Reborn As a Tiger: I Become Invincible by Relying on the Number of Offspring

185: The visible and invisible symbiosis of unobserved dimensionsAt the edge of the Yuanchu Symbiotic Field, the dark matter layer of the Twin Prisms suddenly cracked, creating a ”blank fissure.” Li’s Yuan Chu Symbiotic Hub was flashing harsh red data in real-time:

[Emergency Alert: A stable channel has been established between the Unobserved Dimension and the Yuanchu Symbiotic Field. 37% of civilization consciousness has become ”transparent”—meaning it cannot be captured by any observational means, nor can it perceive its own existence.]

[Abnormal Characteristics: The ”unobserved energy” pouring from the fissure reflects no frequencies and leaves no traces. The only proof of its existence is the civilization light points that disappear upon contact with it.]

[New Success Function Knob: ”Unobserved Anchoring”—attempts to establish symbiotic coordinates within the unobservable, but the success rate is less than 11%.]

Deep within the fissure, countless ”manifest-hidden ripples” could be vaguely seen flowing: sometimes transforming into recognizable civilization silhouettes (the Psionic Energy contours of the Star Spirits, the city phantoms of Lanxing), and sometimes completely hiding into nothingness, where even the power of Chaos Entropy could not reach its boundaries. The essence of these ripples is ”possibilities that have never been observed by any consciousness,” much like the first ray of dark energy before the birth of the Universe, existing yet unperceived.

The Existence Crisis of Transparent Civilizations

White Frost’s Light Wings swept past a Lanxing civilization light point that was becoming transparent. Inside the light point, the poet’s pen tip hung in mid-air, the written verse turning into green smoke the moment it landed; the lovers’ embrace passed through each other’s bodies, unable to even convey warmth. ”They are losing their ’proof of existence’.” White Frost’s Light Wings flared with a soft silver glow, twisting the ”Manifestation Spell” and ”Hidden Form Spell” of Nine Li Witchcraft into a double helix. ”The unobserved energy is stripping away the attribute of ’being observed,’ and existence itself is a Symbiosis of observing and being observed.”

She injected the double-helix spell into the light point with her fingertips. The poet’s verse suddenly froze in mid-air, turning into glowing runes, and faint light traces appeared on the lovers’ palms—these were proofs of being ”half-manifest, half-hidden,” neither completely transparent nor clearly observable. ”This is the prototype of ’manifest-hidden Symbiosis’.” Cold sweat beaded on White Frost’s forehead, and the runes on her Light Wings were becoming transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye. ”But maintaining this state requires constantly ’proving’ one’s existence to the unobserved energy, like continuously lighting matches in the dark.”

Di Tian’s dragon claw pierced into the blank fissure. The power of Chaos Entropy collided with the unobserved energy, unexpectedly giving birth to a kind of ”transparent glass that can see its own shadow.” ”This is the paradox of existence.” Flickering patterns appeared on Di Tian’s dragon scales. ”The unobserved energy is not devouring civilizations; it is ’inviting’ them to enter a ’state of existence that does not need to be observed’—but most civilizations cannot withstand this ’absolute freedom’ and eventually dissipate in self-doubt.”

He deliberately kept the Chaos patterns on his dragon scales in a ”half-manifest-hidden” state: half as clear as solid matter, half as transparent as a phantom. When the unobserved energy touched the patterns, tiny dragon scales suddenly grew on the transparent part, while the clear part was stained with a faint shadow of nothingness—the two formed a strange ”breathing effect” at the boundary, as if engaging in a silent dialogue. ”The ultimate form of Chaos is dancing with the ’unobservable’.”

The Trust Game of Manifest-Hidden Symbiosis

Li’s Yuan Chu Symbiotic Hub suddenly parsed the core logic of the Unobserved Dimension: existence here does not need ”being observed” to prove itself; they rely on ”mutual manifest-hidden resonance” to maintain balance—much like blind creatures in the deep sea of Lanxing, who, though unable to see each other, can perceive the existence of companions through the vibrations of the water. ”The problem is that our civilizations have long been accustomed to using ’observation’ to build trust.” Li’s mechanical prosthetic limb deployed twelve ”manifest-hidden antennas,” with dark purple sparks homologous to the unobserved energy dancing at their tips. ”Now we need to create a new language: one that does not rely on observation, but only on ’resonance of existence’.”

