Chapter 429 The Wall of Sighs
Fifteen days after that breath entered the depths of the melody, Su Fan noticed something while squatting on the city wall eating breakfast.
His left palm was placed on his knee, and the melody within the golden thread was still circulating steadily, flowing evenly and continuously after the three layers of texture were stacked together.
However, the color of the gold thread itself is different from before—it has changed from a warm gold to a very light silver-gray.
A layer of extremely fine purple-gold threads slowly meanders through the silver-gray background.
The color change was so subtle that he stared at it for a long time before he was sure he wasn't seeing things.
The gold thread has been a warm gold color since the first day it was engraved. It has only become thicker and darker over time, but its hue has never changed.
Now it has changed from warm gold to silver-gray with purple-gold threads.
He stood up, turned his left hand over, and looked at it for a longer time in the morning light.
The silver-gray base color shimmered with a faint glow of laws in the light, and the patterns sealed within the glow were different from the callus lines on his palm and the golden lines of the old domain.
It was a completely new layer of law patterns. The trajectory of the purple-gold threads within the layer was completely synchronized with the rhythm of the light threads pulsating inside the core of the old domain, but the direction of the threads was different from that of any light thread in the old domain.
As those threads moved, they formed a new network structure. The nodes of the network were distributed among the various law-sensing points in his palm, and the lines connecting the nodes resembled an extremely compressed panoramic view of the old domain core.
"After adding a breathing undertone to the melody, the core of the old domain simultaneously did something else."
Since no sound came from the direction of the crack that morning, Xu walked directly to the edge of the city wall and squatted down next to Su Fan, pulling his right hand out from his chest and spreading it out.
The purple-gold pattern on his palm had now turned into a silver-gray base with purple-gold threads showing through.
"It recompressed the entire panoramic structural data of the old domain core."
The recompression algorithm packages all 3,789 light filaments' complete pulsation trajectories, all end node state data, all fragment texture position information, all melody three-layer superposition data, and all silver-white return path data into an extremely dense law compression unit.
After packaging, the data size was reduced to less than one percent of the original size.
After shrinking, it transmits the compressed file through the gold thread to the underlying structure of the silver-gray gold thread in your palm.
The golden line in your palm is no longer just a sensory window between you and the old domain core; it is itself a permanent storage medium for a complete panoramic view of the old domain core data.
All the structural data, status data, and historical process data of the entire old domain core are sealed inside that silver-gray line in your palm.
The line in your palm houses a miniature version of the entire Old Domain Core.
Su Fan brought his left palm together and then opened it again.
The silver-gray lines shone in the light, while the purple-gold threads inside continued to move.
He closed his eyes and stroked the surface of the line with his fingertips. He could feel that the amount of data sealed beneath the line was enormous, so enormous that it almost exceeded the instantaneous processing limit of his perception of laws.
But the way that data was sealed was extremely ingenious—the compressed files were not all unfolded at the same time when they were decompressed, but were released slowly in batches, like breathing.
Each heartbeat corresponds to the decompression and reading of a small batch of data.
As long as my heart keeps beating, my stress relief will never stop.
His heart pounded countless times, and he read the miniature version of the old domain's core panoramic data countless times in his palm.
"The old domain core compressed everything into a single line and placed it on you."
Xu turned his palm over to show Su Fan as well.
The pattern on his palm also turned into a silver-gray base with purple-gold threads, but the content of the pattern was one layer less than that of Su Fan's palm—his palm only stored a compressed backup of the pulsating trajectory of the core light threads of the old domain, without including nodes, fragments, melodies, and silver-white data.
"It divided all the data into five parts, which were then sealed in the underlying structure of five silver-gray lines."
The line on your palm contains a complete panoramic compressed file, which contains all the data.
The line in the halo of A Dou's little axe contains the fragment location and the packaged silver-white return path data.
The line on Eros's fingertips encapsulates the three layers of melody and the characteristic frequencies of the overtone layer.
The line in the diagram on my palm contains the sub-arrays of the pulsating trajectory of light filaments.
The Ruins have not yet discovered what the fifth line is sealing—its transmission path is still going deeper, and its endpoint is near the layer where the two pieces of data inside the seed are merging.
