Chapter 58: Sparks Resonance, the War of Continuance

The Canyon's escape route was drenched in blood‑red and rust‑colored tones. Wang Hu carried the unconscious Chen Mo on his back, each step striking the cracked metal ground and splashing viscous data residue. Chen Mo's body was frighteningly light, yet his temperature rose oddly, and beneath his skin faint black data streams tangled with golden Primordial Force like battling serpents, spreading. His presence radiated like a badly tuned broadcast, clear at times, nearly gone at others.

"His 'Existence Anchor Point' is fluctuating violently!" Su Yu followed closely, under True Knowledge Vision, Chen Mo's consciousness was like a lone lamp in a storm, the Cognitive Net woven by everyone's will was on the brink of breaking under the dual blows of logical pollution and over‑compilation backlash. Moreover, she was alarmed that the three freshly converged Source Code Fragments in Chen Mo's bosom were releasing an excessively massive power uncontrollably, which both repaired his damage and accelerated his collapse.

Behind them, a Logic Storm that devours everything and the system‑condensed destructive energy. Ahead, the Canyon Exit was far out of reach; on both sides new "Logical Cancer" derivatives kept breaking through the soil, and the aerial detectors above were like sharks that smelled blood.

Desperation, true desperation.

"We can't keep going like this! We'll all be consumed!" Zhang Yang's heavy machine‑gun barrel had overheated to a red glow, and ammunition was running low.

Han Qing shot an arrow through the compound eye of a charging derivative, then, panting, looked at Su Yu: "When he obtained the third fragment, did he leave any information? About how to use them?"

A flash of key information, received at the logical hub and encapsulated by a Blue Data Crystal, surged in Su Yu's mind—the essence of Chaos Whisper is an information virus, the system itself can be Isolation rather than Destruction, and… a vague hint about the true purpose of Primordial Origin: "Resonance… guidance… non‑confrontation… Sparks passing on, Continuance first…"

Continuance first!

Su Yu suddenly stared at the barely breathing Chen Mo, then at the three restless Source Code Fragments in his arms, and a thought flashed through her mind like lightning!

They had constantly tried to use the fragments' power to compile, to confront, to destroy! Yet that may itself be a misstep! The final gift of the Luo Ya Legacy, the Sparks passed on when the Weaver attained liberation, has never centered on "Destruction" but on "Inheritance" and "Continuance"!

"We need to change strategy!" Su Yu's voice carried a resolve of burning the boats, "No more compiling to confront, no more trying to hide! We must… 'Resonance'!"

"Resonance?" Li Siwen fired his energy pistol in short bursts, looking puzzled.

"Using these three fragments, together with all of our Primordial Blood and Luo Ya Sparks, we will resonate with the foundational Primordial rules of this world that the system has not yet fully devoured!" Su Yu spoke at breakneck speed, "It's not about attacking the system's rules, but about 'Awakening' those suppressed foundational rules! Like seeking underground water in a desert!"

The idea was extremely bold, even a bit fanciful. Yet in the absolute deadlock before them, any conventional means were already ineffective.

"How do we do it?" Han Qing asked succinctly.

"Inject all our power, together with the fragments, into Chen Mo's body!" Su Yu said astonishingly, "He is now the core of the fragments, the center of the contamination, and the nexus of all our wills! Only he can serve as this 'Resonator'! We must gamble, betting that the essence of the Primordial Origin surpasses the system's pollution, betting that our gathered Sparks can ignite his restrained potential!"

It places everyone's fate, even Chen Mo's final chance of life, on an unproven theory!

There was no time for debate. The system's destructive energy had already begun coalescing at the Canyon End, a shrinking energy sphere resembling a Black Sun; wherever it passed, even space itself was annihilated!

"Trust her! Trust Chen Mo!" Wang Hu roared, the first to press his rough large hand onto Chen Mo's rear heart, generously pouring his own massive blood‑qi and the faint Primordial Force into him!

Next was Han Qing; his willpower, like the sharpest arrow, pierced precisely into Chen Mo's chaotic sea of consciousness. Zhang Yang, Li Siwen, Zhao Lei, Liu Qian… everyone made the same choice, pouring their final strength, without reservation, into Chen Mo's body!

