Forced to become a top influencer, I rely on my tu cao to ruin the cultivation world.

The sky above Luoxia Peak was completely dark.

It was a deathly, lightless blackness, as if someone had wrapped the entire world tightly with a huge black cloth.

The burnt smell in the air disappeared, replaced by an absolute, suffocating silence. Even the roar of the factory, the sound of tractor engines, and even the howling of the wind stopped abruptly at that moment.

Jia Zhuang was standing in the driver's seat of the tractor, holding a wrench, preparing to upgrade the control system of the [Psychic Drone Swarm].

Suddenly, he felt the whole world "freeze".

Just like the moment before a computer crashes.

"What's going on? A power outage?" Elder Wang Teng's voice came from below, tinged with fear. "Chairman Jia, all the machines have stopped! Even the nuclear power batteries aren't outputting any energy!"

Jia Zhuang frowned, jumped off the tractor, and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a blinding red light shone in the deathly black sky.

That wasn't lightning, nor was it the aurora.

It was a huge, semi-transparent, red pop-up window suspended in the sky.

A chilling warning symbol flashed on the pop-up window, and huge lines of text formed from the laws of heaven appeared clearly in everyone's field of vision, like a judgment.

[System Announcement]

Serious violations have been detected in plane number 073 (the cultivation world).

Types of violations: illegal industrialization, abuse of high-dimensional energy, cross-dimensional resource theft, and disruption of the ecological balance of a plane.

Violator: Administrator Jia Zhuang

Punishment Decision:

1. Effective immediately, all operational privileges of the administrator "Jia Zang" in plane 073 are revoked.

2. Force the closure of all illegal industrial facilities (including but not limited to psionic charging stations, drone swarms, and nuclear converters).

3. Activate the "Dimensional Repair Program" to remove all industrial pollution.

4. Implement "physical erasure" (dimensional reduction attack) against violators.

Countdown: 10:00

[Heavenly Dao System]

Upon seeing this line of text, Jia Zang's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Physical erasure? Dimensional reduction attack?"

Countless images from science fiction movies flashed through his mind in an instant—two-dimensional foils, dimensional falls, cosmic cleaners…

"System! What's going on?!" Jia Zhuang roared frantically in his mind, "Wasn't it said that the Heavenly Dao was a Buddhist-like leader? Wasn't it said that it was too busy settling accounts to bother with me?!"

[System notification: Host, you have triggered the highest level of punishment from the "Heavenly Dao System".]

[Explanation: While your previous actions violated the rules, they were still within the "tolerable" range. However, your recent "cross-boundary overdraft" and "nuclear energy conversion" directly crossed the red line of the "Cosmic Resource Management Law." You not only drained the spiritual energy of this world but also extracted Earth's primordial energy through the live stream signal, which constitutes "interstellar theft."]

[Conclusion: The Heavenly Dao System has determined that you are a "dimensional scourge" and must be eliminated.]

"Interstellar theft?!" Jia Zhuang gasped. "I was just doing a live stream, how did I become an interstellar thief?!"

[System Notification: Your live stream signal has penetrated the dimensional barrier, forming a stable "energy siphon channel." The "spiritual energy" and "emotional value" generated by viewers on Earth while watching the live stream have been unintentionally converted into "industrial energy" for this world. This is defined as "unauthorized energy plunder" under cosmic law.]

Jia Zhuang fell silent.

He never imagined that his casual action would lead to such serious consequences.

He not only harmed the cultivation world, but also dragged down the Earth.

"What do we do now?!" Jia Zhuang exclaimed anxiously. "Ten minutes left! In ten minutes I'll be 'physically erased'!"

[System notification: Host, you have been stripped of your administrator privileges. The system is unable to provide you with any assistance.]

"What?!" Jia Zhuang panicked completely. "You're abandoning me?!"

[System Prompt: The system is merely an executor and cannot defy the will of Heaven. We suggest you... seek your own good fortune.]

"Good luck to you?!" Jia Zang was so angry he almost smashed the system panel. "You're just letting me die!"

Just then, the red pop-up window in the sky flashed again, and the countdown changed to [09:30].

At the same time, all the industrial facilities on Luoxia Peak began to disintegrate on their own.

The roaring factories, the drones hovering in the air, and even the psionic tractor under Jia Zang's feet began to spark, with parts falling off one by one, as if forcibly dismantled by an invisible hand.

