"Or maybe it's just, you know, in Dixing people are breaking the laws of physics all the time, so people might not have a very solid grasp on them. Hard to know what's a "law" when it doesn't apply all the time. So it might be super interesting to discover this whole field of "how the world works absent dark energy"?"

Oooh, that's a super cool concept! And maybe once they know more, they can break the laws even more efficiently. :D

"About Changcheng, though?? *covers face* I think that crosses a line for me, lol."

Lolololol *just about cries laughing* xD xD xD :D Just the general concept, and lol no, I don't think he would actively enjoy these specific visions. xD
