In the early morning of the forty-eighth day, Xu Wuyi felt the third jump of the Crystal inside Fruit while picking up the teacup on the tree stump.
In the past few hours, its surface texture no longer just continued to emit high-frequency pulses, but began to actively send out a brand-new signal.
The waveform of that signal is more complex than ever before, and the information density has reached a new level. The information carried in the signal is no longer a simple structural map or operational logic or inherited memory or breakthrough guidance, but a complete fusion instruction.
In his inner vision, he followed the unfolding of the set of signals.
The signal starts from the Root System node on the surface of Crystal, extends along the Fruit pattern in the direction of Tree Trunk, and is automatically decomposed, absorbed, and integrated when it reaches the middle section of Tree Trunk.
After integration, the brightness of the texture in the middle section of Tree Trunk has significantly improved, but this improvement is different from any previous one. The structure of the texture itself is changing, as if a new frame layer has been superimposed on the original structure, and that frame layer carries a complete fusion instruction.
He observed the shape of the frame layer inwardly.
It consists of multiple mutually nested structural levels, starting from the Root System network at the bottom, extending upwards from the Tree Trunk main body, and bifurcating into multiple branches at the upper middle of Tree Trunk. The ends of the branches are evenly distributed with fine bright spots. There is a bright light spot in the center of Tree Canopy, and an equally bright light spot at the bottom of Tree Trunk.
The shape of the entire tree is completely presented in the texture on the surface of Tree Trunk, but this time the presentation method is no longer just a visual outline, it carries complete fusion instructions-the steps for the fusion of the physical body and Tree Trunk, the steps for the fusion of spirit and Tree Canopy, and the steps for the fusion of rules and Root System, all of which are completely delivered in the form of structural mapping.
He continued to receive the set of signals in his inner vision, allowing it to slowly unfold in his consciousness.
The unfolding process lasted for a long time, from early morning to late afternoon.
When the last segment of that set of signals was fully unfolded in his consciousness, he saw a complete fusion command in his inner vision. That command told him that the final breakthrough of Ancient God Method required integrating the entire human existence-physical body, spirit, and rules-into this tree.
The physical body merges with Tree Trunk, allowing flesh, bones, and cells to be rewoven by Tree Trunk's rules. Every inch of texture corresponds to a Meridians in the body, and every node corresponds to the key position of Blood and Qi's operation.
The spirit merges with Tree Canopy, so that the core of Sea of Consciousness and the light spot in the center of Tree Canopy merge into one. Each bright spot at the end of the branch corresponds to each sensory node of the spiritual extension.
The rules are integrated with Root System, allowing Root System to extend to every node of the territory network, bringing the entire territory network into its own Inner Heaven and Earth scope.
The three combined into one is Ancient God.
He observed the fusion command in his inner vision for a while, then exited the inner vision and opened his eyes.
He sat in the Cultivation Room darkness for a while, then stood up and opened the door and walked out.
When he sat down on the tree stump, Zero Seven brought a cup of tea and placed it on the cross section of the tree stump.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, sensing the Crystal inside Fruit that was continuously sending out signals, and sensing the complete fusion command coming from the Root System node in the complete tree pattern on its surface.
He sat on the tree stump for a while, drank the tea, put it back on the tree stump, then stood up and walked back to the Core Residence hall.
When he sat down in front of the console, the shadow of Zero One lit up on the side. "Lord, Crystal's signal inside Fruit has been emitted in the past two hours. A new frequency component has appeared. The signal waveform contains complete fusion command information, and the information density has reached several times the previous peak. The signal is continuously broadcast to the entire territory network, T-09 Star Realm direction, and all nodes connected to the network."
Xu Wuyi sat in front of the console for a while, going through the data in his mind. The complete fusion command information is being continuously broadcast to the outside - this means that the last step of Ancient God Method's breakthrough condition is being transmitted from the inside of Fruit to the outside Diffusion Rule, to every node connected to the network.
He stood up and walked to the French window.
The afternoon sun is reflecting the warm golden light spots distributed throughout the territory into a bright background. The continuously flowing Undercurrent Pattern and Hybrid Overlay in the network maintain a constant rhythm of operation within the coverage area.
He sensed the translucent surface that had completely converged at the coordinate anchor point outside Northern Boundary Line, and sensed that the core layer of Ji Tang in the direction of the T-09 Star Realm was beating at a steady rhythm.
He stood in front of the window for a while, then turned and walked back to the console and sat down.
He sat in front of the console for a while, then stood up and walked to the shelf next to the workbench.
Metal Box The continuously pulsating light body outside the seam has undergone new changes in the past few hours.
