Bai Cheng brought the book of commonality close to the open data interface.
The resonance patterns on the pages naturally connected with the interface. The light of the oath of starlight transformed into a soft guide, cautiously beginning to query and draw out raw data packets related to rule adaptability, belief stability, and unnatural stripping effects.
The data did not pour in directly as text or images; instead, it was recorded by the book of commonality as more fundamental rule information clusters and phenomenon recording spectrums.
Silver handwriting emerged on the pages of its own accord. They weren't coherent sentences, but rather highly condensed conceptual symbols and dynamic rule models.
Bai Cheng focused intently, using her own resonance as a filter to screen, understand, and translate this ancient information.
Minutes and seconds ticked by. Outside the resonance stabilization field maintained by Qingniao, the river of data flowed as quietly as ever, but inside the Stasis Vault, an intense data exchange was underway.
Soon, Bai Cheng's brow furrowed slightly. Through this raw data, she saw the cold analysis the Old Observers had conducted on the collective consciousness phenomenon known as belief.
She saw the rigorous experimental models they designed to test rule adaptability, and she also saw... deduction records regarding fragile phases and reverse transformation triggers that could appear in belief structures under specific rule resonances.
Although these deductions were marked with extremely low theoretical probabilities and required extreme conditions, their logic was rigorous and the paths were clear.
"As expected..." Bai Cheng whispered. "The Old Observers did indeed leave behind theoretical possibilities for how to interfere with or even reverse symbiotic belief from a rule level.
While the conditions for realization are harsh, if combined with the vast resources the World Government likely possesses and their deep mastery of the Infinite Realm's rules..."
She accelerated the speed # Nоvеlight # of data extraction and recording, focusing specifically on the sections regarding fragile phase identification and trigger condition simulations.
This critical information had to be brought back to the Archives in its entirety for analysis to formulate defensive strategies in advance and reinforce the heart tree's defenses.
However, just as the data extraction was nearing its end and Bai Cheng was preparing to cut the connection, their access activity accidentally brushed against the edge of a dormant data packet deep within the Stasis Vault, labeled as High-Dimensional Observation Echo (Uncategorized).
That data packet was extremely tiny, yet exceptionally heavy.
It did not actively transmit information, but the moment it was touched, it sent back a cold, vast gaze that seemed to come from the end of time.
It wasn't an attack, but more like an ancient being slightly disturbed in its sleep, unconsciously casting a glance.
With just that one glance, the three people on the bridge simultaneously felt a tremor from the depths of their souls, as if they had been stripped of all emotion and warmth in an instant, placed in an absolutely objective, absolutely lonely void.
Even the light on the book of commonality wavered slightly because of it.
"Interference source!" Zi Yuan immediately warned, her mechanical eye locking onto the position of that abnormal data packet.
"Irrelevant data, strip it immediately!" Bai Cheng made a decisive choice, forcibly cutting the data connection with the Stasis Vault as the light of the oath of starlight rolled back, firmly protecting the book of commonality.
Qingniao's lightning stabilization field suddenly contracted, completely annihilating the last trace of data fluctuations that might have leaked as the connection was severed.
The data interface on the surface of the Stasis Vault closed rapidly, and the encryption runes re-emerged, restoring its previous state of stasis. The polyhedral crystal became dim once more, as if nothing had happened.
But the lingering chill from that cold, vast gaze continued to haunt the three of them.
"What was that..." Qingniao shook her head, trying to dispel the discomfort.
"Something else... left behind by the Old Observers." Bai Cheng's voice was slightly low. She quickly checked the book of commonality, confirming that the key data had been safely recorded and was not contaminated by any residue from that abnormal data packet.
"It wasn't our target for this trip, but... it's unsettling. This is no place to linger. We have the data; evacuate immediately."
The dawn did not hesitate for a second. It turned around, following the resonance path it had come from, quietly sailing away from this river of data and speeding toward the rift outside the Validation Field.
Behind them, the massive river of data continued to flow silently, sealing away countless secrets and unknowns of the old era.
And deep within that Stasis Vault, before that slightly disturbed High-Dimensional Observation echo data packet returned to silence, a highly complex identifier within it flickered weakly once, recording an unauthorized access event carrying a mark of constant resilience.
The rift was already in sight. The dawn slipped out like a shadow, re-entering the cold forest of ancient chains outside the Validation Field.
Inside the bridge, Bai Cheng looked at the silver runes and rule models recorded in the book of commonality, her expression solemn. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
She had found the key to countering the potential threat, but she had also unintentionally glimpsed an unknown shadow in the deeper reaches of the abyss.
The echoes of the Star Abyss were never just songs and stories.
The dawn accelerated, heading back toward the warm lights of the Archives.
Next time, where will the river of light flow?
The encryption runes on the crystal's surface receded like a tide, revealing a mirror-smooth data interface underneath.
Countless silver points of light gathered from deep within the crystal, flowing and condensing at the interface, gradually forming a light scroll composed of pure information.
The scroll had no pages; its content was presented through alternating flowing runes and holographic images—the raw data on rule adaptability and belief stability left by the Old Observers.
Bai Cheng reached out, and the light of the oath of starlight wrapped around the light scroll like water. A resonance was established, and a massive amount of information flooded her consciousness.
She saw the experimental records of the old era.
It was an age far more ancient than the Silent Quadrant.
The Old Observers had not yet fully understood the essence of echoes and belief. They established the Validation Field, placing captured echoes in different rule environments to observe their changes and survival limits. freёwebnovel.com
Image fragments flashed: a flower of civilization distorted into a grotesque sculpture under intense rule pressure;
A wisp of song repeated in a time loop until it lost its voice entirely;
A segment of memory stripped of emotion, turning into a cold chain of data...
But there were exceptions.
In one experimental group, a cluster of belief flames from a nascent civilization was placed in a simulated environment of absolute nothingness. According to the Old Observers' calculations, it should have extinguished within seven hundred standard hours.
But it didn't.
The flame burned weakly but stubbornly. Even when its energy was nearly exhausted and the medium carrying it had disintegrated, that tiny glimmer of light never completely vanished.
The Old Observers recorded the anomaly: the flame's survival did not depend on external energy supplies,
But was maintained by a resonance that crossed rules, generated by the continuous, pure prayers of a group of intelligent beings in a distant star region.
