The void was vast, and in such a vast void, any strange and wonderful thing could happen.
Before this, I had thought I had already visited countless unbelievable universes: the Great Nebula, the Closed Universe, the Ruins World, fragments of Avalon, even the void vortex formed by the Exile Fleet. They could all be regarded as worlds, each with characteristics that defied imagination and wonders that inspired endless amazement. After experiencing so many bizarre universes, I had thought I would no longer be too surprised by any world's oddities. But now it seemed that my imagination was still limited—the void never lacked wonders.
The world we were in was most likely not a "single-layer universe." At least beneath our feet, multiple layers of space overlapped. They might have been parallel spaces, deep spaces similar to shadow technology, or stable dimensional rifts that had overlaid spaces originally located at two different coordinates. We did not have sufficient equipment or data yet, so we could not determine how this strange state had formed. But one thing was certain: this seemingly unremarkable frontier region held a fascinating secret.
By then, Sandora had released over a hundred miniature probes. These silver-white, swarm-like probes were incredibly swift and far more capable than any artificial satellite. They could basically be used anywhere data needed to be collected but where it was inconvenient to go in person, including the Earth's core and the surface of a black hole. Soon, we received video footage taken from outer space, showing the planet beneath our feet...
"This isn't a planet!" I exclaimed the moment I saw the image returned by the probes.
Sandora glanced at me. "That's right. It isn't a whole one. It's half... no, less than half."
