Chapter 59: Interference Code and the Investiture of the Gods

Page 1/3
Ye Yinyi’s personal residence.
Returning was like a bolt of lightning, without the slightest hesitation.
The entire room had been destroyed, including the personal computer, now reduced to debris scattered on the floor—beyond any hope of repair, even if taken to a professional shop.
“Here.”
Ye Yinyi pointed to the floor. “This is all that’s left.”
“Understood.”
Qian Gu extended his hand and lightly tapped it.
Illusion Trick: Restoration!
Drawing on the power of magic to manipulate reality, the shattered fragments lifted one by one, merging and reassembling as broken cracks gradually sealed.
Within less than half a minute, Ye Yinyi’s personal computer was restored.
“Power it on.”
Aside from the influences of the “Necromancer” and “Void Genesis” games, the entire real world was a remarkably ordinary place, untouched by supernatural interference. The magical effect of the restoration spell remained unhindered, allowing for a swift recovery.
“...”
Ye Yinyi fell silent.
After a moment, he obediently sat on a chair with only three legs left, booted up the computer, and extracted the underlying source code of “Necromancer,” peeling it back layer by layer until only a complex and exquisite string of code remained.
Qian Gu leaned in, his pupils narrowing slightly.
“This is the interference code?”
“Yes.”
A ternary code composed of the digits 0, 1, and 2, but it was far more than that. Deep within this string lay a combination of oracle bone script, papyrus writing, cuneiform, and many other indecipherable characters, layered one upon another to form a complex and refined code.
Familiar!
So familiar!
Qian Gu had never seen such a code before, but he had heard of its existence.
In the original work, during Chu Xuan’s debut chapter, where he firmly established his identity through self-introduction, it was explicitly stated that he had cracked the computer prompt box issued by the Main God; the code that constituted it was exactly such a string.
In other words, the interference code Ye Yinyi had inadvertently created was at least on the same level as the Main God?
How could this be—
No!
‘It’s indeed possible!’
Qian Gu took a deep breath, the intense emotion threatening to shatter the mechanized suppression of his mind, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Ye Yinyi.
“Did you really create this interference code by accident?”
“Y-yes.”
“You’re lying.”
Qian Gu narrowed his eyes and said coolly, “It seems you’re not the only one possessing this interference code. Aside from the designer of the ‘Necromancer’ game, there is another entity—‘Zero’—floating outside, who used it to create ‘Void Genesis.’
“If he didn’t steal this interference code from you, then there’s only one possibility.”
He paused slightly.
“What exactly are you trying to say?”
“Zero obtained inspiration from the same source, or perhaps directly obtained this very string of code,” Qian Gu said coldly. “So, how exactly did you create this interference code?”
The same source...
Ye Yinyi instinctively took a half step back.
Could someone reach such a conclusion just by glancing at the code?

It shouldn’t be possible!
Unless...
“You’ve seen this string of code before,” Ye Yinyi realized. “Or rather, you’ve seen something similar, which is why you can be so certain.”
Qian Gu was silent, simply looking at Ye Yinyi.
The answer lay unspoken between them; both were intelligent men who needed no further explanation.
Boom!
Crash!
Outside, far away, the battle between five rampaging colossal bears and thirteen ghosts raged on. The ground was scarred and shattered; no patch of earth remained intact, no building stood unscathed—either flattened or ripped apart.
The entire battlefield was shrouded by the shockwaves from their high-speed movements, and no human with flesh and blood dared to stand within it.
“Yes.”
Ye Yinyi finally relented.
“What’s the source?”
“A torn, old newspaper.”
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely.”
Qian Gu’s heart rate nearly maxed out; it felt as if his heart might leap from his chest.
As expected!
It really was this!
The old newspaper from Infinite Terror, still wielding such power, made it nearly certain.
The Causality Weapon, the Investiture List!
Possessing the power of cause and effect, making wishes come true—almost omniscient and omnipotent.
However, this required a power called “Causality Points” as a cost to activate the Investiture List’s abilities, and until completed, the high cost of causality points would cause rejection by the Heavenly Dao.
In the original Infinite Terror novel, it was the weapon of the replicated Chu Xuan.
And in the later, semi-abandoned Infinite Future, it was elaborated upon as a core existence.
Simply put, it could be described as a miniature “Main God Space.”
‘I should have realized it earlier.’
Qian Gu silently cursed himself as a fool.
Interfering with reality, making game worlds real—even if it required the aid of gene programming technology and their organic fusion—such a feat and such power should have immediately suggested the Investiture List.
“Where’s the old newspaper?”
Qian Gu asked anxiously.
“Lost it.”
“L-lost it?”
Such a careless reason, yet strangely genuine.
Qian Gu’s mouth twitched.
“You’re lying to me.”
Ye Yinyi shrugged, saying nothing yet saying everything.
That guy!
He really lost the Investiture List!

At this moment, Qian Gu felt an impulse to smash the other party. Watching an artifact of such incredible rarity and the most mysterious causality weapon slip through his grasp was a pain not easily suppressed by mechanized intellect or arcane energy.
‘Wait!’
A glimmer of hope sparked in Qian Gu’s heart.
It’s lost.
But that’s alright; it wasn’t taken by a Reincarnator.
This meant that somewhere in this reality, a fragment of the Investiture List existed, waiting for him—the Reincarnator—to uncover it.
“What a...
great surprise!”
But right now, he couldn’t savor this surprise.
Rumble—
A massive, strange creature burst forth from a pillar. Its slender body resembled an Eastern dragon, but instead of a dragon’s head, it bore the head of a lion.
“Divine Beast Suanni.”
Ye Yinyi named it without hesitation: “The fifth son of the dragon, a guardian auspicious beast.”
“How did you recognize it?” Qian Gu was at a loss for words. “I know Suanni, but it’s supposed to have the body of a lion too—why the long dragon’s body here?”
Too strange.
Qian Gu didn’t know what else to say.
If all the gods in “Void Genesis” looked like this, that would really be...
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge flower blossomed from the ground and transformed into a towering humanoid figure, shaped like a young maiden.
“The Goddess of Wushan!”
Hiss—
Qian Gu no longer cared how Ye Yinyi recognized it; he hadn’t recognized it himself.
It was like a synchronicity phenomenon.
With the appearance of the first ancient deity, a three-legged ape-faced, massive chimera formed by the fusion of seven different humanoid forms arose.
“Medicine King Sun Simiao.”
You call that ape-faced monstrosity Sun Simiao?
“Eastern Seven Mansions, Azure Dragon.”
Where’s the dragon?
The one who should look most like a dragon has been replaced by a chimera—a fusion of seven freakish beings!
Seven heads, seven arms, seven legs.
A downright grotesque figure.
‘Truly born of gene programming technology...’
Qian Gu could only say it fit the stereotype perfectly—too much gene programming.
“I say, maybe we should run.”
Ye Yinyi tugged at Qian Gu’s shoulder, a twitch at the corner of his mouth. “They’re all coming.”
