Male God of Beauty
The first wave of primordial soup was unlike all the subsequent waves.
Because it had been born during the Big Bang.
The universe's first species had also evolved during this process.
Among them were quite a few figures who would later become famous throughout the universe, such as the Ancient Machinery Elder and certain seventh- and eighth-tier carbon-based leaders.
Although Gao Gong was skeptical of this "urban legend"—after all, how could the primordial soup of carbon-based species evolve mechanical life as well?
Yet he couldn't deny that he had indeed sensed something unusual.
His perception was rising dimensionally.
Three-dimensional space became transparent—he could "see through" the insides of objects, not with X-rays, but by perceiving their projections across all dimensions. Spatial walls were no longer obstacles in his eyes, but "planes unfolded in this dimension." He could easily find dimensional shortcuts around them.
Time became tangible—not in the sense of traveling through it, but of perceiving its texture.
The past was solidified crystal, the future was branching tree limbs, and the present was flowing sand. He could reach out and "touch" the echoes of past events. Although he could not change them, he could feel their vibrations.
"Is this what the spacetime bloodline feels like? No, it's different. This feeling is more like an evolved 'cosmic perspective.'"
Spacetime was still there. The universe was still expanding, gravity was still bending spacetime, and the speed of light remained unchanged. None of that had changed.
What had changed was the way Gao Gong perceived them.
Previously, like all life-forms, he had been trapped within the "spacetime coordinate system"—measuring everything with time and space and understanding events through chains of causality. It was the default operating system the universe had granted life: efficient, stable, but limited.
Now, the Primordial
