75: Chapter 75 Four-Dimensional Slices

"The 'Creator' is just like us Little Things; it doesn't age either."

"From the moment I met the 'Creator' until the 'Creator' left, its appearance never changed at all."

Even if Old Thing hadn't said it, Lin Sheng could have guessed as much.

After all, for a High-Level Civilization, longevity should be the most basic of abilities.

"Tell me about some of the things the 'Creator' has done."

"Let me think."

Old Thing struck a thoughtful pose.

"The 'Creator' has done very few things, but every single one of them is worth recording."

"This world didn't originally have a 'Di Star,' but to give the Legitimate Heir a home, the 'Creator' built a planet for him."

"Our home used to be the energy device, but ever since the 'Evil Gods Minion' appeared, the 'Creator' built this current home for us."

"Let me interject with a question: when did the 'Evil Gods Minion' appear?"

"I remember that from the time the 'Evil Gods Minion' appeared until now, the Little Things Star has orbited its star six times."

Lin Sheng did a rough calculation. It takes Mars 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun once; six orbits would be roughly twelve years.

In other words, creatures like Eighteen arrived on Earth seven years ago.

Looking at it this way, the Creator seems to have left within the last two years.

"When did the 'Creator' leave?"

"From the time the 'Creator' left until now, the Little Things Star has completed a bit more than one orbit."

...

Old Thing recounted some of the Creator's deeds, and Lin Sheng listened, feeling impressed despite not fully understanding.

Because Old Thing always spoke of the Creator's deeds through a heavy filter, it caused Lin Sheng's judgment of the Creator to be somewhat inaccurate.

But it didn't matter; the Creator was currently an existence beyond Lin Sheng's reach. Even if it didn't match Old Thing's description, it probably wouldn't be far off.

"Ground, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Did the 'Creator' have a home around here?"

Lin Sheng asked.

Since the Creator was already gone and it was unknown when it might return, Lin Sheng thought about going to the Creator's base in the Solar System to do some treasure hunting.

"Yes."

Old Thing's answer was very certain.

"The Creator's home is on the Little Things Star. After you leave, keep walking toward where the star rises, and eventually, you will see it."

Lin Sheng nodded.

After finishing the topic of the Creator, Lin Sheng chatted with Old Thing about other matters.

Such as the current state of Earth, his family back on Earth, and so on.

After they had chatted enough, Lin Sheng lost his initial curiosity.

Before saying goodbye to Old Thing, Lin Sheng asked it a question about itself.

"If one day the 'Creator' asked you to sacrifice everything the Little Things have for the Legitimate Heir, what would you do?"

Looking at the long string of text Lin Sheng had written on the Ground, Old Thing said without hesitation:

"It would be my honor."

Lin Sheng lightly touched Old Thing with his claw.

...

After bidding farewell to Old Thing, Lin Sheng found Sky.

Sky seemed very happy to see Lin Sheng arrive.

Its green pupils flickered incessantly, like a malfunctioning traffic light.

Lin Sheng chatted with Sky for a while, and before leaving, he asked Sky a similar question.

"If one day the 'Creator' asked you to sacrifice everything you have for the Legitimate Heir, what would you do?"

Looking at this question, Sky struggled for a moment before answering:

"I don't know."

Lin Sheng lightly touched Sky's body with his claw.

...

After leaving the Little Things' home, Lin Sheng found an open space outside and waited there until sunrise.

Following the direction of the rising sun, Lin Sheng rose and flew over at an unhurried pace.

...

Even without trying to hurry, Lin Sheng's flight speed was still very fast.

Before long, a perfect cube appeared at the edge of the horizon.

This cube was likely the place where the Creator had stayed.

Lin Sheng landed on the Ground and stopped beside the cube.

This cube was a perfect square.

The cube had a side length of about 50 meters; it was transparent but visible to the naked eye, with a texture similar to glass.

Because the cube was transparent, Lin Sheng could only see the Martian surface below through it from the outside.

Lin Sheng placed his claw on the side of the cube and activated "Omniscience."

His body was much larger than this cube, but when Lin Sheng placed his claw upon it, the cube's size somehow miraculously exceeded that of his claw.

[Four-Dimensional Slice, containing an independent three-dimensional space-time, no danger.]

The tactile sensation of this Four-Dimensional Slice was somewhat strange; Lin Sheng didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

He observed the exterior of the Four-Dimensional Slice for a while and found it to be a complete waste of time.

Since "Omniscience" said there was no danger, Lin Sheng thought he might as well just go inside and take a look.

He pressed firmly on the outer layer of the Four-Dimensional Slice with his claw, and the slice immediately gave Lin Sheng the feeling that it was "denting."

"Can I enter directly?"

Lin Sheng silently activated "Omniscience."

[Yes]

After receiving confirmation from "Omniscience," Lin Sheng pushed himself forward with force.

Suddenly, he felt as if his entire body was being enveloped by something.

This sensation lasted only for a moment and disappeared in the next.

Lin Sheng successfully entered the Four-Dimensional Slice.

The scene inside the slice was vastly different from the outside.

It was an extremely broad open space, with almost nothing in it, making it seem incredibly vast.

Lin Sheng turned his gaze toward the few items in the open space.

There was a perfect sphere about 30 centimeters in size, also in a biological flesh-and-blood style, and a device that looked like a 'hibernation pod'.

In a corner of the space, there was also a pile of red crystals.

The moment he saw the pile of crystals, Lin Sheng became excited.

He didn't even bother with the two most prominent objects in the space and headed straight for the crystals.

The pile of crystals was a good ten-plus meters high; if the source of these crystals were all creatures over a kilometer long, there would definitely be tens of billions of evolution points.

Even hundreds of billions might be possible!

With an excited heart, Lin Sheng grabbed a large handful of crystals and swallowed them in one gulp.
