World version update

Chapter 333 Polluting the Myth of God
In City Fourteen, at the heart of the rebels' secret base, inside that underground computer center.

As a soft and holy light slowly shone down, Lu Yan's figure reappeared.

When the light faded, he was all alone; Anna did not return to the real world with him.

Having uncovered the astonishing secrets behind the Heavenly World and learned of the existence of the true God, a behemoth spanning multiple versions, Lu Yan decisively abandoned his previous methodical and gradual approach to infiltration.

Since the ultimate goal of the true God is to completely assimilate the intelligent God, everything He does, whether it is establishing the celestial canopy or condoning the reincarnators' attacks on the Soul Tower, is essentially to stabilize the soul world called Heaven and accelerate the reenactment of the creation myth belonging to the true God, thereby completing the coverage and replacement of the intelligent God at the conceptual level.

Once the true purpose of God is determined, there is a vast amount of room for maneuver.

There must be a fierce struggle for control between the intelligent God and the real God.

In this chaotic situation, Anna, thanks to the unique concealment ability of the Heavenly Code, is able to hide her presence more easily and ensure absolute safety.

Keeping her in the Heavenly World would not only allow her to more effectively control those souls, letting them spread silently like a virus to every corner of Heaven, secretly eroding the foundation of this virtual divine kingdom from within, but would also make her a key pawn that could trigger changes at crucial moments.

As the number of souls Anna can influence and control grows, the impact she can have within the Heavenly Realm will inevitably expand rapidly, like a snowball rolling downhill.

Of course, Lu Yan had already come up with a solution to this, and it could even be said that this was exactly the situation he was happy to see.

"Since the true God and the supreme god, the only beings in this world standing at the pinnacle of different systems, have both turned their attention to this small cyberpunk version and want to make their moves here."

"Then let them fight it out themselves first and see whose methods are more skillful."

A bold and crazy plan had already taken shape in Lu Yan's mind.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan's figure did not pause at all. He took a step and the space around him suddenly distorted as if a stone had been thrown into the water.

In the next instant, he had silently returned to the top floor of the parliament building, to that simple and solemn office.

He leaned back leisurely in the large chair, his slender index finger rhythmically tapping lightly on the smooth tabletop, making a soft tapping sound, as if he were pondering something, or as if he were waiting for something.

A moment later, there was a gentle knock on the office door, and then the Blood River Demon Lord walked in slowly with respectful and humble steps.

"Your Excellency, what are your orders?" The Blood River Demon Lord's face was plastered with a fawning smile, but deep in his eyes, he could not hide a hint of excitement and agitation.

Today, numerous titled Reincarnators launched a simultaneous, devastating attack on Soul Towers across cyberpunk worlds, a truly groundbreaking achievement.

The long-stagnant progress of the task finally saw a significant fluctuation as a result.

More importantly, after this large-scale practical test, the incredibly powerful effect of the Heaven-Covering Talisman in concealing heavenly secrets has been recognized and sought after by all reincarnators.

Whether they are high-ranking titled powerhouses or ordinary reincarnators at the lower levels, they are all eagerly seeking ways to obtain the Heaven-Covering Talisman through various channels.

As the controller of the distribution channels for the Heaven-Covering Talisman designated by Lu Yan, the Blood River Demon Lord naturally seized this opportunity to reap unimaginable profits.

Of course, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to actually embezzle those incomparably precious Heaven-Covering Talismans.

All he did was provide some small conveniences for those reincarnators who were eager to succeed, within the limits of certain rules.

For example, he allowed some powerful titled reincarnators to take on several missions to destroy the Soul Tower in a single day.

Then, during the time it takes to activate the Heaven-Covering Talisman, destroy even more Soul Towers.

According to the rule set by Lu Yan, for every three Soul Towers successfully destroyed, an extra Heaven-Covering Talisman would be awarded as a reward. This concentrated action would allow them to obtain one or two extra Heaven-Covering Talismans while completing the mission, for future use.

