World version update

Chapter 315 The Deal with the Main God

A flash of inspiration struck Lu Yan like lightning, and he immediately thought of the scene when the last mysterious version update ended.

In that thrilling contest, in order to break free from the lock of the seven great gods who had just awakened from their slumber, he cleverly used the power of the main god space and, by borrowing the power of the main god, successfully drew the attention of the seven great gods to the main god.

At that time, the main god seemed to be happy to cooperate. He wanted to secretly swallow the secret about the unchanging qualities in Lu Yan's body and was unwilling to hand over this huge benefit to the seven righteous gods.

Therefore, the main god took the blame for Lu Yan and endured tremendous pressure from the seven righteous gods, which enabled Lu Yan to escape unscathed after stirring up trouble in the mysterious version and successfully enter the current cyber version.

Lu Yan originally thought it was a near-perfect use of leverage against each other, a tacit cooperation where both sides got what they needed.

However, judging from the current situation of this sudden invasion by the main god version, it seems that he has been used by that unfathomable main god without realizing it.

"It allows these reincarnators from different versions to ignore the rules and restrictions of their respective world version updates, and even cross the huge barriers between different versions to descend into this cyber world."

“Without a doubt, only the qualities of an unchanging being can achieve this!” Lu Yan’s eyes sharpened, and his thoughts became clearer.

"The Supreme God himself must not have mastered the unchanging qualities, otherwise He would not have been confined to that version of the Supreme God, but would have been able to freely travel through infinite versions and bring all versions under His control."

"Therefore, the root cause of this massive version invasion still lies with me."

It is as if the Supreme God used some means I do not yet know to 'borrow' or 'pry' some of the unchanging qualities from me.

It was through the methods of the Supreme God that those reincarnators were able to temporarily gain the blessing of the Unchanging Ones, ignoring the restrictions of version updates and other rules, thus following in my footsteps into the Cyber ​​version and launching this unprecedented invasion of that version.

A myriad of thoughts flashed through Lu Yan's mind like lightning, and he keenly grasped several key points of doubt.

"Logically speaking, although my current status has not yet truly reached the realm of the only one in this world, it is already infinitely close."

Even if it were a supreme god, trying to secretly manipulate and 'borrow' my unchanging qualities, I should have noticed, not remained completely unresponsive.

"Moreover, the immutable quality itself contains the unique essence of all worlds, and its status is unimaginably high. It is absolutely impossible for it to be so easily 'borrowed' or used by the chief god."

"Unless...unless the supreme deity has already paid some price for this that I cannot refuse, or rather, that I have no choice but to accept!"

Suddenly, Lu Yan recalled the scene in the mysterious version where he used the main god to fight against the seven righteous gods.

His initial plan was actually very simple: he just wanted the main god to take the blame for him, temporarily withstand the gaze and pressure from the seven awakened gods, and buy himself time for the version update.

However, what happened next far exceeded his expectations.

When the version update was launched and time and space were frozen, the main god spared no expense to bring down the main god's true body from the entire main god space into the mysterious version.

The main god, with its world-destroying power and its head-on confrontation with the seven righteous gods, completely attracted the attention of all the righteous gods. This allowed Lu Yan's escape plan to proceed perfectly without any mishaps.

Looking back now, everything seemed too smooth and too perfect, almost as if the main god was deliberately cooperating with him to put on a show.

“Deliberately cooperating!” Lu Yan’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a shocking thought exploded in his mind.

"That's right! The Supreme God did it on purpose! He planned everything from the very beginning!"

"He single-handedly confronted the seven awakened true gods head-on, taking all the misfortunes that befell me upon himself."

His fundamental purpose in doing this was not only to prevent the seven righteous gods from prematurely realizing the true value of my unchanging qualities, but also to make me incur an immense karmic debt that would be difficult to repay!

The method of deducing and manipulating fate seemed to have touched upon deep secrets, quickly filling in all the information.

"As the creator of the God's Space, and having nurtured countless reincarnators who traverse the myriad worlds, one of the God's most core and powerful authorities is undoubtedly the all-encompassing authority of transactions."

"Whether it's cultivation techniques, supernatural powers and spells, powerful bloodlines, strange abilities, or all sorts of rare treasures and extraordinary technologies, the trading authority of the main god encompasses almost everything imaginable in the main god version."

The price that reincarnators need to pay to obtain these things from the main god is different levels and different amounts of story points.

"The so-called plot points are essentially a comprehensive evaluation made by the God Space based on the reincarnator's behavior in various mission worlds, such as modifying the plot, completing specific tasks, interfering with the world's progress, etc."

This assessment, to a large extent, is a concrete manifestation of the forces that interfere with causality throughout the world.

"The Supreme God shielded me from all the pressure from the seven Great Gods, even going so far as to summon the Supreme God's physical body to descend. This in itself was actively creating a cause-and-effect relationship between us."

"By virtue of His immense authority over transactions, He can use this vast and immeasurable causal relationship to exchange for something He desires from me."

"Since this is a transaction based on the principle of equivalent exchange, the greater the cause and effect that God pays, the higher the value and the greater the quantity of things He can obtain from me."

"On this basis, the main god spared no expense to guide the main god space itself to descend and fight alone against the seven awakened true gods whose strength was unfathomable."

The causal relationships involved are simply immeasurable, so vast as to be astonishing.

"Perhaps the God's initial idea was to use this astronomical amount of cause and effect to directly plunder the complete Unchanging trait from me."

After all, that was the true key that allowed Him to transcend all constraints and achieve His unique status across all worlds.

