Black Hole.
The most mysterious celestial object in the entire universe, without exception.
It is intangible and formless; apart from gravity, it cannot be observed in any other way.
Even Xue An, during his interstellar travels, keeps a respectful distance from such celestial objects.
After all, that troublesome gravitational pull would make anyone scratch their head.
Fortunately, they generally only appear at the cores of galaxy clusters, and it must be a large galaxy cluster, so even in this vast universe, their number is limited.
At this moment, Xue An’s destination is the most central location of the entire Multiverse.
Here, the largest and most magnificent superclusters of the universe are distributed. At the core of the galaxy cluster is a massive black hole, with a mass reaching 400 billion M, equivalent to the mass of 400 billion suns.
Even someone as powerful as Xue An must treat such a gigantic black hole with caution.
One misstep and it’s possible to fall into the gravitational maze of this black hole. In that case, even though Xue An wouldn’t die, getting out would require considerable effort.
This has nothing to do with the strength of one’s abilities but is because such a massive black hole is pletely an embodiment of the will of the Heavenly Dao.
And as long as you are within the Multiverse, you must show due reverence to this will of the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, Xue An stands in the void hundreds of billions of kilometers away from the black hole.
Even with such a vast distance apart, due to the enormous gravitational pull of the black hole, the space around Xue An is still slightly curved.
From time to time, stars can be seen being captured by the black hole’s gravity, then skimming through the dark void, falling into the black hole at an accelerating speed.
Despite these stars having enormous mass, in front of this black hole, they are like mere specks of dust, failing to stir even the slightest ripple before being effortlessly torn apart and merging into darkness blacker than the void itself.
Witnessing such a spectacular astronomical phenomenon, even though he was mentally prepared, Huyue, who acpanied Xue An, couldn’t help but feel somewhat dazzled and disoriented.
"Ma... damn, I figure that even an Immortal Venerable would probably be stripped to the bone if they entered this thing! Really, is the path to the High-Dimensional World inside it?" Huyue said, looking a bit pale.
Xue An chuckled but didn’t respond to his words; instead, he turned to look at Zhang Tianyou, who also had e along.
At this time, Zhang Tianyou is already the Deity in charge of the entire Multiverse Network, considered omniscient and all-knowing at the level of human cognition.
That’s why he acpanied Xue An.
To help Xue An learn as much as possible about the black hole.
Looking at the gigantic black hole ahead, he opened the portable foldable backpack he carried.
Buzz!
Countless mechanical beetles flew out from within, integrated into various types of detectors, and then flew out in all directions.
Moments later, all sorts of data began to transmit back.
Then Zhang Tianyou took a deep breath, though with his mechanical body, he didn’t actually need to breathe, but out of human habit, he retained this function.
"Humans have actually observed this black hole long ago and named it S5004. Later on, I supplemented several observations, and it can be basically determined that this is a black hole that formed only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang!"
"It can also be said to be the earliest black hole in the entire Multiverse. After the erosion of over ten billion years, its mass has not evaporated; instead, it has grown more massive due to constant devouring!"
"Its current mass is as enormous as several trillion suns. Such a massive celestial object actually exceeds the theoretical limit, which is to say, theoretically, such a gigantic celestial object should not exist!"
"It should have split apart due to the excessive mass, yet strangely, it has not; instead, it has bee more robust. This once aroused my suspicion, but due to a lack of evidence and data support, even though I had suspicions, I could not deduce how it became like this!"
"Until this incident, I suddenly realized that the reason this black hole hasn’t disintegrated is likely because it is a point of overlap between the Lowly World and the High-Dimensional World!"
"Its mass is considered extremely large in the Lowly World, but it might be pletely insignificant in the High-Dimensional World. So, the excess energy is being vented into the High-Dimensional World!"
Zhang Tianyou explained fluently, but Huyue on the side listened somewhat bewilderedly.
"Hey, after talking for so long, I didn’t understand a word. Just tell me, is this thing a path to the High-Dimensional World or not?"
Zhang Tianyou nodded, "Yes!"
"Why not just say that without all the babble?" Huyue rolled his eyes and started rolling up his sleeves.
"Since it is, that’s good. Later, I’ll go in with you, and we’ll deal with those evil beings together!"
Before Xue An could speak, Zhang Tianyou already shook his head, "No, you can’t go!"
"Why not?"
"Because you simply cannot approach it!"
Huyue, as if hearing a joke, pointed at his nose, "You’re saying I can’t even get close to it? Zhang, have you been deceived by my appearance? I am a dignified Immortal Venerable-level strongman, the Nine-Tailed Fox King! Even if this black hole is something fierce, I don’t fear it!"
But Zhang Tianyou still shook his head, "I know all these you said, but even if you were to grow a tenth tail, you still couldn’t approach this black hole!"
"You...." Huyue was a bit irritated.
Zhang Tianyou turned to look at Xue An, then in an extremely serious tone said, "Xue An, only you can enter this black hole, but even you cannot enter it in a full state!"
Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What do you mean?"
"The physical nature of this black hole is quite marvelous. Due to its excessively strong gravitational pull, the surrounding space is bent to the extreme, and light cannot escape from it, which also means that information within is isolated from the outside world!"
"This isolating surface is also referred to as the event horizon. Due to the quantum firewall effect, this event horizon does not allow any matter to pass through! Even if you want to traverse it physically, you’d first be torn apart by strong tidal forces; then the atoms that make up your body would be stripped of their shells by the immense gravity and lined up in a straight line, crashing onto the event horizon."
"Frankly, it’s like squeezing toothpaste through a tube, being squeezed by an invisible giant hand through space."
After Zhang Tianyou’s description, Huyue, who was eager to enter the black hole just before, now seemed a bit discouraged.
"It’s... it’s that dangerous? Then... then, Old Xue, maybe we should try to see if there’s another path, after all, this thing is too dangerous!"
