What is a universe?
It is merely a black bullet with a bunch of little lights spinning around inside. When fired from a gun it can kill the enemy.
What are galaxies?
The little lights flying all over the place inside the universe, too fast to actually catch their shape with the naked eye. However, they are actually also bullets. Bullets fired out of the guns of the creatures that live inside a universe.
What are stars?
The littler lights which make up the galaxies, moving too fast for the creatures that shot the galaxies to see. These are also bullets, shot out of the guns of the creatures that live in space.
The sun, not a very unique bullet, definitely not high caliber, just one that was fired randomly into the milky way galaxy. The star which used its gravity to pick up a bunch of little planets, one of which is the Earth, home to humans that also shoot bullets made of some molecules.
The sages weren't wrong when they said that each world is the back of a turtle and there are an infinite number of turtles all the way down. It was just that they had misperceived turtles for bullets that were being used to kill other life forms beyond the scope of their imagination.
This is the truth of Multiverse.
"What the F***," Chen Xie cursed. Did this nonsense even make any sense? His mom said something about some kind of cultivation technique which could only be learned by the members of her family or something like that?
Obviously, Chen Xie wasn't stupid, he knew that there was once a group of people who said that human wisdom is actually a spiritual gift and it is possible to cultivate the energy in the universe within the human mind to allow one to attain immortality, but those fellows were all found out to be wrong because there were no immortals. But apparently, his own mother is from a family which for sure has one immortal family member that has cultivated this technique to a super high level and is able to fight merfolk barehanded. If anyone else told Chen Xie about this he would call them an idiot, but if his own mother was saying this that made it a different story.
So, in order to teach him how to protect himself better, she decided to teach him her family's cultivation technique, also called "From the Universes to Galaxies, From the Stars to the Moons" which Chen Xie simplified to "MUGS" for Moons, Universes, Galaxies and other Sh*t.
Awaken, Prime Meridian! A deep mellow voice rang out in Chen Xie's mind.
Who is Prime Meridian? A transformer? Chen Xie thought.
F*** you, why would you confuse me for some dumbass robot? The deep mellow voice retorted, clearly annoyed.
You are alive? I thought meridians were points in my body why are you talking like a seperate consciousness?!?! Chen Xie completely ignored the deep mellow voice's retort in his confusion over having a new inhabitant of his brain. Explain yourself mysterious creature. And don't try to be like those old fellas who are always trying to be mysterious and are all like, "I won't talk to you about what I am because its not good for you, even though this piece of information is totally useless to you and even if I told you it would do nothing but I must be mysterious for the sake of being mysterious"
You've read too many Chinese Webnovels. Most people aren't disinclined to explain themselves to others. In fact, they are inclined to do so naturally. The deep mellow voice scoffed. Using your logic, each individual cell of your body must not be alive. Obviously, that is untrue, they each have a little soul, its just that the dominant soul in your body has connected to them with its soul web resulting in your ability to keep your body intact. I am also such a soul, but I am in living in your soul field, unconnected to you through the web which lets me keep my knowledge and consciousness.
Soul web? Soul field? Hearing these two new words piqued Chen Xie's curiosity. He really loved learning, it was just that he liked sleeping even more which resulted in his current academic predicament.
What is a soul web? He thought, trying to project this thought towards what he imagined was Prime Meridian.
Excuse me, but I think I just explained to you that I am not some robot that turns into a vehicle, so stop imagining my appearance in such a disgusting way. Prime Meridian retorted indignantly.
Sorry. Chen Xie apologized without even trace of remorse as Prime Meridian officially appeared in the image of Optimus Prime in his mind.
You little punk! I saw that! If Prime Meridian had eyes, they would probably be twitching uncontrollably at this point.
How can you see anything? You don't even have eyes! Chen Xie replied.
I just saw you imagine me as Optimus Prime! I can see all of your thoughts!
How rude. Do you know that it is against the law to invade my privacy without a warrant? Chen Xie said indignantly.
WTF are you being indignant for? By rights, I should be the one complaining!
"Xie, were you able to connect with a meridian?" Liu Qingmei suddenly asked as she noticed Chen Xie making a series of weird indignant expressions.
"Uhuh, he calls himself Prime Meridian. I think he is probably some kind of N.B.E.T. like the ones in the movies," Chen Xie stated as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Pr.. What did you say!?!" Liu Qingmei's body involuntarily shook. "You're sure he called himself Prime Meridian?"
"Yep, is this some kind of big deal?" Chen Xie asked seeing his mother's expression turn to one of shock. Is this noisy fellow some bad luck magnet? He thought silently.
BAD LUCK MAGNET YOUR ASS!!! Prime Meridian shrieked.
"Big deal. A very very big deal. Xie," Liu Qingmei hesitated for a moment, "pack your things".
"What?" Chen Xie exclaimed in fright, "Why are you kicking me out mom? I'm not even a legal adult yet! Don't disown me!"
"Shut Up! I'm not disowning you stupid!" Liu Qingmei facepalmed herself, "We are going to go train. If the meridian you awoke is truly Prime Meridian then your speed of training this art will be much faster than anyone else. If you can quickly train to the realm of immortal, in addition to your Sleep Domain you might really be able to become an invincible existence on earth".
"Whew, I'm fine with anything as long as I don't get disowned..."
"Why would I disown you?"
"Well, most of the main characters in a web novel have little to no relationship with their parents so that they can, you know, grow up as strong independent human beings and reach the apex of the universe. Since you obviously don't plan to kill yourself in order to further develop my character I thought you might be considering disowning me..."
