The moment Ian stepped into the gray mist, the void vanished.

He fell into an indescribable emptiness, and perception lost its meaning.

Because perception requires feedback, reference, and the support of energy and rules, but there is nothing here.

Hearing, touch, smell—all of these senses, in a well-regulated vacuum, are like engines without fuel, completely shut down.

Ian's consciousness became the only thing functioning within his body.

No, there's also the control panel.

Deep within consciousness, that golden light of order still trembled slightly.

The text on the panel surfaced in my mind.

[Current Environment: Incomplete Rule Vacuum]

[The host's soul is being subjected to a "rule extraction" effect. Extraction speed: slow... Estimated complete extraction time: one month]

[Warning: Once the rules are completely removed, the host will lose all supernatural powers, and the soul will revert to its original state.]

In its original state? Is it like the corpses in the ruins?

He must find the source of the rule vacuum, or deduce a rule model that adapts to the environment.

A month may seem like plenty of time, but there's definitely a threshold, and things could suddenly get out of control.

Ian's consciousness floated in the void, without direction or distance.

He tried to move forward, but the concept of "forward" was meaningless here as well.

If space itself does not exist, how can there be direction?

He could only wait, wait for his senses to adapt to this void, or wait for the panel to analyze enough information.

After an unknown amount of time, time itself lost its meaning here, and the panel finally captured its first piece of valid information.

It was from that primordial chaotic fragment in his hand that the black patterns inside began to come alive.

Ian was startled. The chaotic fragments were not stripped away in the vacuum of rules, but instead were "awakening".

This means that this vacuum of rules and the fragments of chaos share the same origin.

The text reappeared on the panel:

[An abnormal increase in the activity of the original chaotic fragments has been detected... Current activity level: 34%... 42%... 51%...]

The resonant frequency has been recorded and can be used as navigation coordinates.

In this directionless, rule-bound vacuum, the resonant frequency is the only direction.

Without hesitation, Ian's consciousness moved deeper into the gray fog, guided by the resonant frequency.

After an unknown amount of time, the resonant frequency grew stronger and stronger, and the activity of the chaotic fragments also increased.

When the activity level exceeded 80%, cracks began to appear in the seal of order on the surface of the fragment. The power of order he applied was also suppressed here, and the seal could no longer be maintained.

Once the seal is completely broken, the chaotic fragments will be fully awakened. At that time, the 0.3% chaotic imprint in his soul may be instantly activated by the fragments.

But he didn't stop, because at the end of the resonant frequency, he finally sensed something else.

It consists of a dozen or so undying consciousness entities.

They too floated in this vacuum, like insects trapped in amber.

Ian was shocked. After such a long time, each consciousness still emitted a faint fluctuation, clearly indicating that they were all powerful extraordinary beings.

But in this vacuum of rules, their power has been completely exhausted, leaving only their most primal consciousness struggling to hold on.

Ian scanned the consciousnesses across his panel. There were wizards, void creatures, and even one consciousness whose form was completely different from any known race.

His consciousness structure is not based on the essence of the soul, but rather on a form similar to an "information matrix," where each information node is constantly replicating and deleting itself.

They are all doing the same thing: trying to deduce the rules to adapt to this place and regain power.

Their methods differed.

Judging from the fluctuations in consciousness, the oldest wizard was at least a level six wizard, and his era was extremely ancient.

He is using the original rune system of the wizarding civilization to try to "engrav" spatial rules in the void.

But the moment his runes appeared, they were absorbed by the vacuum of rules and vanished into nothingness.

The Void Aberration attempted to forcibly "pollute" this vacuum with its own life essence, redefining the rules with its flesh and blood. However, as soon as its essence left its body, it was like a drop of water falling into the desert, instantly being sucked dry.

The existence of that information matrix is ​​constantly evolving into a model.

He seems to come from a civilization based on "computation," but his model is too complex, and it collapses every time he reaches a key point due to the excessive amount of information.

They all seem to have failed.

It's not that they aren't strong enough, but that they are all using the rules of later development to deduce the chaos before differentiation, which is like using words to explain the origin of letters, putting the cart before the horse.

Ian did not rush to act. He had the panel record the process that each consciousness had deduced, analyze the reasons for their failures, and integrate their fragmented information.

The panel's exceptional learning capabilities demonstrated their true value at this moment.

All the fragmented deductions of the losers, pieced together by the panel, are forming an increasingly clear picture.

To leave this place, one must deduce a complete model that suits this environment, redefine oneself, and thus gain the right to leave.

Defining chaos is an extremely difficult task.

Ian is different; he has knowledge from his past life.

The Big Bang theory, the principle of entropy increase, the gravitational collapse of black holes, quantum fluctuations and the creation and annihilation of virtual particle pairs...

These fragments of knowledge from past lives, integrated by the panel, are forming a chaotic origin hypothesis that transcends the existing understanding of wizarding civilization.

Chaos is not emptiness, but a superposition of "all possibilities existing simultaneously".

The differentiation of rules is the process by which a superposition state collapses into a specific eigenstate. Order is one eigenstate, and chaos is another. They are not enemies, but two sides of the same coin, which is chaos.

Ian had the panel model this hypothesis and then actively display it, allowing the space to choose for itself.

If your essence is indeed a remnant from the chaotic differentiation process, then the differentiation model I deduced should resonate with you.

Silence, a long silence.

Then, for the first time, the rule vacuum responded, and the entire space trembled silently.

At this moment, the words deep within my consciousness began to pulsate wildly:

[Deductive model and rule-based vacuum bottom layer frequency resonance: 73%……81%……89%……97%……]

[The resonance intensity has exceeded the critical value, and the "rule extraction" effect of the rule vacuum on the host has been suspended.]

