#472Chapter 445 Observer, the Essence of SpaceAI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Poof!
Bai Cangshu swept his right hand, and Qingyun's stiff face flew away, rolling and instantly turning into charcoal by the terrifying high temperature and flames.
Blood spurted from his neck, but the face on his chest showed no reaction.
"You know very well that doing such a thing is meaningless."
"Life and death are just two states of information; to us, there is no difference."
The Multi-faceted Star People made no movement, but a new head reappeared, and the face on this head had changed into a look Bai Cangshu had never seen before.
"This is my third attempt to communicate with life forms like you. I believe this time, you will no longer be marked by the great existence that dominates you."
Bai Cangshu realized that the Multi-faceted Star People's previous two attempts probably referred to the two times the Space had previously judged Reincarnators as targets to be purged.
In other words, contacting the Multi-faceted Star People was some kind of taboo, and furthermore, the Multi-faceted Star People could strongly interfere with Reincarnators, even making the Space's obliteration rules ineffective.
Obliteration: This is the Space's most fundamental control over Reincarnators, the fundamental dominance that allows Reincarnators to continuously perform various tasks according to the Space's will.
To date, Bai Cangshu had not heard of any abilities or items that exempted obliteration. If compared to the abilities of Reincarnators, the Space's Obliteration was probably a designated instant-death ability with extremely high priority. Because it possessed the information of all Reincarnators, the Space could, according to its rules, designate certain Reincarnators who failed their missions for instant death.
In Infinite Horror, a work also considered a progenitor of the infinite genre, after breaking through the fourth stage of the gene lock's inner demon, the Main God could no longer obliterate him.
Therefore, in the Infinite Dimensional Space, there might also be some rule that could resist Obliteration.
Moreover, what the Infinite Dimensional Space had always needed most, or rather, the foundation of all its abilities and items, lay in information.
singularity points are special information, and a Reincarnator's scarlet drop card is also a card recording all of a Reincarnator's information.
The Multi-faceted Star People's hyper-dimensional technology and the rules of the Infinite Dimensional Space, to some extent, all converged on information.
"What you call Obliteration is actually just a deletion of information, and the way I prevented those two from being Obliterated is also very simple: we just need to modify the information so that the great existence behind you can no longer identify the location of those two pieces of information, and thus cannot directly obliterate them."
"But at the same time, because modifying the information will also prevent them from being recalled, they lose their value to us."
The Multi-faceted Star People's utilization of information was astonishingly high; they were another entity, besides the goddess of the Space, that could completely read Bai Cangshu's thoughts.
Bai Cangshu greatly appreciated their communication method, which was far more efficient than the goddess's, contained no riddles, and even explained what he wanted to know without him having to ask.
Bai Cangshu didn't need to speak; he only needed to think to get answers.
His thought process was also very fast, and he immediately realized that the Multi-faceted Star People had no "malice" towards him. They needed him, and specifically, they needed him to be able to return to the Space, which is why they said he wouldn't be identified by the Space this time.
To achieve this, the nuclear bombings of Osaka and Tokyo were their way of disrupting the Space's perception.
"The emotion of 'malice' is merely a reaction produced by neural and hormonal stimulation in low-dimensional beings like humans; it is inefficient and meaningless."
"The nuclear bombing of Tokyo and Osaka will result in the deaths of a large number of humans and completely disrupt the world line, thus generating immense calculations and changes. This will cause a brief 'full load' state for the great existence behind you, so we have 38 seconds left to communicate."
Bai Cangshu clearly understood from the Multi-faceted Star People's unhurried communication style that they were fully prepared for their transaction with him.
Therefore, they weren't worried that thirty-something seconds wouldn't be enough to persuade him. Thus, Bai Cangshu decided not to dwell on the boring questions of what they wanted him to do or whether he should do it.
The initiative for such matters would always be his own.
"Can you tell me, what is the purpose of this 'great existence' you speak of behind us?"
"Or rather, why does He fear our communication with you?"
This was a question that would almost never receive an answer in other worlds.
Regarding what the Infinite Dimensional Space truly was, and how it came to be, not many Reincarnators still cared.
Perhaps it was because no answer could ever be obtained, or perhaps it was because infinite-genre works had, over the years, deeply permeated people's hearts through various channels, making Reincarnators more or less accept the concept of "infinity."
But at this moment, the Multi-faceted Star People might have a different answer.
"As a race that is becoming an observer, we are currently unable to observe the observer of another universe. Therefore, I cannot answer your question."
The Multi-faceted Star People did not directly answer Bai Cangshu's question but instead provided the concept of an observer. This was likely how the Multi-faceted Star People viewed the identity of the Infinite Dimensional Space, or rather, its status, authority, and so on.
"Last question, Multi-faceted Star People, if you can answer me, no matter what chips you offer, I will trade with you."
At this point, there were probably less than ten seconds left. Bai Cangshu looked at the human face on the Reincarnator's chest and asked a crucial question that many Reincarnators and plot characters had repeatedly asked him since he entered the Space.
"Since you believe that humans are not special, and life is not noble, then in your perception, what is the 'heart'? Does the so-called 'heart' truly possess power that transcends the material world?"
Facing this question, the Multi-faceted Star People visibly paused for a moment. Whether they were thinking or retrieving information, this question was more difficult for the Multi-faceted Star People to answer.
As Bai Cangshu asked this question, he was also simultaneously contemplating whether the things that Keli, Kageyama Shigeo, and Saitama cared about still held meaning for a race like the Multi-faceted Star People, who, due to their high evolution, had completely eliminated the human concepts of good, evil, and ethics.
For the Multi-faceted Star People, nuclear bombing two large cities, causing millions or even tens of millions of human deaths, was probably no different from a human child pouring hot water on an anthill out of curiosity.
So, did having other thoughts because of such things—because those humans, who were like ants, would easily die, easily be discarded, and even easily resurrected and easily created—have any different meaning?
Bai Cangshu was very curious. He wanted to truly see whether the strength of those individuals was due to this 'heart,' or if it was only because of their strength that they could afford to possess a so-called noble 'heart.'
Bai Cangshu felt the high temperature on his body begin to recede; the aftershocks of the nuclear explosion were about to dissipate, and his body had suffered a considerable degree of radiation and distortion.
It was a level that would quickly kill an ordinary person.
But for Bai Cangshu, it was merely a matter of spending a little time to recover.
If necessary, he could destroy his body piece by piece and then regrow it using his immortality.
"According to our current understanding, the so-called heart is merely a resonant mode triggered by quantum vacuum fluctuations in a carbon-based carrier. All discussions about free will, moral intuition, or aesthetic experience are essentially poetic misinterpretations of specific implementations of the second law of thermodynamics."
"However, the 21 grams of information in humans will undergo unknown changes due to this thing."
The Multi-faceted Star People's body began to disintegrate. He finally extended his hand, and Bai Cangshu simultaneously canceled the passive defense of Limitless. The Multi-faceted Star People's finger touched Bai Cangshu's body.
"Your soul's weight exceeds the norm; your so-called 'heart' is that weight..."
