Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward!
Chapter 495: The Secret of the System[Ding! The system is running normally. Host condition: perfect.]
The system’s cold, mechanical voice sounded as usual, calm and unchanged.
"No."
A sharp look flashed in Aiden’s double-pupiled eyes.
If the other side had gone this far, even revealing a use of the Law of Space beyond a Supreme God, there was no way they had done it just to send a prank letter.
"If a surface scan can’t find anything, then I’ll use the Law of Inner Spirit and search every inch!"
Boom!
Aiden’s Inner Spirit erupted. His 42% law comprehension turned into the finest probes and stabbed straight into the empty core area of the system.
This was the first time since becoming a god that he had carried out such a deep scan of the system, almost as if he were harming himself.
Time passed, second by second.
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Aiden’s forehead.
Just as he was about to give up, deep within his Inner Spirit, he suddenly caught an extremely strange fluctuation.
It came from the very core of the system’s "10,000x critical hit" source.
Every time he tried to draw on his divine power, that empty space would produce a circle of extremely faint ripples, almost transparent.
"This is... an absorption ripple?"
Aiden’s Inner Spirit locked tightly onto that ripple.
To his horror, he discovered that every time he used the 10,000x critical hit, or every time the system gave him a reward, a tiny trace of his own law essence would be extracted by that ripple at the same time.
The amount was extremely small. Before he became a god, his law Strength had been too weak, so it had been almost impossible to notice.
But after he stepped into the god realm, his Inner Spirit and law Strength had grown at a terrifying speed. And the speed at which that ripple extracted from him had increased at the same rate.
It was like a monster hiding deep inside Aiden’s Inner Spirit, feeding on his foundation at a speed he could not sense.
"Leon... wasn’t lying to me."
Aiden suddenly opened his eyes. His face was as pale as paper.
His back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Where was this Strength that was absorbing his laws flowing to?
Was it a trap that Yves had planted on purpose when he first gave him the system?
Or was it an unknown mutation created by the system itself as it merged with Earth’s laws?
If Yves had designed it, was his goal to raise a perfect vessel for a god?
If it was a mutation, then once this absorption passed a certain limit, what would he become?
The three questions hung over him like three swords of Damocles.
In the dead silence of the study, Aiden clenched his fists, but he could not find a single answer.
Aiden took a deep breath and forced his surging Inner Spirit Strength back down.
He slowly raised his hand. His fingertip swept through the air, and purple-gold thunder wove together with the Law of Space, forming an absolute seal that completely locked down the entire quiet chamber.
"Zoey, come to the quiet chamber at once."
His voice was low and commanding. Wrapped in the law will of a lesser god, it exploded directly in Zoey’s mind.
A few seconds later.
Buzz!
The empty space rippled like the surface of water. A holographic projection giving off a faint blue glow slowly formed inside the quiet chamber.
In the projection, Zoey was standing at a damaged section of the Golden Great Wall. Around her, countless mechanical parts flew through the air, and sparks of energy flashed everywhere.
She wiped the false sweat from her forehead, and a look of surprise flashed in her mechanical eyes.
"Aiden, what happened? I sensed that your Inner Spirit is extremely unstable."
Aiden did not waste words. He held two fingers together like a blade and lightly cut through the air.
Rip.
A deep-blue screen formed from Inner Spirit Strength instantly spread out in midair.
On the screen, countless complex golden codes flowed down like a waterfall. At the very core, where the "10,000x critical hit" source was located, a nearly transparent absorption ripple could be seen clearly.
It was eating away at the essence of Aiden’s thunder and Law of Space at an extremely slow but steady speed.
The moment Zoey saw the ripple clearly, her lively mechanical eyes suddenly froze.
The blue light in her eyes began to flash violently. She even let out an alarm sound that meant her system was overloaded.
"This... this is hidden code at the very bottom of the system?"
Zoey’s voice became extremely sharp in that moment, even a little distorted.
The quiet chamber fell into a deathly silence.
Aiden stood with his hands behind his back. Divine light flickered in his double-pupiled eyes as he quietly waited for her answer.
After a long time,
Zoey took a deep breath. Her holographic body trembled slightly, and the shock in her eyes slowly turned into a seriousness she had never shown before.
"Aiden, this is not a mutation."
She looked at Aiden and said each word clearly.
"This was designed."
Boom!
Those few simple words struck Aiden’s heart like a heavy hammer.
"Designed?"
Aiden narrowed his eyes. A trace of killing intent flashed through the quiet chamber, making the surrounding space hum and tremble.
