Chapter 900
Li Yang took a deep breath and quickly sorted out the current situation in his mind.
The City of Eternal Night continues to split and expand after gaining freedom. Each split body carries fragments of the source code. When these split bodies collide and merge with each other, a new existence that is more powerful and uncontrollable will be born.
If left unchecked, the entire reality will be rewritten.
But the toughest thing now is that they must not only bring the city back to the constraints of the rules, but also try to control this crazy expansion.
At this moment, Li Yang suddenly noticed a detail:
"Wait... Did you notice that the behavior patterns of those splinters don't seem to be completely random?"
Bai Zhi immediately understood what he meant:
"Yes, they seem to be looking for some kind of... balance."
[Observer] carefully observed the flow of energy:
"That's right, every split and fusion stops for a moment at a specific node."
"It's like...waiting for some kind of recognition."
Li Yang's eyes lit up:
"Sure enough, this is the key!"
"The city was free, but it was still looking for some new order."
"Not rules imposed by external forces, but a balance chosen by itself."
[Eternal] Thoughtful:
"So what we have to do is not to suppress it by force..."
"It's about helping it find this most critical balance point..."
But just then, a loud noise interrupted their conversation.
Two more split bodies collided, and the energy fluctuations produced this time were more violent than before.
The space is severely distorted, and there is even a phenomenon of time regression.
Bai Zhi suddenly exclaimed:
"Something's wrong...the fusion seems to have failed this time."
Sure enough, the two split bodies did not form a new structure as before, but fell into some kind of chaos.
Powerful energy rushes back and forth in it, like a bomb that may explode at any time.
[Observer] quickly calculates:
"If this runaway fusion is allowed to continue..."
"The storm of concepts generated is enough to tear apart the entire space and time!"
Li Yang immediately realized that they must take action immediately.
But before that, there is a key issue that needs to be clarified:
"So...why did the fusion fail this time?"
He reconnected with the source code and tried to find the answer.
Suddenly, a discovery shocked him:
"Interesting...these two splinters carry mutually exclusive fragments of source code."
Bai Zhi immediately understood the problem:
"In other words, when the city was divided, the source code also had some kind of differentiation?"
"That's right." Li Yang analyzed quickly,
"The pieces are like puzzle pieces and you have to find the right way to fit them together."
"Forcing fusion of mutually exclusive fragments will only lead to crashes."
[Observer]’s voice suddenly became urgent:
"Things are getting worse!"
"The concept is spreading and has affected other schismatics."
"Their movements are starting to get confusing."
Sure enough, the originally regular process of division and fusion was completely out of control.
More splinters with mutually exclusive source codes began to collide, and concepts emerged one after another.
The entire space was shaking violently, as if it might collapse at any time.
Bai Zhi held her body strong:
"Must...find a way to stabilize them..."
But conventional conceptual tentacles cannot get close to those chaotic energy vortices.
Li Yang stared at the scene in front of him, and suddenly an idea flashed:
"Maybe...we've been thinking in the wrong direction."
"Instead of passively adapting to their changes..."
"It's better to take the initiative to guide this process."
[Eternal] immediately understood his thoughts:
"You mean, taking advantage of the characteristics of the source code..."
"To reassemble these split bodies?"
"Yes." Li Yang said quickly,
"It's probably like solving a puzzle... or opening a safe. We have to find the correct sequence of combinations from a bunch of passwords."
However, this plan currently has a fatal risk:
Someone had to come into direct contact with the out-of-control source code fragments and withstand the energy shock enough to tear apart the consciousness.
Moreover, if you are not careful, you will be involved in the concept and be wiped out.
Li Yang took a deep breath:
"Let me do it."
"I have the deepest connection with source code and the greatest success rate."
Bai Zhi grabbed his hand:
"Too dangerous!"
"If something goes wrong, it's not just you who disappears..."
"The whole world could collapse!"
Li Yang smiled faintly:
"But now, is there any other choice besides this?"
The voice of [Observer] sounded again:
"The concept is spreading at an accelerated pace..."
"According to current trends, ten minutes at most..."
"The entire space will completely collapse!"
Time was running out and there was no room for them to hesitate.
Li Yang looked at the others:
"I need your cooperation."
"[Observer], you are responsible for tracking the movement of source code fragments."
"Angelica dahurica, use conceptual tentacles to establish a buffer zone around the perimeter."
"[Eternal], keep the nodes stable and provide me with energy support."
After saying that, he walked towards the nearest concept without hesitation.
Violent energy raged around him, threatening to tear him into pieces at any moment.
But Li Yang's consciousness was clearer than ever before.
Through the connection with the source code, he began to perceive the characteristics of each fragment.
Just like interpreting a book written in an unknown language, he was looking for rules in the chaos.
Gradually, some wonderful connections emerged in his consciousness.
These seemingly chaotic fragments actually implied a certain rhythm.
Like a fragmented symphony, it needs to be rearranged in the correct order.
"... Found it!"
Li Yang suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his hands at the same time.
In an instant, two mutually exclusive source code fragments were locked by his consciousness.
Severe pain swept through his body, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
Under his guidance, the two fragments began to approach in a completely new way.
Not forced fusion, but forming a kind of dynamic balance.
Just like Yin and Yang Tai Chi, complementary rather than opposing.
"It actually... succeeded?" Bai Zhi looked at this scene in disbelief.
But Li Yang knew that this was just the beginning.
He must find the correct combination of all the fragments before his consciousness completely collapses.
This is a life-and-death game racing against time.
And he had no way to retreat.
As the first set of source code was successfully reorganized, Li Yang felt a strange rhythm.
At this moment, a shocking change occurred.
The reorganized source code fragments suddenly produced a certain resonance, forming a new energy field.
Li Yang immediately noticed something was wrong:
"Wait... this fluctuation..."
The voice of [Observer] was filled with rare panic:
"This energy is gathering rapidly..."
"There is a certain resonance effect between the source code fragments!"
Bai Zhi's eyes widened:
"They are influencing each other, just like... like dominoes!"
Indeed, the reorganization of the first set of source code seemed to have triggered a chain reaction.
Other fragments began to spontaneously look for matching objects and combined with each other in an unpredictable way.
The situation was getting out of control, and Li Yang immediately realized the problem.
"No, this resonance must be interrupted..."
But it was too late.
As more and more source code fragments were reorganized, a huge energy vortex formed above the City of Eternal Night.
It was like a huge black hole, emitting a palpitating attraction.
