Zhu Zhengwei discovered that the world was changing drastically.
"With the massive deaths of the NPCs in the village, our 'Root Dream' is being lost."
"This is no longer our dream."
"Like a tender sprout emerging from the Dream Egg, no longer restrained, it spreads its green branches, and the world starts to operate on its own."
Zhu Zhengwei felt as though he was in a world of a different dimension, blinking, "Perhaps, it can be called a high-dimensional world above mankind, or a four-dimensional space above the three-dimensional?"
Two-dimensional space is length and width, which can be simply described as a painting, even the paper figures and characters mentioned by otakus can be considered within this two-dimensional category.
While three-dimensional is length, width, and height, it is the three-dimensional world in which we humans currently reside.
What about the four-dimensional then?
In Einstein's general relativity, humans cannot observe the four-dimensional, just as two-dimensional characters in a painting cannot see us in three dimensions.
But some say the four-dimensional is an aggregate of countless three-dimensional spaces.
So perhaps it's like in front of us, an aggregate of countless three-dimensional servers?
"And according to the speculation of countless scientists."
Zhu Zhengwei's mind was wildly imaginative,
"People living in the three-dimensional world have god-like power over the two-dimensional world, and the same applies to four-dimensional beings over us three-dimensional beings... In the science fiction work 'Three-Body', there are similar descriptions of these four-dimensional beings."
And this theory, high-dimensional beings striking lower-dimensional beings, also holds true here.
Why?
Because as long as Zhu Zhengwei's power grows stronger in the future, freely opening that mysterious door, they will descend into the three-dimensional reality, appearing in the human brain, leaping at will.
They can freely traverse the brains of three-dimensional beings...
Isn't this damn well the case with four-dimensional beings??
Zhu Zhengwei thought it was quite interesting!
Does it mean I'm creating a group of gods?
I'm creating a brain quarry, am I mining the four-dimensional world?
Those, are all four-dimensional humans born in human consciousness?
"This is terrifying!"
Zhu Zhengwei's wild thoughts, he really had a vast imagination.
But no matter how one interprets it.
The whole "Four-dimensional Dream World" that Zhu Zhengwei thought of has now regressed to the agricultural era.
Because after all, it is a Dream World version of a map, without manufacturing factories and sources, here the black-and-white TVs, motorcycles, radios, circuits, firearms...
All the machinery has become ancient relics, depleting without new supplies.
Humans are astounded by the changes in the world, but do not know why this is so.
Ultimately, they can only attribute all of this to "Heaven and Earth's Great Catastrophe" "World Civilization Cycles Theory" "Divine Punishment on Humans."
An unforeseen disaster swept across the world.
Humans lost the power of technology and civilization, and the last great scientist Mr. Zhang Zhi, with the power of his scientific laboratory, left behind a new path of civilization.
Qi Eating.
Initially, people had no way of mastering it.
Then some people found surprising, after the death of some women, an aura emanated that allowed entry.
The first and second groups were absorbed by Zhang Zhi, it was the third batch of three hundred young women from the servers, the mysterious power within them revered by the world, called them the [Three Hundred Queens of God], killing them would grant rebirth.
Slaughter began.
When the first thug killed a woman and gained immense power, he struck down the bullet-less guards, discovering his power was enough to crush the laws of the cold weapon era, trample the social order, and become the "king" of a new era, thus many envious thugs began to imitate, blood-washing everywhere, searching everywhere for those three hundred women to steal their aura.
The world reverted to savagery.
All buildings became dilapidated ruins, decaying structures.
"War has begun, I will wait for it to subside."
Zhu Zhengwei did not waste these years.
Quickly through testing, Zhu Zhengwei discovered "mosquitoes" "plants" also dream, as long as they are living beings, with structures akin to "cerebral cortex", they can be drawn into his root dream.
Zhu Zhengwei stopped his dreamy travels, began focusing anew on reality, planning to enrich this world's ecosystem, thoroughly forming a truly civilized world.
"Go take a look at the zoo."
...
...
Time flew by.
This land descended into complete chaos, bandits rampant, territories divided, all motorcycles, bicycles, wires, convenience store items, using up without replacement, like a survival apocalypse, after destroying all the streets, looting stores, the world quickly fully returned to primitiveness.
In the chaos, every once in a while, Zhang Zhi would return to the old house in the back mountain of Bamboo Scenic Village, placing certain items in order.
Soon a hundred years passed, he wrote down the diaries accumulated over these hundred years, the first page of the diary described this great catastrophe:
[I decided not to use the aura, traversing the ruins of the old era with an ordinary aged body, I witnessed the birth of a group of extremely brutal, lawless thugs, stores ruined, vehicles dismantled, houses destroyed, burning, killing, looting, and in the end, all that was left was ruins, dilapidated walls. I called this day the Day of Epoch Destruction, New Calendar Year 000]
[In the spring of Year 013 of the New Calendar, during the thirteen years after the Day of Destruction, an unprecedented famine began to shroud the land, killing ninety-nine percent of humanity from starvation, the thugs finally calmed down, beginning farming, I discovered a treehouse tribe south of Mountain City, beasts were increasing, wolves, bears, the night became very dangerous, people were rebuilding houses on trees, wearing animal skins to hunt. It took five thousand years to turn monkeys into humans, disaster only took a few years to turn humans back into monkeys.]
[In the autumn of Year 017, I discussed postpartum care of hares with a tribal leader named Yunsa, attempting to restart animal husbandry. In Year 021, common illnesses like colds and fevers could kill people, but they emerged, using the aura to heal, like how the second brother healed Zhang Xia back in the day, I thought it could be called Witch Zhu.]
