Hobert explained, "The fourth dimension is definitely not length, width, and height, but an additional dimension on top of length, width, and height. In that dimension, we are like paper figures in three dimensions.
However, thinking about how we could travel through closed spaces in the spirit world, the fourth dimension must be able to easily jump out of the other three dimensions.
It's like drawing a circle on paper. If there were two-dimensional creatures, the circle would be an insurmountable barrier for the creatures within.
But if we have the third dimension, we can simply walk and step out of a circle on the ground."
Alger exclaimed, "This is a very logical new discovery! It, its theory seems to be very mature."
Hobert smiled and shook his head: "In short, we have to walk around this kind of two-dimensional space. You saw just now that once you enter it, you lose your thickness when you come out, and we become paper figures."
This reminded him of a very classic science fiction novel he saw in the AD era.
Alger nodded, but then he had a new question: "When we return from the spirit world to the real world, why don't we feel the damage caused by the dimensions?"
Hobert smiled and said, "That's because we are returning from a higher dimension to a lower dimension. A higher dimension can contain a lower dimension, just like there are planes in the real world. So when we enter a higher dimension, we as lower dimensions will not be harmed by the dimensions.
"But when a higher-dimensional creature enters a lower dimension, such as the two of us entering the two-dimensional space in front of us, then we will lose our thickness. I don't know if there is a way to recover it. Anyway, I haven't thought of a way to recover it."
The two of them talked about this issue while detouring around the two-dimensional space in front of them.
Alger was a little strange: "Then where did these two-dimensional spaces come from? Theoretically speaking, the spirit world is a high-dimensional space, but I have never heard of any place that corresponds to a two-dimensional space."
Hobert was also a little puzzled: "It doesn't seem to be a product of the fusion and distortion of the real world and the spirit world."
He didn't understand where it came from specifically.
These two-dimensional spaces are not difficult to bypass, and they show no signs of expansion, like fruit particles in jelly, with a clear distinction from the surrounding space, but irrelevant.
The two of them had to detour while trying to stay away from the mist as much as possible. Although the mist looked harmless, who knows what the scene inside the mist is like.
Today, we can explore the area outside the mist first, and it will not be too late to explore inside the mist when we have time in the future.
They walked until noon and arrived at the mountain in the center of the island. At the foot of the mountain, they found a freshwater stream and some long-abandoned elven ruins.
At the same time, they saw a building like a palace. This building has a typical elven style and looks relatively well-preserved.
The two of them were prepared and brought some food and water. At this time, they each ate a simple lunch and rested for a while before starting to explore the palace.
After entering the main hall, Hobert discovered that this should be a temple. In the middle is an altar and a statue covered with dust, and the surrounding walls are murals.
However, the statue is very strange. It is a multi-angled, multi-faceted, and multi-edged crystal-like structure. Each of its sides is engraved with some mystifying symbols, as if each side represents a different meaning.
Hobert was stunned for a long time before asking Alger, "Have you seen this kind of statue? Is this a statue?"
Could this be the abstract image of the "Elf King"?
Alger shook his head: "I have never seen such a belief."
Then Hobert was attracted by the murals on the wall. The order of the murals is from left to right, one after another.
The first picture is a battle scene. The main character in the mural is an elven king with pointed ears and blue hair. He is stepping on the waves, surrounded by storms, and holding a lightning spear.
Hobert believed that this should be the image of the Elf King. He is leading the elves to fight against the dragons. This depicts a war in the Second Epoch.
It seems that the elves living on this island have a long history. The second picture is still the Elf King, fighting against a great figure exuding sunlight.
Alger guessed: "That is, is that the Eternal Blazing Sun? No, is it the Ancient Sun God?"
Hobert nodded and went to see the next mural. As a result, this mural depicts a scene of hell on earth. A group of people holding crosses and emitting light from their other hands are hunting elves.
Some elves were beheaded, some elven women were being insulted, and some elves' heads were cut off and hung on spears, like a declaration or deterrence.
This is definitely the dark history of the Ancient Sun God, but Hobert felt that this should be the truth of history. When the spiritual leader and power leader of a race fall at the same time, most elves should be slaughtered or enslaved.
After all, although the Ancient Sun God is much more rational than the ancient gods, He must still have a distorted and crazy side. His divinity is greater than his humanity, and He will not stop His believers from carrying out such massacres.
Only a part of the elves, under the protection of the saint, escaped to some islands to survive.
Hobert didn't think this was so cruel, because before that, humans were the ones who were enslaved and slaughtered.
The next mural shows the elves performing some curses, and on the other side, the sun fell to the ground.
Hobert pondered for a while before he understood. The elves on this island believed that their curse caused the Ancient Sun God to fall. They may also know that such an idea is a bit far-fetched, but it is more refreshing for them to draw it like this.
A stone door separated the murals. Hobert passed through the stone door and continued to look down. On the new murals, an elven leader is leading the elves to fight against a group of people wearing Storm Church costumes.
Alger's heart tightened when he saw this mural. Although the costumes of the Storm Church on the mural are clearly different from the current ones, he certainly knew that this represented the people of the Storm Church.
He didn't expect that there was such a history.
Hobert believed that this battle should have taken place in the Fourth Epoch. It is said that there were still many elves on the sea at that time, but by the Fifth Epoch, elves and giants had basically disappeared.
Of course, they would not disappear for no reason. That was "A History of Human Rise". Whether on land or at sea, humans became the undisputed protagonists, and the remaining elves could only escape to small islands like this at the edge of the world to live.
Continuing to look down, the history of this group of elves did not end there. Suddenly, one day, the sea suddenly became violent. The elf saint holding a scepter and wearing a golden ring blocked the violence of the sea around the island, forming a spectacle like an iron barrel.
Immediately afterwards, the saint holding the scepter seemed to hear a voice from the void.
