Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 178 Heavenly Ether
“This form is not stable… It has nothing to do with the internal atoms. The main reason is that the rest of the data has not been changed.” Liu Xi was silent for a while before speaking. “Therefore, the overall structure is no longer in accordance with the rules. It is subject to the overall correction, and the changed part of the data has returned to its original state again… This is the reason for the instability.”

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "So, how far can your basic computing power support you?"

“Currently, I can quantify almost all specific data without any problems... This is the most basic level. If I were to analyze an abstract object, such as the force of your punch, the difficulty would increase by several orders of magnitude, which is beyond my current intellectual capacity,” Liu Xi admitted.

She continued, "After all, many vectors, including forces, don't last long, so it's difficult to analyze them in a short time... and modification is almost impossible."

Mu Xiang nodded: "Is that so... Then you should mainly use your reward points to enhance your intelligence. If there are any side quests later, you can exchange them for bloodlines that can increase your calculation ability, such as the Three-Eyed Clan bloodline."

"Next, it's time to exchange for another ability..." Liu Xi turned around and contacted the main god, "Otherwise, this ability is really a bit useless."

Mu Xiang shrugged: "Many A-level exchanges are like this, especially skill-based ones... You need to master them yourself, rather than getting immediate results."

Zheng Zha touched the bridge of his nose and asked Mu Xiang, "The other skill she exchanged for now is the B-level skill we mentioned before, right?"

Mu Xiang nodded: "Yes... Zhitian Ether."

In the introduction to the main god, Zhitian Ether is an early version of the Dao Yun Network. Zhitian refers to Mori Zhitian, the developer of this skill.

As far as Mu Xiang knows, Marici is the Hindu goddess of light, but she is also revered as a deity in other religions. For example, Marici Bodhisattva in Buddhism, and Doumu Yuanjun and Yuanming Daomu Tianzun in Taoism are actually the same person.

The Taoist goddess Doumu Yuanjun is below the Three Pure Ones and above the Four Emperors, corresponding to infinitely diverse narratives. It is entirely plausible to say that she was an early developer of the Daoyun Network.

The Daoist Rhyme Network's benefits to cultivators are undeniable, but this invention was not achieved overnight; it was the result of a long period of exploration… One early prototype was the Heavenly Ether. The Heavenly Ether can connect the brains of two people remotely within a certain range, providing various forms of sharing, such as combat commands, battlefield intelligence, and, most importantly, the sharing of computing power.

In terms of efficiency in sharing computing power between individuals, the Zhitian Ether is already comparable to a mature Daoist network, something that mental abilities such as Mind Chains cannot achieve. However, the Zhitian Ether was ultimately abandoned, primarily because when two or more people are interconnected, a connection model must be used. The more people there are, the more cumbersome the connection becomes, making it completely impossible to support large-scale operations.

However, when connecting the brains of two people, Zhitian Yitai is the most efficient... so only Liu Xi needs to exchange for this skill, and the person whose brain she connects with is Mu Xiang.

It's no exaggeration to say that Mu Xiang, with his third-order gene lock and super brain, actually has a computing power stronger than everyone else present combined... He can provide Liu Xi with the most terrifying computing power boost.

Neither of Liu Xi's skills provides any boost to her physical attributes. Strictly speaking, if she continued down the path of enhancing her computational abilities, even after acquiring the Three-Eyed Clan bloodline, her physical constitution wouldn't improve. It could be said that she and Mu Xiang had highly specialized her abilities from the very beginning.

However, the current Zhongzhou team has long passed the stage of requiring everyone to be an all-rounder. Highly specialized talents can still survive in the current Zhongzhou team.

After Mu Xiang returned to the horror movie and scored high, he would also allocate a portion of the rewards to her to exchange for protective items. In fact, this was already the limit of the investment in her, and it was only because she had two high-level enhancements and performed reasonably well in the first horror movie.

Like Long Taobing, he was only given protective gear after working tirelessly for ten or twenty days on "The Terrifying Black Hole"...

