Adding the Destiny Starburst controlled by Sky Shadow from another dimension, if Feng Yi's reasoning is linked in this direction, it does indeed seem highly plausible.
In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted to Roland, asking whether she had noticed any changes happening to herself, even if they were just minor details.
"Well... if you want to talk about changes, there are indeed some. But without thinking deeply, I might overlook such issues," Roland replied hesitantly. As for what kind of changes? Her answer left people shocked, because she mentioned premonitions. Roland experienced this a handful of times but never paid much attention to it.
Roland explained that the first time she experienced premonition was on Sara's planet in the Multiverse. At that time, she had a certain feeling—an inexplicable emotion—that Feng Yi would definitely be in that specific tavern. Driven by this intuition, she actually found Feng Yi there and revealed to him her reasons for searching for him, which led to the subsequent events.
The second premonition occurred during the second crossing into a Parallel Dimension. Roland foresaw that she would undoubtedly find the younger version of Feng Yi this time. Even the buildings and scenes on Colonial Planet 103 were mostly identical to her premonition. Roland merely considered it a coincidence since fleeting thoughts only pass momentarily through the mind.
But now, as Sky Shadow mentioned these insights, coupled with the situations occurring around everyone, perhaps they might truly have grasped certain unknown abilities. After all, the average combat level in the other dimension has already surpassed that of this universe by leaps and bounds—not just by a single step.
One must understand how terrifying Feng Yi's combat skills in that dimension were. His baseline combat strength was immeasurable, and his upper limit was even more enigmatic. Yet from Sara's words, the team could discern her unwavering confidence in Feng Yi's ability to defeat the bizarre entities. Her confidence was not blind; according to the growth rate under the other dimension's cosmic conditions, it was certainly plausible.
The third person to ask a question was the chubby one. Upon learning about Roland's mysterious premonitions, the Blade Warrior immediately asked if the chubby one had developed any special abilities—like walking through walls, spying, or x-ray vision. And surprisingly, when it came to Zhang Xiaobo, she might actually think along those lines.
Zhang Xiaobo's face turned red when mentioned. "This…"
"What do you mean 'this'? Hurry and answer!"
"No."
"No? Then why are you blushing?"
"Can't I blush even if there's nothing? As a young guy, being put on the spot like this, how could I not blush?"
The Blade Warrior rolled her eyes. This scoundrel was absolutely infuriating. She firmly planted her hands on her slender waist and declared to Zhang Xiaobo with mock seriousness that he needed to answer again. Otherwise—hmph!—if he dared to lie, he'd face grave consequences.
Zhang Xiaobo instantly caved, flashing a fawning smile. "Hehe, I'm just an ordinary guy, nothing special compared to you all. I really haven't discovered any unique talents. If I had some extraordinary ability, I wouldn't hide it either."
"Well, what he said isn't entirely unreasonable."
Huh? It was rare to see Sky Shadow speaking up for others. The Blade Warrior probed, "What do you mean?"
"Most of the people living on that planet are just ordinary people. That's all I'm saying."
It must be said that Zhang Xiaobo reacted quickly this time. He promptly grasped Sky Shadow's abstract phrasing and understood its deeper meaning. "Hey, I think this is like the concept of unlocking the Ren and Du Meridians in cultivation worlds."
"Unlocking the Ren and Du Meridians?"
"Of course not! What Sky Shadow probably meant is that the ordinary people on that planet remain ordinary. It's just that, due to the abundance of resources, their cultivation progresses faster compared to this universe. But without cultivation, if the foundation is zero, then no matter how much you multiply zero, the result is still zero."
Zhang Xiaobo's explanation hit the nail on the head, instantly making everyone realize the crux of the matter. What he meant was, only beings with a certain amount of inherent strength would be able to experience insights in that resource-rich dimension. For regular people, they'd still remain regular.
Yet, just as Zhang Xiaobo explained this, he suddenly froze! Because, technically, he wasn't just an ordinary person. Even though he seemed completely unremarkable compared to the rest of the team, Zhang Xiaobo was at least a Rank 2 warrior. His individual combat capabilities, while perhaps not outstanding, made him more than competent when facing ordinary people in single combat. There was no contest, really.
But still, he hadn't discovered any hidden attributes within himself. Thinking this through, Zhang Xiaobo quickly held his breath and focused his mind, diving into a meditative state for self-adjustment...
One second, two seconds passed. Yet after ten seconds...
Smack! The Blade Warrior gently slapped his back. "I knew you'd make a fool of yourself. We're discussing serious matters here."
Sky Shadow sneered at Zhang Xiaobo's antics before turning to Mengdie, saying, "Your speed must have changed, right?"
"This…?"
It must be said; this was the first time Sky Shadow actively spoke to Mengdie. Previously, the two had behaved like strangers occupying separate worlds—never interacting even while part of the same team. Their only moment of direct contact came during critical situations in another dimension, when Sky Shadow tasked Mengdie to escape and lure away the Cantelu warriors. Beyond that, they had no other exchanges.
But now, Sky Shadow broke the norm by actively asking Mengdie a question. Perhaps his changed attitude stemmed from recalling Feng Yi's memories or perhaps other reasons.
Mengdie nodded softly in response...
What shocked everyone even more was that Mengdie had long since noticed the changes in her speed but hadn't disclosed them to anyone.
To showcase how fast she had become, Mengdie responded vividly with action. With a quick motion of her slender hands, a Gale Seal rapidly took shape! Coupled with the seal technique: Heaven Opening Seal.
Radiant light flowed. In an instant, Mengdie split her figure into two, then into four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two—returning to her original position moments later...
Even Roland couldn't help gasping upon seeing this display. Her voice carried awe: "Mengdie is able to forcibly create clones using sheer speed? Her speed is unbelievable."
"Ah? Roland, even you say that?"
"Heh, I could hardly keep up with her movements…" Roland shook her head with a wry laugh, admitting that in terms of pure speed, she might be no match for Mengdie.
Of course, Roland's comment only referred to the difference in speed. By comparison, in overall combat ability, Mengdie clearly fell short of Roland. However, it couldn't be ignored—speed, to a certain extent, granted an absolute advantage in battle.
After all, Sky Shadow himself was once defeated by Mengdie. The reason for his loss was his absolute disadvantage in speed, which led to quicker exhaustion. Mengdie's agility far surpassed his own, reducing her energy consumption while forcing him to expend greater energy in pursuit. Over time, he was bound to lose, and so he had yielded voluntarily.
Currently, Mengdie might not have enough offensive capability to break through defenses. Yet no one dared to make definitive statements, considering how low-profile Mengdie typically was. Her hidden abilities remained a mystery to the team, and since her speed had improved, it was likely her combat abilities had also risen.
As for the Blade Warrior, special insights were unlikely due to her unique physical condition. Thus, the group didn't dwell on her or Iman, and instead speculated about whether Kexiao might have uncovered anything before his death. However, since Kexiao had already passed away, resolving this matter was unquestionably difficult for the group.
Under these circumstances, Sky Shadow proposed a bold experiment—to send Kexiao's corpse to a mysterious location. He then relayed Feng Yi's words to the others with slight modifications, careful not to reveal any details about the Observer.
For one, Sky Shadow had promised Feng Yi not to expose this higher-dimensional being's existence. Secondly, Feng Yi had hinted at Mo Ying's origins being incredibly enigmatic. Given the subject involved theology, it was best to tread lightly. Feng Yi's disclosure about Mo Ying to the bizarre entities was deliberate—hoping to involve Mo Ying in this strange mire, a move that could potentially spark a glimmer of hope for humanity's current predicament.
