Chapter 281 - Dimensions

Heading outside, Caelum followed Xing Wei to the sky to demonstrate the Divine Dao of Stars. He is unsure what makes his Divine Dao Special as Xing Wei had not showcased it in the story. 

He could only guess that this world would be some sort of alternative verse where certain things are different. 

He's unable to use his Omniscient due to the world's complex laws and structure only glimpsing an uncertain future. However, Raphael was able to give him enough information that the Divine Dao would greatly help his Inner World creation. 

The destruction of his Great Zenith Universe did leave a bitter taste knowing that the world he had built was now gone. Nonetheless, he would be able to create a more powerful inner world with the help of Myriad Origin.

The energy itself is too powerful to even draw one in a hundred quintillions of it. He was able to draw out a wisp of it using his Divine Disk and Halo but even then it was unstable and too powerful.  

Comparing the aforementioned thirteen globes has the different energies that they used. It is not a cultivation rank, instead of a replica of the thirteen-dimensional palace that even the original God of this world did not create and was only born in it.

This means that the one who made it is from the higher dimensional plane who only made it to replicate the Twenty Four Great Palace in the Upper Cosmos. 

Beginning of Greater Dimensions,

The concept of higher dimensions exists in apotheosis. They are called Globe Worlds or Layered Worlds. Even though it was only briefly mentioned, apotheosis clearly stated the existence of greater dimensions, directly, in the last few novel chapters.

The first-ever mention of a greater dimension came from the "profound world" and "Unknown Sanskrit". This led to the beginning of the 4th dimension.

The Greater Dimensions, the same as they exist, are a confusing topic. One important concept is that simply being greater dimensional doesn't make a lifeform stronger than every other lifeform in the preceding dimensions.

Firstly, this is because of the way of cultivation. Cultivation helps lifeforms become stronger by absorbing the energy of their respective dimension. This is the one major difference in apotheosis.

Secondly, the greater dimension is not a tier of cultivation but a complete transcendence. This means that cultivation is unique to different dimensions due to differences in the constitution of the respective dimensional energy.

Finally, a greater dimension doesn't exist as a greater world but as a completely higher form of existence in terms of space and sometimes time.

Greater Dimensions of Apotheosis

There are a total of 12 dimensions in the novel apotheosis. Perfect Place, the so-called 13th dimension cannot be considered as a dimension but as the true world which one's existed before the dimensions.

1st Dimension: World of Nothingness. Similar to modern physics, this dimension is an infinitely small point (of everything). It is said to be similar to a perfect place. Energy is almost infinitely divided in this dimension.

2nd Dimension: Wall World. This dimension is simply a big picture of all of existence. Energy is split into more than ten thousand variants in this dimension.

3rd Dimension: World of Chaos. The world where the initial storyline takes place in a primordial chaos world. This is one of the many 3-dimensional subworlds in existence.

There exist at least ten thousand worlds similar to the primordial chaos world. All these worlds together are called the 3rd dimension. These words are separated by a wall and have a corridor to a profound world.

In modern physics, the 3rd dimension is a space with 3 axes which is simply a universe. But, it becomes much larger than a universe as in apotheosis the amount of space taken by each subworld is hundreds of thousands of times larger than the real universe. 

The 3rd dimension is made up of 3002 energies. Primordial Chaos is the essence aggregate energy of the 3002 fundamental energies.

4th Dimension: Profound World. Time is taken as the 4th dimension in apotheosis.

This might feel confusing as the 3rd dimension is split up into many separate subworlds. But every subworld shares the same time flow so that timelines in all these subworlds are restricted to the time of the third dimension as they are all existing within the third dimension.

The 4th dimension implies 4 degrees of freedom. A being that is 4th dimensional is living in 4 axes of space. Time is considered as the 4th dimension as it is a part of the 4th-dimensional space and not because it exists as a real changing object. 

A being who controls the time of the third dimension is not necessarily 4th dimensional. Life in the 4th dimension grew weak due to the 4th-dimensional beings of spirit sects becoming downgraded into the 3rd dimension so that they are restricted to a subworld. This world is formed by 373 fundamental energies.

5th Dimension: Star Dark World. Nothing much is known about the 5th dimension as most of it was already downgraded into the 4th dimension as energy.

But if said according to modern physics, this dimension represents all the parallel 3rd dimensional worlds with parallel subworlds containing the same spatial structure and different coordinates in that space. 

The parallel worlds are a part of the 5-dimensional space. This dimension is formed by 140 fundamental energies. The lifeforms of this dimension are hundreds of times stronger than spirit kings.

6th Dimension: The world of the 6th dimension represents the timelines of parallel 3 dimensional worlds. This means that the 6th-dimensional beings can travel to any point in time of the 3rd dimensional parallel subworlds. 

This dimension was made up of 86 fundamental energies before being downgraded. The beings of this dimension are tens of thousands of times stronger than spirit kings. 

The energy in this world is shaped like a band and ring size bands represent an entire mother world's energy.

7th Dimension: This world is said to be truly infinite in the novel but remains uncertain due to varying translations.

This world represents the concept of every single possible parallel world beyond all restraints of laws of physics.

This dimension contains parallel worlds with separate fundamental physical laws according to modern physics. Simply, it represents a single infinity (In terms of spatial structure and not energy. A real infinity cannot be physically or virtually formed no matter what as it is possible only in terms of perception. Real Numbers are infinite but none can write all of them Down or think of every possible number). 

The powerhouses of this dimension are millions of times stronger than spirit kings. This world is made up of 45 fundamental energies.

8th Dimension: In modern physics, this dimension is the fictional reality which is mostly impossible to exist due to physical laws but exists as a plane of infinite realities beyond the 7th dimension. This dimension is formed by 22 fundamental energies.

9th Dimension: This world represents all possible realities and concepts. All Physical Laws become irrelevant in this dimension. It is a reality of all things possible all of the time. This world is made up of 16 fundamental energies.

10th Dimension: This world is formed by 10 fundamental energies. It exists as the limit of all existence of the 9th dimension and the rest.

11th Dimension: Represents the second world formed from a perfect place. This world is infinite. It is formed by 4 fundamental energies.

12th Dimension: This is an infinite world-first formed of the perfect place. It is said to be infinitely endless. It is formed by 2 fundamental energies.

The Perfect Place, The true original world from which the dimensions were first formed. This world is perfect. It is an unfathomable existence that is regrettably endless and too small as a house. It is similar to the origin point formed by the 1st dimension.

[A/N: from Apotheosis wiki]

Caelum this information was lacking but it was enough to understand that these dimensions are similar to the true Great Palace. 

The energies gathered by the twelve globes/dimensions would allow him to recreate up to twenty-two as the Myriad Origin is the 22nd dimension plane only lower than Pre-existential Planes and Supreme Primordial Plane.

Luo Zheng who reached the Perfect Palace is likely to have realized that he had similar written works in a lower dimension. It was not his whole life story but he is aware of it. 

Caelum did gain a bit of information from integrating with the Myriad Origin that there is alternate earth that someone is writing to his advantage but it did not detail everything.

"Now I'll show you my Divine Dao only once."
