"Hey... friend~"
"You look so lonely~"
"The Sea of Stars is so vast and boundless... why are you all alone out here~"
As the exploration of dimensions and Space-Time Convergence proceeded, the tavern where Zhou Heng had been sitting was stretched infinitely.
The table became a thin line extending ten thousand light-years... the chair became a needle-like structure suspended in the void... the walls became transparent membranes as thin as cicada wings...
Finally, the entire tavern, together with the Administrative Planet it stood on, completely merged into "Swallow Whole Microcosmic Manifestation Long River," the Tenth Chapter of the Fourth Expansion in the Eleventh Dimension.
As a result, Zhou Heng's location shifted directly from a tavern seat to the deep vacuum of the Sea of Stars.
He remained seated there in the void, surrounded by endless darkness and starlight, like a tiny sculpture forgotten in a corner of the universe.
At that moment, directly in front of Zhou Heng, a whale roughly one light-year in size was staring at him with wide, round eyes, studying him with great curiosity.
The whale was azure all over, with tiny flecks of starlike radiance flowing across its scales. Its big, round eyes were filled with childlike innocence and curiosity.
It tilted its enormous head slightly, its tail fin swaying slowly in the void, looking just like a child who had found a beautiful seashell on the beach.
"Me... I was feeling a little bored... so I just went with the flow~"
Zhou Heng answered the rather dim-looking whale with a soft chuckle.
As he spoke, he grasped the "Boundless Microcosmic Concept Eternity Long Heaven and Earth Sword" at his waist.
The instant he touched it, the sword automatically manifested behind him, becoming a dazzling, glorious phantom of sword light that emitted silvery-white divine radiance
