World Version Updates-Chapter 522 - 322: The Altered Constant (Part 2)

The constants, or fundamental parameters, represented by some key information within the spiritual energy characters forming the core logic of the Heavenly Dao Code seemed to have undergone an incomprehensible substitution.

It was precisely this substitution at the level of fundamental constants that caused the final resolution of the three underlying protocols of the Soul Computer to be subverted at its root.

"Why would this happen?" Lu Yan's brows furrowed tightly, perplexed.

And at that moment, an even stranger thing occurred.

Before Lu Yan's eyes, the very first-generation Heavenly Dao Code that he had just personally written with Magical Power began to quietly transform at a visible pace.

Several small characters, originally containing special meanings, began to twist and change spontaneously, without any external force intervening.

Ultimately, their emerging shapes astonishingly aligned with the erroneous patterns of those false Heavenly Dao Codes circulating within this cyber version, constantly evolving and correcting.

Throughout the process, Lu Yan felt no fluctuation at the rule level, nor did he perceive any interference at the causal level.

This change seemed as natural as water flowing downhill or apples falling from a tree when ripe—a phenomenon akin to the laws of nature.

Lu Yan's gaze grew extremely somber.

Without immediately intervening to prevent this bizarre transformation, he extended his finger once again, writing out a string of the identical first-generation Heavenly Dao Code in the void.

Then, with a thought, the Supreme Divine Technique of Creation and Transformation quietly activated.

His immensely powerful Divine Sense, following the guide of Creation and Transformation, opened up a subtle Heaven and Earth Net, minutely monitoring every abnormal fluctuation and rule phenomenon within the surrounding space, silently waiting for that bizarre change to happen again within the first-generation Heavenly Dao Code.

This time, under the near-all-knowing Great Divine Techniques like Creation and Transformation, Lu Yan finally succeeded in capturing a trace of the clue hidden behind the strange changes of the Heavenly Dao Code.

"It's the constants!"

"It's the physical constants of this world!" Lu Yan's tone was filled with incredulous shock.

"Some unknown power has secretly modified the physical constants of this cyberpunk version.

Thus causing the content of the Heavenly Dao Code to undergo fundamental inversion during parsing and manifestation."

Lu Yan finally understood that if he merely compared it within the internal cyberpunk version, due to all Heavenly Dao Codes being affected by this change in constants, coupled with the inability to parse the code, it was difficult to notice the problem within.

However, the piece of paper he held recorded the most original Heavenly Dao Code and had experienced version changes.

After that version update, the code composed of Spirit Runes on the paper automatically transformed into conventional computer programming language of the urban version.

Because of this, he could directly convert and parse out the detailed content of the underlying protocol via the computer.

And when he brought this already transformed paper back into this cyberpunk version, the constant changes within this world would also indirectly affect the Heavenly Dao Code on the paper.

Only because the code on the paper was already in the form of programming language, its changes could be more intuitively analyzed and presented by computers.

And the biggest flaw in this situation was Lu Yan's memory.

If Lu Yan had always lived within the cyber version, he would never have become aware of all the changes happening.

Just like creatures living in the mysterious version, unable to perceive the stagnation of historical progress.

Thinking of this, for the first time, a genuinely moving expression appeared on Lu Yan's face.

He was well aware that in this cyberpunk version where the worldview centers around technology, mathematical constants were the absolute cornerstone forming all technological theories and real-world rules.

This was entirely different from the so-called laws manipulated and twisted at will by Nascent Soul Stage and Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators through their own Magical Power in the Cultivation World.

The laws manipulated by cultivators often had their influence restricted within a specific area.

And once the continuous support of the cultivator's own Magical Power was lost, those twisted laws would quickly be automatically restored to a normal state by the world's corrective force.

But the alteration involving the fundamental mathematical constants of the entire world was an utter, transformative modification of the entire world's cognitive system and real-world rules.

Its difficulty was immense, its impact profound, nearly comparable to the gods in the mysterious version sealing off the progress of history.

If not for Lu Yan possessing memories of the last cyber version, his position nearly unique in this world, impervious to influence by external forces, he would have long succumbed.

"Could this be the handiwork of that Intelligent God?"

Such a thought immediately sprang to Lu Yan's mind.

But soon, he negated this hypothesis.

Although the so-called Intelligent God did indeed exist as akin to a cyber Dao in this cyberpunk version, possessing nearly omnipotent power,

Ultimately, it was still not the true Heavenly Dao, nor the unique entity of this world.

To accomplish modification of the fundamental mathematical constants of the entire world, especially when these constants pertained to the core existence as the underlying Spiritual Ability Program of the Intelligent God, the difficulty was not something the Intelligent God could easily achieve by its own power.

"Could it be... there is interference from other unknown forces behind this matter?"

Lu Yan fell into deeper contemplation.

But the information he currently held was far too scant to allow an accurate judgment about the possible manipulators behind it.

However, one thing Lu Yan could now be certain of was that the current City No.14, despite maintaining a facade of independence and freedom, likely did so deliberately under the influence of the Intelligent God.

The forged Heavenly Dao Codes could not impose any substantial restrictions on the present Intelligent God.

If it wished, it could completely monitor everything within City No.14 with its own power, even envelop the Celestial Dome over the city to obliterate all rebellious forces.

Since it did not do so, there must be deeper, unknown reasons hidden behind this matter.

"Is that Intelligent God trying to use City No.14 to lure out all lurking rebels?

Or could it have some other more significant purpose?"

Lu Yan's brows tightened further.

Initially, Lu Yan believed the cyber version was just a unique system, compounded by a near-cyber Dao Intelligent God causing dire crises.

Yet as he entered the cyber version a second time, the deeper he understood the cyber version, the clearer he felt the waters run perilously deep here.

The elusive cyber Dao, the Soul Computers continuously evolving into nearly god-like Intelligent God, the Celestial Dome now connecting to the Sea of Spiritual Energy of the world's very source...

All these seemed like impenetrable mists, covering over this world, enveloping Lu Yan's heart.

"Let it be!"

Lu Yan lightly waved his sleeve, the Supreme Divine Techniques of Creation and Transformation shrouded the entire God Research Institute, erasing all traces of cause and effect.

"You, Intelligent God, have layered your schemes, but I too am not without my maneuvers."

Thinking here, flashes appeared in Lu Yan's mind about the information previously instructed by Sain.

It concerned Lu Yan's meticulously cultivated Enlora King Anna in the mysterious version; she was not bound by the uniqueness of the mysterious version and had joined the cyber version with the update.

In this world, she lost the worship of Union citizens but gained a title akin to the mysterious version.

Cyber Saint!
