Meanwhile, when Zhao Cheng created and completed the information-form life, a powerful torrent of information erupted like a volcano, spreading in all directions as if proclaiming its existence to an entire world.
Sword Masters, and experts above the Sword Master level, all clearly caught the message contained within that information: I, Initial.
As for ordinary people, those with sharper minds only vaguely felt as though someone were speaking beside their ears. Only when they noticed it did they abruptly realize they had been hallucinating. Those whose minds were less keen felt nothing at all.
Initial was the name the cluster of information had given herself. She was the first information-form life, and thus took Initial as her name.
Such a commotion naturally stirred up discussion among the powerful once more. Some experts also sought to trace its source, but after her brief appearance, Initial fell silent. Concealed in the depths of the void, she used the information Zhao Cheng had sent her to systematically optimize herself.
She had only just been born and was still utterly ignorant, with a very weak sense of self. In essence, she was less like a living being and closer to what people called "Heaven."
Had Zhao Cheng not transmitted those things to her, after being born, she would certainly have devoured all manner of information streams on a massive scale, connected with more and more people, and endlessly expanded and strengthened herself. Such was the instinct of life—though newly born, it would instinctively plunder from the outside world.
For ordinary lifeforms, this was undoubtedly correct. But for an information-form life, that might not be so.
Before she was stable enough and had found a relatively secure anchor point, strengthening herself was like a nation wildly expanding its territory before its authority had been consolidated.
