Ye Jingyi felt his head spinning. Opening his eyes, he instinctively touched his aching head.
His mind, still foggy from just waking up, struggled to piece together memories, leaving his thoughts in chaos.
"Who am I? Where am I?" These were the first questions that crossed his mind.
Clutching his head, he surveyed his surroundings. He found himself in the midst of a forest, lying beneath a colossal tree.
The sight around him only deepened his confusion.
"Di...Di...Di, Host wakes up... It is detected that the host is experiencing memory loss... starting the backup program..."
"Di...Di...Di, Lack of Energy for Backup Plan, Recommended scanning the surrounding for an energy source...."
"Scanning starts!"
A mechanical voice, reminiscent of a child's, echoed in his mind, creating a strange sensation within his brain.
"Di… The energy source has been found successfully... Solar energy… Starting to absorb… recharging the Nano Suit...."
"Releasing Energy bots…"
Following these instructions, his clothing began to writhe, and a small piece separated from the main fabric.
Transforming into something akin to a paper crane, it gracefully soared into the sky.
As Ye Jingyi, still grappling with memory loss, observed this spectacle, more clothing detached and transformed into paper cranes, gracefully ascending into the sky.
Attempting to stand, he realized his body was engulfed in pain, rendering him unable to move.
Eventually, the cranes returned, merging seamlessly with his clothes. Another segment detached and soared into the sky, repeating this process.
Merge... Separate. Merge... Separate.
This continued for ten minutes until the mechanical voice chimed in once more.
"Di. Di… Sufficient energy absorbed. Emergency treatment is carried out..."
The clothes transformed again, this time into numerous cables dancing like a dragon, attaching themselves to different parts of his body.
These cables connected to his wounds, with most leading to his head.
Just as confusion settled, a warm current spread from the cable attachments, and his body began healing at an astonishing speed.
His eyes, closed in apparent sleep, suddenly snapped open, devoid of confusion. They now held a mixture of doubt and ecstasy.
He remembered everything. He was Ye Jingyi.
Ye Jingyi was a Junior Researcher, achieving recognition as one of the youngest researchers in history through his talent and hard work. One day, while using instruments to measure Origin Fluctuations, he discovered anomalies that had never been recorded by humans.
Filled with excitement, he dispatched a mechanical crane to investigate. However, an unexpected turn of events occurred – the mechanical crane was destroyed when it approached the location of the original frequency discovery. This was perplexing because these cranes were known for their high defense and speed, impervious even to missiles.
Before the destruction, the mechanical crane managed to relay valuable information: the original frequency. According to the established understanding, each planet possesses a unique origin frequency, and the Human Federation has extensive records of these frequencies in numerical form.
Ye Jingyi attempted to match the newly discovered origin frequency with the federation's database but found no similar records. This suggested that the origin frequency might be from a previously unknown planet or galaxy. The numerical format followed a standard order: Origin Frequency of Universe/Origin frequency of galaxy/origin frequency of the planet.
Motivated by this discovery, Ye Jingyi aimed to convert this frequency data into a format that could help locate the new planet or galaxy. However, the notion of finding a new universe seemed impossible based on existing research, as the universe was believed to have no borders or limits.
The deeply ingrained belief in a single universe with a unique origin frequency for the entire universe was challenged by the data obtained. The Mechanical crane had detected the original frequency of a new universe, suggesting a high possibility of the existence of another universe.
This revelation shook the foundations of their understanding and left Ye Jingyi with a burning determination to explore this newfound discovery.
Upon seeing the data, he found it unbelievable, yet the undeniable facts and evidence were laid out before him. He had no choice but to accept the enormity of this discovery.
Excitement surged within him as he eagerly shared his findings with everyone. Unfortunately, his revelation was met with skepticism and rejection. Those familiar with his research gave him the cold shoulder, mocking him for challenging deeply ingrained beliefs.
This disbelief persisted even with concrete data in his hands. Doubters claimed his machine malfunctioned or accused him of forging the data. Undeterred by the skepticism and allegations, Ye Jingyi's fighting spirit burned brighter. His adventurous side awakened, fueling his determination to prove them wrong by finding another universe.
Despite his efforts, days passed without results. After an extended period of hard work, he once again detected Origin Fluctuations. This time, he was thrilled and determined to personally explore the anomaly, aware of the risks involved.
Donning his newly purchased Nano Suit, acquired with his life savings, he became impervious even to weapons as formidable as the Fat Man and Little Boy. Armed with high-tech weaponry, he hastened toward the location displaying different Origin Fluctuations.
Upon arrival, he meticulously searched for the area with the highest fluctuation to pinpoint the location. As he neared, an abnormality manifested – a space crack appeared.
Due to the vacuum, he was involuntarily drawn into the space crack. Fortunately, the Nano Combat Suit protected him from being torn apart, but he remained unconscious, oblivious to the events unfolding around him.
"Scan the surrounding areas and try to locate a living creature," Ye Jingyi directly ordered the AI in his brain, MX-2017.
