Chapter 240

After completing all the preparations, Wen Jing once again conveyed the message to Heavenly Evolution.

Without adding any unnecessary explanations to avoid burdening the other person, she stated the simplest and most direct information.

"Transfer all information and agreements to me, and I will save you."

The two cores are of the same origin and nature, and the binding protocol makes them indistinguishable. The protocol stipulates that they are bound to the Heavenly Evolution, not to any particular Heavenly Evolution — the Alaya Race's ability to capture an S-level Awakened and create a Sacred Core is already a pinnacle achievement of civilization; why would they guard against an extra core?

If the binding protocol is like this, let alone the flow of information in this space. When Wen Jing unfolded the Heavenly Evolution Core, the information container in this space changed from one to two.

After conveying this message, Wen Jing 'saw' Heavenly Evolution's consciousness flinch painfully, and the thought that kept pleading 'kill me' paused briefly.

The other party may have listened, or they may not have.

She didn't force the issue, and then directly used her Heavenly Evolution ability to connect to the original Heavenly Evolution Core.

To clarify beforehand, it's because she's about to release the previous suppression of the agreement's information. However, at that time, Heavenly Evolution's consciousness, in extreme pain, will naturally instinctively seek ways to alleviate the suffering.

"Boom!"

The moment the connection was established, a massive amount of information flooded into Wen Jing's consciousness from all directions, like a floodgate being opened.

Previously, she was merely passively receiving a stream of information; now, she is the central processing unit of the entire Sacred Core, the convergence point of all information.

Millions of years' worth of data per second, all the knowledge accumulated by the Alaya Race, and countless fragments of the thoughts of intelligent beings, are like billions of rivers simultaneously flowing into an ocean.

Individual consciousness will experience unbearable pain, but Wen Jing is no longer an individual.

The next moment, ' Constant Self ' anchored.

As a terrifying torrent of information swept over her, she stood like a reef amidst a tsunami.

The densely packed protocol threads that were originally bound to the core were also carried away and shifted during this process, like water plants in a torrent.

Wen Jing began to familiarize himself with, understand, and control this vast torrent of information through these agreements.

Until all the threads of the agreement fell upon her, she became the source of the Sacred Core.

"Thanks..."

But at the same moment, Wen Jing received a message from Heavenly Evolution's consciousness.

This was also the last message they sent.

In the instant he attained complete peace and freedom, this ancient Awakened, whose name and past were unknown, chose to perish.

Within the Mind Palace, the Dominant Will will let out a regretful sigh.

Although the Creation Personality had already predicted this outcome with a probability as high as 99.99%, she still hoped that the tiny possibility would occur.

When Wen Jing evolved Gestalt Consciousness, his Constant Self was anchored to an undistortable self-will, so naturally he would not distort the will of a pitiful person who had already suffered so much torment.

Using the excuse of doing what's best for the other party to let Heavenly Evolution live is tantamount to forcibly controlling him.

All she could do was let Heavenly Evolution make his own choice after he had gained true peace and quiet.

The next moment, Wen Jing's will returned to its icy state and was directed toward the other end of the agreement thread.

At the other end of the protocol thread, the six prophets were still frantically analyzing the ' Indescribable ' consciousness projection on the surface. They were completely unaware that the core of the Heavenly Evolution had been replaced with a new 'central processing unit'.

The way the six prophets are bound to the Sacred Core is different from that of Heavenly Evolution.

They actively integrated themselves, their consciousness deeply merging with the Sacred Core, becoming 'gods' of this space.

In the past, Heavenly Evolution's personal consciousness was temporarily controlled by the protocol and then connected to the collective consciousness of the Alaya Race, making him powerless to resist. But now, these protocol threads are connected to Wen Jing's Gestalt Consciousness.

She is not only immune to the flood of information, but she is also able to rewrite information!

This is also why she deliberately evolved the splitting ability to level three; otherwise, there wouldn't be enough 'people'.

The six personality nodes, directly and openly extending along the protocol threads, spread towards the six orbs of light.

The prophets were completely unaware, because they could never have imagined that the real threat would come from the protocol that underpinned their administrator privileges.

"Whoosh!"

The first cluster of prophetic light trembled slightly.

The arrival of ' Constant Self ' is like ink dissolving in clear water; the new program overwrites the old code, and the consciousness that originally existed within the ball of light is instantly replaced.

At this moment, another prophet was still frantically asking, "How can there be information in this form?"

"For this is Indescribable," a prophet replied.

The other five prophets were all astonished upon hearing this. "Indescribable... what is it?"

Before they could figure it out, the five core lights trembled simultaneously.

"We exceeded our target this time."

Wen Jing and the others exchanged pleasantries with satisfaction.

