The "Initial Spark" program is activated, reinforcing the Mental Barrier and providing Elemental Energy to the Titan Giant Statue and the Illusion Forest Knight Order. As the sky's data rift shows signs of a chaotic vortex, a golden-blue horn resists the onslaught. David decides to upgrade the Northern Fortress dimensionally to a "Wandering Divine Domain" to counter the expanding Annihilation fleet. This dangerous plan requires extracting World Tree core energy, a task Liya agrees to undertake despite the potential backlash. Annie begins the extraction process while David stresses the urgency, warning of total annihilation if a breakthrough isn't achieved.

Liya sat cross-legged at the edge of the central altar, a melody of pale blue Holy Song echoing, enveloping the space in a soft, sacred atmosphere.

On her forehead, the Holy Seal suddenly blossomed with a dazzling Life Rune, forming a protective screen in the air, preparing to resist the impending information backlash that would impact the entire area.

Time seemed compressed into a blunt knife slowly cutting, relentlessly scraping every cell.

As Annie initiated the final procedure, pure spiritual energy gathered from the virtual interface into tangible fluid and was injected into the giant crystal device at the center of the Northern Fortress.

This apparatus seemed to possess its own consciousness, and after absorbing the World Tree essence continuously transmitted to it, it began to shake violently, with its surface runes gradually changing from dark gold to brilliant and magnificent, like dawn breaking on the horizon.

The frost still covered the edges of David’s armor as he stepped down from the command dais, each step solid and forceful.

He approached Liya and lightly tapped the altar’s stone wall with his fist: "Belief will be our Shield; no matter how dark the future, as long as the heart’s light isn’t extinguished, we still have a chance."

Liya nodded in response, a faint smile appearing at the corners of her mouth, unable to hide the small beads of sweat on her temples due to mental overload.

"I can feel it... the backlash is rapidly spreading, this pain is bitter yet a necessary path to awaken a stronger vitality."

She slowly closed her eyes and continued to chant prayers, making the Holy Song permeate purer into every inch of space.

On the external battlefield, waves of elemental storms roared and rolled, like a blizzard mixed with lightning suddenly striking, causing the obliteration streams to temporarily retreat.

But this is not the end; rather, it’s an ominous calm before a more dangerous trial.

Reina raised the scepter in the air, converging lightning into a fierce Shield that covered the Knight Order and guard troops, erecting an impregnable information barrier for them while continuously launching fierce counterattacks on the enemy’s tentacles, burning the corrupt spores until they were refined and exhausted.

However, she couldn’t hide the fatigue shown in her eyes from the uncertainty of the future—the road remains thorny, and nobody can predict whether the outcome will be any different.

With the "Civilization Spark" plan advancing, the formatted progress numbers on the holographic data interface stopped jumping, beginning a slow countdown pause.

Like a brief breath near the critical burn point, making everyone hold their breath, awaiting the next moment’s destiny choice.

At this key node, countless consciousnesses converged and linked, forming an unprecedented information resonance.

It is both a call and a pledge, a resistance and a rebirth, the only glimmer of dawn lighting up at the edge of destruction!

Hilvia raised her hands to cast a law hymn, with runes of spiritual laws gradually surrounding and spreading, projecting a strange blue-silver glow within the hall.

This splendor seemed to show the essence of cosmic laws, injecting a temporarily but strong and stable ripple into the chaotic rule system.

Within the instant decree interweaves, multiple space distortions vaguely repaired several broken nodes, making the information stream controlled away from the most dangerous path, gaining valuable time and opportunities for subsequent actions.

Annie adjusted the input parameters again, her eyes intently staring at the floating screen on the newly appended code segment.

Strings of complex algorithms flowed into the Titan Giant Statue’s core control module like living water, forming a closed-loop feedback network with the Illusion Forest Knight Order’s equipment system and the mental barrier, achieving comprehensive synchronized enhancement.

Simultaneously, the "Twilight Eye" device was recalibrated to extend operational life at maximum efficiency, even if the cost is severe, it must be sustained to the end!

At the center of a vast sky crack, the twisted data river like a swallowing scorpion tail quietly contracted.

A brilliant blue-golden brightness rose gradually from the depth of the crack, akin to the first beam of dawn breaking through the long night, tinting the silence with a trace of warm hope.

