Chapter 518 The Reappearance of the Projection
Hua Zitong recovered in thirty-seven minutes.
When she stood up, the dark purple cracks on her body had completely disappeared.
She moved her wrists and felt the flow of the laws within her body.
"It's better than before."
This is not just polite talk.
After the cracks in the soul were healed, the previously damaged pathways of law became smoother than before.
Just like bones that have healed after a fracture, sometimes they are stronger than before.
With the small portion of understanding of "reversal" that Li Wu passed on to her, her control over the "causal regression" law improved by more than one level.
"Can you fight?" Li Wu asked.
"I can fight, but I can't maintain a high level of output. Just give me one chance."
"Once is enough."
Gu Yuan returned at this time.
When he emerged from the spatial passage, he had several fresh wounds on his body, and half of the sleeve on his left arm was torn off.
Cangming followed behind him, in slightly better condition than Gu Yuan, but he was also clearly quite exhausted.
"The anchor point has been completely destroyed," Gu Yuan said. "The protection of the laws of the Council of Unity in the Realm of Origin has been severed, and Caesar's side has begun to counterattack."
"What's the situation with Cangming?"
Cangming answered himself: "I can move and fight, but my reserves of spatial laws are only about 30% left."
Li Wu scanned everyone's status.
Hua Zitong has just recovered and is able to perform a high-intensity workout.
Gu Yuan suffered significant losses, but his core combat strength remains intact.
Cangming lacks sufficient reserves of spatial laws, but possesses a thousand years of combat experience.
While Wind Chaser and Shadow have limited use in battles involving Law Definers, they can serve as support skills.
He himself, with 70% of his mental strength, understood the essence of [Transformation], and his ability to apply the law underwent a qualitative change.
"The projection is still on the outer track. It hasn't moved; it's waiting."
"Wait for what?" Zhui Feng asked, puzzled.
"Wait until we reveal a weakness, or wait for the main body's instructions."
Gu Yuan walked to the pillar of law, glanced at it, and then turned around:
"Its internal chaos has not yet been repaired, and this is its weakest point."
"I know," Li Wu nodded. "So let's go now."
"Now?" Zhui Feng was a little surprised.
"Should we go after it's repaired?"
Zhui Feng shut up.
Li Wu explained the plan.
Instead of a direct assault, it exploits the inherent flaws in the "definition system" of projection, creating a conflict of laws that causes it to collapse on its own.
The specific method is:
Li Wu used the power of understanding the essential laws to create a large number of interference fields of "natural law relationships" around the projection.
These interference fields do not carry any aggression; they merely present "real relationships" at the level of laws.
The projection definition system automatically scans these relationships and then attempts to redefine them.
But these relationships are "natural," they are the true state of the law itself.
If the definition system forcibly rewrites them, it will conflict with the surrounding laws and environment.
When conflicts accumulate to a certain extent, the projected internal system will become overloaded.
"It sounds like we're feeding it poison."
"Pretty much, but it will fight back. Before it gets overloaded, it will concentrate its power to fight back. At that point, someone will need to stop it."
"I'll do it," Gu Yuan said.
"Not enough." Li Wu looked at Hua Zitong. "We need your causal regression. When it retaliates, its attack itself is also a definition."
"By backtracking its attack, you are essentially revoking its definition. Each revocation adds another invalid computation to its system."
Hua Zitong nodded: "Understood."
"Cangming, you're in charge of the spatial blockade. If it tries to escape, we can't let it get away."
Cangming paused for a moment: "Thirty percent of the reserves, enough to seal off a projection at the level of a Law Definer, will last for a maximum of thirty seconds."
Thirty seconds is enough.
Li Wu took one last look at everyone.
"Set off."
He opened the path of laws leading to the outer track.
The feeling of opening the passage this time is completely different from before.
Previously, he needed to use cryptic texts to construct the structure of the passage, which required consuming mental energy to maintain its stability.
Now he has only "understood" the relationship between two points in space, and then, following that relationship, the passage naturally appears.
Consumption is almost zero.
The group entered the passage one by one.
The other end of the passage is the outer orbit of Earth, about 400 kilometers above the ground.
When they stepped out of the passage, there was a blue star beneath their feet and an endless starry sky above them.
Li Wu used the laws to create an environment around everyone that allowed them to breathe and move, and then extended their perception forward.
The projection is there.
They were about fifty kilometers away from them, hovering in the void.
The black conceptual entity that was constantly modifying itself was smaller than the last time I saw it, indicating that the previous internal chaos had indeed caused substantial damage.
But it's still there.
Moreover, it had already sensed their arrival.
The shape of the projection began to change, transforming from a disordered distortion into a more compact structure.
It is preparing for war.
"start."
With that, Li Wu drew his bow.
It's not an arcane bow, but a conceptual bow he created using laws.
