Disaster comes without a sound.

After more than a year of construction, the Divine Capital Special Zone has begun to take shape. It's not like the primitive city of the Old Divine Capital but more like a modern city with a touch of antique charm like Xinyue City. At this moment, it is afternoon, and many people have just finished a day's work and are hurrying home.

The child student Li Xiaomeng has been a bit unhappy recently. A month ago, her favorite Mr. Chen unexpectedly left the Divine Capital.

Mr. Chen was a really good person, good-looking, with high cultivation, and his lectures were also interesting. Sigh, the current teachers of the classics, really, they even hit students' palms!

They even hit the palms of little girls!

What did Mr. Chen say? Little girls shouldn't be hit!

Due to her anger, she walked with her head down, and didn't notice the anomaly in the sky at first. As the crowd exclaimed, she finally looked up to the sky.

Then, the little girl let out a sharp scream.

In the sky, a mysterious figure floated. It was dozens of feet tall, entirely pure white, glowing with a soft radiance, with extremely long limbs. Except for a pair of narrow, blood-colored flaming eyes, it had no other human features, as if it was merely a silhouette. On its head, a gigantic, colorful halo was rapidly expanding—those colors were precisely the representative colors of the Heart Demon Curse.

Many cultivators attempted to fly up and probe this massive monster, but the overwhelming pressure from the monster crushed them on a spiritual level. All cultivators daring to approach within a hundred feet of the monster found their spirits trapped in a negative death loop, unable to command their mana, and fell to the mortal world.

"What's going on here?" Immortal Kongyuan, stationed in the Divine Capital, shivered. Just moments ago, she brushed past the aura emitted by this giant, and half of her mana unexpectedly collapsed. An inner chill made her utterly unable to move.

What on earth is happening?

This question, and in this Divine Capital, probably only the Military Governor Zhuang Xuelin knows.

"The Great Capital Governor has gone berserk!"

The Immortal Alliance's city servant, shaped by drawing on the Power of Human Dao through the Heart Demon System, the Great Capital Governor, has gone berserk!

At this moment, his right hand wore an arm armor, into which three Heart Demon Great Curse Memory units were inserted. This arm armor was precisely the magic artifact invented by Wang Qi, used to command the Heart Demon Curse. It was these three memory units that granted him extremely high authority, protecting him from the Heart Demon Curse.

At this moment, he was also filled with doubt: "What's going on? Why is this happening?"

He knew the Great Capital Governor had gone berserk, but didn't know why that god had gone berserk.

He didn't know that the source of all this was just a paper.

The Supreme Heart Demon Mystic Net is the largest subsystem of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, initially set up with absolutely no function to detach from it—at the time, Feng Luoyi's thought was "such a dangerous thing must be firmly controlled." Back then, even in his dreams, he never expected that the true collapse would instead start from the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm he trusted the most.

At this moment, the berserk out-of-control Great Capital Governor roared to the sky: "Why..."

..........................................................................................

Disasters are not confined to the Divine Capital.

The myriad peaks of the Wanfa Sect can genuinely be called picturesque. Besides the twenty-eight main peaks, the other numerous peaks are not bold and rugged, but relatively gentle. Usually, two or three fellow Daoists wander among them, discussing the Great Dao of Calculation.

Of course, this is limited to the discussion of the Great Dao of Calculation. If male and female cultivators attempted to engage in some overly intimate acts in these mountains and plains, the cultivators from the Discipline Office of the Wanfa Sect would descend from the sky and detain them. Those adulterers wanting to disgrace the sect's reputation would have to engage in a fight with the battle-hardened elite practitioners of the Discipline Office.

But on this day, no one had the interest. The entire Wanfa Sect fell into inexplicable panic.

A terrifying storm of spiritual power erupted from the earth's veins, sweeping through the entire Wanfa Sect. This spiritual power had a mysterious nature, neither the mana of the Human Clan nor the Essence Demon Energy of the Demon Clan. This terrifying disaster seemed human-made, yet its power was so great that even Primordial Spirit Masters felt faintly alarmed. Below the Golden Core Stage, many fainted directly from fear,

All of the Wanfa Sect cultivators shivered, almost kneeling before this terrifying might that was unmatched by human strength, as if it was the wrath of the heavens.

"Hmph!"

Just then, a cold snort resounded in everyone's ears, azure spirit light burst forth, precisely nullifying every mysterious spiritual force. Bai Ze God Monarch soared into the air, scanning the surroundings, and finally his gaze pierced through the layers of seals to settle on the berserk Mi. He took one step, entering the small cave heaven beneath the Wanfa Sect, then reached out his palm and grasped remotely.

"Calm... for me!"

Bai Ze God Monarch's mana fiercely clashed with Mi's spiritual power, boiling instantly like strong acid meeting a strong base. Countless explosions appeared at the boundary of their powers. In order to pass the Immortal Path with the Immortal Alliance, Mi had already abandoned most of his body on the mother star Sea Sky, dispersing it among other guardians; less than a hundredth of his power remained. Now, in terms of absolute spiritual power, it wasn't stronger than a Carefree Stage cultivator, and soon, in this pure confrontation, was on the losing end.

