Xu Lan hurriedly brought Bai Wu to the research institute. Qin Lao took down his glasses excitedly and gave him a hug before letting him into the laboratory.

“Xiao Xu, I think I found a regular pattern of the way the dimension transforms. I called you guys here today mainly to test it out and see if it works!” Qin Lao showed him his research outcome to both of them enthusiastically.

The laboratory was separated by a custom-made tempered glass. There was nothing inside, but Xu Lan could instinctually feel a sense of oppression. When he moved closer, a dark void appeared on the computer screen. When Qin Lao altered some data, the void in the laboratory disappeared instantly. After switching back to the previous data, the void reappeared on the computer.

Xu Lan was so shocked that he could not speak. The void just appeared in front of their eyes like a magic trick.

“Can the void be designated to a specific parallel dimension?” Xu Lan asked.

“That’s what I wanted to tell you. I discovered it when I spoke to you previously. Bai Wu stalled a huge amount of time in all three parallel dimensions and dragons appeared in all three worlds. He also mentioned himself that the nature of the dimensional crack was to send him back to his own world.

The first dimension had Huaxia, where we first met each other. You guys went through a huge case—Li Xiu’s merciless murder. All victims were women and they had their breasts cut off and private parts sewn shut.

The second one was the dimension with games. You experienced all kinds of creatures including deities, demons, and monsters.

Finally, you came back to the original dimension, which is here. However, the dimensions started to lose order and collide with each other.”

When Qin Lao finished talking, Liang Yu passed a stack of papers to Xu Lan and Bai Wu. It was filled with equations and formulas written in horrendous handwriting.

“I had a discussion with a sinologist, and this was the result of our deductions using the dimensional equation. The last page consists of the requirements needed to build this void. We made the dimensional crack that was displayed on the computer screen by following these requirements,” Qin Lao continued.

Xu Lan had no clue as to what the equations meant. He could only understand ‘ Female represents Yin, forgoing it forms ”Yue’ while covering it forms ‘Ri’ ¹ . There was another character, ‘ Mu ² ‘ that was scratched off by the pen. It looked like Qin Lao had refuted this possibility as the answer after researching. The other piece of paper had something written on it, ‘Demons and monsters are evil and since evil has no roots, it would not be grounded.’ Another one had ‘Primeval state of chaos’ written on it, where all the things that happened in all of the worlds happened within it.

“How can we find the parallel dimension that Bai Wu was from?”

“We can link all three clues together. ‘E’ represents the sun’s energy, and we use α and β to represent the two unknowns respectively — evil and the primeval state of chaos. We also utilized the special material that we used to build the Jiaolong submarine to make a protective case for the mini camera. After umpteen trials, we finally found the passage to the dragon clan.”

Qin Lao pointed towards the laboratory. The LED screen from the outer wall of the laboratory displayed a luscious forest. The camera was hanging on the tree, projecting one dragon after another, all of them were huge and strong.

However, the atmosphere was not quite friendly. The black dragons were exceptionally burly, and they fought whenever they met each other. They govern each attribute according to their will. For instance, Bai Wu governed ‘Ice’, Qiao Yi dominated “Fire’, one of the dragons controlled ‘Wind’, and another controlled ‘Electricity’.

Bai Wu kept a straight face and remained silent from the start. When he saw the situation in the dragon clan, his expression was even gloomier and almost let out the original form of his dragon’s might.

Xu Lan turned to the last page, the equations were all scratched off. The warped dimensional crack was not measured by ‘energy’ and ‘time’ anymore. Similarly, the general theory of relativity stated that the dimensions were not absolute, but relative instead. At last, there were pen marks that poked repeatedly on the primeval state of chaos.

“What is the primeval state of chaos?” Xu Lan asked.
