The dormitory remained unchanged, still the same old one.
And within the dormitory, Fang Ming, lost in slumber,
Felt as though he had arrived in a new place once more.
This was a desolate land.
All around was darkness, the sky was black.
"This is... the Endless Multiverse?"
Fang Ming's avatar possessed a cultivation of Qi Yuan Sixth Stage, thirteen stars.
He sensed that in this fictional world he had entered, there was a setting known as the "Endless Multiverse."
Within the Endless Multiverse, there existed numerous distinct "spacetime dimensions."
Each spacetime dimension varied in style and form.
There were those with Xianxia aesthetics, those with Western fantasy aesthetics, and those with technological aesthetics... each with different rules.
According to the common understanding of worlds like the Sea of Void, such so-called Endless Multiverse could almost be equated to the Myriad Worlds, where each spacetime dimension was a world.
However, the fictional world Fang Ming was in was different. A supreme rule suppressed the interaction between different spacetime dimensions.
Specifically, under the constraints of the supreme rule that transcended the Endless Multiverse, when two spacetime dimensions intersected, it was like two circles overlapping. Only the intersecting part, the part in contact, held meaning. Beyond that, no matter how large either circle was, it was meaningless.
Perhaps this explanation was not clear.
But with a different analogy, it would be understood.
Under the restraint of the supreme rule, an Immortal Emperor from a Xuanhuan world, upon entering a technologically oriented world, would have countless powers suppressed, leaving only those powers that conformed to the rules of the technological world.
Conversely, if a dimensional weapon from a technological world were to enter a Xuanhuan Xianxia world, only the portion that conformed to the rules of the Xuanhuan Xianxia world would be effective.
The rest would be invalid.
In a magic world, one could not cultivate immortality.
In a martial arts world, one could not wield magic.
In a Xuanhuan world, technology could not be developed.
In a technological world, cultivation was impossible.
Standing above the Endless Multiverse, Fang Ming could even see an Immortal Emperor from a Xuanhuan spacetime dimension, who had left his own dimension and entered a spacetime dimension leaning towards sports.
On that planet, themed around sports, the existence of any Xuanhuan rules could not be accommodated. This caused the Immortal Emperor's primordial spirit and magic power to be reduced to zero.
Even a physical body powerful enough to annihilate countless universes was weakened to the highest level of athletic achievement for humans on Earth in that sports-themed world. He could win an Olympic gold medal, or become a special forces soldier, but he could not withstand bullets with his bare body, as the world's rules did not permit it.
The technological spacetime dimension, the sports-themed spacetime dimension, could not accommodate a physical strength that surpassed the athletic training of Earthlings.
Therefore, that Immortal Emperor, unable to return to his Xuanhuan spacetime dimension, could only play soccer on Earth and make it to the World Cup.
"In this fictional world of the Myriad Worlds genre, when comparing two spacetime dimensions, it is not the superficial display of power that matters, but the magnitude of the difference between the two."
"If the difference is large, whoever is on their home turf wins."
"If the difference is small, then there is a necessity for exchange and communication."
This fictional world of the Myriad Worlds genre.
It was different from the Myriad Worlds genre fictional world that Fang Ming's other avatars had visited.
This Myriad Worlds genre world did not have the vast organizations and powers that spanned the Myriad Worlds and coexisted with them. Instead, many worlds within the Myriad Worlds had no interaction, precisely because of this reason.
Just like the Xuanhuan spacetime dimension Fang Ming had witnessed.
Although there were no existences above the Dao Sacrifice in the fourth-layer box, there were still Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses in the third-layer box, at the twelve-star infinite-multiversal level.
And that sports spacetime dimension?
The entire spacetime dimension had the volume of only one solar system. On that entire spacetime dimension, only Earth existed with seven billion sentient beings. There was no supernatural power whatsoever; only the status of the sports industry in society was relatively elevated.
If the "circle" represented by that Xuanhuan spacetime dimension was an infinitely multiversal circle of the highest order,
Then the "circle" represented by the sports spacetime dimension was a solar system-sized, star-level circle.
When two "circles" intersected, only the intersecting part, the part in contact, was meaningful.
This meant that no matter how large the "circle" of the Xuanhuan spacetime dimension was, when it intersected with the sports spacetime dimension, the best-case scenario would only allow for the exertion of star-level power. This was because the sports spacetime dimension's "circle" was only that large, so even in the best-case scenario, it could only encompass the entire solar system volume of the sports spacetime dimension.
In reality, this best-case, idealized scenario could only be achieved in spacetime dimensions of the Xuanhuan side where the difference was so small as to be almost zero.
In the sports spacetime dimension, although there was a solar system-level "circle," within the star-level "circle," the rules that were the same as the Xuanhuan side were only those related to sports, a one-star level, not even reaching a two-star level for physical rules.
The sports spacetime dimension could only allocate a sector of its "circle," a sector representing far less than one ten-millionth of its volume, to intersect with the infinitely multiversal "circle" of the Xuanhuan spacetime dimension.
The intersection, the part in contact, was what held meaning.
This was also why the infinitely multiversal Immortal Emperor was suppressed to the level of a special forces soldier.
Conversely, if people from the sports spacetime dimension went to the Xuanhuan spacetime dimension, it resulted in technological weapons being unusable.
"Only the center of the intersection of two circles, the point of contact, can function in both different spacetime dimensions..."
"No wonder in this fictional world of the Myriad Worlds genre, there is no interaction between many worlds, at most only partial interaction between worlds with similar aesthetics."
Undoubtedly, this was caused by the supreme rule that enveloped all spacetime dimensions in this fictional world of the Myriad Worlds genre.
However, this fictional world of the Myriad Worlds genre was also included within the eighteen-star system of the Myriad Worlds Tower.
This meant that the so-called supreme rule that enveloped all spacetime dimensions also had to abide by the principle of magnitude.
The supreme rule of this fictional world of the Myriad Worlds genre was at the thirteen-star level, also at the fourth-layer box level.
Between fourth-layer boxes, many realms could be distinguished. If an avatar of Qi Yuan First Stage entered this fictional world of the Myriad Worlds genre, it would be restricted by the supreme rule just like a native.
Fang Ming's current avatar possessed Qi Yuan Sixth Stage. The gap between Qi Yuan Sixth Stage and Qi Yuan First Stage was not significant in the Divine Realm, but in this fictional world, the gap was widened to an extreme degree.
Qi Yuan First Stage, a fourth-layer box, would be restricted by the supreme rule, and could not resist successfully even with all its might.
However, Qi Yuan Sixth Stage, a fourth-layer box, although also restricted by the supreme rule, could reverse the supreme rule to a certain extent.
Fang Ming estimated that if his main body, with Qi Yuan Tenth Stage, were to personally visit this fictional world of the Myriad Worlds genre, he could freely shatter the supreme rule and free all spacetime dimensions from its constraints.
