Sword Palace Sword Formation, Virtual Divine Kingdom [Part 2]

Within the spiritual energy vortex unleashed by the sword formation, Wang Qi's consciousness spun back and forth. He saw a vortex of zeroes and ones, saw the transformations of yin and yang.

This was the most primordial place.

The Dao gave birth to One; One gave birth to Two; Two gave birth to Three; Three gave birth to all things.

Machine language came first, and only then came assembly language. Above assembly language were high-level languages, and above high-level languages was the "world" of the information age.

But the more advanced a language became, the farther it was from the original "Dao."

By the twenty-first century, even somewhat accomplished liberal arts students could design a new high-level language of their own.

Programming no longer required mathematics to intervene.

Yet Wang Qi had always felt that true computer science had to begin with mathematics.

The sole purpose of high-level languages was to "draw upon the power of more peripheral people to build a complete world."

What could lead this world forward was bound to be mathematics.

Simply put, if one wanted to become an excellent programmer, proficiency in several high-level languages was enough. But if one wanted to become a more advanced grandmaster of programming, one had to be able to program bare metal—that was, program in machine language, program with zeroes and ones.

Zeroes and ones, yin and yang, gathering and scattering without constancy.

Right here, where yin and yang first separated, Wang Qi slowly constructed a system.

Merely finishing the server amounted to nothing. Wang Qi's ultimate goal was still to hack into a portion of Holy Emperor's divine kingdom, then use the false scene created by a virtual divine kingdom to deceive Holy Emperor.

Weaving illusion realms was a required course for the "programmer apes" of the Divine