Liu Xi stepped out of the pillar of light: "Let's experiment with that during training later."

Mu Xiang nodded: "No problem... I already injected you with the T-virus stock solution this morning. It will take about five days. Once you unlock the first-level gene lock, your mastery of these enhancements will be even stronger."

Seeing that the exchange was complete, Zhang Heng coughed and walked towards the main god with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. Mu Xiang and Zhang Heng exchanged a glance, and seeing each other's bewildered expressions, they both laughed strangely.

The incident began when Zhang Heng got up early and discussed with Mu Xiang the precautions for controlling the telekinetic floating cannons...

Mu Xiang knew that the speed of the telekinetic floating cannon was too fast, so fast that even the user could not react to it, and the accuracy would be greatly reduced.

Given Zhang Heng's current strength, the best way to improve control precision is to find a mental controller. After all, the telekinetic floating cannon is driven by thought, and the information provided by mental scanning is enough to bypass many reaction steps and directly assist in its operation.

While waiting for Zhan Lan to wake up, Mu Xiang let Zhang Heng look for something he liked in the A-level exchange... After all, Zhang Heng, no, Zhang Heng himself, was a walking meme, with his survival talent maxed out. It was foreseeable that for a long time, there wouldn't be any exchange with attack power exceeding that of the telekinetic floating cannon, and as for defense and survivability... Zhang Heng didn't need them.

After all, this guy is always in a life-or-death situation, but there will always be an unexpected event that saves him from death... It's better to let him find out for himself. Judging from "Infinite Dawn", apart from the obsession of a Saint Seiya, Zhang Heng's intuition in this regard is very accurate.

Then, Zhang Heng suddenly asked, "Why is this item in the exchange for Grade A equipment?"

"What is it?" Mu Xiang was discussing computing power with Liu Xi when he heard Zhang Heng say this. Had he discovered some hidden exchange again? He hadn't found anything strange when he checked the table.

Zhang Heng opened his eyes with a strange expression and looked at Mu Xiang: "Loki mask... is this thing really that expensive?"

"The Mask? The Modern Monkey King?" Mu Xiang paused for a moment, then asked back.

“Yeah… an A-level side quest is worth 15,000 reward points,” Zhang Heng said.

Mu Xiang remained silent for a long time... His assessment was that this was already very cheap.

"Exchange it, you can use this." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and said through gritted teeth.

And now, Zhang Heng is about to exchange for this mask in front of everyone... He swears that although he's called the comedic killer, he absolutely doesn't want to be a comedian! Spending a fortune to exchange for this thing will probably drive him down a dark path!

Mu Xiang looked like he'd just eaten a dump, watching a beam of light descend in front of Zhang Heng... He swore he absolutely didn't want a troublemaker to interfere with his plans, but he also knew this thing was definitely Zhang Heng's exclusive exchange.

As the saying goes, "If you don't take what Heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences..." Since Zhang Hengfu has found his destined artifact by divine inspiration, let him be.

Although it was an item exchange, the pillar of light from the main god lasted for a very long time, almost comparable to the enhancement of an A-grade bloodline. When the pillar of light dissipated, a green oak mask appeared in Zhang Heng's hand, shimmering slightly with green light.

Zhang Heng turned around and looked at everyone with an innocent expression, then raised his hand...

"Stop!" Mu Xiang roared, and then a gust of wind spewed from his mouth, freezing Zhang Heng's hand.

Today's main update: Following the infinitely diverse setting, two enhancements related to computational power have been created. Also: The mask within the Dawn possesses energy accumulated over a very long time, thus exhibiting incredible immortality. Zhang Heng, the comedic character from the Primordial Era, is already at the fourth rank, so wearing the mask amplifies his influence. The mask provided to Zhang Heng by the main god in this game represents standard energy levels, and Zhang Heng's cultivation level is still low. All exchanges serve the plot; there's no need to worry about Zhang Heng's combat power being too inconsistent…
