The entire universe is held in the Lord's palm. From the time it was a drop of water, the time that has passed in the real universe is not even a "moment".
Lord held up the universe in his palm and explained, "This single universe that I created is almost identical to the current universe, with the same supercluster layout, celestial positions, and total mass."
The only difference is that all beings with genders in this universe are completely different from those in the current universe.
All living beings with genders are not limited to Earth, but exist throughout the entire universe. On Earth, the genders of all hermaphroditic beings have been reversed, and on other planets, the genders of some polygamous beings have been scrambled…
Mai saw another version of herself in the Palm Universe, or rather, he was a womanizer even more promiscuous than Tony Stark, Iron Man.
Su Enxi also saw another version of him, in that universe he was a pot-bellied, unkempt, homebody entrepreneur who spent his days shouting about dreams, ideals, and immigrating to Mars.
The boss also saw another version of her; she was pinned to a bronze ancient temple beneath the icy sea by a long spear, her head drooping, looking extremely pathetic.
"Finally, all we need to do is extract a specific person from this universe, replace the corresponding person in the current universe, and we're all done, for example, like this..."
Lord snapped his fingers, and Mai Shude, sitting opposite him, instantly transformed into the playboy from the Waterdrop Universe, undergoing a gender transformation, but it was more than just a gender transformation.
The playboy version of Mai Shude paused slightly, then turned to look at Su Enxi, scrutinizing her from head to toe, and said, "Oh, potato chips, I only realized today that you're quite charming. Do you have time tonight? Want to...?"
"Please make sure to change Ma Yi back to normal as soon as possible!" Su Enxi's scalp tingled and her face turned pale, like a frightened duck.
After a Planck's time, Mai Shude returned to her original state, as if she had never woken up.
"This time, did they use their previous long legs to cover up that prodigal son?" Su Enxi asked, still shaken, repeatedly glancing at the now-normal Jiude Mai.
"No, this time it's not an overwrite, it's just a simple modification of everything related to the male version of Mai Shude's gender, including her memories, genes, past, present, and future, to that of the female Mai Shude."
Of course, if you mind, I will cover it again with the original linen garment.
As he spoke, Lord snapped his fingers again, covering the gender-swapped Mai Shude with the original girl, Mai Shude. However, Mai Shude herself did not feel any change.
"So, that Kazama Ruri is a female Kazama Ruri from another universe?"
"You could say that, without Gao Kui consciously using his powers, his divinity operated spontaneously, causing him to do something similar to what I just did."
Create a new universe, extract the female version of Kazama Ruri, and overlay it.
"Isn't that too much trouble? Why not just gender-swap?" Su Enxi exclaimed in surprise.
Is it troublesome?
No, for a god, doing what I just did is no different from taking a single breath. In Hindu mythology, Vishnu caused countless universes to be created and destroyed in a single breath, so a god can naturally do the same, even if he is an incomplete god.
Gao Kui did not intentionally choose to change Kazama Ruri in this way. Covering up and simply changing genders is irrelevant to God himself; what God recognizes is the true reality.
This method of changing Kazama Ruri's gender is merely one of the random choices made by God's own power among an infinite number of methods and possibilities.
Chapter 127 The Great Director's Deep-Diving Dream
"Was it the same with Chu Zihang's father last time?" Su Enxi recalled the last incident, where the unexpected appearance of Chu Tianjiao completely disrupted Lord's plans. Fortunately, the situation has been brought under control.
"That's not the case. The new Chu prodigy was created directly. His identity, background, and abilities were created entirely based on Gao Kui's understanding. He is not a parallel universe counterpart."
But in essence, the two cases are no different.
God is the Creator. Everything outside of God, both internal and external to human perception, is a created being. Regardless of the methods and processes God uses to create things, they will inevitably lead to the same result.
If God deems his creations true, then they are true. What God denies is, naturally, false.
"What about the original male version of Kazama Ruri? Did he go to another parallel world?"
"No, he disappeared, along with the parallel universe where the female version of Kazama Ruri originally existed." Lord said expressionlessly, as if he were recounting a trivial matter.
