Chapter 304 304 To Go to the Heavenly Palace
Wei Xuan was not annoyed and continued, "The Heavenly Palace is real. Although my family has declined, our ancestors have also been to the Heavenly Palace."
She removed an unassuming earring from her ear, which was set with a diamond of about 50 points. "This diamond was brought back from the Heavenly Palace, as well as the gemstones that are passed down in your family. They are all products of the Heavenly Palace."
The surroundings were silent, and Wei Xuan's words left them unsure whether to laugh or be angry.
"Keep making things up! Keep making things up!" Lin Baoying was stubborn, but she was clearly hesitant.
Wei Xuan shook her head: "You're always like this, no matter what I say, you don't believe me, so I took your gems and left alone. Because with them, I can sense the entrance to the Heavenly Palace. That energy just now came from the Heavenly Palace, so the entrance to the Heavenly Palace must be nearby!"
Wei Xuan looked at Zhao Lexi, her eyes filled with suppressed madness: "You were the only one here just now, you must have seen something! Tell me, wouldn't it be better if we went to the Heavenly Palace together! Away from this wasteland! Wouldn't it be better to go to the Heavenly Palace, free from zombies! Or, do you want to go alone!"
All eyes were on Zhao Lexi. The Heavenly Palace sounded unreal, but everyone had seen the dense energy just now, so it couldn't be fake.
Just as Zhao Lexi was about to say something, she heard an anxious shout from afar: "Lele!"
Zhao Shikang, Gao Jue, and the others rushed over, only feeling relieved after confirming that Zhao Lexi was alright. They stood behind her, watching the people opposite them warily.
“Brother Song!” Zhao Shikang recognized Song Zibai.
Song Zibo nodded in response.
"What happened?" Zhao Shikang asked Zhao Lexi.
When Zhao Shikang asked, Zhao Lexi recalled what had just happened and was momentarily dazed. She could remember what had happened, but Sheng's appearance had become blurry in her memory.
At this moment, she suddenly understood why the information passed down from Wei Xuan and Lin Baoying's ancestors was so outrageous. In a few more days, she probably wouldn't even remember what happened today, forget the saint, forget that higher-dimensional space, and only refer to the higher-dimensional space as the heavenly palace symbolizing beauty based on vague memories.
Since the outcome of speaking or not speaking is the same—being forgotten—Zhao Lexi had nothing to hide.
“I just saw people from a higher dimension, which should be the Heavenly Palace you mentioned,” Zhao Lexi said, looking at Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan asked urgently, "Where is he?"
“He’s gone. He came to deliver energy, and once he delivered it, he left. He said this energy could help us survive the end times.”
"How could you let him go! Only he knows how to get to the Heavenly Palace, to that perfect world!" Wei Xuan roared frantically, "You've destroyed our hope! The hope of all of us."
Everyone's expression changed. Most people had long been fed up with this precarious world. If they could leave here and enter a better world, that would be the best thing ever.
But Zhao Lexi shattered that hope.
After a moment of thought, Gao Jue said, "Our space is three-dimensional. Higher dimensions are four-dimensional and above. Three-dimensional beings probably cannot survive in the fourth dimension."
"Impossible! Our ancestors, and the Lin family ancestors, brought back treasures from there. It must be a place that is countless times better than this place."
“If it were infinitely better than here, how could you be here!” Gao Jue said softly.
Everyone suddenly realized, "That's right! If that place is friendly to three-dimensional beings and life there is happier, how could Wei Xuan's ancestors and the Lin family's ancestors have returned? If they hadn't returned, there would be no descendants, no Wei Xuan, and no girl surnamed Lin."
Wei Xuan had obviously thought of this as well: "Impossible! How could this be!" She had always firmly believed in the existence of the Heavenly Palace, especially after seeing Lin Baoying's family heirloom, she was even more convinced of it. She would rather betray her friendship to find the Heavenly Palace and leave the apocalypse, but reality gave her a harsh blow.
"The logic is obvious: two-dimensional space cannot go to three-dimensional space, and three-dimensional space cannot go to four-dimensional space. Dimensional jumps are very likely to be accompanied by the reorganization of matter, resulting in either the soul being scattered or you no longer being yourself."
“But she said she saw people in four-dimensional space, which means there is still a channel between three-dimensional and four-dimensional space.” Wei Xuan refused to admit defeat and pointed at Zhao Lexi in a final struggle.
Zhao Lexi hated being pointed at, so she retorted, "Go ahead, if you're so willing to go, why didn't you come in when the energy hadn't dissipated? If you had come in, you could have followed along. The energy concentration over there is like this; it just depends on whether you can handle it."
Wei Xuan was stuck. Of course she knew that she couldn't go in with such concentrated energy; going in would mean certain death.
If what she said is true, and the living environment in the fourth-dimensional world is exactly as it was just now, then with her current strength, she certainly wouldn't survive there.
"But you're still alive!"
All eyes turned to Zhao Lexi again: Yes, within the lethal dose of energy, she not only survived, but also witnessed the existence of higher dimensions.
Zhao Lexi wasn't going to put up with her. She casually flicked her finger and chopped off a lock of her hair: "What is my strength? What is your strength? What gives you the right to question me!"
Wei Xuan was so frightened that she couldn't move.
If I had aimed that shot at her neck, she wouldn't have been able to dodge it at all.
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Song Zibai gripped his sword tightly: Just how strong is Zhao Lexi now? He had tried to rescue her, but he couldn't react in time.
Song Zilan gently hugged Wei Xuan and coaxed her, "Xuanxuan, since there is no Heavenly Palace and we can't go to the fourth dimension, just come home with me and let's enjoy the present."
Wei Xuan was somewhat dejected by reality, but once her obsession vanished and she realized she still had to survive in this world, she quickly recovered and bowed deeply to Lin Baoying: "Baoying, I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to steal your things. I was too persistent, thinking that I could find the Heavenly Palace with the two treasures, leave this place, and find a way to survive for everyone. I didn't expect it to be wishful thinking on my part. I'm sorry."
Lin Baoying said awkwardly, "Alright, alright, it's good that you know you were wrong. Don't get stuck on things in the future. Let's talk things out openly. Of course, I was also wrong for not believing you when you first told me about it."
Zhao Lexi said, "Your trip wasn't in vain. You absorbed so much energy, you should be able to level up when you get back."
Thinking of this, Lin Baoying became happy: "That's true. In that case, Wei Xuan, you don't owe me anything. Our grudges can be wiped clean."
Wei Xuan visibly breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful glance at Zhao Lexi.
Zhao Lexi didn't look at her: "I don't like you either, I'm just telling the truth."
After having their conversation, the Song siblings and Wei Xuan said goodbye and left.
Thinking that there might not be any chance to meet again, Zhao Lexi shouted at Song Zibai, "Remember, the three of you still owe me three lives!"
The three disappeared even faster.
After learning about the source of the energy, everyone sighed and then followed Zhang Lijuan back to their residence at the base. Lin Baoying was very interested after learning that there were spiritual fruits there, so she also came back with them.
"Brother, how's Li Zheyuan's matter going?"