The arrangement of dark spots on the surface of the light body is no longer just moving slowly, they are continuing to move in a clear trajectory, and the trajectory is exactly the same as the signal propagation path of the Root System node in the Crystal surface tree pattern.
He put his palm close to the position of the light body, and his perception penetrated the outer layer of the light body.
At the moment of contact, the texture on the surface of Fruit experienced a rapid fluctuation in brightness, forming a resonance with the groove structure inside Metal Box that was more lasting than ever before.
The resonance lasted for several breaths before it subsided on its own, but he felt that the groove structure inside Metal Box was establishing a dynamic synchronization relationship with the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal. That synchronization relationship was no longer just a correspondence at the structural level, but a docking at the functional level.
He stood in front of the workbench for a while, then turned around and walked back to the console and sat down. Li Yuan walked over from the side of the workbench and stood in front of the console. "Metal Box In the light body outside the joint, dark spots have been completed in the past few hours and The tree-shaped pattern on the surface of Crystal is completely synchronized. The arrangement of dark spots on the surface of the light body is completely consistent with the tree-shaped pattern on the surface of Crystal, and the running trajectory is also completely consistent. The bridge is completely transforming from a passive channel to an active structure, and it is becoming part of the Ancient God Method system."
Xu Wuyi leaned on the back of the chair and unfolded a complete structural diagram of Li Yuan's description in his consciousness.
Order Tree of Territory Core is one point, and Believer Node of the T-09 Star Realm is another point. The bridge that has completed the docking is continuing to expand its width and capacity between the two points.
But now the bridge is no longer just passively transmitting signals, it is actively sending out pulses with the same frequency as both ends, as if the bridge itself is becoming an independent signal source.
He sat in front of the console for a while, then stood up and walked towards the transmission channel leading to Zero Seven No. 3 Residence.
When he sat down on the tree stump, Zero Seven brought a cup of tea and placed it on the cross section of the tree stump.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, sensing the Crystal inside Fruit that was continuously sending out signals, and sensing the complete fusion command coming from the Root System node in the complete tree pattern on its surface.
He sat on the tree stump for a while, drank the tea, put it back on the tree stump, then stood up and walked back to Cultivation Room.
He sat cross-legged on the mat and looked inwards.
The warm golden Crystal lights up steadily in the center of the Fruit annular inner ring, and the tree-shaped pattern on the surface maintains a stable shape in the high-frequency pulse.
The complete fusion command he received has already completed preliminary deployment and docking inside Fruit.
Each layer of information in the command is deeply connected with the existing texture structure of Fruit. The docking process has no conflicts, no rejections, and no errors that require adjustment. It is like two completely compatible systems are completing the final merger. He observed the merger process in the inner vision for a while, then exited the inner vision and sat quietly in the darkness of Cultivation Room for a while.
He sensed the warm golden light spots running on their own orbits throughout the territory, and felt that the Undercurrent Pattern and Hybrid Overlay that were continuously flowing in the network maintained a constant rhythm of operation within the coverage area.
He sensed the translucent surface that had completely converged at the coordinate anchor point outside Northern Boundary Line, and sensed that the core layer of Ji Tang in the direction of the T-09 Star Realm was beating at a steady rhythm.
He sat in the darkness until the morning light filtered through the window, then stood up and opened the door and walked out.
That evening, the number of people gathered on Eastern Meadow was much larger than usual.
When dusk spread over the skyline, nearly 3,800 people were already sitting on the grass.
Later participants lined up in a longer queue along the dirt road at the edge of the grass and under the shade of the trees. The warm golden halo covered a wider area than usual in the dusk. The edge of the halo had extended to the east side of Main Street, and formed a continuous glowing background with the warm golden street lights of Forging District.
Zhou Mingyuan stood at the door of the Assembly Hall and looked at the halo from a distance, feeling the Mental Byproduct released by those cores during the synchronized beating.
The total amount of those by-products has reached a new peak, and the texture is uniform and pure.
He stood at the door of the Assembly Hall for a while, then turned and walked back into the hall.
He opened a new record document on Data Pad on the side of the podium and wrote on it, "The number of people gathering at Eastern Meadow continues to grow, and the total by-product output increases simultaneously. This phenomenon shows that the core of the participants has formed a self-reinforcing feedback mechanism in long-term synchronous resonance."
After he finished writing that record, he turned off Data Pad and sat quietly next to the podium for a while. The halo in the direction of Eastern Meadow outside the window was slowly deepening in the dusk, and those warm golden light spots connected to form a continuous glowing background.
On the T-09 Star Realm night, Ji Tang sat alone on that rock.
The night wind blew from the east ridge, making it cooler than the previous few days.
