"Sir, the Emperor sent me to escort you, and I can live in the New Human Territory for a while."
After Ziyu walked out of the Imperial Palace, Zero caught up with him and said.
"What? You can go there?" Ziyu immediately became excited; this was a big surprise for him.
"Yes, this will also facilitate communication between Mechanical Life and you all, and I will bring over long-distance real-time communication technology." Zero also seemed very happy.
Long-distance real-time communication had always been a major challenge. Currently, only Mechanical Life had solved this issue, while humans were still using high-cost wormhole communication.
In other words, they needed to construct a wormhole leading to the target location and then send a signal toward the wormhole... Many places had specialized Cosmic Signal Transceivers specifically for constructing such communication wormholes.
Mechanical Life had already moved beyond this and achieved true real-time communication.
"That's really great..."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Ziyu and Zero were transported to the surface of the planet via industrial tracks, flying out of the planet's range in the original direction.
"Once we get a bit farther away, we can construct the wormhole. If we build it on this planet, it will always be off course..." Zero said.
Ziyu had no choice but to go outside to construct the wormhole; Mechanical Planet had significant interference.
"Of course, we still need to be careful..." Zero walked ahead.
Zero's system could detect more accurately where danger might be... After all, Zero had lived in this area for a long time.
Chaotic Void is very dangerous.
Ziyu followed closely behind Zero, constantly scanning the Nearby environment, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
However, sometimes the more you worry, the more likely it is to occur...
"Boom..." A black fissure suddenly appeared in the black void, right between Zero and Ziyu.
The black fissure is a spatial rift... The Spatial Rift emerged due to the instability of the Nearby space, causing the surrounding space to desperately try to fill this void... resulting in a tremendous pressure difference and immense gravitational pull.
"Don't..." Before Ziyu and Zero could react, they were directly pulled into the Spatial Rift.
The darkness of the Spatial Rift... was filled with an unusual sensation; after all, the Spatial Rift is a tear in space! Inside the rift is not this space or this universe!
What lies on the other side? No one knows; those who entered have never returned.
In scientific theory, there exists Antimatter, which is precisely what allowed Ziyu to construct a wormhole. Yet, Antimatter is not a substance that should exist in this world.
Therefore, beyond the space where humans, New Humans, Mechanical Life, and other species exist, there must be another space.
This space is composed of Antimatter... known as the Dark Universe.
The Dark Universe and the Original Universe are parallel and overlapping, two sides of a cosmic space that balance each other...
The space accessed through the Spatial Rift leads to the Dark Universe.
Of course, no one can confirm this; it remains speculation.
Ziyu and Zero were absorbed by Spatial Rift, with no ability to resist.
"What happened..." Ziyu's consciousness was hazy, completely unable to act, only able to feel floating.
"Sir, sir." Zero's voice sounded beside Ziyu, "Sir, we have arrived in another space... it shouldn't belong to our original universe... just take a look."
Ziyu forced his eyes open and looked at the Nearby environment.
"What the hell is going on..." Ziyu lay in the void, his consciousness not fully awake, yet he was already stunned by the scene before him.
The universe space in front of him was still vast and expansive... even the structure was the same.
Behind Ziyu, there was even a mechanical planet that was also in motion...
But there was one difference.
A difference that could be seen at first glance.
Everything here had colors that were the opposite of what they used to be.
For example, a white planet that used to exist was now black, a yellow star had turned blue...
The entire world had become much more colorful, but it felt very abnormal.
Even that Mechanical Planet did not look magnificent but rather eerie.
One day, when I opened my eyes, I saw that the scenery around me was in completely opposite colors. Anyone would go crazy in such a situation.
"This might be the Dark Universe, a place where antimatter is prevalent..." Ziyu woke up and, after a moment of pause, spoke slowly.
"I think so too. The Dark Universe has always been an unprovable theory, but now it can actually be demonstrated," Zero said from the side.
"But... damn it, whether we can go back is still a question," Ziyu insisted on activating the Battle Armor and flew toward the nearest planet.
At least before figuring out the situation, they needed to find a place to land.
In this world of Chaotic Void, there were no Spatial Rifts or Temporal Turbulences, no super lightning... everything was quiet and normal.
It made sense; the space of a universe's positive and negative sides needed balance. If both sides were chaotic, then this place would surely collapse one day, and the universe would be doomed.
"I wonder if there are any living beings in this space," Ziyu thought while flying toward a nearby planet.
"It seems this space has its own new rules." Ziyu tested it out and sat down comfortably on the surface of the planet.
In the original space, Positive Matter and Antimatter could not coexist for long; that was a rule of space. However, both Ziyu and Zero were made of Positive Matter, and here they touched a planet made of Antimatter without any issues. This indicated that the Dark Universe had its own rules.
"How are we going to get back?" Ziyu smiled wryly.
I can't believe this is happening...
"We could create another Spatial Rift and then leave," Zero guessed, unsure of what to do.
"This space looks very stable..." Ziyu tried to construct a wormhole but couldn't manage it. "Could it be that the Dark Universe is the foundation of the entire universe? It must be stable?"
"There's also this possibility..." Zero nodded.
"Let's see what the local creatures have to say~" Ziyu chuckled, "Maybe there's another you and me here."
Ziyu's guess was completely correct... In this world, there really was another Ziyu and Zero.
"There really is..." Ziyu's eyelid twitched a few times as he looked at the nearby Mechanical Planet.
Two figures emerged from that planet, looking just like Ziyu and Zero, only their colors were reversed... This "Ziyu" had a strange skin tone, a light blue color that contrasted with Ziyu's yellow skin.
They were doing the same thing that Ziyu and Zero had just done—looking for a place to construct a wormhole.
"If everything is the opposite... then..." Ziyu activated the communication system, completely reversing his Signal to send a message.
The nearby "Ziyu" didn't notice the two people at first, but soon after pausing for a moment, turned to look in their direction.
"A person... exactly like me?" the blue Ziyu said slowly.
