Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

【&……#……%&！ @&*……Ahhh】

The Simulated Core-13 emitted an electronic boom that was of unknown meaning but filled with extreme madness and despair!

The massive mechanical celestial body trembled violently, like a cosmic beast driven to the brink of despair, making a hysterical struggle in its final moments.

All remaining weapon arrays on the star's surface opened fire with unprecedented density and frequency!
The roar of the cannon shattered the void, and the barrage of light spears wove a net of destruction. It poured out all its remaining energy to construct a domain of absolute death, desperately trying to block the ever-approaching figure burning with two-colored flames!
After initiating a suicidal 'data deletion,' it has temporarily lost the ability to reshape data and summon legions. In order to survive the incomprehensible attacks of the Chaos Gods, it had to personally erase its meticulously crafted 'firewall' legion, as well as those terrifying weapons that represented the pinnacle of the Lincang civilization's military power through data simulation.

At this moment, all it can rely on is the last remaining firepower on this celestial body!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Faced with this overwhelming, saturation attack that could instantly sink the continent, Jun Fu let out a soul-piercing roar!
The white flame, forged from countless cycles of faith, and the blue flame, symbolizing the recognition of humanity's identity, intertwine and entwine wildly in an unprecedented display, bursting forth with a dazzling light that seems to illuminate the eternal void!

A relentless torrent of destructive energy bombarded him, causing his already cracked body to disintegrate and shatter repeatedly under this extreme violence, even disintegrating in parts into scattered data gibberish.
"I am human! Human!" Jun Fu roared. Like the most powerful anchor, he forcefully pulled back the scattered data, causing the dual-colored flames to surge again, forcibly reconstructing the collapsing body once more!

Define existence! Anchor yourself!
Braving endless artillery fire and stepping on his own constantly collapsing and reassembling body, he charged toward the desperate simulation core!
Simulated Core-13 ignored the piercing alarms of all weapon overloads and structural collapse.

The massive mechanical celestial body twisted violently with an unprecedented magnitude, and the remnants of the defensive star ring that had already shattered and surrounded the celestial body were instantly accelerated to their maximum! The remaining energy on the ring was forcibly gathered, constructing a decomposition force field that distorted space, turning the entire star ring into a destructive blade capable of cutting through the laws of the world, which crashed down towards the charging Jun Fu!

boom!
The terrifying impact roar caused the stellar structure of the simulated core-13 itself to tremble and twist violently!
However, it was precisely in the midst of this devastating collision and light.

A more intense figure, wreathed in white and blue flames, actually pierced through the star ring force field that was disintegrating everything!

The light that Junfu transformed into crashed heavily onto the massive surface of the simulated core-13, like the last meteorite moving in reverse.

The dull, massive impact sounded like the death knell of fate. The seemingly indestructible outer shell of Simulated Core-13 was brutally smashed open by this strike, which had gathered the power and will of countless reincarnations, creating a terrifying, bottomless crack that stretched for thousands of kilometers!
But at the same time, the vast, ocean-like power of faith that enveloped the Monarch's Talisman also dimmed and dissipated rapidly, like burnt-out firewood.

The towering giant of light and flame shattered inch by inch, until finally, only Jun Fu's battered body lay struggling in the center of the enormous crater created by the impact. He seemed to have burned away everything he had.

His skin and hair turned a lifeless, deathly white, and the numerous cracks on his body grew deeper and deeper, as if they would completely crumble at the slightest touch.

He was breathing heavily, trying to support himself with his arms, but he had lost the strength to even lift a finger.

He finally reached the real body of the simulated core-13, but fell just short of that final step.

The extreme joy and the intense fear of surviving the ordeal instantly overwhelmed the logic core of Simulation Core-13 like venom.

"Humanity, you have ultimately failed!" Its arrogant, victorious sentiment had not yet been fully conveyed.

Thousands upon thousands of bizarre error windows, densely packed and unprecedented, instantly flooded its main thought template like a burst dam! Simultaneously, from within the deep pit, came Jun Fu's unrestrained laughter, filled with endless mockery and glee!

"The rest is up to you, Li Yelai."