Su Enxi and Jiu Demai were slightly taken aback. After considering the context, they finally understood what had happened.
Gao Kui's divinity manifested, creating a universe where a female version of Kazama Ruri existed. He extracted the Kazama Ruri that covered this world from the female version of Kazama Ruri, and then destroyed the parallel universe where the female version of Kazama Ruri originally existed.
"I remembered a four-panel comic strip about cloning technology that I saw a long time ago."
Su Enxi grinned and recounted the story from the comic: "A patient who lost a finger in an accident went to a hospital with advanced cloning technology to have finger repair surgery."
The hospital took a drop of the patient's blood and told him they would use cloning technology to grow a cloned finger that perfectly matched his. A few days later, the patient returned to the hospital, and sure enough, they produced a finger that perfectly matched his.
The surgery was, of course, a success, and the patient, now with the cloned finger, left the hospital overjoyed. And then…
"Then the hospital pushed the clone, missing a finger, into the incinerator for medical waste," Mai Shude continued, ending the story.
She had never read the comic, but she knew that the comic Su Enxi was describing must have a similar ending.
Su Enxi shrugged, indicating that the ending described by Jiude Mai was exactly the ending of that comic.
This is utterly appalling.
To create a female version of Kazama Ruri, a single universe will be created from scratch. That universe will be identical to the current universe, with the same age of 130 billion years and a diameter of 930 billion light-years.
Just as Su Enxi, Jiu Demai, and countless other beings exist on Earth in that universe, the boundless starry sky beyond Earth must also contain countless life-bearing planets.
However, after the information about the female version of Kazama Ruri was extracted, that parallel universe, along with the male version of Kazama Ruri, was destroyed.
Who is responsible for all of this?
It was the divinity that Gao Kui unconsciously emitted when he was drunk; it was Jesus, the saintly son of Christianity, who was praised for his mercy and kindness; it was Emmanuel…
"This is God."
Regardless of the fact that thought, logic, and causality are all His creations, if we were to attribute things like thought, logic, and causality to God, then God's thought logic and the causality manifested in His actions would certainly be beyond human comprehension.
Gao Kui after his ascension to godhood was such a being. Compared to Jesus, he was closer to Jehovah, and ultimately he himself was Jehovah.
That's why I had to stop him.
Jehovah is the name of the Father, and also the name of the one true God, the one divine being in eternity.
In the Gospel of John, he said, "I and the Father are one." In the Gospel of Matthew, the singular "name" also refers to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit simultaneously, which is the Trinity.
Therefore, Gao Kui is naturally Jehovah, another and the same "the Word made flesh".
Lord clearly and logically describes Gao Kui's indifference as the only God, Jehovah. Yet, he seems to radiate a human warmth, and just a glance from him can bring a feeling of returning to a mother's embrace.
However, Mai and Su Enxi felt an increasingly strong sense of estrangement from the gentle and loving Lord in front of them.
In Hindu mythology, Vishnu causes countless universes to rise and fall with each breath. If Vishnu can do this, then eternal divinity can naturally do it as well. The divinity that Gao Kui unconsciously emanated once did this, and Lord just demonstrated it once as well.
Lord said that God is indifferent, that Gao Kui must be stopped, that the Last Judgment is wrong, and that he cannot stand idly by in the face of the Last Judgment, so he must stop him.
Very righteous, very kind, very noble.
But what does the execution of the final judgment matter compared to the birth and death of countless universes?
Lord continues to tirelessly work to prevent the Last Judgment, playing the role of savior. He is, of course, kind, merciful, and full of human brilliance.
But the more this is the case, the more Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai become concerned about the indescribable and unbelievable side of Lord's humanity.
Ultimately, it's just a game, a game of God.
"And what about this universe in your hands?" Mai Shude looked at the universe in Lord's hands.
“I will let it continue to exist. One more won’t make a difference. Why be like Gao Kui, who used it and then made it never exist?”
The hand clenched and then opened, and the universe within the palm vanished.
Lord said he did not destroy the universe or return it to a state where it never existed, but simply sent it to a place where it should be, but which is not visible to the public.
