"Mo Ying, can you change the future of humanity?"

"Of course I can, but it's of little significance to me."

Feng Yi's brain was shaken again, and in a trance, he suddenly thought of a scene, a dimension beyond his imagination. This creature belongs to five-dimensional beings, naturally capable of altering the three-dimensional world, changing any order therein, after all, they stand two dimensions apart.

What does it mean to be two dimensions apart? One could make an analogy like this: being merely one dimension away allows us, three-dimensional beings, to arbitrarily control two-dimensional creatures.

This is just like playing cards in your hand. The Jack represents 11, the Queen 12, and the King 13. From the perspective of three-dimensional beings, cards are stationary, yet Jack, Queen, and King exist in the two-dimensional world they occupy, created by humans. Three-dimensional life forms can even replicate them endlessly through printing technology or destroy them with a simple gesture, but the cards themselves will never understand that they are being controlled.

Another most fitting analogy is an ant. Scientific research has shown that ants are four-dimensional beings living in three-dimensional space. In a spatial sense, ants are clearly not two-dimensional creatures because the space they inhabit has bubbles and thickness, and these tiny ants are fully equipped with organs for eating and moving, which would be restricted by the rules of two-dimensional space.

Yet ants lack three-dimensional perceptual capability. Their primary difference from three-dimensional beings is based on their misunderstanding of the rules. Ants can move forwards and backwards and have the cognitive capacity to judge, but they lack the concept of up and down in spatial terms. In other words, when a human touches an ant with a stick from an 'above' perspective, the ant cannot comprehend who moved its body, as the notion of changing angles up and down doesn't exist in its consciousness.

It cannot understand, just as we in three-dimensional space cannot see through the internal structure of the human body from other angles because such angles simply do not exist in our set of rules, whereas four-dimensional beings can easily observe three-dimensional entities in their full severity, with their cells, skeletons, and even beating hearts laid bare.

—Of course, ants are not two-dimensional creatures, and flying ants exist in the world. They simply have limited cognition of three-dimensional space, lacking a sense of directional depth. When ants are encircled by a white line, they will become lost. Some say these scientific studies are nonsensical, but they incidentally reflect the dimensional gap between dimensions.

Taking the timeline of life as a reference for speculation, fifth-dimensional beings can observe from a god-like perspective according to Einstein's theory of relativity. The perspective includes but is not limited to timelines of time and space, space lines, lines of destiny, nodal lines — high speeds of light greatly reduced, low speeds of light greatly extended.

In the sixth-dimensional space, the mother-universe, parallel universes endlessly stretch out, dimensions infinitely overlap, light and thought hold no actual significance, and black holes mark the historical process of cosmic destruction and rebirth.

Seventh-dimensional space...

Human understanding of the physical rules of three-dimensional space is still far from thorough, let alone the intertwined lines of spaces two dimensions apart. Contemplating Mo Ying's words, Feng Yi finally grasped their meaning — this creature could at least determine some futures we still don't understand precisely when not affected by Bizarre.

"Mo Ying, why did you search for Kexiao, and how did you make contact with him?"

"Beggars are dead, yet not dead. Every piece of matter in the universe is a manifestation of energy, which includes me and Bizarre — the reason I sought out Kexiao is that I found it interesting."

Feng Yi found it impossible to understand why Mo Ying found anything interesting, as higher-dimensional beings should hold no interest in any event involving lower-dimensional life forms, but he then suddenly captured a possibility — Bizarre!

Indeed, Bizarre is exactly the variable that could break the current rules and lines of destiny. Thus, the 'interesting' Mo Ying spoke of is likely the considerable interest in Bizarre, "Are you talking about Bizarre?"

"Yes, I'm curious about its existence."

"But why didn't you seek it out yourself, and what kind of existence are you?"

"Bizarre can't sense me, and I'm not sure if I can make contact with it."

In Mo Ying's narrative, Feng Yi came to understand that it prefers to observe and indicated that within human cognition, it is, in fact, in a state of death—a high-dimensional being's death should not be viewed with human cognition. It cannot leave this small space; once it departs, it will be completely annihilated. However, Mo Ying is capable of pushing and modifying the timelines of other people's fates on the world line.

For instance, the beggar who spoke with Roland earlier was actually a poor person who died in an epidemic. It was only through observing the timeline that Mo Ying saw when the beggar appeared; Kexiao would find him and converse. As such, when the beggar was resurrected from death, without disturbing the fate trajectories of others, he was able to successfully speak with Kexiao and propel the bizarre event.

As for that beggar who had already died, he was merely a thought of Mo Ying's. If it wished to recreate him, Mo Ying could replicate thousands upon thousands of identical beggars. Memories and characteristics are nothing more than added elements; once the beggar has a body, he will have the memories and habits bestowed upon him, while only the soul is irreplaceable.

"Undeniably, you are a great existence, but how did you die and how did you come to this dimensional space-time?"

Mo Ying saw no need to conceal anything from Feng Yi, proclaiming that higher dimensions do not maintain the stable state of lower dimensions. Perhaps a beam of light, a grain of sand, could possess an impact force that is the most terrible disaster in three-dimensional space. The cruelty of a war in the Fifth Dimension is far beyond human imagination, with weapons broadly divided into four types: Time Stagnation, Fate Severance, Dimension Strike, and Space Turbulence.

Time Stagnation would exile a thing millions of years into the future, or send you millions of years into the past through high-light space-time order, even to the very beginning of the universe, making return nearly impossible.

Fate Severance is a paradoxical principle that uses Time Stagnation to transport to the nascent period of an opponent's race and then destroy it; without ancestors, the civilization naturally ceases to exist.

Dimension Strike is based on Black Hole principles and is a forceful method of dimensional degradation. Through spatial compression, a civilization could be exiled to infinitely lower or higher dimensions, with unknown consequences.

As for the fourth type of weapon, Space Turbulence, Mo Ying traveled through it to the third dimension. It could discern everyone's fate nodes and time nodes but could not return to its original dimension due to the constraints of three-dimensional space rules. To put it in human terms, the current Mo Ying is more like a vegetative being confined in this tiny Four-dimensional Space, visible and audible but unable to move its body.

Although Feng Yi did not entirely understand the explanation, he got the gist of it. He was amazed by the original Fifth Dimension that Mo Ying came from—a truly vast and magnificent universe. Yet, what filled his mind was another question: does a high-dimensional existence not feel lonely or bored when stranded in a lower-dimensional space-time?

When Feng Yi asked this question, Mo Ying's answer made him think there was some truth in it: "Why would it be boring? Observing humans and other life forms in this universe is quite entertaining."

After all, time has no meaning for Mo Ying, as it views the changes of the world from a vantage point far broader than that of humans.

"Feng Yi, I've thought of another question."

"Please ask." Feng Yi answered sincerely. Mo Ying had already given him many answers, and it seemed not keen on elaborating on trifles, so naturally Feng Yi wouldn't be stingy in stating any conditions.

"You've already died, but why haven't you vanished? I can sense your thoughts and obsessions, as well as your regrets still exist."

Feng Yi didn't know how to respond, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Mo Ying said, "Usually, after death, a person is just a short-lived cosmic magnetic field, but you haven't disappeared; you still have obsessions."

"Is that so…" Feng Yi muttered to himself, even his own vague consciousness didn't quite understand, "Maybe, like you, I also wish to witness more things."

"What do you want to witness, the changes of the human era?"

"Some of it, but not entirely. More than that, I hope to see once again the rivals, friends, and places I passed by in the past."
