Sub-light speed travel, that is, close to 100% of the speed of light combined with curvature compression, still takes several days to reach nearby star systems. Using the Third Rhythm, which moves two thousand kilometers per second, it might take years—or even decades—to reach the closest star system. By then, everyone would already be dead, so this method is clearly not feasible. This is why Sky Shadow asked Feng Yi about the maximum range of the Third Rhythm, deciding to use it as a basis for estimating distance.

Feng Yi hadn't truly conducted precise statistics on this matter, but it was apparent that the moving power of the Third Rhythm far exceeded the speed of light. As that old saying goes, "The mind is as vast as the sky is wide." The fastest speed in the universe isn't restricted to light; it includes the extension of our thoughts, the distance between hearts. This encapsulates the most delicate entanglement in quantum theory. Those who understand the essence of the Third Rhythm would already have the answer in their hearts.

Feng Yi did not provide any explanation to Sky Shadow or the others but instead transmitted a thought.

This thought stemmed from his experiences in the Fourth Dimensional Space, allowing everyone to intuitively grasp the terrifying power of the Third Rhythm.

The Third Rhythm not only detects the unknown that usually eludes our senses through cosmic fluctuations but can also break dimensional constraints via those delicate links, relentlessly pursuing the "cursed" aura to its end. It is an absolute force that transcends space, erasing even the fears conjured in the hearts of the Xiu Yi team under the immense pressure of true rhythmic reality. Obviously, its bizarre manifestations were no exception.

Regrettably, the Bizarre had now found a way to materialize into a physical form. This meant it was no longer an intangible entity but something with true form, substance, and thought. Even the Third Rhythm could not obliterate it—unless, by some accident, the Bizarre created a lesser avatar of itself.

Of course, such a situation would only occur if the Bizarre, in its effort to limit others, acted carelessly, thereby exposing its avatar to the Third Rhythm's devastating blow. But even so, its true body would still possess boundless energy, with its magnetic field remaining utterly intact.

Thus, at present, they could only settle for the next best option—escaping the binary stars and planning further from a safe distance.

Fortunately, with the Bizarre's current pace, it had not yet achieved the capability for interstellar travel. It needed to absorb energy gradually to strengthen itself, and this process was extraordinarily slow, leaving vast leeway for humanity.

With Feng Yi's thought transmission, everyone quickly came to understand the truly terrifying aspects of the Third Rhythm. For a moment, they all froze in awe...

This technique not only suppressed the Bizarre but also extended and spread through thought, enabling ultra-long-range spatial jumps. As thoughts broadened and extended, no matter how great the distance, it could be traversed in an instant—so long as the depletion of Mental Power permitted it.

Given that Feng Yi spoke of it with such confidence, it was clear that he was assured of his current mental state. Recalling his fragmented memories from traversing the Fourth Dimension, and thinking of the ballads surrounding Bai Zhexian's Wind God Legend, everyone suddenly felt a wave of surrealism.

Now they realized that the friend standing beside them was the very protagonist of the Wind God Legend sung by Bai Zhexian. The vivid stories mixed with fleeting thoughts flashing through their minds brought forth a yearning—a longing for the heroic image of Feng Yi in the Parallel Dimension.

The scenes from the Alternate Space unfolded before their eyes: Feng Yi's efforts to rescue Xiu Yi and the team during perilous moments, the awe-inspiring sight of the Interstellar Gate, the breathtaking tension as space collapsed—all these heroic and soul-stirring memories surged through their hearts!

Feng Yi, truly deserving of that name! Even in the final chapter of his life, in his quest to save everyone, he never abandoned hope. It was that one unwavering belief that carried him to the very end.

Until he exhausted every last ounce of strength, until he led everyone out of the Alternate Space, emerging under the light of the Zodiac's Twelve Houses, finally returning to solid ground—only then did he let out a sigh of relief and collapse, leaving behind an eternal regret.

Due to catastrophic depletion of Mental Power, he never rose again, lying in that world of pure white snow...

At that time, Mengdie rushed over in a panic, which led to a misunderstanding within the Xiu Yi team. They believed that Mengdie had killed Feng Yi, and without clarifying the truth, they launched a relentless assault on both Mengdie and Mingfei.

Yet, in truth, it was indeed Mengdie who had killed Feng Yi, but only because Feng Yi had been afflicted by the Soul-devouring Seal, leading to the events of that day. In other words, by that time, Feng Yi was truly already dead.

As for why Feng Yi was still alive now, he referred to his current existence as a "phenomenon." None of them could fathom the meaning behind Feng Yi's words.

Of course, Feng Yi sharing these memories was not intentional. His main goal was to demonstrate the utility of the Third Rhythm through thought projections. However, his scattered thoughts were so unguarded that everyone unwittingly followed the threads, gradually prying open the hidden chapters of his heart, as if reading a book that had never been opened.

For a moment, the group collectively fell into silence...

So that was the truth: Feng Yi's death had nothing to do with Mengdie. It turned out she was attempting to save him. Finally understanding the real cause and effect, Sky Shadow furrowed his brows slightly, and the sharpness in his gaze toward Mengdie softened.

It was only then that the Blade Warrior clearly understood the origins of those light crystals capable of traversing Parallel Dimensions.

Even Mengdie's doubts cleared—Feng Yi had instructed her to hand those light crystals to the Blade Warrior. To her surprise, these objects originated from the Fourth Dimensional Alternate Space, the world of the Magic Crystal Civilization.
