Chapter 430 Five Colors of Light
Fifty days passed faster than Su Fan had anticipated, thanks to the continuous operation of the Law Resonance Field.
Every morning when he squatted on the South Heavenly Gate city wall to eat breakfast, the purple-gold thread in the silver-gray line on his left palm moved a little faster than the day before.
The numbers reported by Xu when scanning the seed's internal fusion progress using the cardiac network every morning at dawn are also steadily increasing.
On the fifth day, the area of the impregnation layer centered on the anchor point had expanded to nearly 10% of the total area of the interlayer; on the tenth day, it had expanded to 20%; and on the twentieth day, it had expanded to 40%.
The integration process is progressing slightly faster than linear growth, with the growth rate jumping up a little every five days.
On the morning of the twenty-fifth day, as Su Fan was squatting on the city wall and biting into a steamed bun, he suddenly felt a different kind of temperature emanating from the silver-gray line on his left palm.
The temperature wasn't transmitted from the old domain core; it radiated outward from the underlying structure of the silver-gray line itself—like the old domain core panoramic data archive sealed inside the line generating a layer of self-generated heat during continuous decompression.
The temperature of the heat was neither too high nor too low, exactly the same as the temperature of the purple-gold halo on the surface of the seed. However, the heat penetrated from inside the thread towards the surface of the skin, and after penetrating the skin, it formed a very thin warm film in his palm.
"The old domain core panoramic data compressed package is continuously being decompressed."
That morning, there was no sound coming from the direction of the crack. He went directly to the edge of the city wall and squatted down. He pulled his right hand out from his chest and opened it. The purple-gold threads on the silver-gray pattern in his palm were moving about 20% faster than they had five days ago.
"The decompression method is the same as before, which is to release data slowly in batches. Each heartbeat corresponds to the decompression of a small batch of data."
However, the decompression speed continues to increase automatically.
The improvement is related to the fusion progress within the seed.
The layers separating the two data blocks within the seed are getting thinner and thinner, the fusion process is accelerating, and the mirror synchronization between the five data variants of the old domain core on the primordial side, generated by the locked heartbeat frequency, is becoming increasingly tight.
Once the data becomes sufficiently tightly coupled, the synchronization error between the five data variants drops to an extremely low threshold, and the decompression speed of the compressed package automatically enters an accelerated mode linked to the fusion progress.
After enabling the acceleration mode, the decompression speed will be slightly faster each day than the previous day.
When the fusion is complete on the fiftieth day, the compressed file sealed within the line in your palm will also be completely decompressed at the same instant.
Su Fan turned his left hand over to face the morning light and looked at the silvery-gray line, where the warm film on the surface glowed with an extremely thin luminescence in the light.
The fluorescent layer is a mixture of five colors—purple, gold, silver, white, silver, and gray—that he still can't find a suitable name for after they are all layered together. However, he can distinguish the distribution and flow direction of each color band in that fluorescent layer.
The outermost layer is purplish-gold, with silver-white closely following the inner layer of purplish-gold, and silver-gray slowly flowing in the deepest part.
The three colored bands formed an extremely thin and dense law film on the surface of his palm. The texture of the film completely overlapped with the direction of his palm lines, as if the silver-gray line had completely merged into the natural lines of his palm and was no longer an independent engraving.
"That line has already merged with the lines on my palm."
Su Fan closed his palm and then opened it again. The silver-gray line was no longer a new mark separate from the palm lines. It had been embedded deep into the texture of the original callus line on his palm. The boundary between the two lines became blurred and merged into a complete composite line.
"It is no longer an outsider carved into the old domain."
It's grown into my skin.
Even if it's dug out later, there will already be a law-like pattern exactly the same as it waiting under the skin within the palm print.
Xu nodded.
"After the last data variant of the old domain core—the anchor point of the original core layer—was embedded in the seed layer, it sent a low-level structure synchronization instruction to all data variants."
The synchronization instruction is to make the outer form of the law of all data variants move closer to the original law structure of their respective carriers.
The outer wall of the line on your palm should align with the natural texture of your palm lines.
The lines in the halo of A Dou's axe blade should converge with the gray-white halo structure of the axe blade itself.
The lines on Eros's fingertips should follow the natural direction of the fingerprint path.
