Chapter 1533: Tampering with Probability

Tampering with Probability

Another question that Chen Ling couldn't answer.

He pondered seriously for a long time, and ultimately still shook his head:

"I don't know."

"But... even if I really could bring these souls to the next world, how should I deal with them? What does your so-called 'new life' refer to?"

"If you're saying to resurrect all these people, that's impossible to achieve. First, they are not souls of the living world, and second, they also have no physical bodies... Moreover, if they resurrected in the next world, wouldn't everyone have two of themselves in that world? Wouldn't this world fall into chaos?"

Chen Ling's explanation was very convoluted, but Su Zhiwei could understand his meaning.

Su Zhiwei felt somewhat regretful... but she also felt that this hypothesis was a bit too wild, and ultimately just nodded:

"...Alright, I was just mentioning it in passing."

"The Spirit Void Domain's side should start making a move within these next two days... However, your Dusk Society's intelligence network shouldn't be worse than ours, so I won't synchronize with you in real time. We'll contact each other again if there's anything important."

"Alright."

Su Zhiwei waved her hand at Chen Ling, her figure flashing as she vanished without a trace.

Draped in a red-based black-patterned Theatrical Robe, Chen Ling stood alone by the edge of the river channel, his gaze slowly turning towards the direction of the Spirit Void Domain in the northwest...

"Is it about to start..."

Chen Ling muttered to himself.

...

Spirit Void Domain.

Clang——

The morning glow leapt over the horizon, slowly sprinkling on the cobblestone path in front of the Spirit Void Ancient Temple. Following the sound of a melodious bell ringing, a figure sitting quietly cross-legged in the center of the temple slowly opened his eyes.

"Lord of Spirit Void, My Lord, the time has come," a figure outside the temple spoke respectfully.

With slightly curled hair fluttering gently in the wind, Wu Tongyuan, draped in a plain monk's robe, slowly stood up from the ground...

His gaze looked into the distance, only to see a half-finished high tower standing on the horizon. Wu Tongyuan's gaze was profound and exhausted.

"Mm."

Wu Tongyuan replied indifferently.

"My Lord, the civilians in the domain and those construction workers, hearing that you were going to attempt to activate the Akashic Tower today, have all run to the streets near the tower to spectate... Although we sealed off the roads in advance, they still pay great attention to this event, and they refuse to leave no matter how we try to persuade them..." The person hesitated for a moment, probing, "Do you need us to force them to leave?"

"...No need." Wu Tongyuan shook his head. "Deceiving ourselves is meaningless; they have the right to know everything."

"Yes."

Wu Tongyuan said no more, walking step by step down the stairs towards the foot of the mountain, the hem of his plain monk's robe fluttering in the wind.

The numerous citizens at the foot of the mountain, seeing that plain attire coming down the mountain, were all incomparably excited!

"It's the Lord of Spirit Void!!"

"Lord of Spirit Void has finally come down the mountain!"

"I heard that the Lord of Spirit Void is going to activate the Akashic Tower today and try to find a solution for the Red Star. Is it true or false?"

"Of course it's true! All work at the Akashic Tower's side has been completely halted today, even the outer scaffolding has been removed... It's my first time seeing its facade, it's really too beautiful... Not that kind of gorgeous feeling, just very ordinary, but... very premium?"

"Nonsense, every single brick and every angle of the Akashic Tower has been precisely calculated; they are all the most perfect curves."

"Do you guys think Lord of Spirit Void can succeed?"

"Definitely, that's the Lord of Spirit Void! The powerful existence who single-handedly suppressed a World-Ending Calamity. Even now, the 'sculpture' of the Calamity of Delusion is still stuck outside the wall!"

"Lord of Spirit Void, you can do it!! We support you!!"

"Lord of Spirit Void must succeed! I'm still waiting for my man to come home from the construction site! We haven't seen each other in so long!"

"..."

Voices rising one after another came from both sides at the foot of the mountain. Wu Tongyuan glanced at the dense crowd of people, and the weight on his shoulders seemed to become a bit heavier.

He didn't respond, and didn't even continue walking on the main road. Instead, his figure directly soared into the air, flying towards the location of the Akashic Tower.

At this time, the area around the Akashic Tower had already been cleared. The original factories and dormitory buildings were temporarily emptied. The surrounding buildings were all dead silent, with only the mysterious high tower that spiraled up into the sky shining brightly under the morning glow.

The Akashic Tower was indeed not yet finished; even the top was still an open-air "skylight." But the core base area had already been completed.

Wu Tongyuan slowly walked into the tower, his pupils clearly reflecting every brick and tile here. Those bricks, meticulously carved according to mathematical curves, looked like countless surging data streams in his eyes, extending all the way to the end in the void...

According to Wu Tongyuan's calculations, the current Akashic Tower possessed about 70% of the efficacy of its perfect state. But the remaining 30% was exactly the hardest to build, requiring a massive amount of manpower and time.

Since that was the case, it was better to try it in advance. After all, from a cost-effectiveness perspective, the current Akashic Tower was already sufficient.

The interior of the Akashic Tower was too quiet, like a massive and intricate vase. Wu Tongyuan looked up, and through the "skylight"-like tower roof, he could see the azure sky...

Wu Tongyuan slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, a Domain opened up from his body.

The moment the Domain opened, everything around seemed to be replaced by various Formulas. The rules of this world frantically danced in the void in the form of numbers!

As for this unfinished high tower around him, every single brick contained a massive amount of data streams, intertwining with each other like a burning mathematical Torchlight!

Wu Tongyuan raised his hand and began to tamper with the rules of the space inside the tower within the void. As the Universal Constants continuously intervened in the tower, even the ethereal fate seemed to be quantified by numbers, beginning to gradually twist and deform...

The Universal Constants began to intervene in the study of "probability."

The probability Formulas for the occurrence of events gradually deviated from their original tracks under Wu Tongyuan's plucking. Everything that seemed inconceivable to the outside world would become extremely commonplace here.

Seemingly to verify this point, Wu Tongyuan took out nine Copper Coins of different shapes from his pocket. With a flick of his thumb, these nine Copper Coins flipped in the air...

Ding ding dang dang——

The nine Copper Coins flew through the air at different heights and arcs, ultimately falling messily back onto the floor inside the tower.

The Copper Coins all over the floor continuously bounced, their points of impact and directions of leaping extremely chaotic. But bizarrely, in the end, every single Copper Coin perfectly stood upright on the ground after spinning in bursts...

Throwing nine Copper Coins at the same time, what was the probability of all of them ultimately standing upright on the ground?

Inside the Akashic Tower,

The probability was 95%!

After confirming that the Akashic Tower had indeed taken effect, Wu Tongyuan let out a slight sigh of relief, but then his gaze became increasingly solemn...

He raised his head, looking at the void above his head.

Next,

He was going to begin contacting the "Akashic Records."
