Chapter 1657: Chapter 1240: Pattern
To be honest, this is not easy. Deciphering is one thing, and breaking the code is another. Long Yi once joked, ’I recognize every character you write, but when put together, I can’t understand them.’ That was a joke back then, but now that is exactly the situation. Although decipherable, they are not understandable.
Furthermore, although the ancient Divine Texts circling around the Divine Power star are numerous, the rules contained within are extremely limited; Darkness can only speculate about these Divine Texts with her existing knowledge, which takes time.
Of course, in the Divine Realm, there is no shortage of time, as this place is nearly eternal.
Darkness is not an independent existence; she is currently an aggregate of three hundred core clan consciences, meaning, there are three hundred separate consciences helping her analyze this matter, and at the same time, she has the computational cores of three hundred Golems to help her experiment with any hypothesis.
No matter what these ancient Divine Texts were used for previously, as long as they have a function, it will become evident after various tests. The major issue now is the incompleteness of the rules; therefore, Darkness can only attempt to fill in the gaps in the rules to perform tests. The difficulty lies in the fact that the syntactic structure of these ancient Divine Texts differs from the present, and Darkness can only try using the Giant knowledge Long Yi bestowed upon her and the knowledge stored within her.
Exhaustive searching turns out to be the most practical method; the only trouble with it is the need to waste time.
But as mentioned before, in the Divine Realm, there is an everlasting abundance of time.
Time here has lost its significance, and Mars, unable to be of any help, simply assumed itself as a satellite, idly orbiting around the Divine Power star along with the ancient Divine Texts. Orbiting the Divine Realm, having no clue for how long, suddenly, Mars discovered a peculiar phenomenon. Although there are many ancient Divine Texts orbiting around the star, each Divine Text has its unique orbit. Upon joining, these Divine Texts made way for a new orbit for it, ensuring no two Divine Texts would collide while avoiding collision with Mars. Mars changed its orbit several times, and each time, the ancient Divine Texts immediately switched to a new orbit.
"Master, I’ve discovered something interesting," Mars said cautiously, generally not daring to disturb Darkness unless it thought it really mattered. But this seemed to be a pattern, and Darkness had once mentioned that once something is linked with a pattern, it signifies the emergence of rules. A pattern, then, is an observable rule.
"What is it?" Darkness, lost in thought, was roused to ask.
"I just discovered a pattern that might be somewhat useful," Mars said.
"Oh? What pattern?" Darkness, ending her musing, asked earnestly.
"Please observe the changes in the orbits between me and these Divine Texts," Mars immediately demonstrated to Darkness.
Darkness realized it after seeing it just once.
"Indeed, this is truly an interesting phenomenon. Moreover, the Divine Texts’ re-avoidance is not a result of external forces but a result of the Divine Texts avoiding themselves. The only possible reason for the avoidance between the Divine Texts could be that the rule segments do not match. Since rules tend to merge, non-alignment means the polarities of the rules reject any matching polarity! Arranging and combining all the known rules, eliminating incompatible rule polarities..."
Darkness suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Mars! This time you have really been of great help!"
Mars had never thought it would be praised by Darkness in its lifetime, considering all it had was granted by Darkness and it was merely a lucky planet. Its only role was to shield Darkness and her divine assembly from enemies and provide a place for them to reside and rest. But now, Darkness was praising it for being a great help!
"Please don’t say that, I was just lucky, without you I am nothing..." Mars became subdued immediately.
"No, this time it truly is thanks to you, as you may have solved all the problems I am currently puzzled with!"
Gathering the knowledge Darkness possessed, she immediately chose two rule segments from the known polar rules, assembled them into a Divine Text, and then released it into orbit.
Initially, the surrounding ancient Divine Texts routinely gave way to a new orbit for this new Divine Text, but by the fourth week of its orbit, there was a clear acceleration of an ancient Divine Text towards it, and a divine light shot out, directly enveloping Darkness, accompanied by an enhancement of her Divine Status. Not just that, the newly merged Divine Text absorbed another Divine Text, likewise enhancing Darkness’s Divine Status and Divine Power.
Darkness had no interest in her own enhancement of Divine Status, as she noticed that both polar rules of her created Divine Text had each merged with a Divine Text!
That is, her own knowledge was correct!
