The last Heavenly Net Base was cleared, and the entire world fell into a calm.
[A glorious battle...]
[...]
[Received a Golden Treasure Chest (Hero)]
[...]
Qin Muye looked at the completed mission with a sense of unreality erging within him.
"I...actually pitted my wits against the air!!!"
He had thought the Heavenly Net was on the third floor, but it turned out to be in the basent. After it was taken down in the Matrix World, the entire Heavenly Net had been driven to a dead end, so there was no such thing as a backup plan or anything else.
Qin Muye glanced at the Points Shop and had his dark hand exchange all the special items of the Sky Net Era tiline, be it Reclassification Certificates or Building blueprints. After the exchange and there were leftovers, he exchanged them for Epic Building Blueprints and Special Building Blueprints that were originally in the server.
Then, he checked out the two Divine Artifacts from his rewards, which he hadn't had the ti to look at while he was busy.
[Source of Spark]
[Rank: Divine Artifact]
[Attribute]
[Energy level within the territory 100%]
[All heroes and troops' daily Life Value Limit 10]
[All heroes and troops' daily Magic Value Limit 10]
[All heroes and troops' daily Attack Power 1]
[All heroes and troops' daily defensive power 1]
[All Puppet Type and chanical Troops permanently gain self-awareness]
[Puppet Type and chanical heroes gain a Leader Token when held]
...
[Strategic Defense System]
[Rank: Divine Artifact]
[Attribute]
[When a long-range attack invades the territory, the attack power increases (Rank) tis]
[When the territory is attacked, the Defense asures are enhanced (Territory Rank) tis effectively]
[When enemies enter the territory, they suffer (Rank × Defense effect) points of damage per second]
[When enemies attack from a distance, they will receive a counterattack dealing (Rank × Defense effect) points of damage]
[When enemies damage the territory, for each building destroyed there will be a temporary boost to all troops and heroes within the territory until the end of combat (Ordinary Level buildings increase 1% All Attributes, Rare Level buildings increase 3% All Attributes, Special buildings increase 5% All Attributes, Epic buildings increase 10% All Attributes, Miracle Level increases 50% All Attributes)]
[For every one of our troops and heroes killed by the enemy within the territory, the Defense effect of the territory is temporarily strengthened until the end of combat (Ordinary Level troops 1, Elite Level troops 5, Champion Level troops 10, Hero 10000)]
"So...how exactly is the territory's Defense effect quantified?" Qin Muye skipped over the Source of Spark, as it was useless to him; he didn't have any Puppet Type or chanical troops, so it could only be used for leveraging attributes and energy levels.
On the contrary, he was very pleased with the Strategic Defense System—it was the essence of the Heavenly Net. Though it probably wasn't as powerful as the Heavenly Net he dealt with, it could only be considered a regular artificial intelligence.
But its effects were indeed powerful, truly deserving of the word "Defense". If one were to compare, The End of All Things, a defensive Divine Artifact, would not match up to the Strategic Defense System.
However, this all depended on good Defense asures of one's own territory, otherwise it would basically be useless.
In other words, the Strategic Defense System would adjust based on the actual situation of the territory, which was very good news for Qin Muye.
His territory's defense was incredibly strong, whether it was Mysterious Lock or various Defense devices, none were comparable to an ordinary Lord.
But this Strategic Defense System had its limitations too—it was ineffective during normal tis and only activated when the territory was attacked or invaded. The greater the loss suffered by one's own side, the stronger the enhancent would be, making it a desperate gamble.
It's useful, but Qin Muye hoped he would never have to use it because if he does, it ans the enemy has already breached his territory, which is not good news. Therefore, he would rather keep it dormant than let this divine artifact have a chance to be utilized.
"If possible, outside the strategic defense system, the Spark Source, the Matrix World..."
Qin Muye looked at the object in his hand and glanced at the pile of blueprints he had exchanged from the points store. He wondered, if possible, could he rebuild Sky Net?
Not an ordinary Heavenly Net, but the one that included Terminator, the Hacker Empire, and Transforrs.
If it were not for the Matrix World, he might not have been able to recreate it, but if he did have it, it wouldn't be much of a problem.
"The premise is that the core is not the Rectification Agreent..."
