More specifically, it was like the code generated when some kind of compiled program started up?
Chen Ming pushed his computational capacity nearly to its limit, devoting all of it aside from what was needed to maintain his body's basic functions to analyzing this code. Through the fusion of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with his body, Chen Ming gradually extracted fragmented information from the code.

Chen Ming could not access the deepest information within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but he did read some surface-level records.

Because they had overexploited their home planet, that civilization extended its reach into the universe. Although their overall technology was highly advanced, they encountered powerful individual entities known as gods during their expansion.
