God’s Code

After reading the content of the letter, I could no longer afford to split my attention on such trivial matters. Before this, I hadn’t told anyone about this matter. So, after I finished recounting my second encounter with Zhang Ming, I paused for a moment and said, “Yesterday, a message came from Vima, stating that the research on the crystal ball has yielded results,” and the air in the room immediately thickened. “At the end of last month, I visited the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. At that time, I had a strong premonition that the Circular Mound Altar was the key, and it was at the Circular Mound where K unlocked the divine code. I hadn’t figured it out then, but now I understand. Have any of you been to the Temple of Heaven?” Ye Tong was the least patient and scolded me, “Stop beating around the bush, just tell us the results of the crystal ball research.” I ignored the girl and continued, “The layout of the Temple of Heaven represents heaven being round and earth being square, and the layout of the Circular Mound is similar. I thought then, isn’t this a series of concentric circles? And the platform of the Circular Mound has three concentric circles. As for the central stone, it wasn’t as crucial as I initially thought.” “Concentric circles? The crystal ball also has concentric circles,” Wei Hou remarked. Everyone present, being of high intellect, was trying to deduce something from my words, pondering silently. “Yes, concentric circles. But these concentric circles have misled us; we only see the appearance, which actually represents a philosophical proposition.” “Philosophy? That must be related to the heaven being round and earth being square you mentioned. Or perhaps, it’s about layers of concentric circles,” Lu Yun said, gently touching the purple jade bracelet on her wrist. I withdrew my gaze, which had inadvertently fallen on her, and said, “You’re close, but I believe none of you could guess the truth without knowing what’s inside the crystal ball.” “Are you saying there’s something else inside the crystal ball?” Liang Yingwu, sharp as ever, caught the nuance in my words. The X agency had used the most advanced human technology to study the crystal ball at the molecular level, so he was quite surprised by my implication. “For the smallest units of matter, humans call them fundamental particles. Once, molecules were thought to be fundamental particles, then atoms, atomic nuclei. As physics advanced, the term ‘fundamental particle’ remained, but its meaning evolved. Now, we talk about many types of fundamental particles, like quarks and gluons. Modern physics doesn’t allow humans to directly observe these minute entities, so we use particle accelerators to split them out during atomic collisions. Am I correct, Liang Yingwu?” Liang Yingwu shrugged, “For a layman, that’s not far off.” I smiled and said, “The Vima, of course, have their own fundamental particles. Because their technology surpasses ours, they can observe entities much smaller than what humans currently call fundamental particles. The X agency once examined the crystal ball and found a crystal molecule precisely at its center. Building on this, the Vima conducted further research, delving into their level of fundamental particles, and discovered something astonishing.” “At the atomic level, the space inside an atom is vast for the nucleus and electrons, with electrons orbiting the nucleus much like Earth orbits the Sun.” Here, I looked at them and continued, “The Vima observed something similar with the fundamental particles at the core of the crystal ball. They found a patterned orbit, unlike the natural state of typical fundamental particles, indicating it had been artificially modified. The result of this modification is… a new divine code.” At this point, my heart was pounding. If even I, who had already known this, was affected, Liang Yingwu and the others were even more shocked. “Are you saying the divine code was realized at such a microscopic level?” Liang Yingwu asked hoarsely. I nodded, “Four new mathematical operations.” “What do they represent?” Su Ying asked. “A worldview, it’s a worldview. The concentric light patterns of the crystal ball signify a worldview, which K also realized when he saw the double layers of heaven and earth, the triple concentric circles at the Circular Mound. The divine code’s message is the truth of the world’s composition.” Mystery (2) “I finally understand the discussion between the elder of the ancient Mahabalipuram tribe and Buddha Shakyamuni. It’s about Mount Meru within a mustard seed, one grain of sand, one world,” Ming Hui, having figured it out in an instant, sighed. This monk truly possessed great wisdom. Thunder exploded in everyone’s heart. Even I, upon recalling the truth of this world, felt a moment of transcendence. Su Ying, a step behind, was still confused, asking, “How do such tiny particles relate to the secrets of our solar system?” “Because those particles, unobservable by humans, form another existence similar to our solar system. Our solar system, which birthed humanity and seems immense to us, might be just a particle in an unimaginably vast world. Perhaps a universe measured in billions of light-years, to the world above ours, might merely be a single cell of some being.” Liang Yingwu’s eyes shone with complex light as he spoke slowly. “Ah!” Su Ying exclaimed, unable to say more. “Yes, and the world above ours, to the world above that, is equally insignificant. Such structures extend upward and downward, possibly infinitely, meaning there’s no real ‘fundamental particle.’ It’s like concentric circles, one circle containing another, which in turn contains another. However, the concentric circle structure isn’t complete because within one level of the universe, there are countless other universes. If a human cell is a universe, and a water molecule another, then imagine how many micro-universes make up our universe. The divine code is a proof, a hint from beings who have grasped the truth of the world to life in the lower universe. The civilization and wisdom of those who first saw through the world’s structure and began this hinting are beyond imagination, and only the elite among the beings in the lower universe could decode it. After decoding, they naturally wish to do the same, partly to pass on the hint, and partly to display their existence to the beings in the lower universe. For the beings in the lower universe, calling these upper-world entities ‘gods’ is not an overstatement.”