In return for providing this convenience, the Blood River Demon Lord naturally made a fortune. All sorts of rare items, powerful skills, and even massive amounts of reincarnation points flooded into his pockets like a tidal wave.

Lu Yan was well aware of the Blood River Demon Lord's harmless little tricks, but he didn't care about them.

Compared to his subsequent earth-shattering plans, these were merely insignificant details.

He didn't even look up at the Blood River Demon Lord, but simply ordered indifferently, "Immediately send a message to summon all titled reincarnators currently in City Fourteen, and have them arrive at the conference room within three minutes."

Upon hearing this, the Blood River Demon Lord was startled!
His first thought was whether the capricious Speaker had discovered his underhanded schemes and was now summoning all the titled Reincarnators for a face-to-face confrontation.

But then he thought it was unlikely.

Given Lu Yan's unfathomable strength and status, my paltry gain is probably not even worth his attention.

Making such a big fuss over such a trivial matter is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Thinking of this, Blood River Demon Lord breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly bowed in agreement. At the same time, he immediately sent an emergency message to all eligible titled reincarnators.

The message had just been sent out, less than three seconds ago.

The space inside the office suddenly distorted, and a spatial portal shimmering with silver light opened out of thin air. Two powerful titled reincarnators stepped out with solemn expressions and stood respectfully to the side.

Immediately afterwards, figures exuding powerful auras arrived one after another, some tearing through space, some transforming into light, and some teleporting directly, using all sorts of incredible methods.

In just about a minute, all eleven titled reincarnators who had borrowed the Heaven-Covering Talisman from the Blood River Demon Lord and carried out the attack mission had arrived, with none of them absent.

After witnessing Lu Yan's terrifying display of effortless annihilation of four powerful individuals of the same level, no one dared to show even the slightest arrogance or disrespect in front of him.

Each of them restrained their powerful aura, standing there with their heads bowed and eyes filled with undisguised respect, as well as an indescribable sense of unease and awe.

Lu Yan's gaze swept calmly across the faces of these powerful figures, showing no interest whatsoever in their inner thoughts.

He got straight to the point: "I have summoned you here today for a new mission."

As he spoke, Lu Yan casually snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp snap of the fingers, clear and dynamic images appeared before the eyes of all the titled reincarnators without warning.

The scene depicts the location of the Soul Towers, which they had just destroyed and reduced to ruins.

However, at this moment, beneath those broken walls and ruins, a huge number of ordinary people with fanatical expressions have gathered.

They were kneeling on the ground with utmost devotion, listening to some psionicists dressed in pure white robes, extolling some mysterious scripture.

The psionicists in white robes continuously chanted legends such as soul ascension, heaven, the pool of reincarnation, and the immortality of angels, proclaiming the name of God. The titled reincarnators silently watched the scene before them, some with disdain, some with furrowed brows, and some as if they were nothing.

Lu Yan took in all the changes in everyone's expressions, and only after the video finished playing did he slowly and deliberately speak:
"The existence of that so-called intelligent God has begun to transcend the limitations of ordinary soul computers."

He is attempting to integrate his own concept into certain ancient mythological systems, using that virtual world of souls as its foundation to construct his own divine kingdom, and ultimately ascend to the true throne of God.

These words were like a bombshell dropped on a calm lake!
The numerous titled reincarnators present were all visibly shaken, their eyes instantly filled with disbelief and horror.

"Is what the Speaker said true?"

"An artificial intelligence dares to covet the path of faith and religion?"

"To attempt to steal the power of mythical concepts from cold, hard computer data is utterly unheard of! It's terrifying!"

Discussions erupted, and everyone was utterly shocked by the earth-shattering secret revealed by Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple.

Actually, what he said just now wasn't entirely a lie.

The intelligent God is indeed incorporating mythological concepts, but not actively; rather, it is passively carried out under the control of the real God.

