"What's wrong, Zhi Xin? Is Lin Ye gone?"
Angel Yan hurried forward, peering into the confinement room.
The room was empty, and the energy beam that had been used to imprison him had vanished.
Lin Ye was missing?
Yan paused, then nudged the dazed Zhi Xin beside her. "Zhi Xin, what happened?"
"I don't know either." Zhi Xin felt like crying. "I locked Lin Ye inside, and he said he wanted to sleep, so I left."
"Him wanting to sleep was obviously a lie. How could you be so careless?"
"I—I didn't think he could leave."
Watching the two wing guards argue, Holy Kaisha's cold eyes flashed with white light as she accessed her knowledge base, tracing back what had happened here about half an hour ago.
When she saw how Lin Ye had escaped, Kaisha was surprised. He had broken the energy beam with his bare hands?
"Stop arguing. This human named Lin Ye is smarter than you think."
"Yes."
Hearing their Queen speak, Zhi Xin and Yan knelt on one knee.
"But, Queen, how did he leave?" Zhi Xin still didn't understand and had to get to the bottom of it.
"He broke the energy beam and walked out." Kaisha turned and left, tossing the words over her shoulder without looking back.
Both Yan and Zhi Xin were startled. Broke the energy beam? This room, designed specifically for confinement, could imprison even a Third Generation Divine Body.
Lin Ye had actually broken the energy beam. First the Heavenly Blade Judgment, now the energy beam.
This guy...
What kind of monster was he? Could he really be more knowledgeable than angels who had lived for tens of thousands of years?
Just then.
Holy Kaisha's voice drifted back like an echo from a valley.
"Activate angel alert, seal off the Merlot Heavenly Court. Find this human."
"Yes!"
Meanwhile.
Lin Ye had already reached the outskirts of the Angel Grand Research Institute, blocked by a special white energy barrier.
Huh, this energy barrier was even more refined than the confinement that had held him.
Lin Ye reached out and touched the energy barrier. Ripples spread from the point of contact, and a numbing electric sensation traveled up his palm.
With a thought, Lin Ye activated the Concept Rewrite Engine.
[Concept Rewrite Engine activated. Command: Analyze target.] [Target: Protective barrier set by Sky Base King Hexi, the universe's top lifeform. Deconstructing...]
Five seconds passed.
Only then did the Concept Rewrite Engine break through the energy barrier.
[Ding! Host successfully decomposed the protective barrier. Obtained 50 Decomposition Value.]
As expected of Sky Base King Hexi. Her energy barrier had taken the Concept Rewrite Engine a full five seconds.
Lin Ye's eyes showed admiration, and he grew even more eager to meet Sky Base King Hexi, to see if he could decompose some of her technological creations.
Like the great weapon Star Fate, or a Celestial Computer.
Hum!
The energy barrier before him dissipated like ripples on water, revealing a passage tall enough for a person. Inside, greenery stretched out, and the scent of flowers and grass drifted in with the breeze, refreshing the mind.
Shouldn't be a trap.
Lin Ye hesitated briefly, then stepped into the passage.
The moment he entered the Angel Grand Research Institute, a piercing alarm rang out across the Merlot Heavenly Court. Angels flew past the spot Lin Ye had occupied earlier, but since Hexi disliked being disturbed, they didn't approach the institute.
Inside the Angel Grand Research Institute, the outside alarm was completely cut off. Lin Ye, focused on searching for technological creations, had no idea he was already being tracked by Holy Kaisha, one of the universe's most powerful beings.
Inside the Angel Grand Research Institute.
Crack! Crack!
Before a wall of glass-like material, Lin Ye withdrew his hand, looked at the spiderweb of cracks covering the glass, and blew gently.
Clatter!
The unknown-material glass wall shattered into fragments, scattering across the floor.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. Obtained 500 Decomposition Value.]
"What the hell is this thing? The Concept Rewrite Engine actually took a full minute to crack it."