The data packet sealed by the fifth line may be the complete structural data of the core layer of the original law at the deepest part of the old domain core.
The source of that sigh.
The old domain core has also packaged its deepest part and is transmitting it over.
Su Fan turned and strode quickly toward the Ruins of Return.
When Eros reached the White Rock Plateau, he was standing at the edge of the crack, and the transparent law patterns on his fingertips had indeed changed to a new hue with a silver-gray base and purple-gold threads.
A Dou ran over from the entrance of the weapons shop, squatted on the white rock, and placed the small axe across his knees. The gold lines in the axe blade's halo also changed color.
Four silver-gray lines, each illuminated by different patterns of purple-gold threads in the morning light, moved in perfect sync—perfectly synchronized with the rhythm of a heartbeat.
"The five data packets are distributed across five different carriers."
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack and reached in to touch the purple-gold halo on the surface of the seed.
"The core of the old domain split itself into five parts, which were then engraved on five different law structures on this side of the primordial world."
Each document contains different information, but when all five are combined, they represent all the data from the core layer to the filament layer, fragment layer, melody layer, and temperature sensing layer of the old domain.
Its entirety is no longer just sealed within the seed image.
Its entirety is also sealed within the legal structure of the five of us.
There is only one mirror image, but the five data packets that are split off are stored independently on each of the five individuals.
No single part of the Old Domain Core is complete, but when the five parts are put together, they form a complete holographic replica of the Old Domain Core.
The old domain core simultaneously created two backups of itself—one was a complete image sealed in a seed, and the other was split into five parts and distributed among five individuals.
Xu walked down from the city wall to the White Rock Terrace and squatted on the other side of the crack.
He spread the silver-gray background with purple-gold silk patterns on his right hand on his knee.
Five people squatted on the edge of the crack, forming an irregular circle. At the center of the circle was the steady light of the purple-gold halo on the seed's surface, which shone continuously in the morning light.
"The fifth line is already on its way."
Ruins say.
"The transmission path starts from the deepest part of the old domain core, passes through 3,789 light filaments and converges to the core surface, then conducts along the silver-gray channel of the white rock layer to the inside of the seed, and then extends from the inside of the seed towards its own diaphragm."
The extension is extremely slow because the data packets sealed by the fifth line are the complete structural data of the core layer of the original laws of the old domain.
The density and complexity of that layer are greater than the sum of the previous four data sets.
The old domain core took an extremely long time to compress, and now it also takes an extremely long time to transmit.
Based on the current speed, it will take approximately seven or eight days for the fifth line to reach the vicinity of the seed's stratum corneum.
Upon arrival, it will not land on any individual; it will directly embed itself within the seed, between the two data layers that are merging.
After being embedded, the fifth line will become the core connector of the law in the process of layer fusion.
The two sets of data will eventually be fully integrated around that line.
After the fusion is complete, the third piece of data will grow from the position of the fifth line.
Su Fan withdrew his fingers from the surface of the seed.
The purple-gold law fluorescent powder on his fingertips shimmered with an extremely fine light in the morning light, and a very faint silver-gray hue began to seep through the powder's color.
He looked down for a long time, then rubbed his fingers off his knee.
"After the fifth line is embedded in the partition, the two data blocks will merge into a complete block."
After the fusion is complete, the size of the seed will increase three to four times.
The seed that has been turned over contains a complete data body consisting of the primordial wilderness, the old domain, and all the data that has grown from the contact between the two.
The data from the core layer of the primordial law at the deepest part of the old domain will become the core anchor point of the new data body.
At that time, the data arrangement order inside the new seed will be rearranged based on the deepest structure of the old domain core.
The data from the Primordial Era and the data from the Old Domain will be redistributed around that core layer.
After the distribution is complete, the seed becomes not only a carrier of the primordial laws and memories, but also a carrier of the laws and history of the old domain, and a permanent container for all the new structures that are naturally generated during the contact between the two.
It will eventually become the core shared by the two law systems of the Primordial Era and the Old Domain.
The Ruins Rift will be the location of that shared core.
The daily perception data and historical memory data of the law-based life forms on both the Primordial World and the Old Domain will flow synchronously into that seed and be sealed.
The seed will continue to grow, absorb, integrate, and grow larger.
