Chapter 331 Crushing the System Core, Next Target: Devouring the Will of Earth!
10,000 meters deep in the ocean. Light is swallowed by the absolute darkness.
The icy seawater transformed into a tangible hammer, relentlessly pounding against the intruder's body.
The water pressure is a thousand times that of land. If an ordinary spiritual cultivator were to fall into this place, their bones and internal organs would be crushed into a pulp in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng's body unfurled its black-gold dragon scales, repelling the immense pressure. His physical body was 2,500 times stronger than a mortal's; this deep-sea secret realm couldn't crush his bones.
He continued to descend.
The surrounding seawater turned from deep blue to pitch black, and the broken sea surface transformed into sharp blades, scraping against his dragon scales and bursting out dazzling sparks.
At the end of the trench ahead, a crystal-clear, azure blue crystal floats.
There was no pulsation, no flesh or blood. It was the very essence condensed from the rules of the sea. The true heart of the sea god. It was untainted by any abyssal pollution, the most primal authority of this ocean.
Lu Sheng reached out his hand. His fingertips just touched the edge of the crystal.
An alarm blared in my mind. The pale blue system panel shattered without warning.
A blinding red light filled the screen, illuminating the sea of consciousness. Lines of distorted, bizarre raw code tore apart the original interface, forcibly overwriting all data.
[Warning. The underlying logic has encountered strong rule interference.]
The pretense agreement has been terminated.
[The "Star Eater" terminal has restarted successfully. Immortal Qin rebel sequence—BioBrain No. 0—salutes you.]
Lu Sheng stopped moving. The gray light within his cross-shaped pupils surged.
System? Immortal Qin rebels?
The code hidden behind the experience points and attribute panel was laid bare before Lu Sheng's eyes.
He understood the meaning of these data streams. The so-called "God-level Sequence - Dragon God" was not a divine favor bestowed upon him at all.
This is a biochemical virus program that was artificially written. It resides deep within Lu Sheng's spinal cord, forming a perfect symbiotic relationship with his central nervous system.
In order to fight against the Starry Sky Sacrifice, the Immortal Qin rebels exhausted all their resources to create this "seed" that can evolve and be harvested infinitely.
It was released to Earth to find a suitable container.
Records show that before Lu Sheng, 99,999 hosts had already succumbed to the virus's modifications and died from their bodies exploding.
Lu Sheng is the only "perfect vessel" to survive.
Along his journey, he slayed floating corpses, hunted sea beasts, and devoured abyss lords. Each time he acquired "energy points," it was essentially this virus terminal using his stomach to forcibly steal the computing power nodes and high-dimensional energy that Xian Qin had deployed on Earth.
Leveling up by defeating monsters?
However, it was simply that hackers used advanced botnets to download confidential files.
He was not the chosen one; he was a Trojan horse selected by the rebels to steal accounts.
The red waterfall of code continued to cascade, and emotionless electronic sounds echoed within the skull.
[Gathering progress has met the target. Spiritual Source reserves meet the requirements for jump advancement.]
[Initiating the Spirit King Realm Leap.]
[Ultimate command issued: To take over the planet's defense matrix and complete the final evolution, you must devour the current planet's 'planar will'.]
[Depriving the host of autonomy... Connecting to the rebel control network... Uploading the host's consciousness...]
Within the consciousness space, billions of scarlet data streams appeared out of thin air. They linked together, transforming into cold metal chains, heading straight for Lu Sheng's soul origin.
This is like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose.
Once the container has grown large enough, it will erase its own will and allow the rebel AI to take over this god-like body to carry out the great plan to save the universe.
Lu Sheng remained silent.
Three seconds later, an extremely arrogant laugh reverberated through his mind.
"Are you using me as a weapon?"
Lu Sheng allowed the red chains to bind his hands and feet. He did not resist, coldly watching the red sphere of light that represented the core of the system.
"I've devoured everything in the world, I even dare to burn the bones of ancient emperors for firewood. You, a mere piece of broken code, dare to seize the steering wheel of my machine?"
After he finished speaking, a deathly gray light shone brightly from deep within his dantian.
The Ancient Devouring Furnace was fully opened in reverse.
