Yan Xing took over the conversation. "Chui Chui has roughly explained our deductions about the world chanism. The world chanism can detect ’Contrary,’ which ans it has the ability to collect world data without omission. The world chanism cannot predict ’Contrary,’ aning it isn’t capable of processing all data. This also ans..."
Chui Chui interjected, "Its data processing capabilities have a limit. Even if it exhausts all the world’s energy, it still couldn’t complete all the data processing. I have the most authority to speak on this. Only after it discovers ’Contrary’ does it use ’Contrary’ as a keyword to find future ’Executioners’ who could potentially kill ’Contrary’."
Max seized the most crucial point. "A limit ans it’s not invincible."
"Exactly!" Yan Xing felt his own train of thought clearing as they analyzed. "Your resistance wasn’t a complete failure. Your ability to penetrate this world implies a delay in the cultivation of ’Executioners.’ Five ’Contraries’ are already enough to overwhelm the data processing capabilities of the world chanism. The world chanism is a bit underwhelming!"
Knowing his resistance hadn’t been futile, Max instantly beca excited. Yes, being able to track the ’Executioners’ back was a breakthrough in itself!
"What you an is... as long as there are enough simultaneous ’Contraries,’ the world chanism’s data processing capacity will beco saturated. If the pace of ’Executioner’ training drops, ’Contraries’ could potentially turn the tables on the ’Executioners.’"
Yan Xing knocked his chopsticks on Max’s head. "I’m here discussing how to deal with the world chanism, and you’re talking about killing ’Executioners’? I *am* an Executioner. Believe it or not, I might just execute you first."
Max repeatedly apologized, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was too excited. I don’t even rember how many years it’s been; that battle has been weighing on like a mountain. The feeling right now, it’s truly wonderful."
Yan Xing could feel a significant change in Max, and the trust between them had deepened.
"Don’t be too happy just yet; these are still just our deductions. But at least we have a viable strategy..." Turning to Chui Chui, Yan Xing then said, "This is your area of expertise. Do you have any suggestions?"
Chui Chui thought seriously for a mont before speaking. "Let summarize. First, the world chanism is just sothing for data collection and processing. We still don’t know exactly what it is. However, it certainly doesn’t possess divine power. This is because it has to deal with ’Contraries’ who have obtained divine power and ’Executioners’ who are temporarily granted it; there’s no reason to endow the world chanism itself with divine power. If it had divine power... with us plotting loudly here, it would’ve already sent divine punishnt to annihilate us all."
Chui Chui’s words made everyone look up at the sky. The weather was nice, showing no signs of impending divine punishnt.
"Continue," Yan Xing urged.
"Second, the world chanism lacks wisdom. If it were intelligent, it would definitely have annihilated us all with lightning by now."
"Can you not keep ntioning us getting annihilated?" Yan Xing scolded.
"Yes, yes, yes, Master... I’m sorry, Master." Chui Chui hurriedly apologized. "I was just joking. With wisdom cos desire, and with desire cos mistakes. The intelligent processors I develop for databases are absolutely not allowed to possess wisdom. There’s a specialized program that regularly scans the processors. Once it detects any awakening of Junior Intelligence, it imdiately transfers the program segnt and repairs the system where the segnt was removed. This is how accuracy and efficiency are ensured.
"Third, the world chanism has a capacity limit. The ergence of just five ’Contraries’ caused it to experience a delay. Mr. Max, producing five ’Contraries’ at the sa ti must be very rare, right?"
Max replied, "Obtaining divine power is not an easy thing; it’s considered good if even one ’Contrary’ appears every few thousand years. We are an extrely rare exception. That was a war affecting the entire world—the *true* entire world. All ultimate beings were awakened and participated. The heavens and earth were turned upside down. Civilizations were nearly obliterated. At that ti, all we did was fight, for who knows how long. Eventually, we even forgot why the war started and what we were fighting for. Just when I was feeling lost, at a particular mont, I suddenly broke through a long-standing bottleneck. My spirit instantly felt as if it could encompass the entire universe. At my whim, the dead revived. I could freely alter energy, shaping it as I desired. That feeling... it was like I was a god." Max drifted into his recollections.
Yan Xing knocked on his head with a chopstick again. "Get to the point!"
"Right, right, the point... Since then, I began to devote myself to ending that senseless war. And I t four other heroes who, like , had obtained divine power in the war. One of them was even my arch-enemy. We could see the world as the other saw it, so we shook hands and made peace. And that’s how the war ended. The war created us, but I don’t wish to start another war of that scale just to create more of us."
Yan Xing said, "I’ve read about that war in the history books, and I can guess who you five might be, but I don’t know which one you are. It’s your right to keep a secret. All I hope is that you can give us... whatever help you can in our research on divine power."
"Let’s leave the professional stuff to ," Chui Chui took the initiative this ti to start her explanation. "A world chanism created who knows how many years ago couldn’t possibly have anticipated the changes in today’s world. Its outdated system probably can’t keep up with the tis anymore. For example, it definitely didn’t foresee that we would make mass-producing gods feasible."
"Mass... mass-producing gods?" Max’s jaw dropped. Gods... can be mass-produced?
Yan Xing reminded Chui Chui from the side, "Be more professional."
"Yes, Master, more professional." Chui Chui explained to Max the Nine-Headed Dragon Database plan she designed. "...At least theoretically, we can use the consciousness particles of the Nine-Headed Dragon to replicate a virtual Nine-Headed Dragon consciousness, thereby gaining its divine power authority. By continuously replicating this digitized divine power authority and then shaping bodies with energy, we can create gods. In essence, divine power is rely the authority to use the world’s rules, enabling the transformation between energy and matter. The key to obtaining this authority lies within the Nine-Headed Dragon’s consciousness particles, and it’s also latent within your own consciousness, Max. Although the Nine-Headed Dragon’s consciousness was scattered, and while your own consciousness is insufficient to free you from your seal, enough of it remains for you to wield a portion of your divine power."
Yan Xing asked Max, "If I take you back to your world, could you break the seal?"
Max asked Yan Xing, "You want to take back?"
He had kidnapped Tong Yitong in the hope of using the spatial coordinates left by Yan Xing to return to the Magic World. But to Max’s surprise, Yan Xing was actually offering to take him back this ti.
"I feel that your trust in now is enough for to trust you," Yan Xing stated.
Max laughed. "No, I’m not going back now. Even if the seal on is lifted, my strength wouldn’t recover quickly, and I might not even be able to control my body. And the appearance of a ’Contrary’ will inevitably lead to the ergence of a corresponding ’Executioner.’ This is an unpredictable variable for us. Not every ’Executioner’ is as easy to talk to as you, and the world chanism will inevitably create conditions under which I would be forced to fight them. I’ll continue to enjoy modern life here. You go find my body; I hope it will help you with your research on divine power."
Yan Xing asked Max, "Are you willing to entrust your body to ?"
Max laughed. "Your trust in now is enough for to trust you. After listening to Chui Chui, I realize that I’ve been out of touch with the tis for too long. Going back wouldn’t be much help to you and might even cause trouble."
Yan Xing laughed heartily. "How can you not be of help? You are so wealthy, lend so money..."
