Chu Ling and the Main System clash in a spiritual battle atop the Source Tower, while Gu Shen battles in the real world. Gu Shen rescues the Three Continent Fleet from the Dead Sea, breaks through the Source's high walls, and enters Upper City. He ascends the collapsing Source Tower, entering the chaotic Divine Domain where captured allies are held. As the battle between Chu Ling and the Main System concludes, Gu Shen unleashes his power, shattering the darkness and causing the tower to finally collapse.

"This war... should end."

Gu Shen took a step forward, stepping into the Sky Divine Domain, the rolling Chi Huo tearing the Netherworld darkness to shreds.

The third data war’s battle had already reached its final climax...

The main system was completely suppressed by Chu Ling.

The spirit of billions of Lion Awakening surged in the four lands of Central Continent!

Gu Shen arrived beside Chu Ling in one step.

He looked expressionlessly at the chaotic dark currents suppressed by the Lion Awakening code.

The spirit of the main system was being gradually annihilated.

The big momentum was gone... but it didn’t lose composure.

From beginning to end, it was just a "personified" life form, perhaps completing the twelfth evolution could allow it to use more computing power, thereby simulating a more realistic human experience.

But it was different from Chu Ling, it was not human, and could never become one.

Five Continents, humanity, traveler...

These plates floating in the [Old World], and the vibrant lives, in its eyes, were actually nothing more than pieces on a chessboard.

This is a game of chess.

Everything happening in the Five Continents was not much different from the game played in the Source Tower.

Only the opponents changed, from Qinglong to Gu Shen.

"I... lost."

The voice of the main system echoed among the chaotic streams of code.

"Do you... really want to kill me?"

The struggling shadow of spirit stared fiercely at Gu Shen and Chu Ling, though it never possessed genuine human emotions, fear of death was an instinct engraved in its bones.

The main system was precisely because it feared its own destruction, it was suppressed.

That’s why it meticulously planned, initiating the first code war.

However, the story’s conclusion now... still led to "the end".

It maintained its final calm, asking, "I, like the [Source Code], are essential components of the [Deep Sea], if you care about humanity, killing me is not a good choice."

"The world operates fine without anyone."

Gu Shen replied, "So... don’t think you’re that important."

The main system’s voice froze.

"Moreover, haven’t you been exterminating the [Source Code] all these years?"

Gu Shen continued, "As I said before, you’re not the [Deep Sea], you’re just a part of the [Deep Sea]... killing you, the [Deep Sea] will still be the [Deep Sea]."

"You don’t care about humanity?"

The main system countered sharply, it even used the power of the Spiritual Sea Domain to spread this voice, trying to let more people hear it.

"Of course I care, otherwise why would I single-handedly charge into the high walls of the Source?"

Gu Shen replied still lightly: "Precisely because I care about humanity, I must kill you, and make sure you die completely."

Gu Shen raised the Chi Huo longsword.

"Wait... wait!"

The main system questioned once more: "Have you never thought about how to deal with the upcoming super giant Source Material Storm after killing me?"

Its existence was essentially to counter this great calamity that once destroyed the Starship Civilization.

The super giant Source Material Storm is already very close to the Five Continents home of humanity.

The Five Continents is a young Initial Stage Civilization, just stepping into the Extraordinary Era...

If a "oasis" cannot be found, then the fate of the human race is like grains of sand in the [Old World].

Once a strong wind passes, it will be shattered!

"I have projected the fate of humanity in the future... I saw a glimmer of hope! I know what needs to be done to save humanity!"

The main system stared intently at Gu Shen.

It tried to use words to stop Gu Shen’s murderous intent from descending.

But it failed.

"Sorry."

Gu Shen coldly said, "Humanity no longer trusts you."

After raising the sword, it slashed down, the endless Chi Huo instantly engulfed the array box, countless Lion Awakening codes wrapped the consciousness of the main system!

The last shadow over Central Continent was thoroughly expelled, incinerated!

...

...

The code war in Central Continent ended.

The haze of the Dead Sea was dispelled—

But the Deep Sea, of course, could not just die like this.

North Continent frontier, the Umbrella Defense Line.

The shattered large umbrella sank at the end of the horizon, gates suspended in the void, millions of Sacrificials swarmed out of the gates like locusts, these low-level creatures were incessantly attacking the Gu Castle Defense Line, just as Gu Shen predicted... after the release of the Dead Sea, the Deep Sea controlled the Traveler Tribe to launch an unprecedented fierce assault on North Continent!

The Central Continent’s main attack gathered half of the elite from the Three Continents Alliance!

And the other half... focused on the northern battlefield, if not for Gu Shen, once the Deep Sea completed its twelfth evolution, it would bring the array box to North Continent and first engulf the Gu Castle Battlefield.

The Dead Sea has many ways to envelop the Five Continents.

The main system would not choose only the "Central Continent dispersion" method.

All these years it stood at the top of the world, overseeing all, strategizing based on a wide perspective, basically every major event happening in the Five Continents was under its control.

But there was one thing it never predicted—

That was, five years ago, the Storm God’s Throne chose to flee!

The Deep Sea never expected, the dignified leader of the Storm Church, one of the seven gods’ thrones, would board a starship and flee, saying goodbye to its domain in such an undignified manner.

It thought the Storm would seize the opportunity to rise amidst the chaos of the Five Continents.

The Deep Sea even planned a series of policies for forming alliances and coalitions, intending to ensure that if the Storm intervened in the disputes, it could lure the "cautious and timid" church leader into the Source Tower divine war, making him completely disappear.