[In August of Year 027, all the tribes worshipped the Witch possessing power as the leader, citizens silently forgot each of them were once thugs who killed those women to seize power.]
[In the winter of Year 029, over the past thirty years, I discovered a large number of tigers and elephants, lions appearing, animals never seen before, the world truly returned to the ancient wilderness.]
[On New Year's Eve of Year 031, I believed the old barbaric age would last a long time, decided to become a sailor, starting voyages. In Year 0035, I encountered a giant shark on the east coast, that battle in the storm left a deep impression on me, we both got hurt, the Divine Factor blood serum hidden on me got lost.]
[In Year 0112, I docked my ship on a deserted island for repairs, preparing to start the seventeenth voyage and record stories in the nautical diary, to explore the boundaries of the world map, but discovered a ship navigating in the distance, they tried to speak to me this wild man, at this moment I realized civilization had begun to revive, nearly a hundred years after I began sailing, humans truly are the most resilient creatures.]
[In Year 0115, I shaved and trimmed my wild hair, returned to the mainland, this place was no longer the domain of those animal-skinned treehouse humans, the land was ruled by kingdoms big and small, the center established a slave dynasty [Hundred-Stone City], the emperor proclaimed himself a god, called himself Shiguang Changheng Emperor, he ordered a wall of a hundred giant stones to build a City of Miracles 'Hundred-Stone City', the empire's war elephants transported massive stones, countless laborers were conscripted, many of my companions died from exhaustion under the scorching sun while transporting the stones.]
[In the night of Year 0116, during the transport, I heard the overseers discussing the formation of a rebel army, a group of former age academics following the footsteps of Mr. Zhang Zhi, mechanics, steam, speedboats, motorcycles, Inherited part of the ancient civilization from the old library, called themselves the Bronze Kingdom.]
[A long-lasting epic and sense of heritage spanning three thousand years were condensing at this moment, the last baton of the old times had now been passed into the hands of the Bronze Kingdom.]
[In the winter of Year 0118, I heard that the few remaining Three Hundred Women also stepped into cultivation, to spontaneously protect themselves, like Second Brother once rescued Zhang Xia, I think you could call them Witch.]
[In August Year 027, the tribes revered the power-wielding Witch as their leader, the people silently forgot each of them once killed those women to gain power.]
[In Winter Year 029, I discovered that a great number of animals like wolves, bears were increasing, nights became very dangerous, people started living back in treehouses, wearing animal skins to hunt. We took five thousand years to turn monkeys into humans, and yet disaster only took a few years to turn humans back into monkeys.]
[The year 031 New Year's, I believed the old barbaric age would last for a long time, decided to become a savage sailor, commence a voyage. In Year 021 of the New Calendar, simple diseases like the flu, fever can claim lives, but they emerged, using the aura to heal the sick, like Second Brother treating Zhang Xia back then; I thought they could be called Witches.]
[Year 035, on the east coast, I encountered a great shark in the storm, that battle left an indelible memory, we were both injured, and the unfinished Divine Factor liquid hidden on me went missing.]
[In Year 0116 night, I learned from the overseers' conversation that a rebel army was formed, a remnant of the old era's academics following Mr. Zhang Zhi's footsteps, machinery, steam, speedboats, motorbikes, inherited parts of prehistoric civilization from the old library, calling themselves the Bronze Kingdom.]
[A long-lasting epic spanning three thousand years and a sense of heritage congealed at this moment, and the relay baton of the last era has passed into the hands of the Bronze Kingdom. History and civilization may be a thing of the past, but they are also the future.]
[In winter Year 0118, I heard only a few of the remaining Three Hundred women also stepped into cultivation, to spontaneously protect themselves, like Second Brother once rescued Zhang Xia, I think it can be called Witch.]
[On August Year 027, all tribes revered the powerful Witch as their leader, citizens silently forgot each had once been a thug who killed those women to seize power.]

We took five thousand years to turn monkeys into humans, but yet disaster only took a few years to turn humans back to primates.]
[On the New Year of 031, I believe the old savage era would continue for a long time, choosing to become a sailor, begin a voyage. In Year 021, colds, fevers, these simple diseases would take people's lives, yet they appeared, curing the sick using aura, like Second Brother saving Zhang Xia back then, I feel it can be called Witch.]
[In winter Year 027, all tribes revered the power-wielding Witch as leader, the people all fell silent, forgetting they were once thugs who killed those women to seize power.]
[In winter Year 029, I discovered over the past thirty years, a large number of wild beasts, wolves, bears, the night became very dangerous, people again began living in treehouses, wrapped in animal skin for hunting. We took five thousand years to turn monkeys into humans, disaster only took a few years to turn humans back to monkeys.]
[On the New Year's of Year 031, I believe the old barbaric era will last long, I decided to become a wild man sailor, set sail. In 0035, I encountered a great white shark on the east coast, that struggle in the rainstorm remained vivid in my memory, we were both injured, the Divine Factor blood serum hidden on me unfinished and lost.]
[In the winter of Year 117, we learned from the overseers' discussions that a resistance was formed, followers of Mr. Zhang Zhi's path from the former era's colleges, mechanics, steam, speedboats, motorcycles, inherited fragments of prehistoric civilizations from the old library, calling themselves the Bronze Kingdom.]
[A long-living epic and sense of heritage condenses at this moment, and the final relay baton of the old age has passed into the hands of the Bronze Kingdom.]
[In winter Year 118, I heard that few of the three hundred women have embarked on a path of cultivation, to spontaneously protect themselves, like Second Brother once saved Zhang Xia, it can be called Witch.]
