His soul lost consciousness and became increasingly pure. The energy contained in the Great Luo True Soul was extremely vast, floating above Xiang Yu's sea of consciousness like mist, rain, and wind.
The wind was blowing towards Xiang Yu's mouth, where he was still fighting in his dream, but that did not prevent him from receiving this unexpected joy.
In fact, the Shadow System could also assist Xiang Yu in splitting his soul to do this. The reason it was sent to the main body was because Hao Jiu wanted to play it safe. After all, this was a Great Luo True Soul, and it would definitely take more energy for the Shadow System to kill Qi Mozi.
As time went by, Xiang Yu absorbed all the purified Qimozi's divine soul energy. Combined with his previous accumulation, Xiang Yu achieved the Great Luo True Soul in his sleep.
Meanwhile, Xiang Yu's avatar in the celestial realm had already cleaned up the battlefield and embarked on a journey of wandering with Yu Ji.
Although Chimoko's wealth is truly astonishing, now is not the time to be happy.
The moment Qimozi died, a giant hand appeared in the sky. It was none other than the Time Dao Ancestor Gu Huojin, who was making a move from afar, intending to personally kill Xiang Yu and Yu Ji.
You should know that after becoming a Dao Ancestor, every time you use the power of the Dao Ancestor realm, you will be devoured and assimilated by the Heavenly Dao at an accelerated rate. This is how Gu Huojin's two legs became useless. Otherwise, how could the strongest being in the Immortal Realm be disabled?
After this attack, the part of the ancient or modern world that was devoured by the Heavenly Dao expanded upwards by at least half an inch, getting closer to that indescribable part.
Honestly, whether it's ancient or modern times, sending Qimozi directly to kill Yu Ji, who was cultivating the Great Five Elements Illusionary World Technique, was already a foolproof plan.
As a result, Qimozi died very quickly, which really startled Gu Huojin. The fact that Qimozi, who was at the Great Luo Realm, could kill him meant that his strength was already a threat to his position as Dao Lord.
It should be known that each of the three thousand Great Daos can only have one Dao Ancestor, and those who cultivate the same law are enemies.
One of the reasons why Gu Huojin destroyed the True Word Sect was because he feared that Ancestor Mi Luo would take another step and become a half-step Dao Ancestor.
The True Word Sect's ultimate technique, the Great Five Elements Illusionary World Technique, is too powerful. Even with his late-stage Great Luo strength, the Mi Luo Ancestor who cultivated this technique could contend with an ordinary Dao Ancestor.
If Gu Huojin were to truly achieve the status of a half-step Dao Ancestor, even if he could kill Ancestor Mi Luo, it would come at a huge cost. Moreover, Gu Huojin has other enemies, and if they join forces, it wouldn't be impossible for them to turn the tables on him.
However, it's not something you can just kill at will. Sending someone else to fight them wouldn't work, and if Gu Huojin went himself, he wouldn't have a legitimate reason to do so. After all, the True Word Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect, and as the ruler of the Immortal Realm, he has to consider his reputation.
Of course, the main reason was that Gu Huojin consulted the prophetic ancestor and knew that there would be an opportunity to get rid of the Mi Luo Ancestor in the future. Otherwise, he would have already risked his reputation to kill the Mi Luo Ancestor.
This opportunity arose when the Lord of Samsara went to talk to Ancestor Miro, which was happened to be seen by Qimozi.
It should be noted that the Samsara Palace is a secret organization similar to a rebel army in the immortal realm, and the Lord of the Samsara Palace is the most wanted criminal in the immortal court.
Therefore, this rebellious Qimozi reported the news of the meeting between the Lord of Samsara Palace and the Ancestor Miro to the Celestial Court. Gu Huojin took this opportunity to kill the Ancestor Miro in one fell swoop and destroy the True Word Sect.
Qimozi made great contributions and was appointed as a star official, in charge of the celestial prison.
Over the years, Qimozi has secretly done a lot of shady things for Gu Huojin, but this time he ran into a brick wall. This great traitor of the Zhenyan Sect received his due punishment ten thousand years ahead of schedule.
However, Qimozi is just a bait or a litmus test. Gu Huojin is already prepared to take action himself after Qimozi is eliminated.
Unfortunately, Gu Huojin underestimated Xiang Yu and Yu Ji. One of them comprehended the laws of space, and the other comprehended the laws of time. With the help of a cheat, they teleported away in an instant.
Whether in ancient or modern times, the best approach is to launch a long-range attack. It would be unwise to directly confront his Time Handprint. The best strategy is to retreat and wear him down.
Just as Xiang Yu and Yu Ji were dealing with Gu Huojin in the celestial realm, the mini Xiang Yu, who was traveling to Laa Star in the universe aboard the Laa 945 spaceship, finally arrived at the star system where Laa Star is located.