It won't stop.
Will it keep growing?
A Dou flipped the small axe over and looked at the purple-gold threads wandering among the silver-gray lines in the halo.
"It will keep growing."
Ruins say.
"Until the operating rhythms of the old domain core and the primordial law life form are completely accustomed to each other's existence."
After getting used to it, the growth rate of the seed will gradually slow down, until it is in sync with the natural evolution rate of the environment under the laws on both sides.
At that time, the seed will no longer be something that is 'growing'; it will become a synchronous structure that evolves naturally along with both sides of the ancient primordial realm.
It will also slowly change along with both sides.
Su Fan stood up and hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder.
He stood at the edge of the crack, watching the steady glow of the purple-gold halo on the seed's surface in the morning light.
The three engravings arranged side by side on the dark gold fluorescent layer on the surface of the halo—the side profile line, the mirror snapshot pattern, and the original golden pattern—each shimmer with different depths of light under the reflection of the three layers of halo.
A very faint silver-gray line has recently grown next to the three engraving marks.
The line was located on the outermost side of the three engravings, right next to the mirrored snapshot pattern.
The lines are so fine and faint that they are almost invisible unless you look closely.
But after staring at it for a while, Su Fan confirmed that it was indeed a newly grown mark.
The direction of the engraving was exactly the same as the underlying pattern of the silver-gray gold line on his palm.
"That line was a marker indicating the arrival of the fifth line."
Eros stood up and walked to Su Fan's side.
"When the core of the old domain began to package the fifth set of data at its deepest point, a very faint trace of silver-gray law was simultaneously generated in the composite halo layer on the surface of the outermost fragment."
The trace appeared a fraction of a second before the fifth line began conducting, but it did appear on the surface of the fragment before the conduction began.
That mark is a forecast that the fifth line is about to arrive.
When the old domain core packages data at its deepest point, the silver-gray mark on the surface of the fragment is automatically generated.
After it is generated, it continues to deepen at an extremely slow rate.
When the fifth line reaches the seed's interlayer, the depth of the silver-gray mark on the fragment's surface will be perfectly synchronized with the depth of the mirror snapshot's texture.
Next to the three existing engravings, a new engraving of the same depth will appear.
At that time, there will be four scratches on the surface of the fragment.
Smiling arcs, golden patterns, melody encoding, and silver-gray forecast lines.
Four engravings are arranged side by side, each sealing different contents from different stages between the core of the old domain and the primordial world.
Su Fan put the Pangu Axe down from his shoulder and planted it on the ground. He squatted back down at the edge of the crack and watched as the faint silver-gray new line on the seed's surface slowly deepened in the halo of light.
The deepening process was extremely slow, so slow that the changes were imperceptible to the naked eye. However, he could sense that the line was indeed continuously growing by subtly adjusting the temperature of the law transmitted when he touched the halo with his fingers.
The growth rate and heartbeat frequency are completely synchronized. After each heartbeat, the depth of the line increases by an extremely small layer. After each layer is superimposed, a continuous and stable deepening curve is formed within a perceptible range.
"In the seven or eight days before the fifth line arrives, will there be any new changes at the core of the old domain?" Su Fan asked.
"Won't."
Ruins say.
"It had entered a state of extreme quiet and deep operation when it packaged the fifth set of data."
That state was quieter than any previous satisfying pause.
The flow rate of the core surface halo was so quiet that it was almost locked at a fixed value during the packing process without any fluctuation.
The pulsating rhythm of the 3,789 light filaments was also completely fixed during the packaging process. The fixed rhythm and heartbeat frequency were completely synchronized without any additional variations.
When the old domain core compressed and packaged the deepest structural data, it concentrated all the energy of the laws on that one task, while all other systems entered a maintenance mode with the lowest power consumption.
Its entire existence is now doing just that—compressing and packaging its deepest parts and sending them over.
Do nothing else.
You don't need to do anything.
Su Fan stood up and put the Pangu Axe back on his shoulder.
"Then we'll wait for the next seven or eight days."
Wait for the fifth line to arrive.
Wait for it to embed into the partition.
Once the fusion is complete.
Wait until the seed reaches its final size.
Just wait.