Su Yu finally placed her hand on Chen Mo's forehead; her True Knowledge Vision, guided by the Luo Ya Legacy's knowledge, carefully wove and fused the power of the three restless Source Code Fragments with the energy, will, and even soul fragments that everyone had poured in, directing them toward the depths of Chen Mo's fading consciousness core!

This was not an attack, but the most thorough 'Delivery' and 'Trust'!

Boom—!!!

Indescribable Resonance, centered on Chen Mo, erupted brazenly!

It wasn't an energy blast, but a declaration on the level of 'Existence'! A pure, warm White Light Pillar, imbued with infinite vitality and possibility, ignored the Canyon's blockade, ignored the system's suppression, and pierced straight through the dark‑red data haze, traversing heaven and earth!

Within the light pillar, Chen Mo floated upward, his eyes snapping open! In his gaze, the left eye held a swirling golden data galaxy, the right eye a burning white pure flame! The logical pollution entrenched in his consciousness, under the on‑and‑offensive most primal forces of 'Order' and 'Life', was washed away like ice under sunlight, emitting a bleak, high‑pitched wail, rapidly melting and vaporizing!

The three Source Code Fragments in his arms finally merged completely, forming a single seamless transparent crystal that seemed to contain the birth and death of a universe, emblazoned on his chest.

【Yuan Chu Core Remnant】 has been activated.

【Permission upgrade: Rule Resonator】

【Ability update: …】

A stream of information flooded his consciousness, but Chen Mo had no time to examine it. He felt the incessant new power coursing within, and a warm, solid connection subtly forming with the world's underlying rules. He 'saw' that beneath the system's cold, rigid gray‑black rule network, deeper down, countless golden, white, green, blue… threads of Primordial Law flowed, representing all 'possibilities' such as life, creation, emotion, dreams. They were merely suppressed, never vanished!

The system's Black Energy Sphere was already closing in, its destructive aura suffocating.

Chen Mo slowly raised his hand, no longer to compile or confront the energy sphere. He merely gently 'touched' deep within the ground beneath his feet, the Primordial Law thread representing 'material stability' and 'spatial structure' that the system's rules had rigidly suppressed.

"Resonance: Define this place—Existence priority."

No blinding brilliance, no rule collisions.

And the Black Energy Sphere, capable of destroying everything, upon touching the White Light Pillar's range, acted like a stone dropped into water—only a faint ripple rose, then silently… disintegrated, dissipated. It wasn't destroyed; rather, its embedded 'Destruction' rule, upon touching the higher‑priority 'Existence' definition, was forcibly 'Negated' at its very foundation!

All the 'Logical Cancer' derivatives inside the Canyon froze simultaneously; the metal fragments comprising their bodies clattered to the ground, their reactors shutting down one after another. The 'Abnormal Fusion' rule they relied on, under the Primordial Law's 'Pure Existence' resonance, lost its support.

The aerial detectors swarmed like a hive, falling like raindrops after being cut off from power.

The system's will projection emitted a wave of extreme instability, filled with incomprehensible 'Error' signals, and finally, unwillingly, faded away slowly.

Inside the Canyon, a temporary deathly silence returned. Only the White Light Pillar that pierced heaven and earth, and the figure within it, testified that what had just occurred was not an illusion.

Chen Mo slowly descended, the Light Pillar contracting with him. He remained weak, but the crisis of existential collapse had been averted, and the logical pollution was completely purified. His breath grew deeper, more restrained, as if synchronized with the world's own breathing.

He looked at the companions beside him, nearly collapsed from exhausted power, his gaze finally resting on Su Yu, filled with an ineffable emotion.

"We… did it." Su Yu, exhausted, leaned against a rusted piece of metal, yet her face bore a relieved smile.

Chen Mo nodded, feeling the thrum of the 【Yuan Chu Core Remnant】 in his chest, and the theoretical framework about 'Isolation' of the system in his mind.

They had found the right path.

No longer a desperate resistance, but an awakening of the sleeping foundation.

The system is not unbeatable, because it itself is built upon the broader ocean of Primordial Origin.

"Rest a while." Chen Mo's voice carried a reassuring steadiness, "Then, we'll finish this all."

"It's time to thoroughly 'purify' this 'sick' world."

The Sparks have ignited; the Continuance War has entered a new stage.
