The light of the Concept Furnace slowly faded.
[Myriad Forms Epic: Prototype] hovered before Lin Ye, formless and shapeless, yet seemingly holding the possibility of every form. Within the hub, the consciousnesses of Radiant Stilllight, Harmonic Leaping Note, and the Order's Dawn coordinator focused on it, filled with wonder and anticipation.
"The Prototype is stable. Resonance with the network's deeper layers is at 99.99%, with no rejection response." Rare emotion colored the Order's Dawn coordinator's report. "Its conceptual radiation field is calibrating itself. Its coverage has already extended beyond this hub and is spreading toward the civilization zones at the network's edges."
Lin Ye reached out-not to touch it physically, but to brush the Prototype's core with his mind through "Contemplation."
A vast torrent of information surged in:
He "saw" the fluctuations of every connected civilization's unique "definition field," like billions of spectra. Some were solid and bright, others wavering and fragile, while a few were entangled in murky "Definition Erosion Vortices."
He "heard" the "noise" in the cosmic background-the conceptual echoes of civilizations' activities, abnormal fluctuations in rules, and even regular "signal pulses" from deep within the Entropy Silence Darkside.
He "sensed" an entirely new "depth of connection." Through the Prototype, he could bring his understanding of "dynamic order" into "resonant reinforcement" with civilizations' core definition fields on a more fundamental level, as though providing "cognitive scaffolding" or "definition anchor points."
"So this is... the Prototype's perspective," Lin Ye murmured.
"Tuner," Radiant Stilllight said gravely, "the aftershocks of the Prototype's activation are too conspicuous. Abnormal fluctuations have appeared in at least seventeen 'shallow active zones' of the Entropy Silence Darkside, all pointing toward us. We may have gone from an 'observation target' to a 'conspicuous signal source.'"
"As expected." Lin Ye withdrew his perception, his gaze sharp. "The Prototype