Everyone believed the Lord's words without considering whether they believed him out of genuine belief or because the Lord wanted them to believe.
That's pointless.
Lord, who had just created and then released a single universe, picked up his knife and fork again, began working on the noodles on his plate, and asked, "Has Constantine arrived in Japan yet?"
“Shude Mai arranged for him to go to Saitama Prefecture,” Su Enxi explained.
"He should be sent to Kanagawa Prefecture or Chiba Prefecture. Kazama Ruri's accident has caused some changes to the script."
Has the script changed?
Mai and Su Enxi looked at the boss. Before this, the boss had always been in charge of arranging the script. Lord had only borrowed the script that the boss had prepared for someone.
"According to the original script, Gao Kui's journey to Japan should be divided into two parts, just as the arrival of the Holy Son was also divided into two parts: the first time to bear all the sins, and the second time to judge the world."
In the original script, Gao Kui's first trip to Japan would only involve encountering the girl with sandalwood-scented hair. In the gender-swapped version of "Roman Holiday," he would lay the groundwork for his second trip to Japan.
The accident involving Kazama Ruri disrupted everything.
The Driste submersible, which will be used in the second act, is still in the Gattuso family's deep-sea submersible museum. "The owner explained, spreading his hands.
"So what does Kazama Ruri have to do with the deep-sea submersible?" the two girls asked, puzzled.
"The relationship is that both the King and Kazama Ruri can't wait any longer."
The boss continued to explain: "Ruri Kazama is more eager to break free of her shackles than ever before. Her resistance will provoke the King, causing him to launch the plan ahead of schedule."
Before the Kassel delegation or the Yamata no Orochi family use a deep-sea submersible to slay the dragon, the King may send Kazama Ruri to dive down and break the seal on Takamagahara to awaken the Yamata no Orochi.
To participate, we need to purchase the Driste, or a deep-sea submersible with a diving depth comparable to the Driste.
"Why not just buy the Trieste?" Su Enxi asked, not seeing any difficulty in the matter.
It's just a deep-sea submersible that they won't need; the Gattuso family will definitely sell it.
"Why do you think the Gattuso family bought the Trieste?"
The boss posed a thought-provoking question, adding, "They bought the Trieste precisely for Bondarev's plans; they need Bondarev as a revolutionary pioneer to pave the way for them."
The problem is that the time that Wang considers ripe does not overlap with the time we consider appropriate, or the appropriate time for the Gattuso family.
Caesar remains rebellious, Chen Motong has fallen for the Holy Son and shows no mercy to Caesar, and for Gattuso, now is not the best time to get Bondarev to launch the plan, so they will absolutely not sell that deep-sea submersible now.
Su Enxi and Jiu Demai exchanged glances, realizing the problem.
Ruri Kazama's appearance triggered a series of chain reactions, prompting the king to be eager to start the grand show ahead of schedule, but the other actors and props were not yet ready.
What should we do? Should we keep dragging things out with Japan?
This is the most irrational thing to do. The most important thing about an excellent play is that it must have a beginning, development, climax, and conclusion. Whether it is fast-paced or slow-paced, it must have a story rhythm that conforms to normal aesthetics. Otherwise, if the rhythm is chaotic, it will definitely not sell tickets.
If Kazama Ruri speeds up the pace, they can only follow her rhythm blindly, instead of stopping halfway through, which would disappoint all the actors and the audience.
“If the Gattuso family won’t sell, then we’ll buy another deep-sea submersible with a diving depth comparable to the Driste. That submersible is an old thing from the Cold War era. After so many years, there should be a deep-sea submersible with similar performance that has been developed.”
Su Enxi came up with a solution to the problem.
"Unfortunately."
The boss shook his head: "The Cold War was the era of the fastest technological development in humankind. From space to sea, from space forces to space warfare, both the Soviet Union and the United States invested a lot of manpower and resources to turn scientists' brilliant ideas into reality, until that supposedly unbreakable alliance completely collapsed."
To this day, the United States has made no progress in technology in areas such as space, deep-sea diving, and military compared to the Cold War era. The decline of its industry has rendered them unable to produce even weapons from decades ago.
