Worldbuilding, but with a twist

In this chamber, we will be building a world, but with a twist. You see, magic is real. A long, long time ago, a man from ancient China (let's call him Chang) got bored one day. Zooming out, we can see that Chang is standing in a lush forest, surrounded by the sounds of nature. More zoom, and we can see an entire continent: massive mountain ranges stretching all the way to the horizon, deep ocean trenches, and vast river basins stretching as far as the eye can see. Zooming out even more, we can see that the continent is part of a much larger planet, a planet part of a solar system. The planet is a massive ball, but the solar system is many times larger. Zooming... and we can see that our planet is just one of many planets in a galaxy. The planets range in size from tiny Mercury-sized planets to large Jupiter-sized planets. Zooming out even more, we can see that the galaxy has neighbours, many of which are even larger. Zooming out, and we can see that there are many many galaxies. Even more zoom, and we can see that we are in a cluster of galaxies. Even more zoom shows that we are part of a cluster of galaxy clusters. Even more, even more zoom shows that we are in a super cluster of galaxy clusters. Even more zoom shows thousands of galaxy super clusters. And then more zoom shows that we are in a universe. The universe is massive, but it's finite. We can see the "edge". Even more zoom shows that we are in a material called the "multiverse". And the multiverse is infinite, never-ending. Zooming out more and more, and we can see that the multiverse is expanding, growing and shrinking forever. More zoom shows that the multiverse is surrounded by something. Chang saw a "keyhole" above the multiverse. And the keyhole was glowing. Chang had... an idea. So he took out a small piece of metal, something he had made using magic. The metal was so dense that a few grams of it would have a mass of 1 solar mass. Chang took a few grams and tossed it at the keyhole. The metal flew out of the multiverse. Chang peered through the keyhole. And saw... something. Chang was frozen in place, after peering through the keyhole. For hours. Nothing happened. After a while, Chang snapped out of it. He wanted to show others what he saw, so he took a powerful magical artifact and touched the keyhole with the artifact. But... he was frozen in place. For hours. Days. Weeks. Eventually, the artifact got so tired of waiting that it... went back through the keyhole. Then Chang snapped out of his trance. He thought for a moment. And held the keyhole with his bare hands. Chang was frozen in place for days, weeks, months, years... but eventually, he snapped out of it. He told everyone what he saw. And the truth was incredible. Chang had seen the culmination of everything that had ever happened in all of space and time. The artifact had shown him all the secrets of the universe. From birth to death. The artifact had shown him how he could make a new universe. Just like the one he lived in. So Chang set out to make his own universe. And he succeeded. He repeated the same process, and made another universe. But he also did something different. He made a copy of his universe, and used magic to "merge" it with his current universe. Chang went through the keyhole of his own universe, and created another universe. He did the same thing in the new universe. And the next one. And the next one. Chang wanted to see what would happen if he made infinity universes. So he kept making universes. He made one after another, creating copies and "merging" them with the infinite multiverse. And then something strange happened. Chang was standing in the middle of a massive machine. The machine was made of tiny solar masses of the metal he had made, and was powered by a magical artifact. The machine was massive, the size of 1000 galaxies. Chang held the keyhole, and used his magic to "merge" it with the infinite multiverse. And something strange happened. The machine started to glow. The metal started to glow. And the keyhole started to glow. But it was odd. When Chang was standing there, watching the machine and the keyhole glow, there was a bright flash. And then... Chang was gone. And the machine was gone. And the metal was gone. And the keyhole was gone. But the infinite multiverse was still there. The same as it had always been. Except for one thing. The infinite multiverse had a new rule. Anytime any one made a universe, the infinite multiverse would "merge" with itself, creating an infinite number of copies. But that was no anomaly. You see, when Chang had made his own universe, and copied it and merged it with the infinite multiverse, he had inadvertently created a new rule for the infinite multiverse. The infinite multiverse had a "merge" mechanism. Anytime a universe was created, the infinite multiverse would "merge" with itself, creating an infinite number of copies. But that was not the only rule. There was something else that Chang had done, when he created his own universe. He had used magic. Magic to create the metal. Magic to make the artifact. Magic to make the machine. And magic to hold the keyhole. But magic had a price. Magic was fueled by... energy. But not just any energy. Magic was fueled by the energy of entire universes. And that energy was finite. So the infinite multiverse had another rule. Anytime magic was used, the infinite multiverse would decrease its energy. But the energy of the infinite multiverse was finite. So the infinite multiverse had a third rule. In 10^120 years, the infinite multiverse would run out of energy. And then... the infinite multiverse would end. But it would not end with a whimper. It would end with a bang. The infinite multiverse would "merge" with itself one last time. And then... it would explode. In a massive explosion that would be felt across all of space and time. And then... the infinite multiverse would be gone. But that was not the end. You see, when the infinite multiverse "merged" with itself one last time, it would create one last universe. The final universe. A universe where magic had returned. A universe where the energy of the infinite multiverse was infinite. A universe where the laws of physics were different. A universe where anything was possible. And then... the infinite multiverse would be gone. But the final universe would remain. A universe where magic was real. A universe where anything was possible. A universe where the laws of physics were different. And a universe where... I am writing this chamber post.
