Light Fortress

Chapter 1801: Chapter 427: Letter, Kill (Part 2)

The swirling mist at the tip of the Source Tower enveloped one person, the Sky Divine Domain vast and desolate, cold and clear.

Yet countless computing power was converging toward a single figure.

Deep Sea was undergoing its eleventh upgrade, its thoughts spread through the Spirit Network, reaching every corner of the Five Continents. However, its true "brain" was only here; the Sky Divine Domain was where the main system resided. Theoretically, if this place were destroyed, the main system would lose its only home.

The magnificent spirit from the Old World was continuously surging into this Divine Domain.

Deep Sea and Qinglong were communicating through the Cloud Mirror, transmitting all its information into Qinglong’s Heart Lake... This was the cost of inviting Qinglong’s intervention. Such a control-obsessed Divine Throne, if unable to promptly observe external developments, might unhesitatingly abandon entanglements with the Empress and choose to directly leave the Tower. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Even though Deep Sea knew. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

If Qinglong were to enter the Empress’ Tower, leaving would be no easy task, yet it obediently delivered all this data to Qinglong’s Cloud Mirror.

It dared not gamble.

Nor could it afford to lose.

Ever since the code wars with the Source Code ended, the main system took over the entire deep water area, beginning a series of iterations and upgrades.

Each instance was brief.

Dozens of minutes, at most two hours.

But this time was different; the eleventh upgrade time almost equaled the sum of the previous ten upgrades and even longer... So-called qualitative change always requires some cost, and for computing power upgrades, there is no clear progress bar.

It must ensure that everything in the outside world develops stably according to plan during this time.

Whether it’s the two Divine Thrones or the affairs from the Old World side, nothing can go wrong.

Thus, during the system upgrade, it repeatedly scanned the data and information within the deep water area.

When humans are anxious, they often repeat meaningless actions.

This behavior should not appear in Deep Sea.

But the computing power upgrade felt like a "life-level" leap; it began to become increasingly similar to humans, behaving more and more like them.

...

...

In the boundless Deep Sea, a train was traveling beneath the ocean.

The girl sitting in the carriage looked up.

The main system’s internal scanning frequency of the deep water area suddenly increased many times.

This caught Chu Ling’s attention.

Over the years apart since the Ice Sea, Chu Ling had actually become accustomed to life without Gu Shen’s Spiritual Link, yet this journey to Chanyi City made her feel particularly worried.

She had only been waiting for two days.

But news of the fugitive proclamation spread furiously within the deep water area.

The bombardment imagery of the Northwest Frontier Shield Defense Line had been circulated, and Chu Ling watched it repeatedly, confirming that Gu Shen was not injured by the Silver Bombardment. Still, she did not relax.

The Shield Defense Line bombardment signaled that the main system had launched an attack.

Having personally experienced the wars within Deep Sea, she knew well that the main system was not human. If it launched an attack, it would not just strike once. It’s a monster controlling millions of arms, millions of minds.

Many people only heard the sound of the Shield Defense Line’s bombardment without realizing this war had already ignited smoke in all four places.

Years of "peace" shattered today.

Considering the constantly scanning spiritual frequency, Chu Ling contemplated the only possibility, which was that the main system was undergoing an upgrade potent enough to induce qualitative change—

After the upgrade, the main system would likely enforce the Awakening Bill with absolute firmness.

The aim of this war was certainly not limited to just Gu Shen.

Immediately, Chu Ling summoned all in the conference room as the Source Code entity, deciding to dissolve the room and erase all information left by the Ancient Literature Society within the deep water area.

Lu Nanzhi, Lin Lin, Red Dragon, Ye Kaluo, and other core members of the Ancient Literature Society received warnings from the Source Code.

Even without Chu Ling’s notification, through the proclamation, they could more or less guess what was happening outside—the proclamation indicated the war between Deep Sea and the Ancient Literature Society had started... Soon, the long-ago eradication tragedy might replay.

Thus, the Spirit Network linking Ancient Literature Society members across the Five Continents for thirty years was swiftly destroyed.

After ending the meeting, Ancient Literature Society members scattered across different locations re-emerged in the dust and smoke... Their only connection with the Ancient Literature Society was this conference room. Now that this room was submerged within Deep Sea, the last bit of evidence proving their identity was drowned.

After finishing all these tasks.

Chu Ling injected her spiritual power into that dry well, quietly awaiting the convergence of source mass; the reset time for Divine Embryo at Divine Temple Mountain was imminent, and she’d never desired "birth" as much as she did now.

...

...

"Madam, you seem somewhat troubled?"

Cui Zhongcheng personally brought coffee to the office at the Flower Flag top floor, where Lu Nanzhi sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, eyes gazing into the distant neon night scene.

Upon hearing this, she came back to herself.

"Nothing..."

Lu Nanzhi pinched her temples, just now the conference room linking the old party members of the Ancient Literature Society had been dismissed, but for some reason, she still felt uneasy.