This flame of the "Initial Spark" is gradually igniting every remaining fragment of order, using the oldest and most pure information power to motivate the Multiverse to struggle and self-repair!

Feiya opened his damp-lashed big eyes, gazing at the splendid stars and the chaos-tangled laws of the grand cosmos.

He murmured to himself: "A new era has arrived, and we must nurture its growth, not let darkness swallow the dawn again..."

On the Crystal Song Plain, the embers of the information rift glowed faintly in the surviving afterglow of sunset.

The corrupt spores left by the annihilation fleet spread like a plague, floating in the air, each spore containing immeasurable entropy energy, a ferocious force capable of rapidly dissolving and devouring the Order Law, making all living creatures shrink in terror.

In the giant crystal apparatus at the Northern Fortress’ center, the World Tree’s core energy is being extracted and injected within.

The enormous and complex rune network flashed flowing brilliance, like veins, transporting the Power of Life to every inch of the fortress structure.

Annie’s eyes gleamed with firm and focused light as she tapped the symbols on the virtual interface with her fingertips, constantly adjusting the parameters to ensure the process remains stable.

Her brow furrowed, sweat sliding down her temples, in this tension reaching the limit moment, every minute and second felt like racing against death.

"Core energy transmission stability rate maintained at 85%." She reported softly but dared not relax at all.

The data stream bouncing on the screen kept changing, sometimes sharply rising, sometimes slowed by inexplicable interference.

Suddenly, a dull rumbling sound came from the northern outskirts, low and eerie like the roar of an ancient Giant Beast.

Cluster after cluster of black-purple-striped data spores quickly gathered, rushing towards the fortress at an astonishing speed.

These entropy-boost spores are like a Demon group in a dark corrosive nebula, each emitting suffocating information toxins, constantly infiltrating surrounding space decrees, triggering microscopic law chaotic fluctuations.

The guard troop lines instantly alerted, countless soldiers raised their weapons to resist, but soon realized simple force was ineffectual against the vast information pollution stream.

These tentacle-like spores seemed conscious, entwining and attaching, tearing space distortions into more dangerous nodes.

"Alert! Entropy data pollution is rapidly spreading!" As soldiers’ shouts and Spells intertwined, the greater the pressure, the more fragile and swaying the Order Decree in the earth and air showed.

Just then, a cold yet determined figure broke through the air, draped in an ice-blue robe, her silver-white hair as if glacier water stream, slightly fluttering in the wind—that was Amy, the youngest yet exceptionally gifted Elemental Mage in the Illusion Forest.

She flicked her fingers gently, a cluster of blue light ball gathered in her palm, pure and sharp as the Cold Crystal core formed in winter.

"Activate ’Ice Ocean Star Ring’!" Amy ordered with determined eyes to the small Shuili Demon assisting with elemental power handling beside her.

In an instant, countless translucent blue-white Shuili petals scattered from the air, each petal’s edge shimmering delicate frosty lines, spinning and converging to form a dazzling ice crystal ring around the northern outskirts, akin to stars surrounding the moon, highlighting mysterious and powerful life’s resilience.

That "Ice Ocean Star Ring" acted like an invisible Shield, freezing the approaching twisted information spores into hard crystals, solidifying and sealing them in the outer space.

Like frost walls on polar frozen prairies, this layer of Shield reflected a cold and dazzling silver brilliance under the sunlight, yet contained the breath of vibrant information rhythm, preventing the obliteration stream from freely spreading and corroding internal structures and mental defenses.

Reina stood at the tower’s top, her eyes mirrored with lightning flames, wielding the scepter to cast the thunderous rock Shield, collaborating with Amy to erect multiple elemental barriers.

"Let the flames and ice sound together, turning fallen tentacles into fragments!" Her voice was sonorous and powerful, even exhausted to the extreme yet not retreating.

Thunder roared alongside gales and stormy rains, making the entire battlefield as if placed amidst an apocalypse whirlwind center, but this resistance force stood like a rock in front of the storm, injecting the guard troops with enormous spiritual inspiration and actual defense power.

Members of the Sofia Knight Order donned Battle Armor, traversing the cracking edges to slay tentacles, their sword blades surging with power infused by the "Initial Spark," each sword beam crossing accompanied by blazing golden-blue sparks exploding like divine punishment descending, causing Dark Tentacles to break piece by piece.
