metaverse evolution.

“Heavenly Dao Venerable!” Chu Fei stood in front of Heavenly Dao Venerable, looking down at him slightly.

At this moment, Tianyan Daozun maintained his holy body state, but his body was full of holes, as if sulfuric acid had been poured on his body surface, and there were countless holes in his body, including his face.

At first glance, I thought it was some kind of abstract sculpture.

However, the sacred body remained intact, with starlight flowing on its surface. Although its operation was no longer smooth and it was close to the brink of collapse, it ultimately did not collapse and was even spontaneously recovering.

The sage's powerful vitality was fully displayed at this moment.

However, Chu Fei also maintained his Sacred Body state. Unlike the Sacred Body of ordinary saints, which is shimmering with starlight, the "Sacred Body" of big data cultivation is an endless torrent of data.

The reason why a saint's body radiates starlight is actually due to the laws and supernatural powers he has comprehended. But for big data cultivation, everything is data, and it directly addresses the root cause.

In fact, according to the old correspondence, a realm of 26.0 would barely qualify as a beginner saint, but Chu Fei could face a Great Dao Saint head-on.

Or rather, after reaching level 20.0, the practice of big data has already deviated from the usual path and gone straight to the essence; after level 24.0, the practice of big data has completely embarked on a different path.

Now, Chu Fei looks down at Tianyan Daozun, a look of the victor looking down on the loser, or even the strong looking down on the weak.

Chu Fei might not be a match for Tianyan Daozun in a one-on-one fight, but when Tianyan Daozun bravely (helplessly) took on ten thousand opponents, he was utterly humiliated—literally.

At this moment, facing Chu Fei's almost reprimanding question, Tianyan Daozun still responded firmly: "Chu Fei, release me now, and some things can still be discussed. Otherwise, some things are beyond the capacity of your Yanhuang civilization to bear."

Chu Fei laughed and waved to those around him: "It seems it's not time for interrogation yet. Let him enjoy the charm of technology first."

What kind of technological charm is this? The Sky-Splitting God, watching from afar, was a little curious.

All that could be seen was the Yanhuang civilization bustling with activity, with hundreds of thousands of 25.0 cultivators working around the Heavenly Evolution Daoist, along with a large amount of equipment.

In principle, the sacred body of a sage is incapable of feeling pain. However, big data technology allows the Heavenly Dao Venerable to experience the joys of mortals.

A few minutes later, a scream echoed through the void. This scream was transmitted to the "ears" of every powerful individual through the laws of space and time.

The God of Rending Sky, who was watching the show from afar, couldn't help but shudder.

The strong have more acute senses, but they also have greater endurance. In addition, the strong can actively block out pain, making it difficult for them to cry out in agony.

But now, feeling the pain of the Heavenly Dao Venerable and hearing his howls that sounded like those of a wild beast, a sense of fear began to rise in the heart of the Sky-Splitting God Venerable.

There was no way around it; the Yanhuang civilization displayed unimaginable strength and ruthlessness in this war.

Not to mention the ever-increasing number of Saints, or cultivators at level 25.0, just the fact that the frontline warriors were fighting the enemy while the warships behind them were focusing their fire on them, yet the frontline warriors were still able to continue fighting, shocked and terrified the Sky-Splitting God.

If our own side dared to do that, the frontline experts would have surrendered on the spot long ago!

Although the God of Rending Sky knew that the experts at the front and rear had calculated the danger before the attack, the scene was still too shocking.

Now, the Yanhuang civilization has demonstrated unusual methods of torture, capable of inducing such a piercing scream from a Great Dao Saint, which is enough to show that the Yanhuang civilization's methods are extraordinary.

But in reality, the method is quite simple: pain detection algorithms and amplification algorithms—anyway, the Yanhuang civilization thinks it's pretty simple.

The body of Tianyan Daozun has long been infiltrated by the meme virus, which means that the foundation and even the soul of Tianyan Daozun have long been "hijacked" by the Yanhuang civilization.

