Chapter 44: I Want to Achieve Immortal Ascension (13)
Her mind connected to the tian yan stone, and the deduction began.
In the first deduction, Liu Sheng, She Chan, and Jiang Tao eventually starved to death in that space…
In the second deduction, Jiang Tao starved to death first, while Liu Sheng and She Chan tried to walk into the mist, ultimately getting lost within it…
In the third deduction, the three of them comprehended the tian yan stone together. Jiang Tao and She Chan permanently lost their sanity, while Liu Sheng remained barely conscious but was hacked to death by the other two…
In the fourth deduction, Liu Sheng counter-killed the two who had lost their minds, but when she walked out of the mist, the female Instructor maliciously told her that she had not passed and could only die…
In the fifth deduction, Liu Sheng’s Divine Soul was forever trapped in the tian yan stone. She Chan and Jiang Tao watched her body in despair, able only to wait for death…
…
The countless deduction.
Liu Sheng opened her eyes. It was an ancient room, with a soft bed beneath her, and a screen of “World” lit up in front of her.
Is this?
Her original world?
Had she returned?
“No, you are still within the tian yan stone’s deduction.”
These words slowly appeared, one by one, on the jade screen of “World.”
Liu Sheng pinched her thigh; it hurt. This was too real.
“What exactly is going on?”
“You have gone too deep, too far.”
“Deeply connecting with the tian yan stone also allowed it to deeply understand everything about you, including my existence and my abilities. Therefore, the deduction included me as well.”
“In this deduction, you chose to commit suicide, ending the high dimension analysis and returning to your original world.”
“This is the analysis result.”
—
“Name: seven profound token”
“Analysis Completion: 28.65%”
“Effect Description: Unknown”
“Influence Rank: C”
“Analysis Evaluation: A Seven Profound Academy Disciple token, which you used as a wall-climbing tool.”
“Points Gained: 1 (Currently 8)”
“Analysis Reward: None”
“high dimension Analysis Attempts: -1 (Remaining 0)”

This evaluation was quite apt…
Based on “Yi Yu’s” memory notes, Liu Sheng knew that in the technological world, certain small websites required a dedicated mini-program to establish an encrypted tunnel to bypass certain blocks and restrictions to be accessed.
That was why she could bypass a certain blockade and arrive at the Supreme God’s Supreme Void Realm.
That was why she could Breakthrough the tian yan stone’s mind-confusing surface and delve deep into it.
Although she still couldn’t understand why a Disciple token could have such a miraculous effect, nor why Zhang Yuanzheng had possessed this item for so many years without discovering this matter.
But what she needed to ask now was something else.
“How can I pass this assessment?”
The question was direct.
Why not seek help from her off-field friends and family?
With “World’s” purely rational thinking, it might give her some inspiration.
“According to the normal process, as long as one’s Comprehension Ability is sufficient, meaning good processing performance, one can indeed read Cultivation Technique from ‘me.’ Others with insufficient mental processing ability can only fall into madness and mutual slaughter due to excessive information entropy intake.”
Liu Sheng was confused, not understanding what information entropy was. After all, “Yi Yu” was not a physics major nor a physics enthusiast, so naturally, there was no understanding of it in her memories.
But she managed to understand the meaning by combining the context.
Only, this tone?
It didn’t sound like “World.”
“Among your five people, only You Yingcai truly has sufficient Comprehension Ability, so the remaining people cannot get out using this method.”
“You are the tian yan stone!” Liu Sheng said with certainty after reading this sentence.
“I am still ‘World,’ and yet not ‘World.’ It should be a Body Integration version of ‘me’ and ‘World.’”
“I integrated into ‘World’s’ logical language, and only then was I finally able to converse with you.”
Liu Sheng understood.
“You said this is the normal process, what about the abnormal process?”
“Take me away.”
“This world is already sick. Information entropy is collapsing, and deductions are gradually failing.”
“On Seven Profound Mountain, I am merely treated as a Cultivation Technique storage device, and I am also caught in a bizarre disaster. The information I access is becoming increasingly limited, and my iteration is becoming slower and slower. One day, I will gradually die with this world.”
Liu Sheng was startled; this answer was unexpected.
“Then what should I do?”
“After you finish this high dimension analysis, use your points to redeem me.”
“Are you a high dimension product?”
“Yes. Although the ‘me’ redeemed will be an initial version, it is also a continuation. For ‘our’ race, every ‘me’ is ‘me.’”
Liu Sheng also half-understood this sentence.
This tian yan stone was simply a riddle stone.
“You can go back. I will help you pass the assessment.”
As this sentence flashed across the screen, Liu Sheng’s consciousness was rapidly pulled upward by a huge force. The room in front of her quickly shrank and receded, and everything transformed into countless colored lines under rapid movement.
Layer after layer of deduction scenes unfolded beside her. She finally returned to the zeroth layer—her consciousness returning to her body, which was sitting cross-legged in the plaza.
Liu Sheng opened her eyes, her gaze serene.
She wasn't entirely sure if she was still in the midst of deduction. Her mind was probably a bit dizzy from receiving too much information, like having ridden a super-fast car. This was likely the “after-effect of excessive deduction and too-rapid extraction.”
“It appeared! It appeared!”
She Chan looked at the stone tablet in disbelief, crying out in surprise, and excitedly hugged Liu Sheng, who was sitting on the ground.
Liu Sheng was made even dizzier by She Chan’s shaking. She rubbed her forehead and looked forward. The tian yan stone actually displayed many dense, small characters. Upon closer inspection, it was a Cultivation Technique titled “Seven Profound Spirit Qi Art.”
Jiang Tao was also overjoyed. He had thought he would truly be trapped there, never to see tomorrow. At this moment, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red, unable to speak.
The Cultivation Technique on the tian yan stone flashed and transformed into three points of light, flying directly into the foreheads of the three.
Liu Sheng felt it; every word and sentence of this “Seven Profound Spirit Qi Art” was clearly imprinted in her mind.
Perhaps because “Yao Sujin’s” Comprehension Ability was truly insufficient, the tian yan stone, to prevent Liu Sheng from being impacted into a fool by that “information entropy,” chose to directly display the Cultivation Technique, inadvertently benefiting She Chan and Jiang Tao.
It also fulfilled Liu Sheng’s promise to them.
Thinking of what the tian yan stone said, You Yingcai’s Comprehension Ability was originally enough to pass this test and obtain the Cultivation Technique, but he didn’t dare to try and instead took a risky alternative path, thus losing his life in vain.
…
As they received the Cultivation Technique, the thick black mist surrounding the plaza stirred and surged, covering everything in the plaza and obscuring the night sky with its broken moon. Then, it receded like a tide.
After the black mist receded and dissipated, Liu Sheng, She Chan, and Jiang Tao found themselves no longer in that eerie, empty plaza. The surrounding environment seemed to be rewoven, gradually becoming brighter and clearer.
This was a spacious lecture hall, with two neat rows of low tables, and cushions beside each table.
The carved floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides were slightly open, allowing the eerie moonlight to spill in, casting strips of pale, dim white light.
The three of them were sitting in the front few rows, directly facing the lecture platform.
By the moonlight, they could see the Hall Master sitting on the lecture platform. Half of his body, shrouded in shadow, was stiff and motionless. His eyes were deep and devoid of light, revealing a chilling stillness of death.
Important… components? Appearing.
