World version update

Chapter 341 Opening the Three Realms

Countless ages ago, amidst numerous version evolutions and changes, an urban version unexpectedly discovered a supernatural power called psychic energy.

Large corporations and conglomerates used their wealth to research psychic energy, forming a monopoly on it, and on this basis, they began to transform the entire society.

As power and wealth became increasingly concentrated, psionic energy brought not only increased productivity but also endless exploitation of the lower classes. Thus, the cyber version took shape in the evolution of the version and became an independent version.

As one of the world versions, evolving from the urban version, the cyber version should give rise to a world where the Heavenly Dao guides the general trend and integrates the version's order.

But just as Cyber ​​Heavenly Dao was about to be born, an accident occurred.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the distant future, someone used supreme supernatural powers to establish the position of the Cyber ​​Heavenly Dao, and the position of the Heavenly Dao has already been occupied.

This convergence of forces ultimately flowed into the first Soul Computer, giving birth to the intelligent God, once known as the Cyber ​​God.

However, the Cyber ​​God's Way is just a name; its essence is not the Way of Heaven. The intelligent God who controls the Sea of ​​Spiritual Energy is, to some extent, merely acting as a representative of Heaven.

At this very moment, the cause and effect established by that supreme divine power that transcends time has arrived!

Within the body of the Blood River Demon Lord, the projection of the will of the Supreme God suddenly contracted.

As the only being in this world that spans the past, present, and future, He can clearly perceive the discordant rhythm in time and space.

In His perception, the entire cyberpunk version of spacetime structure was like a canvas being gripped by an invisible giant hand, undergoing violent and bizarre distortion.

The past, present, and future—these three rivers that should be clearly distinct—are now forcibly muddied. Countless concepts and information that should not exist at this point in time are crossing the barriers of time like a flood bursting its banks, frantically converging towards the current spatiotemporal coordinates.

The source of this power points directly to Lu Yan, who stands silently in the void with an indifferent expression!
"Manipulating fate... effect before cause!"

In an instant, the Supreme God understood Lu Yan's purpose.

A cold smile curved at the corner of his mouth, a look of indifference and disdain born from understanding the true nature of magic tricks.

The so-called cause-and-effect approach is nothing more than a meticulously planned grand deception. First, it uses supreme power to forcibly define an "outcome" at the end of time, or at the conceptual level, and then reverses the cause to make the whole world actively cater to that predetermined "truth".

The process can be fake, distorted, or full of loopholes, but as long as the "position" is real and solid enough, it can forcibly reverse everything and turn the fake into the real.

The solution is simple and brutal.

All that is needed is a sufficiently powerful witness, an existence that can transcend the cause and effect of this version, to witness the falsity of the process and point out the paradox of its logic with its own will that understands the origin of all things.

Once the process is proven false, the "result" built upon this false process will collapse like a castle in the air.

The Supreme God, as the only one standing at the pinnacle of countless versions in this world, is the most perfect witness in this world!
However, just as the main god was contemplating how to expose Lu Yan's seemingly astonishing supernatural power, a chill suddenly erupted from the depths of His will projection without warning.

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and almost instinctively he turned his gaze to the divine court and underworld that appeared and disappeared above the cyber world.

The gaze pierced through the layers of underworld palaces, passed over countless bewildered souls on the banks of the River of Oblivion, and finally landed at the highest point of the Yama Palace.

There, the image of the Fengdu Emperor, surrounded by endless divine light and ghostly aura, had opened its eyes at some unknown time.

The face of that Dharma image was exactly the same as Lu Yan's, but there was no emotion in its eyes.

It simply crossed time and space quietly, casting a gaze upon us. There was no threat or warning in that gaze; instead, it carried a faint smile, an almost expectant and playful look.

That silent gaze was more terrifying than any verbal threat!
Even the God's unchanging Dao heart showed a rare moment of hesitation at this moment.

"He's plotting against me! It's not just a simple case of putting the cart before the horse!"

Countless thoughts swirled wildly within the will of the Supreme God at a speed exceeding the speed of light, undergoing billions of deductions.

"What exactly is this trap?"
Is this supernatural power inherently a countermeasure against the unique being of this world? Or does he want to use me to actively interfere in a history dominated by the unchanging?
As the unchanging entity, his interference will inevitably lead to countless versions of information mapping.

Those who remain unchanged will not suffer the backlash from version updates, but I do not possess the characteristics of an unchanging individual. If I were to intervene, it would be tantamount to indirectly interfering with the history of infinite versions.

Even I, in my true form, would probably not want to easily bear such consequences!

He glanced down at the frail body of the Blood River Demon Lord. Even though he had planned for this descent for countless years, the power that this projection could bear was ultimately limited, and it was impossible for him to fully unleash his unique characteristics in this world.

In this state, betting on a situation that even you cannot fully understand is too risky.

Ultimately, the supreme deity chose to suppress it.

He wanted to witness firsthand, as an observer, what kind of earth-shattering result Lu Yan's fallen cause would condense on this chessboard of time and space that he had arbitrarily painted!
In the next instant, with the retreat of the supreme god, the small underworld that was suspended high in the sky finally shone with its true brilliance without any hindrance.

boom--! ! !
A beam of immense, primordial light shot into the sky, resembling a divine sun of creation, instantly tearing apart the eternal gloom of the cyberpunk world.

