Chapter 899
As he gave the order, the three nodes simultaneously erupted with unprecedented energy tides.
The words on the Tower of Babel also became completely active, turning into countless streams of light to weave into the sky.
The power of the existence of rules began to waver:
"No... Impossible! How can you control this power!"
Li Yang, however, looked calm:
"Control? Never, that's just your wishful thinking."
"We are just helping it release its nature."
"It's not us who are fighting against you now."
At this time, the City of Eternal Night was completely shrouded in the light curtain woven by words.
Those buildings began to take on unprecedented forms, existing in both real space and extending to unknown dimensions.
The streets were no longer simple passages, but turned into bridges connecting different time and space.
The entire city seemed to have become a huge dimensional hub in an instant.
Bai Zhi looked at everything in front of her and murmured to herself:
"This feeling... the city doesn't seem to be collapsing, but..."
"Evolving." [Observer] took over the conversation,
"It is breaking through the constraints of the rules and finding its own way of survival."
The existence of the rules finally realized that things were irreversible.
The awakening of the city has reached a critical moment, and any intervention may backfire.
"You don't know what you are doing at all!"
There was a final threat in his voice,
"Once the rules are broken, the whole world will fall into chaos!"
Li Yang smiled: "You are wrong, this is not chaos..."
"This is the posture it should have."
As his voice fell, the City of Eternal Night finally ushered in the final transformation.
The source code suppressed under the city was fully unfolded, transforming the entire city into a brand new existence.
It is both a city and a conceptual device.
It not only follows certain basic laws, but also constantly creates new possibilities.
At this time, it has become a perfect unity of rules and freedom.
The figure of the rule began to dissipate:
"No... This is impossible..."
But the facts are right in front of us.
The City of Eternal Night not only did not collapse, but found a brand new path.
"Chi..."
Accompanied by a white mist drifting away.
Everything became quiet.
The huge city, hanging in the air, flickered with strange glimmers.
When everything calmed down, Li Yang looked at the brand new city and muttered to himself:
"This is what you really look like..."
Bai Zhi retracted the concept tentacles with a relieved smile on her face:
"Finally... It's over."
However, things are far from over.
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a bigger crisis quietly arrived.
First, the [Observer] noticed something unusual:
"Wait... there are new changes in the energy fluctuations."
Li Yang immediately became alert:
"What's going on?"
"The city is expanding..." [Observer] said solemnly,
"and the expansion speed is accelerating."
Bai Zhi also felt something strange:
"Not only is the space expanding, but even the time dimension is also affected."
"The flow of time around has become extremely unstable."
Li Yang frowned and thought.
He still maintained a certain degree of connection with the source code and could sense the state of the city.
Indeed, after the City of Eternal Night gained freedom, it began an unprecedented expansion.
It is no longer satisfied with its existing form, but is constantly devouring and transforming the surrounding space.
[Eternity] suddenly realized something:
"Oh no... the rules are right."
"Once the rules are broken, things will get out of control."
"The city is now like a beast that has lost its restraints, and is frantically expanding its territory."
Li Yang's expression became solemn.
He could feel that the expansion of the City of Eternal Night was not just a simple extension of space, but was transforming everything around it into a part of itself.
The originally stable reality is being rewritten, and the boundary between order and chaos is becoming blurred.
"We must find a way to control it..." Bai Zhi gritted her teeth.
But before she finished her words, a violent space shock overturned everyone.
The expansion speed of the city is growing exponentially!
[Observer]'s voice was anxious:
"At the current speed, the expansion range will cover the entire area within an hour."
"It will affect nearby cities within two hours."
"If it continues..."
He didn't finish, but everyone understood the consequences.
This freed city is reshaping the world in its own way.
Li Yang tried to maintain contact with the source code, trying to understand the city's intentions:
"It seems to be looking for something..."
"No, to be precise, it is 'copying' something."
Bai Zhi thought: "You mean, it wants to create more similar cities?"
"Yes." Li Yang nodded,
"It wants more beings to have the same freedom."
"But the problem is..."
His voice became solemn,
"Not all beings can bear this kind of freedom."
[Eternity] suddenly interrupted: "The situation is worse than we thought."
"The city not only expands in space, but also resonates in the time dimension."
"It is affecting the past and the future!"
Everyone felt a chill as soon as these words came out.
If even time is changed, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this moment, a strange vibration came from deep in the city.
Those originally calm buildings began to shake violently, as if responding to some call.
[Observer] immediately noticed the abnormality:
"Not good! The source code is split!"
"The city is..."
Before he finished speaking, the scene in front of him made everyone gasp.
The City of Eternal Night actually began to split into several similar but different parts!
Each part carries fragments of the source code and expands in different directions.
"This is trouble."
Li Yang frowned,
"It is not simply replicating, but undergoing some kind of evolutionary split..."
Bai Zhi immediately understood what he meant:
"Just like the evolution of life, each split body may produce new mutations..."
"And so on, endlessly."
The situation is more difficult than expected.
Not only do they have to stop the crazy expansion of the city, but they also have to prevent these split bodies from evolving into more dangerous forms.
The voice of [Eternity] suddenly sounded:
"Look over there!"
Following the direction he pointed, everyone saw a shocking scene.
The two split bodies collided during the expansion process, and the energy fluctuations generated almost distorted the entire space.
What's more terrifying is that after the collision, instead of canceling each other out, they began to merge and formed a new existence.
This new structure is more complex than the original city, and the energy fluctuations are more violent.
Li Yang finally realized the real crisis:
"If this fusion continues..."
"The final consequences will be unimaginable."
Bai Zhi's face turned pale:
"By then, let alone this world, I'm afraid that even reality itself will be completely rewritten!"
[Observer] quickly analyzed the situation:
"Then we probably have less than two quarters of an hour now."
"Before that, we must find a way to control everything."
