Chapter 238

"What... what on earth is going on?!"

The prophets' consciousness trembled violently, sinking into a long-forgotten sense of bewilderment and fear of the unknown.

The root of all this was, of course, because Wen Jing knew that once inside the Sacred Core, he would inevitably be studied, so he used [The Indescribable] beforehand.

Chapter 238

Originally, in a special space like the Sacred Core, even an S-rank Awakened would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, unable to escape the fate of being dissected.

However, it is now perfectly countered by the [Indescribable] characteristic.

To be honest, this characteristic level doesn't actually reach the rule level. It only distorts the information that others observe, but it doesn't distort the information itself. In reality, Wen Jing's Wilderness Body and abilities haven't changed at all, and it doesn't have the evil god pollution effect that should exist in the Kryptonian worldview.

While the six prophets were frantically trying to understand her information, Wen Jing Jing's own consciousness, under the cover of the information deluge, began to explore everything here.

The flow of information was constantly washing over her consciousness, but it was also constantly overwritten by her ' Constant Self '.

With the two forces canceling each other out, the light spot representing Wen Jing moves forward along this 'water flow'.

She 'sank' down.

It's not a physical sinking, but a deepening in terms of information hierarchy.

Without [Information Touch], she would be completely at a loss, unable to act according to her own ideas.

But because of this characteristic, she became the only consciousness besides the prophet who could move freely here.

Wen Jing could sense that the density of information around him was changing rapidly. The surface torrent was noisy and chaotic, with the daily thoughts, life records, and emotional fragments of countless intelligent beings mixed together, like a pot of boiling soup.

Her points of light traveled through it, and fragments of consciousness unfolded every moment, transforming into segments of memory.

An Alaya Race, suppressing disdain, exchanged pleasantries with humans at an imperial noble banquet; a human awakened a B-grade talent, beaming with pride and so excited he couldn't sleep all night; a humanoid race was created, vaguely understanding the researchers' orders...

These are the outermost defense systems of the Sacred Core, 'walls' made up of chaotic information constantly swirling and flowing.

The Wen Jing, which resisted the erosion, blended into the wall, and then moved from the outside of the wall to the inside.

During this process, the pressure on the information flow gradually increases.

The noisy, one-sided, and specific information began to diminish, replaced by a profound 'quiet' that had accumulated over many years.

Every piece of information here is a thousand times heavier than what's on the surface, because it carries not fleeting thoughts, but summaries of experience and accumulations of civilization.

"Knowledge layer..."

Wen Jing spots roam, each touch yields a research finding on the Alaya Race, much like reviewing a thesis from beginning to end.

If she were here before she evolved Gestalt Consciousness, she would probably have stopped and couldn't move forward by now, so engrossed in knowledge.

However, under the influence of ' Constant Self ', this instinctive state of 'learning obsession' is immediately replaced by a longer-term rational consideration.

The knowledge of the Alaya Civilization was indeed Wen Jing's primary objective in entering the Sacred Core.

Before entering, her plan was to gather as much knowledge of civilization as possible before retracting her consciousness if she sensed something was wrong.

However, after discovering that the Sacred Core environment was countered by the [Indescribable], Wen Jing naturally had more to think about.

If we can take this opportunity to explore the operating mechanism and principles of the Sacred Core, that would be the right way to acquire all the knowledge here.

As for destroying the Sacred Core, Wen Jing has no such plans for the time being.

It's true that the Alaya Race is her enemy, but she needs the balance of power between this civilization and the Mastermind. Destroying the Sacred Core is tantamount to helping the Mastermind strike its opponent.

If they change, the Mastermind will definitely control the Federation to launch a full-scale war and 'unify' human civilization.

Therefore, Wen Jing continued to delve deeper into the core with a clear objective, merely storing the knowledge encountered in the process, without trying to acquire too much.

Finally, after traversing tens of thousands of pieces of knowledge, she sensed a boundary.

"Are we close to the core?"

Wen Jing used her Information Perception to 'see' the boundary, and on it she saw various complex protocols intertwined and woven together, forming an information-level isolation filter that rejected all information outside the protocols.

"Only six prophets are allowed to enter the core area as 'administrators'..."

Through the perception protocol, she also learned about the permissions of the six prophets here.

Within the entire Sacred Core system, they are practically gods who control everything. Any information that enters this system can be controlled and used at will—for example, all of Wen Jing's information at this moment can only be laid out for them to study, and is not under her control.

At the same time, these six slots will neither increase nor decrease.

As long as the Sacred Core remains intact, the six prophets will never experience the concept of death.

