143: Chapter 141 Attempting to Implement

The optimization and update plan for the Fate Platform had been finalized, but Yang Hang was not in a hurry to take action.

He leaned back against the backrest of the chair in the Houseboat, his fingertips tapping rhythmically against the tabletop.

No matter how good a plan was, it had to be implementable.

To implement so many functions, it would inevitably require a large number of skills or items to serve as plugins or sources of ability for the Fate Platform's construction.

Considering historical legacy issues and the fact that the Sequence Battle was not currently in a state of emergency, he did not intend to fish for other Survivors' sunken sea treasure chests for the time being.

Yang Hang broke down the Fate Platform optimization plan by order of priority.

The core AI of the Combat Assistance System had high quality requirements, so he planned to reserve tomorrow's sunken sea treasure chest for it.

The main body of the Life Platform Peripheral Terminal did not require very high quality, and there were various ways to implement it.

It did not necessarily need a sunken sea treasure chest.

He could directly use Karma to create it; anchoring it to become the "future" of the Fate Platform's offline terminal exterior using some material as a starting point was one way.

This method was the most direct, but the consumption of Power of Causality was extremely high.

Even if it were made, most Survivors would find it difficult to bear the cost.

Therefore, Yang Hang discarded it and chose another indirect plan.

His thinking was always that of a person from modern society; abandoning modern thinking would be foolish.

Rather than brute-forcing the consumption of Karma, it would be better to go to the Karmic Trading Realm and scout for a ready-made production line.

Assembly lines for smartwatches, wristbands, or other wearable devices would all work; after acquiring them, he could strengthen them to Gold Tier quality in one go and produce the carriers for the Life Platform Peripheral Terminal.

He would save a precious spot for a sunken sea treasure chest, perfectly achieve his goal, and save a large amount of Power of Causality.

Killing three birds with one stone.

However, the terminal exterior was only the first step; more importantly, it was how to make the Fate Platform functions execute normally within the built-in System.

Spatial Backpack, simple to implement.

Directly open up an independent space for every factory-produced Fate Platform terminal and connect it through simple UI buttons.

Once the space was fixed, it could be used in an offline state. Of course, expanding the space would still require connecting to the Fate Platform main body in the Karmic Void Realm.

magic sea compass, Numerical Panel, three-colored life spring, food god shrine... these were a bit more complicated.

Their essence was various strange items or abilities embedded in the Fate Platform (or rather, Yang Hang's own body), and they did not have the function of directly differentiating and executing independently.

After repeated thinking, Yang Hang came up with some solutions.

Attempt to find items with similar abilities that could help these abilities or items differentiate into small Clones. But he felt the hope was slim.

Or utilize a concept that emerged in his mind, which he named "Dislocated Space-Time".

Why call it "Dislocated Space-Time"?

Simply put, since it was difficult to realize the independence of items or abilities and endow them to the Life Platform Peripheral Terminal, then bypass this problem.

To make the offline Fate Platform terminal function, essentially, it meant allowing it to perform Fate Platform functions even when offline.

And what is the essence of the Power of Causality?

It is "Cause" and "Effect".

As the talent carrier for the Lord of Causality, manipulating Karma was Yang Hang's instinct.

He envisioned moving the complete causal lines of everyone using the Fate Platform terminal to perform various functions while online in the future forward, overlapping with the battle timeline of Survivors in the Sequence War consciousness space.

In this way, set up an automatic matching program.

As long as a Survivor attempts to use a certain function of the Fate Platform in the consciousness space, the timeline where he truly performs that function in the future while the Fate Platform terminal is online will automatically match.

Thus, the Life Platform Peripheral Terminal would actually exhibit the real effect of being activated and performing the Fate Platform functions.

However, a concept is ultimately just a concept; there was an uncertain factor in it, similar to "Schrödinger's Cat".

When the real function execution timeline overlaps with the execution behavior timeline in the consciousness space—

Would the display of the Fate Platform ability be completed within the consciousness space according to his vision?