"Chairman Jia! Help!" Elder Wang Teng cried out in terror, "My flying sword! My flying sword is now scrap metal!"

Jia Zang turned his head and saw that the flying sword in Wang Teng's hand, made of rare metal, was rusting and disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into a pile of worthless iron powder.

Not only Wang Teng, but all the cultivators' magical treasures, flying swords, and array plates lost their spirituality at this moment and became ordinary objects.

"Damn it!" Jia Zhuang gritted his teeth, "Heaven is going to cripple our martial arts!"

He tried to circulate the "nuclear spiritual energy" in his body, but found that the energy that had once surged within him had become lifeless, as if it had been frozen.

"Even energy has been sealed off?!"

An unprecedented sense of despair welled up in Jia Zang's heart.

This is the power of the Way of Heaven.

It doesn't need to send down heavenly lightning or dispatch heavenly soldiers and generals.

It only needs to modify the world's "underlying code" to make all your efforts vanish.

"Is...it really going to end?"

Jia Zang looked at the cold countdown in the sky, his heart filled with resentment.

He was not reconciled.

He was unwilling to let the industrial empire he had painstakingly built be deleted by the will of Heaven with a single click.

He was unwilling to be labeled a "malignant tumor" and eliminated before he could even put up a fight.

"No!"

Jia Zhuang suddenly raised his head, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes.

"System! You're saying I've been stripped of my administrator privileges?"

[System prompt: Yes.]

"What if I... regain access?"

[System notification: ...Theoretically, only the Heavenly Dao System itself can re-grant permissions.]

"The Heavenly Dao System..." Jia Zhuang muttered to himself, "Isn't it just a program?"

"Every program has bugs!"

"If there's a bug, I'll exploit it!"

In Jia Zhuang's mind, the soul belonging to the Earth's programmer was completely awakened at this moment.

He was no longer a cultivator, nor an industrial tycoon.

He is a hacker.

A hacker who dares to declare war on the laws of nature.

"Elder Wang!" Jia Zhuang shouted to the terrified crowd below, "Bring me all the usable spirit stones! Even useless ones will do!"

"Huh?" Wang Teng was stunned. "Chairman Jia, what do you need spirit stones for? Heaven has already turned them into worthless stones!"

"Waste rock?" Jia Zhuang sneered. "In my hands, there is no waste rock, only 'data' that hasn't been utilized yet!"

"Go quickly!"

Although Wang Teng didn't understand, he still subconsciously obeyed.

Soon, piles of dull spirit stones were moved in front of Jia Zang.

Jia Zang sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and concentrated all his spiritual power on a piece of discarded spirit stone in his hand.

Instead of absorbing the spiritual energy inside, he "looked" at the "data structure" inside the spirit stone, just like he had "looked at code" before.

Previously, what he saw was the "trajectory of spiritual energy flow".

Now, under the blockade of the Heavenly Dao System, what he sees are lines of cold, marked "invalid" code.

[Item: Low-grade Spirit Stone (Expired)]

[Code Status: Error]

[Error reason: Insufficient permissions]

"Insufficient permissions..." Jia Zhuang's lips curled into a cold smile. "Then I'll grant you higher permissions!"

He took a deep breath and carefully injected his last remaining trace of "nuclear spiritual energy"—hidden energy that he had previously concealed within his body and which had not been detected by the Heavenly Dao System—into the discarded spirit stone.

Instead of fixing the code, he... modified the code!

He changed the line of code that said "insufficient permissions" to "permission overflow"!

"Buzz—"

The discarded spirit stone suddenly lit up, but instead of the white light it used to emit, it gave off a strange purple light with electrical noise.

[System Warning! Illegal data tampering detected!]

[System Warning! Unknown privilege intrusion detected!]

The red pop-up window in the sky flashed violently, and the countdown accelerated instantly, becoming [05:00]!

"As expected!" Jia Zhuang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "The Heavenly Dao System isn't perfect either! It has flaws!"

"Family!" Jia Zhuang suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at the sky, "Don't just stare! Send me gifts! Send 'comments'! Send '666'! Lend me your 'spiritual energy'!"

Although viewers couldn't see Tiandao's pop-up window in the live stream, they could feel the oppressive atmosphere.

