Chapter 395: Comparable to the Sky Collapsing
So he stepped forward, preparing to point out the location of the Styx Galaxy to Ye Cang.
"Connect with me, and I will tell you the location of the Styx Galaxy."
"Honestly, what is there to be surprised about regarding a cosmic galaxy map? Don't tell me Earth didn't have a cosmic galaxy map before."
But Ye Cang did not choose to connect with Kaisha; instead, he posed a question.
"Kaisha, are you certain that the galaxy map in your hand is the galaxy map of the Universe?"
Kaisha was very certain.
"I am certain, definite, and positive; this is the galaxy map of the Known Universe. I naturally don't have the unknown parts."
Kaisha's look of such certainty made even Ye Cang begin to doubt himself.
Could it be that he was the one who was wrong, and Kaisha was the one who was correct?
Carrying his doubts, Ye Cang opened Zhizi and checked the current data through it.
This check was significant; Ye Cang's eyes immediately turned into two large question marks.
It was correct.
The Universe is 95 billion light-years.
Not 500 million light-years.
The cosmic galaxy map Kaisha gave him was actually the galaxy map of the Laniakea Supercluster.
And beyond the Laniakea Supercluster, there was still the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall.
This thing even reached 10 billion light-years.
Could it be... that all of humanity's detections were wrong? That everything detected was a fabricated illusion?
But then who fabricated the illusion?
A civilization higher than humanity?
But that wouldn't be right either; Angels do not interfere with the progress of human civilization, and before this, Demons didn't even know about this remote corner called Earth.
Karl knew, but he spent his days talking about nothing but the Void.
He himself had even become the Void.
Since that is the case, there is only one possibility... Kaisha is the one who is wrong.
After some thought, Ye Cang decided to ask Kaisha properly.
"Kaisha, do you know how big the entire Universe is, specifically?"
"I mean the entire Universe, including the unknown Universe."
Kaisha answered immediately without the slightest hesitation: "That? I certainly know; isn't it 95 billion light-years? What's wrong?"
"Don't tell me you don't know! Even civilizations in the Nuclear Pre-era know this kind of thing."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Cang's brain buzzed.
A 95 billion light-year Universe, yet 94.5 billion light-years of it were defined as the unknown Universe.
There was another point; he had always assumed the unknown Universe they spoke of referred to things outside this Universe, such as the multiverse.
Who would have thought their unknown Universe was so simple—that places they truly didn't know were just "unknown."
Only 500 million light-years, which is the Laniakea Supercluster, was the Known Universe.
This was truly no different from the sky collapsing.
One had to know, he had previously acted like an idiot and talked to Morgana about the Dark Forest Law.
Well, that's just great.
The Dark Forest Law had never disappeared at all.
Letting out a long sigh, Ye Cang looked at the ceiling with dull eyes.
He needed some quiet time now.
But this scene held a different meaning in Kaisha's eyes.
She thought Ye Cang was unhappy because of what she had said.
"Um, Ye Cang." Kaisha poked Ye Cang cautiously.
"I didn't mean what I said just now, it's just..."
Ye Cang raised his hand to interrupt her.
"My current state has nothing to do with what you said earlier; I just purely want some quiet."
"Let me calm down for 10 minutes, and then we can talk about other things, okay?"
"Oh~" Kaisha agreed and sat back down on the chair.
10 minutes later.
Ye Cang had calmed down enough.
So he asked Kaisha.
"Kaisha, tell me, why is the Universe beyond the Laniakea Supercluster defined as the unknown Universe?"
"Why not continue to explore further outward?"
Seeing Ye Cang return to normal, Kaisha also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied: "Because there is no meaning to it."
"Why is there no meaning?" Ye Cang looked at Kaisha.
Facing Ye Cang's gaze, Kaisha explained generously.
"Because the remaining 94.5 billion light-years are mostly cosmic voids and Black Holes; the probability of life being born is pitifully small. Crossing all those voids and Black Holes to search for life that almost doesn't exist—what meaning is there in that?"
Hearing this made Ye Cang's blood pressure rise.
How could she dare to say that! That the remaining 94.5 billion light-years of the Universe are all voids and Black Holes!
And she said it so surely, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Kaisha seemed to understand what Ye Cang was thinking and immediately said, "Hey, I know what you want to say."
"Let me tell you first that this is not a judgment I made out of thin air, but something I dared to say only after receiving certain information and conducting our experiments."
"Listen to me as I explain it to you slowly."
Subsequently, Kaisha recounted everything regarding the Universe.
The matter was roughly like this.
Over ten thousand years ago, the Super Seminary came to the Meiluo Heavenly Court to cooperate with the Angels and discuss many issues, among which was the issue of the Universe.
At that time, the entire Laniakea Supercluster was already under the Justice Protection of the Angels, and the Angels were already preparing to explore outward.
However, Taikong brought a piece of news, which was that the matter of exploring outward was completely meaningless.
Because beyond the Laniakea Supercluster, there were only massive cosmic voids and Black Holes, and the probability of life being born was extremely small.
Back then, when Taikong came here himself, he had also used all his might just to manage to arrive here.
Given that Taikong was a god who had traveled the Universe, Kaisha only believed a portion of his words.
She was still preparing to explore outward; after all, seeing is believing.
As time passed, the Super Seminary had a falling out with the Angels, the Super Seminary left, and Kaisha initiated the exploration beyond the Laniakea Supercluster.
This exploration mission lasted for a full 2,000 years.
During these 2,000 years, over a thousand Angels exhausted various means to begin exploring.
In the end, only over a hundred Angels returned to the Meiluo Heavenly Court.
And these over a thousand Angels had only explored about 1,000 light-years outward.
According to their descriptions, of these 1,000 light-years, at least 800 light-years were voids and Black Holes, and in the remaining 200 light-years, there were only a few sparse civilizations.
Furthermore, in even more distant places, there were even larger voids and Black Holes.
Of course, the latter part was something they detected using instruments, not something they had seen with their own eyes.
Thus, Kaisha believed Taikong's words.
She stopped the exploration and defined the Universe beyond the Laniakea Supercluster as the Unknown Universe.
Having understood the cause and effect.
Ye Cang did not say anything more.
But in his heart, he grew suspicious of Taikong, very suspicious.
This old guy was ten out of ten not right.
However, Ye Cang did not dwell too much on this issue.
Because he already had a plan in his heart.