[The host gains the "Chaos Affinity" state, which allows them to mobilize a portion of their own rule power within a rule vacuum.]

Ian opened his eyes, and in the absolute nothingness, he saw something for the first time.

It was a grayish-white light, only the size of a fist, yet it made his heart tremble more than any star.

Within the light, there is no order, no chaos, only the most primordial existence, the origin before all rules were born.

Around the origin, Ian saw the fate of those who failed.

Their consciousness was completely drained by the vacuum of rules, and their souls were transformed into the most primitive particles, drifting around.

The fluctuations he sensed earlier were merely the lingering echoes of a soul unwilling to perish.

When the simulation model was completed, an unprecedented change occurred in Ian's mental sea.

The two cores of the sun and moon trembled simultaneously.

The golden-red flames on the surface of the sun's core began to flow backward, as if pulled by an invisible force, collapsing from the edge towards the core; the blood-red crescent moon did the same.

At this moment, the two celestial bodies, which were originally orbiting each other, simultaneously felt a more powerful "gravitational center".

The center is not outside, but in the direction of their own collapse.

Ian sensed the process but did not intervene.

The rule vacuum that grants him rule affinity is now penetrating his soul essence, directly inscribing the chaotic differentiation logic in the deduction model into the operating rules of the sun and moon dual cores.

The solar nucleus and the blood moon are no longer opposing poles; they are being redefined. When they completely collapse, order and chaos will be born simultaneously.

The dual cores began to rotate faster, and the two tracks gradually tightened and slowly approached each other.

Each time they get close, their gravitational pull creates an exponentially stronger resonance.

The spiritual sea surged violently in resonance, and the power of the soul flowed from all directions into the gap between the two cores, filling the vacuum left by their proximity.

When the distance between the two cores is reduced to half of its original size, a qualitative change occurs.

The edges of the solar and lunar cores began to touch, giving birth to a color Ian had never seen before—grayish-white.

Instead of radiating outwards, it absorbs the surrounding light inwards. The structure at the edge of the dual core begins to disintegrate in the grayish-white light and then rearranges according to the deduced model.

Ian felt his soul being compressed, gaining an unprecedented sense of solidity.

Like a loose sponge, it is slowly squeezed tight by an invisible hand, all the gaps are squeezed out, leaving only the densest core.

The volume of the lunar and solar dual cores is constantly shrinking, but their density and mass are increasing exponentially.

When the sun's core shrank to one-third of its original size, the first "degenerate state" pattern appeared on its surface.

This is a crystal structure formed after the rules are compressed to the extreme; each line is a chain of rules that has been compressed to an extreme degree.

Tens of thousands of rule runes are squeezed into a single line as thin as a hair, and the distance between them is compressed to the quantum limit.

The lunar core is similarly compressed into a thin film, tightly wrapping around the surface of the solar core.

The two regular celestial bodies no longer separated; they transformed into a dense crystal the size of a fist, with grayish-white light patterns flowing across its surface.

Inside the crystal, gold and silver intertwine to form a double helix structure, like two star streams that are forever intertwined.

At the core of the crystal, all the light rays are collapsing towards an infinitely small point.

That is the origin in the deduction model.

Ian opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting the gray mist in the vacuum of rules.

The golden-red sun had disappeared from his right pupil, and the moonlight had also vanished from his left pupil.

The golden-red sun had disappeared from his right pupil, and the moonlight had also vanished from his left pupil.

Instead, there were two slowly rotating grayish-white crystals. They did not emit light, but the light passing through them was slightly bent.

The prototype of the simplistic star core has already condensed within his soul particle.

With a slight thought, a fist-sized, grayish-white ball of light slowly appeared in the void above his palm.

On the surface of the light sphere flowed the same double helix pattern as deep within the pupil, while the infinitely collapsing origin inside projected a faint gravitational lensing effect.

The space around the sphere of light rippled with visible transparent waves.

With each ripple that spreads outwards, the gray mist in the vacuum of rules is pushed away a bit, as if it has encountered some kind of repulsion from a higher level.

This is the prototype of the fused star core, and it will also be the abode of his immortal soul.

Although the final collapse has not yet been completed, it already possesses the core characteristics of a level six sun.

The rules were extremely compressed, the density increased dramatically, and gravity began to distort light.

But its real qualitative change is yet to come.

Ian aimed the light from the star core at the origin deep within the gray fog.

One is a projection of the rules born from his deductive model, and the other is a real existence left over from the differentiation of chaos. They resonated for the first time in the void.

Meanwhile, Ian's simplified star core continuously absorbs the primordial power of the rule vacuum feedback during this process.

There was no need to take out super-energy crystals to replenish energy; there seemed to be an infinite source of power here.

The density of the star nucleus is increasing, its volume is decreasing, and the bending of light on its surface is becoming more and more pronounced.

He has already touched the threshold of the sixth level of the Radiant Sun, and is only one step away from condensing an immortal soul.

Then, all the feedback from the deduction models, along with the rule affinity granted by the rule vacuum, were integrated into the Undying Soul, completing the ultimate collapse of the Sun and Moon dual cores.

But at that moment, an unfamiliar fluctuation came from the edge of the vacuum of rules.

Five wills, imbued with the aura of the abyss, are approaching from the outer edge of the gray mist.

They carry some kind of extremely ancient concealment runes, which even the vacuum of rules cannot completely prevent their infiltration.

Ian instantly realized that this was the fateful veil of the Abyss's will.

Only such high-dimensional power could silently infiltrate the Alliance's territory.

Ian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he watched the aura deepen.

"Unfortunately, you're too late!"