The lines on my palm should converge towards the basic grid structure of the cardiac vascular network map.
The mirror image inside the seed should resemble the seed's own purple-gold halo structure.
All data variants are simultaneously undergoing outer wall fusion.
After the fusion is complete, each line will be fully embedded into the original structure of its respective carrier, becoming part of the original law pattern of the carrier.
At that time, that line will no longer be 'old domain core data sealed on the carrier'.
It will become a layer of natural, patterned texture that grows naturally within the structure of the carrier itself.
A Dou squatted on the threshold and turned the small axe upside down to examine it in the light.
The silver-gray line within the axe blade's aura was indeed slowly seeping into the texture of the gray-white aura. The edge of the silver-gray line had begun to merge with the boundary of the gray-white aura. The two different laws and textures were permeating each other's surface structure at an extremely slow and steady pace.
Eros raised his hands towards the morning light.
The silver-gray line in the transparent pattern on his fingertip was also converging with the natural direction of his fingerprint. The direction of the line gradually overlapped with the direction of the pattern on the surface of his fingertip, and the overlapping part was lit by a very thin layer of mixed five-color fluorescence.
Xu spread out the diagram on his right palm. The silver-gray lines on the diagram were penetrating into the basic grid structure of the heart network diagram, and the direction of penetration was completely consistent with the direction of the grid lines.
All data variants are undergoing simultaneous outer wall fusion.
The day after the fifth line was embedded in the partition, the old domain core simultaneously sent outer wall fusion commands to the five data variants via a locked heartbeat frequency.
After receiving the instructions, each of the five variants began the process of merging with the carrier's native structure.
The fusion speed is completely synchronized with the fusion speed of the two data blocks inside the seed—for every thinner layer of the seed separator, the outer wall of the five variants embeds one more layer into the carrier's original structure.
Five lines and a seed are doing exactly the same thing simultaneously, under the command of the same heartbeat frequency.
To become part of the vessel.
On the morning of the twenty-eighth day, as Su Fan was squatting on the city wall eating breakfast, he suddenly felt that the overall temperature of the Nantianmen city wall was slightly higher than before, by a tiny bit.
That sudden increase did not come from changes in the light of Mars, nor from fluctuations in the laws of the golden patterns on the city wall, but from the direction of the White Rock Plateau—an extremely faint source of heat was slowly spreading from the depths of the Ruins of Return towards the foundation of the city wall.
The heat source was extremely weak, so weak that it would have been impossible to detect it if the Law Perception System hadn't been synchronized with the old domain core for so long.
But he caught it.
That was the residual heat of the diffusion law generated after the fusion progress inside the seed crossed a certain key threshold on the twenty-eighth day.
"The integration progress exceeded 50% this morning."
The sound of the rubble came from the direction of the crack.
The thickness of the interlayer has been reduced to half of its original thickness.
After the speed was reduced to half, the impregnation speed on both sides of the partition automatically increased again.
The integration process is now almost twice as fast as it was initially launched.
Based on the trend of the acceleration curve, the remaining 50% of the fusion time will be shortened to about twelve days.
It's not the twenty days we estimated before.
It is twelve days.
The overall integration time has been shortened from fifty days to forty days.
There are twelve days left.
Su Fan swallowed the last bite of steamed bun, stood up, carried the Pangu Axe, and walked to the White Rock Terrace.
As he crouched at the edge of the crack and reached in to touch the purple-gold halo on the seed's surface, he could feel that the layer between the two data blocks inside the seed was now only half its original thickness.
The thickness of the wetting layers at both ends of the partition is even thicker than the partition itself—the wetting layers have accumulated an extremely thick layer of mixed data on each side of the partition, with the continuously thinning partition layer between the two wetting layers.
The partition is like a thin wall sandwiched between two layers of dense fog; the wall is constantly getting thinner, while the fog is constantly getting thicker.
The moment the thin wall completely disappears, the two layers of dense fog will merge into a single, complete fog.
"Twelve days later, the partition layer disappeared, the infiltration layer mixed, and the third data volume grew out from the anchor point."
Xu crouched on the other side of the crack, his voice calm but carrying a deep, steady expectation.
"At that time, the purple-gold halo inside the seed will officially transform into a five-color mixed light."
The hue of the halo is exactly the same as the hue of the silver-gray lines inside your four bodies.
