After Tang Xiaojie, Yue Nannan, Dong Yuanzhu, and Master Wang emerged from the portal, they were greeted by countless five-dimensional beings as if they were welcoming superstars. Due to the relationship with the Yellow Emperor, almost all the five-dimensional beings regarded the four as epic heroes. A few five-dimensional children even presented flowers to them, immediately enveloping them in happiness. Xiaojie whispered to Nannan, "Being a star feels pretty good, huh?" Yue Nannan, looking at Xiaojie, gave him a sweet smile.
Led by Furli, the group basked in admiring gazes from all around as they proceeded forward. They were headed to a place called Tongtian Pavilion, which, according to Furli, was the tallest and only fixed building in the entire five-dimensional space. Why was it the only fixed building? Xiaojie and the others found out along the way. The five-dimensional world truly transcended the three-dimensional form of points, lines, and surfaces. Even the ground was vastly different from that of the human world, resembling a soft sponge or the clouds in the sky. The five-dimensional beings referred to walking as "strolling in the clouds." In midair, various types of floating buildings moved along fixed trajectories. Occasionally, some buildings would descend to the ground, from which five-dimensional beings in different styles of seamless attire would emerge to stroll in the clouds. Along the way, they encountered mythical creatures such as gentle unicorns, fierce dragons, angelic winged horses, and qilins strolling in the clouds. It was truly magical how these rare divine beasts coexisted harmoniously with the five-dimensional beings as if they were equal neighbors.
Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, Furli felt immensely proud. When a pair of golden phoenixes flew overhead, she happily pulled Xiaojie and shouted, "Look, that's Roosevelt and Churchill, my father's pets."
Xiaojie was equally thrilled and muttered to himself, "It would be so cool to have pets like these."
Furli smiled at Xiaojie and said, "It's not impossible. It depends on whether you have the ability and luck. Hehe, I can show you around later. There's no sun or moon here, but the entire space naturally produces light. There are no nights, so you can stroll in the clouds anytime."
As they walked and chatted, Roosevelt and Churchill, the two phoenixes, circled overhead, following them. In the distance, a tall building was becoming clearer. This building had the style of ancient Chinese architecture, resembling a giant tower or pavilion. It appeared to be about a hundred meters tall and thirty meters wide, very majestic, but without the imposing grandeur of human imperial buildings. From what they had seen along the way, it seemed that the five-dimensional space had no armies, weapons, or any factors of discord. There were no wastelands, no farmlands, no factories, and no signs of energy use, but the air was filled with an abundance of elemental energy. It was truly a wondrous world.
When they arrived in front of Tongtian Pavilion, a robust man about 2.5 meters tall, leading a group of five-dimensional beings, came to greet them. Looking at this tall man's resolute face, Xiaojie felt as if he had returned to the battlefield of Zhuolu 4600 years ago. This was the universally acknowledged ancestor of the Chinese people, the great Yellow Emperor.
Seeing Xiaojie and the others, the Yellow Emperor quickly stepped forward and gave Xiaojie a firm hug. "I've been waiting for you. I never thought we would meet again after 4600 years."
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Xiaojie, looking at the Yellow Emperor, said emotionally, "Yes, we meet again. But for us, it hasn't been 4600 years, only a little over half a month."
"Hahaha, you're right. You are indeed people of this era." The Yellow Emperor's hearty laughter still carried the majesty of a king from ancient times.
As the Yellow Emperor and Xiaojie walked hand in hand towards Tongtian Pavilion, a massive portal of elemental energy appeared in midair to their left. The intense elemental fluctuations made everyone stop and look carefully at the transformation in the sky.
As the elemental portal fully formed, a huge saucer-shaped spaceship about fifty meters in diameter appeared in everyone's view. This spaceship seemed similar to the transportation tools of the five-dimensional beings, with no visible welding marks, and most importantly, it emitted no engine noise, indicating it did not use human technology. Who were the owners of this spaceship, and what was their purpose here? Everyone watched the approaching spaceship with solemn expressions.
Xiaojie said to the Yellow Emperor, "This spaceship is strange. Its construction technology seems similar to your five-dimensional transportation tools, but its appearance resembles the UFOs seen on Earth. It even has a black dragon emblem on it. What on earth is this?"
"A black dragon emblem!" The Yellow Emperor exclaimed, "Morgadarans! Yes, this is the symbol of the Morgadaran star. How did these warlike thieves come here?"
Hearing this, Xiaojie was also bewildered. They had just learned about the Morgadarans, and now they were encountering them. Was it possible that on their first visit to the five-dimensional space, before they even had a drink, they would have to fight? Xiaojie couldn't understand it.
Master Wang, showing his seasoned side once again, shouted to everyone, "No matter what their purpose is, prepare for battle."
Yue Nannan and Zhuzi silently moved to stand beside Xiaojie and Master Wang, forming a line. The five-dimensional beings naturally gathered around the Yellow Emperor, forming another battle team.
The Yellow Emperor shouted to Roosevelt and Churchill in the sky, "You two go and notify the other guardians to gather here."
The two phoenixes, upon hearing the Yellow Emperor's command, let out a long cry and flew away into the distance.
The spaceship landed about fifty meters away from them. A hatch slowly opened on the side of the ship, and with the opening of the hatch, beams of faint yellow light shot out from inside. In the yellow light, one by one, Morgadarans emerged. These beings were about 1.7 meters tall on average, with strong builds and green skin. Their facial features were similar to humans, but they had no hair, eyebrows, or beards. Their attire was very uniform, all in black clothes, black pants, and black boots, looking very sharp. The first Morgadaran to emerge was also wearing a black leather trench coat.
There were a total of twenty-one of them. As they all emerged from the spaceship, they formed a disciplined formation. The one in the black trench coat stood at the front, with the others forming two rows of ten behind him. After forming up, they marched in step towards the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor, looking at these cosmic robbers, said to Xiaojie, "I'm really sorry. You just arrived and now have to face this situation. I didn't expect these guys to act so quickly."
Before Xiaojie could respond, Zhuzi spoke up, "I also didn't expect them to be so bold as to directly invade the five-dimensional space."
"It's okay. What's meant to come will come. There's no avoiding it, so we can only face it calmly," said Yue Nannan thoughtfully. After speaking, she glanced at Furli standing beside the Yellow Emperor. Furli was also looking at her. Neither of them avoided the other's gaze, but both showed some uneasy anxiety.
The Morgadarans stopped about ten meters from the Yellow Emperor and the others. The one in the black trench coat took a step forward, scanning the crowd with a condescending look.