As the computer continues to run and as experience data accumulates, the enjoyment of the Heavenly Dao Venerable is constantly upgraded.

There were no questions asked at this time; it was all about continuous research, research, and research. In the process of research, he upgraded and transformed his techniques, allowing Tianyan Daozun to experience what it meant to be surrounded by a large following—hundreds of thousands of level 25.0 experts were busy around Tianyan Daozun's sacred body. How could you not feel great?

As time went by, this "torture" lasted for three years.

Under the meticulous care of hundreds of thousands of sages, Tianyan Daozun did not exhibit any signs of diminished pain sensation; on the contrary, he became increasingly sensitive. Initially, Tianyan Daozun could still howl, but gradually only his body trembled.

However, the Heavenly Dao Venerable's sacred body became increasingly healthy. In the hands of the Yanhuang civilization, even dying was nearly impossible.

The Sky-Splitting God, watching from afar, broke out in a cold sweat. This was the first time he had ever felt cold sweat since becoming a Quasi-Saint.

Three years later, Chu Fei reappeared before Tianyan Daozun, asked everyone to temporarily stop the "massage," and said calmly, "Tianyan Daozun, now I'll give you two choices."

One option is to die peacefully, retaining some dignity; the other is to live in agony, but ultimately, death is inevitable. You're going to die anyway, but I'm giving you the right to choose how you die.

Don't even think about anyone coming to rescue you. If they could, they would have come already.

The Heavenly Daoist Master remained silent.

Chu Fei: "I'll give you 24 hours to think it over. I'll come back in 24 hours."

The massage, which was attended by burly men, was suspended for 24 hours as Tianyan Daozun pondered. Chu Fei, however, called over the "massage team leader" for a talk.

How could the Yanhuang civilization simply resort to torture? More importantly, it was scientific research, scientific research, and damn scientific research.

Putting so many saints here as prisoners, only to torture them, what kind of brain-dead decision would that be? Do they even know how costly it is to torture a saint? Most importantly, we need to save time now.

The core of current research focuses on consciousness, soul, and the true spirit. A sage is powerful enough, and their soul and other structures are also powerful enough.

Today, the Yanhuang civilization has figured out the structure of life: True Spirit → Soul → Consciousness → Material Body.

The soul, in this context, refers to the alternative grand model previously studied, while consciousness is the output of this "soul grand model." The physical body functions as a "hard drive," an information carrier, and also acquires information from the outside world.

The most challenging aspect of previous research has been the concept of the "true spirit." What was the initial origin and source of human intelligence? This remains unresolved.

But now that we have millions of sages as subjects of study, we are gradually making some progress.

Chu Fei gathered everyone's research data, organized it briefly, checked the time, and returned to Tianyan Daozun. "Tianyan Daozun, you should have made your choice by now. Don't be so indecisive, even though you're a Great Dao Saint. Besides, you should know what we're asking."

Don't even think about anyone coming to rescue you. For so many years, no one has attacked the Yanhuang civilization. You people have been abandoned.

The Heavenly Dao Venerable was so silent he was almost withdrawn. He could sense whether a sage would come to his rescue.

Over the past three years, the Yanhuang civilization has ceased its destruction of the surrounding space. Tianyan Daozun's perception has reconnected with the laws of the world, allowing him to clearly perceive situations several light-years away and vaguely sense the general situation hundreds or thousands of light-years away. However, despite his best efforts over these three years, all he has perceived is still emptiness.

No one came to save me!

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Venerable's mind finally collapsed.

Then, Daoist Tianyan spoke, directly sending a data packet to Chu Fei. Chu Fei took the packet, checked it briefly, and accepted it with a smile.

Over the years, these cultivators' methods have been thoroughly studied, and it is easy to detect whether they contain any dark or underhanded techniques.

In fact, due to the unique nature of big data cultivation, many traditional, underhanded methods are ineffective. It should be said that the emergence of big data cultivation has truly left traditional practitioners bewildered.

