Luo Yuan stayed in the Glassian star system for half a day and decided to return.
Since the Glassian did not have a sense of danger, Luo Yuan did not purposely kill the Glassians anymore. Even if some of the Glassians managed to escape from the humans, it would still be beneficial to the long-term development of humans.
Luo Yuan thought that the probability of that happening was so low that it was almost negligible. Not every race could be like humans who could increase their intelligence greatly. As the population of the Glassian civilization dropped rapidly, what awaited them would be a decline in technology and a gap in their civilization.
Luo Yuan's silhouette flickered in and out of sight, avoiding the detection of the human space battleships that had spread to every corner of the galaxy. His tiny body was like a drop of water in the ocean as he quietly left the galaxy like a ghost. From the beginning till the end, he did not attract the attention of the human space battleships.
After Luo Yuan left the star system for six light days, he activated his space-time bubble and quickly returned to the direction of Barnard's Star.
However, after flying for a few days, Luo Yuan suddenly felt that he was being watched.
At first, he thought that it was an illusion. After flying for another hour, he noticed that there was a slight change in the gravitational force in space.
Luo Yuan's expression became serious. He slowly removed the space-time bubble and looked around vigilantly.
Now that his warp drive could reach 1200 times the speed of light, there was actually some kind of existence that was watching him in the dark. This made him shudder in fear.
Subconsciously, he looked in a certain direction. This was the intuition that came from his consciousness. However, the dark space was quiet and there was nothing in his sight. Even with Luo Yuan's sharp senses, he could not sense the location of the existence.
Luo Yuan scanned his surroundings with his strong Will. Whether it was the cosmic rays, neutrinos, photons, or electrons, they could not escape from his senses. As for the fine dust and gas, they were all under his control.
However, there was nothing.
It was normal. Everything was normal. However, this was the biggest abnormality.
The gravitational force was increasing at a rapid speed. At first, it was so weak that it was barely noticeable. It was only equivalent to the gravitational force of a hundred million tons of material. However, it was now comparable to the gravitational force on the moon and it was still increasing.
Luo Yuan clearly remembered that there was no record of a black hole in this area. Even if there was a black hole, there would not be such a rapid increase in gravitational force.
A few seconds later, the gravitational force was approaching 10G and within a minute, it had exceeded 1,000G. The space began to shrink as if there was a black hole that was rushing towards him at a superluminal speed.
In fact, the effect was almost the same.
Although Luo Yuan was shocked by the unimaginable situation in the universe, he was not afraid of it. His Will silently smoothed out the distortion in the space. When the strong gravitational force in the space acted on his body, it had already disappeared.
In the concept of physics, gravity was caused by mass, hence the universal gravitational force. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force. If one were to delve deeper into it, they would discover that matter would uniformly emit a gravitational field of gravitons. By artificially increasing the energy of gravitons, artificial gravity could be created, and the next step was the curvature engine.
However, this was only the manifestation of gravitational force on a microscopic level. From the perspective of the entire four-dimensional perspective, the gravitational force of a material represented the strength of the four-dimensional attribute. The greater the mass of the object, the larger the fourth dimension would be. It would affect space more and more, causing some sort of curvature to occur.
Therefore, for Luo Yuan who could manipulate space, unless he encountered a celestial body with extreme gravitational force such as a black hole, a strong gravitational force would not affect him.
He followed the direction of the gravitational force and stared closely. He did not have to wait for long. An hour later, he finally saw a black dot in his' line of sight '.
As soon as he saw it, Luo Yuan's body trembled slightly. He was shocked to find out that the black dot did not exist in the three-dimensional space but in the fourth dimension. His mouth was slightly agape as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
All this while, the fourth dimension had always been an empty and dead space. Other than the endless dark energy tide, it was difficult to see the existence of other things. Although he could infer the existence of four-dimensional creatures from the system and his own four-dimensionalization, it was obvious that the number of such creatures was very low.
It was so rare that he could not even see one within a hundred light years. It even made people doubt whether such creatures really existed.
The range of Luo Yuan's four-dimensional vision was completely unimaginable to ordinary creatures. Usually, he could see a small planet with a diameter of a hundred kilometers floating in the dark within a radius of a hundred light years. If the distance was shortened to fifty light years, he could even clearly see the topographic changes on the surface of a planet.
Although the black dot was just a small meteorite, it was at least a few light years away or even more than ten light years away. However, its speed was beyond Luo Yuan's imagination. The shadow seemed to be expanding every second.
In the beginning, it was as small as a speck of dust. After a few minutes, it had become the size of a sesame seed.
At the same time, the gravitational force in space was getting stronger. At that moment, it had already reached 100,000 G. The endless matter nearby was being pulled by the gravitational force and gathered in the direction of the shadow like flowing water. However, this was only the aftershock of a few light years away. As for the starry sky near the shadow, the position of the surrounding stars had slightly shifted.
It was Luo Yuan's first time witnessing such a mysterious and terrifying phenomenon in the fourth dimension. Moreover, the shadow was highly likely to be the existence of a real four-dimensional creature.
His rationality reminded him that he had to escape as soon as possible. However, his curiosity drove him to stubbornly stay where he was.
In fact, even if he wanted to escape, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to escape from such a terrifying speed. He had already been targeted. Other than staying where he was, there was no other way.
To be safe, Luo Yuan's body instantly collapsed. All the atoms were crushed one by one. The atomic nuclei were forcefully squeezed together by his Will. From his original height of more than two meters, he rapidly shrank to less than 20 centimeters.
In such a state, every molecule in his body had completely disappeared along with the molecular bonds being crushed. All the matter in his body had solidified into a whole mass.
