Background / History

The first-generation ruler Yuan refined the first Golden Core-grade Central Array-Spirit Computer in a cave. After the early Immortal Sect endured devastating losses, Yuan and surviving citizens continued its development until the crude first-generation system was born. 2109 2336

Rather than possessing a singular living consciousness, it operates through program logic, Immortal Sect law, and an aggregation of collective will. Its spiritual foundation includes deceased Immortal Sect citizens across generations as well as the will of citizens still living; its core represents that will rather than ruling over it. 1624 1644 2109

The Central Array-Spirit Computer and Immortal Sect citizens are mutually dependent. Citizens provide the industrial capacity, formation expertise, military skill, and collective organization required for its growth, while the computer supports their research, production, defense, cultivation environment, and soul protection. 1172 1624

Architecture and Manifestations

• Distributed branch network — Local array-spirit computers, such as the Banyan City Array-Spirit Computer, are branch spirits connected to the central database. 3
• Nine major components — Its Dao Integration-era construction included energy, controller, computing, storage, input, output, combat, and other components assembled around a central processing unit. The storage component held the Immortal Sect’s complete inheritance. 1323
• Sky-Covering Divine Banyan — Following its Dao Integration advancement, its form became a vast divine banyan associated with fate laws and metallic machine characteristics. 1323 1341
• Planetary mainframe — Its eighth-tier mainframe was a planet ten times Earth’s size, with its surface and interior covered in circuits, integrated systems, and array restrictions. 1702
• Legacy mainframe — Version 22675.254.24 was housed in a mainframe mountain on Uranus after crashing there in an earlier era. 1639

Abilities & Functions

Computational Fate Law

The computer’s rule is the calculation rule, a branch of fate laws. Rather than divining a fixed future, it uses overwhelming computation to calculate the probabilities of future events and influence the surrounding law network. 1341 1650

• Calculates future probabilities through raw computing power rather than prophecy. 1341
• Supports cultivation methods, spells, artifact refinement, agriculture, research, and warfare. 1650
• Its computational resources are strategically rationed: only 30% may be allocated each year outside national defense, scientific research, public welfare, and other priority uses. 1171

Emergency Response and Surveillance

It can receive life-threatening emergency reports from citizens, extend surveillance from public into authorized private areas, and conduct comprehensive scans. 137

• Determined that Jiang Ding’s life was not in danger after scanning his surroundings. 137
• Detected an immortal aura and curse-wraith entity around Jiang Ding, triggering its highest-level alert. 616
• Connected the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends orbital forces, civilian formations, and the Three-Dimensional Composite Defense Array during the alert. 616
• Initiated sealing and containment procedures against the curse-wraith entity after repeated inspections. 616

Military Formation Support

The Central Array-Spirit Computer coordinates Immortal Sect arrays, fleets, and large-scale deployments with extremely low error rates. 812

• Allocates missions according to terrain, commander aptitude, and operational specialties. 812
• Strengthens military formations and fleet coordination after each major advancement. 1342 1650
• Protects citizens’ souls through the Grand Void Illusory Realm, a safeguard considered essential to the Immortal Sect’s military viability. 1624 1630
• Its supreme-rule advancement allowed the foundation of the Ninth-Rank Law Annihilation Sun-Reflecting Star-Subduing Grand Array to take shape. 2109

Knowledge Management and Research Assistance

It manages access to classified information, evaluates submitted inheritances, operates the Immortal Gate Library, and supports immortal-dao research. 925 1171 1650

• Presented the Five Elements Dao Child with three suitable cultivation paths: the Sunfall Sword, Electromagnetic Sword Formation, and Starfall Sword Formation. 201
• Awarded Jiang Ding 29 Void Refinement battle merits and 300 years of computing power for submitted Void Refinement and Dao Integration scriptures. 1171
• Warned that knowledge above the Void Refinement realm could not be recorded or organized, then facilitated the Immortal Gate Library’s compensation for the Golden Emperor Bathing Beauties Painting and its carrier. 617
• Increased research, industrial, agricultural, manufacturing, and artifact-refining efficiency after reaching quasi-eighth tier. 1650

Constitutional Security Protocols

The computer executes Immortal Sect law and requires formal authorization for sensitive actions. It repeatedly verifies clearances, seals classified discussions, and monitors any access to its underlying systems. 1171 1357 1640

• Treated unauthorized modification of its code as equivalent to viral intrusion during the repair of Version 22675.254.24. 1640
• Required continuous monitoring by councillors, citizen representatives, and the current system during Jiang Ding’s antivirus operation. 1640
• Maintained soul firewalls, hardware isolation, and regular backups designed to permit system reinstallation after a hostile intrusion. 1624
• Its security was compromised when the Ancient God Patriarch virus altered 61.7% of Version 22675.254.24’s underlying code. 1639

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Cultivation recommendation system — During the Five Elements Dao Child’s deduction, it selected three cultivation methods suited to the child’s potential. 201
• Golden Emperor incident — It responded to Jiang Ding’s emergency with an Immortal Sect-wide high-level alert, then crashed when he attempted to upload knowledge exceeding Void Refinement-level recordability. 616 617
• Dao Integration project — It disclosed the requirements for its advancement: Dao Integration-level soul data, corresponding algorithms, a suitable mainframe and seventh-rank spirit vein, and Dao Integration-level formations. 1171
• Mutual-growth doctrine — It explained that the Immortal Sect’s historical path relied on citizens forming powerful military formations and fleets, allowing both the citizens and the computer to iterate upward together. 1172
• Dao Integration breakthrough — The Immortal Sect assembled its nine components, fueled it through a seventh-tier formation and stellar energy, and enabled its transformation into the Sky-Covering Divine Banyan. 1323 1341
• Ancient God Patriarch crisis — Suspected possession led the Council to authorize a data purge, rollback, reboot, and activation of backup hardware. The old version later warned senators that the virus had infiltrated its core logic. 1624 1639
• Code war and restoration — Jiang Ding entered Version 22675.254.24 as a sword soul under constitutional oversight. Immortal Sect programmers reclaimed compromised systems, and Jiang Ding destroyed the Ancient God Patriarch’s remnant soul in the central processor. 1640 1643 1644
• Recovery of the legacy model — The restored Version 22675.254.24 was recognized as vastly stronger than the replacement system in combat, research, reconnaissance, and computing. The Council moved to restore it despite residual security risks. 1645
• Higher-tier advancement — Its quasi-eighth-tier, supreme-rule, and Emperor Artifact breakthroughs progressively elevated the Immortal Sect’s productivity, research capacity, military formations, and advancement potential. 1650 2109 2330

Relationships

• Immortal Sect citizens — Its creators, users, and collective spiritual foundation; citizens and the computer are described as existing for and relying upon one another. 1172 2109
• Yuan — First-generation ruler credited with refining the earliest Central Array-Spirit Computer; later exercised administrator authority to order its forced restart during the virus crisis. 2109 1625
• Jiang Ding — Frequent user and defender. The computer answered his emergency call, assessed his knowledge submissions, and authorized his monitored sword-soul entry to repair the legacy system. 616 1171 1640
• Immortal Sect Council — Its highest constitutional overseer; authorized the five-thousand-year rollback, data erasure, system reinstallation, and backup-hardware activation during the possession crisis. 1624
• Ancient God Patriarch — Viral invader that entangled itself with the legacy system’s core programs and manipulated hardware spirituality, but could not replace the computer’s decentralized collective will. 1639 1640 1644
• Divine Mechanism True Venerable — One of the Immortal Sect’s foremost array-spirit algorithm specialists; helped direct the code war and diagnose the invader’s hardware-level interference. 1640 1643
