The Last Sentinel

In the chat group, countless emperors and holy lords lamented.

Master of Machines: This is strange. I've already poured in the energy of two universes, so why can't the supercomputer give me the reversal formula?

Tian Suanzi: I have already used up the resources of one and a half universes, and it is still just a bunch of redundant data.

Immortal God of Magic: No, it won't work at all. My universe has already simulated the resources and basic physical and mathematical rules of my homeland, but I still can't give a reversal formula.

The first deepest affection of Hongmeng: The Master of Machinery represents the mechanical technology civilization, the Heavenly Calculator represents the metaphysical cultivation civilization, and the Immortal God of Law represents the alchemical physical civilization. The fact that the three masters of the civilization could not calculate the reversal formula of a low-dimensional universe back home when they joined forces is unreasonable.

Fifteenth-level martial artist: This is indeed unreasonable. Normally, with this amount of resources invested, let alone some bullshit reversal formula, even the third level of the Time Law could be deduced. The current situation is definitely abnormal and there must be something fishy going on!

Wuji Demon Lord: You mean something is secretly sabotaging things, constantly changing the data?

Fifteenth-level martial artist: This can only be the reason. We must find out this variable who is secretly causing trouble!

Wuji Demon Lord: How do I capture him?

Fifteenth-level martial artist: If I had known, I would have already made a move to capture him. Why would I be rambling on here? It's not that I don't know. Besides, if we really wanted to capture him, only Ye Feng could do it. We're not even in our hometown, so we can't capture him anyway.

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: In that case, let's reverse the data and give it to Ye Feng. As for the rest of the variable-handling, let Ye Feng handle it!

Immortal God of Magic: The data is too big, will Ye Feng explode?!

Master of Machines: Compress it!

Tian Suanzi: Compression is useless. He can't handle a universe-level amount of resource data by himself. He'll have a complete mental breakdown...

Hongmeng's First Affection: There's no need to worry. Ye Feng's mental strength is actually incredibly powerful. These past few days, he's been communicating with us old fogies in the group every day. Subconsciously, this communication is also a mental battle. Our level of consciousness has honed him countless times. His mental strength is now ridiculously strong. He probably doesn't even know it himself. After all, if his mental strength wasn't strong enough, he would have collapsed long ago if he could talk to beings like us face to face. Just teleport him. He won't die!

At this very moment, two days and three nights have passed in front of Zu Chongzhi's Pi stele.

Half of the square was covered with Ye Feng's icons and formulas.

Ye Feng hadn't stopped yet; he was writing something rapidly with a marker in his hand.

The health team guarding the spaceship was extremely tense.

"This is insane! Is this kid going to die suddenly?!"

"Is this what a math genius is like? Going all-in, fighting to the death!"

"I'm really afraid this kid'll be stuck at the base on his first day of work; we won't be able to explain that to outsiders!"

"Unfortunately, he's already in the zone. His superiors have ordered that no one is allowed to interrupt his train of thought, and that whatever he needs must be met."

Not far away, even more worried than the health team was Master Xuan Nu.

I thought Ye Feng would just do the calculations for two or three hours, at most one night, and give up if there were no results the next day.

But Ye Feng went all in, completely risking his life. For three days and two nights, his eyes were bloodshot as he frantically calculated. He was no longer human; he was a prisoner of divination.

"How is it?"

The base commander approached and looked at Ye Feng, who was still calculating in the middle. "Any results yet?"

The Mystic Maiden shook her head. "No, perhaps we should use force!"

The advisor hurriedly said, "No, using force will harm him! It might even ruin his life!"

The Mystic Woman said, "But the fact that pi cannot be calculated is a universally acknowledged objective fact in the scientific field. Even if he is a mathematical genius, how come so many mathematical geniuses before him—Newton, Gauss, Euler, Taylor, Young, Einstein—didn't discover this?"

Upon hearing Xuan Nu's words, Ye Feng, who had been frantically calculating in the middle of the square, suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted at Xuan Nu, "What did you just say?!"

Xuan Nu was stunned for a moment, at a loss for what to do.