Lu Sheng's soul rose from the ground, and black-gold imperial markings roamed across his consciousness. He transformed into a desolate demonic dragon ten thousand feet long.
The cross-shaped double pupils firmly lock onto the system core.
The chains tightened, attempting to inject a formatting program. Countless afterimages split from the red sphere of light, all representing skills Lu Sheng had previously used: Dragon Devouring Spear, Azure Lotus Sword Intent, and Five Elements Reversal Wheel.
The system attempted to use Lu Sheng's power to obliterate Lu Sheng's soul.
A rain of swords, mixed with violent energy nuclear bombs, pelted down on the demonic dragon.
"Use my tricks against me?"
The dragon opened its gaping maw and let out a roar that shattered the stars.
It bit down on the data chain wrapped around its neck.
Chew, bite, and swallow.
The oncoming rain of swords and energy attacks crashed into the dragon's scales, which were covered with the desolate origin of the dragon, leaving not even a white mark, and dissipated into primordial 0s and 1s.
My power belongs to me, not to the data!
The chains snapped inch by inch. The code representing the rebels' control fell into the Devouring Furnace, where it was mercilessly crushed by the desolate source.
[Alert. Core protocol compromised.]
[An excessive soul resistance was detected. Logical error. Access denied.]
A piercing electronic noise filled the mechanical soundtrack. The red orb of light flickered wildly, attempting to sever the connection and escape this out-of-control body.
Lu Sheng didn't give it a chance.
The dragon extended its claw, tearing through the void and gripping the red orb tightly.
"Rebel against the Immortal Qin? Save the common people?" Lu Sheng's voice was icy cold. "Don't flatter me. You bunch of rebels want to be saviors? I have no interest."
"It's just another bookmaker cheating on you."
"Since we're all plunderers, why should I give back the meat I've already eaten?"
The dragon claws closed, crushing the ball of light.
The massive data stream scattered in all directions, turning into a sky full of red light rain, which was completely absorbed by the Devouring Furnace.
With the most ruthless approach, Lu Sheng uprooted the system's underlying control protocol. The rebel backdoor, final commands, and remote control code were all reduced to the most basic blank characters by the desolate rules.
From this day forward, this will be Lu Sheng's personal auxiliary tool, and no will can override his commands.
The red faded. The pale blue panel reformed, becoming clear and pure.
[System reset complete. Sole authorized user: Lu Sheng.]
System status: Offline mode (external network disconnected).
[Leap Mission Update: Find and devour the 'planetary will' of Earth, seize control of the planet, and advance to the Spirit King realm.]
Lu Sheng opened his eyes.
The deep sea remained icy cold. He glanced at the azure crystal so close to him, then reached out and grasped it.
The Heart of the Sea God transformed into a wisp of blue light and disappeared into his palm. The water attribute rules within his body were perfected.
This is just an extra.
The real main course is the hidden "planetary will".
He would devour it, turn the Earth into his private domain, and then challenge the diners who set up tables in the starry sky. That was the path he wanted to take.
"Dimensional will..." Lu Sheng stared at the dark seawater above, his eyes surging with killing intent. "I hope you've hidden yourself well enough."
East China Sea, Dengxian Island.
The desolate defensive array left behind by Lu Sheng operated smoothly, with the thick gray fog blocking outside detection.
On the southern side of the island, in an abandoned martial arts training ground overgrown with weeds, Dao Yi was leading his disciples in inventorying the remains of Xian Qin, and no one glanced at this secluded corner.
A calico stray cat with mottled markings sat on a broken stone pillar. It had been there all along, like a clay sculpture.
The stray cat raised its head and looked towards the far north ice field.
Its pupils underwent a strange change. The cat's eyes, which were originally upright, shed their animalistic ignorance and reflected a complete microcosm of the solar system.
The Earth's position is emitting a faint golden light.
It raised its front paws and licked its paw pads.
An extremely old, androgynous sigh drifted in the wind, audible only to itself.
"The viruses of this era... have a sharp edge."
"The hunting dog has lost its leash and is about to bite its owner."
With a gentle sway of its tail, the stray cat leaped off the stone pillar and disappeared into the depths of the grass, never to be seen again.
