205: Chapter 206 The God Wants to Take the System Down with Him, Jiang Cheng First Finds Her a Morgue

[Mother of All Things self-destruct protocol initiated]

[Divine body disintegration will drag the underlying National Class Transfer System into the abyss together]

When these words lit up, the 72 abyss entrances collapsed inward simultaneously.

They were not rushing into reality.

They were pulling into the darkness.

The bypass stations that had just been propped up began to emit shrill metallic shrieks, one after another.

The brass connecting ring at Station No. 1 was being dragged into the gate, and the screws on the ring popped off one by one like teeth.

Meng Huai had just retreated to the side when he was sucked back half a step, sparks flying from his boot soles grinding against the ground.

"It's not pressure!"

He shouted hoarsely.

"It's pulling back!"

At Station No. 3 of The First Hospital, all monitors were flashing.

A thin golden thread emerged from the Career System badges on the children, patients, and medical staff, connecting like an umbilical cord to the No. 9 Forbidden Zone.

Fang Ning had just steadied the incubator when the entire unit was dragged toward the corner of the wall.

It wasn't the Mother of All Things trying to pick someone up.

It was the Mother of All Things wanting to die and taking everything that had ever been connected to her down with her.

In the Rest Station, chairs were no longer sliding toward the delivery room, but sinking directly into the cracks in the floor.

The chalk circles in the old classroom were torn apart by darkness from the seams.

Behind the blackboard in Qinghe County came a cracking sound, as if a hand on the other side was prying the entire blackboard into the depths.

The Mainframe screen turned completely red.

Cheng Du looked at the diagram, his voice revealing true fear for the first time.

"It's not recycling."

"It's dragging everything to the grave."

The foundation of the National Class Transfer System wasn't in any single city.

It was like an old net spread beneath the Career System badges of the entire world, with one end tied to the class-holders and the other still stuck in the divine body.

Once the Mother of All Things fell completely into the abyss, this net would be dragged down with her.

At that point, it wouldn't just be as simple as classes failing.

Everything maintained by classes—medical care, lighting, protection, memory interfaces, bypass stations, abyss sealing—would be like having bricks pulled out from under their foundations.

Lin Jin gripped the new tool, his palms covered in blood.

"Cut the net?"

Cheng Du roared directly:

"You can't cut it!"

"The 72 Stations can hold on now because the underlying net is still supporting the reality interfaces."

"If you cut it forcibly, all the Career System interfaces in the world will break simultaneously."

"Then we'll detach the net from the divine body."

Cheng Du looked at him, his eyes widening.

"Uninstall it?"

Lin Jin stared in the direction of the No. 9 Forbidden Zone.

"She can die."

"But the system is not a burial object."

Deep within the Sky Gate, the divine body of the Mother of All Things continued to collapse backward.

Her sternum bones snapped one by one, and her golden divine blood was swallowed by the black tide of the abyss, making a sound like water poured into fire.

The voice of the God Head core was intermittent, yet still cold.

"Mother unit ending."

"Sub-systems to be buried."

"All classes, all naming, all paths, all born from me."

"Those born of me shall terminate with me."

Lin Jin looked up.

"You gave them classes."

"But later, they used those classes to save people, build roads, hold classes, rest, refuse, make mistakes, and choose again."

"Those things do not belong in your grave."

The God Head did not argue.

It accelerated its descent.

The 72 Stations were all pulled to tilt toward the abyss.

Cheng Du frantically tapped on the Mainframe.

"No time for arguing!"

"Find the burial relationship!"

Luo Wensheng's pen tip flew across the paper.

She dragged a line of old definition out of the fragmented data.

[Mother unit termination = sub-systems buried with it]

[Sub-system scope: National Class Transfer System foundation, Career System naming interface, initial adaptation net, the 72 maintenance holes, all class-holders not yet detached]

He Zhibai looked at it, his expression darkening.

"The scope is too large."

"It has listed everyone in the world who still uses classes as burial objects."

Ye Guizhou gritted his teeth and stamped:

[Being included in the scope does not equal personal consent to be buried]

But as the stamp fell, it only slowed the golden thread down a little.

Not enough.

Because this wasn't a sign-off.