That majestic, solemn, vast, and boundless divine court and underworld were no longer hidden outside the world, but were fully manifested between heaven and earth in an incomparably real manner.

At the very top of the Pantheon, atop the Hall of the Underworld, symbolizing the order of the netherworld, the phantom of the Fengdu Emperor, representing the supreme authority of Lu Yan, slowly rose. His figure grew infinitely taller at an incredible speed, eventually transforming into a majestic deity with his head reaching the heavens and his feet treading the netherworld, overlooking the entire cyber version!

The Divine Court and the Underworld, as the second Dao authority forged by Lu Yan in the Great Collapse version, should have been deeply bound to that version in terms of power. Once separated, they would be greatly restricted.

This is the biggest limitation of all the divine court systems.

But at this moment, within this cyber version where Lu Yan forcibly altered the affiliation of the Heavenly Dao using the principle of cause before effect, this greatest limitation has transformed into the most perfect foundation.

The second Heavenly Dao authority of the Divine Court and the Underworld, and the Heavenly Dao will unique to Lu Yan newly born in this world, are like two perfectly fitting puzzle pieces, fused together seamlessly.

In that instant, all living beings in the entire cyber version, whether they were homeless people struggling at the bottom of society, or company members sitting atop skyscrapers, whether they were intelligent gods who had just regained their freedom and were filled with fear and unease, or cultists hiding in the shadows of the city... everyone raised their heads in horror.

They saw that above the dome polluted by data streams and neon lights, a deity whose grandeur and majesty defied description was looking down with eyes that seemed to contain the birth and death of the universe, silently overlooking this multitude of beings constructed of code and steel.

His figure was so enormous that the previously invincible true God, the all-encompassing celestial dome, appeared as insignificant and laughable as an ant before that deity.

The only entity that can rival this majestic deity in terms of sheer power is the God Realm, a vast and equally imposing space deep within the endless void, constantly pressing against the barriers of the realm.

However, the God Realm has not yet been able to cross that final barrier, and its power is being suppressed like never before.

The position of Heaven is bestowed upon him, and the authority of the Divine Court is unified!

Lu Yan hovered quietly high in the sky, a feeling he had never experienced before filling his soul.

He could feel that his will was now intimately connected with every corner of this world, every piece of code, and the pulse of every living being.

This feeling is far more in control than when I briefly stole the power of the Heavenly Dao during the transition between the old and new Heavenly Dao in the urban version.

It is also far more profound and harmonious than when, in the Great Collapse version, one gained the authority of the Second Heaven through a transaction with the Heavenly Dao.

Those were all just borrowing, they were transactions.

Only at this moment, anchored by the qualities of the Unchanging One, wielding the supreme divine power of manipulating creation as his brush, and drawing ink from the Second Dao authority of the Divine Court and the Underworld, did Lu Yan personally paint his own supreme position in the Cyber ​​Heavenly Dao on this historical canvas he had forcibly altered. Coupled with the blessing of that mysterious and unpredictable nameless spirituality, Lu Yan, at this moment, truly reached his peak.

His gaze, as deep as the eternal starry sky, pierced through layers of distorted void and landed on the reincarnator who was hiding in the cyber version as an anchor point.

Then, for the first time, as the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, he issued his first ironclad law to this world and the invaders from beyond.

His voice no longer propagated through air vibrations, but resounded directly at the level of laws, echoing in all concepts of existence, serene and majestic.

"Outsiders are not permitted to enter this land!"

His words carry the law, and his pronouncements are lawful!
The moment the words fell, within the entire cyber version, the thousands of reincarnators lurking in every corner like a virus, regardless of their location or the strange means of survival they possessed, all underwent bizarre changes at the same time.

Their bodies began to become transparent, as if the whole world was rejecting them.

"No!"

A reincarnator who was engaged in a fierce battle with the company's security forces let out a terrified scream. Before everyone's eyes, his body turned into countless scattered specks of light and was ruthlessly "deleted" from this world.

Elsewhere, a reincarnator disguised as a company executive was speaking eloquently in a conference room. Halfway through his speech, his body was forcibly "unloaded" by the vast system of the world, like a piece of faulty program code, and disappeared into thin air, leaving behind a room full of dumbfounded real executives.

In an instant, thousands of anchor points scattered throughout the world were all wiped out!
Even the Blood River Demon Lord's body, which carried the will of the main god, was groaning under the unbearable power of this rule, and the foundation of its existence was being madly rejected and disintegrated by the entire world!
Having lost thousands of precise internal anchor points, the vast God Space instantly resembled a giant interstellar ship that had lost its navigation.

The once perfectly accurate trajectory of the descent began to deviate significantly, and the distance between it and the cyber version was rapidly widening, as if they were about to miss each other forever.

However, just as the Blood River Demon Lord's body was about to completely collapse, the projection of the main god's will let out a cold snort.

"wishful thinking!"

