[We... are willing!] Their thoughts were resolute. [Our 'transformation' once brought us to the brink of destruction. Now, we are willing to weave this power of transformation into the 'order' that protects the multiverse, becoming its keen 'senses' and 'pathways'!]
The connection was formally established.
The surviving consciousnesses of the Many-Faced Illusion Clan began merging with the deeper layers of the network. They did not return as countless independent individuals, but existed as a "Distributed Resonance Mirror Array," scattered across critical network nodes-a living monitoring net capable of detecting abnormal fluctuations in definitions.
At the same time, the Order's Dawn coordinator reported a new discovery: "Tuner, while analyzing the 'Summary C' information provided by the Illusion Clan, I attempted a reverse resonance simulation using Prototype. I discovered that its 'absolute smoothness' undergoes an extremely brief, almost imperceptible phenomenon of 'resonant softening' when confronted with a certain frequency of 'existential self-referential fluctuations.' This might... be a theoretical weakness."
A sharp gleam flashed in Lin Ye's eyes.
A lead on the weapon, an outline of the enemy, a potential weakness... new pieces of the puzzle were coming together.
Just then, the newly joined "Mirror Array" sent its first proactive warning-
At the edge of the definition field of the "Dreamweaver Alliance," an emotion-driven civilization that had just applied for the network's protection, extremely faint anomalous fluctuations had been detected, closely resembling "Summary B"-the overwriting beam! They were 270,000 standard jump units from the network's core region.
The enemy had given them little time to catch their breath.
The warning rang like an icy alarm, shattering the brief calm.
The "Dreamweaver Alliance" was a civilization composed of multiple species capable of linking their dreams and constructing their understanding of reality through collective dreaming. Its existence depended heavily on emotional resonance and interwoven
