Liu Di, meanwhile.
With one step, he crossed into the Path of Return!
He had no other choice. He had to retrieve the Time Halberd for his high-dimensional journey to continue!
The danger ahead was unknown; he had even left Bulin aboard the Silver Shuttle.
He gazed at the world before him.
Its backdrop was entirely dark, yet it was not devoid of light. In the space ahead, countless "twists" seemingly formed from condensed colored light crisscrossed one another, connecting heaven and earth, north and south, stretching beyond the eye's reach.
Each one was as thick as an oil pipeline and incomparably dazzling.
These were wormholes.
Fast passageways created after dimensions had been pierced through.
It was like drawing Point A and Point B ten centimeters apart on a sheet of paper.
Even if your pen moved at the speed of light, connecting those two points would still take time.
But if you folded the paper directly in half, causing Point A and Point B to overlap, then you could pierce through both points with a single stroke. Transmission between them would no longer require time.
The wormholes before him might have been created by eight-dimensional lifeforms through Space Folding.
Or perhaps countless massive objects, like black holes, had fallen in, causing space to sink infinitely and connect with other dimensions.
In other words, the Path of Return contained countless spatial passages.
What they connected to could be a certain point in time in reality, a certain location in the universe—anything was possible.
From a microscopic perspective,
the "Quantum Entanglement" of quantum physics was in fact an extremely tiny wormhole linking two entangled quanta.
The diameter of that wormhole was so small that only a single quantum could pass through it. They could travel between one another with "zero time
