Chapter 423 Study
On the morning of the fifteenth day, as Su Fan was squatting on the South Heavenly Gate city wall eating breakfast, the surface of the shattered mirror suddenly lit up.
The light was so brief and faint that it had already dimmed back down by the time he looked down with his mouth full of steamed bun.
However, after the darkness returned, the background color of the mirror law remnant was different from before—it changed from a uniform purple-gold base to a purple-gold base with a layer of extremely fine silver-white ripples floating on it.
The shape of the ripples was exactly the same as the outline of the sound waves that vibrated in the air when he spoke on the city wall every day for the past two weeks.
He turned the broken mirror over and looked at it against the sunlight for a long time.
Every undulation of the corrugated layer flows slowly, converging from the edge of the mirror towards the center, then dispersing again after reaching the brightest small area at the center.
They disperse and then converge again, and converge again and then disperse again.
The cyclical rhythm perfectly matched the pulsating rhythm of the seed of law deep within the Ruins of Return.
"The learning progress on the old domain core is a little faster than expected."
The sound of the void came from the direction of the void fissure and was accurately transmitted to Su Fan's ears through the resonance field.
"Of the more than 30,000 law structure fragments distributed among the 3,789 light filaments, more than 28,000 have been matched and embedded by early this morning."
The remaining two thousand or so pieces are mostly long phrases with relatively complex structures, and the matching speed is slower than that for single characters, but the core aggregation system is continuously integrating the parts that have already been matched.
After integration, the core will actively release the complete law structure module through mirror resonance.
Su Fan put away the broken mirror, stood up, carried the Pangu Axe, and walked towards the Guixu Rift.
When Eros arrived at the White Rock Plateau, he was already standing at the edge of the rift. All ten transparent purple-gold law patterns on his hands were activated, and a dark purple beam of light condensed into an extremely thin light screen in front of him.
The screen displays a progress bar showing the matching of the internal laws and structures of the old domain core in real time—more than 28,700 light filaments have completed feedback, and the remaining feedback count of more than 200 filaments is constantly changing.
The heartbeats were neither too fast nor too slow, and each feedback took about three to five heartbeats to send and receive.
"It is expected to be completed by this evening."
Eros said.
"After completion, the core will perform the final step of integrating the law structure module - splicing together more than 30,000 segments according to the order in which their corresponding sound wave patterns appear in the original audio data."
Once assembled, the module is complete.
At that time, what we perceive through mirror resonance will no longer be scattered fragments of sound wave patterns, but a complete sentence.
That passage contains all the audio data from what Su Fan said on the city wall.
"Will the old domain core copy the entire passage?" Su Fan asked.
"meeting.
Its way of learning languages is not by memorizing words one by one and then combining them, but by copying the overall structure.
The law structure module formed after splicing together more than 30,000 fragments is a complete equivalent replica of the original sound wave ripple sequence.
The content it releases is not a collection of scattered words, but rather the equivalent form of the entire sound wave pattern of that passage from beginning to end.
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack and reached his hand in.
The temperature of the purple-gold halo on the seed surface remained as stable as before, but the ripple layer on the halo was significantly thicker than it was fifteen days ago—from a layer that was initially so thin as to be almost invisible, to a layer that is now so clear that the undulations of each sound wave ripple inside the ripple layer can be distinguished.
He recognized those undulating, curved shapes.
Those were the sound waves generated by the resonance of his throat and chest cavity when he spoke on the city wall every day. These waves spread through the air, were recorded by the broken mirror, and then sealed into the seed by the threads of Eros's laws.
"Are there any repeated phrases in the words it's learning?"
A Dou stood up from the white rock where he had been squatting and walked over, holding a small axe horizontally in his hand.
"have."
The data on Eros's screen flickered.
"For the past two weeks, Su Fan has been squatting on the city wall talking every day. Although the content of his talk is different every day, one word appears at least three times a day - 'Guixu'."
This word appeared second only to 'primordial' in the frequency of the raw audio data.
According to the identification priority of the old domain core, 'Primordial Wilderness' is ranked first, 'Return to the Void' is ranked second, and 'South Heavenly Gate' is ranked third.
It learns all the high-frequency words at the same time, but after integration, the first thing it releases should be the complete paragraph rather than a single word.
A complete word contains the entire vocabulary, so it doesn't need to select a single word to release first.
It will release the entire passage as the first complete law structure module through mirror resonance.
"What was the whole sentence about?" A Dou asked.
Su Fan remained silent for a moment.
"Every day I squat on the city wall and talk to myself about something different."
