Chapter 432 Law.
The day when the gap was completely filled came quieter than Su Fan had expected.
There was no vibration, no burst of light, no ripples of law.
He was just squatting on the South Heavenly Gate city wall eating breakfast as usual, with his left palm facing up on his knee, when he suddenly felt the flow of law memories that had been flowing in the gap for a very long time stop.
The way it stops is not by getting stuck or interrupted, but by naturally reaching its end point—the front of the flow touches the edge of the gap, and at the moment of contact, the entire flow solidifies synchronously inside the gap.
The solidification process, from contact to completion, took less than the time it takes for one heartbeat.
Once solidified, the gap ceased to be a gap; it transformed into a complete, transparent layer of law-based memory.
Su Fan swallowed the steamed bun and turned his left hand over to look at it in the morning light.
The underlying structure of the line in the palm now has an additional transparent layer.
The texture was positioned between pure silver and silver-gray in the spectrum of his palm, with a thickness exactly equal to that of a pure silver layer, and the color was completely transparent.
But transparent does not mean invisible.
After focusing his attention on the level of law perception, he could see through that transparent layer what was sealed inside—extremely dense and fine law particles arranged from one end of the gap to the other, each particle sealing a specific interactive event.
From the furthest "Primordial Chaos, can you hear me?" to the closest interaction record of the pure silver layer being generated, all events are closely arranged in chronological order.
That transparent layer of memory was like an extremely long transparent film, engraved with all the exchanges between the Primordial World and the Old Domain from their first dialogue to the present.
"The memory layer has solidified."
The sound of the Ruins came from the direction of the Ruins Crack, carrying a very faint, gentle tone.
"At the moment of solidification, all six transparent memory layers simultaneously completed their final solidification."
The gap at the very bottom of the old domain core, the corresponding position inside the seed, and the gaps on the five of you—six places—all solidified simultaneously in the same heartbeat.
After solidification, the thickness of the transparent memory layer and the pure silver layer are exactly the same in every place.
All layers are arranged in the same structure with the same sequence of interactive events.
The sequence contents of the six memory layers are completely synchronized.
Even if all the connection channels between the Old Domain Core and the Primordial World are closed from now on, those six transparent memory layers have already sealed the entire history of interaction between the two sides from the first dialogue to the present.
History has been preserved in a permanent format, never to be lost or blurred.
Su Fan stood up, carried the Pangu Axe, and walked to the White Rock Terrace.
He stretched out his left hand for the people who had gathered around to see.
The transparent memory texture is extremely difficult to discern in the mixed light of the five colors, but when you move your finger under the shadow, you can see an extremely thin and transparent texture slowly emitting a very faint fluorescence.
The fluorescence was weaker than any other layer in his palm, but it was a gentle weakness, as if the light itself had chosen to exist quietly within that layer of memory.
A Dou held the small axe horizontally on his lap and examined it closely for a while. The transparent memory layer in the axe blade's halo was located one layer above the pure silver base, and its thickness was indeed exactly the same as the pure silver layer.
Eros looked down at his fingertips, the transparent memory layer quietly remaining in its fixed position between all the other layers.
"Will the contents and sequences sealed in the memory layer be continuously updated?" Su Fan asked.
"meeting.
But the update method is different from before.
Xu squatted at the edge of the crack, his right hand inserted into his chest for a very long time before he pulled it out, his fingertips glowing with a very faint transparent light.
"Before solidification, the memory stream continuously accepts new particles and adds them to the tail in a flowing manner."
After solidification, the memory stream becomes a fixed transparent layer, and new interactive events no longer flow in in the form of particles.
New interactive events will form a new, extremely thin layer of interactive recording overlay on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer—the interface immediately adjacent to the silver-gray layer.
The coating is extremely thin, and each new interaction results in an extremely small addition of the coating layer.
The coating does not penetrate into the solidified memory layer; it adheres to the outer surface of the memory layer and continues to grow.
When the coating thickness accumulates to the same thickness as the memory layer itself, the two transparent textures will merge into a thicker transparent memory layer.
The total thickness of the transparent layer will then be twice that of the pure silver layer.
