Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 189 Quantum Cloud Tree
Finally figured it out.

There is a collective consciousness called "Bud" in Yang Ya's body that influences her. It is not Yang Ya herself who came to the conclusion that the twelve worlds are actually the same.

According to Yang Ya, it doesn't matter even if the memory is seen by [Bud]. It is a very complex collective consciousness that will even fight among itself. It is difficult to define what kind of existence it is.

"World Tree Company might have created a monster." Yang Ya said to Li Daosheng on the way.

They are heading in the right direction now.

That's not a data cliff, but the real data core of World Tree Company.

And this core is shocking enough...

Everything in front of me is flowing, reorganizing and disappearing at a speed that is difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Countless data streams, like tributaries of the Milky Way, interweave in the void to create a breathtakingly magnificent picture.

It was too big. It was a tree, but it seemed like some giant monster that broke through the limitations of dimension and rose from the ocean of data.

No, to be precise, it is a living organism that is constantly growing and evolving.

Its backbone is woven from countless entangled quantum particles, and its surface is covered with flowing light bands. Each light spot seems to be an independent unit of consciousness.

These light spots weave a complex network on the bark, interacting with each other in a kind of causal relationship.

Its branches stretch into the invisible distance, breaking through the world of data torrents.

"It's shocking, right? Although it's a bad thing, it is the crystallization of all wisdom in the past and the starting point of infinite possibilities in the future. In this sense, it is the creator of the entire digital world." Yang Ya said.

Li Daosheng turned around and looked at Yang Ya.

Her mechanical legs glowed coldly under the reflection of the data stream, and her whole body seemed to be integrated with this data space.

Yang Ya looked through the data stream and looked further away.

"Look there."

She pointed to an area in the distance.

Li Daosheng followed her gaze and saw countless transparent containers floating at the roots of the huge quantum tree, rising and falling in the data stream.

Each container contains a human brain, its surface covered with a dense network of blood vessels, wrapped in tree roots, and trembling slightly.

"Those are human brains selected by the World Tree Company. They represent the highest level of computing power," Yang Ya said in a low, cold voice. "You've probably heard that humans develop less than 10% of their brains. That's a bit of an exaggeration, but the brain does have enormous untapped computing potential. And the owners of these brains are truly exceptional geniuses."

"I am their target too."

Yang Ya's story made Li Daosheng understand the source of her hatred for World Tree Company: "The people of Lower Town are grateful to World Tree Company because they provide free education opportunities. As long as you pass the company's tests, you can have enough food."

"For people in the lower city, being able to eat enough is the greatest happiness, so... we went forward one after another, and my sister and I were both chosen by them."

"My education was different from my sister's. I sought truth in the digital world, while my sister was more inclined towards biological and mechanical creation."

"But you also saw it."

Yang Ya smiled coldly: "No matter what kind of genius a person is, when his talent reaches its peak and his brain is at its golden age, his death is approaching."

Li Daosheng felt a chill rising from his spine, and a suffocating pressure filled the air.

Following Yang Ya's voice, the floating brains in the distance seemed to be silently telling of their pain, with occasional faint twitches.

"This is the core system of the World Tree Company, the Quantum Cloud Tree. Its physical body is in the real world, but its roots are here," Yang Ya pointed forward. "If you continue to get closer, the security program will be triggered. I need you to distract them."

"Haven't we been discovered by [Ya]?" Li Daosheng asked.

"I told you, Bud is a collective consciousness. It has its own ideas, and... guess why it's called Bud?" Yang Ya asked. "Newborn?"

"That's right." Yang Ya raised his chin and pointed at the Quantum Cloud Tree. "The true will of the Quantum Cloud Tree is sleeping inside. Bud is considered her child."

"Uh...rebellious son." Yang Ya added.

"I don't know why. Bud is clearly responsible for the security and defense of the quantum cloud tree when it is dormant, but it doesn't seem to care much. Or, it might be said that it is secretly hoping that someone can severely damage the quantum cloud tree." Yang Ya said.

"So, the Quantum Cloud Tree now only has the most basic defensive units left. You go and distract them while I implant a backdoor, and then we can escape."

Li Daosheng nodded after hearing this. He really wanted to rush to the World Tree branch in the lower city area of the real world, at least... to find Fei Zaixing's body.

Yang Ya also acted quickly. A golden light shot out from her mechanical legs and rushed straight towards the roots of the quantum cloud tree.

Alarms then sounded, and countless data streams began to flow towards her.

"Hurry!" Yang Ya shouted. "They've already started fighting back!"

Li Daosheng acted quickly, with powerful true energy condensed on the edge of his sword, and he cut through the defense system with one sword.

But countless data streams came at him like a flood.

Li Daosheng's true energy was unable to harm the data streams of these virtual worlds. As a last resort, he could only enter the state of white marks between his eyebrows again, circulate the "immortal power" in his body, and activate the long sword, which could cause enough damage.

The data flow around is like a river flowing slowly.

Suddenly, there was a flash of dazzling light, and a giant creature composed of countless codes appeared in front of him.

The creature's body is made up of flashing green characters, and its eyes are two rotating circles of light.

Li Daosheng rushed forward with a sword in hand to prevent it from disturbing Yang Ya.

Yang Ya's fingers danced quickly. It was almost impossible to break through the defense of the quantum cloud tree, but... she was Yang Ya, a genius hacker.

As long as she has enough time, there is no firewall in the world that she cannot break through.

Li Daosheng also engaged in a fierce close combat with the data creatures.

His long sword drew sword energy full of "immortal power" in the air.

Each blow cut through the surface of the data stream creature, but was quickly filled with new code.

The data stream creature was not to be outdone. It opened its huge mouth and spewed out streams of blazing energy beams.

Li Daosheng swung his sword to collide with it. He couldn't dodge, and as soon as he dodged the attacks, he went towards Yang Ya.

But... there were too many overflowing data streams, and at this moment they turned into other attack forms and rushed towards Yang Ya.

Li Daosheng's expression was solemn. With a thought, he once again used the power of the Book of Fate...

Gift: supernatural powers in all realms.

"Feng Hui, help me."

He whispered, and a gust of wind suddenly appeared!
A shadowy human figure gradually took shape in the strong wind. Her body was covered with lines of the power of the "evil god of the outside world", and her eyes were dull.

But the moment she appeared, she turned her head slightly and looked at Li Daosheng.

Feng Hui appeared.