However, a piece of paper arrived at Laa Star first.
Then, Laa Star instantly became as thin as a piece of paper, and from this center, it expanded outwards, extending throughout the entire galaxy, and encountered the spaceship that Xiang Yu was riding.
puff!
The spaceship was also turned into pieces of paper, and the two men inside, Da Xiaoqiang and Xiang Yu, were all compressed into thin pieces.
This is a weapon of cosmic law in the universe, a two-dimensional foil that can turn three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane.
Only now did Hao Jiu realize that the dimension in which the Ant-Man world was located was actually...
The Three-Body Problem!
Chapter 572 A False Alarm
Two-dimensional foils can reduce the three-dimensional world to two dimensions; this dimensional reduction attack seems to be the most powerful black technology weapon in the novel "The Three-Body Problem".
However, in the eyes of advanced interstellar civilizations, two-dimensional foils are merely tools used to eliminate weaker civilizations, and are not much different from humans casually spraying insecticides to kill insects.
Only those of comparable strength, who can at least pose some threat, can be considered opponents or enemies. In the eyes of advanced interstellar civilizations, low- and medium-level interstellar civilizations are no different from ants.
Do we need nuclear bombs to exterminate ants?
Obviously not, insecticide is sufficient.
Ants cannot adapt to the environment of pesticides and perish; life in the three-dimensional world cannot adapt to the two-dimensional environment and will also perish.
For the highly intelligent Xiao Qiang from Laa Star, dying from the 'insecticide' was indeed not unjust, as they conquered civilized planets one after another, constantly expanding and improving their technological strength.
Finally, Laa Star attracted the attention of a low-level cosmic matter cleaner from an advanced interstellar civilization, who casually tossed over a two-dimensional foil.
However, Xiang Yu, who was originally going to exterminate the insects by spaceship, was innocently caught in the crossfire.
Space twisted and collapsed, becoming a thin sheet, or more accurately, without any thickness.
The saying "When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up" is true, but whether they can actually hold it up is another matter. It's true that the tall ones were the first to be crushed when the mini-Xiang Yu was crushed.
At the critical moment, Xiang Yu activated all his protective items, swallowed several mid-level healing pills, and teleported to the top of the space that had been transformed into a two-dimensional plane.
However, spatial collapse is omnidirectional, not just in the direction of planar extension.
puff……
Xiang Yu was instantly sucked into that plane, and his body became as thin as a cicada's wing, losing the sense of a three-dimensional entity. However, unlike those planets, spaceships, and creatures that were flattened and deformed by space, Xiang Yu only looked like a photograph. The proportions of his body parts did not change. In other words, from a two-dimensional plane, he still looked like a human.
At this moment, Hao Jiu finally understood how so-called advanced interstellar civilizations lived in a two-dimensional world.
Because when you're in it, the two-dimensional world is the same as the three-dimensional world; there's no difference.
Only by stepping out of the two-dimensional world can we discover the differences. The two-dimensional world is a surface without thickness, on which there are some patterns, like photographs or sketches.
Of course, the real challenge is not surviving in a two-dimensional world, but rather ensuring that you don't get crushed when you move from three-dimensional space to two-dimensional space.
As long as one is tough enough or has the ability to recover, and survives the time of spatial collapse, one can enter the two-dimensional world intact.
Therefore, advanced interstellar civilizations capable of traversing both three-dimensional and two-dimensional worlds must either possess containers like invincible spaceships that never deform, thus protecting the life within.
Either it has no physical body and is merely a soul, in which case no amount of physical compression will work.
Either their vitality is extremely strong, their physical body is indestructible, or they can survive being crushed into thin slices. Xiang Yu's clone can only be considered the latter at present. The original body has not been tested, so it is too early to draw a conclusion.
At this moment, in the two-dimensional space, Xiang Yu stretched his limbs. The resurrection armor had just come into play, allowing him to survive the dimensional reduction attack.
However, because the two-dimensional space has not yet stabilized, the world in front of us is changing little by little. The spaceship and the surrounding planets, including the creatures inside the spaceship, are gradually returning to their original state from their thin sheet state.
However, the damage caused by the spatial collapse will not change. There are faint lights around the spaceship, which means that even the explosion has been two-dimensionalized. Once the space stabilizes, the explosion will continue.
Pressing a piece of metal into a thin sheet and then restoring it to its original shape won't make much difference, but the difference between a living organism before and after restoration is huge. The body will rupture, bodily fluids will splatter, and death will be inevitable.
Despite their tenacious vitality, the vast and powerful galaxies could not withstand the damage of spatial collapse, and none of them survived.