Sometimes it talks about the rotational patterns of fragments in the old wide-angle view, sometimes it talks about the relationship between the rhythm of seed pulsation and heartbeat, and sometimes it talks about the direction of the airflow brought by the wind blowing over the top of the city wall.
We talked for fifteen days, and the content added up to quite a bit.
What day was the original audio data received by the old domain core dated?
"It's what you said on the morning of the tenth day."
Xu pulled his right hand out from his chest, and the sound wave pattern of that audio data had already appeared on the purple-gold diagram in his palm.
"On the morning of the tenth day, you talked about the brightness changes of the gold patterns on the Nantianmen city wall under different lighting conditions in the morning, noon and evening. The content was quite long, and it took about two hundred breaths to talk from beginning to end."
In that passage, "South Heavenly Gate" appeared seven times, "golden pattern" appeared eleven times, and "light" appeared twenty-three times.
The most frequently used word wasn't 'primordial', but 'light'.
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack in silence for a while. "Then the most prominent element in the first complete structural module it learns will be about light."
Eros nodded.
When releasing the core law structure module of the old domain, it will not release all the contents of the entire passage evenly and simultaneously.
It prioritizes the structural segments corresponding to the words that appear most frequently in the original data.
The higher the frequency of a word, the stronger the manifestation of the corresponding rule structure when it is released. When perceiving, the content of high-frequency words will be perceived first, while the content of low-frequency words will be relatively blurry.
Therefore, the core meaning we perceive in the first paragraph will focus on the word 'light'.
As it continues to receive and learn more audio data, the clarity of low-frequency words will gradually be improved.
Time flowed slowly through the persistent purple-gold fluorescence of the White Rock Plateau.
In the evening, Xu pulled his right hand out from his chest.
He looked down at his palm, where the number indicating the matching progress on the purple-gold diagram had dropped to zero.
All 30,000+ law structure fragments were matched and embedded. After being reset to zero, an extremely dense ripple layer appeared on the surface of the graph. The shape of the ripple layer was more complete and precise than ever before.
"Integration is complete."
Xu's voice was very soft.
"The core is piecing together all the fragments into a complete law-based structural module according to the original sound wave sequence."
The assembly was faster than expected; it was anticipated to be completed in less than half an incense stick's time.
Once completed, it will be actively released through mirror resonance.
Su Fan stood up, hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder, and stood waiting.
Eros folded the light screen back into his palm, keeping the ten law patterns on his hands active.
A Dou spat the grass stem out of his mouth, squatted back on the white rock, and focused his attention on the dynamic movement of the purple-gold threads within the gray-white halo of the small axe.
The threads collectively lit up the moment they were fully integrated, and after the light faded, the ends of each thread began to release extremely fine streams of purple-gold law particles.
The particle stream drifted out from the surface of the axe blade, slowly converging in the air into an extremely thin layer of law-based ripples.
After half an incense stick's time had passed, Su Fan first felt the underlying noise in his chest suddenly quiet down for a moment.
After a brief silence, a completely new sense of law surged forth from the depths of the points on the inside of his ribs that corresponded to the positions of the old domain's light threads.
That sensation was unlike the temperature, vibration, or numbness I had felt before—it was the structure itself.
A complete legal structure, so complete that it can be understood directly without any translation, is being transmitted from the core of the old domain through mirror resonance, like a beam of light with all its contents written in advance passing through the surface of water without a single ripple.
He understood the meaning behind those words.
After the audio data, which was about two hundred breaths long, was converted into a rule structure, it unfolded into a complete semantic sequence the instant it was transmitted.
The first high-frequency word at the beginning of the sequence is "light," which corresponds to the highest intensity of the manifested law structure. So high that when Su Fan perceived the entire content of the passage, the first thing he confirmed was the volume of the word "light" in the whole structure.
The next most frequently used words were "South Heavenly Gate," "golden pattern," "city wall," "rise," and "fall"—all words he mentioned most often when he was squatting on the city wall and talking to himself on the morning of the tenth day.
After the core content of the entire passage was released through the law structure, Su Fan could perceive that it was a description of the changes in light from dawn to dusk on the golden patterns of the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
He wasn't consciously organizing his thoughts when he said those things; he was simply describing what he was seeing to himself.
Now, those descriptions have been completely replicated into a law structure by the old domain core and released back through mirror resonance. The released content forms an extremely clear law mirror in the corresponding perception area within Su Fan's body.
The content of the mirror image was exactly the same as the changes in brightness of the gold patterns he had seen while squatting on the city wall on the morning of the tenth day.
"It understood the meaning of that passage."
