In "Skyreach City", a futuristic metropolis ruled by four major financial magnates, Lu Chenshen, a cold-blooded heir to one of the magnates, is implanted with the "Scarlet Code" by ...
But in the depths of the dead silence and nothingness, at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean where even consciousness itself had dissipated, a ripple, so weak as to be almost non-existent that even Xu Shuangyao herself had not noticed, spread silently.
Pei Du…?
A name that had long been swallowed by nothingness, like the last bubble escaping from a shipwreck, flashed extremely briefly in the eternal silence, then shattered and disappeared without a trace.
Cold. Viscous. Absolute nothingness.
Here lies the depths of the Sea of Entropy, the lair of ultimate chaos. The vast crack that stretches across the crystal wall of the universe, like a hideous wound that cannot heal, eternally burns with the flames of laws interwoven with dark gold and gray. Here, order and chaos engage in an endless cycle of annihilation and creation, each collision silently tearing the very fabric of space and time.
At the edge of this meat-grinding field of laws, the absolute silence was broken by a faint yet unusually clear spatial ripple, like a transparent stone dropped into ink.
At the center of the ripples, a vague outline slowly coalesced. It wasn't a physical entity, more a projection of pure observational will. It took on a non-humanoid, ever-shifting geometric form of light and shadow, its edges tinged with a cold, non-spectral shimmer. It hovered silently, as if blending into the entropic backdrop. Only at its core, two constant points of faint blue light, like cold stars, pierced the viscous darkness, intently "gazing" at the seething, chaotic sea of dark gold and grayish-white light deep within the rift.
[Coordinates: Edge of the Sea of Entropy Rift. Phased Submergence Mode Stable. External Concealment: 100%.]
[Objective: Real-time monitoring of the status of the Entropy Sea rift. Correlation analysis: Mythical energy burst event in the fringe star region.]
[Scan activated: Full-band law fluctuation capture. Depth: rift surface to core edge.]
A cold stream of information flows silently within the core of the observer.
A deep blue gaze pierced the seething turbulence of laws, reaching deep into the raging sea of chaotic light within the rift. Countless chains of laws danced frantically there, disintegrating and reforming like countless giant pythons tearing at each other. The dark golden essence of order and the grayish-white force of entropy violently collided and annihilated, unleashing a terrifying energy capable of instantly annihilating a star system. Yet, bound by the laws of a higher dimension, they were tightly bound within this sea of light.
[Activity of the Chaos Sea of Light within the Rift: Baseline value increased by 4.7%. Entropy Penetration Intensity: Baseline value increased by 3.1%. Law Annihilation/Creation Rate: Baseline value increased by 5.3%. Stability Index: Baseline value decreased by 0.4%.]
The data is constantly being updated, and each item points to a disturbing trend - the chaos of the rift is intensifying, and the forces of entropy are gaining a slight but continuous advantage.
[Deep scan: Abnormal energy residual traces were found in the core edge area.]
The blue gaze instantly focused! In a certain area near the edge of the chaotic sea of light, where the violent turbulence should have been randomly distributed, an extremely subtle "track," almost smoothed out by the subsequent energy wash, was captured by the observer's unimaginable perception.
That wasn't a physical trajectory, but rather the remnant of a "disturbance" at the level of laws. Like the spreading ripples left by a stone dropped into water, they were fleeting and rapidly dissipating. Their source pointed to the unobservable core of the origin deep within the crack, and their destination... was surprisingly directed toward the outer edge of the crack's crystal wall!
Trajectory Analysis: Highly Ordered Origin Energy Dissipation… Intensity: Mythical (Residual)… Dissipation Direction: Outside the Cracked Crystal Wall… Dissipation Time: Highly Consistent with the Energy Explosion in the Edge Star Region…
[Analysis of the crystal wall structure at the trajectory escape point: Signs of abnormal breakage/rebirth of the local law chain have been discovered... Breakage pattern: Unnatural annihilation... Signs of high-intensity external will impact and internal origin gravity resonate...]
A cold analysis raced through the Observer's core. It "saw" the fleeting trace of the crack, "saw" the process by which the tiny dark golden light was guided out. Though the details were hazy, the key elements were already locked onto it.
[Conclusion confirmed: This is a mythical energy carrier from the fringe star region. Its core energy source—a fragment of the origin of the starry sky order—originates from the inner core of the Sea of Entropy rift. Escape method: The cracked crystal wall was forcibly torn open by an unknown force (a high-intensity will impact combined with the resonance of the internal origin's gravity).]
[Related target individual (carbon-based life form in the fringe star region): The unknown will imprint detected during its energy fusion process... and the will impact characteristics that tore through the cracks in the crystal wall... are highly homologous (confidence level: 89.7%).]
The faint blue light suddenly shrank, as if the pupil had shrunk due to extreme shock!
Highly homologous? The imprint of will left on that tiny, dying carbon-based lifeform... and the force that forcibly tore through the cracked crystal wall of the Sea of Entropy... are of the same origin? How is this possible?! How could the imprint of will of a lowly life form, one that has never even set foot on a planet, possibly shake the laws and structures of the universe's crystal wall? A logical paradox! An absolute paradox!
unless……
A cold, ancient, almost forgotten word emerges from the core logic of the observer like a ghost crawling out of the cosmic tomb.
【variable.】
Unpredictable.
[I can't understand.]
[…Extremely dangerous.]
For the first time, a faint, unstable ripple appeared on the surface of the observer's form, composed of light and shadow. It was a wave of fear rising from the depths of its cold logical core.
It "watched" the rapidly dissipating remnants of the law's trajectory. Its dark blue gaze seemed to penetrate the endless darkness of the entropy sea, once again locking onto the direction of the garbage cemetery and the tiny figure undergoing an unknown transformation.