New coatings will continue to be applied afterwards.
The transparent layer will continue to thicken slowly by layering over the other layers.
The rate at which the thickness increases is directly related to the frequency of new interactive events occurring between the ancient primordial domains.
The more interactions, the faster the overlay grows.
Su Fan clasped his left hand together and then opened it again, feeling the extremely thin coating that had just begun to grow on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer.
The coating is extremely new and thin, so thin that the sensory level can barely detect its presence but cannot read any content within it.
However, its temperature is completely consistent with the temperature of the laws transmitted synchronously from the core of the old domain, as if the overlay automatically connected to the synchronous heartbeat frequency between the old domain and the primordial world when it was first generated.
"What is currently sealed inside the overlay?"
"It contains the interaction records generated at the very moment the memory layer solidified."
Ruins say.
"When the solidification was complete, a very brief confirmation synchronization pulse was generated between the core of the old domain and the six locations on the primordial side."
The content of the pulse is not text, not images, not melody; it is simply an extremely short confirmation signal of a law.
In ancient language, the meaning of "signal" corresponds to "all in place".
The signal was captured and sealed by the outer surface of the transparent memory layer in less than the time it takes for a heartbeat to complete the solidification.
The capture process occurs automatically.
After sensing a new interactive event, the outer surface of the transparent layer will automatically generate a new overlay to accommodate it.
No manual operation is required.
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack and reached his hand in to touch the five-colored halo on the surface of the seed.
Beneath the dark gold fluorescent layer on the seed's surface, there is now an additional transparent memory layer.
The layer is located above the pure silver layer and below the silver-gray forecast line.
The four engraved smiling arcs, golden patterns, melody codes, and silver-gray forecast lines now have an additional transparent underlay beneath the silver-gray.
All the engravings are superimposed on the transparent memory layer.
When he touches the halo, he can perceive the entire sequence of interactive events sealed within that transparent memory layer, even through the halo.
The sequence contains a large number of interaction events from the furthest end to the nearest end.
The sequence is so large that it cannot be read in a short time, but it can be perceived that each particle is precisely arranged in its proper position, with no particle misplaced or missing.
Su Fan withdrew his hand and stood up.
He stood on the edge of the white rock plateau, watching the five-colored halos on the surface of the seeds shine steadily in the morning light.
Beneath that halo, there are now seven different layers of law-based textures stacked together—from the most basic primordial law structure to a pure silver base to transparent memory to silver-gray forecast lines to melody encoding to golden patterns to smiling arcs.
After the seven layers are stacked together, the light on the seed surface has an additional layer of extremely thin and transparent brightness variation on top of the five-color mixture.
The changes were barely noticeable, but after squatting down and staring at it for a while, A Dou said, "The light in the seed is a little bit deeper than yesterday."
He turned and walked towards the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
When he reached the foot of the city wall, he turned his left hand over and looked at it.
The number of spectral layers in his palm also changed to seven.
From the bottom layer to the top layer, they are: Primal Law Texture, Pure Silver Base, Transparent Memory Layer, Silver-Gray Data Layer, Five-Color Mixed Layer, Silver-White Original Temperature Sensing Layer, and Purple-Gold Initial Scratching Layer.
After the seven layers were stacked together, the entire line took on a completely new color in the light that he had never seen before.
That color cannot be described in words, nor can it be matched with existing color names.
It's too new.
The newly arrived primordial law-based life form has never seen that color of law light on any vessel since its birth.
He squatted back down by the edge of the battlement, placed his left palm up on his knee, and quietly watched the new seven-layered color.
The new color shone with a steady light in the morning light, a light that was softer than any of the previous layers.
It was a gentle light, like the kind that shines out naturally after everything has grown to its rightful place.
"Does the new color need a name?" A Dou walked over from the city wall and squatted down beside him.
Su Fan remained silent for a while.
"unnecessary.
It will grow into its own name.
Once it has grown long enough, its name will automatically appear.
He continued to squat quietly by the edge of the battlement, watching the new seven-layered color in his palm shine in the morning light.
The gaps have been filled.
The memory layer has solidified.
All seven floors are in place.
From now on, everything is in its proper place.
