Light Fortress Chapter 1981 - 42: Once More!

The identity of the outsider has been confirmed, so the first thing to do after the reboot is a quick meeting.

Gu Shen and Zhou Jiren’s ideas aligned... Not long after the world rebooted, the four of them reunited on Qinghe Rooftop.

But this time, everyone’s faces looked grim, especially Zhong Wei, who suffered great damage from the recent Source Material Storm.

Although after the reboot, the physical body will restore completely.

However, the "impact" on the spirit will not be erased.

Even though outsiders can carry the memory of each reboot, as a trade-off, they bear the pressure on their "spirit".

"What was that... just now?"

Zhong Wei looked a bit pale: "Source Material Storm attacking Gu Castle?"

This has never happened in previous timelines!

"Is it because we intended to leave the fortress prematurely?"

Tian Tong squinted his eyes, "The rules of this world do not allow us to leave the fortress prematurely... So it manipulated the ’Source Material Storm’ to bombard us, similar to the situation we encountered when heading to the [Old World] previously."

"Did you encounter Source Material Storms before?"

Gu Shen asked solemnly.

"Encountered it... but none as terrifying as this time."

Zhong Wei recalled past events and said softly: "In the past, when we made different choices in the [Old World] from the predetermined trajectory... We always encountered significant resistance, but never such a fierce attack, it nearly pronounced a ’death sentence’."

Zhou Jiren’s communicator rang at this moment.

"Are you all okay?"

Rustbone first delivered a greeting.

This time, he was the first on site to personally experience the world reboot, and the sudden attack of the Source Material Storm confirmed the "reboot triggering condition" that Zhou Jiren mentioned.

[Outsider’s death, the world immediately reboots.]

Besides, it also revealed a very important message... The will of this world is trying to keep them within the Five Continents!

...

...

In less than half a day, the five outsiders met again, this time the meeting place was still Rustbone’s main ship.

But this time...

Rustbone did not rush to see the Empress, he regained consciousness, briefly arranged the internal affairs of the legion, then hurriedly piloted the airship south to meet Gu Shen and his party at the Tundra!

"Prematurely leaving the fortress will trigger the ’world reboot’ condition?"

Zhou Jiren spoke in a deep voice: "Could this mean... What we are doing now threatens this reboot world."

Some things, the more the enemy doesn’t want you to do, the more it indicates their importance!

"Theoretically, that’s the case."

Luo Er frowned and said, "But once such a scale of Source Material Storm hits, how could survival be possible?"

Gu Shen, who had been pondering, suddenly spoke up.

"Do you guys think... this is accidental or inevitable?"

Everyone paused.

"We prematurely leave Gu Castle Fortress and trigger a Source Material Storm."

Gu Shen slowly finished the sentence and seriously asked: "Do you think this incident triggers 100% or... does it just trigger accidentally once?"

"Gu Castle has never suffered such a brutal attack."

Rustbone instinctively replied, "According to the original trajectory of the world, this sort of thing shouldn’t happen..."

He suddenly paused mid-sentence.

Because he realized, the Gu Castle he remembers is the "past" Gu Castle.

The current Gu Castle has been blasted with a huge opening by the Source Material Storm!

"If everything in this world has a predetermined trajectory, then it also implies... The ’will’ of this world knows the past, present, and future of all objects. Thus, this incredibly sophisticated real Dream exists, and all our reactions can be perfectly simulated and evolved."

Gu Shen interlaced his ten fingers together.

Looking at the entwined fingers, he seriously said: "After the eleventh upgrade, Deep Sea’s computing power has undergone a qualitative transformation, but despite this, it cannot perform a complete evolution of the world trajectory. In other words, if this were a game, then the ’core brain’ supporting the operation of this game would have to be at least a twelve-time upgraded Deep Sea."

Even higher!

Since humans currently have no concept of the evolutionary path of Deep Sea, nobody knows what kind of Divine Miracle Deep Sea could create after the next computing power upgrade.

But clearly...

To simulate such a real world, an eleven-time upgraded Deep Sea wouldn’t suffice.

Zhong Wei didn’t quite understand, he asked confusedly: "Little junior brother, what do you mean?"

"Everyone has personally experienced and gone through that recent Source Material Storm."

Gu Shen said word by word: "We have no choice but to assume... This reboot world contains such a main brain, and the existence of this main brain’s significance is to keep us immersed in the ’reboot world’, preventing us from finding a way out. To achieve this, actually, it has to do something very simple, as long as the number of reboots is sufficient, our spirit will naturally become ’chaotic’."

The side effect of this reboot world reminded Gu Shen of the Longevity Technique, which ranks first among the Ancient Forbidden Techniques.

The longer you live, the more memories you accumulate.

Reboot...

It’s the same.

After 138 reboots, can Zhou Jiren and their spirits still remain as clear as before?

If the current situation is still not too bad.

Then after 500 or 1000 reboots...

What will the situation be like?