However, he naturally didn't need to explain these deeper details to these titled reincarnators.

He paused, his gaze deepening, and slowly said, "I know your true purpose in coming to this world. I also know the supreme god you serve!"

The words "God" seem to possess some indescribable magic.

The moment the words fell, all the titled reincarnators present immediately and clearly felt that in some mysterious place in an infinitely high dimension, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through all illusions were slowly opening.

His supreme gaze transcended the barriers of endless time and space and versions, precisely casting it upon this world!

It was directed at each and every one of them!

At that moment, they felt that the immense power they had gained through countless reincarnations, the profound cultivation they had painstakingly accumulated, and even their souls and existence themselves, all involuntarily ignited under the gaze of that one look.

Everything they had transformed into insignificant coordinates and foundation stones, solely to bear the supreme and sublime will represented behind those eyes, enabling it to descend smoothly.

However, just as that suffocating, terrifying pressure was about to descend completely...

But they saw the Speaker, who always seemed calm and collected, slowly raise his right hand and tap the table lightly with his index finger once more.

"Tuk!"

A soft sound.

Immediately afterwards, an unquestionable and authoritative voice slowly echoed in the room:
"It's not your turn to make an appearance yet!"

The sound seemed ordinary at first, but upon closer listening, it seemed to contain profound truths, resounding like a great bell deep within their souls.

In an instant, the terrifying pressure originating from infinitely higher dimensions suddenly froze as if it had encountered some even more irresistible force, and then receded rapidly like a tide.

Those cold, indifferent eyes, which were about to open completely, seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly closing and withdrawing their gaze from this place.

All the titled reincarnators, like drowning people breathing air again, suddenly snapped out of the shock and fear of their souls being crushed, gasping for breath.

The look in their eyes when they looked at Lu Yan was no longer just respect and awe, but filled with almost fanatical reverence.

As seasoned veterans who have spent many years in the God Realm, they naturally knew perfectly well who that gaze that had just attempted to descend represented.

That was the god they both revered and feared, both relied on and longed to rid themselves of.

This mysterious and unpredictable Speaker, with just a casual word or a simple action, was able to attract the attention of the main god across different versions, and even dispel the will that was about to descend upon him with a few words and a few laughs.

"Just how terrifyingly powerful has this Speaker become?"

A single thought, like a wildfire, flashed wildly through the minds of all the titled reincarnators:

"Perhaps we don't need to yearn for that illusory, permanent freedom anymore."

"Perhaps following this Speaker is our only hope of truly breaking free from the control of the Main God Space!"

Lu Yan clearly took in the changes in everyone's expressions, as well as the turbulent emotions surging within them.

He had just deliberately used the intricate causal connections between these reincarnated beings and the Supreme God to actively attract the Supreme God's attention across versions.

While this approach carries some risk, the potential rewards are equally substantial.

On the one hand, the power of the main god can be used to further intimidate and deter these arrogant titled reincarnators.

On the other hand, by demonstrating their terrifying strength, which is enough to rival the main god, they can greatly enhance their status and value in the eyes of these reincarnators, making them more willing to be driven by them, and even giving rise to thoughts of betraying the main god.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Lu Yan didn't delay any longer.

He leaned slightly forward, placed his hands on the table with fingers interlaced, and his expression carried just the right amount of seriousness.

"Next, I need you to do something for me."

Upon seeing this, the numerous titled reincarnators dared not show the slightest disrespect and immediately bowed respectfully, vying to express their loyalty:

"Speak freely, Speaker! We are ready to fight to the death!"

"No matter what, we will obey the Speaker's orders without any disloyalty!"

"Very good." Lu Yan nodded in satisfaction, a meaningful smile curving his lips, and slowly said:
"I will provide you with ample Heaven-Shielding Talismans, and you only need to do one thing."

"Corrupting the myth of God!"
