145: Koi Snacks and Logic Storm

Long Qianyuan piloted his Chaos flying boat, wobbling back to the Cloud Court, fully loaded with a pile of "pollution source" bottles bearing strange labels.

He parked the flying boat directly on the plaza outside the Star Gazing Hall, and then started laboriously unloading the bottles and jars.

Nie Li rushed over upon hearing the news.

Looking at the dazzling array of Sealed bottles on the ground, which emitted various chaotic and mixed auras, even his composure couldn't stop the corner of his mouth from twitching slightly.

"Qianyuan, did you... bring back the garbage dump from the Lower Realm?" Nie Li tried his best to keep his tone calm.

Long Qianyuan clapped non-existent dust from his hands, wearing an expression that screamed "praise me": "Chief Steward Nie, you wouldn't believe how lively it was down there!

All sorts of knock-off Systems, in every conceivable style!

Although they are all low-quality goods, the variety is comprehensive!

I figured I'd bring them back for Revered Master to look at.

Maybe they could serve as a negative example, or... hmm, melt them down for flower fertilizer?"

Nie Li looked at the extra-large bottle labeled "Card Plane, System Wholesaler (includes one portion of low-quality divinity material)," where countless light spots were still futilely crashing against the bottle walls.

He was silent for a moment, then said: "...I will go report to the Court Master first."

Behind the Star Gazing Hall, Yun Feng was still by his cherished pond.

However, today he wasn't feeding the fish or pruning the star-patterned bamboo; instead, he was holding a fishing rod, and was... fishing?

The hook was straight, and it was suspended a foot above the water surface, not submerged at all.

Nie Li bowed and reported Long Qianyuan's "haul."

Hearing this, Yun Feng finally moved his gaze away from his perpetually fish-less fishing rod and glanced toward the pile of "bottles and jars" in the direction of the plaza.

"Oh? He brought them back?" He didn't seem surprised, but rather slightly interested.

"Bring them over, let me take a look."

Long Qianyuan scurried over with the most "distinctive" bottles, introducing them like presenting treasures: "Revered Master, look, this one is from a cultivation plane, the Devouring stream, almost burst himself; this one is from a magic plane, turned himself into a monstrosity; and this one is the funniest, from the card plane, doing System wholesale, tried to condense a divinity but ended up destroying himself..."

Yun Feng's gaze swept over the bottles.

Especially when he sensed the faint, familiar logical imprint belonging to that "tiny speck of dust" at the core of those "system afterimage," a subtle smile seemed to curl at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm, they certainly put on a flashy show," Yun Feng commented.

Then, as if he thought of something, he instructed Long Qianyuan, "Go, open that 'Wholesaler' bottle."

Long Qianyuan opened the extra-large bottle as instructed.

In that instant, the countless system afterimage light spots and the chaotic energy Sealed inside were about to gush out!

Yet, Yun Feng simply waved his hand casually.

The restless light spots and energy were instantly grasped by an invisible large hand, compressed, purified, and refined... ultimately turning into a small pinch of "fish food" that shimmered with multicolored light but possessed an incredibly docile aura.

Yun Feng pinched a small amount of this special "fish food" and scattered it into the pond.

The several Koi in the pond, especially the one with the Golden marking on its forehead, immediately swam over happily, vying to swallow the light spots.

After consuming them, the brilliance flowing over their scales seemed slightly more spirited, and the Law ripples they created while swimming became increasingly clear.

"How does it taste?" Yun Feng asked the Golden Koi.

The Koi actually seemed to understand human speech, wagging its tail toward Yun Feng and transmitting a vague thought: "The flavor is a bit mixed, but the energy is decent."

Long Qianyuan and Nie Li watched, utterly dumbfounded.

Taking the "system afterimage" and "low-quality divinity material" that were enough to turn lower planes upside down... and feeding them to fish?!

And the fish even gave a review?!

"Ma-Revered Master, can... can they digest this?" Long Qianyuan stammered.

"Why wouldn't they?" Yun Feng was unconcerned.

"It's just a bit of chaotic logic and low-dimensional Law.

To them, it's no different from eating a few fish pellets of different flavors.

It just helps them exercise their stomachs and aid digestion."

He looked at the remaining bottles on the ground and instructed: "The rest are too poor in quality, barely fit even as fish food.

Qianyuan, take the trouble to melt them all down, refine the most core 'logic dust,' and then... well, just bury it somewhere, see if some unusual weeds might grow.

That counts as recycling."

Long Qianyuan: "...Yes, Revered Master."

He felt like a garbage disposal worker.

Just as Long Qianyuan was preparing to "dispose of the garbage," an anomaly suddenly occurred!

