Chapter 288: The Creation Jade Butterfly and the God‑Slaying Key
Lín Jìn and Ling Yue successfully breach the concretized logical Firewall, stepping into the Observer's dimensional Zigong. The scene there exceeds their imagination; the whole space is suffused with a strange, dreamlike radiance, massive energy veins crisscross the void as if forming a huge, mysterious living entity.
After exploring this mysterious space for a while, they discover some fragments that flicker with a faint light. The fragments vary in shape, yet all emit an ancient, powerful aura. Lín Jìn picks up one, examines it closely, and finds it covered with mysterious runes that seem alive, flickering faintly under his gaze.
"These fragments seem to have an extraordinary origin," Lín Jìn says, handing the fragment to Ling Yue.
Ling Yue takes the fragment and likewise feels the great power it contains. "Perhaps these fragments are related to our breaking of the Observer's conspiracy."
As they continue deeper into the Zigong, they keep finding more such fragments. After some piecing together and study, they are astonished to learn that the fragments are actually remnants of the legendary twelve Creation Jade Discs.
According to ancient records, the twelve Creation Jade Discs contain the mysterious power from the universe's birth, possessing a miraculous ability to alter the rules of heaven and earth. They never expected such fragments to appear now within the Observer's dimensional Zigong.
"If we can gather all twelve Creation Jade Disc fragments, perhaps we can find the key force to oppose the Observer," Lín Jìn says, hope flashing in his eyes.
Thus the two begin to search more carefully. In the process they repeatedly encounter various dangers. The Zigong sporadically spawns energy vortices that try to swallow them; there are also strange beings made of energy that launch attacks. Yet Lín Jìn and Ling Yue, with their stubborn will and superb combat skills, turn disaster into safety time after time.
Finally, in a hidden corner, Lín Jìn finds the last Creation Jade Disc fragment. When he joins this piece with the others, a dazzling light shoots upward, and the twelve Creation Jade Discs instantly reconstitute. The disc hovers in the air, emitting a soft yet powerful glow; runes flow across its surface as if narrating the mysteries of the universe.
At that moment, the Starship that has been following them suddenly undergoes a strange transformation. The Starship slowly unfolds, its hull structure gradually twisting and recombining, eventually expanding into a massive, metallic‑shining God‑slaying DNA chain. This DNA chain resonates with the Creation Jade Disc, as if a mysterious link exists between the two.
Lín Jìn and Ling Yue stare at the scene in amazement, realizing that this may be the key to breaking the Observer's conspiracy.
While closely examining the Creation Jade Disc, Lín Jìn notices the runes gradually forming complex patterns and information. After decoding them, they are shocked to discover that the data expose the secret of the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core.
The Hongjun Three Corps—good corpse, Evil Corpse, and self corpse—are the three corps cut by the Daoist Hongjun; the algorithm core they contain governs the operating rules of many mysterious forces in heaven and earth. The Observer seems to have been exploiting the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core to carry out their unspeakable conspiracy.
"So the Observer's conspiracy is actually tied to the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core," Ling Yue says, eyes full of shock.
Lín Jìn nods, "It seems we must delve into this algorithm core to find a way to completely thwart the Observer's scheme."
However, deciphering the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core is no easy task. The core harbors extremely profound cosmic rules and logic; even Lín Jìn and Ling Yue feel at a loss when faced with such massive, complex information.
Just as they fall into a dilemma, the God‑slaying DNA chain that the Starship unfolded suddenly emits a buzzing sound. Some nodes on the chain flash with light, seemingly transmitting some message to them.
Lín Jìn and Ling Yue immediately shift their focus to the DNA chain. After some study, they find that the flashing pattern of the chain's lights actually matches portions of the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core's information.
"Could this God‑slaying DNA chain be the key to helping us decode the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core?" Lín Jìn speculates.
Thus they begin, based on the DNA chain's transmitted data, to attempt decoding the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core. In doing so, they seem to open a door to the universe's ultimate mysteries, and countless pieces of knowledge about cosmic rules and power flows flood their minds.
As their decoding deepens, they gradually comprehend the Observer's true purpose. The Observer intends to use the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core's power to reshape the entire universe, turning it into the form they idealize; in this process, countless civilizations will be destroyed and the cosmic order will be utterly shattered.
"Their ambition is too great; we must never let them succeed," Ling Yue says angrily.
Lín Jìn clenches his fists, "We must stop them. Now we understand part of their plan; next we must find a way to counter it."
At that moment, a strong energy wave suddenly erupts from deep within the Zigong. A powerful force surges toward them, as if warning them not to continue exploring.
"It seems the Observer has sensed our discovery; they are about to act," Lín Jìn says, quickly drawing the Abyss Return Ruler and preparing for battle.
Ling Yue also grips the solid sword formed from coagulated milk, eyes resolute. "Come on, we will not retreat."
Soon, a group of Observers clad in strange armor appear before them. These Observers wield various weapons that flash with cold light, their gazes icy and full of murderous intent.
"Outsiders, you should not have uncovered these secrets. Today is your doom," the leading Observer says coldly.
Lín Jìn snorts, "Your conspiracy is the universe's doom. Today we will end your evil here."
A fierce battle is about to erupt; can Lín Jìn and Ling Yue, relying on their preliminary grasp of the Hongjun Three Corps algorithm core and the power in their hands, successfully repel the Observers' assault and find a way to fully break the Observer's conspiracy? Everything remains unknown…
