Abyss Silkall continued.
There is a very special hidden route.
It goes directly from the Trailblaze origin point, Pegana, to the frontier world Firati.
There are no stops in between.
Aha shared this hidden route with me.
Screwllum immediately began searching his internal database.
Keyword identified — Firati.
He soon reported the result.
Firati is the location where the Astral Express navigator and several Trailblazers disappeared.
The new navigator, Oakley, assumed command of the train there.
Screwllum concluded.
It appears this place contains unknown secrets.
Thank you for sharing this information, Ms. Abyss.
Lin Yi sighed.
So many interesting things that require time to research...
And every one of them is fascinating.
My indecisiveness is acting up.
But still... thank you for telling us.
Then Lin Yi spoke seriously.
And regarding what we were discussing earlier...
Abyss.
I accept your proposal.
I am willing to share wisdom with you.
But another thought rose in his mind.
If the Quantum Star Chain truly worked as she described...
Then theoretically...
Could it integrate the wisdom of all geniuses?
Silkall did not answer immediately.
And so—
inside Elias Salas's Banquet Dimension,
with Screwllum as witness,
Lin Yi and Abyss established their connection.
This became the first Wisdom Link.
The beginning of a future where mortal intelligence might surpass the gods.
Their souls...
their thoughts...
their intelligence...
began to intertwine.
From a higher perspective—
Lin Yi and Abyss had become almost a single being.
It resembled the collective unity of the Path of Harmony.
But it was fundamentally different.
Because there was only one individual—
who was both:
Lin Yi.
Abyss Silkall.
This was not Harmony.
This was Unity.
At that moment—
the fog veiling Lin Yi's future lifted slightly.
He glimpsed a path.
The Path of Unity.
Imaginary energy surged violently through reality.
Then it slowly calmed.
Because this moment was only the first step in opening that road.
Lin Yi suddenly remembered something.
When he had first visited the Garden of Recollection, Fuli had once spoken to him.
Those words resurfaced in his mind:
Your paradise-born intention is already clear.
Do not alter it lightly.
All things end.
Your empty memory is like flowing water.
When the final moment arrives, unity will come.
The time is uncertain—one must seize it cleverly.
Lin Yi still did not fully understand their meaning.
But one word stood out.
Unity.
Perhaps Fuli had warned him long ago.
But that raised another question.
Why could the Aeon of Remembrance also see the future?
Before he could think further—
a new sensation overwhelmed him.
He finally understood what Silkall had meant earlier.
It will become difficult to distinguish you from me.
Inspiration.
The concept itself was subtle.
Almost impossible to explain with words.
To share inspiration, two minds first had to fully understand each other's way of thinking.
After all—
no one could wield inspiration better than the one who created it.
Under the synchronization of quantum ripples,
Lin Yi and Silkall entered an entangled mental state.
Their thoughts synchronized second by second.
You are me.
I am you.
Lin Yi saw Silkall's past.
She had remained alone inside the Meta-Domain for countless years.
Lin Yi thought:
You really are a hardcore shut-in.
Wouldn't anyone go insane living alone that long?
Silkall casually replied within the shared consciousness:
You get used to it.
Then Lin Yi saw something else.
Whenever Silkall acted in the outside world—
if she did not maintain constant interference,
her actions would quickly be erased by Nihility.
Lin Yi immediately understood.
So that's why no one in the universe knows about you.
Meanwhile, Silkall saw Lin Yi's memories.
She was stunned.
Wait... what?
A genius who used to be completely ordinary?
Lin Yi replied:
Fate works in mysterious ways.
But Silkall noticed something strange.
Your memories feel... slightly off.
I can't explain why.
Lin Yi reacted instantly.
You noticed something?!
Silkall answered honestly.
I can't pinpoint it.
But it seems important to you.
Lin Yi then realized something else.
So this is what mental entanglement feels like.
It's amazing.
But doesn't this mean we have zero privacy?
Silkall explained:
Strong willpower can block shared perception.
Dominion Logic also allows one-way closure of the link.
She tested it.
Yes. If we close the connection, the entanglement temporarily stops.
Then she added something important.
That means when I explore Nihility again, the connection won't endanger you.
Lin Yi immediately stopped her.
Wait.
Don't close it yet.
Let me experience this feeling a little longer.
Silkall was clearly enjoying it.
This feeling of endless inspiration...
I haven't felt it in ages.
Then she began exploring Lin Yi's thoughts.
She encountered things like:
Planetary gravity weapons.
Neutron annihilation.
Happy Angel weapons.
Ether engines.
Silkall was bewildered.
What are these?!
She switched topics.
Then she saw Lin Yi's theoretical ideas:
Path speculation.
Possibility of godhood.
Tree–Sea cosmology.
Silkall was impressed.
But then she encountered another idea.
Her eyes widened.
Wait... what?!
Using the Quantum Star Chain to connect all geniuses...
And unify human intelligence?!
She gasped.
We only connected a few seconds ago!
How are you already more familiar with my system than I am?!
Then she added nervously:
The probability of success is extremely low...
But if it actually worked...
She stopped herself.
Then she evaluated Lin Yi honestly.
Your inspiration is... unique.
Extremely unique.
Your ideas may not fully align with my current research.
Still...
Viewing problems through your perspective produced unexpected results.
Lin Yi replied calmly.
If you feel uncomfortable, we can disconnect.
Even though we're tightly linked...
We are still two individuals.
Or maybe still one?
Silkall clearly loved the sensation of restored inspiration.
But Lin Yi felt uneasy.
His thinking speed had risen drastically.
His mind alone now surpassed the computing power of Laplace's Demon.
But sharing two minds inside one consciousness felt strange.
He needed time to adapt.
The clarity of thought was addictive.
Lin Yi finally understood how geniuses thought.
But there was also danger.
If he became accustomed to relying on Silkall's intellect—
then losing that connection later would be painful.
After all...
it was still external power.
Silkall agreed.
Being able to freely close the entanglement through Dominion Logic is a good thing.
It means we still have a choice.