Ye Feng shouted excitedly, "What did you just say! Quick! Say it again! I feel like the answer just slipped through my fingers!"

The Mystic Maiden composed herself and said, "I'm saying, pi is a universally recognized objective fact in the scientific field. Even if you're a mathematical genius, how come all those mathematical geniuses before you—Newton, Gauss, Euler, Taylor, Young, Einstein—didn't discover it?"

"Hahaha--"

Ye Feng snapped the marker in his hand in two, raised his hands to the sky, and roared almost maniacally, "I understand! I completely understand! I made a fatal mistake!"

"The problem of calculating pi is not something that can be solved using three-dimensional coordinates; it's a four-dimensional mathematical problem!"

"And I actually tried to solve a four-dimensional mathematical problem using a three-dimensional approach! How could that possibly succeed!"

"The problem-solving approach in mathematics is top-down. A five-level problem-solving framework can solve a level four problem, but a level four framework cannot solve a level five problem!"

"Therefore, to completely solve the problem of reversing pi, we must introduce a solution framework with at least four or five dimensions!

Ye Feng's words echoed across the vast square, and almost all the researchers from the [Divine Capital] base came out.

"What happened to Ye Feng?"

"What is this new guy doing?!"

"He... he seems to have made a breakthrough! He's found a solution to the problem involving pi!"

"That's impossible! Finding the solution means he's completed the theoretical part; all that's left is the practical application. This has never happened before. How could this unknown math kid possibly do it?"

At this moment, even the commander of the [Divine Capital] base was filled with disbelief. "This, this is impossible! How could there be a solution! If a solution appears, it usually means that the theory has been completed, and the next step is practical work! That's pi, that's the inverse formula! If pi is solved and the inverse formula is realized, it means..."

A middle-aged woman continued, "That means the laws of time are under control, the coordinates of the fourth wall are anchored, the vertical barriers of the universe are completely breached, and humanity enters the era of a multidimensional universe! We will also end the era of the deep underground world, completely spread civilization to everyone, and lead humanity into a four-dimensional civilization!"

The officer turned to look at the beautiful woman. "Queen Mother of the West! Aren't you on the far side of the moon?"

The beautiful woman looked at Ye Feng with her hands behind her back, "A great operation is about to begin. The young mathematician will launch an unprecedented practical operation in front of everyone and deduce the formula for reversing pi! Kuafu, start the highest live broadcast of the Human Alliance. This scene is worth watching for everyone."

Commander Kuafu said, "Understood, live streaming across the entire region has been activated!"

At this moment, a powerful electronic signal was transmitted from various branches of the Human Supremacy Alliance.

"[Global Breaking News - Important Announcement]: Significant progress has been made in the derivation of the inverse formula for pi in the Southern Heavenly Gate Project's Luoyang [Divine Capital] phase. Southern Heavenly Gate member Ye Feng has completed all theoretical work and entered the practical operation stage. Southern Heavenly Gate invites all organizations to witness this pivotal moment in the breakthrough of human civilization!"

"[Important Announcement - Global Update]..."

This sparked a huge wave of discussion, with countless talented groups turning their attention to the live stream, and the Human Supremacy Alliance forum descending into chaos.

"The inverse formula? Is it pi?"

"It's pi, also known as the 'God's Formula'! A God's Formula that can never be fully derived!"

"Someone has solved the theoretical problem of God's formula? That's fucking insane! Is humanity's ninth technological revolution finally about to begin?"

"If successful, this will not only be the Ninth Industrial Revolution, but also a major leap forward for human civilization! It will lead all of humanity to break through the fourth wall and enter the age of light-speed navigation! At that time, we will be able to travel between stars at the speed of light, and even faster than the speed of light!"

"Hahaha! This is truly something to look forward to! If the South Heavenly Gate project succeeds, the future will be limitless!"

"You're overthinking it. I've never even met this guy. He's not some math expert from Nantianmen. How could he possibly do that?"

"In my opinion, it's probably just a newcomer trying to attract attention and make a big splash! I can understand, I had the same mentality when I first arrived in the Deep World..."