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Lin Ye's eyes flickered with curiosity as he looked at the scene behind the glass wall.
The reward for dismantling a single glass wall was equivalent to dismantling five Heavenly Blade Judgments.
With defenses this tight, what exactly was hidden inside?
Lin Ye stepped through the glass wall. The moment he entered, a highly technological scene unfolded before him—various planets orbited steadily along their star tracks, butterfly-like creatures fluttered above them, forming layer after layer of the Merlot Heavenly Court's defensive Sky Base.
Beep... beep... beep...
Occasionally, the mechanical sound of calculations rang out, giving the whole scene a distinctly sci-fi feel.
This was a laboratory—a laboratory dedicated to the study of celestial bodies.
It was as if a sci-fi blockbuster had been brought to life.
Even Lin Ye was stunned by the awe-inspiring technological spectacle, standing frozen in place for a moment.
Because this laboratory was truly breathtaking!
It was filled with all kinds of technological creations, and at the very center sat a computational trajectory composed of celestial bodies—a Celestial Computer.
After all, every living being's computational power had its limits. They needed the assistance of a Celestial Computer to aid in their calculations.
Even Holy Kaisha relied on the Sacred Knowledge Repository to assist her computations.
And the most powerful Celestial Computer in the entire Super God world was the Great Clock, controlled by Death God Karl.
Below it were the Sacred Knowledge Repository and Hexi's Sky Base Computation Cluster.
The magnificent and awe-inspiring technological creation before him was precisely a Celestial Computer!
If he could have a Celestial Computer of his own, it might even assist the Concept Rewrite Engine's computations.
Lin Ye reached out and touched this sci-fi creation, his eyes brimming with excitement. Without hesitation, he activated the Concept Rewrite Engine.
"Concept Rewrite Engine activated. Designation: Analyze target."
"This target is a next-generation Celestial Computer, a research achievement of Sky Base King Hexi. Analysis difficulty: High!"
"Attempting dismantle: 1s... 5s. Dismantle failed!"
"Target contains mysteries too profound. Activating overload operation on Concept Rewrite Engine."
"Dismantling in progress. Estimated countdown: ten minutes."
Listening to the voice deep within his mind, Lin Ye realized the Concept Rewrite Engine had entered overload mode.
It seemed this Celestial Computer, stored in such an airtight location, was extremely valuable.
With a ten-minute countdown, he needed to carefully consider his next move.
Even if he gained the knowledge of the Celestial Computer, he might not be able to take it with him. Building a Celestial Computer of his own would require massive manpower and resources.
He couldn't just leave empty-handed. He had to find a way to maximize his gains.
Lin Ye stroked his chin, his mind racing.
He had already cracked quite a few technological creations along the way, acquiring knowledge about them.
With such a vast knowledge base, he could easily create a technological creation with his own hands.
As for a reference, the Celestial Computer before him was the best model.
So, what should he research?
After a long moment.
Lin Ye lifted his head, two sharp gleams flashing in his eyes. Drawing from his past life's experience with sci-fi novels, he thought of something that could replace a Celestial Computer!
It was the Sophon, invented by the Trisolarans in The Three-Body Problem!
The principle behind creating a Sophon was to weld circuits onto a proton—the smallest microscopic particle—thereby creating a supercomputer.
And Lin Ye had always believed that the people of the Super God world had overlooked the microscopic particle level.
By creating a Sophon, he might be able to defend himself from a microscopic perspective.
Even without the knowledge of Trisolaran civilization, he could apply the operational principles of a Celestial Computer to a proton. Perhaps he could even handcraft a Sophon.
With a microscopic-level supercomputer, he could boost the Concept Rewrite Engine's processing speed!
More importantly, a Sophon was extremely portable—no need to worry about angels inspecting it.
So Lin Ye immediately got to work. While using the Concept Rewrite Engine to read the Celestial Computer's data, he gathered a ball of white light in his palm and began handcrafting a Sophon.
