However, none of the eleven Sovereigns noticed.
At the very deepest core of the "Source" they relied on for survival and trusted absolutely,
an abnormal data fragment they believed had long since been completely erased by Origin Devour had not disappeared at all. Instead, like the most deeply entrenched virus,
it had perfectly integrated into the Source's underlying architecture—and was undergoing an astonishing transformation!
The consciousness of Yuan Thirteen, like an ancient primordial beast lying dormant, quietly awoke.
The Infinite Evolution Core that Lu Chen's true body had expended immense Saint power to transmit with pinpoint accuracy across endless spacetime
was floating in the very core of his consciousness, like a metallic Rubik's Cube that constantly rotated, disassembled, and reassembled.
Countless nanoscale units wriggled and combined, radiating nearly infinite potential and Qi of Creation.
"Infinite evolution... fusion..."
Yuan Thirteen's consciousness operated with cold efficiency.
It frantically analyzed the ultimate mysteries of this mechanical-side Primordial Supreme Treasure.
His database updated at an unprecedented speed.
Countless forbidden truths concerning "evolution," "breakthrough," and "life leaps" were unlocked.
At the same time, he pushed the Laws of Thieving the Great Dao to their utmost limit, transforming them into countless data tendrils more secretive than quantum ghosts.
Like the most nimble hands, they continued stealing the Source's underlying control authority.
With every theft, they penetrated deeper into the core.
Control level: 10%... 15%... 30%...! The progress bar jumped wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Because of the arrival of the Infinite Evolution Core, the speed at which his authority increased accelerated exponentially once more!
This treasure seemed to have been born specifically to control and evolve a mechanical origin source like the Source!
It emitted a strange same-frequency fluctuation, allowing Yuan Thirteen to understand the Source's fundamental structure even more thoroughly.
