He turned to Lin Xue: "Can you connect to the Lin Xue in other universes?"
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment: "Theoretically, it's possible, but it requires a huge amount of energy..."
"If we can unite the Lin Xues of all universes," Xiao Yi said excitedly, "perhaps we can build a consciousness firewall to prevent the invasion of observers!"
Lin Xue's eyes lit up: "This... this is indeed possible! But..."
She pulled up a set of data: "To activate a cross-universe consciousness connection, at least seven universes' Lin Xue must respond simultaneously. Furthermore, the person serving as the connecting hub..."
Her voice dropped. "It's very likely that she'll collapse...under the overwhelming amount of information."
Xiao Yi held her hand: "It's better than the entire universe being destroyed, isn't it?"
Lin Xue looked at Xiao Yi, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes: "You... really look like the person I described in the main universe."
At this moment, the walls of the safe house suddenly began to twist. A cold voice echoed in the air:
"I found you..."
Lin Xue's expression changed drastically: "Oh no! They've broken through the shield!"
She quickly activated a device: "Hold on to me! We're going to do a space jump!"
After a dizzy spell, Xiao Yi found himself standing in a huge circular hall. This place looked like a command center, surrounded by countless flashing control consoles.
"Welcome to the Ark," Lin Xue said. "This is our last refuge."
She walked to the central console and began to work quickly: "I have sent a connection request to the other universe. Now, we need to wait for a response..."
Suddenly, a holographic projection appeared in front of them. It was Chen Feng, but he looked much older than Xiao Yi knew him.
"Xiao Yi," Chen Feng's voice was tired, "I'm glad to see you're still alive."
"Chen Feng? Why are you..."
"I'm Chen Feng from the Seventh Universe," he explained, "or rather, the seventh version of X-135. We've been monitoring the Observer's actions."
He called up a set of data: "Your plan is risky, but it may be your only chance. I have contacted the 'me' in another universe, and we will assist in establishing the connection."
Lin Xue looked at him in surprise: "Are you willing to help us?"
Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Although we are experimental subjects, we also have our own will. The Observers are not only a threat to humanity, but also a threat to our existence."
Suddenly, more holographic projections appeared. Each projection was a different Lin Xue, from a different universe.
"Connection started," the main control computer prompted, "Consciousness synchronization rate 10%...20%..."
Xiao Yi felt his brain begin to swell, and countless unfamiliar memories flooded into his consciousness. He saw himself in countless universes, some of whom had died, and some were still fighting...
"Synchronization rate 50%...Warning: Energy overload!"
Lin Xue's body began to glow, and her expression became painful: "Xiao Yi... I may not be able to hold on any longer..."
Xiao Yi held her hand tightly: "No, you can do it! Think about all the people in the universe, think about... your sister!"
When Lin Xue mentioned her sister, her eyes suddenly became firm. Her body burst into a dazzling light.
"Synchronization rate 80%...90%...100%! Connection successful!"
In an instant, the entire universe seemed to be still. Xiao Yi felt that his consciousness was pulled into a strange space, where countless points of light were flashing, and each point of light was a universe.
He saw the true face of the Observer - it was a huge collective of consciousness that infected every universe like a virus.
"Now!" All Lin Xue's voices sounded at the same time.
A stream of pure consciousness energy converged from countless universes, transforming into a sharp sword and piercing the observer. The vast collective consciousness screamed silently and began to collapse.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
"Warning: Main Universe Connection Lost!"
Xiao Yi's consciousness was suddenly pulled back to reality. He saw Lin Xue falling to the ground, and her body began to become transparent.
"No!" He lunged forward to grab her, but his fingers went through her body.
Lin Xue gave a weak smile: "I'm sorry... I have to cut off the connection to the main universe... There are greater threats there..."
Her body turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.
Chen Feng's holographic projection also showed interference: "Xiao Yi...you must return to the main universe...there...the truth is..."
Before he finished speaking, the entire space began to collapse.
Xiao Yi felt himself falling, and countless scenes flashed before his eyes. Finally, he fell heavily to the ground.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the same laboratory where he had started, but it was no longer abandoned, but full of busy researchers.
A familiar figure stood in front of him.
It was Lin Xue, but she looked younger and her eyes were purer.
"Welcome back, Xiao Yi," she said with a smile, "or rather... welcome to the real reality."
Xiao Yi struggled to get up from the ground, feeling his brain still buzzing. Lin Xue in front of him looked both familiar and unfamiliar, with a transcendent calmness in her eyes.
"What is this place?" Xiao Yi looked around. Everything in the laboratory was incredibly new.
Lin Xue sighed softly: "This is the 'Cradle', humanity's last refuge."
She motioned Xiao Yi to follow and led him through the long corridor. Through the glass wall, Xiao Yi saw a shocking sight: countless cylindrical incubators were neatly arranged, each with a sleeping person floating inside.