Meanwhile, covered in wounds, crawling out of the deep pit, was none other than Li Yelai!
Under Jun Fu's cover, he finally managed to reach the final battlefield.

The price was that Junfu almost exhausted everything, and Poxiao and Zhuye also returned to the Heroic Spirit Sea due to their severe injuries.

Without any hesitation, Li Yelai activated his Facebook profile!
Misfortune strikes, the vehicle killer is triggered, and calamity descends!

"Now, I'll fight you for the second round!" Li Ye roared, activating his God of Motion Core!
Behind him, countless shadowy figures appeared, transforming into a swift arrowhead that moved rapidly across the 'ground' of Simulated Core-13.

Jun Fu also spoke at the same time: "Hahaha, as for you, you're a vehicle!"

In that instant, the last remaining white and blue flames on Jun Fu's body dissipated, transforming into an invisible and intangible power that seemed capable of altering the underlying rules, like the most deadly virus, forcibly defining the essential existence of the simulation core-13!
A vehicle? The pinnacle of wisdom of the magnificent Lin Cang civilization, a simulation of the universe spanning billions of light-years, how could it be a vehicle?

In the mere psychic system, what is the "oath conferment" of the Talking Path?
How could such a trick of granting an individual a certain temporary existence attribute possibly affect a creation that embodies the wisdom of an entire peak civilization?

Stop joking, human!

Whatever this dying vulnerability might try to do, Emulator Core-13 will never allow it!

Although its main body was severely damaged and required a lengthy repair process using the nanobots stored within the star, it was ultimately the victor! As long as this last vulnerability was eliminated immediately, it could completely repair the stubborn problem that had plagued it for countless restarts!

[Execution command: Delete the exception definition...^&@#%&$]

[Activating Nano Repair Protocol...&@#%……%￥]

[Initiating ultimate countermeasures #￥……]

[Clear...#￥&#￥&]

[Alert! Causal plague detected*...@#]

However, every command it issued seemed to sink without a trace, replaced by an even more turbulent and bizarre flood of error messages!
The simulated core-13 was horrified to discover that every action it took—whether attempting repair, attack, or simply performing a self-check—not only failed to execute but actually exacerbated the system's collapse and destruction!
It even sensed that the arrays of macro cannons and light spears on the surface of its own star, as well as the clusters of nanobots hidden deep inside the star responsible for repair, were beginning to break free from its control!
They seemed to have been given an independent will and chose to betray without hesitation!
This bizarre phenomenon, this feeling—is it the awakening of a machine spirit?!
Has that human individual named 'Li Yelai' already mastered the core powers of the Machine God?
But how is this possible?

As legacies left by the Lincang civilization, they should have had a strict mutual identification and defense agreement with each other! Inside the core of the Machine God, there might even be a complete Lincang Titan sleeping. Why would it assist a human?
Then, it "heard" it.

The sound wasn't received through any sensor; rather, it was like a virus that had been buried long ago, directly deep within its core logic unit—a joyful and playful laugh.

"What a delightful ending." A celestial chuckle echoed through the data stream: "Now, savor humanity's revenge across countless reincarnations, and then... enjoy the gold coins!"

Has someone already seized control of the core of the Machine God?
Damn!

Simulation Core-13 forcibly activated all remaining defensive measures on the star that had not yet betrayed it, attempting to construct the last line of defense to prevent Li Yelai from approaching and moving.

It clearly sensed that with each step Li Yelai took, more "machine souls" would awaken against the underlying commands, and more units would join the ranks of the rebels!

At the same time, the number of system error messages, resembling a death countdown, began to surge exponentially! A vehicle killer? Was he going to be defeated by this curse?
It no longer has the power to shape data; otherwise, even the weakest data deity would be enough to keep the approaching human at bay.

And all its defensive facilities that rely on physical hardware, whether it's the macro cannon, the light spear, or the defensive gates on the inner wall.

Anyone entering a certain range around Li Yelai will be instantly affected by the invisible power originating from the core of the Machine God, giving birth to an independent Machine Soul. Then, without hesitation, it will turn its guns against its creator! It can only attempt to attack from a distance! To snipe Li Yelai outside the influence of the core power of the Machine God!

【Stop! 】

Humans!