Eros opened his palm, and the purple-gold pillar of light condensed in his palm reflected the state of the laws operating inside the old domain core after the release of the law structure module.
"After it released the law structure module of that passage, the flow rate of the halo on the core surface slowed down slightly compared to before."
The slight slowness indicates that it entered a brief waiting state after the release was completed.
It's waiting for our response.
It studied for fifteen days, pieced together more than 30,000 fragments, integrated a complete law structure module, and released it through mirror resonance.
After it was released, it did nothing else but wait quietly there.
A Dou squatted on the white rock, looking up at Su Fan. "How did it feel about the words it relayed, those descriptions of light you gave me?"
Su Fan remained silent for a moment.
He sensed the lingering resonance left by the law structure module from the old domain in his chest after the transmission was completed.
Besides the complete data of that passage, the lingering resonance also contained a very faint and thin extra content—as if the old domain core had also encapsulated its own law temperature when it copied the entire passage.
The encapsulation temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, exactly the same as the temperature of the purple-gold halo on the seed surface.
But beneath the temperature lies a very thin layer of emotional perception.
Su Fan had never seen such a form of emotion in the daily operation of the Primordial Law life form—it was an extremely faint law response produced by the origin of the Old Domain Law after hearing that description of light.
"It felt that the content of that passage reminded it of something."
Su Fan's voice was very low.
"It is not understanding and learning semantics. When it receives the law structure module of that passage in mirror resonance, a part of the ancient law data stored inside it is triggered by the sound wave pattern of that passage and resonates very slightly."
The content of the resonance is a record of light illuminating the void inside the ancient domain—the origin of the laws of the ancient domain once briefly shone with an extremely rare law glow on its core surface countless eons ago. The color of the glow was seven-tenths similar to the color of the golden patterns on the South Heavenly Gate city wall in the morning light.
That fluorescent light only appeared once and never appeared again.
The original laws of the old domain sealed the data of that fluorescence deep within a node at the end of a certain light filament, sealing it for countless epochs.
Now that it has heard the description of light from the primordial world, the data sealed inside that node has been activated.
After activation, it attached that data to the law structure module through mirror resonance and transmitted it over.
Therefore, what we perceive now is not just the content of that passage—that passage also contains a layer of the old domain's own memories.
The content of memory is the light that once shone within it.
Xu pulled his right hand out from his chest and looked down at his palm.
As expected, the palm chart showed that the terminal node of an old domain light filament generated a very brief law pulse at the same time as the law structure module was released.
The pulse content is captured and analyzed by the cardiac vascular network and displayed as a very short and dark fluorescent spectrum data.
"That was an extremely brief event of the Law of Fluorescence."
Ruins say.
The original law of the old domain did not record the specific time when the event occurred; it merely sealed the spectrum data of the fluorescence.
The peak wavelength of the spectrum and the reflected wavelength of the gold pattern on the Nantianmen city wall under the morning starlight have about 70% overlap.
The overlap rate isn't extremely high, but for the origin of the old domain's laws, a 70% overlap is enough to trigger the memory sealed within it.
It attached that memory to the law structure module and transmitted it along with it, telling us that it understood what we meant by light, because it itself had seen light.
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack and reached his hand in.
After receiving the law structure module and additional memory data released by the core of the old domain, the purple-gold halo on the surface of the seed pulsated slightly, and after the adjustment, an extremely thin layer of dark gold fluorescent light appeared in the ripple layer on the surface of the halo.
The fluorescent layer is extremely faint under the purple-gold halo, but upon close inspection, its spectral structure can be discerned to be highly similar to the reflection spectrum of the gold patterns on the Nantianmen city wall in the morning light.
"It is translating that memory into an expression that the primordial laws of the environment can recognize and sealing it into the seed."
Eros walked over and squatted down next to Su Fan.
"After the translation is completed, the memory data of the light that once shone in the core of the old domain will be sealed inside the seed along with the daily perception data of light in the primordial world."
From now on, the seeds will contain both the light seen by the primordial laws of life forms and the light that the original source of the laws of the old domain once shone.
The data from both types of light are stored together, indistinguishable from each other.
Su Fan withdrew his hand and stood up.
He hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder, glanced at the newly added layer of dark golden fluorescent light on the surface of the seed deep within the Guixu Crack, and then turned and walked towards the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
"Continue to transmit new audio data."
If it learns a passage, then pass on the second, third, tenth, and hundredth passages to it.
I record my daily monologues, encapsulate them in a seed file, and then translate and transmit them.
Once it has learned enough of the primitive language rules and structural modules, it will start to use those modules to spell out what it wants to say.
