The Phase Engine twisted the spacetime structure around the ship. A hyperspace bubble formed from warped space enveloped the tower-like Otherworld Inn. Information from the real universe compressed into a complete two-dimensional film along the edge of warped space. On this thin "membrane," the mysteries of the stars flowed like water, flooding Yu Sheng's perception and mind.
His spirit remained perfectly synchronized with the ship as it traveled faster than light. It was a state no one but him could understand or imagine—and precisely because of that, no one had been able to warn him before today that directly touching hyperspace with a "human" mind was an extremely dangerous act.
Under normal circumstances, anyone traveling faster than light would be inside a heavily protected vehicle. While creating warped space, the Phase Engine also generated a special force field to keep the hull intact. Another function of that field was to prevent the crew's minds from contacting the environment outside the ship. The universe in a state of "complete mapping" was simply too dangerous. Every ray of starlight mapped onto the edge of the space bubble carried enough informational density to drive someone insane. Even an accidental glance would cause a mortal mind to melt instantly beneath the whispers and flickering of the stars.
But who could have imagined it? A person's mind could transfer into a spaceship without obstruction, and could even regard the entire ship as their own "body"...
Yu Sheng "looked" curiously at the starlight flowing around him. It filled spacetime like a colossal river with neither beginning nor end. At that moment, his perception of his "body" suddenly grew extremely vague. Whether it was the Otherworld Inn making the jump or the physical body sitting on the bridge of the Otherworld Inn, both seemed to become abstract
