Welt Yang didn't hide anything from Herta's questions, but instead told them about some things in the Sea of Quanta, such as Quantum Phantoms and lost creatures.

These things appear and disappear suddenly, and these are things to be wary of. After saying this, Welt Yang suddenly said with a serious expression, "And then there are high-latitude observers!"

He thought of Flame-Chasers, who was observing everywhere in the Sea of Quanta. Although he only knew about Ying Jie, there might be others as well.

"Does the so-called dimensional observer refer to someone who is constantly observing from inside? If so, then there's no need to be wary. After all, if the other party could do anything, they wouldn't just be observing," Lygus said at this moment.

He didn't take this so-called high-latitude observer seriously at all. In his eyes, this person was probably just someone who could watch but not participate, so what was there to worry about?

After Lygus said that, Welt Yang suddenly felt it made a lot of sense; it seemed that these high-latitude observers were really like that?

If it were actually playable, who would just watch?

It's like if you could pull your anime waifu out of the screen, would you just stare at it? Welt Yang has reason to suspect that people sitting in front of their screens would all rush to pull out their favorite waifus and...

"Quantum Phantoms, what kind of creature is that?" Ruan Mei was quite interested in the Quantum Phantoms that Welt Yang mentioned. Was it a creature that lived in the Sea of Quanta?

Welt Yang shook his head, saying somewhat helplessly, "I'm not sure what kind of creature it is, because killing them will cause them to dissipate immediately, so studying them might be a bit difficult."

These words immediately piqued Ruan Mei's interest in those Quantum Phantoms. She thought to herself, "If I get the chance, I'll definitely study them properly!" With that thought in mind, Ruan Mei made her decision: she would definitely do her research when the time came.

"Should we go straight in?" Li Yu looked at the Sea of Quanta before him, then immediately turned to look at Herta and the others.

Hearing Li Yu's words, Herta nodded. Looking at the situation inside, Herta said directly, "Since there's no great danger, we should naturally go and take a look. Besides, the door is already open, so I'm not afraid of getting lost. You must have some tricks up your sleeve, right?"

After speaking, Herta looked at Li Yu. Now that the decision had been made, what was there to hesitate about? Of course, she should go in and take a look. They had already come this far; how could she possibly refuse to go in?

"Then I'll stay here and watch the passage so everyone can come back immediately if there are any problems." Seeing this, Screwllum slowly spoke up. Once La Signora Herta had made up her mind, not even ten oxen could change it.

After discussing it for a while, the group decided that Li Yu, Herta, Ruan Mei, and Lygus would enter the Sea of Quanta together. Once they confirmed that there were no major problems, they would return as soon as possible.

Having agreed on these matters, Li Yu didn't hesitate any longer. He signaled Herta and the others to follow, and then stepped directly into the Sea of Quanta.

The moment Li Yu stepped through the passage, he found himself seemingly submerged in water, surrounded by a vast expanse of blue, though he could occasionally glimpse illusory figures.

Herta and the others also stepped into this place. When they were immersed in the Sea of Quanta, they immediately discovered that their life paths had been directly severed, and the only power they could use was the power within their bodies.

In this Sea of Quanta, the only power one can utilize is the portion generated within one's own body. The moment Herta stepped into this place, he understood why Li Yu had previously had her learn True Magic.

"What an incredible place! There are so many experiments that can be done here. The Aeons's claws can't reach here!" She said, her voice filled with excitement.

She's not exactly a peaceful person. You know, all those experiments she did before always inexplicably failed at the last step. It's obvious someone was sabotaging her, but she won't say who. It's incredibly annoying!

Here, she seemed to be able to conduct her experiments without restraint. Thinking of this, Herta excitedly took out a True Magic from her hand, and with a casual wave of her hand, the True Magic transformed into countless tiny nanobots that began to recombine.

Before long, a floor appeared beneath Li Yu and the others' feet, and then a small hut was slowly created by the Herta.

She built a small laboratory directly above the Sea of Quanta. After doing all this, the Herta summoned a series of Little Herta. Once these little guys were online, she began to put various tools into the laboratory.

Seeing Herta's move, no one was too surprised. After all, these were just nanobots, something many people could do, and even Lygus had helped out.

In just a few minutes, a base was erected in the Sea of Quanta. These people had already made this place their territory. Li Yu was amused by their actions, but he didn't say anything.