Chapter 240

Deep within the Sacred Core, all is silent.

The six orbs of light operated steadily, but they were no longer the original consciousness.

Wen Jing's personality node is firmly rooted in this space, reading through the knowledge achievements of the entire Level 3 civilization over hundreds of thousands of years at an alarming speed.

The core of the entire Sacred Core's operation is now the first personality node that 'possessed' the Prophet, so it doesn't suffer the same pain as Heavenly Evolution.

At the very moment she silently completed the replacement, the ' Xu Yuan Star ' located on the edge of the Alaya Race's territory, and the body of the proxy existing within it, vanished instantly, as if they had never existed at all.

"Um?"

All members of the Alaya Race are 'sub-servers' of the Sacred Core, a fact Wen Jing noticed immediately.

The next instant, a Clone appeared and caught Weiluo, who had been exposed due to the disappearance of the Xu Yuan.

She then made a sweeping motion in the air, swiftly opening a door with Door Handle, and vanished into space before the nearest other Alaya Race could discover her.

"Where is Xu Yuan? What happened?"

"Could it be that the Mastermind is calling?"

"Why would the Mastermind attack this edge? They'd definitely prioritize plundering humanity. Was it that reconnaissance plane that broke through the barrier last time? I suggested wiping out external civilizations a long time ago; the last time was 100,000 years ago..."

The Alaya Race's planetary network was thrown into chaos. How could a perfectly healthy member and an entire planet suddenly disappear without any warning or disturbance?

The leaders of the six factions also quickly contacted the Sacred Core, especially Panxi of the Matter Transformation Faction.

Before long, they received a reply from the Sacred Core.

The faction leaders immediately turned to reassure their members. They did not reveal the specific content of the reply, but each faction leader was extremely excited.

Meanwhile, an Clone appeared on a planet with Weiluo.

This is the planet Wen Jing previously used to experiment with creating biological swarms. The remaining Clone, who is active outside, is already waiting here, having prepared a hibernation pod in advance.

Weiluo was put inside and properly settled.

At the same time, within the Mind Palace, Xu Yuan's figure reappeared.

"I see. Information determines the existence of a civilization based on its essence, not on whether it is still maintained on the surface..."

The real-world ' Xu Yuan Star ' disappeared because the Alaya Civilization vanished after she replaced the six prophets and took control of the Sacred Core.

To be precise, they were replaced by the Insectoid Civilization.

Therefore, Wen Jing could use the Door Handle to take Weiluo away directly, because the territory of the Alaya Civilization under the control of the Sacred Core had become her territory.

The planet where Weiluo was taken, where her Clone was located, was also within her territory, which is why the transfer was possible.

Furthermore, because Wen Jing's Clone can travel over long distances, as long as she doesn't enter the territory of other civilizations, she can use her Clone as anchor points and Door Handle to achieve inward and outward transfers across the Tide of Ignorance.

The Dominant Will stirred, then looked at the Xu Yuan: "Can you join the Empire's humans now?"

Xu Yuan sensed it and said, "Yes."

"It actually worked..." Wen Jing was somewhat surprised.

"Because you acknowledge human civilization," Xu Yuan explained. "If you, like the Alaya Race, view humans as domesticated slaves, then it's not acceptable. Currently, only the Imperial humans can be considered civilized; the Federation humans under the control of the Mastermind are not considered civilized either."

Wen Jing asked with great interest, "After you use your abilities to join human civilization, will you be an ordinary person or Awakened?"

Xu Yuan replied, "I can be considered Awakened, but my Wilderness Body is still in human form. As for the abilities I can use, they are granted by you."

The Dominant Will nodded.

The Alaya Race agents created by the Xu Yuan can all serve as her ability 'base stations'. After gaining human identity through using her abilities, she can enter the Ancient Wilderness and unleash abilities similar to Wen Jing's Clone.

However, for Wen Jing, the opponent's most crucial ability is still 'determining whether a civilization exists'.

In addition, besides the Insectoid Civilization to which it belongs, Xu Yuan can only join one other civilization at a time using its abilities, and if the body corresponding to that civilization dies, it will be unable to rejoin that civilization and obtain a new identity.

After dealing with the incident of Xu Yuan's disappearance, Wen Jing once again immersed himself in the sea of information.

This place stores all the technological and cultural information of the Alaya Race before the birth of the Sacred Core, and after the birth of the Sacred Core, it carries all their civilization information.

Apart from her two active Clone still devouring the Ancient Wilderness and upgrading the biological swarm manufacturing technology, she used all her computing power to Digestion this huge gain.

There is no time difference like in a black hole within the Sacred Core, but the efficiency of information transmission here is ten thousand times greater than in the past.

Information is directly "imparted," without any reading process, making it faster than learning in a black hole.