He was dreaming of such beautiful prospects when suddenly Qin Muye realized sothing—were these three actually the core?
Probably not, the real core should be the Rectification Agreent.
"Wait, my Warlock Dynasty server's Rectification Agreent task still isn't completed???"
At this mont, he realized sothing. Logically, he should have already gotten through the crisis of the Rectification Agreent; he even received the rewards, and the long-term event of the Rectification Agreent·Sky Net Era had already disappeared from this tiline.
"Could it be that I need to return to the original Warlock Dynasty tiline?" Qin Muye was sowhat cursing under his breath. What kind of situation was this?
He couldn't return; the ti channel had long since vanished, and now he could only stay within the Sky Net Era tiline.
The ti channel doesn't require Heavenly Net; it is ultimately owned by the ultimate Heavenly Net, which is the one that truly wraps up the entire tiline. However, due to the failure of closing the loop, Heavenly Net was killed by him, and the ultimate Heavenly Net couldn't co to be, let alone the so-called ti channel.
If the creators died young, their future creations naturally couldn't appear.
"Ah, this...such a huge loss!!! This is about the nature of a territory...." Qin Muye felt extrely frustrated. If he hadn't completed the task, that would be one thing, but the task was completed and yet he was short-changed on the reward. This was probably due to the server tiline issue; if it had been inside an instance, he could have claid it, but now the difference was not space but ti, which made it awkward.
"Master, sothing's happened, the world is virtualizing." Out of the blue, Black Hand sent a sequence of images and data.
Rushing to open the ssage, Qin Muye saw that the entire world was expanding like a bubble and starting to beco transparent.
"Damn, are they really going to be that shaless?"
Qin Muye realized that the baseline of this tiline was the Sky Net Era, but now that Sky Net was gone, naturally, the tiline was heading toward nothingness, which ant becoming null and void.
No, perhaps worse than being nullified, it was being formatted directly.
So theoretically, even if he had won, without a ans to leave the world, he would still be buried along with it.
Fortunately, Qin Muye had the Super-Space Transmission Channel, so he decisively took the first opportunity to escape, taking Endless Abyss and everyone with him, leaving the Warlock Dynasty server Sky Net Era tiline.
The destination was still Netherworld, and upon his return, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, if I use the Super-Space Transmission Channel to go back later, will it be the Sky Net Era or the Warlock Dynasty Era?" Qin Muye calmly pondered this after calming down.
Firstly, the spatial coordinates recorded on his Super-Space Transmission Channel were for the Warlock Dynasty server.
"Then, has there been any change in the flow of ti? I hope this isn't a fairy tale from the future... Oh, no, if it were the future, Hercules and Protheus would definitely have ntioned it."
"It seems that in the judgent of 'Lord Era', the Sky Net Era tiline is more like a derived, illusory future of the Warlock Dynasty server, rather than actually traveling to the future?"
Qin Muye was montarily confused, but he promptly went to inquire with Hades and others, and the unanimous response was that he hadn't ti-traveled.
"Or maybe I did ti travel, but 'Lord Era' corrected it?"
Firstly, the Sky Net Era was indeed one of the futures of the Warlock Dynasty server, and he did indeed travel there, but that tiline was unstable due to not completing a loop.
"A test will tell." Qin Muye did not want to dwell on the issue for too long.
The thod to test was simple: send a Skeleton Soldier through the Super-Space Transmission Channel back to the Warlock Dynasty server and see if it arrives in the now-gone Sky Net Era tiline or the Warlock Dynasty server.
If it's the latter, then further investigate the ti, and many things will be clear.
As for studying this phenonon, Qin Muye admitted he didn't have the capability to do so, and decided to wait and see in the future.
Also, even if he wanted to research now, he wouldn't dare, for when it ca to comparing life and power, Qin Muye valued life more. After all, the goal of gaining strength was to ensure one's own survival; it would be counterintuitive to seek power at the cost of life itself, which doesn't align with Qin Muye's cautious nature.
"Black Hand, notify them to prepare these devices for the Skeleton Soldier..."
Adventurous undertakings such as these obviously required dispensable troops like Skeleton Soldiers; Qin Muye couldn't possibly send his beloved Spirit Monsters.