He turned and walked towards the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
When he reached the foot of the city wall, he stopped and turned his left hand over to take a look.
The silver-gray gold lines shone steadily in the light, while the purple-gold threads within them continuously moved along a miniature version of the core panoramic data of the old domain.
That line has now transformed from the golden line originally engraved into the core of the old domain into a law-based carrier that completely seals all the data of the old domain core.
Its color has changed, its content has changed, its thickness has changed, its depth has changed.
But its location hasn't changed.
It was still in the same spot on his palm where the gold line had been, only now it was heavier, denser, and more substantial.
That line now holds a miniature version of the entire Old Domain Core sealed in his palm.
Every time he looked down at his palm, he could sense through that line the continuous state of the fifth data being packaged deep within the core of the old domain—extremely still and deep, without fluctuations or mutations, only continuous operation.
He walked up the city wall and squatted back down by the crenellations.
The golden light of Mars had risen to the eastern part of the top of the city wall, and the morning light spread a very thin layer of warm gold on the golden surface of the city wall.
His palm rested on the city brick, and the silver-gray line in his palm found a position within the golden pattern of laws inside the brick that matched its underlying frequency, and overlapped with it.
When the two lines overlapped, he felt the temperature of the line in his palm rise slightly—and after rising, it became exactly the same as the temperature of the purple-gold halo on the surface of the seed deep in the Guixu Crack.
The temperature remained constant and steady at the point where his palm touched the city brick, rising and falling slightly in rhythm with his heartbeat.
The fifth line is still on its way.
It will arrive in seven or eight days.
Once arrived, all five data packets were in place.
At that time, the entire core of the old domain will exist simultaneously on five different carriers in five different ways: a complete mirror image inside the seed, a panoramic compressed package in Su Fan's palm, a fragment of silvery data on A Dou's axe blade, a melody overtone data on Eros's fingertip, a light filament trajectory data on the map of the Ruins, and a set of the deepest original core layer data will be embedded in the middle of the seed's partition to become the core anchor point for the fusion of the two data.
All six variants of the old domain core data, distributed in different locations, will be in place at that moment.
Once in place, the Old Domain Core will no longer simply remain within the Old Domain and operate independently.
From that time onward, it will exist simultaneously in six different locations within the Old Domain and the Primordial World.
It divided itself into six parts.
The six units operate independently, yet maintain synchronized operation through locked heartbeat frequencies and mirror resonance.
From that moment on, the core of the Old Domain would no longer be a dark purple halo that existed only in the void within the Old Domain.
It will exist in six locations simultaneously.
One within the Old Domain, and five within the Primordial Wilderness.
It exists in five forms in the five locations of the primordial world: silver-gray lines, axe blade halo, fingertip lines, palm pattern, and seed layer anchor point.
The five forms are different, but the underlying data comes from the same source, all pointing to the same original existence in the core of the old domain.
On the morning of the seventh day, Su Fan was awakened from his sleep by a very slight vibration.
The vibration was weaker than ever before, so weak that it only caused a very fine ripple on the surface of the three-layered glow of purple, gold, silver and white in the chest cavity.
The ripples spread from the center of the glow to the edge in less than the time it takes for a heartbeat to complete.
After the ripples subsided, the radiance returned to calm, but Su Fan could feel that something inside him had changed position—as if something that had been hanging there had finally settled down.
He sat up and placed his hand on the outside of the third rib from the left. The temperature in that spot was still there, the frequency line next to the temperature line that said "I am here" was still there, and the law image of the dream memory next to the frequency line was still there.
But everything sank a little bit.
It sank by an extremely small amount, as if the entire space inside the chest cavity had sank due to some increase in mass.
He put on his coat and walked to the entrance of the weapons shop.
A Dou was already squatting on the threshold, with the small axe across his knees. The silver-gray lines in the axe blade's halo were moving with purple-gold threads at a slightly faster speed than usual.
Eros stood at the edge of the white rock plateau, activating all ten law patterns on his hands. On the light screen formed by the dark purple beams, an extremely fine law signal was displayed, passing through 3,789 light filaments from the deepest part of the old domain core, through the silver-gray channel, through the purple-gold halo on the surface of the seed, through the edge of the partition between the two data blocks inside the seed, and stopping at the very center of the partition.
