However, Feng Yi's departure this time might truly be final, even for someone as extraordinary as him.

Sky Shadow vividly remembered their brief conversation with Feng Yi, during which Feng Yi revealed a peculiar explanation derived from Mo Ying. Mo Ying conveyed that the Third Rhythm Cosmic Principle itself inherently favors the observer. It is precisely this ultimate force stemming from the essence of the universe that could enable Feng Yi's resurrection, rebirth, and the ignition of the Life Fire.

Unfortunately, Feng Yi was unable to delve deeper into the mystery. Or perhaps, within his brief lifespan, he simply didn't have enough time to thoroughly analyze the unique power he possessed.

Macroscopic effects and evolution, quantum mechanics and observation, change—whether expressed through time, space, consciousness, or thought—even the universe around us, are merely the material evolution forms and processes connected to the Third Rhythm.

In this process, Feng Yi's existence undoubtedly aligns with that of the observer itself. The Third Rhythm becomes even more penetrating; under its field of influence, time, space, and thought lose their practical significance. Every material thing becomes tangible and visible, including the unpredictability of quantum randomness.

The macroscopic presentation of the universe is no more than the linked medium of the microscopic world. Even though the Bizarre holds boundless energy, in Feng Yi's view, it is devoid of practical significance. Without resonant linkage within the Dark Magnetic Field, the Bizarre's avatar loses all meaning under the Third Rhythm's field of influence and subsequently shatters. This is precisely the most terrifying aspect of the Third Rhythm.

The Third Rhythm is like a door connecting to an unknown realm. Before this door, everything is fixed, tangible, visible. Order and rules can all be altered, originating from the power of the door itself.

Yet, the door itself remains shrouded in mystery—even its creator has no idea how to open it. Ironically enough.

Sky Shadow shook their head, unwilling to waste more mental energy on this matter. Since the issue of the Bizarre couldn't be resolved in a short period, the most pressing concern was how to deal with Kexiao.

Entrusting Kexiao to Saudi was clearly the most unwise option. If Feng Yi could achieve a phenomenological resurrection, might Kexiao also achieve something similar through that mysterious force? The likelihood was incredibly slim, but not entirely impossible. As long as they followed Feng Yi's instructions and transported Kexiao's body to the specified coordinates, it might just work.

This was why Sky Shadow made that somewhat cryptic statement to the group… and also hinted that Feng Yi's revival involved the same principle.

Zhang Xiaobo was completely stunned. "Damn! This is way too far-fetched. Are we living in a sci-fi novel now?"

Blade Warrior gave him a reassuring look, as if to say, "That's right, you're in a sci-fi novel as Sky Shadow described—one straight out of a second-dimensional realm."

Of course, this was merely a brief mental exchange between the group.

Just then, Sky City's administrator Yita took a few quick strides toward them, her face brimming with joy. "Blade Warrior, you've finally returned! I thought…"

"Let's not go into that. What happened? Why couldn't we reach you?"

Yita explained that a lot had happened during the past year. First and foremost, Sky City had come under attack from the Bruce Space Pirate Group.

The events reportedly stemmed from the Bizarre. With its unrelenting invasion of nearby star systems, Maraca's Freedom Port had also become unsafe. After all, Maraca originally belonged to no specific power; by the time everyone left, within just half a year, it had gradually turned into a haven for lawlessness.

Currently, the political situation across various nations has become one of inward-focused survival, prioritizing the migration of their own core star systems. With insufficient human resources in high demand and internally stretched, nations have even less attention and care to spare for territories outside their jurisdiction.

Under the absence of a sovereign country's protection, Bruce's pirate group had grown exceptionally rampant, plundering furiously in nearby areas. Sky City simply became one of their targets.

Thankfully, Bruce himself was careful not to overstep. He harbors no hostility toward the Federation. During the Bermuda Century War, the Blazing Flame Corps had coordinated some interactions with Bruce's Space Pirate Group, even forming temporary alliances and offering them certain favors—partly due to Feng Yi's influence and partly considering Blade Warrior.

So, when Bruce's pirate group raided Sky City, upon learning the news, Bruce simply ordered a retreat. Unfortunately, the quantum device was still damaged, rendering the group unable to locate the original coordinates.

Fortunately, there was a second backup coordinate, which allowed them to find this region of space. To prevent the same situation from occurring again, Yita decided to relocate Sky City to a nearby asteroid field to hide—both to observe the surroundings and to avoid future pirate group incursions.

In these precarious times where everyone feels endangered, no one can truly escape unscathed. Madness courses through the veins of every individual. Not to mention the grand Sky City, lacking battle personnel and populated mostly with service-model maids. Yita had no choice but to turn to avoidance tactics.

Without Blade Warrior stationed, Sky City is effectively a sitting duck. Without Yita's influence reaching the upper echelons of the Federation, gaining military protection was near impossible.

As for money? In this era, currency is no longer lacking; what's in dire shortage are people. Even with the close ties Sky City forged with the Jade Clear Sect, when facing space pirates and their steel armadas, they were no better than helpless prey, utterly incapable of resisting.

Regarding the Blazing Flame Corps, perhaps they might intervene under Blade Warrior and Feng Yi's relationship, and John might step in to help.
