Chapter 896: Choose your destiny
Li Yang stared at the Tower of Babel, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes:
"How do you know where the limit is if you don't try?"
He turned to Bai Zhi: "Can you still control your conceptual tentacles?"
Beads of sweat oozed from Angelica dahurica's forehead:
"Barely...okay."
"Then take a gamble."
Li Yang said and began to analyze the situation:
"The Tower of Babel may indeed not be able to withstand it, but it will at least buy us time."
[Observer] immediately understood his intention:
"You mean... use the tower as a buffer?"
"That's right." Li Yang quickly explained,
"Even if the tower will collapse, the gradual collapse process is better than a direct explosion of energy."
The chaos in the sky intensified.
The energy released by countless concepts in their self-annihilation has distorted space itself.
The existence of rules is constantly struggling in this chaos, but it can never get rid of the entanglement of those crazy concepts.
Li Yang made a prompt decision:
"Baizhi, you are responsible for guiding the energy."
"[Eternity], creates a time deceleration field around the tower."
"[Observers] monitor the energy concentration at all times and tell us if they notice any changes in it."
Hearing this, several people took action quickly.
Bai Zhi controlled the concept tentacles and carefully directed the violent energy to the Tower of Babel.
[Eternity] has deployed multiple time fields around the tower in an attempt to slow down the impact of energy.
But the next moment, a strange change suddenly occurred.
With the injection of chaotic energy, strange patterns began to appear on the surface of the Tower of Babel.
Those lines resemble some ancient writing, yet are full of the texture of future technology.
"This is..."
[Observer] pupils suddenly shrank,
"The tower is... evolving itself?"
Obviously, as the core building of the City of Eternal Night, the Tower of Babel itself contains possibilities that transcend convention.
Stimulated by chaotic energy, it begins to show its true face.
Those weird lines are getting denser and denser, gradually outlining a huge three-dimensional pattern.
Li Yang observed carefully and found that the pattern looked like an overhead view of a city and a magic circle for some mysterious ritual.
"Interesting..." the voice of rules suddenly sounded,
"It turns out that this is the true form of the City of Eternal Night..."
The truth seems to have just emerged.
Although I don't know the reason...
But obviously, the Tower of Babel is not just a building, but the "source code" of the entire City of Eternal Night.
It records the most essential rules and structures of the city.
Now, those rules are being rewritten.
Chaotic conceptual energy is injected into the tower, constantly impacting those ancient codes.
New rules are being born and the old order is collapsing.
The whole city began to shake violently.
Streets twist, buildings collapse and reform, the sky is torn and healed.
But there's an eerie rhythm to it all, like a carefully choreographed show of chaos.
Li Yang observed all this and suddenly realized the key:
"This isn't a collapse... it's a refactoring!"
The Tower of Babel is using these chaotic energies to redefine the existence of the City of Eternal Night.
And this reconstruction has even begun to affect the existence of the rules themselves.
The supreme being showed a panicked look for the first time:
"No...impossible! How dare you!"
Li Yang smiled coldly:
"It's not us who dare, it's the city that chooses its own destiny."
The changes in the Tower of Babel became more and more intense, and those mysterious lines began to spread to the surroundings, gradually covering the entire City of Eternal Night.
Every street and every building was saturated with this strange energy, as if the entire city had become a huge magic circle.
The voice of Rule Existence was filled with unprecedented anger:
"You are playing with fire! You have no way of predicting the consequences of reconstructing the city's basic code!"
"Sometimes," Bai Zhi said softly, "the most dangerous choice is actually the safest."
Her conceptual tendrils were still channeling energy, but now it seemed to have a will of its own.
They actively flocked to those lines, as if they had found the most suitable container.
[Observer]’s voice suddenly rose:
"The energy concentration is decreasing rapidly! But...but this isn't right..."
"What's wrong?" Li Yang asked.
[Observer] looked a little confused:
"It stands to reason that energy doesn't disappear in a vacuum, but now they are indeed decreasing."
"It's like...being absorbed by something."
At this moment, there was a sudden violent tremor on the ground.
Everyone looked down and saw that the spreading lines began to form some kind of special pattern on the surface.
"This is..." [Eternity] narrowed his eyes,
"Some kind of older script?"
Indeed, the arrangement of those lines increasingly resembles a long-lost language.
They flow on the ground, constantly changing shapes, as if they are telling something.
Suddenly, Bai Zhi's pupils shrank:
"Wait, I think I can understand something..."
In her perception, these words actually began to convey information to her.
It is an extremely ancient conceptual language, more primitive than any human writing.
"This city..." Bai Zhi said slowly,
"It seems to be telling us its true identity."
"The City of Eternal Night is not just a city, but a huge concept experiment field."
"It is the [laboratory] left by the ancient creators of the rules."
Everyone became a little quieter because of this discovery.
The voice of the Rule Existence also became solemn: "So you finally discovered the truth..."
Li Yang thought: "No wonder there are so many exiled concepts gathered here, no wonder the rules are so special here..."
"But now..." Bai Zhi continued,
"The city has made a new choice, it wants to reconstruct itself into a brand new form of existence."
The Tower of Babel suddenly burst into a dazzling light, which contained countless information flows.
Every corner of the city resonated at this moment.
The Rule Existence seemed to realize something terrible:
"No! Wait, stop! You are destroying the foundation of the world!"
But it was too late. As the last energy was injected into the Tower of Babel, the entire City of Eternal Night suddenly fell into a strange silence.
And then, an even more amazing change began to happen.
Every part of the city began to deconstruct, like a piece of code being rewritten.
Buildings are broken down into their most basic geometric forms, and then reassembled in a completely new way.
Streets become flowing rivers of light, weaving a complex network in the air.
The voice of the existence of rules is full of shock and unwillingness:
"You...what did you do..."
Li Yang looked at this strange scene and said calmly:
"It's not what we did..."
"It's this city that is choosing its own destiny."
The entire city is still changing dramatically.
Those buildings are no longer simple geometric bodies, but present a flowing, organic form.
