Chapter 307
On the side of the Star Alliance, whether it was the armed forces of the space station or ordinary interstellar citizens, faced with the increasingly chaotic scene, those who could escape had already fled the galaxy in a frenzy. Those bound by duty or unable to flee under the immense pressure of multiple A-level psychic outbursts were doing their utmost to minimize their presence, hoping not to attract attention.
"Kill the stowaways! Then any wish can be fulfilled!"
The most frenzied group of Star Church bishops had become fearless of death, having reached the limits of their souls. They had only a few years left to live, and before them lay their only opportunity.
With an array of long-range star technology, physical combat, and psychic secret techniques, the members of the Star Church unleashed their myriad methods, all directed toward Ye Bai, intent on overwhelming her.
"Boom..."
As they approached Ye Bai within a kilometer, all attacks suddenly halted. Whether it was technological weapons, energy assaults, or personal attacks, everything centered around Ye Bai's figure seemed to freeze in time, suspended in the vastness of space.
"Time is standing still..." The only A-level psychic near Blue Star hesitated, unable to contain her astonishment at the sight. But in the next moment, she dismissed her previous assumption: "No, it’s not just space standing still; it’s time!"
After reclaiming her identity as the God King, Ye Bai's time-manipulating abilities had been elevated, including her mastery of "Bullet Time."
This ability to freeze the time of her enemies was named by Ye Bai as "Time-Space Domain."
In this Time-Space Domain, akin to the domains used in legendary magic, any attack from her enemies would be significantly slowed down, approaching a state of near-stasis.
The space station forces of the Star Alliance had not received evacuation orders and were using the station's technological equipment to observe the battlefield.
Through high-magnification cameras, they quickly realized that this seemingly frozen scene was actually a result of the approaching individuals moving at millions of times slower than normal.
"The time in that area is speeding up. It was previously slowed down by five million times, and now it’s down to three hundred..."
The information relayed by the physical observation equipment made the space station commander’s expression grave. Compared to the abruptly appearing, clearly organized members of the Star Church, they hoped to see Ye Bai gain the upper hand from a position of power.
The gradually increasing speed of the slowdown effect in the Time-Space Domain was due to the growing number of attacks, which placed a heavier burden on Ye Bai, as she channeled more of her power to draw in the myriad worlds.
Yet even at this moment, Ye Bai remained composed, focused on finding a breakthrough within the dimensions.
Because she knew that no matter what, there would always be one person who, even if they forgot their own existence, would not forget her words.
...
"Nao, when I call for you, you must 'come.'"
"Yes, I will definitely 'come.'"
In the myriad worlds, Nao sat in the highest level of the Great Library of White Night, gazing out the window.
His mind flashed back to the words Ye Bai had suddenly spoken to him just minutes ago.
Even though Nao did not fully grasp the deeper meaning of Ye Bai's words, he responded with the same solemnity as he had when she prepared to delete the God King’s role information eons ago.
Things that are unclear now will not remain unclear forever; under the eternal brilliance, there will always come a day of understanding.
Now, as a light that resembled normal sunlight, almost indistinguishable from it, fell, Nao suddenly stood up.
"King..."
Nao stood still, trying to 'go back.'
However, he soon furrowed his brow, his expression shifting to confusion and contemplation.
Energy surged within Nao as he made various attempts in a short span of time.
In White Night City, a donkey by the bakery twitched its ears and tilted its head toward the library; in the greenhouse, Ainolucia paused her fingers from caressing a flower bud and turned to look at the library.
Kraken briefly lifted its head before burying it back into its 'meal'; the one being eaten, Walsh, pondered aloud, "What is Nao doing?"
In the Great Library, Nao paced anxiously on the wooden floor, circling around. When he reached the hundredth lap, he suddenly stopped, as if he had come to a realization.
In the next moment, his black pupils abruptly turned red, and his body suddenly dissipated, falling into three dimensions and transforming into a two-dimensional 'line.'
The two-dimensional line, like the one that once supported Ottofis in the Law of Light, finally touched that unusual brilliance, following its path into the unknown.
...
In the control room of the Star Alliance space station, less than a minute had passed since everything began, yet for everyone present, time felt like it was stretching into eternity.
The commander asked, "How long until the fastest reinforcements arrive?"
The members of the Star Church arriving through the micro wormhole were nearing a hundred thousand. They attempted to send signals to communicate with this unknown force but received no response. In this situation, all they could do was observe and wait for reinforcements.
The liaison team communicating through the star network immediately replied, "Four minutes and fifty-eight seconds remaining."
"What about the main forces?"
"The Ruylan fleet will arrive in nine minutes and thirty-four seconds, and the Kain fleet in ten minutes and twelve seconds."
Upon hearing this, the commander turned his gaze back to the high-magnification recording equipment:
"The speed has decreased to one hundred thousand times; we can see the movement differences with the naked eye."
"It doesn’t seem like she’s unable to act, but while we wait for reinforcements, what is she waiting for?"
Just as the commander finished speaking, a tiny point of light, no larger than a grain of rice, suddenly flickered to life in the dark, deep wormhole of Blue Star.
"Pop!"
At the same time, all carbon-based life forms present, whether from the Star Alliance or the Star Church, seemed to hear a phantom-like sound of shattering.
A faint yet profoundly subtle sensation coursed through their consciousness, as if a membrane that had existed in the world before them had suddenly been pierced and vanished.
This feeling was so subtle that most people, lacking the sensitivity, merely felt a momentary daze before forgetting it entirely, unaware of what had transpired, and unable to capture the memory of that sensation.
Only a few perceptive individuals, along with A-level psychics, retained this feeling in their memories.
The commander was one of those sensitive individuals. Just as he was momentarily lost in thought due to this fleeting anomaly, he was interrupted by the system alarm beside him.
Under the overwhelming presence of an ultra A-level and a multitude of A-level psychics, all those below this level temporarily lost their once-powerful perception, relying mainly on various detection devices to understand the situation.
At that moment, the alarm system blared with urgent, continuous announcements:
"High energy ahead!"
"High energy ahead!"
"Continuous high-energy reactions detected in the wormhole!"
Within the white point of the wormhole, energy surged, and a two-dimensional black dot began to grow from small to large.

Chapter 212
Accompanied by the continuous alerts from the Star Alliance's energy monitoring instruments, within the wormhole, a two-dimensional black dot, composed of Ye Bai's psychic energy, was emerging very slowly but surely from a lower-dimensional world.
As the material energy within the wormhole surged, the black dot, upon entering this universe, began to rapidly merge and react with the information and energy of this world.
While reconstructing its body to adapt to this universe, it echoed a saying—"A thousand-mile dam can be destroyed by an ant hole."
The walls built by silicon-based civilizations in this universe were sealed from the outside in, top-down. Yet the emergence of this black dot was from the inside out, bottom-up, born from an initially flawed program, ultimately spreading to become an 'error' that would influence the universe.
Matter, energy, and information intertwined, undergoing a mysterious and wondrous unstable evolution, ultimately reaching a peak.
"High energy ahead... zzz..."
"Energy overload—"
The alarm from the space station's detection equipment abruptly ceased.
The tension within the Star Alliance forces aboard the warship snapped.
The commander took a deep breath, looking at the equally bewildered operator at the control panel: "Overload means..."
The operator, caught by the commander's gaze, jolted and stammered:
"A very powerful A-level, or perhaps... an ultra A-level."
In theory, detection instruments would also overload when encountering a powerful A-level target, but in this situation, an ultra A-level was being besieged by a multitude of A-levels, and neither side was targeting their equipment.