This was a foundational will.

Teacher Xu Wenzhou came over carrying work order no. 002, his face pale.

"Cut the burial relationship."

Cheng Du said sternly:

"If you cut the wrong thing, the underlying net will drop immediately!"

Lin Jin pressed the new tool onto the Mainframe, and six slots lit up simultaneously.

"Then we won't cut the net."

"Cut the 'buried with it' part."

He looked at all the stations still on the communication line.

"The 72 Stations, listen up."

"This isn't the time to prove independence."

"It's about finding a temporary docking point for the Career System."

"Each station will hold a section of the net."

"It doesn't belong to you."

"Just hold it temporarily; don't let it fall with the divine body."

At Station No. 1, Meng Huai gritted his teeth and pulled the brass connecting ring back, blood instantly seeping through the bandages on his hands.

"How do we hold it?"

Lin Jin said:

"Like the pressure gauge earlier."

"Report which section you can hold."

"If you can't hold it, transfer it."

"Empty structures can hold empty structures; people cannot be used as hooks."

Cheng Du immediately unfolded the foundational network diagram.

"The Career System naming interface is divided into 72 sections."

"Jiangcheng can only hold three sections."

"Hai City can hold the coastal Awakening Tower section."

"Beiyuan can hold the mining area class chain."

"Nanling can hold the medical interface."

"Qinghe County can hold the training pre-awakening cache."

Lin Jin grabbed work order no. 002.

"Every location sign for temporary support, do not sign for ownership."

Luo Wensheng wrote:

[Temporary support agreement]

[Object: National Class Transfer System underlying interface sections for each location]

[Purpose: Prevent falling into the abyss with the divine body]

[Support does not equal ownership, does not equal Mother unit, does not equal new center]

Ye Guizhou stamped:

[Support received]

[Does not constitute ownership]

He Zhibai added:

[Support loss will be recorded in public accounts; can be transferred, withdrawn, or repaired]

Receipts from various locations quickly came flooding back.

Wind howled from Intern Liang Yu's side in Hai City.

"Hai City No. 1 holds the coastal Awakening Tower interface section!"

"The drainage channel will act as a no-load buffer; guardrails will rotate!"

Old Miner in Beiyuan roared:

"Beiyuan holds the current mining area class chain section!"

"The list of the dead will not be included in the support!"

Director of Obstetrics in Nanling:

"Nanling holds the medical support interface!"

"Patients will not be used as support points!"

Teacher Song Qing in Qinghe County:

"Qinghe County holds the pre-awakening learning cache!"

"Students will not be used as samples!"

One by one, local support points lit up.

The foundational net was no longer just being dragged into the abyss by the Mother of All Things; it was also being hooked bit by bit by the rough, messy, and temporary means of various locations.

But the divine body was too large.

Its backward falling force was still bending all the support points.

[Burial relationship still valid]

[Mother unit termination priority]

Lin Jin looked at that definition line.

"Teacher Xu."

Teacher Xu Wenzhou raised work order no. 002.

"This time you have to press it steady."

Lin Jin nodded and gripped the new tool with both hands.

"Pressure bearing."

Chen Ye pressed down on the slot.

"Shield bearing pressure, two minutes."

"Energy conduction."

Shen Tingxue and Zhou Heng responded simultaneously.

Frost cooled the edges of the golden thread, and currents of lightning dispersed the impact of the fall to the various support points.

"Record."

Luo Wensheng's pen hovered over the paper.

"Record the source of every section of support."

"Verification."

He Zhibai flipped through the accounts.

"Burial is not a cost-processing method."

"Handover."

Ye Guizhou raised his stamp.

"Temporary support can be withdrawn and cannot be inherited as divine power."

Lin Jin clamped the new tool onto that golden definition.

[Mother unit termination = sub-systems buried with it]

Teacher Xu Wenzhou's work order no. 002 slashed down from above.

Crack!

The definition cracked.

But it didn't break.

The backlash instantly surged into The 72 Stations.

The wall behind Meng Huai at Station No. 1 exploded.

One-third of the blackboard in Qinghe County shattered directly.

The drainage channel in Hai City sprayed out golden seawater.

