CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 363 WORLD MECHANISM ANALYSIS_2

Yan Xing took over the conversation. "Chui Chui has roughly explained our deductions about the world mechanism. The world mechanism can detect ’Contrary,’ which means it has the ability to collect world data without omission. The world mechanism cannot predict ’Contrary,’ meaning it isn’t capable of processing all data. This also means..."

Chui Chui interjected, "Its data processing capabilities have a limit. Even if it exhausts all the world’s energy, it still couldn’t complete all the data processing. I have the most authority to speak on this. Only after it discovers ’Contrary’ does it use ’Contrary’ as a keyword to find future ’Executioners’ who could potentially kill ’Contrary’."

Max seized the most crucial point. "A limit means it’s not invincible."

"Exactly!" Yan Xing felt his own train of thought clearing as they analyzed. "Your resistance wasn’t a complete failure. Your ability to penetrate this world implies a delay in the cultivation of ’Executioners.’ Five ’Contraries’ are already enough to overwhelm the data processing capabilities of the world mechanism. The world mechanism is a bit underwhelming!"

Knowing his resistance hadn’t been futile, Max instantly became excited. Yes, being able to track the ’Executioners’ back was a breakthrough in itself!

"What you mean is... as long as there are enough simultaneous ’Contraries,’ the world mechanism’s data processing capacity will become saturated. If the pace of ’Executioner’ training drops, ’Contraries’ could potentially turn the tables on the ’Executioners.’"

Yan Xing knocked his chopsticks on Max’s head. "I’m here discussing how to deal with the world mechanism, and you’re talking about killing ’Executioners’? I *am* an Executioner. Believe it or not, I might just execute you first."

Max repeatedly apologized, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was too excited. I don’t even remember how many years it’s been; that battle has been weighing on me like a mountain. The feeling right now, it’s truly wonderful."

Yan Xing could feel a significant change in Max, and the trust between them had deepened.

"Don’t be too happy just yet; these are still just our deductions. But at least we have a viable strategy..." Turning to Chui Chui, Yan Xing then said, "This is your area of expertise. Do you have any suggestions?"

Chui Chui thought seriously for a moment before speaking. "Let me summarize. First, the world mechanism is just something for data collection and processing. We still don’t know exactly what it is. However, it certainly doesn’t possess divine power. This is because it has to deal with ’Contraries’ who have obtained divine power and ’Executioners’ who are temporarily granted it; there’s no reason to endow the world mechanism itself with divine power. If it had divine power... with us plotting loudly here, it would’ve already sent divine punishment to annihilate us all."

Chui Chui’s words made everyone look up at the sky. The weather was nice, showing no signs of impending divine punishment.

"Continue," Yan Xing urged.

"Second, the world mechanism lacks wisdom. If it were intelligent, it would definitely have annihilated us all with lightning by now."

"Can you not keep mentioning us getting annihilated?" Yan Xing scolded.

"Yes, yes, yes, Master... I’m sorry, Master." Chui Chui hurriedly apologized. "I was just joking. With wisdom comes desire, and with desire comes mistakes. The intelligent processors I develop for databases are absolutely not allowed to possess wisdom. There’s a specialized program that regularly scans the processors. Once it detects any awakening of Junior Intelligence, it immediately transfers the program segment and repairs the system where the segment was removed. This is how accuracy and efficiency are ensured.

"Third, the world mechanism has a capacity limit. The emergence of just five ’Contraries’ caused it to experience a delay. Mr. Max, producing five ’Contraries’ at the same time must be very rare, right?"

Max replied, "Obtaining divine power is not an easy thing; it’s considered good if even one ’Contrary’ appears every few thousand years. We are an extremely rare exception. That was a war affecting the entire world—the *true* entire world. All ultimate beings were awakened and participated. The heavens and earth were turned upside down. Civilizations were nearly obliterated. At that time, all we did was fight, for who knows how long. Eventually, we even forgot why the war started and what we were fighting for. Just when I was feeling lost, at a particular moment, I suddenly broke through a long-standing bottleneck. My spirit instantly felt as if it could encompass the entire universe. At my whim, the dead revived. I could freely alter energy, shaping it as I desired. That feeling... it was like I was a god." Max drifted into his recollections.

Yan Xing knocked on his head with a chopstick again. "Get to the point!"

"Right, right, the point... Since then, I began to devote myself to ending that senseless war. And I met four other heroes who, like me, had obtained divine power in the war. One of them was even my arch-enemy. We could see the world as the other saw it, so we shook hands and made peace. And that’s how the war ended. The war created us, but I don’t wish to start another war of that scale just to create more of us."

Yan Xing said, "I’ve read about that war in the history books, and I can guess who you five might be, but I don’t know which one you are. It’s your right to keep a secret. All I hope is that you can give us... whatever help you can in our research on divine power."

"Let’s leave the professional stuff to me," Chui Chui took the initiative this time to start her explanation. "A world mechanism created who knows how many years ago couldn’t possibly have anticipated the changes in today’s world. Its outdated system probably can’t keep up with the times anymore. For example, it definitely didn’t foresee that we would make mass-producing gods feasible."

"Mass... mass-producing gods?" Max’s jaw dropped. Gods... can be mass-produced?

Yan Xing reminded Chui Chui from the side, "Be more professional."

"Yes, Master, more professional." Chui Chui explained to Max the Nine-Headed Dragon Database plan she designed. "...At least theoretically, we can use the consciousness particles of the Nine-Headed Dragon to replicate a virtual Nine-Headed Dragon consciousness, thereby gaining its divine power authority. By continuously replicating this digitized divine power authority and then shaping bodies with energy, we can create gods. In essence, divine power is merely the authority to use the world’s rules, enabling the transformation between energy and matter. The key to obtaining this authority lies within the Nine-Headed Dragon’s consciousness particles, and it’s also latent within your own consciousness, Max. Although the Nine-Headed Dragon’s consciousness was scattered, and while your own consciousness is insufficient to free you from your seal, enough of it remains for you to wield a portion of your divine power."

Yan Xing asked Max, "If I take you back to your world, could you break the seal?"

Max asked Yan Xing, "You want to take me back?"

He had kidnapped Tong Yitong in the hope of using the spatial coordinates left by Yan Xing to return to the Magic World. But to Max’s surprise, Yan Xing was actually offering to take him back this time.

"I feel that your trust in me now is enough for me to trust you," Yan Xing stated.

Max laughed. "No, I’m not going back now. Even if the seal on me is lifted, my strength wouldn’t recover quickly, and I might not even be able to control my body. And the appearance of a ’Contrary’ will inevitably lead to the emergence of a corresponding ’Executioner.’ This is an unpredictable variable for us. Not every ’Executioner’ is as easy to talk to as you, and the world mechanism will inevitably create conditions under which I would be forced to fight them. I’ll continue to enjoy modern life here. You go find my body; I hope it will help you with your research on divine power."

Yan Xing asked Max, "Are you willing to entrust your body to me?"

Max laughed. "Your trust in me now is enough for me to trust you. After listening to Chui Chui, I realize that I’ve been out of touch with the times for too long. Going back wouldn’t be much help to you and might even cause trouble."

Yan Xing laughed heartily. "How can you not be of help? You are so wealthy, lend me some money..."