Hearing Jia Zang's shout, they didn't understand why, but they still frantically sent comments and gifts.

[666! Keep it up, streamer!]

[Defeat the Heavenly Dao!]

We are your strong support!

Countless faint streams of spiritual energy from Earth, following the live broadcast signal, penetrated the dimensional barrier and flowed into Jia Zhuang's body.

Jia Zang poured all this energy into the tampered spirit stone.

"Break for me!"

"boom--!!!"

The small spirit stone suddenly erupted with a terrifying energy fluctuation.

This energy is neither spiritual nor nuclear, but a pure, chaotic "data stream" with strong "hacking" attributes!

It was like a sharp knife, piercing the "firewall" of the Heavenly Dao System!

The red pop-up window in the sky shook violently, and the countdown froze at 03:14!

[System Error! System Error!]

[Unknown virus detected!]

[Attempting to repair... Repair failed!]

[Attempting to isolate...Isolation failed!]

[Warning! Administrator privileges are being reacquired...]

[Progress Acquisition: 1%...5%...10%...]

Jia Zang's face turned deathly pale instantly, and blood flowed from his nostrils.

This direct attack on the Heavenly Dao system consumed a great deal of his mental energy.

But he didn't stop.

He knew this was his only chance.

"Keep going! Family! Keep refreshing!"

He roared, transforming all his mental energy, along with the mental energy of the viewers in the live stream, into a "virus" that attacked the Heavenly Dao System.

In the sky, the red pop-up window and the invisible "data stream" are engaged in a fierce battle.

The entire cultivation world held its breath at this moment.

Everyone sensed that an unprecedented storm was brewing.

At the eye of the storm was the young man standing amidst a pile of discarded spirit stones, covered in blood, yet still stubbornly raising his middle finger to the sky.

The countdown continues.

【02: 30】

【01: 45】

【00: 59】

……

Jia Zang's consciousness was beginning to fade.

But in his mind, the progress bar was still moving forward slowly and steadily.

[Progress: 98%...99%...]

"Break it for me!!!"

Jia Zang let out a final roar, burning away all of his soul power!

"boom--!!!"

The red pop-up window in the sky suddenly exploded!

It turned into countless red fragments, falling like rain of blood.

[System notification: Administrator privileges successfully regained!]

[System Notification: The Heavenly Dao System is temporarily down!]

[System notification: The dimensional repair process has been aborted!]

The countdown stopped at [00:01].

The whole world fell into a deathly silence.

Jia Zhuang collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his whole body soaked in sweat and blood.

He succeeded.

He used his hacking skills to infiltrate the Heavenly Dao System, temporarily saving himself and his life.

But he knew it was only temporary.

The Heavenly Dao System is only "temporarily paralyzed," not "completely collapsed."

It will restart soon, and when that happens, he will face an even more terrifying retaliation.

"Elder Wang... Elder Wang..." Jia Zang called out weakly.

"Here! Chairman Jia! I'm here!" Wang Teng rushed over and helped Jia Zhuang up.

"Notify...notify all factories..." Jia Zhuang said with difficulty, "Abandon...abandon all...defenses..."

"What?!" Wang Teng was stunned. "Give up defense? That Heavenly Dao..."

"Heaven's will... will return soon..." Jia Zhuang gasped for breath, "We... we only have one chance..."

"What opportunity?"

"Counterattack..." A mad glint flashed in Jia Zhuang's eyes, "Counterattack...the Heavenly Court!"

"Since this world can't accept us... then we'll... find another world!"

"Use all...all the resources...to build warships!"

"Ten thousand...ten thousand tractors...that's our...interstellar fleet!"

After saying this, Jia Zhuang completely fainted.

Looking at the still deathly black sky, and then at the unconscious Jia Zhuang, a resolute glint flashed in Wang Teng's eyes.

"Yes, Chairman Jia!"

He shouted to all the monks:

"Did you hear that?! Chairman Jia has given the order! Abandon all defenses! Focus all efforts on building the 'Aid to the Land'!"

"We must launch a counterattack against the Heavenly Court!"

"For survival!"

"For freedom!"

"To...survive!"

"boom--!!!"

The factory at Luoxia Peak roared to life once again.

But this time, it's not about producing drones, it's about... building warships.

An unprecedented, desperate counterattack against the will of Heaven has officially begun.
