Chapter 334

"Cosmology? Is this cosmology? No, I have to go back and take a look!"

Takumi recovered from his surprise, quickly opened the 'World Gate,' crossed it, and arrived in the outer space of the 'Teyvat Universe.' He closed his eyes and carefully felt every piece of information in the entire 'Teyvat Universe.'

'Rules,' 'Concept,' 'Truth,' 'Energy,' 'Structure,' 'Dimension,' 'Matter'—even the movement trajectory of every atom in the Teyvat universe could be felt in great detail. The Teyvat universe was currently undergoing a change in the "underlying logic" of the universe.

This change was the simultaneous intersection of the 'material world' and the 'mystical world,' causing the most fundamental chemical changes between the two originally incompatible surfaces.

Takumi suddenly opened his eyes, ecstatic. "Cosmology! It really is cosmology! It turns out that when the mystical level and the material level reach a certain threshold, a qualitative change in the underlying logic occurs. This qualitative change is the birth of 'cosmology.' This process is truly amazing."

'Cosmology' is born with the growth of the universe, in a state where the two levels of 'mystery' and 'matter' coexist in contradiction and harmony. This is closely related to the universe, people, gods, rules—everything.

If the 'cosmology' were to materialize, it would become something called a 'simulated star creation diagram.' This is also referred to as 'God's blueprint for creating the universe,' containing everything within the universe: 'Concept,' 'Rule,' 'Root.' At the same time, it is the core authority held by a 'god system' that has reached the scale of a single universe.

If such a thing is used in a universe that is less than the "single universe level," its immense concept and mass could destroy the universe at the moment of activation.

Takumi's eyes flickered. "There is actually more than one cosmology being born; there are more than a dozen, and they are still being nurtured." The 'cosmologies' being born within the 'Teyvat Universe' were still in a seed state and had not yet taken form. If they were to take form, the Teyvat universe would have to reach the level of a single universe.

However, even at the 'single universe level,' it would be difficult for so many 'cosmologies' to manifest into 'simulated star creation diagrams.' After all, a universe only has enough energy to manifest one in the end.

But this was not a problem. If a "single universe" wasn't enough, then a "super-unit" or a "pseudo-pluralism" would suffice. Resources are abundant in the world.

Takumi withdrew his gaze from observing the 'underlying logic of the Teyvat universe.'

"No need to rush. The concept of cosmology has just been born, and it's still far from taking shape."

Thinking of this, Takumi couldn't help but touch his chin, his eyes darkening.

"I must say, my idea was really correct. Originally, it was just to enrich the 'myth system' of the Teyvat universe to facilitate exploration of the dimensional worlds. After all, annexing the gods in familiar mythological stories was relatively easy.

"Unexpectedly, I accidentally discovered the secret to the birth of 'cosmology.' This way, the foundation of the Teyvat universe has been elevated to a higher level."

At the same time, Takumi also realized that not every 'universe' had a 'cosmology.' There were five very stringent conditions that had to be met:

First: The universe must have a complete 'myth system.'

Second: The universe must have two or more 'truths.'

Third: The universe must be a place where the 'mystical world' and the 'material world' coexist.

Fourth: The conceptual quantity of the universe must exceed a certain critical point.

Fifth: The universe must have the potential to fully conceive a 'cosmology,' which means that the universe's growth potential must be at the supercell level.

Returning to the DXD world, Takumi had been gone for less than two seconds. In Ophis's eyes, Takumi had merely opened a door, stepped through, and then returned.

Ophis took a sip of her milk tea. She had no interest in food, but this cup of milk tea had been given to her by Takumi. Since her own 'truth' had become part of the 'truth' mastered by Takumi, she felt a deep dependence on him.

She already regarded Takumi as a kindred spirit who was far more powerful than herself.

"Do you want me to help?" Ophis asked after finishing her milk tea in one gulp.

As the "Infinite Dragon God" of this world, she could sense the changes occurring in the world, though she wasn't interested in them. However, she could tell that Takumi was very invested in these changes and was acquiring "world authority." Currently, most of the "world authority" had been taken.

During the 'dimension gap,' her own 'world authority' was also exchanged for a stronger 'truth.'

Takumi waved his hand with a hint of amusement. "No need, Ophis. I've already seen the final outcome. There won't be any war in this world; everyone will voluntarily give up their power."

After annexing the 'truth' of Ophis, along with the authority of three gods and four worlds, 60% of this world's authority had been seized. Takumi could see all the scenes of the future clearly before his eyes.

At the same time, after claiming most of the authority, the 'Teyvat Universe' projected its influence further, beginning to grant the 'Vision' to those conquered worlds.

A vision of the future came to Takumi's mind.

As more worlds were conquered, it was like a snowball growing larger and larger. Each time a pantheon was conquered, the main gods formed groups to lobby others. Imagine more than ten or twenty main gods arriving as a group. When other pantheons saw such a force, they would surrender even before the battle began.

The choice was simple: surrender and reap the benefits or face certain destruction.

After conquering Olympus, the main gods and the four original gods of Olympus rushed towards the Pure Land of Paradise with great momentum. Ishtar, who was suppressing the Pure Land at this time, was stunned by what she saw.

When had she ever witnessed such a scene? In her battles alongside Fanes against the March Goddess and the Nibelungen, cunning and strategy were commonplace, but it was still life and death.

Was war between worlds really this easy?

But as someone who understood the way of the world, she quickly figured it out. In the end, all she could say was, "As expected of the master."

Meanwhile, Buddha, who had been relatively calm in the Pure Land of Paradise, dropped his rosary beads due to trembling hands. Shortly after, more than a dozen main gods descended upon the 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.'

Then the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats all prepared themselves. "If I am not to suffer, who will?"

The Buddhas attained enlightenment on the spot, in front of more than a dozen gods, willingly submitting to them.

In the end, the Buddhas joined the group with compassionate faces, marching aggressively towards the 'Indian Divine Kingdom.' They were afraid they'd be left behind.