There was no arrow on the bowstring, but something fluid and indefinable was gathering.
The first "Law of Nature" has been fired.
It's not an attack; it's a message packet.
It contains the true state of [Transformation] in this space.
The natural laws governing temperature changes, the natural paths of light propagation, and the natural distribution of gravitational fields.
Everything is real; there is no artificial fabrication involved.
The information packet flew to the vicinity of the projection and dispersed.
The projection definition system immediately begins scanning.
The projection reacted faster than Li Wu had anticipated.
Less than a second after the first information packet was distributed, the definition system completed the scan and began to redefine the relationships between the rules.
The natural law of temperature change has been rewritten as "constant".
The natural path of light propagation is rewritten as a "straight line".
The natural distribution of the gravitational field is rewritten as "uniform".
The three definitions are applied simultaneously, covering the area affected by the information packet.
But here is the problem.
The space surrounding that area still operates according to natural laws.
Temperature changes, light refracts, and gravity is distributed unevenly.
A boundary emerges between the defined area and the surrounding natural area.
At the boundary, the two states are in conflict.
Natural temperature changes attempt to penetrate areas defined as "constant," but are blocked by the defining system.
In order to maintain "stability", the system needs to continuously consume energy.
This is the effect Li Wu wanted.
The second one has been fired.
The third one.
The fourth branch.
Each branch represents a different state of natural law in a different region; each branch forces the definition system of projection to make a new definition; and each branch consumes the energy reserves of projection.
The projection started moving.
It stopped hovering and moved towards Li Wu, releasing a dark purple conceptual beam in an attempt to eliminate the source of the law interference as it approached.
"Gu Yuan..."
Before Li Wu could finish speaking, Gu Yuan had already rushed out.
The sword of judgment drew an arc in the void, meeting the first conceptual beam.
At the moment the sword light and the concept beam collided, the concept beam attempted to redefine the "sharpness" of the sword light as "blunt".
However, Gu Yuan's sword is engraved with the law imprint of "Erlin's Legacy".
The inscription erupted at that moment, releasing a pure power at the level of a Law Weaver, forcibly negating the definition effect.
The conceptual bundle was severed.
Gu Yuan didn't stop, he continued to rush forward, blocking the projection and Li Wu.
The projection unleashed a second wave of attack, this time not a conceptual bundle, but a territorial "definition field".
The "Power" attribute of all law users within the arena will be redefined as "Weak".
The defined field spread very quickly, and Gu Yuan was caught in it before he could dodge.
His power of law instantly decreased by 70%.
But he did not back down.
He used the remaining 30% of his power to maintain the sword's form, blocking the projection's path.
"Hua Zitong!"
Hua Zitong has already made a move.
The law of cause and effect spread from her, covering the area where Gu Yuan was located.
Backtracking.
The state of the field before it was applied was restored.
Gu Yuan's power of law returned to full value in an instant.
Meanwhile, the projection definition system recorded an "invalid operation".
It expended energy to define it, but the definition was revoked, and the energy was wasted.
This is Li Wu's plan.
He was responsible for creating a large number of natural law disturbances, forcing the projection to continuously consume energy to maintain its definition.
Hua Zitong is responsible for revoking the offensive definition of the projection and creating invalid computations.
Gu Yuan was responsible for direct containment, preventing the projection from rushing directly towards Li Wu.
Cangming was in charge of spatial sealing to prevent the projection from escaping.
Four people, four roles, working together seamlessly.
The internal chaos within the projection is intensifying.
Li Wu could sense that its definition system was beginning to experience delays.
It used to be able to complete the definition in one second, but now it takes 1.5 seconds.
Then two seconds. Then three seconds.
Because it needs to process more and more information.
The interference of natural laws emitted by Li Wu is constantly accumulating. Each interference needs a definition to suppress it, and each definition needs energy to maintain it.
Hua Zitong's causal regression is constantly revoking its aggressive definition, causing its energy to be wasted.
The projection begins to shrink.
It abandoned the initiative to attack and focused all its energy on maintaining its own existence.
But this was precisely the opportunity Li Wu had been waiting for.
"Cangming, blockade."
Cangming pushed his hands outwards, and the laws of space formed a closed spherical region around the projection. The projection was locked inside, unable to move or escape.
Thirty seconds.
In those thirty seconds, Li Wu fired all the remaining interference from the laws of nature into the sealed-off area.
Twenty, thirty, fifty.
Each one represents a different dimension of natural law, and each one conflicts with the definition of projection.
The shape of the projection began to distort violently; it was not a deliberate change, but an out-of-control one.
Its definition system can no longer keep up with the processing speed when handling hundreds of conflicts simultaneously.
The contradictions accumulate within it, like a computer running hundreds of conflicting programs simultaneously.
Then, at the twenty-seventh second, the projection definition system crashed.