Even so, Chu Fei only used a clone to absorb this information. Countless pieces of information flashed through his mind, and Chu Fei let out a long breath, "So that's how it is."

Then Chu Fei waved his hand, and the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated. Then it seemed as if an invisible film had been drawn down around the space, and the world suddenly became a little clearer.

At that moment, Tianyan Daozun's perception became clearer, and he faintly sensed an aura coming from the distant void.

Tianyan Daozun was suddenly stunned.

Chu Fei smiled at Tianyan Daozun, "Sorry, it seems our virtual reality technology is not bad."

Then Chu Fei said to those around him, "We keep our word. Let's give Daoist Tianyan a quick death. Kill him quickly, before the reinforcements arrive."

Tianyan Daozun roared and began to berate Chu Fei, but it was too late.

At this moment, not only Tianyan Daozun, but even Liekong Shenzun was stunned. He did not even realize that the surrounding space had been tampered with.

When Chu Fei returned, he saw the somewhat bewildered, shocked, and slightly horrified expression on the face of the Sky-Splitting God, and laughed:

"It's just a trick. We'll first disrupt the void, then take the opportunity to deploy a large number of meme viruses, or more precisely, meme code, world-class code. We'll then use big data technology and cosmic brain technology to slightly hijack some of the world's authority, and add some virtual reality technology."

They also used some methods to distract them. Actually, if you pay close attention, you can easily spot them.

Could it be easily discovered? Thinking about how he had been quietly watching the show here for decades, the God of Rift fell silent.

Suddenly, wisps of white clouds appeared in the void, quickly becoming denser, covering an area of ​​one light-year.

Upon seeing this, the Sky-Splitting God sighed, "The Heavenly Evolution Dao Venerable is dead! So many years of adversary. And this time, all eight million Saints in the Self-Transcending Alliance are dead!"

Then the God of Rending the Void looked around at the void. At this point, it could no longer be called the void; more than eight million saints had died, and the Yanhuang civilization had also paid the price of hundreds of thousands of deaths.

The total amount of matter released after the death of each saint is at least equivalent to that of a planet.

With the deaths of over eight million saints, this void directly coalesced into more than three hundred thousand continents of varying sizes. Because each saint possessed a different level of cultivation, even continents made of pure gold appeared here.

On the outer edge of this void, the Yanhuang civilization was confronting a group of saints from the super-ego faction. These saints were only at the level of 100,000, and perhaps having received information from the previous group of saints, they dared not charge into the Yanhuang civilization's battle lines, resorting only to ranged attacks.

Unfortunately, while the ranged attacks seemed impressive, they were completely incapable of breaching the defenses of the Yanhuang civilization. These ranged attacks perfectly illustrated the saying, "Even a spent arrow cannot pierce thin silk."

The Yanhuang civilization, with its own ancestral home as its core, laid out a "minefield" spanning hundreds of light-years in the surrounding void. Hidden within this area were numerous vacuum energy bombs; if a sage were to enter, these bombs would explode instantly, turning the area into a prison.

So the current situation is that the Yanhuang civilization is guarding this void without launching an attack, and the sages from the outside world dare not challenge it. Time is simply dragging on. But given the current rate of development of the Yanhuang civilization, the longer this drags on, the better!

These thoughts flashed through the mind of the Sky-Splitting God Venerable, who then cautiously asked, "I wonder what the Heavenly Evolution Dao Venerable said?"

Chu Fei chuckled: "Don't you know? The higher-ups and core members of both the Supernatural and Superego factions are exploring that 'Creation Heaven of the Netherworld,' where there are opportunities to transcend the current world. While you're fighting to the death outside, they're quietly reaping the rewards inside the Creation Heaven of the Netherworld."

As he spoke, Chu Fei also condensed an information packet and sent it to Tianyan Daozun.

After reading the information packet, Tianyan Daozun immediately roared, "Damn it!"

Chu Fei looked at the other person, shook his head slightly, chuckled twice, and left. Next, Chu Fei planned to give the information obtained from the interrogation to the higher-ups of the Yanhuang civilization to discuss whether it should be made public.

