Chapter 318 - 310: Ascension to a Higher Dimension
"The method I thought of isn’t that extreme, killing myself and then resurrecting myself ten thousand years ago, waiting for the time to come, then killing myself again, and resurrecting once more. Look at this, it’s bloody insane. If something goes wrong during the resurrection process, I might disappear before the universe is even destroyed."
Hong Jun and Nezha sat in front of a barbecue stall, holding a handful of skewers.
"Until this moment, there was still no conflict between my disciples and me; we were all exploring how to survive together. Ideas poured out one after another. Tongtian was especially skilled in execution. Until..." Hong Jun devoured the meat on dozens of skewers, "until I saw a new possibility from Netherworld Venerate’s failure—dimension elevation!"
"Dimension elevation?"
"Correct, since we can’t stop the grand universe from being dimensionally reduced, let’s elevate the world we live in. Just as a two-dimensional world cannot interfere with a three-dimensional world, similarly, the universe’s dimensional reduction in a three-dimensional world cannot interfere with a four-dimensional world. The only concern is the addition of a freely moving time axis in the space coordinate system, and the changes it might bring."
"However, compared to death, such changes are like cumin in barbecue seasoning—hard to accept, but not impossible."
Hong Jun took a deep breath, and almost immediately the owner, who was flirting with the neighbor’s boss lady thirty meters away, turned back to the shop and placed a can of cumin powder in front of them, smiling apologetically.
"And to that degree, do you know, those guys thought I was crazy? They thought dimension elevation and reduction were equally dangerous, preferring to scrape by for billions, even tens of billions of years, rather than immediately facing the risk of elevating dimensions. They’ve even plotted to take me down."
Is that so?
"Why do you doubt it?"
I just feel they’re not that dumb, Nezha thought.
"Of course, they’re not dumb, they’re actually quite cunning. With their power, even if the danger of the Two-dimensional Foil befalls them, they can escape the threat by spatial folding, unless the entire universe is completely two-dimensional, leaving them nowhere to hide. Only then would they consider dimension elevation. To be precise, they’re not afraid of elevating dimensions, but afraid of doing it now."
