Ye Yang's power of the Great Dao intertwined with the aura on the stone tablet, instantly flooding in a large amount of information and presenting Ye Yang with a rudimentary interface.
"Inheritance Management System No. 92? Species Repository Partitioning?"
He curiously tried out the interactive features: the basic search function, the advanced search function, and the search by index function.
It took two whole days of trial and error.
It was ultimately confirmed that this was indeed a species information database.
A single page contains documentation of the species, including images, observation records, and life blueprints.
However, the information is all simple and intuitive; more in-depth research and analysis papers are not available to Ye Yang as a current "visitor".
"Why does the term 'Life Blueprint' give me a similar feeling to 'Thinking Algorithms' and 'Core Information'?"
Ye Yang had a vague feeling that the civilization that created this database might have gained insight into a part of the essence of [life].
He got this feeling from a few snippets of information that he could view with certain visitor privileges.
The power aroused by the stone tablet, similar to the power of the Great Dao, is called the "Omnidirectional Domain".
The life blueprint information, after being loaded into the Omnidirectional Law Domain, seems to go through some complex process and can directly create a species population!
Yes, create a population, and a population with very rich genetic diversity!
The blueprint of life does not record specific genetic information, but a pattern, a way!
Actually, this isn't entirely accurate, but it's the only way Ye Yang could describe it.
This unknown and powerful civilization seems to be able to refine life into species, forming a path that completely explains a particular species.
Of course, this refers to the Tao that explains all the mysteries of the physiological level, but does not include the spiritual and cultural level.
One document even mentioned a sentence—
"After the life blueprint of 4HI-Island Yellow Rock Dragon was inscribed into the underlying laws of Sample 8's world, ———— appeared during the natural generation of 4HI-Island Yellow Rock Dragon."
"By inscribing the life blueprint of a species into the law system of a world, no further human intervention is needed. As the world operates, this species will naturally evolve."
"Because the existence of this species has become part of the laws of the world—is it even possible to do something like that?"
Ye Yang murmured.
Similar techniques appear to be quite common in many records.
Although the stone tablet was damaged and most of the internal data was lost, the remaining information, which was only a fragment of a glorious civilization, still greatly shocked him.
So, why are there so many worlds in the myriad realms where humans exist?
Is it entirely due to the anthropic principle, or is it that this unknown civilization also played a part in it?
As Ye Yang was deeply immersed in the vast ocean of information contained within this mysterious stone tablet, several auras rapidly approached.
He had to look away and at the person who had come.
"Senior Qingfeng, your battle is finally over!" Tianxian Xingjun and the others said with a mixture of awe and envy.
They revered this real and tangible power.
And since they knew that "Qingfeng" was a newly promoted True Lord, it meant that not long ago, he was at a similar level to them. However, after attaining enlightenment, his level was completely different, so it was impossible not to envy him.
"The True Lord of Power has been observing the battle from below until two days ago, when he informed us to come up and invite you."
"Congratulations, Senior Qingfeng! You've already achieved the feat of slaying a peerless opponent from another world right after your advancement! As your first battle at the True Monarch realm, this will surely earn you a title!"
Ye Yang simply nodded slightly and then said, "Since we've kept True Lord Jili waiting for so long, let's hurry back."
""
"But before that, I need to salvage some things."
Ye Yang turned and plunged into the Jianzu River, going deep into the riverbed, where he found the deep palace that had been knocked away and stuck on the riverbed by the aftershocks of the battle.
Even with the protection of the inner palace, more than a third of the geniuses from the Yuanhe people inside still perished in that earth-shattering battle.
Ye Yang took the entire palace with him and reunited with Tianxian Xingjun and the others who were waiting on the river. Together they returned to their base camp above the Eye of the Source River.
Music and dance filled the air, wine cups clinked in celebration.
As soon as Ye Yang and the others returned, they saw that the headquarters was decorated in a festive manner, as if they were celebrating some major holiday.
Indeed, the battle between the two True Monarch-level powerhouses can be considered a decisive battle between the Immortal Alliance development team and the Source River World. It is quite normal for this day, which will determine the future direction of the world, to become a grand local festival in the future.
"Senior Qingfeng, you're finally back! Hurry, hurry! We've been waiting for this celebration banquet for a long time."
Ye Yang was welcomed into the banquet hall, which was filled with immortals. As Ye Yang entered, pairs of eyes turned to him.
Fortunately, he had seen much bigger scenes before. The "Void Plague" commendation ceremony was a gathering of stars, so these gazes were nothing compared to that.
"I never expected that this Source River World could nurture a True Monarch-level combatant. It's quite unexpected. Fortunately, I have you here, otherwise it would be troublesome for me to deal with it alone," True Monarch Jili said with a smile.
After the celebration banquet was halfway through, everyone started talking about the future plans for Yuanhe World.
"The Source River World is unique; everything within it is derived from the Primordial Water of Heaven. Once it enters the main world, its laws and processes mutate, and most of it loses its mystical properties. After the energy dissipates, it becomes ordinary water."
"There aren't many resources to develop, but the properties of Tianyi Yuan Water are very suitable for refining the essence of spiritual medicines. This world will probably become a pharmaceutical industry base."
"The Yuanhe humans have a high talent for the laws of water, but they are somewhat lacking in other areas."
The celebrities discussed it.
No matter what, an eighth-level world can't be completely worthless except for reaping fate points.
It's just a matter of how they monetize that value.
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
Noticing that Ye Yang seemed to be distracted by something, Jili Zhenjun approached and asked.