Or could another situation arise?

Even if the external Fate Platform terminal main body was not actually activated, would the Fate Platform function still ultimately display on the Survivor's own peripheral terminal?

Yang Hang analyzed the probability of the two outcomes, which was roughly 60/40.

Because the external Life Platform Peripheral Terminal always lacked the specific process of "being actually activated," it could not form a complete logic for the execution of the Fate Platform functions, i.e., "Fate Platform activation → ability display."

Moreover, the display of abilities required energy; when he manipulated the transfer of causal lines, he would deliberately control it, not providing extra energy, but only providing the "display process."

Without energy, the entire process should be in a frozen state.

Therefore, he believed the probability of the Fate Platform function finally displaying in the consciousness space was greater.

Thinking of this, Yang Hang stopped fantasizing and started practical operations directly.

First, he arranged for the Divided Soul responsible for monitoring the Fate Platform to start summarizing data and simultaneously search for suitable smart terminal production lines, as well as those strange items that could allow his items or abilities to differentiate and exist independently.

As for himself, he directly used a smartwatch for monitoring physical status that came with the ultra-luxurious Houseboat as a carrier to attempt the "Dislocated Space-Time Method."

The process was not complicated; if it succeeded, it would be best; if it failed, he would think of other ways.

Yang Hang raised his recliner a bit, changing to a half-sitting, half-lying position.

The Bionic Maid sensibly retreated two steps away.

He stretched his left hand out to the side, his palm sinking into the space, and when it appeared again, his palm already held a smartwatch that looked quite high-end.

The dial was not big, with a matte black metal casing, and a fingernail-sized touchscreen on the front, with heart rate numbers jumping in real-time.

The watch itself only had three function buttons.

One was body temperature monitoring. One was blood oxygen monitoring. One was heart rate alarm.

Yang Hang raised his right index finger, tapped into the function interface of the heart rate alarm, and changed the name of this button from "Heart Rate Alarm" to "magic sea compass" in the System settings.

After changing it, the button on the interface that was originally marked with a red heart rate icon had its name changed to four characters—magic sea compass.

Of course, at this moment, it was just a name.

Pressing it would only trigger the original heart rate alarm function and had nothing to do with the magic sea compass.

Yang Hang put it on his wrist and closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank into the Karmic Void Realm.

That eternally surging River of Causality came into view; majestic essence, Qi, and spirit converged into a rushing golden river, winding and flowing endlessly in the darkness of the Void Realm.

He extended his will and separated a tributary from the River of Causality.

The golden energy peeled away from the main river channel like a thin thread, wrapping gently around his consciousness, following his guidance.

The next moment, the Power of Causality operated.

He began to anchor two nodes in the Void Realm.

The first node—the moment the "magic sea compass" button on the watch was pressed; this was the "Cause."

The second node—the moment the magic sea compass function in the Fate Platform main body was activated and began to be performed; this was the "Effect."

Between the two, there was originally the entire execution architecture of the Cause and Effect Fate Platform, separated by a series of complex intermediate processes such as online connection, energy allocation, function reading, etc.

But who was he?

Did he need these complex processes?

He only needed to connect the "Cause" and the "Effect" directly.

Then, move the time node of the "Effect" on this causal line forward from the point in time when the Survivor would normally use the Fate Platform while online in the future.

Move it to the point where the Survivor pressed the button in the Sequence War consciousness space.

Let the future magic sea compass execution process overlap with the current usage behavior in the consciousness space.

The golden tributary energy poured into between the two nodes, and a slender causal line formed in the Void Realm. It was not long, or one could even say it was very short. But the two ends of the connection spanned time dimensions.

Yang Hang opened his eyes and looked down at the watch.

The interface had not changed at all; it was still that ordinary black watch face. But he knew that this thing was no longer completely the original body monitor.

At least it had an extra brand-new function.
