Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

“Master!”

Ye Qingzhou's sight penetrated the dimensional barrier and met Lin Xian.

There were no words, only a pure sword intent coming through the World Tree link - that was the ultimate secret of the "Chaos Sword Sutra", not a move or a mental method, but a section of "Reverse True Name"!
The white buds suddenly emitted a blindingly bright light.

Its quantum core was running at an overclocked speed, materializing the information sent by Ye Qingzhou - nine nested Mandelbrot sets, with a reversed golden script engraved in the center of each fractal pattern.

“Crack completed!”

Bai Ya's voice began to distort: ​​"This is the mathematical expression of the 'True Name of Chaos' of the Nine Pillars Demon God!"

Lin Xian's World Tree's arms stretched out automatically and began to carve in the void.

With every stroke of the pen, gears fell from the sky.

When the sixth golden secret text was completed, the entire Xuanqiong Imperial City began to fade away, revealing the underlying real topological structure - the "world" they were in was nothing more than a Klein bottle floating on the sea of ​​entropy!

"it's useless."

Oneilos' voice suddenly sounded from Lin Xian's body.

He was horrified to find that his heartbeat was turning into a pendulum movement: "Do you think the true name is a weapon? No, it is a shackle. Every existence that knows the true name will become a part of the dimension..."

Lin Xian's writing suddenly froze, and a countdown appeared on his retina, with each number made up of tiny gears.

What's even more terrifying is that these gears are converting his past memories into static images - his mother's dying smile, the feeling of holding a sword for the first time, the fine lines at the corners of Ye Qingzhou's eyes when he was teaching him sword techniques... all are being compressed into two-dimensional photos.

“Cognition… solidification…”

Lin Xian's thoughts began to sluggish. Through his gradually blurry vision, he saw Bai Ya wrapping the wooden sword with his wings of light, and Ye Qingzhou's face on the wooden sword was becoming clearer and clearer.

"Host Lin Xian, execute the final agreement." Bai Ya's mechanical voice suddenly had an emotional fluctuation, "I will perform a dimensional downgrade to buy you 0.9 seconds of absolute sobriety."

Without waiting for a response, Baiya suddenly disintegrated.

Its mechanical part turned into a pure data storm that impacted the clock dimension, while the world tree part merged into Lin Xian's wooden body.

In these precious 0.9 seconds, Lin Xian completed the engraving of the last three runes.

The inverse true name matrix composed of the nine golden secret texts started to run rumblingly, Oneilos made a harsh metallic twisting sound, and the clocks that made up Him began to accelerate or reverse abnormally.

Lin Xian took the opportunity to rush towards the dimensional gate, and the World Tree's arm stretched out towards Ye Qingzhou, who was left in human form.

“Catch me!”

Ye Qingzhou shook his head.

His lips did not move, but his voice echoed directly in Lin Xian's sea of ​​consciousness: "Remember, the World Tree chose you because..."

A chaos root suddenly pierced Ye Qingzhou's chest. At the last moment before he was completely transformed into a tree, he threw something towards Lin Xian - it was a crystal branch, with the same luster as the Dream-Breaking Blade flowing on its surface.

"This is the backbone of the first generation host of the World Tree!"

Bai Ya's remaining consciousness exclaimed.

The moment Lin Xian caught the heart bone, the entire ninth dimension began to collapse.

Oneilos's form disintegrated into countless diamond-like moments, each fragment reflecting Lin Xian from different timelines. These mirror images suddenly spoke at the same time, and the voices overlapped into a deafening declaration:

"You just delayed the end by 0.9 epochs—"

Reality shattered like glass.

Lin Xian fell back to normal time and space and found that the monks had just ended their solidified state.

All they saw was Lin Xian suddenly disappearing and reappearing, with a crystal clear branch on his right arm.

"Master Lin! Your eyes..."

someone exclaimed.

Lin Xian touched his face and his fingertips touched the cold crystal - his right eye had turned into a nebula structure similar to that of Emperor Qingming at some point.

Through this eye, he saw the essence of the world: every living thing was a walking equation, every stone was a solidified algorithm, and above the three surviving dynasties in the distance, projections of demons in different forms were floating.

The most frightening thing is the end of the sky - there is a phantom of an upside-down world tree, with the decimal number "9" engraved on the trunk, and there is only a tiny question mark in the position of "10".

“White bud?”

Lin Xian called out softly, but only received a faint electronic noise in response.

The silvery-white lines on the wooden sword had faded, but an almost invisible sprout had sprouted on the hilt.

The monks gathered around, each with varying degrees of woodiness.

The one who was in the most serious condition had already turned half of his body into a tree, but the fighting spirit in his eyes remained undiminished: "Please give the order. You have become the new host of the World Tree."