"Yes. This is part of the system’s deepest core logic. Yves wrote it into the system from the very beginning."
Zoey’s voice was low, carrying a heavy sense of buried history being uncovered.
"He predicted long ago that once the host became strong enough, the system would activate this reverse extraction."
"Its purpose is to collect the law essence you comprehend as you grow stronger, using an amount so tiny that it does not damage your foundation."
"When enough of this law essence builds up and reaches a certain limit, it will turn into a kind of high-dimensional energy that cannot be analyzed. That energy is stored inside a ’container’ at the deepest core of the system."
Aiden frowned. "What is inside that container?"
"I don’t know."
Zoey shook her head weakly.
"There is no record of that container in my database. It is a forbidden area that even I cannot reach."
"But based on the few clues Yves left behind, I believe there are only three possible reasons for this design."
Zoey raised one finger.
"First, it may be meant to provide the extreme energy needed at the final moment to open the ’door’ deep inside Earth’s core."
"Second, it may be a kind of successor test. Only someone who can endure the system’s backlash and reach the end is worthy of inheriting his legacy."
"Third..."
Zoey paused, and a deep fear flashed in her eyes.
"It may have some unknown third purpose. Perhaps... something connected to the upper universe."
Just then, the door of the quiet chamber slid open without a sound.
Jade walked in slowly. In her hand, she held a star map glowing with starlight. Clearly, she had already heard the conversation.
"I just used my Divine Eyes to calculate the operating speed of that absorption ripple."
Jade walked to Aiden’s side. Her cool voice echoed through the quiet chamber.
"With your current strength at the middle stage of lesser god, the extraction speed is still within a safe range."
"For the next two years, it will not cause any real damage to your combat power, foundation, or Inner Spirit."
"But Aiden, you need to pay attention to one key point."
Jade turned her head and looked at him with an extremely serious expression.
"The moment you break through to Intermediate god, your understanding of the laws will undergo a major change."
"At that time, the absorption speed at the system’s core will increase many times over."
"The dangerous period will begin after you step into Intermediate god, during the acceleration phase."
"If we cannot find a solution before then, you may be completely ’eaten’ by this system."
The air inside the quiet chamber seemed to freeze at that moment.
Aiden looked at the golden code in the air, but his expression slowly became calm again.
There was no fear in him, only endless coldness and reason.
"Intermediate god, huh..."
The corner of Aiden’s mouth lifted slightly, forming an extremely dangerous smile.
"Interesting."
"But I still have one key question."
Aiden turned around. His gaze fell on the remains of the letter on the desk, now reduced to ash.
"Why did Leon, the leader of Dawn Society, send me a letter at this exact time to warn me about this?"
"If he is an enemy, he could have simply stood by and watched as the system devoured me."
"If he is a friend, then why did he create Evil Demons Guild, repeatedly go against the Great Shaw Empire, and even connect himself with the Heavenly Demon vanguard?"
Jade and Zoey looked at each other. Both of them saw confusion in the other’s eyes.
This being who called himself "Leon" had acted in ways that made no sense.
Aiden closed his eyes, and the information Egretta had once given him appeared in his mind.
"Egretta once said that Leon, the leader of Dawn Society, had seen the upper universe with his own eyes."
Aiden slowly opened his eyes. Endless stars were reflected in his double-pupiled eyes.
"A person who went to the upper universe and came back alive..."
"Can he really still be called ’human’ now?"
The air inside the quiet chamber completely froze because of Aiden’s low question.
"A living person who has been to the upper universe..."
Aiden lightly tapped the table with his fingertips. Purple-gold lightning and the Law of Space flickered in his double-pupiled eyes.
"Jade, have we really found out the truth about Dawn Society?"
Jade’s expression changed slightly. The star map in her hand instantly burst with brilliant starlight.
"According to the official records of the Great Shaw Empire, Dawn Society was founded a hundred years ago by a group of extremists. They refused to surrender to the Abyss, but had also lost hope in humanity’s future."
"But my instinct tells me that this is only the tip of the iceberg."
Jade took a deep breath. Suddenly, two bright golden beams of divine light lit up in her eyes.
Mythic Rank class: Divine-Eyed Swordsman!
Buzz!
The void shook violently. Countless rays of starlight turned into solid threads of cause and effect, weaving together inside the quiet chamber to form a huge web of fate.
"Zoey, help me. Access the formation core of Celestial Imperial City and forcefully trace back the corrupted historical data from the Great Shaw Empire, and even from Earth a thousand years ago!"
Jade’s cold voice rang through the quiet chamber like the cry of a sword.
