Volume 4: Phoenix Crying in the Ninth Heaven
**Section 1: Heavenly Law Bugs and the Anxiety of the Abacus Master**
Bonds from the "Pacifier Gold Bank" circulated faster than gossip across the four kingdoms. Ashina Jinlang, with his recitation of "Ode to Peace," not only waived his "mental pollution fee" but also unexpectedly gained a following of "Grassland Bard" fans. The "Wind Seal" pacifier and the "Abundant Seal" strawberry birthmark silently guarded the peace promised by Heaven. Su Li's "Time Tracing Medicine Cauldron" also retired (for now), its refined "Time Medicine Dregs" crystal and the precious "Time Amber, Comforting the Souls of All Beings" securely stored. Everything seemed to be on the right track, a peaceful and tranquil life.
However, beneath the calm surface, an undercurrent surged. This undercurrent came from the Way of Heaven itself.
Dabao Su Chen (the remnant soul of a monk), a humble risk control officer who daily works with a causal abacus, has recently been caught in an unprecedented "computing storm." His yellow pear wood abacus hovers beside him almost constantly, its beads twitching and colliding at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, making a dense, clacking sound as if calculating some earth-shattering puzzle. His delicate brows are furrowed, his clear eyes bloodshot like a storm of data (cute version), and he's lost even the taste for his favorite "Complete Calculation" cookies.
"Chen'er? What's wrong?" Su Li was holding a bowl of freshly prepared soothing medicinal food, and looked at her eldest son who was obviously haggard with heartache, "Abacus Master... Ahem, what problem has Master Abacus given you again? Did Ashina Jinlang secretly underpay the wool bonds again?" She thought it was a problem with the financial accounts.
Dabao Su Chen raised his tired little face and shook his head. His little voice was filled with unprecedented solemnity: "It's not about money and vulgarity. Mother, it's... it's the way of heaven itself, 'reporting its mistake'."
"Report an error?!" Su Li almost dropped the bowl of medicinal food on his own head.
[Ding! Host, don't panic! Let this professional system take over!] The venomous tongue system promptly came online, its tone carrying a hint of... gloating excitement? [Abnormal fluctuations in the core computing power of the Heavenly Dao have been detected! The error log summary is as follows (translated by Dabao Abacus):]
**Error code: BUG-404 (Rule conflict)**
* **Error location: Causal Karma Balance Module vs. Newly Implanted 'Mengbao Logic Pollution Package'**
**Specific performance:**
* A three-year drought in a certain area should have resulted in widespread famine, triggering 'blood debt karma' → However, due to the promise of 'favorable weather', forced rainfall → karma cannot be generated → the rules determine a conflict!
* A certain wicked person should have been struck by lightning → but because he had just donated money to an orphanage (perhaps for indulgences) → 'cute baby logic' (children need money) took priority over 'divine punishment rule' → the lightning order was shelved!
* The most outrageous thing is this: a tribe in the Northern Di tribe accidentally killed a pregnant ewe during a sacrifice. → According to the old rules, they would have to bear the minor karma of "killing a life" → But their "Cute Baby Logic" detected the lamb's pity and generated micro-merit points of "compassion" instead, which canceled out the positive and negative merits! → Heavenly Dao Computing Power: ??? (Logical deadlock)!
**System Status: CPU Overloaded! Core Rule Base Chaos +70%! Urgently Need a Patch or...Reboot? (Extremely High Risk!)**
Su Li was stunned. "So... it was because of our previous actions, especially the Tiandao Promise and pollution caused by Hengbao and Qibao... that Tiandao collapsed? Now it can't even figure out its own accounts?"
"That's right." Dabao Su Chen's face was serious as he pointed at the frantically beating abacus. "The core logic of the Heavenly Dao is attempting to repair itself, but 'Cute Baby Logic Pollution' is like a virus, deeply embedded in its underlying code. New and old rules are constantly clashing, causing a large amount of computing power to be consumed in meaningless logical loops. If this continues, it may cause a disorder of the laws, ranging from minor natural disasters (such as torrential rain in the desert or ice cream erupting from a volcano) to major consequences... the collapse of the laws of the world."
"What should we do then?" Su Li said anxiously. "We can't really let Tiandao restart, right? What if the restart fails, or if after the restart, 'Cute Baby Logic' is cleared as a virus, then our promise will be broken."
[Ding! Conventional solutions: 1. Forcefully strip the 'Mengbao Logic Contamination Package' (success rate <1% and may result in a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, Eye of Nirvana 2.0 warning!). 2. Format and reboot (world-class risk!).] The system presents two hopeless options, then changes the subject, [But! Who is this system? It's a super system that has witnessed the miracle of a face covered in milky snot and recorded the miracle of a promise made by a spoiled child! Combining the calculations of the Dabao Abacus, we propose the ultimate solution: **'Abacus Fixed Eternal Numbers' Plan! **]
"Eternal number?" Su Li and Xiao Jue both looked over.
[Core Concept: **Anchoring the chaotic laws of nature with an 'eternal and unchanging' reference point!**] The system explained, [Like casting a stabilizing needle amidst turbulent waves, writing a core program that never changes within the chaotic ocean of code! Centered around this reference point, reconstructing and reconciling old and new rules, quelling conflicts, and restoring order!]
[Target Anchor Lock: Host Su Li (guided by the Medicine Saint talent), Dabao Su Chen (the computing power core), and most crucially, **Fourth Treasure Su Qi's 'Feng Rang Seal' strawberry birthmark (containing the power of Heaven's promise and the blessing of all living beings)** jointly create and inject an **eternal and unchanging 'number'**! This number must meet the following requirements:]
1. **Absolutely constant**: not affected by any rules, time, or space.
2. **All-inclusive**: It can serve as a benchmark for measuring all variables (including karma, merit, and even cute baby logic).
3. **Contains vitality**: It must carry the breath of life and the imprint of hope that is the origin of this world.