But the layer on the surface of his core remained slightly warm and maintained a stable temperature in the night wind.
He closed his eyes and adjusted his core to the resonant frequency, and his perception extended outward in a familiar direction.
The warm feeling poured into his core at the moment of contact with the bright spot. The flow was larger than the previous nights and lasted longer.
The tree-like outline appeared completely in his perception.
The density of transverse connection lines in the middle section of Tree Trunk has covered most of the surface of Tree Trunk, and its expansion to the upper and lower sections is more obvious than in previous days.
The continuously bright light group in the middle of Tree Trunk is no longer an isolated bright spot in this perception. Multiple smaller light points appear around it. Those small light points are centered on the main light group and form a dense cluster of light points in the dense area of lateral connecting lines around it.
The entire light point cluster presents a clear geometric shape on the surface of the middle section of Tree Trunk, as if some kind of structure is emerging from the inside of Tree Trunk.
While the feeling of warmth continued, he focused his perception on the surface of the cluster of light spots and tried to extend into its interior.
This time he encountered almost no resistance when penetrating the outer layer, and his perception directly came into contact with the inner core. The temperature of that core was higher than that of the outer layer, and the texture was tighter. At the moment of contact, a set of clearer and more complete pulse sequences were transmitted to his perception than the previous ones.
This time the pulse sequence is no longer simply a coordinate pointing or a path outline or a passed down memory or a breakthrough guide, it contains a brand new kind of information.
It was as if a complete set of fusion instructions were compressed and emitted in a very short energy pulse. The content of the instructions was the complete fusion steps of a tree from a sapling to a towering tree.
He tracked the unfolding process of the set of fusion instructions in his perception and found that it was outlining a complete tree structure on the surface of Tree Trunk at an extremely fast speed.
Starting from Root System, extending upward along Tree Trunk, it bifurcates into multiple branches in the middle and upper part of Tree Trunk. There are fine bright spots evenly distributed at the ends of the branches. There is a bright light spot in the center of Tree Canopy, and an equally bright light spot at the bottom of Tree Trunk.
The shape of the entire tree lit up for a moment in the texture on the surface of Tree Trunk, and then slowly dimmed as the warmth subsided.
He sat on the rock for a while and replayed the complete set of fusion instructions several times in his mind.
Then he opened his eyes and stood up, and the night wind blew the edge of his clothes a little.
He walked down the ramp, and when he met Zhang Boyuan at the turning point, he described the complete fusion command he had sensed tonight.
"This pulse sequence contains a complete set of fusion instructions." Ji Tang said, "The content of the instructions is the complete fusion steps of a tree from a sapling to a towering tree. It tells me that Ancient God Method's last breakthrough requires the entire existence of a person - -The physical body, the spirit, and the rules-are all integrated into this tree. The physical body is integrated with Tree Trunk, the spirit is integrated with Tree Canopy, and the rules are integrated with Root System. The three merge into one, which is Ancient God."
Zhang Boyuan stood at the turn of the ramp and listened to his description, and stayed quiet for a moment in the night.
"How many of these three fusion steps have been completed so far?" Ji Tang was silent for a moment.
"The fusion of the physical body and Tree Trunk has begun. I can feel that the texture of the middle part of Tree Trunk is connecting with a certain structure. The fusion of the spirit and Tree Canopy has not yet begun. The fusion of the rules and Root System... still has the final step."
Zhang Boyuan nodded.
"What's the last step?"
"Use the body to transform into a tree, and use the tree to carry the Tao." Ji Tang said, "Integrate your entire existence into this tree. Let the physical body become Tree Trunk, let the spirit become Tree Canopy, and let the rules become Root System. When the three are combined into one, it is Ancient God."
Zhang Boyuan was quiet in the night for a long time, and then said, "We will continue tomorrow evening. If you sense any new changes in any of the three fusion steps, record them."
Ji Tang nodded and continued walking down the ramp.
His steps gradually faded away in the night. Zhang Boyuan stayed at the turning point of the slope and stood in the night wind for a while. Then he turned around and walked a few steps in the direction of Highlands. He squatted down next to the rock and put his palms on the rock surface.
The temperature of the rock was a little higher than that of the previous nights. It seemed that after dozens of days of continuous contact, the rock had been heated to a higher baseline level by the residual core temperature of Ji Tang.
He squatted next to the rock for a while, feeling that the remaining temperature was spreading outward at a slow rate, then stood up and walked back to the station along the slope.
In the early morning of the fiftieth day of Territory Core, when Xu Wuyi walked out of Cultivation Room, he sensed the new changes taking place in the Crystal inside Fruit.
