Chapter 646: Just the Beginning

The two Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at each other and saw firm determination in each other's eyes.

"Let's go together," said Jiang Xiaoxiao in the real world, "two people are safer than one."

Jiang Xiaoxiao from the mirror world nodded in agreement: "Yes, and we can take care of each other."

Bai Zhi was a little worried: "But it's too dangerous, we don't even know what you will face..."

"That's why we should go," Jiang Xiaoxiao from the real world said firmly, "Li Yang has disappeared to save our world, we can't sit idly by."

Jiang Xiaoxiao from the Mirror World added: "Moreover, if there is real danger, it will be easier to deal with it if two people are present."

Seeing how determined the two were, others stopped trying to dissuade them. Everyone began to prepare for this cross-dimensional exploration.

The scientists of the X-7 universe sent a large amount of data and guidance through quantum communication to help them transform the devices they had previously used to fight the Annihilators.

"This device will be your anchor point," the old scientist from the X-7 universe explained. "No matter where you go, remember to keep in touch with the device. Once you lose contact, you may never come back. "

The two Jiang Xiaoxiaos nodded seriously, keeping this warning in mind.

After several days of intense preparation, everything was finally ready. The two Jiang Xiaoxiaos put on special protective clothing and stood in front of the modified device.

"I wish you good luck..." Bai Zhi said, her eyes flashing with worry and expectation, "I must come back safely."

"Don't worry," the two Jiang Xiaoxiaos smiled at the same time, "We will definitely find Li Yang and return safely."

As the activation command was given, the device began to shine brightly.

The two Jiang Xiaoxiao felt their eyes blurred, and the surrounding scene instantly became blurry.

When they were able to see their surroundings clearly again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar environment.

This is a seemingly endless space filled with flickering light spots, as if they are floating in the universe.

But unlike the ordinary universe, the "stars" here seem to be made of pure information.

"This is... the data universe?" Jiang Xiaoxiao in the real world said in surprise.

Jiang Xiaoxiao in the mirror world looked around: "It seems we succeeded. But where is Li Yang?"

At this moment, they noticed an existence in the distance that was obviously brighter than other points of light.

That light spot seemed to be constantly absorbing the surrounding information, while also radiating some kind of energy outward.

"Could that be Li Yang?" Jiang Xiaoxiao in the real world said, pointing to the light spot.

"It's very possible," Jiang Xiaoxiao from the mirror world nodded, "Let's go and take a look."

The two of them cautiously approached the light spot.

As the distance shortened, they began to feel a strange pressure, as if countless information was impacting their brains.

"Be careful." Jiang Xiaoxiao in the real world warned, "The information density here is too high and it may cause harm to us."

Jiang Xiaoxiao from the mirror world nodded to express his understanding. They slowed down and approached the light point cautiously.

When they finally came near the light spot, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in their minds:

"Jiang Xiaoxiao? Is that you?"

"Li Yang!" Both Jiang Xiaoxiao exclaimed at the same time.

"I didn't expect... you could actually find this place." Li Yang's voice sounded both happy and exhausted.

"I thought I would never see anyone else again in this life."

"What happened?" Jiang Xiaoxiao in the real world asked eagerly, "Why did you disappear?"

Li Yang was silent for a while, and then slowly explained: "The moment we activated the device to fight [Annihilator], something unexpected happened."

"The consciousnesses of all the universes synchronized in that moment, and then...we merged."

"Fusion?" Jiang Xiaoxiao from the mirror world asked in surprise.

"That's right...and that [existence] appears again." Li Yang replied slowly,

"According to it, we become a unified being, an entity capable of understanding and manipulating multidimensional information."

"But this state is not stable..." Li Yang paused and continued, "We are trapped in this information universe and cannot return to the original world."

The two Jiang Xiaoxiaos looked at each other, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Then how can we help you?" Jiang Xiaoxiao in the real world asked.

"Let me think about it... If nothing else, I need your help to stabilize my existence."

Li Yang raised his head and said seriously, "The device you carry can serve as an anchor to help me reconnect to the material world."

"But..." Li Yang's tone became serious, "This process may be dangerous."

"If anything goes wrong, you could all be trapped in this information universe."

The two Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate at all: "It doesn't matter, we are willing to take this risk."

"Just tell us what to do."

Li Yang nodded, and without even the slightest hesitation, he began to explain the method of action.

Under Li Yang's guidance, the two Jiang Xiaoxiao began to operate the devices they carried.

With the injection of energy, the light spot where Li Yang was located began to flicker violently.

The entire information universe seemed to be shaking, and countless data streams surged around them.

The two Jiang Xiaoxiao gritted their teeth and tried to keep the device running.

But the next moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst out.

The two Jiang Xiaoxiao felt as if they were drawn into a huge vortex, and everything around them was spinning rapidly.

After an unknown amount of time, when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back at the research center.

In front of them stood a person who looked both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Li Yang?" Bai Zhi asked in surprise.

The man nodded, with a smile on his face: "Yes, it's me... or rather, it's 'us'."

Everyone present looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Li Yang in front of them in surprise, and for a moment, they didn't even know what to say.

He looked somewhat similar to the previous Li Yang, but there were obvious differences.

In his pair of ink-colored eyes, there seemed to be infinite wisdom, and his every move exuded an indescribable temperament.

Most importantly, there was only one [he].

Everyone's Li Yang disappeared, but the two Jiang Xiaoxiaos had worked so hard to find only one person.

"You...you succeeded!" Bai Zhi said excitedly.

The two Jiang Xiaoxiao also breathed a sigh of relief, with relieved smiles on their faces.

"Yes, we succeeded." Li Yang's voice seemed a little cold, even emotionless, "But, this is just the beginning."

He looked around, his eyes full of determination:

"Although [Annihilator] was temporarily repelled, it was not completely eliminated... We must be prepared for the next possible crisis."

"Moreover," he continued, "in the torrent of information, I saw many other possibilities and dangers."

"Our world is far more complicated than we imagined."

Everyone listened carefully and looked at each other at Li Yang's words.

Only then did they suddenly realize that what they had just experienced was just the beginning.