After the laboratory was set up, everyone went inside. Herta started tinkering around, and looking at the Sea of Quanta before him, Li Yu suddenly said, "Let's bring Abant in later, and the Astral Express too."

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Herta stopped what he was doing and asked with some surprise, "Do you want the Astral Express to lay Star Rail here?"

Li Yu nodded, looking at the Sea of Quanta outside, and then voiced his thoughts. "The base you built here will probably be attacked soon. Those Quantum Phantoms won't let something like this go!"

As soon as Li Yu stepped into this place, he saw those things. The Herta was still building such a base right here. If they weren't attacked, Li Yu would be ashamed.

Just as Li Yu finished speaking, a sudden noise came from outside. The house that the Herta had spent several minutes building was then attacked, but it was not breached due to its sturdy exterior.

Moreover, everyone astutely noticed that Herta's base was being eaten away. Upon discovering this, Herta was immediately displeased. What on earth were those guys doing?

"Like scavengers? They seem to be maintaining the Sea of Quanta." Ruan Mei looked at the situation outside, her interest growing even stronger. Moreover, those Quantum Phantoms were all composed of mimicry life forms.

"We're like unprocessed information that stepped into this place, so we've been targeted!" Lygus spoke up at this moment, having now roughly figured out what the Sea of Quanta was all about.

This is an ocean of information; a vast amount of information is constantly passing before their eyes, and this information comes from different worlds. They will need some time to analyze it.

"Damn it, looks like we have to stop!" Herta said, then packed up his things. What a waste of time! Why didn't Li Yu tell her sooner?

As she operated, the newly built base instantly vanished, and Herta immediately noticed that some of her nanobots were malfunctioning. She hurriedly transformed these nanobots into the shape of a staff.

However, the staff became pitted and uneven, as if it had been in disrepair for a long time, which infuriated the Herta. It was obvious without even thinking that it was the work of those Quantum Phantoms.

The disappearance of the base directly exposed Li Yu and the others to the Quantum Phantoms. Looking at those Quantum Phantoms, Li Yu locked onto Quantum Phantoms and then released the Piercing Magic Bullet.

The Piercing Magic Bullet Li Yu fired shot out and accurately hit one of the Quantum Phantoms. As soon as it hit, the Quantum Phantoms seemed to have encountered a network error, and after a flash, it turned into light and disappeared on the spot.

"No life form characteristics detected, similar to a data life form!" Lygus looked at the vanished Quantum Phantoms, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

It was very familiar with this thing, after all, it had created it itself, just like the others from Amphoreus. At this moment, the Herta also launched an attack.

However, she didn't use True Magic; instead, she used the power of fate. With her attack, those guys only flickered briefly before going silent, then pounced on the Herta like madmen.

"Imaginary Energy can't harm them; it seems only True Magic can do the trick." Herta frowned, then raised his staff, and an ice-blue Magic Array appeared.

Ice spikes shot out, instantly covering the Quantum Phantoms rushing towards her. As expected, these guys shattered upon contact, just like Li Yu's attack just now; they vanished into light after only one hit.

"Tsk tsk, the effect is really obvious. It seems you've gone to great lengths to develop something to deal with Quantum Phantoms." Herta looked at the easily defeated Quantum Phantoms, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Comparing the effects of his attack with the power of destiny, he realized that these guys were clearly countered by True Magic, True Magic was like a natural enemy to them. While the power of destiny could also be used to attack, it was not very effective.

To use a game analogy, this thing's life resistance is almost maxed out. Although her attack just now wasn't very strong, it wasn't weak either, about the same energy as one of Li Yu's magic bullets.

However, the damage resulted in two different outcomes, which inevitably makes one curious about those beings. If there were even stronger Quantum Phantoms, even Aeons would probably be in trouble, right?

"Actually, you can also go up and fight me hand-to-hand." Li Yu listened to Herta's words, a smile flashing in his eyes. The damage that True Magic could cause did indeed surprise Li Yu.

"Hmph, that's so unladylike. Let's go back first. We need a base to conduct our research. If it's the Astral Express or your Abant, getting in here shouldn't be a problem." Herta wouldn't do something like that.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the passage. Now that she knew some of the details, the next step was easier: build a larger passage so that the Astral Express or Abant could pass through. Only in this way could research be carried out inside.

Seeing this, the others didn't say anything, but followed him back into the passage. Li Yu's search for Asuna also needed to be put on the agenda, and the arrival of the Astral Express in Teyvat was just around the corner!
