Xuanzheng sat cross-legged in the center of Pangu Hall, his mind calm, preparing to fix his own bugs first.
Those seven subtle law conflicts, like minor flaws on jade, were bothersome if not removed.
"Manual, first maximize the deduction function of the [Script Mirror] for me. I want to create a 'custom-made' repair package targeting these seven bugs!" Xuanzheng chuckled inwardly.
The surface of the [Script Mirror] flickered with flowing light, threads of fate intertwining, disassembling, and reassembling. Moments later, an optimal repair sequence and resource allocation plan tailored to Xuanzheng's current state was presented.
"Starting with the 'delay bug in the connection between the Law of Strength and the Law of Speed during extreme bursts'? Interesting."
With a thought, Xuanzheng mobilized the Ancestral Witch Origin within him. Simultaneously, the Purple-Gold Auspicious Cloud of World-Opening Merit behind his head trembled slightly, shedding a strand of purple-gold light that merged into his repair process.
"Buzz!"
A strange tingling sensation spread through his limbs and bones.
He could clearly "see" how the stiffness and obstruction between the two law energies, when pushing strength and speed to their limits, were smoothed out by the gentle embrace of the Purple-Gold Auspicious Cloud and the precise sorting of the Pangu Origin, as if coated with the finest lubricant, becoming seamless and unimpeded!
Xuanzheng instinctively clenched his fist, feeling his strength gather and erupt like a flowing dragon, without any stagnation. The burst of power in that instant was actually a sliver sharper!
"As expected!" Xuanzheng rejoiced inwardly, "[Script Mirror] did not deceive me! With the aid of World-Opening Merit, not only has the absorption efficiency of the Pangu Origin increased slightly, but my understanding of the laws has also gained a profound insight."
Following the same procedure, the remaining six bugs—the desynchronization between Spatial Perception and Time Flow Prediction, the energy dissipation when activating the Destruction Law, the delayed response of physical defense at specific angles—were efficiently resolved by Xuanzheng using the "Script Mirror deduction + World-Opening Merit assistance + Pangu Origin repair" model!
With the seven bugs repaired, Xuanzheng slowly opened his eyes and stood up.
He felt his whole body refreshed, his thoughts manifesting as surging power like a dragon. His control over the laws was as natural as moving his own arm!
Every movement was filled with coordination and smoothness.
"Hoo…" He let out a long sigh, feeling the surging power within him, at least ten percent stronger than before. A smile involuntarily spread across his face, "Now that my own minor issues are cleared, it's time to 'send warmth' to my elder brothers!"
With improved strength and greater confidence, Xuanzheng's eyes gleamed with calculation as he began to formally prepare his "Pangu Hall Material Crowdfunding Plan."
He first paced alone in the hall, his expression shifting with his thoughts, while mentally rehearsing his arguments using the [Script Mirror].
"Towards Elder Brother Dijiang, I must emphasize the righteous cause of the Witch Clan and Father God's entrustment to ignite his sense of responsibility; towards Second Brother Zhujiuyin, I must show absolute sincerity and urgency, making him recognize the immense benefits of this matter for the Witch Clan from a 'results-oriented' perspective…" At times solemn, at times compassionate, and at times with a hint of desperate resolve, it was as if he were rehearsing a battle between heaven and man.
When his emotions were sufficiently brewed, Xuanzheng took a deep breath, tidied his animal skin robe, and then, with hurried steps, headed towards Dijiang's cultivation place.
"Elder Brother!" Xuanzheng's voice was filled with suppressed gravity and urgency.
Dijiang, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened them upon hearing the sound. Seeing Xuanzheng's usually "simple and honest" face now filled with solemnity and determination, he couldn't help but feel a jolt, "Thirteenth Brother, what is causing such haste?"
Xuanzheng stepped forward two paces, his lips trembling for a long while before he seemed to make a great decision, his voice low but clear, "Elder Brother! Father God… Father God appeared in my dream again last night!"
"What?!" Dijiang shot up, the Law of Space around him surging, revealing his inner turmoil, "What instructions does Father God have?!"
Xuanzheng wore an expression of heavy, unbearable grief, saying, "Father God said that Pangu Hall is the foundation of our Witch Clan's standing in the Primordial World, the nexus of our destiny! However, after endless years of erosion, the hall has many damaged areas, and numerous hidden dangers remain unaddressed. If not repaired and reinforced in time, not only will the Ancestral Qi within the hall dissipate faster, but it… it may even affect the overall destiny of our Witch Clan, and even… even risk its collapse during the future Calamity!"
By the end, Xuanzheng's voice was tinged with a sob, which, combined with his "innocent" gaze, made him appear incredibly sincere, leaving no doubt about the truthfulness of his words.
"Such a thing has happened?!" Dijiang was greatly alarmed. He knew the importance of Pangu Hall better than anyone! It was formed from Father God's heart, the root of the Witch Clan! If something happened to Pangu Hall, then the future of the Witch Clan…
"Father God… did Father God give any guidance on how to repair it?" Dijiang anxiously grabbed Xuanzheng's arm.
