Xu Milu had a vague premonition that behind that door, many unknown beings were greedily watching her, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on her at any moment.
She didn't back down; she simply raised the knife in her hand to confirm the system's security.
"Little Seven? Can you answer my question? Do you need energy now or do you want to continue binding the system fragment?"
It seemed like only a blink of an eye, and the system panel reappeared, the azure background still clear, and Xiaoqi's electronic voice still familiar and comforting:
[Host, according to our detection, we are currently experiencing a spacetime turbulence. However, don't worry, this spacetime turbulence is not large in scale, so it will not affect the system space.]
"Spacetime turbulence?"
Xu Milu steadied herself and realized that the previous host of the dimensional jump system had disappeared in the spacetime turbulence.
Yes, to make it easier for the host to understand, I use the rhetorical device of "metaphor" to explain. The universe is infinite and the multiverse is like a series of water spheres that do not interfere with each other. When some water spheres get too close to each other, or when a higher-level dimensional explosion occurs, spacetime turbulence will be generated.
Within the temporal turbulence, there are no concepts of time or space. The host might encounter Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yongzheng ruling simultaneously, or dinosaurs living in modern cities. You might see people walking in the sky, fish swimming in flames, ants becoming apex predators, and crows becoming kings for centuries—everything there is absurd and nonsensical. Any tiny movement can trigger a massive butterfly effect, which is the terrifying aspect of the temporal turbulence—no one knows how to leave, and no one would willingly enter it.
"Is it because I was fusing with the fifth dimensional fragment that caused the spacetime turbulence?"
Xu Milu said cautiously.
Xiaoqi sounded somewhat regretful:
"...I'm afraid so, host."
[Although I cannot explain it, data analysis suggests that the fifth dimensional fragment may contain some data anomalies. I recommend that the host refrain from system repair for the time being.]
Xu Milu's eyes flickered, and she immediately made a decision: "Okay, then let's not do the data repair for now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire system space returned to calm, the prying eyes from the other side of the door disappeared, and the sunlight outside the window shone on the ground, refracting the shapes of dust particles in the air.
Xu Milu put the long sword in her hand back into the system space before slowly exhaling—her palms were covered in sweat.
No one knew how dangerous the situation had just been; she was just a hair's breadth away from being lost in the temporal turbulence like that senior.