"But He ultimately underestimated the true value and status of the immutable qualities themselves."

Even though He is the supreme being who holds the power of transactions, He must strictly adhere to the basic principle of equivalent exchange.

Even the immense karmic consequences of directly confronting the seven great gods were still insufficient to obtain a complete Unchanging trait. "So He opted for a less desirable option, choosing to utilize this immense karmic consequence to 'borrow' a portion of the Unchanging trait's authority from me, or rather, to temporarily leverage the power of this trait."

Using this borrowed characteristic, the Main God orchestrated a special invasion mission, causing the reincarnators from the Main God's space to disregard version update rules and descend upon this cyberpunk version, launching a massive version invasion.

After Lu Yan thoroughly understood the cause and effect of the whole incident, as well as the underlying logic, a hint of lingering fear and relief flashed in his eyes.

"What a terrifying supreme god! What powerful authority over transactions!" he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Even though I believe my planning and layout were perfect and my plans were flawless.

But before those terrifying beings who truly stand at the pinnacle of the world, wielding unparalleled power, and possess the ability to directly disregard rules and distort reality, no matter how many schemes or schemes you have, they may all ultimately amount to nothing, and you might even end up being used by them.

In Lu Yan's mind, the descriptive option about the God version that he had seen when he opened the version update interface reappeared.

[The Supreme God's Version: Before absolute power and supreme authority, all schemes and plots are nothing but futile illusions.]

It turns out that from the very beginning, the Supreme God had no intention of hiding this information from him.

Although Lu Yan was vigilant enough at the time, he still failed to fully understand the true meaning behind it and the unfathomable schemes of the main god.

After sorting out all his thoughts, Lu Yan's heart, which had been somewhat chaotic due to shock, gradually calmed down.

Although the invasion launched by the main god using his unchanging traits was massive, it was not an insurmountable predicament for Lu Yan in the present day.

With Lu Yan's current strength and trump cards, as long as the true unique being of this world does not descend in person, even if facing a top powerhouse like the Angel King who has already mastered a part of the incomplete uniqueness, Lu Yan is confident that he can put up a fight against him.

Among these descending reincarnators, there could not possibly be a terrifying being of the level of the only one of its kind in this world. If there truly were such a powerful being, they would never be bound by the Main God Space.

Even top-tier reincarnators with strength comparable to the King of Angels might not exist.

The only thing that Lu Yan needs to be wary of is that, given the backdrop of this version invasion, the main god may have the ability to interfere with the internal rules and order of this cyber version to some extent.

This means that Lu Yan must be more careful and cautious in his next actions, and be wary of any secret schemes from the main god.

"However, from another perspective, this sudden version invasion may not necessarily be a bad thing for me." A glint flashed in Lu Yan's eyes as he quickly began to calculate.

"The intelligent God suddenly established a celestial canopy covering the entire world, and judging from his style of doing things, he seems to be embarking on a path that may lead to his ascension to become the only one in this world."

The secrets and schemes hidden within this are certainly not simple.

"In that case, we can let these reincarnators, who are being used as cannon fodder by the main god, test the true nature and strength of that intelligent god."

This also gives me the opportunity to observe from the shadows and gather more intelligence.

With this in mind, Lu Yan's thoughts suddenly became clear.

He concealed all his aura, and like an ordinary shadow, silently followed the sneaky Ascended team into the City of Fourteen, a city full of unknowns and uncertainties.

Unlike the typical cyber cities that Lu Yan had seen in other cities in the cyber version, where the upper-class areas were glamorous and the lower-class areas were dilapidated, with rigid class structures and extremely unbalanced resource distribution, this was different.

The current City of Fourteen seems to have broken free from the framework of the cyberpunk version and undergone tremendous changes.

A large amount of resources were consciously invested in the originally impoverished lower urban areas, and brand-new high-rise buildings sprang up, their prosperity even rivaling that of the traditional upper urban areas.

The streets have become wider and cleaner, and various public facilities have been renovated.

More importantly, the kind of delusional fog that once permeated the city air, used to numb the nerves of the lower classes and immerse them in illusory pleasure, has been completely eliminated.

The entire city exuded a vibrant atmosphere that was completely different from what Lu Yan had felt in other cities over the past few days.

Compared to the other cities Lu Yan passed through before entering City Fourteen, which were still shrouded in the sky, the level of technology and intelligence in City Fourteen seemed to be relatively backward.

Although there are various smart devices and automated systems on the streets, their popularity and sophistication are significantly lower than in other cities.

This is likely also to prevent being secretly controlled and infiltrated by that omnipresent intelligent God through high-tech networks.

In every corner of the city, on every street and alley, on the exterior walls of buildings, and even on some inconspicuous public facilities, there are complex and mysterious golden patterns. These are the modified Heavenly Dao Code that hides the true information.

Although there have been rumors that the Heavenly Code has completely lost its original restrictive effect on the now-evolved intelligent God.

However, in the eyes of the people of City Fourteen, the reason why their city is the only free place not covered by the celestial canopy is still due to the celestial codes that are spread throughout the city.

They are like an invisible barrier, keeping the will of the intelligent God out.

The pedestrians coming and going on the street, whether male or female, are mostly muscular and strong, exuding a fierce aura.

They were almost all psionicists who chose the path of enhancing their physical bodies, forming a stark contrast to the mainstream cybernetic psionicists who relied on technological prosthetics and neural modifications.

What surprised Lu Yan even more was that some of the pedestrians were wearing uniform white training clothes.

The training uniform was simple and plain in style, but on the back, three eye-catching characters were clearly written in vigorous and powerful calligraphy.