Vast mana condensed into locks, transforming into an array, layered and embedded, suppressing Mi. Then, Bai Ze God Monarch knelt on the ground, like a mortal who had just carried a heavy load for seven or eight miles, sweating profusely, gasping for breath.

Fairy Ruoche was one step slower than Bai Ze God Monarch, and in the end, only watched as Bai Ze God Monarch sealed Mi. For some reason, this top female Immortal of the Wanfa Sect was now very pale, as if she had just taken a severe blow.

"What happened to Daoist Fellow Mi?" Fairy Ruoche asked, "Sea God Types are docile in nature, never before did anything like...

"Most likely not yet transcended the realm... just didn't transcend just now..." Bai Ze God Monarch wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and then let out a "wa" sound, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Senior Bai Ze!" Fairy Ruoche hurried to support him, but her own steps faltered. She too was now injured.

If anyone else had seen this, they might have felt terrified. What on this planet could possibly wound a peak-level Carefree Realm cultivator?

However, neither Bai Ze God Monarch nor Fairy Ruoche found it strange that the other was hurt.

They were injured for the same reason.

Confident in their abilities, they didn't immediately withdraw from the realm, but instead stayed in the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm to inquire about the situation from Feng Luoyi. They weren't the only ones who did so.

For these powerful cultivators, even without a calculator, they could enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. Not to mention, some among them had authority granted by the Immortal Alliance Law, second only to Feng Luoyi himself. He simply couldn't forcefully expel these people.

"You felt it, didn't you?" Bai Ze God Monarch asked.

Fairy Ruoche nodded: "Terrifying..."

"That will... is it the Martial Arts True Intent? Or something else? Truly terrifying." Bai Ze God Monarch stared at the great lake in front of him, bound by his power, with a distant look: "It was so terrifying. When I was hit, I actually felt my mana cycle was self-negating... continuously negating, negating that 'negation', then negating that 'negation of negation'... a dead loop..."

Just hearing Bai Ze God Monarch's recount, Fairy Ruoche couldn't help but shiver: "Really, it's too terrifying. What exactly is it?"

Bai Ze God Monarch shook his head: "I don't know. However, it seems that Mi must have sensed this terrifying true intent, falling into constant self-denial... After a while, it should improve."

"Though the collapse was terrifying, it always left a sliver of life." Fairy Ruoche nodded, agreeing with Bai Ze God Monarch's judgment.

After resolving the frantic Mi, Bai Ze God Monarch sighed in relief, but a fire of anger flared up: "What exactly is Feng Yuehan doing?"

"Mr. Feng only mentioned he was going to review an extremely subversive paper," Fairy Ruoche hesitated to say.

Bai Ze God Monarch cursed: "I know that too! I just want to know what paper he went to see!"

Mathematics is different from other disciplines closely tied to experimentation; everything in mathematics is deduced, traceable. It updates previous understandings, but where does it ever completely overturn them?

Is it possible that the development of mathematics in later generations could overturn that 'one plus one equals two'?

In mathematics, when a discovery must overturn previous understandings, it can only be described as a 'crisis.'

A mathematical crisis.

But, how easily does a mathematical crisis occur?

Bai Ze God Monarch would die before believing something like this could happen so easily.

Fairy Ruoche was quite worried: "Well... my master asked him, but Daoist Fellow Feng just won't say..."

Feng Luoyi himself, after realizing the essence of Wang Qi's paper, couldn't withstand the urge to read it. He needed to see with his own eyes what was shattering his faith. However, he wasn't entirely careless. He at least knew there were things that couldn't be shown directly to Master of Calculation Xi Baiche.

He knew his old friend's personality too well.

Since he decided to conceal it from Xi Baiche, he had to keep it completely secret. Xi Baiche, known as Master of Calculation, not only for his extraordinary mathematical skills but also for his high prestige and numerous disciples. If, by any chance, word got out, one of Shenzhou's mightiest could potentially fall on the spot.

However, such secretive behavior also led some self-assured, high-status Carefree Practitioners to ignore Feng Luoyi's warnings.

As long as no Immortal invades Shenzhou through the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, what are we afraid of?

This mindset ultimately resulted in quite a few Carefree Practitioners getting injured.

Yet those injuries were minor, easily healed in a day or two by circulating their cultivation technique.

The attack through the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm was merely the 'thoughts' Feng Luoyi had after witnessing a certain subversive paper. In terms of magical combat, they were merely hit by the aftermath.

If even the 'aftermath' was so terrifying, then what of Feng Luoyi, positioned at the 'center'?

In front of the Wanfa Sect's Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror sub-device, the All Laws Mirror, Master of Calculation Xi Baiche looked worried.

"Old friend... what have you seen?"

The power directed at 'mathematics,' what exactly is it?

The old man vaguely sensed that a crisis was coming.