Lin Xian tightly grasped the First Generation Heart Bone and the wooden sword. The moment the two objects touched, a star map emerged in his mind - with eight coordinates marked, each corresponding to a secret realm that had not yet been completely swallowed by the Demon Abyss.

And at the edge of the star map, there is a flickering red light moving towards Xuanqiong.

"Emperor Qingming is still alive."

Lin Xian suddenly became convinced of this, and said with a firm tone: "She is coming with the 'seeding plan'."

He turned to the crowd, and the branches of the World Tree automatically outlined a battle plan on the ground: "Divide into three groups. The first team will go to the Ziwei ruins to search for the Emperor's bloodline; the second team will contact the surviving monks to establish a chaotic true energy network; the third team..."

Lin Xian paused, and Xingyun looked at a certain point in the void with his right eye: "Follow me to welcome the 'variables beyond the end'."

Everyone followed his gaze, but only saw an ordinary sky.

Only Lin Xian sensed through his first-generation heart bone that in the chaos of the ninth dimension's collapse, a "tenth-dimensional existence" that shouldn't have existed cast a glimpse over him.

This glance caused all the leaves of the World Tree to tremble at the same time.

The heart of the first generation host felt hot in Lin Xian’s palm.

Countless miniature star maps appeared on the surface of this crystal branch, and each line was a topological projection of a certain dimension.

Through the newly born nebula right eye, Lin Xian saw an incredible sight - curled up inside the heart bone were nine different Ye Qingzhous, from young boys to completely transformed trees. They all raised their heads at the same time, their lips opening and closing as they spoke the same words:

“Find the umbilical cord of the World Tree.”

The remaining young shoots of the white buds suddenly emitted quantum vibrations.

It fell off the wooden hilt and floated above the heart bone. The moment the two touched, a holographic star map unfolded in the void: the nine great dynasties were like pearls on a necklace surrounding the central void, and there was a miniature world tree without leaves suspended there.

“This is… the sowing plan?”

Lin Xian reached out and touched the projection.

As soon as his fingertips touched the blank area, Xingyun felt a tearing pain in his right eye - he saw it!
Outside the ninth dimension, in the blind spot of Chaos Demon's cognition, there is a dry tree trunk floating in the absolute void.

Ten roots extended from the cross section of the tree trunk, nine of which were entangled with the remains of the demon, and the tenth... the tenth root was broken, and the broken end was flashing with the same light as the Dream Breaker Blade.

"Warning! Interference from the ninth dimension is intensifying!" The tender buds of the white buds suddenly issued a rapid alarm.

Lin Xian suddenly came back to his senses and discovered that the space-time around him was undergoing decoherence - the rubble of the Xuanqiong ruins existed in both collapsed and uncollapsed quantum states, and the bodies of the monks appeared to be distributed in a probability cloud.

The gear clocks in the sky regrouped, this time forming a perfect Penrose triangle.

Oneilos' voice was as cold and precise as mathematics: "You have misunderstood the variables. Ye Qingzhou is not an accident, but a necessity - at the end of every era, there will be external anomalies. They are both variables and a correction mechanism of the universe."

A pointer made of solidified time pierced Lin Xian's forehead.

At the critical moment, the first generation heart bone automatically blocked, making a sound like a bell.

Lin Xian was blown away by the shock wave and crashed into the quantized wreckage of the star hub. Through the distorted space, he saw an even more terrifying scene.

The sky in the direction of Emperor Qingming completely turned into an hourglass shape, and countless memory chips fell like snowflakes.

Where the Ziwei Secret Realm is located, a huge Rubik's Cube made up of human skin pages quietly emerges.

And at the farthest border of Xuanqiong, a crystallized giant was slowly standing up...

"Nine demon gods descended at the same time..."

One monk opened his mouth only to be transformed into a glass statue, his words sealed forever in his crystallized throat.

The young shoots of white buds suddenly burst into bright light.

It pierced into Lin Xian Xingyun's right eye and projected a set of equations directly into the visual cortex: "Ye Qingzhou's residual signal detected! Coordinates locked!"

Lin Xian's Jianmu arm was inserted into the ground uncontrollably.

The dark gold roots stretched downwards crazily, penetrating the nine-dimensional barrier. At the moment when the last dimensional membrane was broken, he saw an incredible scene!
Ye Qingzhou's completely tree-like body stands in the dimensional gap, with Jianmu branches and chaotic roots intertwined to form a Klein bottle structure.

But at this moment, the torso was glowing from the inside, and every wood texture showed the golden secret text that Lin Xian had never seen before. It was not a spell from the world of cultivation, but... the mathematical expression of a self-referential function!

“Master!”