The information obtained from Tianyan Daozun was extensive, but only a very small amount was given to Liekong Shenzun.

Chu Fei then convened a high-level meeting of the Yanhuang Civilization and shared all the information—however, it was clear that outside experts such as the Goddess of Nature were not qualified to participate in the high-level meeting of the Yanhuang Civilization.

After the news was shared, the leaders of the Yanhuang civilization were all surprised.

The Senluo Creation Heaven was a place Chu Fei had never heard of before, first heard from Daoist Yuanyang, who said it might have originated from the upper realm; moreover, the proliferation of celestial books also began in the Senluo Creation Heaven. It was also a sacred place for adventure, brimming with countless opportunities.

According to the information provided by Tianyan Daozun, only a very small portion of the Senluo Creation Heaven came from the Upper Realm; the majority were expanded by the two major factions. This place is an "incubation base" and a breeding base.

The core of the Senluo Creation Heaven is a relic, a wreckage, descended from the upper realm, but its core remains intact. After a long period of exploration by the core factions, it was discovered that the core of this wreckage can absorb "souls," and the more powerful the soul, the better.

It doesn't matter how they died, as long as they died within this world.

To cause the deaths of a large number of powerful individuals, one must first cultivate a sufficient number of powerful individuals. Therefore, divine scriptures proliferate, and various cultivation methods fly about indiscriminately.
Furthermore, to increase the efficiency of killing, various methods were spread to make the saints devour and hunt each other; even the battle between the two camps and the struggle for so-called destiny were all lies.

But it wasn't a complete lie either, since they were all strong and intelligent people; a complete lie wouldn't work. The methods they spread were also true.

The core of that remnant of the Creation Heaven of Senluo, after absorbing the soul of a saint, will give birth to a wisp of primordial law!
The core of both camps is competing for this Primordial Law. This competition is bound to be fierce; not only between the two camps, but even within each camp itself, there is competition.

When the Yanhuang civilization "saved" Tianyan Daozun, they seized a wisp of the Primordial Law, which they later used to become a Great Dao Saint. However, while refining the Primordial Law, they were attacked and exiled by their own brothers.

Exiled, then refined. Just like the goddess of nature in the past, refined little by little.

The difference is that Tianyan Daozun still had a wisp of Primordial Law within his body. At that time, the Primordial Law had not been fully refined, which actually affected Tianyan Daozun's combat power.

Furthermore, because it was a sneak attack from his own brother, and the opportunity was perfect, it left Tianyan Daozun caught in a dilemma, leading to his detention. At the same time, several of Tianyan Daozun's attendants were also involved—strong individuals cannot be killed indiscriminately, otherwise strange phenomena will occur; when they are secretly working, they can only be sealed away.

He then disguised himself as an exiled prisoner and was thrown into the void.

The choice to exile was because I couldn't hunt myself, but instead made an exchange with another faction. I'll give you my brother, and you give me your sister-in-law. From now on, I have two sisters-in-law, and you have two geigei (brothers/sisters).

Such heinous acts are quite common in the underworld. Anyway, as long as you don't catch them in the act, it's very difficult to investigate once they're dead.

Unwilling to leave the Yanhuang civilization, this foolish and audacious act, caused the balance within Tianyan Daozun's body to be disrupted by their attack. He then rapidly refined the Primordial Laws and ultimately broke through the barrier.

Therefore, the attack by the Yanhuang civilization did not directly break the cage, but only disrupted the balance, allowing Tianyan Daozun to "save himself" successfully.

After sharing the information, Chu Fei said, "Are we going to this Senluo Creation Heaven to compete for opportunities?"

Jin Tierong thought for a moment and said, "If we want to seize this opportunity, we'll probably have to contend with two major factions at the same time, especially since we don't have the Purple Star Sage. We'll probably have to continue developing for some time."

Chu Fei nodded: "Then let's develop for a while. Presumably, after such a war, we'll have tens of thousands of years to develop." (End of Chapter)