Xuanzheng's face showed a "perfectly timed" look of difficulty, his eyes filled with "worry" for his elder brothers, "Father God naturally bestowed methods for repair and reinforcement, but… but the required heavenly treasures are numerous, and the quantity… is truly astonishing. I… I worry that my other elder brothers, who are usually careless, might… might think I am crying wolf and refuse to help wholeheartedly…"
"Nonsense!" Dijiang's brow furrowed. The majesty of an Ancestral Witch of Space erupted, "Thirteenth Brother, rest assured! This matter concerns the survival of our Witch Clan, and it is guided by Father God's personal dream. Which blind fool would dare to disobey?! As for the materials, we twelve Ancestral Witches will scrape together every last bit, even if we have to sell our pots and pans! Anyone who dares to be insincere will face my wrath, regardless of brotherhood!"
Elder Brother is indeed Elder Brother, such awareness is high!
Xuanzheng's face immediately showed an expression of "moved to tears," "Elder Brother understands righteousness. This younger brother… this younger brother thanks you on behalf of Father God and all the sons and daughters of our Witch Clan!"
"We are brothers, why say such things!" Dijiang waved his hand, then continued, "Without delay, let us go find Second Brother Zhujiuyin! He is the wisest. With his support, this matter will be half accomplished!"
Xuanzheng's face was a mask of "gratitude and deep affection" and "trusting reliance," "Everything depends on Elder Brother's decision!"
Thus, accompanied by Dijiang, Xuanzheng arrived at Zhujiuyin's dark and deep palace.
"Second Brother!" Xuanzheng spoke before Dijiang, and once again, with great emotion, performed the meticulously crafted script of "Father God's Dream 2.0: Pangu Hall is in grave danger, urgent need for collective effort to build the divine hall."
During this, he also "inadvertently" revealed that the Pangu Hall, after being repaired and strengthened, would not only better gather Father God's blessings and stabilize the Witch Clan's destiny but could also significantly enhance the hall's effect in nourishing the bloodline of the Witch Clan's descendants, and even bring unimaginable benefits to their own cultivation as Ancestral Witches.
Zhujiuyin's eyes, which had seen through the ages, quietly watched Xuanzheng, as if the river of time were flowing within them. He silently circulated the Law of Time, tracing every subtle emotional fluctuation and every change in Xuanzheng's gaze during his speech.
However, under the reflection of the Law of Time, this thirteenth brother's emotions, though agitated from beginning to end, showed no flaws in their core sincerity and urgency! It was as if every word came from the bottom of his heart, without any pretense!
Zhujiuyin could even sense the aura of World-Opening Merit that Xuanzheng had gained from repairing some of Pangu Hall's bugs, as well as the more solidified and pure Ancestral Witch Origin after his Dao Foundation had stabilized. These could not be faked. Could it be… Father God truly had a special favor and arrangement for this newborn thirteenth brother?
(Xuanzheng's inner monologue: Nonsense! I used the [Myriad Heavens Script Mirror] to simulate and deduce the "Best True Emotion Displayed Actor-Level Performance Plan" hundreds of times! I even accounted for the natural changes in my aura after my cultivation improved! Time reversal? Small potatoes!)
After a long while, a solemn expression slowly appeared on Zhujiuyin's face. He nodded slightly, "Since Father God has given guidance, and this matter truly concerns the fundamental interests of our Witch Clan, I observe that your aura has been steady recently, and your Dao Foundation is far more stable than when you first awoke, which I presume is also Father God's blessing. This matter is indeed the utmost priority for our Witch Clan and brooks no mistakes."
Dijiang was overjoyed, "Second Brother agrees too! Wonderful!"
Having secured the support of the two most influential and intelligent figures, Xuanzheng felt his heart settle. The next step was to gather the other Ancestral Witches and stage the grand play of "collective contribution"!
He cleared his throat, his face bearing the solemnity and sanctity of a "Father God-appointed spokesperson," and said to Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, "Elder Brother, Second Brother, since that is the case, please summon the other elder brothers to Pangu Hall for a discussion. Father God's dream is no trivial matter. The list of materials required to repair Pangu Hall, this younger brother has memorized. However… there are a few key main materials that may require the use of your treasured collections…"
Having said this, Xuanzheng paused as if deliberately. The patterns on the palm of his left hand, where the [Immeasurable Karma Scale] was located, quietly emitted a faint glow in an unobserved corner. The corners of his mouth curved into a smile only he could understand, and he thought to himself, "Elder brothers, are your private savings ready to be 'confiscated for the rise of the Witch Clan'? Don't rush, later there will be the 'Father God Certified · Karma Scale' to weigh your 'contribution value' on the spot, speaking with data to see who is Father God's most beloved child! The more you contribute, the greater the benefits and destiny feedback you will receive from Pangu Hall in the future. I must use the [Karma Scale] to calculate this clearly for you!"
