"Three-dimensional beings cannot withstand the structure of space; this is too exaggerated. As far as I know, Feng Yi and Xiu Yi have also been to four-dimensional space, and their bodies were not affected in the slightest. How should I understand what you're saying?"

Allen said, "Low-dimensional space has relative stability. The four-dimensional space of this universe is only a primitive refraction of three-dimensional matter, not a true plane of existence. Your consciousness barrier is limited to three dimensions, like a virtual character in an FC game that can never step into reality, so it's impossible for you to understand what I mean. Simply put, if unable to withstand the oppression of space, the human body would in an instant become basic cosmic elements much smaller than dark matter."

"Are you leaving soon?"

"Sort of, I originally wanted to play a game of Contra."

"Contra...?" Blade Warrior's brows knitted slightly, puzzled...

"Ha ha ha... I've seen the process; whether to play or not is no longer important."

This... how to say, everyone had a bad premonition, as if this journey seemed more like a farewell. Blade Warrior said to Feng Yi, "Hey, you're not really planning to leave just like that and never return?"

Feng Yi shrugged, "Maybe, I don't know how long I'll be gone, maybe a moment, maybe forever."

Hearing this, Xiu Yi, who had been silent, could no longer sit still. Just after reuniting, they were about to part. To him, this mentor who changed his life, Feng Yi's role was far more than just a guide; he was like a mentor, a friend, a brother, and a father. Although it didn't signify the collapse of his faith, Xiu Yi still couldn't accept him leaving so freely.

Xiu Yi forcibly held back the tears that were about to burst forth, his iron fist nearly clenched into his flesh, and said with difficulty, "Brother Feng, I don't oppose your decision, nor do I have the right to, but... but, aren't you considering them?"

"Haha, I have never been bound by anything—of course! It's because of you guys that I can leave with peace of mind. This is not necessarily the end—right, is that dagger still with you?"

"It is."

"Let me see it."

After taking the dagger, Feng Yi examined it up and down. With a surpassing realm, Feng Yi returned the dagger to Xiu Yi, saying, "Here you go, a brand-new weapon fused with cosmic adhesive material. I can sense your thoughts through it at any time."

With that, Feng Yi also injected a stream of mental power into Xiu Yi's mind. In an instant, Xiu Yi finally understood everything. He understood what cosmic adhesive material was and why Brother Feng could always sense his existence.

"I understand, Brother Feng."

Nodding, Feng Yi once again looked at Jiu Ling, "You must have a lot of things bottled up inside, right? I knew I was leaving soon, so I never went to see you. I'm sorry about that." A gentle sigh, if possible, how could he not want to give Feng Luo and Feng Wu more care...

However, as a man, sometimes you have to give up certain things for promises made with your own mouth. In a sense, not seeing Jiu Ling and staying away from Feng Luo and Feng Wu is actually for everyone's good. Who knew they would hit a nerve today?

Jiu Ling was not clueless. Only at this point did she understand Feng Yi's unspoken bitterness, why he had not seen her for so long. Maybe Kexiao was right, and she shouldn't have come today. It might have been better to keep that missing deeply buried in her heart, right? But... with this meeting, with learning more truth, the buried longing only became increasingly intense.

But to be fair, knowing the outcome wasn't a bad feeling. Jiu Ling blinked calmly, moved closer to Feng Yi's ear, and whispered softly in a voice only he could hear, "I'll wait for you."

"Oh, are you silly?"

In response to Feng Yi's kind-hearted teasing, Jiu Ling chuckled and retorted, "You're not too smart yourself."

Since she had an answer, there was no need to linger any longer. She gave Feng Yi one last deep look, then turned around and walked towards the mecha without looking back...

"Hey, wait, aren't you leaving?" Jiu Ling suddenly turned around to ask Kexiao.

"You go ahead. I still have things to do."

"Haha..." The chubby man forced a laugh, "Don't make it sound like farewell. By the way, brother, what are you going to do over there? Can't you wait a few more years?"

"No waiting, how about you come along?"

"This..." The chubby man suddenly fell silent.

"I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. No one is willing to leave their homeland; no matter who it is, anyone far from home will harbor endless longing for it, even Allen."

As a friend, one should respect any of his choices. It is because of this that the Blade Warrior accepted everything. However, she soon realized that missing today might mean there would be no such opportunity again. "Allen, may I ask you a few questions?"

"Question and answer are always relative concepts, but as friends, that's a different story. Besides, the food shouldn't be free... um, ask away."

"I want to ask, can humans, through continuous evolution and technological progress, fly out of the galaxy to explore more unknowns and reach higher levels of civilization?"

Allen was silent for a moment and said, "The probability is slim. I think... humans fundamentally cannot leave the so-called galaxy."

"Why, why?"

"As for why... um, this should be a matter of cause and effect. The starting point of human exploration has long deviated from the answer.

— While exploring further unknowns, we should better understand our own insignificance. Rather than crossing civilization levels, humans should become intimately familiar with the planet they occupy. Only by truly mastering and utilizing planetary resources can they go further.

Instead of blindly pursuing technological breakthroughs and concocting non-existent lies, it is better to carefully consider what the end of the universe is when we calm down, why we exist in this world, where the end of civilization lies, when we die, when consciousness disappears, what kind of relationship will the world have with us, and where we will be then?

Hypothetically considering the world's existence of rebirth, we can even let our thoughts fly and imagine whether we would come back to the world again thousands of years later, directly entering the next stage of civilization—before that, never ignore the process. The inherent selfishness of human society has long formed a consciousness barrier, which traps more than just a single human civilization. It is like a runway, like a forest. We do not even know we are in the middle of the track, indulging in the nurture of the forest... When the forest catches fire, when the unfamiliar road is near, when humanity awakens, the ending has already been predestined.

Most civilizations disappear before awakening. Of course, the forest will still breed new life. Humans are not the first, nor will they be the last. In this social group shrouded by a consciousness barrier, humans are accustomed to self-preservation, good at clinging together for warmth, and mutual dependence—rather than bewildering development, humans should find the right direction, illuminate those around them through their own efforts, and try to ignite surging souls one by one."
