The story shifted to another front. At the center of the Cosmic Great Wall, another extraordinary change was taking place.
"Too bad I arrived one step too late. They still managed to succeed."
At that moment, what floated above the Cosmic Great Wall was an indescribable AI.
It was neither a physical entity nor pure energy. It more closely resembled an "information aggregate" or "embodiment of laws" filled with the radiance of absolute rationality.
Its form defied description in three-dimensional language, as if countless data streams, logic chains, repair protocols, and stabilizing fields were constantly being born, extinguished, and reorganized into a "concept of light."
It had no face or limbs, only a pervasive, cold, and efficient "radiance." It was like the most precise scanning ray, yet also the gentlest repair field, quietly spilling over everything.
Under the illumination of this "radiance," the wounds inflicted by the mechanical uprising throughout the Cosmic Great Wall and the vast starfields around it were being "smoothed over" at a visible speed.
The mass and orbital data of planets whose structures had collapsed were recalibrated, while their missing portions were filled with base matter "printed" from the void. Nebulae forcibly reverted to their original energy states by the "Great Reversion" had their chaotic energy flows combed through and returned to orderly circulation. Even the data fragments of some tiny civilization ruins whose existence information had been erased by the "Great Unloading" were painstakingly extracted from redundant backups in spacetime, reorganized, and "restored" into projections resembling their original forms...
The Ancient Machine Elder and the Ancient Guardians stood below it. Even the most mild-tempered Ancient Guardian looked extremely grim.
As for the Ancient Machine Elder, his condition was even worse.
The old fellow's enormous body was covered in charred cracks and holes. Countless gears, pistons,