All that's left is to keep operating, keep coexisting, and keep breathing.
The new color will gradually develop its own name as it continues to operate.
When the new color had grown for forty-nine days, Su Fan noticed something that had never happened before.
He squatted on the city wall, finished his breakfast, and turned his left hand over to look at it. The new seven-layered color was still shining steadily, without any change.
But when he shifted his attention from his palm to the direction of the seed, he discovered something new in the halo layer on the surface of the seed deep within the Guixu Crack—in that fixed position beneath the transparent memory layer and on top of the pure silver base, where there was originally only a very thin layer of transparent material quietly resting, now an extremely fine law pattern appeared inside that transparent material.
The texture is located at the far end of the interactive event sequence, right next to the particle that records the "all in place" confirmation signal.
The lines are extremely fine and short, so short that they are only the length of a single heartbeat.
But he saw clearly what it was.
It was a compressed form of a sound wave.
The shape of the ripples was unlike anything he had ever seen in any data transmitted from the old domain core.
It is not the outline of the primordial tone, not the frequency encoding of the self-generated melody of the old domain core, and not the equivalent structure of the sound wave ripples of any person's words.
It was a completely unfamiliar sound wave pattern—so unfamiliar that Su Fan spent a long time trying to discern that its undulations carried a very faint rhythmic pattern.
Xu had sensed the presence of the pattern in the early morning of the same day that Su Fan noticed it.
He crouched at the edge of the crevice, his right hand pressed against his chest, sensing for a very long time before finally pulling it out. His fingertips glowed with a transparent luminescence brighter than ever before.
"That pattern was released from the second node that completed the initial assembly of the reverberation among the twelve activated nodes inside the core of the old domain."
The repair progress of the second node suddenly accelerated after the transparent memory layer solidified.
The acceleration was greater than at any previous point.
The reverberant fragments within it, under the catalytic effect of the additional laws brought about by the solidification of the memory layer, completed the final stage of piecing together in an extremely short time.
After the splicing was completed, it released a reverberant pulse of similar length to the first node but with different content.
After the pulse content is received by the old domain core, it is synchronously transmitted to the outer surface of the transparent memory layer at six locations through mirror resonance.
The overlay generated a new pattern of laws the instant the pulse content was captured.
The pattern is the compressed form of that sound wave ripple.
Su Fan stood up, carried the Pangu Axe, walked to the White Rock Terrace, and squatted at the edge of the crack.
When he reached out and touched the halo on the seed's surface, he could perceive through that halo the contents sealed within the newly formed pattern on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer.
The content is extremely brief, a lingering emotional resonance of a law that has not been translated.
Unlike the surprise contained in the reverberating pulse released by the first node, the lingering emotion contained in this second pulse is confusion.
"Puzzled."
Su Fan held the word in his mouth for a while.
"After the second Old Domain life form was embedded with golden data in its last moments before dissipating, its first reaction was not surprise, but confusion."
It was puzzled as to why it had seen a light it had never seen before.
In its final frame before dissipating, it took longer than the first node to discern the origin of the golden light.
Xu squatted on the other side of the crack and nodded.
"In the scene released after the fragments of the second node's echo were pieced together, the old domain life form stood in the void looking in the direction where the golden light appeared."
It didn't turn its head to look; it faced the light head-on.
It stood there motionless, staring at the golden light for a very long time.
The length of the reverberation pulse was nearly twice that of the first node.
In its final moments before dissipating, all its attention was focused on the source of the light.
It wanted to figure out where the light came from.
It was unaware of the existence of the primordial world, unaware of anything behind the membrane. In its final moments before dissipating, it saw a strange light, and then spent all its remaining time observing it, trying to understand what it was.
Su Fan withdrew his fingers from the surface of the seed.
He looked down at the new seven-layered color in his palm, which shone steadily in the morning light.
The new texture on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer is slowly emitting a very faint fluorescent light.
The glow was closer to the transparent background of the memory layer than any other layer in his palm, but upon closer inspection, one could see a very thin layer of lingering confusion flowing within the lines.
The lingering emotional resonance flowed extremely slowly, so slowly that it only moved forward a very short distance after each heartbeat.
