"Observing?"

Lin Ke's heart trembled, and he instantly halted all other experimental research thoughts, focusing entirely on listening and contemplating this follower's voice.

This is a race that resembles ants, living underground year-round.

Or you could say, their plane seems to be a newly born realm, where earth elements are extremely dense, and there isn't much life above ground; most life exists underground.

An enormous underground dimension.

And among them, the Ant-men are the rulers of this plane.

However, this plane is merely a medium-sized dimension, and the empire of the Ant-men is just taking shape; even their highest and strongest are only level nine.

Even Magic is still in the exploration stage, let alone rules and laws.

Yet, the Pope of the Ant-men Empire's church posed a question.

The observer effect is a typical research result, a classic case of observation affecting the laws of the physical world.

All of Lin Ke's experiments are related to the material world.

But over time, these intelligent life forms, who haven't experienced twelve years of compulsory education, often ask ridiculous questions like a blank canvas.

It's often these naive, even basic and foolish questions that give Lin Ke a different perspective.

Sometimes, what can't be thought of within one framework might be a common occurrence in another.

"Observer... Observer effect... Matter and consciousness..."

Lin Ke maintained his instinctual rush forward, with these terms constantly revolving in his mind.

These terms collided and merged, forming new terms.

Each collision represented dozens of experiments, whether successful or failed.

The results of these experiments expanded Lin Ke's view, not taking him higher, but allowing him to see farther.

Gradually, his entire body even slowed down, from superluminal speed to the speed of light, and eventually could only reach the speed of sound.

Until he completely stopped.

All his consciousness immersed in the imagination and experiments of the four fundamental forces.

One of the greatest abilities of intelligent life is to think.

And as he settled down, his Magic Power no longer maintained the protective shield, and countless space ripples washed over him.

Luckily, he was a rule entity, and the rule he understood upon his legendary ascension was the matter-energy equation, so these space ripples couldn't harm him.

However, his position naturally shifted with the space ripples.

Like a stone floating in the cosmos, or like a leaf in the river, drifting around with the Star Realm currents.

And one day, a Star Realm Void Beast saw Lin Ke and swallowed him whole.

The Star Realm Void Beast doesn't possess much intelligence, only beast-like instincts.

So it directly gobbles up anything it sees, fleeing if its prey fights back too strongly, following instinctual activities. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After being swallowed, Lin Ke remained in contemplation, his body curling like a fetus wrapped in itself.

The cosmic currents couldn't wash away Lin Ke's body, let alone the Star Realm Void Beast?

But one day, this Star Realm Void Beast felt discomfort with something inside its stomach, so it spat Lin Ke's body out again.

On another day, he was swallowed again.

Thus, being swallowed and spat out dozens of times, Lin Ke suddenly opened his eyes.

......

"Buzz——"

Upon opening his eyes, Lin Ke's body suddenly spread out like particles, silently, only to rapidly condense again.

"No, not the four fundamental forces, but the essence of the world..."

White Light surged from Lin Ke's eyes, his tone carrying excitement:

"World essence, not just matter! The four fundamental forces are manifestations of matter, energy, information, even just reflections of energy!"

"Matter, energy, and information blend yet separate from each other; this is a philosophical form..."

Lin Ke murmured, and during this murmur, the immensely grown bloodline tree in his Soul Space shook violently.

Until it reached a certain threshold, all the bloodline trees scattered entirely, like raindrops into the soul.

Bloodline collapse is a grave matter of life and death.

However, for Lin Ke, this wasn't a bad thing, but a good one.

The rule body has formed, but the bloodline and soul are independent of the physical body.

At this time, they directly fused together.

He had previously asked René Descartes about the standards for becoming a Dominator.

And when the entire body and soul merge as one, it is one of the judging criteria for reaching Dominator Level.

Besides, there are understanding rules, adequate Magic Power, etc.

Apart from Magic Power, it seems he has met the criteria for advancing to Dominator.

But now, what obstructs him from becoming a Dominator is precisely the need for a daily accumulation of Magic Power.

Others have lived long enough to accumulate enough Magic Power, but lack in rules understanding.

Currently, Lin Ke has understood the second rule, but lacks in Magic Power.

"Rules... four fundamental forces..."

Lin Ke slowly closed his eyes, the blazing white light within gradually receding.

For him now, does his level matter?

The unification of the four fundamental forces almost makes him omnipotent.

Rule—matter-energy equation!

Rule—four fundamental forces!

He unified the four fundamental forces!

"Naseng..."

Lin Ke opened his eyes, exhaled gently.

The next instant, his body appeared billions of miles away.

Skill—Gravity!

Now, he can travel without using energy!

"Swish——"

The cosmic currents are not liquid, but a product of rules and laws intertwined; yet Lin Ke's passage stirred great ripples within.

Too fast a speed, too great a kinetic energy, and inertia also increased due to his body's mass.

He himself hadn't realized that his existence seemed to become a source of gravity.

Countless dimensions immediately followed as he moved.

If forced to say, it presented itself like a galaxy.

Like in the past, when the sun traveled with Earth and other planets, Lin Ke's presence invisibly led countless dimensions forward.

However, Lin Ke naturally realized this later.

Yet it didn't stop him from continuing on his way.

Originally having traveled for three years, now Lin Ke reached a familiar place in less than a month.

...

Without minding the countless orbiting dimensions behind him, because he had already manipulated gravity to maintain a proper position with them.

Ahead of him was a familiar, vast, infinite "tower."

The Fearless Tower!

"I'm back..."

Lin Ke breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment his face sank.

Inside the Fearless Tower...

No sign of Andrew?!
