with a nod.


    "But why is your so-called star-level civilization located in the sameyer of the universe as a-level civilization like ours?" asked Dodo, still trying to poke holes in Temo''s exnation.


    "Through development, gaps will appear between different civilizations within a singleyer. However, the gap will be limited to a single level. A civilization at an even higher level will be an existence we couldn''t even begin to imagine," said Temo.


    "Hahahahaha!" Zhang Bao''er suddenly howled withughter.


    "Fatty, why are youughing like this? What are you trying to do?" asked Temo.


    "I had thought that your so-called star-level civilization is very amazing, but it turns out you''re basically on the same tier as us. This is hrious, truly hrious!" said Zhang Bao''er.


    "If we can get to a higheryer to obtain the technological advances there, we will be able to defeat the invaders," I said as I gazed out the window.


    "If you can obtain technologies like that, you can even conquer thisyer. However, the distance between theyers is not something you can imagine. We are all creations of higher-level civilizations. Just how capable can we be? Our limits have been set from the moment of our creation. With our technological progress, it is impossible for us to reach a higheryer. Also, those at the higheryer wouldn''t be able toe down either," said Temo.


    "In other words, civilizations of differentyers won''t be able toe into contact with each other?" asked Old Du.


    "Exactly. Otherwise, the order of the universe will be ruined, and the entire universe will sink into chaos," said Temo.


    "Why do you know so much about this?" asked Old Du.


    "That knowledge is the very core of the Sacred Wing race. It has been passed on since ancient times. As for the origin of the knowledge, I have no idea," replied Temo. His answer was eptable as even on Blue alone, there were numerous ancient legends that still puzzled us to this day.


    "Even after saying this much, you still haven''t exined why this superweapon is capable of such movement in space," said Zhang Bao''er.


    "See? This is why I always say that people of a-level civilization like you have slow brains. Your own theories state that eleration and gravity affect the movement of celestial objects. I have exined the eleration aspect to you. The entireyer of the universe is in a state of downward fall. Is that not consistent with your theory on eleration in space?" said Temo.


    "There is a problem with your theory. Since we''re all in the sameyer and theyer as a whole is in a state of fall, all of us won''t feel the fall, since we are all moving at the same rate. That is something even a primary school student on Blue knows," said Zhang Bao''er.


    Zhang Bao''er''s argument was reasonable. ording to our theories on inertia, when an object was in motion, everything in it would be moving at the same speed. Thus, those inside the object would not feel the movement, and the movement can only be observed through objects outside the moving object. But ording to Temo, a differentyer was so far away that it was impossible for us to observe it.


    "Fatty, like I said, it must be hard for people from a-level civilization like you to grasp this concept. Of course we can''t feel the fall, but there is something that can actually feel it," said Temo,pletely unflustered by Zhang Bao''er''s question.


    "Are you referring to dark matter?" said Dodo, finally showcasing the wise side of a-level civilization.


    "What we know as the god particle is what you know as the dark matter. It fills the majority of the universe, a button linking the differentyers of the universe together. By manipting the god particles, we can obtain the required eleration in space," said Temo, shocking us all yet again.
