Ye Bai of the past had just numbly traversed a miniature wormhole, her mind lingering in a dazed state for a long while.

Meanwhile, the ‘present’ Ye Bai had completed her communication with the Ancients and returned to her own timeline.

Now, with full understanding, she gazed upon the elements around her—light, magnetism, gravity, planets—and felt something entirely different from before.

The universe she once thought boundless, the intricate web of civilizations—once their veils were lifted, they were nothing more than insects trapped in amber, unaware of their gradual solidification.

Even the carbon-based pioneers who transcended the three-dimensional universe into the fourth dimension were powerless against the might of the silicon-based civilizations, left to scavenge for faint hope in the annals of history.

What Ye Bai never expected was that the key to everything would lie with her—a ‘primitive’ from ancient Blue Star—and the game she had created.

She recalled one of the answers the Ancients had given her: Wanjie accelerated the growth of carbon-based lifeforms’ mental energy because, in essence, it was a lower-dimensional universe relative to reality.

But unlike the silicon-based civilizations that sought to plunder the creative forces of the fourth dimension directly, beings in the real universe gained strength through conscious interaction within Wanjie.

Breaking the barrier between Wanjie and reality was equivalent to shattering the silicon-based lifeforms’ blockade of the real universe. This was because Wanjie, too, was an ever-expanding entropy-driven cosmos. A single variable, no matter how minuscule, could render the final ‘zero’ of entropy reduction invalid.

Thus, Ye Bai’s task now was to bring beings from Wanjie into reality.

This wasn’t entirely unprecedented. After advancing to the second-tier Lawbreaker, she had already brought skills from Wanjie into the real world. Later, after mastering Historical Circuitry, she had even ‘fished out’ a life fruit in energy form.

But now, merely extracting energy or material simulations wouldn’t suffice—she needed to bring forth actual living beings from Wanjie.

As for how to achieve this, the Ancients had no answer. Just as they had discovered Ye Bai but couldn’t replicate her ‘dimensional descent,’ it was a cosmic fluke, a one-time phenomenon.

Had the silicon-based lifeforms not imposed their dimensional blockade, the Ancients would never have found Ye Bai. In that case, her fate might have been eternal slumber within a game world that endlessly reset itself, until she was the last one remaining.

But now, after linking the Divine Realm with Wanjie, Ye Bai knew exactly how to break that wall.

……

On the azure Blue Star, ships ascended and descended ceaselessly, their signal lights blinking in the void.

After receiving clearance, vessels approached the wormhole-adjacent space station, engaged their warp drives, and embarked on interstellar voyages.

At nearly the same time, countless foreign ships emerged from the wormhole, guided in by the station.

As one of only two wormholes in the galaxy, this hub handled thousands of vessels daily.

Amidst the usual bustle, Ye Bai’s figure materialized without a sound. The fluctuations in spacetime were seamlessly overwritten, leaving no trace of her arrival—undetected even by the Stellar Alliance’s most advanced sensors.

Her gaze swept indifferently over weapons capable of near A-rank mental energy attacks, unmoved.

She hadn’t expected that facing the once-dreaded Stellar Alliance again would feel so… ordinary.

After all, knowing that true terror lay beyond the three-dimensional universe made her past struggles over ‘coveting the jade’ seem trivial.

Then she turned her eyes to Blue Star—familiar yet foreign. Not a gravitational effect, but a complex, bittersweet emotion welled up inside her.

After awakening in this era, Ye Bai had first been forced off Blue Star, wandered Makur Star, sojourned in the Phantom Sea Galaxy, and hidden in the lawless depths of the chaotic starfields. Now, at last, she had returned.

Even across an entire epoch, this remained the place her eyes sought first when gazing back from the cosmos.

After a silent pause, she looked toward the enigmatic void where the wormhole lurked.

It was through this very passage that the Ancients had sent her and Wanjie across time, from the last epoch to Blue Star in this one.

In truth, only her consciousness had traveled from the past. Her cryopod and body in this era were reconstructions, woven from the wormhole’s energy and matter.

