As soon as Su Yu stepped onto the top floor of the Ice Tower, his whole body immediately became motionless.
The top floor of the Ice Tower is a void world, devoid of light, sound, temperature, energy...
It seems as though there’s nothing at all.
Although Su Yu had only climbed a flight of stairs, it felt as if he had entered another world.
This is a world of absolute silence, absolute zero.
The space here seems to have detached from reality, like the legendary black hole, devouring everything.
Any life or matter that enters can never come out again.
With no energy and no motion, how could one possibly leave?
And all of this, Su Yu had already anticipated before entering.
How could he not know the dangers of absolute zero?
Yet he still stepped in because...
"Indeed, at absolute low temperatures, all energy and matter cease to move."
"However, thought can still operate, truly fascinating..."
In the top floor of the Ice Tower, Qi Zhi mused to himself.
Before entering the top floor, he vaguely sensed emotional, mental, and informational fluctuations here.
As a Data Mechanic, combined with the dual divine status of an Evil God, Su Yu had a very keen sense for abstract things like emotions, thoughts, and information.
Su Yu was originally puzzled that the top floor of the Ice Tower was already at absolute zero.
Why was it still possible to sense the existence of emotion and thought?
But after thorough analysis, Su Yu came to understand.
Absolute zero physically cannot constrain the activities of the mind.
The thoughts and emotions of living beings appear at the surface to be just various chemical and physical reactions within the brain.
But, in truth, they are very mysterious, complex, and far from simple.
Even if the body is entirely destroyed, with no brain as a carrier and no energy, thought can still exist.
The simplest example is Subspace.
Abstract thoughts, emotions, concepts, and memories gather in Subspace, becoming powerful energy capable of leveraging the material world.
And now, the top floor of the Ice Tower, this space of absolute zero, is an artificially created place similar to Subspace.
Here, all activity of material reality has ceased.
Yet thoughts and emotions still exist, undergoing some peculiar changes.
How similar is this to Subspace?
However, this space of absolute zero is carved out within the material world, differing from Subspace.
"Is this the secret of the [Extreme Ice Agent]? The ability to create this special [Extreme Ice Space]?"
In fact, Su Yu could only ponder at that moment.
His body was already absolutely immobile.
Absolute zero brought his body, even the Brutal Battle Armor, to a halt.
The whole person was in stillness, only his thoughts continued to operate under mysterious principles.
Of course, Su Yu wasn’t entirely trapped there, unable to leave.
Because, as long as thought could operate, he could sense Subspace and draw in Spiritual Energy to "warm" himself.
As long as there was a sliver of energy, it would no longer be absolute zero, and Su Yu could naturally move.
This was how Su Yu managed to enter in the first place.
When he entered, his body still had temperature and energy, allowing him to move.
Once the energy in his body was absorbed by the surroundings, becoming absolute zero, he froze.
Suy Yu’s primary concern had been that at absolute zero even thought could not operate, rendering even the idea of escape lost.
Now, without that worry, he could explore this peculiar space at ease.
Of course, Su Yu was exceptionally powerful, with robust thinking capabilities to employ this method.
For an ordinary Seven-Star, or even Eight-Star strong fighter, entering here might make their thinking sluggish, making escape difficult.
After confirming he wouldn’t be trapped there, Su Yu began preparing to explore the peculiar space.
His body couldn’t move, so his method was to convert his thoughts into data, letting them extend outwards to explore.
This technique was often used by Fear Intelligence; as its master, Su Yu could naturally use it too.
A part of Su Yu’s thoughts transformed into a stream of data, leaving his immobile body to wander and explore in this absolute zero space of extreme ice.
"This place is quite large..."
The data of Su Yu’s thoughts wandered around his body in a circle.
The speed of thought was extremely fast; logically, he should have finished exploring this floor of the Ice Tower in an instant.
However, he neither found the boundary nor the entrance through which he came.
"It seems the space here has mutated, completely severed from the material world, and cannot be thought of using previous experiences."
Su Yu mused internally, his interest piqued, and his desire for research greatly increased.
As an Extraordinary Mechanic, his curiosity and desire for research were professional instincts.
Absolute zero, a low temperature only existing theoretically, was something Su Yu never had the chance to witness.
Even as an Eight-Star Transcendent, without the required abilities, he couldn’t create it.
Now he could witness it firsthand.
After exploring around his body without finding anything noteworthy, he ventured farther into the depths of this extreme ice space.
After exploring for a while, he suddenly paused, discovering a "object" ahead.
It was like a bubble, but not formed by real-world materials; rather, it was a fusion of various emotions, thoughts, and intents. In the data view, it appeared kaleidoscopic and fantastical.
"What is this thing? Is the mental activity sensed earlier coming from this?"
