CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 104: SOUL ASCENSION

"So... the sudden logout just now wasn’t a protective mechanism, it was simply falling into deep sleep after work?"

Lu Yan was a bit dumbfounded.

If it weren’t for these ordinary people’s souls being insufficient to sustain twenty-four-hour work, the Intelligent God probably wouldn’t have left any time for deep sleep at all.

Aside from that, Lu Yan also noticed that even with the nutritional potion from the hibernation pod, two hours of deep sleep couldn’t compensate the soul’s depletion.

By this time, it was the Eye of the Great Sun’s turn to take the stage above the sky.

The sunlight cast by the Eye of the Great Sun could repair the soul body to a certain extent, acting like a soul stimulant to improve work efficiency, allowing all souls to successfully sustain the daily twenty-two-hour work.

The reason Lu Yan felt the warmth of the sunlight was merely because his own soul was powerful, rendering the effect of the soul stimulant limited.

"I shouldn’t have expected anything from this shitty version after all."

Lu Yan couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

After observing for a long time, Lu Yan suddenly had the idea to walk to the edge of the sky, trying to use soul computation power combined with information compilation technology to repair the sky along with them.

To put it simply, information compilation technology involves the use of soul computation power to construct special soul creations.

This soul world is essentially an aggregate of soul creations; for sentient beings in reality, the soul world is not a true world.

But for souls, the soul world is real without a doubt!

Imitating the method of painting by numbers, the ghost’s internal soul computation power began to gather, creating a piece of the sky fragment.

However, since the ghost’s soul body was several times stronger than ordinary souls, the created sky fragment was as big as a palm, far beyond what ordinary souls could achieve.

But compared to the vast endless sky, even a palm-sized sky fragment is just a drop in the bucket.

The mere fact that the sky is incomplete is overwhelming, not to mention this entire soul world, a miracle creation accumulated by countless souls over hundreds of years.

Lu Yan faintly sensed that the information compilation technology seems to share the same origin with the Intelligent God’s soul transformation.

Lu Yan didn’t use the sky fragment to repair the sky, instead, he crushed it with his hand.

Leaving the sky, Lu Yan went to that desolate land and witnessed all the souls repairing the mountains, rivers, valleys, and icebergs.

Lu Yan could feel that the entire soul world was more than 98% complete, the forming of the world was just within reach.

Whether it’s to expedite the forming of the world or for the subsequent soul ascension to this world, the Intelligent God would inevitably send all humans into the Heaven Computation Center, no one can escape.

If nothing goes wrong, the Universal Giant Corporation controlled by the Intelligent God will soon apply pressure again, and the Upper City District of City No.14 will start deploying high-end forces to carry out a thorough sweep against the Lower City District.

Following this, the three-hundred-year spiritual energy tax law will be promulgated, and the Intelligent God will catch everyone in one fell swoop.

With less than two months left until the world version update, it’s clear the Intelligent God couldn’t wait until after the version update.

With a large influx of new soul supplies, the entire soul world is about to be completed.

In at most one and a half months, the real purge is imminent.

"What should I do?"

...

Seventy-first Cave, in the underground pharmaceutical factory.

Lu Yan temporarily released control over the ghost and let him blend in with the many souls pretending to repair the soul world together.

It must be said, Lu Yan’s probe into the Heaven Computation Center was extremely successful this time.

Not only did he uncover the secrets behind the Intelligent God, but also confirmed that the Heavenly Dao Code was effective on the Intelligent God, adding a card to his hand.

But after unveiling the truth, what followed was enormous pressure.

Despite the Intelligent God’s means of creating the soul world being somewhat opportunistic, it still represents genuine creation.

Just this aspect is enough for Lu Yan to realize the sheer power of the Intelligent God.

Thinking about facing such a terrifying entity directly, Lu Yan felt a headache coming on.

"I’m just a mere cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage, fighting a Soul Creator?

The despair of three versions, along with the cyber version’s deadly future, is it really because I triggered the version change value of the Xianxia version, leading to targeting by the Xianxia Celestial Dao?"

The threat posed by the Intelligent God was so immense that it once made Lu Yan want to abandon everything now and flee outside the city to hide for two months using the Heavenly Dao Code.

If lucky, the Heavenly Dao Code could continuously deceive the Intelligent God, Lu Yan might have a chance of survival.

But if the God fixes the soul world, transmutes into a Soul Creator, and patches the loopholes of the Heavenly Dao Code, Lu Yan would have only one dead-end.

Lu Yan was unwilling to place his entire life and fortune in the hands of the Intelligent God, and thus unwillingly abandoned this idea.

After calming his emotions, Lu Yan began to think rationally.

"The current situation isn’t entirely hopeless either.

Thinking carefully, the reason why the Intelligent God can easily implement political orders is mainly because it controls the Universal Giant Corporation, a behemoth in the Cyber World.

Within the Universal Giant Corporation, there are numerous board members; they are the pinnacle rulers of the cyber version, able to determine the future of the city with a word.

They can stand at the pinnacle because the cyber version’s social system supports them, all their power and influence comes from the cyber version’s social system.

The Intelligent God’s goal is soul ascension, taking all souls into that soul world, which will lead to the collapse of the current social system, and the board members of Universal Giant Corporation will also lose their existing power.

Undoubtedly, the Intelligent God’s goal is completely contrary to the interests of the board members of Universal Giant Corporation."

"Besides, the bigwigs in the Upper City District can now quietly carve up the Central City District because they think the Intelligent God’s axe won’t fall on them.

Once they know the Intelligent God plans to send them to the Heaven Computation Center to exploit soul computation power, these wealthy and powerful figures in the Upper City District will surely rise up in resistance!"

Lu Yan’s eyes flickered, his thoughts becoming increasingly clear.

"The Intelligent God should target these elites when preemptively levying the three-hundred-year spiritual energy tax decree.

Earlier, I didn’t try to spread the news of the three-hundred-year spiritual energy tax, because there wasn’t any solid evidence, it wouldn’t have much effect.

But if I spread the news of the Intelligent God’s creation of the soul world along with the three-hundred-year spiritual energy tax message, with the soul world serving as evidence, there is a high probability I could divide the Intelligent God and the elites, buying enough time for myself!"