Thus, part of Ye Bai’s essence mirrored the NPCs of Wanjie—a lifeform of data and energy. Yet she was dual-natured, simultaneously possessing the material attributes of the real universe.

To breach the fourth wall now, she would use herself as the conduit and this very wormhole—the same one that had once drawn Wanjie forth—as the gateway to bring its denizens into reality.

But unlike in the game, where players carried the Seed of Genesis linking to the Divine Realm, Ye Bai needed the beings of Wanjie to answer her call willingly.

For NPCs programmed to ignore or rationalize player identities, incapable of comprehending reality, this bordered on impossibility.

Yet Ye Bai took a deep breath and flashed toward the wormhole.

No longer suppressing her mental energy at A-rank, she unleashed her true power—level 150, surpassing A-rank in reality!

The repercussions were immediate. Exceeding the silicon-based civilizations’ imposed universal limits made her stand out like an ice sphere in water—no longer just another droplet.

Her jade terminal, functional until now due to its ‘sluggishness,’ failed. The stellar-tech camouflage dissipated, revealing her original form.

Simultaneously, in the chaotic starfields, the enraged and confused church members—who had lost track of their stowaway—suddenly received new coordinates.

[Eliminate the stowaway! Coordinates (68.951.37)]

“Finally!”

Cheers erupted as micro-wormholes bloomed, disgorging swarms of A-rank warriors like dumplings into boiling water.

……

The instant Ye Bai released her restraints, every Stellar Alliance guard on the space station, every ship queued at the wormhole, every vessel freshly emerged from transit—even psychics across Blue Star, the Moon, and Mars going about their daily routines—

A collective shudder ran through the crowd as they froze in terror.

A surge of immense, overwhelming psychic energy—far beyond anything anyone had ever witnessed—descended upon them. In an instant, it expanded, flooding the space around the wormhole and enveloping the nearest planets.

An A-class psychic could suppress an entire stellar civilization simply because, at full power, their psychic reach could blanket the surface of an entire planet.

But this sudden manifestation of energy stretched far beyond a single planet—and this was just its natural state, not even an intentional expansion.

The terrifying presence paralyzed every psychic in the vicinity, including a passing A-class psychic. Machines continued functioning normally, but all sentient beings seemed to have been paused for a full three seconds.

The first to snap out of it was, naturally, the strongest psychic nearby: "This… this is…"

Beside her, her student regained composure, only to see their usually unshakable mentor wearing the same stunned expression. "Teacher, what’s happening? Why are you also—"

The A-class psychic, trembling with a mix of awe and fear, stammered, "Psychic energy… it’s… it’s beyond A-class!"

And it wasn’t just this lone A-class psychic. Every sentient being who sensed the overwhelming presence quickly spiraled into panic. Some scrambled to investigate, while others rushed to relay the news.

"What just happened?!"

"How can psychic energy be this terrifying?"

The reaction was even more intense among the Stellar Alliance’s security forces stationed at the spaceport. All wormhole travel was halted, ships received emergency evacuation orders, high-level alarms blared, and elite troops mobilized to trace the source of the anomaly.

The psychic presence made no effort to conceal itself—this was a deliberate, unmistakable declaration of dominance.

When observers from various Stellar Alliance factions turned their attention toward the source, the first thing they perceived was a blinding radiance—not of light, but of sheer psychic magnitude.

It was so overwhelming that, at first, none could pierce through to glimpse the figure at its center.

Yet, despite the psychic suppression affecting every being present, technology remained a formidable tool. High-resolution cameras, positioned at a distance roughly equivalent to that between Blue Star and its moon, captured a clear image of the figure radiating the energy.

The moment the image was obtained, it was instantly cross-referenced with the Stellar Alliance’s vast database of known individuals.

The results came back almost immediately—a perfect match with the highest-priority entry in the Stellar Alliance’s most-wanted registry.

The chief commander of Blue Star’s wormhole station stared at the identification report in disbelief:

"Top-priority fugitive: Ancient Human—Ye Bai. Facial match: 100%."