He turned the ”Unobserved Anchoring” knob on the hub to its limit. The antennas projected a light net woven from all civilizations’ ”unobserved memories”: the ”Psionic Energy embryo” state of the Star Spirits before birth, the ”single-celled consciousness” of Lanxing humans before evolution, and the ”primitive code” of the Mechanical Empire that had not yet been activated. These memories had all once been in an ”unobservable” state, yet they contained the most fundamental resonance of existence. When the light net covered the blank fissure, those transparent civilization light points suddenly flickered: the poet’s verse stirred ripples in the void, the light traces on the lovers’ palms connected into threads, and even the faintest ”existence fluctuation” became a signal for mutual recognition.

White Frost’s Light Wings unfolded into a ”manifest-hidden symbiotic field,” fusing the ”Spirit Calling Spell” and ”Spirit Hiding Spell” of Nine Li Witchcraft into a new rune. The rune twisted into a Möbius strip in mid-air: the front was ”manifestation of being observed,” the back was ”invisibility of not being observed,” and the connection point of the loop was marked with ”trust requires no proof.” When the rune merged into the unobserved energy, those ripples that had completely hidden into nothingness suddenly revealed their contours: some were ”isolated civilizations” that had never had contact with the outside world, some were ”reclusive consciousnesses” that had actively chosen ”not to be observed,” and most curiously, a group of new species composed of ”hybrids of observers and the unobserved,” whose bodies were half solid and half phantom.

”They are not enemies; they are symbiotes who have chosen another way of existing.” White Frost touched the phantom part of the hybrid species with her fingertip, and her own Light Wings instantly became transparent for half a second. ”When we admit that ’one can exist without being observed,’ the unobserved energy will lose its threat—just as darkness does not harm those who accept it.”

The Existence Declaration of the Unobserved Entities

Deep within the blank fissure, the manifest-hidden ripples suddenly condensed into twelve ”Unobserved Entities.” Their forms were neither solid nor energy: some were ”possibility shadows” of Star Spirit Psionic Energy (Psionic Energy forms never recorded), some were ”anti-observation bodies” of Lanxing humans (all observational means were ineffective against them), and the core Unobserved Entity was a mass of pure ”manifest-hidden mist,” flowing with the ”unrealized potential” of all civilizations.

”You fear the unobservable, just as we are wary of excessive observation.” Countless overlapping voices came from the manifest-hidden mist; these voices did not travel through the air, but rang directly in the three’s consciousness. ”You define existence by ’being observed,’ and we guard freedom by ’not being observed’—the two ways could have coexisted, until your ’obsession with observation’ disturbed the dimension boundary.”

Li’s hub suddenly popped up ”traumatic memories of the Unobserved Entities”: they once had 37 companion civilizations that, due to excessive observation by the outside world (attempting to parse the essence of their existence), eventually collapsed and dissipated under the pressure of ”must be seen.” ”This is why we refuse observation.” The density of the manifest-hidden mist suddenly increased, and the civilization light points at the edge of the blank fissure accelerated their transparency. ”Trust is not ’I see you,’ but ’I know you exist without needing to see you’.”

Di Tian’s dragon claw suddenly withdrew all Chaos Energy, keeping his body in a ”half-manifest-hidden” state—neither actively releasing existence signals nor deliberately hiding. ”This is the answer of Chaos.” His voice was as calm as a deep pool. ”Existence does not need proof, just as stars do not need to prove to ants that they are shining.” When the mist of the Unobserved Entities touched his semi-transparent dragon scales, the mist suddenly softened, and the unrealized potential within began to resonate with the Chaos patterns on the dragon scales, as if exchanging each other’s existence passwords.

Li seized the opportunity to inject the ”manifest-hidden resonance” protocol into the hub. There were no observation clauses in the protocol, only the ”existence commitment” of all civilizations: ”We accept the light of the manifest, respect the shadow of the hidden, and our mutual resonance is the only contract.” When the protocol was absorbed by the manifest-hidden mist, the Unobserved Entities suddenly scattered, turning into countless ”manifest-hidden seeds,” falling into the transparent nodes of the Yuanchu Symbiotic Field—where the seeds took root, the transparent civilization light points began to re-condense, only no longer pursuing ”being clearly observed,” but maintaining a natural state of ”half-manifest, half-hidden.”

