Chapter 684: Quantum Mirror Universe Structure

The plan had indeed changed.

Originally, Xu Zhi believed that these bottles would not develop consciousness. Although they were brains, the entire world within them was a fantastical spiritual universe, a mere fleeting dream to them. However, if the dream's owner developed consciousness, it would become the so-called Heavenly Dao. Perhaps, it would also be the future Three Pillar Gods.

Xu Zhi didn't inherently oppose the emergence of a Heavenly Dao similar to the Three Pillar Gods. However, it was definitely not meant to appear in the early stages, as it would severely hinder the accumulation and development of nascent primitive civilizations, restricting their freedom and infinite potential. Even if it did emerge, it should be in a later era of civilization, whether the bottle itself developed consciousness for some reason, or through the worship of living beings... or if someone within a world saw through the illusion, chose to align with the Dao, and took the bottle's place. These were Xu Zhi's two hypotheses.

"But now, the core bottle has been forcibly endowed with consciousness." Xu Zhi's expression turned strange as he looked at the Gorgon Medusa in the glass bottle in his study. "But can you really do it? Transform the bottle's original form, evolve it, and make it part of yourself?"

Xu Zhi mused. What would that be equivalent to? It would be like completely transforming into a new species! Just as Xu Zhi himself had taken the system chip species back then, continuously re-cultivating it, eventually transforming it into the Demonic Core lineage. After countless iterations of evolution, combined with numerous modifications in the ancient Lava Lands, even Caroline could barely discern the Demonic Core's original form as the system chip. She merely thought it was a similar, yet extremely primitive, form of creation.

"Just as I personally transformed the system chip into the Demonic Core back then, what new existence will this Demonic Core bottle evolve into now?" Xu Zhi was very much looking forward to it. If its original form transformed, would even the Alchemy Emperor fail to recognize it as his creation? What kind of new species would emerge?

"Everyone becomes Emperor Qi, learning, improving, and innovating." Xu Zhi sipped his spirit tea, sitting in a chair in his laboratory, continuously observing Medusa in the glass enclosure. He stood up, went to the living room to pour tea, then ate a meal, and returned to sit in the laboratory within his study, as it was his usual activity area.

Time continued to advance. Soon, Xu Zhi saw Medusa, who had already integrated the bottle into her unspeakable body. It gradually emitted a strange, tyrannical aura of an evil god, making it impossible to look directly at.

"It has finally barely succeeded." Medusa, curled up in the glass bottle, took a deep breath and gently stroked the bottle's wall with her hand. "Indeed, I guessed correctly. This is what the Creator wanted me to do. Soulless flesh – this has bestowed upon me a terrifying innate origin artifact, allowing me to create worlds?"

"Wait, what is this?" She reached out and tapped. Suddenly, a light blue control interface appeared before her. This indicated that she had completely taken control of the world-bottle. With a gentle sweep, lying in the bottle, she extended her slender, pale fingers, slowly manipulating the data panel.

"Running programs? Gravity? Attraction? Particle structure? Molecular structure?.... Is this like the so-called system-assisted cultivation tool from the Martial God Palace?" She had seen such portable systems before. However, such cultivation-assisting 'cheat codes' were long useless to an existence like her.

"This is too interesting! Absolutely fascinating!" Medusa was overjoyed, her heart pounding. "The circuit patterns on it, do they represent the world's texture, the rules of the Great Dao? Is this for setting the parameters of the entire spiritual soul world? Can I manipulate it at will?" She immediately became extremely enthusiastic and exhilarated. She knew well enough. The potential for manipulation was immense, almost limitless!

"Next, I will modify the shape of this newly organized world to perfectly align and integrate with my evil god body, tailoring it even more precisely to me! I have two tasks: first, evolve my evil god body; second, integrate this world into my body... In reality, these are one and the same task! Improving my body!" Her eyes burned with excitement; she was immensely pleased, continuously using this terrifying speed of creation to transform her body.

Days continued to advance, as if in a primordial chaos, oblivious to the passage of time. Another full day passed, and the entire bottle had been completely transformed into a part of her body, forming a complete evil god entity, although this final evil god tissue of the body was not perfectly integrated with her own flesh and blood. The entire glass bottle also became unspeakable.

"It's a success!" she murmured. The bottle remained a bottle, its shape unchanged—a transparent glass bottle. Yet, it now gave a completely different sensation; merely looking at it evoked a sharp feeling, as if it could pierce the skin.

"This is my main core." She continued to curl up in the glass bottle, like a cute figurine in a glass wish bottle, still continuously touching the glass wall with her slender hand. "However, I will not create new world civilizations here. This spiritual space is my cultivation ground. I will create civilizations in the subsidiary worlds instead." Her eyes flashed, and only then did her consciousness begin to enter the spiritual universe. It was still that dimensional courtyard where countless creatures evolved.

"I'll make some modifications. This place isn't worthy of being identical to the Primordial Land of the Great Dao." With a gentle wave of her hand, she changed the parameters of this land. In a blink, the entire courtyard gradually faded, and the surrounding scenery rapidly transformed into the ocean most familiar to her, with the Gorgon Alchemy Island, once sealed, at its center. A wave of energy. Various building complexes appeared on the island.

"I could continue to expand it, but there's no need." Her gaze swept across the scene. Her nature was pragmatic and direct; she disliked flashy things. "Next, I'm going to check the other two externally connected spiritual universes."

It really succeeded...!? Xu Zhi was slightly surprised, looking at Medusa. She had truly accomplished this. In Xu Zhi's eyes, this was incredible: to transform a bottle into a part of a Cthulhu evil god's body. Undeniably, Medusa's current abilities were immense. Diligence could compensate for shortcomings; her continuous intellectual development and research post-birth had made her increasingly powerful.

"She really did it. Her bold idea succeeded. In that case, I have an even bolder idea that might also be achievable." Xu Zhi revealed his contemplation. "A true multiverse worldview, a crystal wall system universe, infinite civilizations, infinite futures—perhaps this is the real cosmic framework."

Xu Zhi had a truly audacious, earth-shattering idea: The theory of parallel universes.

"Yes, since these were already high-dimensional and low-dimensional worlds, and sufficient simulations have been conducted, then let's try to fully simulate the entire real cosmic model. Medusa has completely fleshed out her vision; now it's my turn... Actually, Medusa is undeniably formidable, but she is ultimately limited by her own knowledge, vision, and world... She cannot perceive the immense and terrifying potential her world-bottle possesses when combined with her Cthulhu evil god abilities! Because she is unaware of the Lava Lands' worldline hypothesis."

Xu Zhi's eyes flashed, and he directly entered the two externally connected bottles placed on the bookshelf, intending to discuss the general theory of a new universe with Medusa. "I want to discuss the structure of a quantum mirror multiverse with her!"
