Time flies like an arrow, years pass like a shuttle, the road is long, the waves sing praises—this parting lasted two and a half years...

Looking back, it feels like merely the blink of an eye.

The gears of time do not stop turning, the steps of eras continue to shift; today, Mecha has fallen into decline, reduced to the backup force displayed in armies and organizational powers of various nations. Taking its place is humanity's grand Anti-Ancient Movement—the Golden Age of Ancient Martial Arts.

Strengthening the body has always been one of the methods advocated by the masses for longevity, though only a small portion of people persist in it. Yet it has never reached the heights it does now.

Today is different. When our quality of life improves and we no longer need to worry about material concerns, attitudes can change. There's indulgence in feasting and drinking, there's keeping fit to extend lifespan, and there's the pursuit of truth and answers. However, ever since nations unified strategic goals and implemented different policies for exercise subsidies, a silent transformation has quietly begun, becoming a habit for most people.

Only with a good body and longer life can we carry on more knowledge across generations. Coupled with the breakthroughs in Blade Warrior's genetic drug technology, it is believed that within mere decades, the average human lifespan will exceed 150 years, allowing us to explore even more distant futures.

This was Blade Warrior's happiest day in recent times. The moment she walked out of Eden's Black Technology Base, she felt reborn.

As she exhaled heavily, a weight seemed lifted from her. The two-year-long contract was finally completed. For Blade Warrior, this time was tedious and long, yet it was not entirely unpleasant. Being in the Black Technology Base, she had learned a great deal and made some new friends.

Especially Zi Mou—Zi Mou, from the Texas family, a graduate of Wind Thunder Military Academy. She was far more extraordinary than she appeared, contributing innovative insights to technological development, particularly in quantum separation technology. Though still in experimental stages, its effects had begun to take shape.

Quantum separation technology, also known as the Quantum Train, is characterized by micro-radiation and extensibility, inspired by Zi Mou's dream.

That day, Zi Mou had such a dream: Two trains traveled along a singular track, roaring toward each other with unimaginable speed. The trains were supposed to collide, yet they silently passed through one another...

She also dreamt of a ticketed passenger who, for various reasons, missed the train. Yet the moment the train started moving, the passenger suddenly appeared aboard.

She dreamt of a train speeding toward a pedestrian; the pedestrian panicked, but in the next second, the train transformed into a mirage and passed through him, only to solidify again afterward.

Human cognition is shaped by physical models, while the unpredictability of quantum lies in a realm transcending our understanding. Phenomena like the Third Rhythm or secondary spaces belong to a philosophical extension beyond conventional consciousness.

After countless experiments, Blade Warrior discovered that cosmic mysteries seem closer to an abstract numerical formula, typically inaccessible to people. Only at moments of utter despair—when hopes are crushed and spirits broken—might one establish effective resonance with it, termed transcendent psychic force. Being accustomed to physical laws, we might simply fail to understand how to proactively uncover this mechanism.

As quantum carriers, our bodies and everything around us are constantly eroded by magnetic fields. Dark matter is omnipresent, unable to resonate with our bodies or pass through quantum fields. Yet microscopic quantum phenomena can be molded by consciousness into anything we imagine—whether it's currently happening, never occurred, or is yet to come. It carries unpredictability and can trigger transformation.

Blade Warrior categorized this phenomenon as the Quantum Law Pulse—one of the three domains humans know yet cannot thoroughly delve into.

The First Rhythm: Gravity—the wind that blows, the water that freezes, a single flower or blade of grass; we can all consider them part of the gravitational temporal-rhythm rule.

The Second Rhythm: Thought extension, also known as 3.5-dimensional objective conscious dream space—fleeting illusions created by human minds, ephemeral as bubbles, like remnants of souls. They do not exist in the present universe but may originate from resonance in dimensions beyond ours.

Only one opportunity permits connection or even transcendence of these dimensions: the universe's third phenomenon, the Third Rhythm.

Regrettably, humans' subjective consciousness struggles to reveal the Rhythm effect. Often, it only manifests during significant events, such as the death of a loved one or pivotal moments in life and death. Our subconscious might then trigger short-lived Quantum Resonance.

For example, if someone suddenly becomes unbearably sorrowful, agitated, sensing that something bad has happened at home, then their fleeting awareness might represent brief resonance with a loved one, or it could stem from information relayed by an observer.

Though these are just hypotheses, after numerous experiments, when we combine transcendent psychic force with modern tools to transmit signals to a subject, that person can indeed experience brief resonance. This method proves especially effective with repeat offenders.

Despite the subtle field of this signal, Blade Warrior persistently attempted to amplify it through various methods—even applying quantum train technology from secondary spaces.

Now, however, after a two-year-long contract, it's time to set the matter aside for a while. But Blade Warrior did not intend to truly abandon the plan; she simply planned to rest for a time.

After all, migrating to Sky City isn't as simple as getting a Green Card or a resident ID. To put it bluntly, Sky City is a metropolis, and if she wants to depend on a certain sovereign power to utilize star domain resources, she must provide an equivalent exchange—be it genetic drug technology or quantum train innovations, it's merely part of the equation.