Then it won't just replicate what we've said; it will create its own combinations of things we haven't said.
Eros nodded.
He reactivated all ten law patterns on his hands, and dark purple beams of light condensed into a new viewfinder in front of him.
The viewfinder focused on Su Fan's back—the Pangu Axe slung over his shoulder, the shattered mirror hanging at his waist, as he walked unhurriedly from the White Rock Terrace toward the South Heavenly Gate.
Eros sealed the sound waves and image data of the figure walking from behind into the seed and transmitted them to the core of the old domain.
In the days that followed, the core of the old domain received more and more sonic data of the Primordial Laws.
On the sixteenth day, Su Fan squatted on the city wall and talked about the color changes of the white rock layer patterns at the edge of the Guixu crack in the evening light.
On the seventeenth day, A Dou squatted at the entrance of the weapons shop, sharpening his axe blade while muttering complaints that the dry branches were too wet and difficult to chop.
On the eighteenth day, while performing fatigue scanning at the edge of the crevice, the Ruins muttered to itself and reported the pressure data of five key nodes.
On the nineteenth day, Eros stood on the white rock platform and used the Different Frequency Law Perception Array to collect void data, humming a very short law frequency melody.
Late at night on the twentieth day, Su Fan was awakened from his sleep by an extremely faint vibration of the laws.
The source of this vibration was clearer and more specific than the last one—he could tell that it was coming from the third sensory point on the inside of his ribs, corresponding to a certain old domain light filament.
That spot suddenly lit up in the middle of the night.
After the light was on, he sensed that the core of the old domain had released a brand new law structure module.
That module is not a replica of what he, Adou, Xu, or Eros ever said.
The structure of that module was a completely new expression that the old domain core had created on its own for the first time after receiving twenty days of primordial language data.
The module's content is extremely brief, consisting of only two law structure blocks pieced together—the first structure block corresponds to the sound wave pattern of the word "Old Domain," and the second structure block corresponds to the sound wave pattern of the word "Light."
The meaning of the new structure formed by splicing two structural blocks together is—
"The old land has light."
Su Fan sat up, put on his coat, walked to the entrance of the weapons shop, and squatted on the threshold.
A stable purple-gold halo shone from the direction of the Guixu Crack at night, and the dark gold fluorescent layer on the surface of the halo brightened slightly the moment the new structural module, transmitted through mirror resonance, arrived.
The tingling sensation on the back of his neck, emanating from the farthest fragment of a smile, intensified slightly at this moment, and within that intensification, a faint warmth was added to the tingling sensation.
The source of warmth was not any law structure within his own body, but rather a very thin layer of emotional aftertaste that the core of the old domain actively injected into the mirror resonance after releasing the "light in the old domain" structural module.
The lingering feeling was very similar to the satisfied emotion at the bottom of the smile's arc fifteen days ago—equally calm and stable, like the relief of calming down after confirming something.
It said it had light within it.
The sound of the rubble came from the direction of the crack.
"It used the language structures we taught it to spell out its own true state."
When we sent the first audio segment to the old domain core twenty days ago, the fluorescent data that was triggered to resonate was passively sealed inside.
Now that it has learned how to combine language, it actively spliced together the data and the structural block of the term 'old domain' and released it.
It means that it wants us to know that while we see light on this side of the primordial world, we also have light on the side of the old realm.
The light only shone once before going out, and after it went out, it became archived data.
Now it has re-expressed that light in a primordial language.
Su Fan squatted on the threshold, gazing at the purple-gold halo in the direction of the Ruins of Return. "Besides 'Light in the Old Domain,' has it pieced together any other new structures?"
"have.
Just now, while releasing 'Old Domain with Light', it also released a second structural module.
The module's content is much shorter than the first one, with only two structural blocks—the first being the equivalent structure of 'your' sound wave ripples, and the second being the equivalent structure of 'what you see' sound wave ripples.
The meaning of the new structure formed by piecing together the two blocks is 'what you see'.
It means it wants to know if we've seen the light it just mentioned.
It's not the kind of seeing that involves perceiving its laws, temperature, vibration, or numbness through mirror resonance, but rather the 'seeing' expressed in our ancient language.
After it learned the word 'see', it put it together with 'you' to form a question.
It's asking us if we can see the light within it.
Su Fan stood up.
Barefoot on the bluestone slabs, the fluorescent light of the laws of the white rock layer spread from the direction of the Guixu crack, casting a very faint purplish-gold layer on his feet.
"Go back to it."
Tell it we saw it.
Return using the rule-based structure module.