Ye Qingzhou could no longer speak, but through the Jianmu link, a huge amount of information directly poured into Lin Xian's consciousness.

The real name of the World Tree is "Yggdrasil Nirvana". Its roots are above and its crown is below. The current universe is nothing more than a dead leaf that is about to fall.

The Nine-Pillar Demon Gods are indeed the remains of the last era - reaching the other side by force is not without cost, and the Dream of Floating Life is the means by which the Nine-Pillar Demon Gods resurrect themselves.

And what they fear is not the World Tree itself, but the "existence" that the broken tenth root points to.

The most shocking thing is the truth of "Chaos Sword Manual" - it is not just a martial art, but also a piece of initialization code for restarting the World Tree!

“So you want to…”

A final human smile appeared on Ye Qingzhou's tree-like face.

Then, his body began to disintegrate, each wooden cell transforming into pure light.

These lights did not spread out in all directions, but rose along an invisible dimensional axis, constructing a completely new mathematical structure above the nine dimensions!

“He’s creating the tenth dimension!”

The quantum branches of the white buds grew wildly: "Reconstructing the foundation of the universe through self-sacrifice!"

Oneilos made a harsh sound of twisting metal, and all the gears and clocks stopped at the same time, trying to freeze the process.

But it was too late. The light that Ye Qingzhou transformed into broke through the mathematical limitations - there should not be any structure higher than nine dimensions there, but at the cost of his own life, he tore a crack of possibility in the absolute fate!
Dark golden blood suddenly flowed out of Lin Xian's Xingyun right eye.

Through the first generation heart bone, he saw a bigger picture: at the end of each era, there would be a Jianmu host trying to break through the dimensional limitations, and their failed remains would be the demons of the next era.

Ye Qingzhou, an outsider, is the ninety-ninth attempter and the only one who discovered the truth - there must be both a "sacrifice" and a "sower".

"So this is... a two-variable plan..."

The tender buds of the white bud suddenly fully unfolded. It absorbed the energy of the first generation heart bone and evolved into a palm-sized life form of light.

At this moment, its upper body retains the outline of a mechanical female general, while its lower body is the silver-white Jianmu root system, with light wings made of Riemann surfaces stretching behind it.

"Name upgrade: World Tree Core."

Its voice exists at all times simultaneously: "Mission changed to: Assist the Seeders in completing the dimensional revolution."

Lin Xian gripped the wooden sword tightly and found that Ye Qingzhou's face on the sword was fading.

The final inheritance was passed on through the Jianmu link - it was not a sword move, nor a mental method, but a self-referential function formula, full of the beauty of mathematical simplicity, yet pointing directly to the origin of the Tao.

“Remember, the tenth dimension is not space…”

Ye Qingzhou's last words were like the wind blowing through the leaves: "It is... a possibility..."

The completely tree-like body turned into light dust at this moment.

These light dusts did not dissipate, but rose along the dimensional axis of their own creation, forming a dazzling star wheel outside the Ninth Heaven.

The nine demon gods roared in pain, and their dimensional structure began to become unstable.

"It's now!"

The World Tree Core unfolds its Riemann Light Wings: "The location of the umbilical cord pointed by the heart bone of the first generation host has been calculated!"

Lin Xian's Jianmu arm automatically cut open his chest.

No blood gushed out, only dark golden chaotic energy was spinning.

He pressed the first generation heart bone against his heart, and the moment the two merged, a beam of light burst out through the sky and the earth!
This beam of light does not go upward, but downward - penetrating all dimensions and reaching the "umbilical cord" at the bottom of the World Tree.

Lin Xian felt himself being broken down into elementary particles and then reassembled in each dimension. When his vision was restored, he was standing in absolute darkness, with the dry tree trunk section in front of him.

The tenth broken root system is right in front of us.

Lin Xian raised his right arm, which had turned to wood up to the shoulder, and gently touched the broken part. Unexpectedly, the touch was not wood, but some kind of memory that was crystallizing.

In an instant, countless images flooded into my mind...

He saw Ye Qingzhou's shock when he found the Jianmu seedling on the nameless planet;
Seeing the ceremony in which Emperor Qing Ming was chosen as the "pruner" when he was still a girl;

Seeing the nanosecond when the robot woman first developed autonomous consciousness;

Even seeing the possibility of other reincarnations that I have never experienced...

“Is this what an umbilical cord really looks like?”

Lin Xian muttered to himself: "The World Tree's... memory bank?"

The World Tree Core suddenly sounded an alarm: "Oneilos is breaking through the dimensional barrier! He is trying to pollute the tenth dimension into a new realm of chaos!"

Lin Xian turned around and saw a wave of broken clocks appearing in the darkness. (End of this chapter)