In the depths of the boundless Void Realm above the Cloud Court, in that higher dimension untouched even by the Three Ancient Masters, the dimensional observers who had previously resorted to "indirect observation" due to the failure of their logic probes seemed to have finally completed the analysis of the previous anomalous data and reached a certain conclusion.

[Based on logic probe-γ type failure data and subsequent activity analysis of target 'Cloud Court'.]

[Determination: Target individual 'Yun Feng' and his Domain 'Cloud Court' pose an 'extremely high risk' to the stability of the current dimensional matrix.]

[His form of existence is incomprehensible, his behavior pattern is unpredictable, and he possesses super-standard abilities such as 'logic immunity' and 'rule definition'.]

[Recommendation: To prevent the spread of uncontrollable variables, execute the highest Rank 'Logic Purification' protocol.]

[Resolution passed. Initiating 'Logic Storm - World Annihilation Rank'.]

There was no warning, no prelude of energy gathering.

An invisible, terrifying storm targeting the "logic of existence" itself, swept down from the indescribable high-dimensional level like a bursting flood, surging toward the entire plane where the Cloud Court resided!

This was not an attack designed to destroy flesh, nor an energy impact meant to shatter stars, but a dimensional strike that directly erased "meaning of existence" and disintegrated "constitutive logic"!

Wherever the storm passed, the Law of the low-dimensional planes would vanish like pencil marks erased by an eraser, and all matter, energy, life, and even concepts existing based on those Law would be utterly annihilated, as if they had never existed!

This storm was silent, yet more complete and despairing than any destruction.

Nie Li and Long Qianyuan's expressions changed drastically in an instant!

Although they could not fully grasp the essence of the attack, the shiver and fear emanating from the depths of their Souls, born of primal instinct, made them realize that something extremely terrifying and unimaginable was happening!

"Court Master!" Nie Li urgently called out.

Long Qianyuan also looked nervously at Yun Feng.

However, Yun Feng merely raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the seemingly unremarkable Void Realm, and spoke with a hint of annoyance at being disturbed:

"Tsk, never ending, is it?

You're disturbing my fishing."

He was still holding the straight-hook fishing rod.

Facing the invisible, intangible "Logic Storm" that was capable of erasing the existence logic of an entire great world, he casually waved his fishing rod as if shooing away a fly.

"Disperse."

There was no brilliant light, no roaring Law.

Only a single, unremarkable syllable.

The terrifying "Logic Storm" pouring down from the high dimension, the moment it touched the periphery of the Cloud Court plane, was like hitting an absolutely insurmountable, incomprehensible "Logical Cliff."

Its own "erasure" logic, capable of annihilating all Law, appeared so ridiculous and fragile before a higher authority of "definition."

The storm... stopped abruptly.

It wasn't countered, nor was it defeated; rather, the "logic" of its existence was forcibly "defined" as "invalid."

It was as if someone told an oncoming tsunami, "You should not exist," and the tsunami genuinely vanished into thin air.

On the higher dimensional observation level, those cold observer wills once again received incomprehensible feedback.

[Logic Storm - World Annihilation Rank... released.]

[Target area 'Cloud Court'... Status: Unaffected.]

[Attack logic... failure reason: unable to parse.]

[Error! Error! Core logic library encountered unknown pollution! Initiating... Zzzzt...]

After a violent burst of garbled code and static, as if a System had crashed, the high-dimensional level fell into a deathly silence.

All observation signals targeting the Cloud Court were instantly cut off, as if the area had suddenly become an absolute forbidden zone where even the concept of "observation" could not exist.

Cloud Court, outside the Star Gazing Hall, the wind was calm, and the sun was warm.

Long Qianyuan and Nie Li exchanged glances.

The terrifying sensation that had made their Souls tremble moments ago had vanished as if it were an illusion.

"Wh-What just happened?" Long Qianyuan asked blankly.

Yun Feng retracted his fishing rod and yawned: "Nothing, just a stray gust of wind.

It has already dispersed."

He glanced at the "pollution source" bottles still on the ground and told Long Qianyuan: "Why are you still standing there?

Hurry up and dispose of this trash, it's an eyesore.

When you're done, come back and fish with me."

Long Qianyuan: "...Oh."

He looked at Revered Master's lazy silhouette, then at the calm pond and the sky, and swallowed.

He suddenly felt that his previous glorious efforts in the Lower Realm, recycling "Systems," were nothing more than child's play compared to Revered Master casually dispersing that unknown terrifying existence.

Invincibility, it turns out, can be this effortless.

And at this very moment, the Golden Koi that had consumed the "System Wholesaler" material seemed to have finished digesting, and contentedly blew a string of multicolored bubbles.

The bubbles floated up, and under the sunlight, countless card phantoms seemed to flicker within them, eventually popping with a soft "pop" and dissipating into nothingness.

Everything returned to the seemingly simple and boring daily routine.
