The Gorgeous Rebellion

This terrifying power of thought shocked even Zhao Cheng himself.

Though he had long known that Opening Heaven and Establishing the Way was a qualitative transformation, just how much had his mental power increased at this moment—a hundredfold, or a thousandfold?!

And this was merely pure mental power. In the online world, given the support of sufficient hardware, every single portion of that mental power was enough to lever computation measured in the tens of thousands.

Yet such computational power had an upper limit. That limit was not the limit of hardware, but the limit of human willpower.

Powerful mental strength and computational power both required will to command them. Will commanded thought; thought did not command thought.

Once computational power surpassed its limit, it became what was known as thought surpassing will. The only result was the rapid extinction of humanity, replaced by absolute rationality.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng finally understood that the four people in this world who had achieved Opening Heaven and Establishing the Way had not lost themselves solely because they visualized gods and Buddhas. Part of the reason was that their own willpower had been unable to command such computational power.

"Power" that expanded without limit would ultimately bring only the destruction of the self.

Meanwhile, the upheaval in the online world was sensed by many of this world's powerful figures.

The phenomenon of Opening Heaven and Establishing the Way stirring heaven and earth could not possibly be concealed.

Reflected in electronic devices, it meant that the network was undergoing enormous fluctuations at this moment. The colossal torrent of information could even cause devices currently exchanging data with the network to crash outright.

But from the perspective of the many thought evolutionaries who had already achieved cerebral evolution, it was truly the opening of
