Chapter 738: Abnormal Existence
The Balancer was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about how to answer Li Yang's question.
Finally, it slowly spoke:
"You are right, there are indeed some abnormal situations, and those are not directly caused by us."
"We just maintain the balance, but sometimes there are...other beings that interfere with that process."
[Origin] frowned and asked: "Other existences? What do you mean?"
The Equalizer shook his head: "This is not what you should know...knowing too much will bring danger."
Li Yang sneered: "Ha, in the final analysis, you are just safeguarding your own interests."
"What's unbalanced is just an excuse."
The Balancer was not angry at Li Yang's sarcasm, but responded calmly:
"You can think so, but the truth is more complicated than you think."
"Everything we do is for the stability of the entire multiverse."
[Origin] thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "So, what if we can find a way to protect the life in the universe without disturbing the natural birth and death of the universe?"
The Equalizer tilted his head slightly: "What do you think?"
[Origin] explained: "For example, when the universe is about to be destroyed, the life in it is transferred to other suitable universes."
"This will not violate the natural laws of the universe and protect the life within it."
The Balancer fell into deep thought for a long time before speaking: "Interesting proposal... but I'm afraid it won't be easy to implement."
Li Yang interjected: "It's at least worth a try, right? It's better than sitting back and doing nothing."
The Equalizer nodded: "Indeed... I will bring this idea back for discussion."
"During this period, I suggest that you do not rashly interfere with the operation of any universe."
After saying that, the figure of the Balancer disappeared into nothingness again.
Li Yang and [Origin] looked at each other and saw the complicated emotions in each other's eyes.
"What to do now?" Li Yang asked.
[Origin] sighed: "Let's go back first. It seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought."
"We need to go back to the drawing board."
The two left the collapsing [Dreamweaver] universe and returned to the observation station.
Returning to the familiar environment, Li Yang felt a wave of fatigue welling up in his heart.
He leaned on a chair and rubbed his temples: "It's a mess..."
[Origin] nodded and agreed: "Indeed... what we are facing now is not just the problem of the equalizer."
"And that mysterious [other being]...what are they?"
Li Yang pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of something: "Well... is it possible..."
"That thing is actually another existence like you?"
[Origin] was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought: "You mean... other creators?"
Li Yang nodded: "Yes, didn't you say that? You created this multiverse system."
"So, is it possible that there are other similar beings that have created their own multiverse system?"
[Original]'s expression became serious: "If this is true...then the situation may be worse than we imagined."
"The collision between different systems may lead to the collapse of the entire multiverse."
Li Yang frowned and said, "Then what should we do? We can't just sit back and wait for death, right?"
[Origin] shook his head: "Of course not. We need more information."
"We have to find a way to confirm whether this guess is correct."
Li Yang suddenly thought of something: "By the way, the Balancer said that they neither create nor destroy, they just maintain balance."
"So, could they be... buffer zones between different systems?"
[Origin]'s eyes lit up: "It makes sense! This may be why they are so obsessed with the so-called balance."
"Because only by maintaining a balance can direct conflicts between different systems be avoided."
Li Yang nodded: "So, what should we do next?"
[Origin] thought for a moment and said: "I think... our next actions can be divided into two steps."
"First, we have to try [Origin]'s proposal to see if we can transfer the life in the universe before it is destroyed."
"Second, we need to look for evidence of the existence of other creators."
Li Yang agreed: "Sounds good, so where do we start?"
[Origin] once again operated the instruments of the observatory: "Let's first find a universe that is about to be destroyed, but still has enough time for us to operate."
"At the same time, I will try to expand the scope of observations to see if I can find traces of other systems."
At this moment, the alarm at the observation station suddenly sounded.
[Origin] quickly checked the data, and his expression suddenly changed: "I feel... there is a universe that is accelerating its collapse!"
"If we don't act now, it will disappear soon."
Li Yang stood up immediately: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
[Origin] hesitated: "But the Equalizer warned us not to intervene rashly..."
Li Yang said firmly: "Then just watch."
"I still say the same thing."
"I'd rather do something wrong than do nothing."
...
[Origin] looked at Li Yang's firm eyes, and after a moment of silence, he finally nodded in agreement:
"You're right, we can't just sit there and watch... Then, let's try it."
Then, the two of them quickly locked the coordinates of the target universe.
This universe on the verge of collapse is code-named [Stardust], and it is a universe that has developed to a star-level civilization.
[Origin] once again used his ability to teleport them to the edge of the [Stardust] universe.
The scene in front of him was frightening. The entire universe seemed to be kneaded by an invisible big hand, galaxies collided in distortion, and black holes devoured everything around them crazily.
Li Yang frowned slightly and muttered to himself: "The situation looks worse than [Dreamweaver]... How could a normally developing universe fall to this point?"
[Origin] said solemnly: "We should always try..."
"I'll stabilize the core structure of this universe and try to buy more time."
"Li Yang, you try to protect more areas."
After speaking, [Origin]'s figure turned into countless light spots and merged into the structure of the entire universe.
Li Yang took a deep breath and raised his hand to release the plant.
Many [lettuces] were born and quickly spread to every corner of the universe.
Many relatively intact planets were wrapped by them, barely able to avoid the invasion of external space.
Unfortunately, the situation here is not optimistic.
Almost all planets with life have turned into cosmic dust, and there are very few surviving life forms.
Things have developed to this point, even if one or two guys survive by chance, they still cannot avoid the fact of extinction.
In an instant, Li Yang suddenly felt a strong energy fluctuation.
He turned his head and found that [Origin] was fighting against a mysterious force.
"What's going on?" Li Yang asked loudly.
The voice of [Origin] echoed throughout the universe with a unique frequency:
"Something... is accelerating the collapse of this universe! Its power... is not like the Balancer..."