The backup power at The First Hospital in Nanling flashed red across the board.

Cheng Du roared:

"It's using the foundational net to protect the definition!"

"Cutting the definition is equivalent to tearing the net!"

Lin Jin gritted his teeth, his wrists nearly broken by the shock.

"Then we add a sentence."

He stared at the cracked definition line, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

"Mother unit termination."

"Does not equal sub-system termination."

"Mother unit remains should be processed in isolation."

"Sub-systems enter temporary support."

Luo Wensheng wrote it down almost immediately.

Ye Guizhou stamped it.

He Zhibai added:

[Remains processing costs shall not be paid by the burial]

Cheng Du looked up abruptly.

"The morgue!"

Everyone was stunned.

Cheng Du's eyes brightened, as if he had grasped something.

"The divine body cannot fall directly into the abyss, nor can it be reconnected to the system."

"We must give it an isolation location first."

"Not a delivery room, not a mother unit, not a grave."

"It's a shutdown containment chamber!"

Lin Jin immediately looked toward the No. 9 Forbidden Zone.

That was originally a delivery room.

And also the most dangerous place.

But the delivery room could no longer be called a delivery room.

"Rename the deepest part of the No. 9 Forbidden Zone."

He said.

"Temporary isolation chamber for the remains of the Mother of All Things."

Cheng Du immediately connected to the Mainframe.

"The 72 Stations, reverse lock the gates!"

"Do not let the divine body drag the system in."

"Direct the collapse route of the divine body toward the deep cavity of the No. 9 Forbidden Zone."

"Seal all interfaces after disconnecting."

Hai City replied:

"The drainage channel cannot guide the divine body!"

Cheng Du roared:

"I'm not asking you to guide the divine body, guide your section of the foundational net!"

Beiyuan replied:

"The mining area interface is held, but the shadow of the divine bone is still grabbing."

Lin Jin shouted:

"Tag the divine bone shadow as remains!"

Old Miner was stunned for a second, then took mining dust and wrote on the wall:

[Divine bone remnant, not mining crew]

[Not allowed to enter the on-duty network]

The golden thread loosened a section.

Various locations began to do the same.

[Divine lung remnant, not Hai City wind system interface]

[Divine throat remnant, not Qinghe County classroom sound]

[Divine hand remnant, not Nurse operating rights]

[Divine eye remnant, not local patrol viewing rights]

All the organ remnants that had ever been borrowed by the divine body were marked out of the local systems one by one and directed toward the deep cavity of the No. 9 Forbidden Zone.

The falling speed of the Mother of All Things finally slowed down.

It didn't stop.

It changed from "dragging the world to die together" to "falling alone toward the remains isolation chamber."

The God Head core erupted with a shrill, piercing sound.

"I am not remains."

"I am the Mother unit."

Lin Jin looked up, his eyes cold and bright.

"If you want to live, don't drag others to die with you."

"If you want to die, enter the isolation chamber first."

The new tool pressed down again.

Teacher Xu Wenzhou's second slash fell.

Snap!

[Mother unit termination = sub-systems buried with it] finally broke.

A new rewrite covered it.

[Divine body self-destruction must not automatically implicate the National Class Transfer System foundation.]

[National Class Transfer System enters multi-location temporary support state.]

[Mother of All Things divine body enters No. 9 Forbidden Zone deep remains isolation process.]

The 72 Stations shook simultaneously.

The foundational net disconnected.

The Career System badges worldwide flickered.

Very dim.

Very unstable.

But it didn't fall.

Before everyone in Jiangcheng could even catch their breath, a white-gold door suddenly lit up deep within the No. 9 Forbidden Zone.

A new process appeared on the door.

[Remains isolation requires death confirmation]

[Confirmation object: Mother of All Things]

[Confirmers allowed: God Head independent remnant, first blade executor, current holder of the gods heart]

The Main Control Room was dead silent.

Everyone's gaze fell on three people simultaneously.

Yu Xing.

Lin Shoushan.

And the gods heart inside the heart pump chamber, still locked by temporary mechanical valves.

The next second, the voice of the God Head core sounded softly.

"Who will prove—"

"That Mother is already dead?"
