That region lay somewhere between "definite" and "vague."
It could preserve certain traits of the Interdimensional Shadow while allowing it to communicate with the other participants.
"Come." Lin Ye extended an invitation to the Interdimensional Shadow.
The Interdimensional Shadow hesitated for a moment, then began to move.
It slowly approached that special region and made contact with it cautiously.
The instant contact was made, the entire network shuddered.
A completely new mode of existence had been incorporated into the system.
Every participant felt that strange ripple.
"What is this...?"
"What a peculiar sensation..."
"It feels as though existence and nonexistence are overlapping at once..."
The Interdimensional Shadow had successfully connected to the network.
But its mode of existence was entirely different from that of the other nodes.
The other nodes were distinct points, while it was a hazy cloud.
The other nodes had clear boundaries, while its boundaries constantly shifted.
Yet this strange node brought entirely new possibilities to the whole network.
Guanlan's presence trembled. "This method of connection... has opened a new dimension..."
"Not some numbered dimension, but an 'Interdimension'..."
"It allows us to perceive spaces that were originally beyond our senses..."
Xu Chi grew excited as well. "I can feel it! Between the timelines, there are countless 'gaps'!"
"There is energy in those gaps, information, perhaps even life!"
"We had completely overlooked this layer before!"
Wu Wu was even more direct. "I understand."
"A complete universe is not merely a stack of dimensions. It also includes the gaps between dimensions."
"We have always looked at what was definite, while overlooking what was vague."
"But vague things are just as real, just as important."
Lin Ye recovered from his blurred state.
The process had drained a great deal of his energy, but he knew it had been worth it.