Xiang Yu naturally didn't care about the life or death of the creatures on Laa Star, but his purpose for this trip, besides annihilating the disgusting creatures on Laa Star, was to find a ready-made antidote to completely solve the problem of the Ant-Man dimension shrinking.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. With the intervention of an advanced interstellar civilization, the Laa Star System was destroyed, and the stored antidote is probably no longer available, and the relevant research data is unlikely to be preserved.
"God of Wine, are we still going to their planet?" Xiang Yu frowned. The planet not far ahead had changed from a thin sheet to an ellipse, but it was clearly different from the original planet.
"Let's go take a look. It shouldn't be too far. But we have to hurry. The Ant-Man world's galaxy might be affected too. Who knows how much of the universe this two-dimensional foil can impact?"
Hao Jiu remembered that the two-dimensional foil's effective range should be an entire galaxy, but it was hard to say exactly how big the galaxy was. Ant-Man Planet wasn't really that far from here.
"Alright." Xiang Yu didn't say much more, and teleported towards Planet Laa in quick succession, his speed was not slow either.
Soon after, a huge, elliptical planet appeared before Xiang Yu's eyes.
The planet was deathly silent, with debris from the surrounding space constantly flying towards it, only to burn up completely as it passed through the atmosphere.
The remnants of the civilization left behind very little information. Laa Star naturally had things similar to computers and hard drives, but they were all destroyed during the spatial collapse.
However, Hao Jiu still managed to find useful information; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Xiang Yu on this trip.
"Let's begin. Fortunately, the God's Shop works in two-dimensional space as well." Hao Jiu smiled slightly and handed Xiang Yu a spherical object.
Xiang Yu held the sphere and began to teleport around the planet. In his vision, countless strange souls were sucked into the sphere.
With these souls, it is possible to obtain some useful information.
Of course, it doesn't matter if we don't get any information about the antidote in the end. There were some finished antidotes on that spaceship before, which were sent to the Soul Technology Plane and the Gulu Plane for research. It just takes a little more time.
The extinction of all life on a planet leaves behind countless souls, which are exactly the raw materials needed for soul technology, making good use of waste.
After collecting almost all the souls of the entire planet, Xiang Yu dug a cave on the planet, placed a time portal inside, and returned to Ant-Man Planet through this time portal.
Fortunately, the time portal itself was a piece of advanced technology, and Xiang Yu did not encounter any further danger during his flight from the two-dimensional world to the three-dimensional world.
Fortunately, the space collapse did not ultimately affect Ant-Man Planet, allowing the Ant-Men, who were preparing for their great migration, to remain in their home planet.
Just then, Hao Jiu's eyes lit up. "Hey, Feather God, I suddenly remembered something. Let's go back to the two-dimensional world right away. I want to do an experiment!"
Chapter 573 One Piece
Xiang Yu was no longer surprised by Hao Jiu's novel ideas; of course, it was also possible that he just wanted to go back and plunder some resources.
To be on the safe side, when Xiang Yu returned to the two-dimensional world from three-dimensional space, he still kept all his defenses fully activated.
However, this time it was obviously an overreaction. After being transported through the time portal, there was nothing wrong with his body, and he was not harmed in any way.
It has to be said that after so many years of conquering and plundering, Planet Laa has accumulated a wealth of resources. Its warehouses are full of rare metals and materials, so why not take them?
Hao Jiu said after seeing that the resources had been almost completely plundered, "Yu Shen, we've been trying to find the dimension of One Piece, but we haven't been able to. I can now guess why."
Xiang Yu suddenly realized, "Could it be related to this two-dimensional world?"
Hao Jiu smiled slightly, "That's right. Without a time portal, you can't teleport from the three-dimensional world to the two-dimensional world using random time travel items because your body can't adapt to two-dimensional space. Teleporting directly in is no different from encountering a spatial collapse. But if we teleport from the two-dimensional world, we won't have this problem."
"Excellent! When will the God of Wine send it?" Xiang Yu clapped his hands and laughed.
The world that Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu most wanted to go to has always been the One Piece world.
There's no other reason than to get the Door-Door Fruit card.
The Door-Door Fruit's alternate dimension is a valuable item that money can't buy, but unfortunately, there's only one card available.
If we could find the One Piece world and Bruno, the owner of the Door-Door Fruit, we could mass-produce cards with extradimensional space, since they're so cheap anyway.
"Hehe, let's get right to it." As Hao Jiu spoke, he had already opened ten random teleportation channels around him, throwing a shadow system into each channel.
A moment later, feedback came in, confirming that a two-dimensional plane had indeed been discovered within it. The Shadow System saw a beautiful woman digging a pit to bury someone and successfully bound itself to her.
