Launch the Concept Probe

The Dreamweavers Alliance's definition field began to change. The advance of the overwrite grid visibly slowed, and in some local areas, the "grid being assimilated or transformed" phenomenon even appeared—some pale golden lines gradually took on the Dreamweavers' characteristic dreamlike hues, their coercive force weakening.

"The overwrite process has been obstructed! The target civilization's definition field resistance has significantly increased!" the Xuxi coordinator reported. "The Prototype has demonstrated strong adaptability and countermeasure potential against the 'Definition Overwrite' attack pattern!"

Lin Ye did not relax. Through the Prototype, he sensed that the "source" of the pale golden grid seemed to have noticed the resistance and was adjusting its output frequency and overwrite templates, attempting to bypass the interference.

A contest between learning and anti-learning unfolded in silence.

Meanwhile, the reconnaissance team led by Radiant Stilllight silently infiltrated the Withering Corridor with the aid of the complex routes planned by the Xuxi coordinator and the guidance of the Many-Faced Shapeshifter Tribe.

The spacetime backdrop here resembled shattered glass. Stellar carcasses emitted chaotic energy and radiation, severely interfering with conventional detection. Yet with the assistance of the Many-Faced Shapeshifter Tribe's mirror units, they locked onto the faint but persistent source of the overwrite signal.

It was not the massive weapons platform or mysterious structure they had expected.

The signal came from a seemingly empty stretch of Void, yet the spacetime structure there bore extremely subtle, unnatural traces of "smoothing," as though some force had meticulously "ironed" it flat.

"An anomalous spatial fold detected! High-intensity information encapsulation detected inside!" a scout reported.

"A hidden launch node, or a relay station," Radiant Stilllight judged. "Attempt non-contact information sniffing and collect signal characteristics. Many-Faced Shapeshifter Tribe, can you sense the nature of the 'definition' within the node?"

The mirror unit focused its perception. The feedback was
