"According to the current state of the game, the Dimension Train has completed the process of crossing dimensions while shuttling through different spaces. However, the game has imposed a technological blockade on regions, so the only dimension-crossing we can access is the process of riding the train."

Nie Xuan said, "Anything else we can see is actually based on our original dimension; time travel, past retrospection, similar parallel universes—none of these can be realized."

"Lawrence Lee’s space evolution super-dimension is about constructing new spaces within the existing space, which is why his spatial rays can spread and release new spatial powers, something general Evolvers cannot achieve."

"Your issue isn’t just about the accumulation of general spatial powers; a peculiar spatial body should be forming within."

Xu Huo just learned about spatial bodies, but the power multiplied indeed exceeds the level that ordinary space-directed evolution could achieve, and he has only just begun exploring. The spatial body within the Water Rubik’s Cube must be more complex.

Like Lawrence Lee, he structured new spaces, so within the spatial body of the Water Rubik’s Cube, these might stack spatial bodies, or it itself might be an independent space. Unlike usual spaces, it can undergo changes.

"Can’t Lawrence Lee solve this problem?"

"It’s hard to say if he can solve it, but he would definitely be very interested," Nie Xuan said. "One-third of the game’s ground and the Water Rubik’s Cube may be super-dimensional products in the Rank-A Wormhole Point. It might also be an instrument crafted by a game developer, attracting any Super Player’s interest."

"That’s the troublesome part," Xu Huo said. "I just want to solve this issue and not become a guinea pig."

"You can try to find a channel to order a Super Instrument from a Rank-A Wormhole Point," Nie Xuan suggested. "Currently, Zone 014 doesn’t have that channel, but you can try offering a reward."

Super Instruments, like Super Props, are rare items; even if there’s a place for wholesale, they would never leak out. And finding something specifically designed to destroy Spatial Instruments, like the ’Sealing Door,’ which is comparable to a Super Instrument, only caused ripples within the Water Rubik’s Cube.

It won’t be easy to overcome it with similar tools.

"Never tried Time Force?" Nie Xuan then asked. "You just returned, and the news about Temporal Evolution has spread."

Though he previously learned of Xu’s initiation into temporal evolution within Carmen Field’s Chaotic Space, it was remarkable how the evolution accelerated to allow murder using Time Force.

Moreover, it’s unmatched in Zone 014.

"The Water Rubik’s Cube is attached to me; do you think I’d dare?" Xu Huo raised his rod, reeling in a fish. "I fear if I turned to ashes, it still wouldn’t disappear."

Nie Xuan’s hand grabbed the fish behind him, tossing it into a nearby bucket, comforting: "That’s not entirely a bad thing."

"It’s not easy to break; if you can use it, its effects might even surpass Super Props. Such level of protection could withstand even a dimensional storm’s problem."

"Furthermore, it’s an alternative spatial body, an available template right before you; maybe over time, it can continue spatial evolution."

This time, Xu Huo truly felt what is meant by a blessing mixed with misfortune—true defensive strength, yet accompanied by many inconveniences. More critically, it is a consequence of losing ’future’ in the One-Third Game. With the passing time, unpredictable changes could occur, muddling up memory is one thing, but risking life is quite another.

"I’ll keep an eye on the game you mentioned," Nie Xuan said. "I’ve only had a chance encounter with Lawrence Lee, no firm communication channels, so I can’t assist you in this matter."

Xu waved his hand, "Use your spatial evolution power to try it?"

Nie Xuan activated the spatial ray as directed; his evolution origin differs, so the blade formed by spatial rays is distinctly unusual, seemingly fixed in shape and highly stable.

The space blade collided with the space barrier without any reaction. Nie Xuan pushed it forward hard, but the barrier remained unmoved, while his spatial power was squeezed and shattered.

Seeing this, neither spoke.

After catching another fish, Xu Huo spoke: "Can you cook fish?"

"This fish isn’t tasty," Nie Xuan emphasized, "and it’s toxic, or it wouldn’t swim to the shore."

"Then we should definitely try it," Xu Huo chuckled.

"I’ll get the pot," Nie Xuan went off without further persuasion, returning not only with a pot but some other ingredients too, pouring two bottles of antitoxin before adding water.

While the fish cooked, they conversed about the Special Defense Department’s current situation.

Nie Xuan lamented the previous multiple evolutions, "The gains were scarce."

Originally, when Xu Huo led the way, a few there afterwards felt something, but it was hazy and unclear; didn’t even make it to the threshold. As time prolonged, that feeling faded away.

Moreover, both domestically and abroad, those claiming to initiate temporal evolution became silent, with the ’supposed’ Time Evolvers later confirmed not to be.

"Currently recorded, you’re the only confirmed Time Evolver in Zone 014."

"Is temporal evolution easily confused?" Xu Huo inserted, "Why were Evoverers mistaken as Time Evolvers?"

"Someone knowledgeable may easily differentiate, but those unfamiliar lack a clear impression," Nie Xuan pulled out a can of beer, "just like someone never taught what letters are, guessing without boundaries."

"Time-directed Evolvers are rare in the game, with scarce information released. The elusive chase itself excites, even if they’re not, they strive towards it."

"I had only a vague feeling in the ruins, ultimately gaining little," Nie Xuan poured him a cup of wine, "Do you have any experience to share?"

"Try donning Time Items," Xu Huo recommended; he wouldn’t admit being innately gifted, but his biggest difference from other players might be acquiring the Time-related Super Item ’Three Seconds of a Lifetime’ early on, experienced combat at Carmen Field Battle Ruins, the Time Yard in Zone 011, Dr. Wu’s Pumpkin City, and then the One-Third Game.

In truth, he only truly reached the threshold at Carmen Field Battle Ruins, unclear how much influence Time Items had throughout this journey.

"Time Items aren’t easy to find," Nie Xuan noted, "whether the military or the Special Defense Department, they’ve exerted full effort."

"Simple, I happen to be free these days, I’ll lend you the Time Tower," Xu Huo clinked glasses with him.