Not only is the ' Boundless ' infinitely changing space outside the Sacred Core 'infinite,' the Sacred Core itself, with its special form of transforming physical entities into information, is a powerful defensive capability.

Correspondingly, Wen Jing can only use the few characteristics that reside in his consciousness at this moment; the characteristics related to his body are unusable—and meaningless in this environment.

But at this moment, breaking through this barrier is extremely easy for her.

[Information Touch]

Wen Jing temporarily suppressed several pieces of information on the agreement in front of him, as if he were gently 'stabbing' at that barrier.

The next moment, the agreement that had previously rejected everything no longer rejected her.

She was like a supervirus, successfully bypassing the barrier and entering the depths of the Sacred Core.

The moment he crossed the barrier of the agreement, Wen Jing's consciousness sank slightly, as if he had suddenly fallen from a bustling market into the silence of the Deep Sea.

There is no longer a flow of information here; instead, there are only densely intertwined protocol chains, like a root system.

The source of all the protocol chains is six enormous orbs of light, each large enough to obscure the stars, emitting a soft and constant halo, like six solidified stars.

Wen Jing immediately recognized them as the prophets.

It's not about Analysis the surface of her body through a window of consciousness, but rather their true essence—the ultimate control port within the six Sacred Core spaces.

Her point of light was as tiny as dust in front of the other party, but regardless of size, the other party could not notice her at this moment.

It's not just because their consciousness projections are exploring Wen Jing's indescribable body on the surface; according to the rules of the Sacred Core, this area is not something any consciousness can intrude into.

Between the six orbs of light, countless protocols were connected; the threads were as thin as hair, yet densely packed, weaving a net that covered the entire void.

Each pulsation of light transmits a faint energy fluctuation along these lines, sending it to a certain direction in the void.

Wen Jing followed the extension of those lines and sensed their direction.

She discovered that beneath the six orbs of light, deeper within the void, something else existed.

What is that?

She Analysis the contents contained within the protocol threads and saw various functions being transmitted through the protocols: consciousness linking, shared perception, synchronized thinking, information decomposition...

"The core essence of the Sacred Core!"

Within the Mind Palace, even the Dominant Will was shaken and greatly pleased.

The entire function of the Sacred Core Space originates from that source.

If we compare the Sacred Core to a computer, then the torrent of information on the surface is the input and output data, the prophets are the operating system with administrator privileges, and the central processing unit is the foundation of all functions.

If we can find the key protocol, we might be able to take away the prophets' authority.

Upon Wen Jing, the light immediately drifted towards that depth.

Everything in this space is represented by information flow, so even if an alarm is triggered, she can detect it immediately.

The journey proceeded peacefully, without arousing the prophets' alarm.

After all, just as a person cannot directly see the flesh and blood inside their own body, unless Wen Jing actively creates something to attract the other party's attention, and first feels unwell, the other party will take measures to check the cause inside their body.

As the distance closed, the core information of the Sacred Core, which gathered everything, was finally revealed to her.

This is a unique characteristic of the Wilderness Body called [Heavenly Evolution].

All the functions that the Sacred Core currently exhibits are based on this extraordinary ability.

Wen Jing recalled the history of the Alaya Race that he had learned from Xu Yuan.

They were once terrestrial life forms. It was only after discovering and domesticating humans that a technological explosion occurred, leading to a civilization upgrade and the transformation into the planetary life forms they are today... It turns out that this was due to the use of the superpowers of S-class Awakened.

However, the next moment, an even greater upheaval occurred in her Mind Palace.

"That is..."

Consciousness—she discovered consciousness within this ball of light.

"The consciousness of that Awakened is still alive?!"

The instant the thought crossed Wen Jing's mind, he immediately understood the reason—

Yes, this Awakened must be alive, because if it is Superpower Core that operates after the Genetic Collapse, it will create Out-of-Control Zone, which is equivalent to the Ancient Wilderness. Any technology will fail in the Out-of-Control Zone, and only the Awakened can exert its power in it.

Therefore, both the Mastermind and the Alaya Race need humans to contain the Superpower Core.

Once contained, the Superpower Core can only be extracted as Empowerment Stone and cannot be released directly. Even the Mastermind's technology can only be contained through clones, not used directly against enemies.

The Sacred Core function is to sustain extraordinary abilities, and the Awakened must be 'alive' for this to happen.

Wen Jing has personally experienced what other S-class beings who enter the Sacred Core will encounter. Even among S-class Awakened with extraordinary consciousness, they cannot withstand the information deluge for long, as can be seen from the fact that the Sacred Core has remained peaceful and stable for so many years.
