You Zhengping felt his body being torn into innumerable particles even smaller than atoms. These particles passed through layer after layer of spatial shield to charge towards an unknown farther shore. The unknown was frightening. It was fearful to become something that far surpassed your understanding. But unexpectedly, You Zhengping wasn't scared at all, because he could feel that Yu Hua was up ahead.

Yu Hua had just told Director Xiao that You Zhengping's probability of survival was 30%, while Yu Hua's own was only 1%. But You Zhengping didn't believe that. He hadn't questioned Yu Hua's calculations. He had only thought, if my chances are 30% and Yu Hua's are 1%, then doesn't that make 31 put together?

And according to the Protectors' theory of unity, one and one made far more than two. So added together, they had to have at least a 50% chance. Also, You Zhengping fundamentally didn't believe in the law of probability. A die had six sides. The probability that three dice would all come out six was the cube of 1/6, approximately 0.46%, even lower than the probability of survival Yu Hua had said.

But in reality, there were still people who could get all sixes, and not only 4.6 times in a thousand throws, but on their first try. According to You Zhengping's theory, probability was only a mathematical calculation. When it came to reality, the only probabilities were 100% and 0%. If you won, that was 100%. If you lost, that was 0%. All numbers between these two were empty talk.

In the final analysis, it was multiple choice question between life and death. Therefore, the probability was 50%. There was no problem. While crossing, You Zhengping used his faulty logic to deny Yu Hua's law of probability. What he didn't know was that, shuttling through the multidimensional cosmos, he and Yu Hua had become particles, and their thoughts and bodies were twined together. Yu Hua could clearly sense what You Zhengping was thinking.

Yu Hua, who had been restraining himself the whole time, "heard" You Zhengping insisting on calculating the probability as 50% and finally couldn't resist laughing softly. This soft laughter passed through some mysterious power exchange and came to You Zhengping's heart.

What are you laughing at, You Zhengping thought in exasperation.

Nothing. I was thinking you were making a lot of sense. When humans do something, there's only 100% or 0%. Yu Hua transmitted his thoughts to You Zhengping.

Why aren't we there yet after this long? You Zhengping asked.

It's only been a moment. But our condition now is near light-speed. In this moment, time has no meaning, Yu Hua answered.

Then tell me, what should I do next? You Zhengping asked.

I'll go handle the System. You follow the world law's lead, use the gathered power of the Source Project to protect all the levelers. Don't worry about not being able to find them. The Destroyers' mental force will guide you, Yu Hua answered.

After answering You Zhengping's question, Yu Hua wrapped him up his energy and with sudden great speed charged out of the spatial barrier, coming to a place of nothingness— coming in front of the System. After reaching their target, Yu Hua and You Zhengping were restored to their bodies. Yu Hua pushed You Zhengping out of the core area and left him with a message: Remember your mission.

You Zhengping was thrown out all of a sudden. He wanted to follow Yu Hua inside, but he was blocked by an invisible barrier. Yu Hua had once again cast him aside and gone to face the System himself. You Zhengping clenched his teeth and used his mental force to investigate the strange space.

The vastness of the space exceeded his capacity for understanding. Humans were beings that lived in 3D. The only dimensions they could understand were length, width, and height. Outside of this range—when time became a dimension, for example—they were unable to understand.