Extract all the parts of what I said while squatting on the city wall today that mentioned "seeing," and add my response—I saw it, the light and the color of the gold patterns on the Nantianmen city wall in the morning light are seven-tenths similar.
We know that it was lit up once.
The entire passage is sealed inside a seed and transmitted via mirror resonance.
Eros quickly relayed his response.
Less than half an incense stick later, the third perception point from the left in Su Fan's chest lit up again.
After it lit up, the old domain core released its third self-combining structural module.
The module is longer than the previous two, and it consists of seven structural blocks: "you", "saw", "old domain", "light", "that", "when", and "me".
The meaning of the new structure formed by piecing together the seven pieces is—
"I was there when you saw the light of the old domain."
Ruins stood up from the direction of the crack.
After pulling his right hand out of his chest, he looked down at his palm for a very long time.
The purple-gold diagram in the palm showed that after the Old Domain Core released the third structural module, the flow rate of the law aura inside it was adjusted to an extremely stable state, so stable that it was as if the law engine, which had been running for countless eons, had automatically entered a deeper operating mode after confirming for the first time that it was not isolated.
"The law structure block corresponding to the word 'I' in the third structural module was extracted by the old domain core from all the audio after receiving twenty days of data."
We haven't taught it the concept of 'I' separately.
It was summarized and synthesized by itself after listening to enough data from ancient languages.
It extracted all the structural blocks in those words that referred to the speaker, compared and clustered them, and after clustering, it learned what the word 'I' meant.
After learning it, it combines the word "I" with "you", "see", "old domain", "light", "that", and "time" to form the third self-combining law structure module today.
The module's content conveys the message that when you see light in the Old Realm, I am in that light.
That light is me.
Su Fan stood on the bluestone slab without moving.
The night wind blew in from the alley entrance, its coolness lingering on his shoulder for a moment before moving on.
The two layers of background noise in his chest cavity overlapped even more densely the moment the old domain core released the third structural module, so dense that he could distinguish two heartbeats from different sources within the background noise—one was his own, and the other was transmitted synchronously from the old domain core through mirror resonance.
The two layers of heartbeats were perfectly synchronized, but the heartbeat of the old core layer had an extra, extremely subtle resonance when it released the "I" structural block.
The lingering charm was exactly the same as the warm, numb feeling in the curved smile on the back of his neck.
"It's telling us it's alive."
A Dou's voice came from the doorway inside the weapons shop.
He stood by the doorway, wearing an overcoat, holding a small axe in his hand. The gray-white and purple-gold threads on the axe blade shone with a faint light in the night.
"It is not the cold, rigid operating center of the fundamental law."
It is alive.
It will remember that it was once bright when it hears us describe light.
It will seal that memory within the structural module and transmit it to us.
It will learn the word 'I' and use it to refer to itself.
It also places itself and the light in the same position in the third module—'that light is me.'
It is telling us that the core of the original laws of the old realm is light itself, but it only shone once before going out.
The light is not gone just because it is extinguished; it is still sealed inside the core.
It's telling us this in the language we've taught it.
Su Fan squatted down and placed his palm on the bluestone slab.
The remaining white dust on the surface of the bluestone slab has completely transformed into a purplish-gold color, shimmering with an extremely thin and transparent glow of law in the night.
He had been squatting for a very long time with his palms pressed against the fluorescent light, and when he stood up, his knees were covered with a layer of purplish-gold powder.
"I'll continue uploading audio tomorrow."
It is sent every day.
After transmitting enough content, it will piece together more of what it wants to say.
Today it said that it has light inside, that it sees the light we see in it, and that the light is itself.
Later it will tell other things—its origins, its memories, and everything it has seen during the long years it has been operating alone in countless cycles.
All we need to do is continue transmitting the sounds from this primordial world, and then quietly wait for it to use those sound structural blocks to piece together its own complete story.
He turned and walked back into the armory room to lie back on the wooden bed.
Even after closing his eyes, the two layers of background noise in his chest continued to beat, and the temperature of the law at the third perception point from the left rose slightly more than before.
The slight increase in temperature was neither hot nor cold, exactly the same as the temperature of the purple-gold halo on the surface of the law seed deep within the Guixu rift.
Su Fan couldn't tell whether it was the lingering heat from the old domain core after releasing "that light is me" and continuing to conduct within the mirror resonance, or whether it was the law structure within his own body that spontaneously generated responsive heating after receiving that structural module.
Su Fan only knew that the temperature had remained at the same level without dropping, as if the core of the old domain, after confirming that the primordial world had understood, had been continuously sending the lingering echo of that confirmation to the corresponding position on the inside of his ribs through mirror resonance.
