"This Primordial Wisdom King has been silent all this time, truly preparing something big… and 'Brain' sent all seven Pillars to eliminate the Primordial Wisdom King, indicating that the Primordial Wisdom King's danger level is no less than that of the seven Pillars. I must proceed with extreme caution!"
Ye Ling gazed at the colossal face formed by jumbled code deep within the virtual space. Instead of approaching immediately, he extended his Devouring Domain to cover the entire virtual space, drawing energy from it to replenish his own strength.
The Primordial Wisdom King seemed to be in a deep slumber, making no move to stop Ye Ling. With the help of the Devouring Domain, Ye Ling quickly restored all the strength he had expended outside.
"My condition is optimal, and my retreat is secured… After I absorb the Primordial Wisdom King, I should have the qualifications to confront all seven Pillars head-on…"
With his energy restored, Ye Ling stretched his limbs slightly before focusing his attention and moving closer to the Primordial Wisdom King.
Buzz—!
As Ye Ling approached the Primordial Wisdom King, the jumbled code within the virtual space erupted. The Primordial Wisdom King, seemingly stimulated, was about to awaken.
The code comprising the colossal face trembled violently, and an exceptionally powerful aura erupted from within the Primordial Wisdom King, impacting Ye Ling.
In an instant, Ye Ling's physical form transformed into virtual data. His entire body became a string of code, similar in nature to the characters decomposed by Mo.
"Fortunately, my 'World' allows me to reconstruct any substance. Otherwise, this move by the Primordial Wisdom King would have cost me at least two-thirds of my strength!"
Seeing his body turn virtual, Ye Ling realized that the Primordial Wisdom King was undergoing some form of evolution, its strength far surpassing that of the Primordial Flame King and the Primordial Nether King.
Temporarily halting his advance, Ye Ling used Mo to envelop the Primordial Wisdom King, attempting to infiltrate its will. However, he discovered that the Primordial Wisdom King had completely transformed into data, devoid of any self-awareness.
"Has the Primordial Wisdom King become a supercomputer?" Ye Ling found the situation becoming more troublesome as the Primordial Wisdom King had turned into something akin to artificial intelligence.
Mo could transform all things into text, and Ye Ling could then modify the text through Mo to achieve transformation.
But the Primordial Wisdom King was now a string of data. Compared to the text of Mo, this data was like English and Chinese—both fundamental languages of the same level. Mo could not transform the current Primordial Wisdom King.
"Mo is ineffective, and 'World' likely cannot decompose the Primordial Wisdom King into more basic substances. It seems Mr. Bai was right… this Primordial Wisdom King is a major problem. With the slightest carelessness, I might fall into an abyss!"
Ye Ling stood before the colossal face of the Primordial Wisdom King, not rashly charging into the mass of data. Instead, he attempted to burn the jumbled code forming the face with Bai Di Yan, trying to weaken the Primordial Wisdom King's power.
Bai Di Yan ignited the Primordial Wisdom King's colossal face with ease. The jumbled code acted like dry grass, and the moment it came into contact with Bai Di Yan, the flames erupted into a raging inferno.
Before long, Bai Di Yan consumed the entire colossal face of the Primordial Wisdom King. The burning white flames in this virtual space resembled a white fire lotus, exceptionally beautiful.
However… after being burned by Bai Di Yan, the jumbled code seemed to be stimulated, proliferating wildly.
The rate at which the jumbled code proliferated far outpaced the rate at which Bai Di Yan burned it. Ye Ling's attempt to burn the Primordial Wisdom King's colossal face with Bai Di Yan only resulted in more and more code.
"Bai Di Yan is ineffective… these jumbled codes cannot be burned away. It's likely that using life and death energy would yield a similar result. It seems that to deal with the Primordial Wisdom King, I will need Mu Bai's help…"
Ye Ling had initially not intended to involve Mu Bai in this matter. However, looking at the entire Primordial Chaos, Mu Bai was likely the most suitable person to deal with the Primordial Wisdom King, which had now become an artificial intelligence.
Having made his decision, Ye Ling contacted the World-Ending Spirit Fire through a rune, instructing it to plant a rune for Mu Bai in the small world.
Through this, Ye Ling established contact with Mu Bai.
"Ye Ling, my research on special characters has made some progress. Is there something you need?" Mu Bai inquired, his entire focus on his research.
"Put aside the research on special characters for now. I've encountered some trouble and need your assistance."
"Trouble?"
"Yes… The Primordial Wisdom King has become something akin to artificial intelligence, entirely composed of data. I cannot inflict effective damage on it through conventional means. I need to leverage your hacking skills."
"The Primordial Wisdom King?" Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Mu Bai's interest was immediately piqued. "Can I get a close look at the Primordial Wisdom King's current state?"
"I can transport you to my side, but there is a certain degree of danger…"
"It's fine, I trust your strength to protect me. Transport me over… I also have a grievance with the Primordial Wisdom King, and this is a good opportunity to settle it all."
"Alright…"
Ye Ling had also intended to transport Mu Bai over. After Mu Bai agreed, he cast a rune imprint in front of himself, swapping Mu Bai, who was in the Tianyi Universe, to his current location.
In the real world, Mu Bai's physical body was that of a rather slender youth, the kind easily lost in a crowd.
Even though he was a creator and possessed the strength of a supreme being, his overall demeanor did not exude any sense of threat.
"Is this the current state of the Primordial Wisdom King?"
Upon arriving beside Ye Ling, Mu Bai's attention was immediately captured by the Primordial Wisdom King.
Without exchanging pleasantries with Ye Ling, Mu Bai quickly took out a palm-sized supercomputer he had built and began inputting all the data he was seeing into his computer.
"What are you planning to do?" Ye Ling asked as he watched Mu Bai's fingers dance rapidly across the keyboard.
"I've simulated the real universe in my computer. I am now modeling the Primordial Wisdom King within my computer to analyze its characteristics."
"How long will it take to complete the modeling?" Ye Ling inquired.
"With my computer's processing power alone, fully constructing the Primordial Wisdom King would take over ten thousand years. So, I'll need to borrow your soul power to boost the processing capability…" Mu Bai said as he continued inputting data, seemingly not considering the possibility of Ye Ling refusing.
"What do I need to do?"
Ye Ling indeed had no intention of refusing Mu Bai and asked.
"I've designed an interface specifically for you." Mu Bai produced a special data cable, plugging one end into his computer and handing the other end to Ye Ling. "Just inject your soul power into the data cable."
"Okay."
Ye Ling nodded slightly and injected his soul power as instructed by Mu Bai.
Boom!
The moment Ye Ling's soul connected with the data cable, he felt a wave of dizziness. Ye Ling felt as though his brain had become Mu Bai's computer, engaging in frantic calculations!