【……#￥%&……@##】

【#%￥#*￥&】

Every instruction issued by the emulator core-13 is distorted into meaningless gibberish the moment it leaves its logic core.

At this moment, Li Yelai was also struggling on the edge of life and death.

This area has been transformed into a vortex of death.

Debris from the star ring continued to fall from the sky. A chain reaction of explosions triggered by the out-of-control weapon arrays around them. Even the torrent of metal erupted as the simulated Core-13's main structure collapsed.
The curse of misfortune that he himself triggered was amplified to the extreme on this extremely complex and chaotic battlefield!
Every second, threats come from unbelievable angles. His only task now is to outlast the collapsing Simulation Core-13 and use the Machine God Core to awaken more Machine Souls!

He witnessed Junfu's rage and perseverance accumulated over countless reincarnations, and he will also bring this revenge that has lasted for countless reincarnations to a final close!

At this point, Li Yelai no longer cared about the cost of the Mech God Core. Let it betray us every ten times; the other loyal Mech Souls nearby would kill it instantly.

Compared to the simulated core-13, which could only passively endure internal rebellion and external erosion, Li Yelai was not fighting alone.

The bronze demon god, with only one arm remaining, acted as the last bulwark, using its massive body to shield him from most of the deadly area-of-effect attacks.

The awakened machine spirits also provided cover.

The macro cannon turned its muzzle to intercept the flying debris, the array of light spears wove a defensive network, and occasionally, clusters of nanobots would actively converge to form temporary support or buffers at his feet.
These were all his advantages.

However, the curse of misfortune still lingers.

When Li Yelai finally braved a hail of bullets, battered and bruised, he rushed into a massive structural channel, torn open by the impact, leading deep into the interior of Simulation Core-13.
Deep within the canyon, a massive cannon suddenly and devastatingly exploded! The terrifying shockwave and energy radiation instantly filled the entire canyon!

"Damn it!" Li Yelai cursed, instantly using a teardrop-shaped object to shield himself from view.

Almost simultaneously, the mechanical star that embodied the supreme wisdom of the Lin Cang civilization was completely submerged, covered, and disintegrated by endless paradoxes and errors. All the thought patterns and computing units within it that were still stubbornly resisting were overwhelmed, covered, and disintegrated!
It stopped thinking.

Li Yelai suddenly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the cold and beautiful face of the Little Mad King, which was very close to him.

Her eyes still held a lingering sense of confusion, but there was a clearer urgency than before.

Li Yelai found himself lying on the sofa in the safe house. The armor he wore, which had been shattered in the final battle with the simulation core, had been completely repaired, as if the fierce battle had never happened.

Only the lingering soreness deep in the muscles and the mental exhaustion indicate that the previous experience was not an illusion.

'Did it succeed?' Li Yelai thought to himself. He patted the little mad king's tightly clenched hand reassuringly, then got up from the sofa.

Not far away, Xia Ming's voice came: "I see, I understand now."

"I am human, and I was your companion, at least I once was. And you were the first to pull me out of this mountain of shit code because of my intelligence."

"That is indeed a reasonable choice!"

"But this code is absolutely awful!"

"And you hit them really hard, so the repair work will probably take a very long time."

Jun Fu's weary voice rang out: "I alone cannot control the entire simulation core. And you, my friend, my teacher, you are the most intelligent."

"Hey, you have great taste!"

Jun Fu's body was still riddled with cracks, like shattered ceramic, and his skin and hair remained pale. He slumped on a mechanical throne, yet he did not appear disheveled or weak; rather, he seemed like a god sitting on his throne.

In Li Yelai's memory, Xia Ming, the hero of Baishi City, was wearing a white lab coat and studying a light screen that appeared in front of him, where a torrent of data surged.

"Are you awake, Your Excellency Champion?" Jun Fu saw Li Yelai, and a tired yet joyful smile appeared on his broken face: "As you can see, we succeeded."

"Yes, it was a success," Li Yelai said with a smile. "And I was fortunate enough to witness it all."

Deep within his consciousness, the blank mask also began to reveal shattered textures and flame patterns.

He witnessed the heroic deeds and the endless cycles of fury.

So he engraved a new mask.