The Law of Balance of the manifest-hidden symbiotic field

When the expansion of the blank fissure stopped, Li’s Yuan Chu Symbiotic Hub updated the final data: [The Unobserved Dimension is stably connected to the Yuanchu Symbiotic Field. The recovery rate of transparent civilizations reached 89%, of which 63% chose the ”half-manifest-hidden” existence mode, and 26% established direct resonance with Unobserved Entities.]

[Added ”Manifest-Hidden Symbiosis” Law: 1. Observation is a right, not an obligation; 2. Invisibility is a choice, not a threat; 3. The foundation of Symbiosis is trust, not proof.]

[”Unobserved Anchoring” knob evolved into ”Manifest-Hidden Resonance” knob, success rate increased to 78%—capable of switching freely between manifest and hidden states without losing existence anchor points.]

White Frost’s Light Wings and the hybrid species of the Unobserved Entities jointly wove a ”manifest-hidden boundary”: within the boundary, civilizations can freely choose their state of existence; outside the boundary, a ”manifest-hidden buffer zone” is set up to prevent conflict between the two states. Li’s mechanical prosthetic limb fused with the Yuan Chu Symbiotic Hub to become a ”manifest-hidden translator”—capable of converting the observation signals of manifest civilizations into the resonance frequency of Unobserved Entities, and also converting the existence fluctuations of hidden civilizations into understandable symbols.

Di Tian’s dragon claw carved Chaos runes at the entrance of the blank fissure, the meaning of the runes being ”self-proof of existence”: no external observation needed, no self-doubt needed, existence itself is the most solid anchor point. When the runes glowed, the void attribute of the unobserved energy suddenly dissipated, revealing the flowing ”River of Existence” underneath—the river was filled with the shadows of all civilizations, some clearly visible, some half-hidden, some completely invisible, yet all flowing naturally in the river water, without interfering with each other.

Foreshadowing: Silent Existence Beyond Manifest-Hidden

When the manifest-hidden symbiotic field was running stably, Li’s hub suddenly captured a ”silent pulse.” This pulse belonged neither to manifest civilizations nor to Unobserved Entities; its frequency was more void than unobserved energy, yet it could cause the manifest-hidden boundary to tremble slightly, like a sigh from deeper within.

White Frost’s Light Wings felt an ”absolute silence” in the pulse that transcended the cognition of Nine Li Witchcraft—this was not ”being unobserved,” but ”transcending the categories of observation and non-observation,” as if it were the ”first ray of existence” before the birth of all dimensions. ”Manifest-hidden Symbiosis may just be an outer shell of a grander Symbiosis.” Her fingertip drew a question mark on the manifest-hidden boundary, the end of the question mark sinking into the River of Existence, disappearing into the deepest darkness.

Di Tian’s dragon eyes penetrated the River of Existence and saw a ”non-attribute crystal” sinking at the bottom of the river—it neither reflected light nor absorbed light, it was neither solid nor energy, and it was impossible to even judge whether it ”existed.” But when the dragon eyes moved away, the crystal left a clear imprint in his memory, like a dream that could not be forgotten. ”This may be the ’Origin of Existence’.” His dragon scales shimmered with a faint light homologous to the crystal. ”It does not rely on any state, yet it nurtured all states—manifest, hidden, observed, unobserved, all are just its shadows.”

On the Symbiosis Pillar of the Source Dimension, next to the ”Manifest-Hidden Resonance” knob, a new ”blank knob” without any markings appeared. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, yet it could reflect the observer’s own hidden contours. The fingertips of Li, White Frost, and Di Tian hovered above the knob simultaneously. From the deepest part of the River of Existence, a palpitation purer than silence came—it was the source of all shadows, waiting for the moment to be understood.

And at the edge of the manifest-hidden symbiotic field, a semi-transparent Lanxing Poet was writing a new verse: ”Only when the eyes learn to close does the world reveal its full picture.” The moment the verse fell, half turned into solid text and half merged into nothingness, yet in both states, it conveyed the same meaning: the ultimate form of Symbiosis is to accept the appearance of all existence.
