268: Chapter 268 stunned all the fans; was this some kind of divine intervention?

"Clone... Incarnation... Projection... Karma..."

Xu Ruyu chewed over these terms, the sparks of his thoughts colliding fiercely.

The core of the True Explanation of Taixu Source Energy is energy, information, and the manipulation of the world's Origin.

Was a Clone essentially a "replication and projection of energy and information"?

Was an Incarnation an "intelligent copy" based on that, endowed with independent action and a certain degree of decision-making ability?

Was a Projection a "remote interface" with lower energy consumption and a focus on specific functions?

And did entrusting Karma involve a deeper level of "information entanglement" and "fate line manipulation"?

Modern science had the holographic principle, quantum entanglement, multi-Universe theory, information theory...

Although they couldn't be applied directly, the essence of those ideas could provide an incredible perspective for understanding this profound Method of Manifesting Others!

Xu Ruyu opened his eyes, a brilliant divine light shining within his pupils.

He pointed his fingers and began to carve upon this final stone tablet.

This time, what he carved was not a simple diagram of a Cultivation Technique's circulation.

Using the True Explanation of Taixu Source Energy as his Foundation, he fused insights from the previous ninety-nine stone tablets regarding energy transformation, matter restructuring, spiritual projection, illusory reality, and even the "possibilities" and "rules" from the Chaos Heaven-Opening Script. He creatively constructed an entirely new "Multi-dimensional Energy-Information Clone System"!

He divided "Clones" into several levels:

Qi-Sensing Clone: Mixing highly condensed Void Source Energy with his own Divine Thought to simulate his own energy fluctuations and simple thought patterns. It formed a Clone capable of sensing and transmitting information with low consumption but limited functionality.

Elemental Clone: Combined with the Five Elements Evolution Chapter, it directly manipulated elements in the air (or synthesized matter on the spot) to form a physical Clone capable of performing some of the original body's Spells. Its combat power was considerable, but its duration was limited.

Electromagnetic Projection: Based on the Primal Chaos Electromagnetism Chapter, it encoded his consciousness into specific electromagnetic signals and projected them remotely to attach to a pre-prepared "receiver" (such as a Magical Artifact, Talisman, or even someone else's shallow consciousness). It formed an interactive virtual projection with almost no distance limit, though it relied on the receiver and the environment.

Information Entanglement Body (Prototype): This was his boldest hypothesis.

Drawing on the concepts of quantum entanglement and the idea of information indestructibility, he attempted to establish a deep connection beyond time and space between a part of his "core information" (memories, personality fragments, skill modules) and an object or location, forming a "passive Clone."

Even if the original body perished, this part of the information could potentially be activated and reorganized under specific conditions, acting as an alternative method of "resurrection" or Legacy.

This already touched upon the edges of Karma and existence; it was merely a theoretical prototype, extremely dangerous but with infinite potential.

He had not only completed the missing parts of the Method of Manifesting Others but had also expanded, upgraded, and refined it from a relatively vague concept into a complete Great Dao system of Clones that was logically rigorous, clearly layered, and ranged from practical to profound!

Its richness, practicality, and foresight far exceeded the scope of what the original Cultivation Technique could have achieved!

When the final composite Dao seal representing "Information Unification" was carved—

"Boom!!!"

The hundredth stone tablet erupted with an unprecedented, brilliant radiance!

That light was not a single color but a kaleidoscope containing all the world's possibilities. Within the pillar of light, countless phantoms of Xu Ruyu seemed to flash, practice, and think simultaneously before merging back into one!

It was profound, mysterious, yet possessed an orderly "sense of technology"!

As this hundredth light rose—

The anomaly finally erupted into the outside world!

...

Moon Fox Palace, the third day, afternoon.

The Grand Elder was prepared to check one last time before leaving to handle other affairs. The light in Lady Qingli's eyes had almost completely dimmed, leaving only deep worry.

Outside the palace, no one was paying attention anymore.

At this moment of dead silence and pervasive disappointment—

"Dong!!!!!"

A sound like a great bell from ancient times, yet also like a direct strike to the depths of the Soul, boomed without warning from deep underground, from the direction of the giant bronze gates!

Immediately after—

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...!"

One beam! Two beams! Ten beams! Fifty beams! One hundred beams!!!

A full hundred beams of magnificent Holy Light, each of a different color and soaring with dao rhyme, so dazzling they were impossible to look at directly, erupted like a volcano suppressed for ten million years. They forcefully broke through the spatial barriers of the Legacy Ground, piercing through the floor, walls, and ceiling of the Moon Fox Palace, shooting straight into the Nine Heavens!

The Dao of Li-Fire, red as fire!

The Dao of Frigid Soul, blue as ice!

The Dao of Life, vibrant and green!

The Dao of Wutu Earth, heavy and towering!

The Dao of Gengjin Metal, peerlessly sharp!

The Dao of Illusory Dreams, ever-changing and unpredictable!

The Dao of Darkness, devouring all!

The Dao of Yimu Wood, full of vitality!

The Dao of Thunder, violent and rampaging!

The Dao of Pure Wind, ethereal and carefree!

The Dao of Moonlight, bright and cold!

The Dao of Chaos, encompassing all things!

The Dao of Freedom, dividing into ten thousand...

Over a hundred distinct yet equally profound and vast breaths of the Great Dao, pointing directly to the Origin, bloomed, intertwined, and resonated without reservation at this moment!

The sky above the entire Tianyin Mountains was painted into a breathtaking spectacle of ten thousand flowing lights and manifested Laws!

"Whoosh—!"

The eternal gray haze above the Legacy Ground was completely dispersed, replaced by an assembly of endless auspicious clouds!

Seven-colored rosy clouds danced across the sky, phantoms of Dragons and Phoenixes circled while crying out, and celestial music played out of thin air!

Even more terrifyingly, within that sky full of Holy Light and auspicious clouds, over a hundred blurry figures emitting ancient, desolate, and grand auras faintly emerged!

Some wore high hats and wide belts, some had animal heads on human bodies, some had wings on their backs, and some stepped on auspicious clouds...

Although they were only incomplete phantoms, they carried a supreme majesty that suppressed all ages and stood alone over heaven and earth!
