Liu Di remembered.
Those little Green-skinned People had once explained that behind them stood an advanced life-form. It had not only altered their anaerobic genes, but could also let them enter "time bubbles," unaffected by spacetime corrections.
Modifying genes, controlling time, existing beyond causality?
This time, that thing had probably come.
The Green-skinned People's starship was no longer a helplessly weak opponent.
Liu Di did not move, still standing alone and gazing up at the heavens.
There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, but it was not fear.
It was the inability to probe the unknown.
Gradually, Liu Di's right eye grew brighter. Ant or dust, it made no difference—fearlessness was his nature!
Suddenly.
Magic Child detected a faint signal.
It went from intermittent to gradually clear.
It came from a Steel Di Qi.
Liu Di had once released the Green-skinned People's commander and planted a Steel Di Qi aboard the warship they escaped in, intending to cast a long line for a big catch.
At the time, Liu Di had still been troubled by the High-Dimensional Virus. Holding onto a sliver of hope, he wanted to see whether the life-form behind the Green-skinned People had a way to solve the "virus."
But as that Di Qi followed the Green-skinned People's warship deeper into the universe, its signal was lost.

Now, it had returned as well.
As it drew nearer and nearer to Earth, it reconnected with Magic Child.
Data suddenly flooded in.
Through Steel Di Qi's perspective.
Liu Di saw that ship enter the universe, complete multiple spatial jumps, and finally arrive at a planet that was half dim and half