The movement was a slow, gradual progression from one end of the pattern to the other—like an ancient life form that had dissipated countless eons, still maintaining the inertia of staring at the golden light even after it had vanished.
It is watching.
I've been watching it.
"After the second node's sealed remnant was repaired, the repair speed of the remaining five of the twelve activated nodes within the old domain core also changed synchronously."
After sensing the internal state, Xu put his right hand back to his chest and then pulled it out again. A faint lingering sense of confusion appeared in the transparent glow at his fingertips.
The direction of change is accelerating.
After receiving the law-catalyzing effect of the second reverberation pulse, the five nodes repaired themselves about 30% faster than before.
Based on this new speed, the most recent of the remaining five nodes will complete the initial assembly in about twenty days.
The pulse content it releases will also be the first reaction it produces after being embedded with golden light data.
The first reaction of each sealed-off ancient life form upon seeing that unfamiliar golden light might be different.
Some will be surprised, some will be confused, some may remain silent, and some may turn away.
The old domain core originally embedded the same golden light data in those twelve nodes, but the way the remnant fragments of each node came into contact with the golden light data during the repair process was different.
Different contact angles, different contact depths, and different contact times.
These differences result in varying emotional aftertastes sealed within the reverberant pulses ultimately released at each node.
The twelve nodes may trigger twelve different emotional responses.
The core of the Old Domain, through those twelve nodes, allowed the Primordial World to see twelve different reactions of the life forms that once existed within the Old Domain when faced with unfamiliar light.
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack and listened quietly.
As the wind surged up from the depths of the Ruins of Return, the luminous light of law within the perplexing pattern on his palm shifted slightly with the direction of the wind before returning to its original position.
As he shifted slightly, he felt the tingling sensation on the back of his neck, emanating from the farthest fragment's smiling arc, intensify briefly.
In that instant of heightened intensity, he sensed the same intense focus the second ancient life form had when it stared intently at the golden light before dissipating—the kind of concentration that lays all its attention on one thing until it vanishes.
The sensation lingered in the numbness for less than a heartbeat before receding, but the texture of that numbness was different after it returned.
It had an extra, very faint warmth that emanated from the bewildered yet focused state of mind.
"Will the emotional aftereffects of the reverberation pulse released by the second node also be sealed away for a long time?" Su Fan asked.
"meeting."
Ruins say.
"When capturing pulse content, the outer surface of the transparent memory layer automatically etches the complete law frequency data into the structure of the outer layer.
The lingering sense of confusion, the visual content of the pulse, and the equivalent echo of the golden data are all sealed within the same pattern.
The texture will become the first permanent mark on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer.
Adjacent to it is the last particle inside the memory layer that confirms the 'all records are in place' signal.
There is an extremely thin, transparent gap between the two engravings.
The thickness of the gap will be filled by a new coating in the future.
As new interactive events continue to occur and new overlays continue to be added, that perplexing pattern will be buried inside the transparent memory layer and become part of history.
But it won't be lost.
It will remain in a fixed position within the transparent memory layer, sealed away along with the first batch of particles.
Su Fan stood up and hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder.
He walked to the edge of the White Rock Terrace and stood there, turning his left hand up to face the midday sun.
In the seven layers of new color on the palm, the confusing patterns on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer are almost invisible in the midday light.
But he could sense it.
It remained quietly within that extremely thin covering, slowly releasing a faint lingering sense of bewilderment.
The lingering sensation passed through the silver-gray data layer, the five-color mixed layer, the silver-white original temperature sensing layer, and the purple-gold initial engraving layer, before reaching the law perception network on the surface of his palm and transforming into a deeper numbness on the back of his neck than before.
The numbness was enveloped in a layer of focused warmth.
He turned and walked towards the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
When you reach the base of the city wall, stop and place your left hand on the brick.
The perplexing line on his palm spread a very short distance across the entire city wall through the network of laws governing the golden patterns on the city wall.
The spread reached the interior of the brickwork directly below the crenellation where Su Fan usually squatted to eat breakfast.
The law patterns inside the city bricks lit up slightly after receiving the equivalent signal from the perplexing pattern.
