97: Chapter 97 The Upgrade and Initial Glimpse into the Origins of the Permanent World

The process of the [Numerology Maze] promoting to Rank B triggered a resonance at the level of the Source, its influence far exceeding simple internal strengthening.

The entire "Fantasy Adventure World" attached to the maze was having its existential foundation reinforced and elevated by an invisible force.

Its structural rules became denser and more stable, and the Dream Power flowing through the space grew increasingly majestic and pure, even faintly carrying an ancient rhythm concerning "trajectories" and "connections."

Zhang Hao clearly perceived this essential change.

He realized that with the leap in the maze core's Rank, the world itself was spontaneously drawing closer to a certain "Source" that constituted the underlying Logic of all things.

" [Source] ... " He gazed at the pale golden trajectories and dark threads in the Void Realm that had become increasingly clear due to the world's ascension, whispering to himself, "Has the increase in the maze's Rank allowed me to draw slightly closer to it?"

He could not precisely define what the [Source] was, but as a [Maze Builder] and [Child of Numerology], he could feel that the world where this Rank B maze resided had reached an unprecedented level of affinity with [Fate] and [Karma].

Those invisible veins became more active and easier for his Talent to capture and analyze, as if the entire world had become an excellent medium for him to understand his own authority.

Most importantly, Zhang Hao knew deeply that the [Numerology Maze] he managed was not one of those ordinary Dream Mission Worlds that would gradually dissipate and return to nothingness after the Hosts completed their tasks.

It was one of the few [Permanent Dream Task Worlds] capable of existing stably, continuously accepting consciousness projections from new Hosts, and evolving according to rules.

It was precisely this "permanent" and "continuously evolving" characteristic that made the [Numerology Maze] world itself, on the macro level of the Dream World, an active node that constantly absorbed Host emotions, catalyzed changes in Talent, and generated a large amount of "possibilities" and "variables."

And at this moment, because of its Rank B essence and its proximity to the [Fate] and [Karma] [Source], the world's own "sense of existence" and "influence" seemed to have reached a critical point, as if a star whose brightness had surged, beginning to emit unique and hard-to-ignore ripples of rules.

Zhang Hao vaguely felt that there seemed to be some invisible existence, more grand and encompassing an infinite torrent of "variables," whose "gaze" seemed to sweep over this world that had become extraordinary, as if present yet not.

He could not identify what it was, but the feeling was fleeting, leaving behind only a subtle premonition that the world itself was being incorporated into a broader picture.

His attention returned to the [maze builder panel], focusing on that which awaited development—the fourth underground level.

"A Rank B maze, on par with my own Talent Rank..." the Logic Core calmly deduced, "In this permanent and continuously evolving world, the maze serving as its core promoting to Rank B means the soil for nurturing more Advanced Talents is now ready... There is a theoretical foundation to catalyze an A-Rank Talent."

This conclusion made a sharp light flash in his eyes.

If an A-Rank Talent could be born on this stage woven by him, then his goal of completing this exclusive task and achieving "evolution" rather than "strengthening" was almost within reach.

"The road to leaving here is becoming clearer and clearer."

No longer hesitating, with a thought, a massive amount of [maze construction points] began to be invested on an unprecedented scale!

The goal—plan and build the fourth underground level!

He wanted to build an ultimate Rank B stage on this land, which, due to the maze's ascension, was closer to the [Source] and served as the core of a Permanent Dream Task World.

This place would not only be a proving ground for challenges and opportunities, but also a key step for him to verify his understanding of the [Source], explore the ultimate potential of his Talent, and complete his own mission.

A new chapter officially began amidst the ascension of the permanent world and the Weaver's clear outlook on the journey home.
