Chapter 177: The Creator Civilization

"Hahaha, you've offended so many authors in an instant."

"If we're talking about a Level 5 civilization, they're practically gods among gods!"

"I can imagine that, but I still can't fathom just how powerful they really are."

"To the person above, it's simple. A Level 5 civilization can easily destroy a universe. I study astronomy, so I understand Teacher Jiang's line of thinking. A Level 5 civilization can use technology to take everything in this universe completely and intact, then pack this universe into another universe. Then, they could cause a massive collision between two universes in that other universe, annihilating them together. Of course, that's assuming those Level 5 beings are actually that bored..."

"To the expert above, according to what you're saying, wouldn't a Level 5 civilization involve [Dimensions]? Don't lie to me; how could a Level 5 civilization possibly pack up an entire universe?"

"That's right, it is indeed dimensions. Since we've reached this point, it's not too much of a stretch to master some [Dimension] technology, right? Also, when I mentioned [packing up a universe], that was a joke. It would take a civilization at least higher than Level 5 to [pack up an entire universe]."

"Got it. Then what about a Level 6 civilization? We're already at the multiverse level, so logically, there's nothing left, right?"

"Yeah, whether it's a single universe or a multiverse, that's the limit of what we can currently imagine, right? Even if there are words to describe what's outside the universe, there's no scientific evidence for it. At least with a Level 5 civilization, you can still find some proof in 'Quantum Mechanics', but how can a Level 6 civilization even be classified?"

Not just the audience, but the experts in the auditorium and Professor Zhuang from Tsinghua University also wore expressions of deep interest.

They could only investigate up to a Level 4 civilization.

Once it goes beyond Level 4 and reaches the multiverse, it can only be treated as a bedtime science story.

After all, these expert bigwigs knew that this was no longer a level or scope that humans could touch or understand.

"What will he do?"

"A Level 4 civilization, verified by data, conforms to current scientific data. A Level 5 civilization, the multiverse, can also find some ethereal evidence in 'Quantum Mechanics', which can also be verified. It could also be said that humans of a Level 5 civilization have fully grasped the operational phenomena of the microscopic world and applied them to reality, while our current technology is still just starting to explore the microscopic."

"Finally, Level 6 and Level 7 civilizations—where would the evidence for those come from? Or are they just fantasies, and the evidence doesn't exist?"

Director Wu looked at the phone screen thoughtfully.

He didn't think Jiang Zhe could analyze the true meaning of Level 6 or even Level 7 civilizations, because they were no longer something humans could understand, so naturally, whatever he said wouldn't be supported!

At this moment, only he and that young staff member were in the office; as for the others, they had long since gone about their own business.

While the experts were pondering, Jiang Zhe began his explanation.

"Actually, when it comes to a Level 6 civilization, there really is no corresponding real evidence to investigate."

"However!"

"We can find some clues from this set of cosmic civilization level classifications."

Speaking to this point, his expression gradually relaxed, and he asked jokingly: "Does everyone still remember the Grandfather Paradox I talked about earlier?"

This was the first episode of Jiang Zhe's decryption program: Grandfather Paradox, no one would forget it.

"What does the Grandfather Paradox have to do with a Level 6 civilization?"

"I'm racking my brains and I can't figure out what the Grandfather Paradox has to do with the classification of civilization levels."

"..."

Jiang Zhe said straightforwardly: "It's like this—"

"A Level 6 civilization, in essence, is the creator of single universes and the multiverse."

"What does that mean?"

"They can create a universe that allows intelligent life and civilizations to develop."

"Based on what everyone can understand, they are the developers and creators of those single-player games and online games."

"As for the Grandfather Paradox I mentioned, it can actually be answered in a single-player game."

He thought for a moment and continued: "For example, if I in Timeline A traveled to the future of 1980 and killed my grandfather, then in a single-player game, it would become—"

"I, today in 2024, traveled to the future of 1980 and killed my grandfather, and after killing him, this game progress was saved as a save file."

"Alright, the grandfather is killed, and the save file is saved."

"Now, let's go back to the game list, find the save file, and we can clearly see: Save File A is my normal gameplay behavior; Save File B is my gameplay behavior after killing my grandfather."

"Then what about a Level 6 civilization? They are equivalent to the developers and creators of this game; they can switch between Save File A and Save File B at will to experience different games."

As his words fell, Jiang Zhe, worried that some people still didn't understand, explained further.

"Now, we can know the capabilities of Level 6 civilization beings—"

"Not only do they possess the ability to travel through multiple dimensions, but this also includes the time dimension. Time is no longer one-way in front of them, but may present a planar radial state, which means they can make countless choices at the same time and experience countless possibilities; this is what I call: [Game]."

"In their eyes, the universe is a game, and they can experience different game progress and different game lives anytime, anywhere."

"A reminder, in essence, their physical bodies cannot reach the universe we are currently in."

"If they want to reach our current universe, they can only build a [Game Pod] and then connect the game pod to their brain data."

"After the connection is complete, they can arrive in our universe as an [Avatar]."

"When they come in, they might be like ordinary people, but they have advanced scientific technology in their heads and can easily climb the technology tree in our universe. They will reach the sequence of a Creator Civilization again in a very short time."

"Or—"

"If the game they are playing has a rule: you can use cheats."

"Then, they will implant a data setting into their [Avatar] in this universe."

"With identities like Daluo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, Saint, Heavenly Dao, or Great Dao, they will then be able to do whatever they want in our current universe."

Speaking to this point, Jiang Zhe held up a finger with a serious face:

"Through this, we can infer what their real capabilities are."

"When they leave this game, that is, after they leave our universe and return to the [Dimensional World] where they are."

"They are actually just an [Immortal] ordinary person, because in the physical world, existence that exceeds everything is not allowed."

"Of course, there is also a possibility that their world is not a [Physical Rule World], but the [Physical Rule World] is a setting they gave our universe, making us unable to violate this setting."

"Referencing this, everyone can discover—"

"I have popularized science before: the ones who create the macroscopic world and the ones who create the microscopic world are two different groups of intelligent beings."

"At that time, the [Intelligent Beings] I mentioned referred to the [Intelligence] of a Level 6 civilization."

This series of words fell, and everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized.
