Chapter 1 Aftermath of Battle

After an intense battle, Luke, Mu Jieyu, and Xi'er followed the healing division's medical staff to the healing pods. The healing division was one of the four divisions.

The so-called four divisions were the four major systems established by the Dimensional Fortress: the combat division responsible for eliminating phantasms across dimensions, the adjudication division responsible for executing laws, the healing division responsible for treatment and rescue, and the data intelligence division, to which both Xi'er and Mu Jieyu belonged.

Just then, Yi He, the head of the healing division, walked over. She was also the twin sister of Yi Ling, the head of the adjudication division. "Oh! It's you guys. The warm-up match just now was so exciting. If Ye Cang hadn't fallen, I believe the winner would have been Ye Cang."

"Haha... look at Feng Lei. He's already in a deep coma. If we don't put him in the healing pod for treatment as soon as possible... it might be too late. Even if we heal him, he might be mentally deficient."

"Actually... losing is losing... After all, Feng Lei has been in the Dimensional Fortress for almost fifteen years. His strength and combat power are naturally unquestionable. But Ye Cang has only been in our Dimensional Fortress for a short year."

"Only a short year, and he can already rival the people of the adjudication division. His strength is also quite terrifying, isn't it?" "Don't worry, Ye Cang is fine. He's just overdrawn his physical strength and had an arm broken. Two days! He'll recover in this healing pod in just two days. Trust me, I'm a professional."

With that, Yi He had the other medical staff put Feng Lei into the healing pod for treatment. Xi'er gazed affectionately at Ye Cang, still very worried about him.

Yi He saw Xi'er's concern and comforted her, "Alright, Xi'er, it's okay. Come back here two days later in the morning. I guarantee that Ye Cang will be standing in front of you safe and sound."

Xi'er hesitated for a moment, "Okay... Sister Yi He, then I'll come and see him later."

The group said their goodbyes and left the healing division. During this time, Ye Cang was not completely unconscious. His consciousness could still hear the conversations outside the healing pod.

After they left, the healing division became quiet. Ye Cang's memories also began to flow in this vast and deep universe.

My name is Ye Cang... My hometown is the Zero1018 Nebula. My background is extremely ordinary. I was destined to live an ordinary life. But... phantasms that were brutal and cannibalistic suddenly appeared in my hometown. My hometown was slaughtered by phantasms, and the Zero1018 Nebula was also destroyed by phantasms.

Some say life is like a play, and others say a play is like life. Some say art comes from life but is higher than life, and others say... life is like a bizarre script, and we are playing the roles in the script.

But I found that the lyrics in this script haven't changed much for thousands of years. Whether it's the joy we see in our eyes or the extreme sadness in our hearts. It's just... a segment in the play of the mortal world.

A desolate and dark moon flies backward, but the candlelight of stars leaves no trace. Vast and boundless, yet like a lone swan alighting on reeds.

I thought I would die, completely and utterly torn apart by the phantasms. Just as I was about to be tortured and killed by the phantasms... a dimensional quantum vortex appeared in front of me. Then I was sucked into it, and after being unconscious for several months, when I woke up.

I had already arrived at the current Dimensional Fortress. This Dimensional Fortress is said to be a super battleship that is spontaneously condensed from dimensional quantum particles.

This battleship can freely switch the size and shape of the battleship. It can transport us to any space, any dimension, any nebula, any world.

At the same time, the battleship can also transport all species from any space, any dimension, any nebula, any world to the Dimensional Fortress through the dimensional quantum vortex.

As for why I became so powerful after coming here, it's because everyone who is brought to the Dimensional Fortress by the dimensional quantum vortex will be tricked into a room with a very high concentration of dimensional quantum particles on the day we wake up.

Those who can perfectly integrate with the dimensional quantum particles, like me, can become a dimensional jumper through training. Our responsibility is to jump through different dimensions and hunt the phantasms that are produced in the universe.

Some people who come here, because of their own constitution or their own gene cells, cannot perfectly integrate with the dimensional quantum particles, will die on the spot.

Of course! Everyone who comes to the Dimensional Fortress is like me, a dying person saved by the dimensional quantum vortex. So, for me, it's more of an irony.

Everyone... isn't it? My family was killed by phantasms, my hometown is gone, and the nebula I lived in has been turned into a speck of cosmic dust. Only me... only I survived.

So, when I first arrived, I didn't cherish this opportunity. Instead, I was recklessly crazy. After I perfectly integrated with the dimensional quantum particles, I didn't feel happy about gaining dimensional power. During this year, I have been performing cross-level hunting missions.

The levels of phantasms, from low to high, are roughly divided into: E-level phantasms - village-level disasters, D-level phantasms - township-level disasters, C-level phantasms - city-level disasters, B-level phantasms - national-level disasters, A-level phantasms - continental-level disasters, S-level are no longer in the category of disasters, but the extinction of the world, the extinction of civilization. As for the phantasm that could destroy the Zero1018 Nebula, it's not S-level.

It's an SS-level phantasm that surpasses the S-level. Also called a super phantasm.

In order to facilitate us jumpers to perform hunting missions, we jumpers also have our own strength level divisions. From low to high, they are: Zhuiyun (Chasing Cloud) level, Zhudian (Chasing Lightning) level, Liedou (Fierce Battle) level, Jufeng (Hurricane) level, Jiangling (General Spirit) level, Jiangxing (General Star) level, Yingxiong (Hero) level, Bawang (Overlord) level, Wushuang (Unrivaled) level. When we hunt phantasms to a certain number, the Dimensional Fortress will also award us corresponding honorary star medals as a reward.

Oh, right! There's also one very important thing, that is, in the Dimensional Fortress, there is an extremely cruel way of dueling: Duiyi! Don't think that Duiyi is a refined term, like playing chess. In fact, Duiyi, to put it bluntly, is a life-and-death duel.

Once one party initiates a Duiyi challenge to the other party, the other person cannot refuse for any reason. The rules are very simple, one horizontal and one vertical.

Only the person standing has the right to speak. It is difficult for the person who loses the Duiyi to have a good ending. Not only that, but the losing party's points accumulated from hunting phantasms, the women or men exchanged for with points. Or everything they want to get, will be completely received by the winner. As for me, it was precisely because of Duiyi that I met Mu Jieyu, Xi'er, Luke, and Feng Lei.