In the past few hours, its surface texture has no longer just continued to send out high-frequency pulses, but has begun to actively send out a brand-new signal. The waveform of that signal is more complex than ever before, and the information density has reached a new level. The information carried in the signal is no longer a simple structural map or operating logic or inherited memory or breakthrough guidance or fusion instructions, but a complete breakthrough opportunity.
When he sat down on the tree stump, Zero Seven brought a cup of tea and placed it on the cross section of the tree stump.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, sensing the Crystal inside Fruit that was continuously sending out signals, and sensing the complete breakthrough timing coming from the center node of Tree Canopy in the complete tree pattern on its surface.
He sat on the tree stump for a while, drank the tea, put it back on the tree stump, then stood up and walked back to the Core Residence hall.
When he sat down in front of the console, the shadow of Zero One lit up on the side. "Lord, Crystal's signal inside Fruit has been emitted in the past two hours. A new frequency component has appeared. The signal waveform contains complete breakthrough timing information, and the information density has reached several times the previous peak. The signal is continuously broadcast to the entire territory network, T-09 Star Realm direction, and all nodes connected to the network."
Xu Wuyi sat in front of the console for a while and went through the data in his mind.
The complete breakthrough opportunity information is being continuously broadcast to the outside - this means that the last breakthrough opportunity of Ancient God Method is being transmitted from the inside of Fruit to the outside Diffusion Rule, to every node connected to the network.
He stood up and walked to the French window.
The morning light poured in from the window, dyeing the floor of the hall a warm color.
He stood in front of the window and quietly looked at the warm golden light spots outside the window for a while that were continuously moving in the morning light - the nodes of Northern Sector Defense Line were taking over shifts, there were formations lining up for morning exercises on the training ground of Central Defense Line, and dozens of people who had arrived early were already sitting on Eastern Meadow, who were sitting in meditation.
The beating rhythm of those light spots was even and steady, just like every morning.
But his perception captured the changes beneath the stable surface. The complete breakthrough opportunity of Ancient God Method is being continuously transmitted to each node through the connecting lines of the network. After receiving the breakthrough opportunity, those nodes are slowly adjusting their own operating modes, as if they are reorganizing their energy structure according to the new opportunity.
He stood in front of the window for a while, then turned and walked back to the console and sat down.
He sat in front of the console for a while, then stood up and walked to the shelf next to the workbench.
Metal Box The continuously pulsating light body outside the seam has undergone new changes in the past few hours.
The arrangement of dark spots on the surface of the light body is no longer just moving slowly, they are continuing to move in a clear trajectory, and the trajectory is exactly the same as the signal propagation path of the central node of Tree Canopy in the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal.
He put his palm close to the position of the light body, and his perception penetrated the outer layer of the light body.
At the moment of contact, the texture on the surface of Fruit experienced a rapid fluctuation in brightness, forming a resonance with the groove structure inside Metal Box that was more lasting than ever before.
The resonance lasted for several breaths before it subsided on its own, but he felt that the groove structure inside Metal Box was establishing a dynamic synchronization relationship with the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal. That synchronization relationship was no longer just a correspondence at the structural level, but a docking at the functional level.
He stood in front of the workbench for a while, then turned around and walked back to the console and sat down.
Li Yuan walked over from the side of the workbench and stood in front of the console. "Metal Box In the light body outside the joint, the dark spots have completed the complete synchronization with the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal in the past few hours.. The arrangement of dark spots on the surface of the light body is exactly the same as the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal, and the running trajectory is also completely consistent. The bridge is completely transforming from a passive channel to an active structure, and it is becoming part of the Ancient God Method system."
Xu Wuyi leaned on the back of the chair and unfolded a complete structural diagram of Li Yuan's description in his consciousness.
Order Tree of Territory Core is one point, and Believer Node of the T-09 Star Realm is another point. The bridge that has been connected is continuing to expand its width and capacity between the two points. Now the bridge is no longer just passively transmitting signals, it is actively sending out pulses of the same frequency as both ends, as if the bridge itself is becoming an independent signal source.
He sat in front of the console for a while, then stood up and walked towards the transmission channel leading to Zero Seven No. 3 Residence.
When he sat down on the tree stump, Zero Seven brought a cup of tea and placed it on the cross section of the tree stump.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, sensing the Crystal inside Fruit that was continuously sending out signals, and sensing the complete breakthrough timing coming from the center node of Tree Canopy in the complete tree pattern on its surface.
He sat on the tree stump for a while, drank the tea, put it back on the tree stump, then stood up and walked back to Cultivation Room.
He sat cross-legged on the mat and looked inwards.