However, his thoughts were still there and he was not affected at all. This was because the calculation mode of his quantum brain had long surpassed the shackles of ordinary creatures. Just like a quantum computer, the calculation energy came entirely from the atomic qubits of the lower and lower dimensions instead of the cerebral cortex. To an existence like him, the brain was just a form and a decoration. It was no longer necessary for life. Even if he did not have a brain, it would not affect his thinking.
At the same time, in his transcendent state, the energy from the fourth dimension allowed him to not worry about the energy requirements of his body.
At this moment, his tiny body was emitting a strong source of radiation. In such a state, his body was indestructible. It was comparable to a white dwarf. Even if the most powerful main cannon of mankind were to bombard him, it would be like a light breeze to him.
Of course, such a state was not without its drawbacks. This was because his body had completely solidified. His entire body was like a statue, unable to move. He could not use his powerful strength at all.
Fortunately, this was not a big deal. When one's strength had reached the level of the fourth dimension, the most important thing was the confrontation between their Will. Even if one's strength was a hundred times stronger, it would still be useless in the face of such an existence.
However, he was still not confident.
After all, Luo Yuan had only peeked into the fourth dimension. Facing a real four-dimensional being, he was still unusually fearful.
As time passed, the shadow became bigger. After waiting for about three hours, the shadow had already reached a diameter of thousands of meters. It was only then that Luo Yuan could see its true appearance.
This was a creature that could never be described in the third dimension. Even Luo Yuan could only see it. He could not describe it with words. It did not have eyes, limbs, or even the distinction between inside and outside. It was the subversion of the concept of biology. If one did not see it with their own eyes, they would never believe that it was a living creature.
At this moment, its body was stuck to the surface of the four-dimensional universe (the three-dimensional world). It was gliding at an astonishing speed of tens of thousands of light speed per second. Although its body did not forcefully squeeze into the three-dimensional space, it had already caused the space in the nearby three-dimensional world to curl up, causing a huge impact.
Time passed quietly for half an hour. Just when Luo Yuan was feeling anxious, the unknown four-dimensional creature suddenly stopped when it was 0.1 light years away from him.
The general diameter of a solar system was only a few light days, or 0.1 light years. Regardless of whether it was for humans or Luo Yuan, it was quite a long distance. However, for this four-dimensional beast, it was already face-to-face.
The next moment, Luo Yuan felt a strong quantum wave that was carefully scanning his body. The energy wave collided with his body, producing a sizzling electric light.
Both of them remained motionless. The four-dimensional creature had intentionally stopped, but Luo Yuan did not dare to move. Facing such an irresistible force, Luo Yuan decisively restrained his entire body's strength. He even withdrew the power that was maintaining the flatness of the space. He allowed the terrifying gravitational force to tear his body to avoid arousing the other party's hostility.
His heart was in a mess. He felt as if he was exposed to a high-power spotlight. He was being watched by others, making him feel uncomfortable.
According to common sense, this kind of four-dimensional creature had already broken away from the low-level energy intake mode of ordinary creatures. However, no one could guarantee that it would be interested in a semi-four-dimensional creature like him.
It did not attempt to forcibly enter the third dimension. Perhaps it knew that it was impossible to do so. However, even if it did not enter the third dimension, the three-dimensional projection of its body had already formed a strong gravitational force that was similar to a black hole. The space around it had formed a semi-four-dimensional cycle. After the light passed through it, it was unable to pass through. It was as if it was swallowed by the void, forming a complete black screen. Even the nearby stars, under the terrifying gravitational force, had changed their orbit and gradually revolved around it.
Fortunately, the Glassian and Barnard Galaxies were at least seven to eight light years away from here. Otherwise, it was unknown how many disasters it would have brought to mankind.
Luo Yuan did not know why, but he could faintly feel that the other party's quantum wave seemed to carry a kind of curiosity and exploration. However, this did not make him feel relaxed. Instead, it made him nervous.
He could not help but recall the scene when he was a child teasing ants.
Perhaps in the next moment, it would be "poured with boiling water", "burned with fire", or simply "trampled to death".
In the face of such a true four-dimensional creature, he was really no better than an ant.
Fortunately, this four-dimensional creature was gentler than he had imagined. Both of them were in a stalemate for a few minutes. In other words, the four-dimensional creature had satisfied a certain degree of curiosity. Then, while Luo Yuan was on tenterhooks, it slightly shook its body and stirred up a majestic dark energy. It quickly left the surface of the fourth dimension and swam towards a higher space.
As the newly formed black hole had lost its gravitational force and the mass of matter in the nearby space was not enough to maintain such an extreme form, it continued to exist for a few minutes before it instantly disintegrated, bursting out with a dazzling light. Perhaps after a few hundred years, there would be an asteroid belt here.
Luo Yuan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Facing such an existence, that kind of pressure was like a mountain. It was exactly like the first time he had encountered the snake mutated beast.
Fortunately, it did not get too close and it did not have any evil intentions. Otherwise, just the projection of its body in the four-dimensional black hole would have been enough to crush him into pieces.
No matter how strong Luo Yuan's Will was, he dared not be confident that he would be safe in the black hole.
He stayed at the same spot and watched the terrifying creature fly further and further away. After a few hours, he could not see any trace of it anymore. Only then did he finally completely relax. He canceled the white dwarf state of his body and returned to his original size.
The next moment, he immediately activated the space-time bubble and quickly flew towards the Barnard Galaxy.
The scene that he had seen today had left a deep impression on him. He was even frightened. Initially, he was a little arrogant, but after this scene, he quickly returned to normal. In the face of a true four-dimensional creature, he was still as weak as an ant.