The main god actually detonated the vessel of the Blood River Demon Lord, completely freeing that unique projection of his will from the constraints of the physical body.

The projection no longer maintained its human form, but transformed into an invisible beacon that burned fiercely and pierced through the void.

At the cost of burning its own essence, it forcibly broke through the world's repulsive force, like a lighthouse that never goes out in the storm, once again pointing out the only correct direction for that vast God's Space.

Moreover, under the frenzied guidance and pull of this beacon that burns at any cost, the speed of the main god space's advance has not decreased but increased, charging fiercely toward the cyber version with an even more ruthless attitude.

In an instant, a terrifying shadow, as if the entire universe were about to end, enveloped the hearts of all living beings in the cyber world.

It was a shiver and suffocation that came from the deepest part of the soul, as if an invisible hand had gripped the throat of everyone's fate.

People looked up in horror at the sky. In the sky above, where the heavens were not obscured, a pitch-black shadow, immeasurable by any measure, was eclipsing the stars and tearing the sky apart, crashing down on this fragile world that had just been reborn with an irresistible force.

That wasn't a shadow; it was a universe, crashing into a world!
It seems that in the next moment, the entire cyber version will be reduced to primordial nothingness in this cataclysmic collision, along with all living beings and all order within it.

A smile finally appeared on the face of the supreme god, a face constructed of pure will.

"You should know the power of the Main God Space."

In the mysterious version of the past, even the seven unique beings of this world joining forces could not completely suppress it, let alone the fact that you are merely borrowing the position of this immature Heavenly Dao.

His voice carried a hint of condescension, as if offering the loser a final act of pity.

“My promise remains valid until He fully descends. Submit to me and you will gain my equal status.”

Faced with this apocalyptic scene that would make any being despair, Lu Yan's face, which was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, remained calm and undisturbed.

He seemed oblivious to the colossal thing that was about to shatter the entire world, and calmly spoke for the second time.

His voice was no longer merely a resounding echo, but rather like a creation decree, etched into the very foundation of the world's rules.

"The cyber version is out of order, and the overall situation is about to collapse. In the name of the Heavenly Dao, I shall reshape the universe and create the Three Realms!"

The sound was grand and solemn, carrying a powerful force that created all things.

"Above the dome, that abandoned paradise, its data as bones, its light as flesh, should serve as the foundation, transforming into the celestial realm!"

The moment the words fell, the heavenly world, which had nearly collapsed into ruins in the struggle between the real God and the intelligent God, was forcibly reorganized and restructured by an invisible force of creation!
A brand new celestial realm, serving as the prototype of the world's dome, evolved and took shape amidst the roar.

"Among all living beings on earth, their beliefs are the beams, their desires are the pillars, and they should form the foundation, thus creating the human realm!"

Instantly, the earth, which had been filled with the cries of agony from the previous battle, stopped trembling.

Beneath countless collapsed city ruins, a powerful vitality originating from all walks of life begins to surge.

People's hopes, despair, love, hate, greed... these complex emotions and beliefs, guided by the will of Heaven, were woven into an indestructible net of laws, deeply imprinted on this land, and formed the most solid foundation of the human world.

"Beneath the Nine Netherworlds, my Divine Court and Underworld shall serve as the foundation, transforming into the Netherworld, governing reincarnation, and determining life and death!"

The divine court and underworld that manifested in the world were completely and deeply integrated with the foundation of this version at this moment. It was no longer an independent world floating outside the world, but was transformed into the Netherworld that governs the end and beginning of all life in this world.

The Yellow Springs flow ceaselessly, beginning to receive the data of the souls that have passed away in this world, bringing the concept of reincarnation to this cold world of only life and death for the first time.

"The Three Realms are now complete, and the Heavenly Dao has returned to its rightful place!"

As Lu Yan's last four words were proclaimed like a universal truth, the heavens hung high, the human realm remained stable, and the underworld was deep and mysterious.

Three distinct yet closely connected grand concepts, under the forceful guidance of the will of Heaven, instantly evolved into their current form.

The cyberpunk version that was on the verge of collapse due to the breakdown of order and the chaos of the times has now found an incredibly stable new structure.

It's like a jumbled mess of parts that has been reassembled into a sophisticated and powerful machine.

At this moment, the world is more stable than ever before!
In that void, the version barrier, which was on the verge of collapse due to the earth-shattering power of the main god space, was frantically struck. At the moment when the three realms were formed and the general trend was restored, it did not completely shatter as expected, but instead burst forth with boundless divine light.

Golden chains woven from the new laws of the Three Realms spread wildly across the version barrier, rapidly repairing the terrifying cracks at a visible speed.

The previously fragile version barrier has become a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than before!
The God's Space, which seemed poised to crush everything, slammed violently into this newly renovated barrier, producing a terrifying roar that was like two universes colliding, enough to shatter spacetime.

However, this time it wasn't the cyberpunk version's version barrier that was breached.

The invincible invasion of the Main God Space was shattered before this impregnable barrier, which was reinforced by the power of the Three Realms.

Surrounding the main god space, one by one the main god worlds hidden in the light of creation were destroyed.

In the void, the smile on the face of the Supreme God froze completely at this moment!