Next to the three engravings in the dark gold fluorescent layer on the seed surface, there will be an additional silver-gray forecast line of full depth.
The number of scratches on the surface of the fragment will become four.
The cyclical speed of the underlying breathing pattern in the melody will be slightly adjusted to be completely synchronized with the pulsating rhythm of the mixed data body.
The operating rhythm within the core of the old domain will eventually resonate completely with the five data variants on the primordial side and the new data entity within the seed.
Six variants of the old domain core data, distributed across six locations, will operate simultaneously at the same heartbeat frequency.
There will be no further deviations.
Su Fan withdrew his fingers from the surface of the seed.
He looked down at the silver-gray line on his palm that had completely merged with the lines on his palm, which glowed with a mixture of five colors in the morning light.
The temperature of that line was now slightly higher than his own body temperature.
The increase was neither too high nor too low; it was exactly equal to the average of the temperature of the purple-gold halo on the seed surface, the temperature of the silver-gray anchor point, the temperature of the melody background, and the self-heating generated naturally during the fusion of the outer wall.
The temperature now spreads upwards from his palm, reaching the network of laws perceiving his entire arm, and then from his arm to the laws structure of his entire chest, back, and neck.
The old domain core panoramic data compressed package within the silver-gray line is still being decompressed.
The decompression speed and the fusion progress are accelerated in complete synchronization.
With each heartbeat, the compressed file decompresses a little more, the seed layer thins a little more, and the outer walls of the five variants integrate a little more into the carrier. All processes proceed synchronously at the same pace.
He stood up and hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder.
The fusion was completed after twelve days.
Twelve days later, all six sets of data were in place.
Twelve days later, the entire core of the old domain will exist simultaneously in all six locations.
He walked towards the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
When he reached the foot of the city wall, he stopped and looked back at Baiyan Terrace.
The five-colored fluorescent light on the surface of the plateau was even brighter than before in the morning light.
At the center of the light was the purple-gold halo of the seed deep within the Guixu Crack.
The edge of that halo had begun to show a very faint silver-gray line—the same silver-gray line that the fifth line left on the surface of the white rock layer when it was embedded in the interlayer.
The halo around the seed is slowly transitioning from purple-gold to a mixture of five colors.
The speed of the transition and the progress of the integration are completely synchronized.
In twelve days, the seeds will turn five colors.
At that time, all five data variants of the Old Domain Core on this side of the Primordial World and the original core inside the Old Domain will simultaneously be lit by the same five-colored mixed light.
The six light sources illuminated independently yet synchronously.
It shone brightly in various parts of the primordial wilderness and deep within the ancient realms.
The wind surged up from the direction of the Guixu Crack.
Su Fan turned around and continued walking up the city wall.
The purple-gold thread within the silver-gray line in the palm continued to wander, the compressed file continued to decompress, and the five-colored fluorescent light continued to glow.
The heart is beating, the old domain core is beating in sync, the seed is pulsating in sync, and the five data variants are operating in sync.
After all the jumps were stacked together, they were evenly distributed across every point of his body that perceived the laws, continuously cycling and lighting up.
Twelve days later, all of these will become more complete and stable.
The morning of the twelfth day was unlike any other day before.
When Su Fan woke up, it was still dark.
The golden light of Mars was still buried below the root of the eastern membrane and had not yet risen, while the purple-gold halo in the direction of the Guixu Crack was exceptionally bright during the darkest period before dawn.
The color of that halo was noticeably different from ten days ago—a thick layer of silver-gray mixed color had been added to the purple-gold base, and underneath the silver-gray, a layer of extremely fine silver-white threads was slowly flowing.
The entire seed glowed deep within the crack, like a fruit of law slowly changing color from the inside.
He sat up and got dressed.
The silver-gray line on the left palm glowed with a very stable five-colored mixed fluorescence in the dim light, and the fluorescence was a little brighter than a few days ago.
The purple-gold threads inside the cable moved even faster last night, faster than he had ever felt on any other day, like a compressed file making a huge sprint in the final decompression stage.
When he put on his coat and walked to the entrance of the weapons shop, A Dou was already squatting on the threshold, with a small axe across his knees. The fusion of the silver-gray lines and the gray-white halo was nearly 80% complete, and the boundary between the two laws was almost invisible.
"Today is the last day."
The sound of the Ruins came from the direction of the Ruins Crack, carrying something extremely rare that Su Fan had never heard in his tone before.
That layer of something seemed to be both anticipation and solemnity, like the earnest quiet of something that had been waited for for a very long time and was finally about to arrive.
Su Fan did not eat breakfast.
He carried the Pangu Axe directly to the White Rock Terrace.
Eros was already standing at the edge of the crack, all ten law patterns on his hands were activated, and the light screen formed by the dark purple beams showed the thickness reading of the inner layer of the seed.
The readings kept fluctuating—with each heartbeat, the thickness of the interlayer decreased by an extremely small layer, a little faster than yesterday, and much faster than the day before.
Based on the rate of decay of the readings, the interlayer will completely disappear by noon today.
"Twelve days ago, the thickness of the interlayer was half of what it used to be."
Ten days ago, it was reduced to a quarter.
Five days ago, the weight was reduced to one-tenth.
It decreased to one percent early this morning.
The reduction is still ongoing.
Before noon, the interlayer will be thinner than the minimum measurable thickness of the law level.
Below that threshold, the interlayer no longer exists.
The two impregnation layers will come into direct contact, and after contact, the mixed data on both sides will automatically merge into a complete unified data volume.
The third piece of data will grow from the location of the anchor point.
The growth rate will be extremely fast—the moment the fusion is complete, a large number of new law structures will be generated around the anchor point instantly.
Those new structures will rearrange all the data inside the seed in a very short time.
Once the arrangement is complete, the seeds will officially become five-colored.
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack and reached his hand in.
His fingers touched the halo on the seed's surface, which had turned into a mixture of purple, gold, silver, white, and gray. When his fingertips touched it, he could feel the temperature inside the seed steadily and evenly rising.
The increase is not large but it remains stable. With each heartbeat, the temperature rises slightly, and it should reach a new equilibrium temperature by noon.
He could already sense the expected final temperature of that layer through the decompression state of the compressed package in the silver-gray line in his palm—the total heat released by the compressed package at the moment of complete decompression was exactly equal to all the heat required for the seed to eventually reach equilibrium temperature.
The two are a perfect match.
A Dou and Xu also squatted down.
Five people squatted around the edge of the crack, surrounding the seed that kept changing color, and no one spoke.
In the dim light of dawn, Baiyan Terrace glowed with a mixture of five colors, a fluorescent layer that stretched from the surface of the terrace all the way to the base of the South Heavenly Gate city wall, covering the brick surface with an extremely thin and uniform film of light.
The golden patterns on the city wall shone with a stable warm gold color under the light film. The warm gold tone and the purplish gold layer in the light film blended together perfectly, making them indistinguishable.
The sun slowly rises in the east.
When the golden light of Mars spread from the base of the membrane, the law-based fluorescence on the white rock plateau brightened by an entire color level.
But the seed's aura remains unchanged—it doesn't need external light to alter its brightness; its internal heat and data continuously generate light.
The integration process entered its final sprint near noon.
Su Fan could sense the decompression of the compressed file through the silver-gray line in his palm, and the purple-gold threads inside were moving so fast that he could hardly see the individual trajectory of each thread. All the threads were connected into a continuous stream of light.
The colors of the light stream changed rapidly, from purple-gold to silver-white to silver-gray and then to a mixture of five colors all overlapping, the frequency of the change perfectly synchronized with the heartbeat.
At noon, the moment the golden light of Mars shone vertically above the South Heavenly Gate city wall, a layer of law ripples, thicker than ever before, appeared on the surface of the five-colored mixed radiance in Su Fan's chest.
As the ripples spread outward from the center of the glow, they brought with them a very deep and stable vibration.
The source of the vibration was not in his chest cavity, but in the very center of the seed deep within the crack—the thickness reading of the diaphragm dropped to zero at that moment.
Nothing happened for a very short instant after the system was reset to zero.
It was as if the world paused for a moment during that one heartbeat.
Then a bright light burst forth from inside the seed.
The light spread outward from the anchor point at the very center of the seed, spreading at a speed countless times faster than a heartbeat.
As the light spread through the halo layer on the seed's surface, Su Fan saw the seed's color instantly transform from a mixture of four colors—purple, gold, silver, white, silver, and gray—to a mixture of five colors.
The extra layer of color is new.
The extra layer of color is a completely new color formed by mixing the color of the core layer of the original law at the deepest part of the old domain core, the color of the earliest spontaneous breathing of the primordial law life form, and the colors of all the new structures that naturally grew during the contact between the two.
That color has no single source to which it corresponds.
It is something new that grows out after everything is stacked together.
The third data volume inside the seed grew out from the anchor point the instant the light spread.
The growth rate was indeed as fast as Xu had predicted—so fast that in the blink of an eye, the new data body had expanded from around the anchor point to every corner of the seed's internal space.
There is no conflict, no gap, and no discomfort between the new data volume and the original two data volumes.
It's like a structure that should have been there a long time ago has finally grown into place.
The compressed file within the silver-gray line completed its final decompression at the same instant the seed changed to five colors.
The purple-gold threads inside the thread all stopped moving at that moment.
After stopping, the threads remained still for less than the time it takes for one heartbeat in the underlying structure of the silver-gray lines, and then all the threads simultaneously began to flow in a new direction.
The new direction is completely different from the old direction—the old direction is the data reading flow when the compressed file is decompressed, while the new direction is the stable loop flow after all the data has been decompressed.
The new flow rhythm is a little slower than the old one, but it is more profound, stable, and enduring.
It's like the steady, continuous beating of the heart after a rapid, rapid beat has subsided.
Su Fan turned his left hand over and looked at his palm.
The silver-gray line now glows with a stable, mixed-color fluorescence in the light.
The purple-gold silk threads inside the thread have become a stable, continuously circulating flow, without any rapid surges or changes.
The temperature of the line stabilized at a level completely consistent with the temperature of the seed surface and remained unchanged.
The fusion of the lines and his palm prints was completed the moment the compressed file was fully unzipped. Now the boundary between the silver-gray lines and the palm prints has completely disappeared, and the two textures have completely merged into a single continuous layer of law-based patterns.
"The fusion is complete."
Xu's voice was very soft.
The seeds have turned five colors.
The third data block is ready.
The data from the deepest, original core layer of the Old Domain has found its complete form in the Primordial World.
All six sets of data are in place.
The core of the old domain now exists simultaneously within the original halo inside the old domain and in the locations of the five data variants on the primordial side.
All six are operating simultaneously.
The rhythm of their operation is completely synchronized.
From now on, there will no longer be a distinction between 'data from the old domain' and 'data from the primordial era'.
All the data has been mixed into one thing.
That thing is currently sealed inside the seed and within the five lines.
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack without moving.
He watched as the five-colored halo on the seed's surface shone with an extremely steady light in the midday sun.
The four engravings on the dark gold fluorescent layer on the surface of the halo are arranged side by side—the initial smiling arc is next to the golden light pattern, the golden light pattern is next to the melody code, and the melody code is next to the silver-gray forecast line.
Under the illumination of the five-colored halo, the four engravings each shone with different depths of light, but when all the light was superimposed, they formed a complete five-colored composite light band.
The light band extends from the seed surface to the White Rock Terrace, from the White Rock Terrace to the South Heavenly Gate City Wall, and from the city wall to every single person.
A Dou looked down at the halo of light emanating from the axe blade.
The silver-gray lines have completely blended into the gray-white halo, and the boundary between the lines and the halo no longer exists.
The axe blade aura is now a continuous glow of a five-colored mixed law-like light.
Eros looked at his fingertips, where the transparent law patterns had all transformed into a mixture of five colors.
Xu looked down at his palm, where the silver-gray grid of the diagram was filled with a mixture of five colors of light.
The data variants on each individual have completed the fusion of the outer wall.
Each line is integrated with its respective carrier.
Su Fan stood up and hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder.
He walked back to the South Heavenly Gate city wall and squatted down by the crenellations.
The wind blew in from the top of the city wall.
The five-colored mixed lines in his palm shone with a steady light in the wind.
The seed's five-colored halo shone steadily deep within the crack.
The halo around the core of the old domain shone steadily even in the far depths of the void.
Six light sources simultaneously illuminate the same layer of mixed five colors at six different locations.
All the light is superimposed on the same heartbeat frequency.
All the lights were shining quietly.
