The laws differ among themselves, and if the Third Rhythm can exhibit such power within this universe, then the rhythms emanating from higher dimensions might be even more terrifying.

However, when the group crossing over returned to this dimension, a year had already passed. At that time, even in higher dimensions, even with the abundance of fourth-dimensional matter, his existence was fleeting. The extinguished soul was still constantly depleting, unable to sustain the current state well.

Therefore, to break free from the constraints of destiny and extend the Power of the Soul, he had to erase certain habits, for habits are all acquired later in life. The soul exists precisely because of the richness of its purity, akin to a piece of paper.

Thus, when using an eraser to remove the markings on the paper, the paper becomes clean again, and his existence thereby extends for a period of time.

But this extension wouldn't last long. Perhaps in four-dimensional spacetime, the duration of extension might be close to a year. As the dimension decreases and cosmic matter grows scarce, his existence time would be drastically reduced—approximately equal to 30 Earth days.

This seemingly short time is actually entirely reliant on Mental Power. The stronger your Mental Power, the longer the duration of existence.

The difference, however, is that he is already dead. Strictly speaking, this body no longer even belongs to him; it belongs to a materialized form of the universe itself. Therefore, his dependence on this body has an ephemeral, parasitic nature, and cannot be replenished. Extinction is but a matter of time.

To put it plainly, Mental Power is both our thoughts and the vessel for the soul.

Can a person die from not sleeping? Undoubtedly, yes. Typically, surviving for three days and nights without sleep is already considered miraculous. To endure a week without sleeping—such individuals may be incredibly rare. Even for those immensely powerful individuals, their maximum time of existence can only be maintained up to about a month.

But Feng Yi's situation is utterly different from humans.

Humans can replenish through sleep, but he cannot. Because he is merely lodging within this body that originally belonged to him, his spirit cannot recover whatsoever—and this is the crux of the issue.

It may sound somewhat ironic, but humans are often like this. As the old saying goes: "One enters life with nothing, and leaves life with nothing." Even your body doesn't actually belong to you—it's a product of the universe. Only the soul is irreplaceable—this is the most precious thing one possesses.

Feng Yi told Sky Shadow that his time could originally be sustained up to 30 days. With the battles in the early stages against the Bizarre, he had already lost part of that time, compounded by the consumption caused by returning, leaving him with barely any time remaining—perhaps one to two days, or a few hours.

But regarding life and death, Feng Yi had always been indifferent. Rather than continuing a prolonged, agonizing existence, he would prefer to have it end directly and swiftly. Under the current circumstances, living had instead become a painful torment—an unbearable suffering.

Sky Shadow gradually understood Feng Yi's plight and why Feng Yi's attitude toward others seemed cold. After all, this departure was a complete and definitive journey, free from attachment. Instead of forging connections with others, it was better to leave with fewer entanglements.

What Sky Shadow didn't expect was that Feng Yi had encountered such an ordeal. What puzzled him was what Feng Yi meant by a miracle. Breaking the chains of destiny—this was something Sky Shadow couldn't quite comprehend. When Sky Shadow posed the question, Feng Yi fell silent momentarily, as he didn't fully understand it either.

Feng Yi only explained to Sky Shadow that he couldn't grasp the intricate mystery Mo Ying had mentioned. He merely relayed Mo Ying's words: there was a way to avoid death, which was through the miracle inherent among the unique human species. Believe in miracles, and miracles will exist. Have faith in your steadfast efforts, and rewards will be right by your side.

Feng Yi had indeed tried some methods on this matter, but the time left to him was insufficient—only a short month. Instead of wasting away this month pondering unproductively, he might as well dedicate himself to what he deemed meaningful. Thus, he set off to the Twin Stars to confront the Bizarre. This decision eventually unfolded into the present situation.

He had anticipated this outcome, although the course of events deviated somewhat from his expectations. He hadn't foreseen encountering the group at the Twin Stars. However, overall, the process changed, while the outcome remained unaltered. On the contrary, this turned out to be something good.

Precisely because of his brief revival, he had the opportunity to bid farewell to everyone. And precisely because of this fleeting moment of revival, he was able to lead the group back during that critical juncture. Otherwise, the battle today would've been fraught with unpredictable dangers and unimaginable consequences.

The future depended on everyone now. Feng Yi himself had no lingering regrets—this was essentially the case. However, if regrets were to be mentioned, there were inevitably some. His rivalry with Kexiao had always been a thorn in his heart. Although Feng Yi's strength had already surpassed what it once was, many matters are not determined solely by strength.

The ties between him and Kexiao were more determined by the opponent. Even if Feng Yi's strength improved by two levels, when facing Kexiao, he would suppress his strength back to their original level during their clashes.

Feng Yi believed that even if Kexiao were in his place, he would undoubtedly make the same choice. Ever since the national war began, neither of them had managed to secure a decisive victory over the other.

Thinking of this, Feng Yi casually asked Sky Shadow about Kexiao's current situation. Barring any surprises, Kexiao should've already retired to pastoral life, free from political affairs. After all, Kexiao had once shared with him his aspirations for the future.