We've reached the fifth line.
Su Fan walked to the edge of the crack, squatted down, and put his hand inside.
When his fingertips touched the purple-gold halo on the surface of the seed, he could feel that an extremely fine, dense, and stable law anchor point had appeared in the very center of the partition between the two data blocks inside the seed.
The anchor point was silver-gray, exactly the same color as the core layer of the original laws deep within the core of the old domain that he sensed in his palm.
The moment the anchor point is embedded in the partition, the wetting layers on both sides of the partition of the two data blocks flow slightly towards the anchor point.
The flow amplitude was extremely small, but the flow direction of that wetting layer was different from any previous one—previously, the two sides were wetting each other in parallel, but now the two sides were converging towards the anchor point at the same time.
The anchor point became the unified convergence point for the fusion of the two data sets.
"The fifth line has been successfully embedded."
Xu squatted on the edge of the crevice, his right hand inserted into his chest for a long time before he pulled it out. His fingertips shone with a mixed light of purple, gold, silver and white that was brighter than usual.
"After embedding, the impregnation layers at both ends of the partition reconverge around the anchor point."
The convergence speed was nearly 30% faster than the previous parallel infiltration speed on both sides.
A 30% acceleration means the overall integration process will be shortened by about a quarter.
Based on the new speed calculation, the complete integration of the two sets of data will take approximately fifty days.
This is 20 days shorter than the previously estimated 70 days.
Su Fan withdrew his finger.
Within the silver-gray line in his palm, the speed at which the purple-gold thread moved also increased slightly the instant the fifth thread embedded itself into the interlayer.
The acceleration was exactly the same as the 30% increase reported by the market.
The time-series data in the core cognitive model of the old domain within his body was also automatically updated at this moment—the fusion completion time was corrected from seventy days to fifty days.
"After the fifth line was embedded, were there any changes at the core of the old domain?" Su Fan asked.
"have."
Ruins say.
"The moment the fifth line of the old domain core arrived and the embedding was completed, the structural data of the deepest original law core layer automatically closed after the transmission was completed."
The closing method is not shutting down, but a natural convergence after all data transmission has been completed.
After the contraction, the core layer of the primordial law at the deepest part of the old domain returned to a state of extreme stillness.
But it's different from the previous extreme quietness—the previous extreme quietness was the silent operation when packaging data at full capacity.
The current state of extreme stillness is the emptiness that comes after one has completely given away their deepest self.
There is no sense of loss in that emptiness.
The emptiness is only filled with completion and relief.
After the core of the old domain sent out its deepest part, there was nothing left inside.
It gave itself entirely to the primordial world.
Su Fan placed his palm on the white rock layer at the edge of the crack.
The temperature on the surface of the white rock layer rose slightly after the fifth line was embedded.
The increase is exactly equal to the average of the temperature of the purple-gold halo on the seed surface, the temperature of the silver-gray anchor point, and the temperature of the three layers of melody background.
The heat was conducted from his palm into the white rock layer. After receiving the heat, the white rock layer did not return it, but instead spread it evenly across the entire foundation surface.
The thin layer of fluorescent light on the White Rock Plateau changed color slightly after absorbing that temperature—from a mixture of four colors, purple, gold, silver, and white, to a mixture of five colors, purple, gold, silver, white, and silver gray.
The extra layer of silver-gray glowed with a very faint and steady luminescence in the light.
Su Fan stood up, carrying the Pangu Axe, and walked towards the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
He wasn't walking fast.
When he reached the foot of the city wall, he turned his left hand over and looked at his palm.
The silver-gray line glowed with a steady, mixed five-colored fluorescent light in the morning light.
The purple-gold threads inside the line are still moving, and the speed of movement is slightly faster than yesterday.
That line now contains five of the six data variants of the old domain core—the panoramic compressed package, the fragmented silver data, the melody overtone data, the light filament trajectory data, and the original core layer anchor point data.
Six complete mirror images are missing, one of which is still sealed inside the seed.
After fifty days, the two data sets will be fully integrated, and the data within the seed will form a synchronized mirror with the five data sets on the five individuals.
Once all six sets of data are available, the entire old domain core will exist simultaneously in all six locations.