The warm golden Crystal lights up steadily in the center of the Fruit annular inner ring, and the tree-shaped pattern on the surface maintains a stable shape in the high-frequency pulse.
The complete breakthrough opportunity he received has already completed its initial expansion and docking within Fruit.
Each layer of timing information is deeply connected with the existing texture structure of Fruit. The docking process has no conflicts, no rejections, and no errors that require adjustment. It is like two completely compatible systems are completing the final merger.
He observed the merging process in the inner vision for a while, then exited the inner vision and sat quietly in the darkness of Cultivation Room for a while.
He sensed the warm golden light spots running on their own orbits throughout the territory, and felt that the Undercurrent Pattern and Hybrid Overlay that were continuously flowing in the network maintained a constant rhythm of operation within the coverage area.
He sensed the translucent surface that had completely converged at the coordinate anchor point outside Northern Boundary Line, and sensed that the continuous lukewarm temperature at the core of Ji Tang in the direction of the T-09 Star Realm was beating with a steady rhythm. He sat in the dark until the morning light filtered through the window, then stood up and opened the door and walked out.
That evening, the number of people gathered on Eastern Meadow was much larger than usual.
When dusk spread over the skyline, nearly four thousand people were already sitting on the grass.

Zhou Mingyuan stood at the door of the Assembly Hall and looked at the halo from a distance, feeling the Mental Byproduct released by those cores during the synchronized beating.
The total amount of those by-products has reached a new peak, and the texture is uniform and pure.
He stood at the door of the Assembly Hall for a while, then turned and walked back into the hall.
He opened a new record document on Data Pad on the side of the podium and wrote on it, "The number of people gathering at Eastern Meadow continues to grow, and the total by-product output increases simultaneously. This phenomenon shows that the core of the participants has formed a self-reinforcing feedback mechanism in long-term synchronous resonance."
After he finished writing that record, he turned off Data Pad and sat quietly next to the podium for a while.
The halo outside the window in the direction Eastern Meadow is slowly deepening in the dusk, and those warm golden light spots are connected to form a continuous glowing background.
On the T-09 Star Realm night, Ji Tang sat alone on that rock.
The night wind blew from the direction of the east ridge, making it cooler than the previous few days. However, the layer on the surface of its core remained slightly warm and maintained a stable temperature in the night wind.
He closed his eyes and adjusted his core to the resonant frequency, and his perception extended outward in a familiar direction.
The warm feeling poured into his core at the moment of contact with the bright spot. The flow was larger than the previous nights and lasted longer.
The tree-like outline appeared completely in his perception.
The density of transverse connection lines in the middle section of Tree Trunk has covered most of the surface of Tree Trunk, and its expansion to the upper and lower sections is more obvious than in previous days.

The core of that layer had a higher temperature and tighter texture than the outer layer. At the moment of contact, it transmitted a set of clearer and more complete pulse sequences to his perception than the previous ones.
This time the pulse sequence is no longer simply coordinate pointing or path outline or inherited memory or breakthrough guidance or fusion instructions, it contains a brand new kind of information.

There are fine bright spots evenly distributed at the ends of the branches. There is a bright light spot in the center of Tree Canopy, and an equally bright light spot at the bottom of Tree Trunk.
The shape of the entire tree lit up for a moment in the texture on the surface of Tree Trunk, and then slowly dimmed as the warmth subsided.
He sat on the rock for a while, replaying the complete set of breakthrough opportunities several times in his mind.
Then he opened his eyes and stood up, and the night wind blew the edge of his clothes a little.
He walked down the ramp, and when he met Zhang Boyuan at the turning point, he described the complete breakthrough opportunity he felt tonight.
"This time the pulse sequence contains a complete set of breakthrough opportunities." Ji Tang said, "The content of the timing is the complete breakthrough window of a tree from a sapling to a towering tree. It tells me that Ancient God Method's last breakthrough needs to be completed within a specific time window. The opening condition of that window is: Root System The signal strength of the three nodes, Tree Trunk, and Tree Canopy reached the peak at the same time. At present, the signal strength of the Root System node is close to the peak, the signal strength of the Tree Trunk node is continuing to improve, and the signal strength of the Tree Canopy node is still short of the last stage."
Zhang Boyuan stood at the turn of the ramp and listened to his description, and stayed quiet for a moment in the night.
"How long does it take for the signal strength of all three nodes to peak simultaneously?"
Ji Tang was silent for a moment.
"Based on the information carried in the breakthrough timing, it is expected to be within three to five days."
Zhang Boyuan nodded. "We will continue tomorrow evening. If there are any changes in the signal strength of those three nodes, record it."
Ji Tang nodded and continued walking down the ramp.
