Purple light flickered in Liu Di's right eye.
As the sixth sequence of Strong Artificial Intelligence, Magic Child's terrifying computational power erupted in an instant. All eight thousand ji Nanobots received the signal simultaneously. In the midst of their feast, they raised their heads, beat their wings, formed a black cyclone, and plunged headlong into a wormhole!
No one knew.
The wormholes within Liu Di's Time Halberd had already formed a vast, interconnected web throughout the entire Solar System.
Eight thousand ji Nanobots flew through one of the wormholes toward another planet.
