This child still had some black substance on her body, as if she had run off to play while Xia Chujian was asleep and gotten herself all dirty.
Xia Chujian said nothing and, calm and collected, helped the little one clean the black substance off her body.
The tiny chubby figure's soft body was truly no different from that of a human child...
As Xia Chujian marveled at nature's wonders, she waited quietly.
Before long, the little one woke up.
She rubbed her eyes with her chubby little hands, yawned, then tilted her head to look at Xia Chujian.

There was no day or night here. Only the light emitted by those crystals served as illumination.
Xia Chujian's waking and sleeping followed nothing more than her body's natural clock.
She could only use the Quantum Optical Brain Wristwatch Carrier to determine how long she had been here.
Previously, she had been completely unconscious for fourteen days.
She did not believe fourteen normal days had actually passed, because if they had, she would have starved to death long ago.
No Carbon-Based Lifeform could survive that many days without food or water.
Gene Evolvers were an exception, of course, since they were no longer Carbon-Based Lifeforms in the ordinary sense.
But Xia Chujian knew that she was not a Gene Evolver.
Therefore, Xia Chujian was inclined to believe that the "Gate of the Gods" she had passed through was probably somewhat unusual.
Like a Wormhole, it could shorten distances in space.
That "Gate of the Gods" might not have been a simple Wormhole. It seemed to involve certain rules of time as well.
Based on her limited knowledge of physics, she knew that speed and time were
