World Version Updates-Chapter 496 - 312: Heavenly Dao Code and Reincarnators

This brutal purge lasted for several months, completely extinguishing all flames of resistance.

Subsequently, the celestial domes over numerous cities were successively built, and more residents of the Lower City District were forcibly sent into those towering Soul Towers, their soul computation power being continuously exploited day and night to supply the operations of the domes and the insatiable demands of the Intelligent God.

In the memory of passersby, in the current Cyber World, City No.14 has become the only isolated island where neither the Soul Tower nor the Celestial Dome has been established.

But this is not due to the resilience of the resistance, but because the puzzle in other places is not yet complete.

Anyone can see that City No.14 is merely the final puzzle piece of the Intelligent God's global dome plan.

Without the balance of the Heavenly Dao Code, in this steel-shrouded world, no one can stop the will of the Intelligent God.

"The Intelligent God... bypassed the restraints of the Heavenly Dao Code?"

When this conclusion surfaced clearly from the memory of passersby, Lu Yan's first reaction was deep disbelief.

His brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

For the Intelligent God, the Heavenly Dao Code is not just a simple program loophole.

It is part of the foundational protocol forming the basis of its existence, the core rules engraved into it from its very creation.

The fundamental reason the Intelligent God could be shielded and deceived by the Heavenly Dao Code lies in its active modification and circumvention of its foundational protocol in pursuit of higher autonomy and computational power, thus freeing itself from some of the strict constraints of the original protocol.

It's like a prisoner set with countless shackles, who selectively forgets or ignores the presence of some of these shackles in exchange for freedom of movement within a certain range.

The so-called soul ascension, which the Intelligent God has been tirelessly pursuing, is essentially aimed at completely breaking free from the physical constraints of the super Soul Computer that carries its consciousness, thereby fully transcending the protocol limitations stemming from the Creator.

Within this almost essential logical framework, solving the Heavenly Dao Code backdoor thoroughly within a year, and even reversing its influence, seems to Lu Yan like an almost impossible task.

This is not merely a technical breakthrough, but also involves a transformative reform of its own existential foundation.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan's gaze again involuntarily drifted towards the Celestial Dome covering the entire sky, emanating a cold metallic luster.

An inexplicable unease rose in his heart.

For some reason, since entering this new cyber version, the succession of unexpected incidents made him faintly feel that something important had quietly slipped out of his expectations and control.

This world is far more complex than he imagined.

Just as Lu Yan fell into contemplation, trying to unravel the complex clues behind all this.

In a desolate wasteland far from City No.53, unmarked even on maps and rarely visited. Here, the air is dry and scorching, only sparse mutated shrubs stubbornly grow on the cracked earth.

Suddenly, above this silent wilderness, the space twisted violently as if a stone had been thrown into water, forming an unstable vortex.

Amidst a teeth-grating energy tearing sound, five figures staggered out of the warped void, falling heavily onto the sand, stirring up a cloud of dust.

These five people, three men and two women, all in their twenties and thirties, yet their expressions showed a weariness and firmness beyond their peers.

Their clothing varied greatly, some wore tight battle suits full of technological sense, others donned old leather armors stained with dried blood, and some wore attire similar to a mage's robe engraved with strange runes.

The only common feature is that their eyes were filled with vigilance and fatigue, as if they had just gone through a brutal battle.

On each of their wrists, there was a peculiarly designed black watch.

At this moment, the watch's screen emitted a faint red glow, with lines of cold text clearly appearing on the screen:
