95: Rule Engine

Capturing Voldemort for experiments provided Ye Feng with some minor system rewards.

This time, after returning to the Super God World, the entire world remained relatively peaceful, even with Hua Ye not jumping out to cause trouble.

But the calmer it was, the more the major civilizations could feel the undercurrents lurking in the universe quietly surging.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng integrated his research on divinity particles.

Combining his previously acquired knowledge and technology, he merged divinity particles with his understanding of the mysteries of rules to create a special rule-tech artifact.

The rule engine!

The rule engine was like a large Golden Core—round, yet capable of directly carrying the power of rules.

Furthermore, it was a growth-type existence that could accommodate all rules.

The rule engine would be the true core of Ye Feng's rule power in the future.

However, the current rule engine was only at the most basic entry level; measuring it with numbers, it would be more accurate to call it rule engine Version 0.01.

But he was troubled by how to equip this technological artifact more safely and efficiently.

Ye Feng analyzed all his available methods, but he consistently found that these equipment methods were unreliable and carried the risk of being stolen.

What he wanted was an absolutely stable connection—a way for the rule engine to belong to him forever once equipped.

Finding no solution within his known knowledge, Ye Feng decided to traverse worlds once again, heading to a medium-sized world to try the methods there.

Moreover, the power path of that world was on the same track as Ye Feng's telekinetic power!

The space-time gate opened again, and he traversed to this world with Ah Li and the others.

As for the neutron war star, he placed it within his Middle Dantian world.

This world possessed a special transcendent power known as Heaven and Earth Vital Qi!

Heaven and Earth Vital Qi could manipulate everything between heaven and earth, exerting power no less than divine power.

In Ye Feng's eyes, however, this Heaven and Earth Vital Qi was a variant of dark energy—more active than ordinary dark energy and much scarcer.

This was an ancient version of a continental-type world.

The world was surrounded by a boundless ocean, with a massive central continent in the middle that supported the proliferation of humans and various other lives.

Most notably, this world had a God!

Its name was Haotian.

This world also had a supreme master who founded an Academy; his name was the Confucius!

In the human world, there was even a saying: 'If Heaven had not given birth to the Confucius, eternity would be like a long night.'

In this world, there were also four most powerful transcendent forces that had stood for nearly a thousand years, known as the Unknowable Places.

There were the Zhishou Abbey of Peach Mountain, the Second Floor of the Academy, the Demon Sect of Daming Lake, and the Hanging Temple of the West!

There were also smaller forces like the Sword Pavilion, Mo Chi Garden, and numerous cultivation clans.

Ye Feng came to this world solely to seek a special technique of this world—a technique concerning how he would equip the rule engine.

There was a great nation in this world called Tang.

In Great Tang, the gates of Chang'an were wide open, and countless people lined up to enter the city.

Ye Feng's group also arrived at the city gate.

However, they did not choose to enter the city, but instead observed the entire city of Chang'an.

In Ye Feng's eyes, the originally disordered Heaven and Earth Vital Qi between heaven and earth became orderly upon entering Chang'an, following a specific pattern to merge into the entire city.

Every brick, tile, blade of grass, and tree in Chang'an hid powerful Heaven and Earth Vital Qi.

This was a super fortress composed of Heaven and Earth Vital Qi, or what people in a fantasy world would call a supreme grand array.

The power it contained, accumulated over nearly a thousand years, was incredibly vast.

An ordinary person would find it impossible to see through the flow of this Heaven and Earth Vital Qi, as the grand array itself had the function of shielding against detection.

Ye Feng was an exception; standing there, he easily saw through the operational mysteries of the entire Vermilion Bird Array.

At the same time, he felt that this grand array was like an artificial intelligence, already possessing the wisdom of life.

Ye Feng observed the array for a while but did not choose to enter the city.

Entering the city required inspection by the garrison soldiers, and they might demand various benefits for entry.

If you didn't give them, you might be labeled a spy from another country.

Ye Feng didn't have much interest in Chang'an, even though the protagonist of this world and Haotian's avatar were both in the city.

His group went directly to the Academy outside the south gate of Chang'an.

“Yu Lian, go to the gate to welcome them; we have guests.”

At that moment, Yu Lian, who was copying books on the Second Floor, suddenly heard the Confucius's instruction. Her heart stirred with a hint of curiosity.

In this world, there were very few people whom the Confucius would call guests and have her personally welcome.

Moreover, those she was sent to welcome were mostly people who didn't have much to do with the West Tomb or the Buddhist Sect.

When Yu Lian arrived at the gate of the Academy, she saw three young people and a little girl walking toward the gate.

The auras of these individuals were very well-hidden, yet they gave Yu Lian a very dangerous feeling.

The arrivals were indeed Ye Feng, Ah Li, Qi Lin, and Rui Rui.

The group didn't hide their telekinetic auras, and their telekinetic power was extremely strong, as deep and immeasurable as the ocean.

In this world, only someone at the level of the Confucius could see the depth of their telekinetic power. Even if they didn't hide it, their telekinesis was like a frozen lake, rarely showing a ripple, making it hard for others to gauge their strength.

They came to the Academy together specifically to see the vast collection of books here.

“Guests, the Confucius invites you. Please follow me,” Yu Lian said.

Ye Feng didn't mind. Since he hadn't hidden himself, it wasn't surprising that the Confucius could observe their presence.

the Confucius was very powerful, having reached the limit of this world.

In terms of telekinetic power alone, his strength was roughly equivalent to the Quasi-Fourth Generation Divine Body level. the Confucius was limited by the upper bound of this world, not by his own potential!

After traversing ancient-style stone paths, stone bridges, bamboo forests, and mountain trails, the group finally arrived at the Back Mountain of the Academy.

This place was covered by layers of mist, which was the Cloud and Mist Array protecting the Academy.

the Confucius received the group in a thatched cottage. The thatch used for this cottage was a type of golden thatch that the Confucius had snatched from the Zhishou Abbey, which had accumulated it over ten thousand years.

It was one of the spiritual grasses that appeared under the nourishment of the Heaven and Earth Vital Qi in this world, and could be considered a transcendent plant.

This was what one would call low-key luxury.

He clearly used the most basic thatched cottage, but the materials on it were things that no amount of gold or silver could buy outside.

The group soon met the strongest figure in this world.

He was the strongest existence beneath Haotian—the Confucius.

the Confucius had a head of white hair and the relaxed, natural posture of a scholar. Standing behind him was a scholar in plain robes with a water ladle tied to his waist.

After leading them here, Yu Lian did not leave; she was very curious about Ye Feng's group.

And the Confucius did not send her away.

“Guests from beyond the heavens, please take a seat!”

the Confucius immediately revealed their identity as people not from this world. After all, Ye Feng and the others hadn't disguised themselves, and their auras, distinct from those of this world, were very obvious.

Upon meeting, both sides began to size each other up, observing information about the other.

Ye Feng didn't mind. His purpose for coming would not cause any harm to the Confucius and the others.

He believed that with the Confucius's temperament and wisdom, he would not refuse his request.
