"Then I'll wait for it here."
"By yourself?"
"No." Lin Ye shook his head. "I need volunteers."
"Volunteers from different dimensions. Preferably with representatives from every dimension."
"That way, we can observe its reactions from different perspectives."
Hundreds of flickering consciousness waves answered him.
Explorers from the third dimension, time travelers from the fourth, observers from the fifth.