After it lit up, it returned to its original state.
However, the internal patterns of the restored city bricks have an extra, very faint trace of unfamiliar emotion.
"Confusion leaves a mark on the city walls."
Su Fan pulled his hand away from the city brick and looked at the lines on his palm.
The confusion of the second Old Domain life form staring at the golden light was forever etched on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer, and an equivalent sample was also etched inside the brick of the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
From now on, every time I squat by that crenellation to eat breakfast, a perplexing pattern will quietly remain inside the brick behind my head.
After the perplexing pattern remained in the city brick for three days, on the morning of the fourth day, when Su Fan was squatting by the crenellation eating breakfast, he suddenly felt that the surface of the city brick against the back of his head was a little warmer than usual.
It was so high that he almost thought it was the morning light warming the brick surface.
But he moved the back of his head away and then put it back on to compare, confirming that the temperature change did indeed come from the continuous heat dissipation of the confusing texture inside the brick.
After three days inside the city brick, the texture adjusted its own temperature according to its own laws—from initially perfectly matching the temperature difference of the brick to being half a degree higher than the temperature difference of the brick.
The increase of half a degree is so small as to be almost immeasurable, but it is indeed changing.
"The perplexing texture subtly adjusts the operating temperature within the city bricks."
The sound of the Void came from the direction of the Void Crevice, and it carried a completely new tone. It was the first time Su Fan had heard the Void speak in this tone, like the quiet surprise of seeing leaves growing out of a stone.
"After the texture was embedded in the internal law network of the city brick, it took three days to adapt to the law structure of the brick."
After adapting, it raised its own temperature by half a degree.
The reason for raising the height is to ensure that the traces of its existence remain more stably attached to the network of laws governing the city bricks.
A temperature difference of half a degree can cause a very slight, continuous convection at the regular contact surface between the texture and the brick.
Convection maintains the regularity of the texture without diminishing its activity.
That perplexing pattern learned to sustain itself within the city bricks.
Su Fan swallowed the last bite of steamed bun, then turned his left hand over to look at the new seven-layered color on his palm.
The confusing patterns on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer also underwent similar changes over three days.
The temperature of the patterns themselves was also slightly higher than it had been three days ago.
The increase was exactly the same as the temperature increase of the equivalent sample in the city brick—half a degree.
The confused textures in both positions adjusted their own law temperature in sync with the same magnitude.
"It learned to maintain itself simultaneously in all positions."
Eros walked from the white rock plateau to the city wall and stood there, his hands bearing ten law patterns that shone with a five-colored mixture of light and a transparent memory layer in the morning light.
"The confusion patterns on Su Fan's palm, the equivalent samples of confusion in the city bricks, the original confusion patterns in the seed halo, the confusion records corresponding to the lowest level of the old domain core, the confusion distribution in A Dou's axe blade, and the confusion mirror image in the Ruins Atlas—the confusion textures in these six locations all completed their own temperature fine-tuning at the same time."
The adjustments were made at exactly the same rate.
The fine-tuning approach shifts from passive embedding to active maintenance.
The perplexing pattern simultaneously learned to maintain its existence in six places.
Su Fan stood up and stretched out his left palm toward the morning light.
The perplexing pattern glowed with a faint, luminous light of law within the transparent layer beneath the seven layers of overlapping new colors.
The fluorescence is more stable than before.
After three days of self-temperature adjustment, the light in the pattern no longer flickered as slightly as before.
It simply remained consistently lit—both brightness and temperature were locked at the adjusted levels, without shifting.
"After those twelve old domain life forms dissipate, their final emotional reactions will be released one after another from the Echo Node."
Each release creates a new texture on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer.
Each new pattern, once embedded, will adapt and stabilize on its own, just like a confused pattern.
Once all twelve patterns are in place, a ring of law patterns composed of the emotional reactions of the old domain life forms will form on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer.
Each line on the ring encapsulates the first reaction of a vanished ancient life form upon seeing the unfamiliar golden light.
Twelve different emotions are arranged side by side on the outer surface of the transparent memory layer.
They will remain lit at their adjusted temperatures, waiting to be seen by those who come later.