"Oh, Ancestor—cough cough, True Lord Jili, it's nothing much, just a peculiar item I obtained after killing Emperor Chao." Ye Yang flipped his hand and took out the Life Source Stone Tablet.
After Chao Di achieved the fusion of his life essence and physical form, his appearance was already seen by everyone during the great battle, and many people could see the extraordinary nature of the stone tablet on his head.
Later, Ye Yang obtained this stone tablet, which was also clearly seen by Tianxian Xingjun and others.
Therefore, Ye Yang had no intention of hiding anything.
After all, he had some questions he wanted to ask, and once he did, the True Lord of Power would immediately guess that he must have obtained some item from outside the world.
"This stone tablet—" Sensing the aura emanating from it, True Monarch Jili was slightly taken aback, then looked at Ye Yang and suddenly laughed: "You kid, you're really lucky."
"Does the patriarch recognize this stone tablet?" Ye Yang put the stone tablet away and asked curiously through telepathy.
"Hmm—I wouldn't say I completely recognize it, but I do recognize the material of this stone tablet."
Jili Zhenjun also switched to divine thought communication, explaining to Ye Yang: "The material of this stone tablet is an important material for refining the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure! It can be said to be the finishing touch. Without it, the importance of the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure to us Zhenjuns would be greatly reduced."
"What if this isn't the raw material for making Daoji Dust?" Ye Yang was somewhat astonished.
The True Lord Jili had taught him some knowledge about the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure.
Although the specific refining methods are restricted knowledge even within the Immortal Alliance, Ye Yang knows a lot of important information.
First of all, in the main world, the most powerful weapon of a True Monarch realm immortal is still their own Tai Su Battle Body, which is beyond doubt.
Secondly, using the Tai Su Battle Body as the central hub, directly manipulating the neutron battle stars refined into weapons, and then indirectly drawing black holes to attack, is the strongest combat tactic in the current environment of the main world!
However, the advantage of this tactic is limited to the main world.
When fighting in other worlds, the situation is divided into two types: level nine worlds and level eight or lower worlds.
When fighting in worlds of level eight or below, a True Monarch's own immense power can repel and distort the laws of the world, constructing a Great Dao Domain that is completely under their control.
Based on this, whether to adopt the Dao-imitating combat method or the Dao-derived combat method depends entirely on personal preference.
However, in the level nine dungeon world, the power of the world's law system once again overwhelmed the cultivators, and the power of the True Monarchs was no longer sufficient to completely reject all the world's laws.
If you can't fight the world, then you have no choice but to adapt to it.
How can one restore combat power commensurate with their own level when subjected to various restrictions and weakening?
At this point, the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure can come in very handy.
In a sense, it is similar to a natal spiritual treasure or a companion spiritual treasure, like a life attached to the Great Dao of the True Lord, or it can be called the "spirit of the Great Dao".
It can grow stronger as the cultivator's realm improves. When entering a higher-level other world, it can assist the cultivator in fighting against the law system of that world, and even support a small part of the Great Dao Domain to stabilize the Tai Su Battle Body.
This allows True Lords to exert considerable combat power in the level nine dungeon world without needing to switch cultivation methods or abandon their Primordial Battle Body.
"The true battlefield of the True Monarch realm is still in those level nine dungeon worlds! Therefore, the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure is indispensable to us. In the main world or dungeon worlds below level nine, it may just be a useful piece of equipment, but in level nine dungeon worlds, it is the basis for our survival."
Recalling what True Lord Jili had told him back then, Ye Yang became even more curious about the secrets represented by the Life Source Stone Tablet:
"What kind of technology could be used to create this material? It's impossible for this material to exist within any world, except perhaps somewhere outside of all worlds—does such a place even exist?"
Ye Yang thought to himself, while simultaneously sending out a divine sense inquiry: "Are there many similar items to this stone tablet within our Immortal Alliance?"
True Monarch Jili shook his head: "In terms of sheer quantity, it's not much. But if it's just about creating Dao Foundation Dust, even if the number of True Monarchs were increased tenfold, it would still be enough for them to forge Profound True Dao Treasures."
The amount of Dao Foundation Dust consumed in refining the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure is not very large.
"We usually call this kind of thing a foundation stone," you must have received a message, right? Saying that this stone is part of a certain heritage repository—"
Ye Yang nodded.
"Haha." True Monarch Jili laughed, "No need to waste your time. It is said that the first Dao Foundation Stone obtained by the Immortal Alliance was more than a million years ago, when the Heavenly Venerable Haotian first communicated with the [Gate of All Heavens] in the Silver Heart Black Hole and resonated with a level nine dungeon world, and obtained it in that world."
"Later, we also found these stones in some level 8 and 9 dungeon worlds. At first, we thought they were treasures left behind by some super civilization. But after studying them for countless years, we still couldn't crack their authentication and encryption methods."
"Everyone has only figured out one thing—the conditions for passing the 'cognitive form verification' are twofold: First, being human. Second, being a cultivator of the Immortal Dao system who has achieved true enlightenment, preferably a modified version of the Celestial Immortal Dao."
"But passing that verification only grants you the most basic level of access. You can only understand a lot of things in general terms, like a general education course. You can't access any more detailed or important research materials or data."
"Although that common-sense knowledge has saved us from many detours, no one can unlock the true inheritance, so we still have to walk the path ourselves step by step."
As Ye Yang listened quietly to the True Lord of Extreme Power's narration, a storm of emotions surged within him:
"Detailed data—can't I view it?"
"So, I can directly view and read the life blueprints of individual species? What's this all about? Is this database corrupted? That makes sense, the life in the Source River World originated from a data leak of this thing—"
"That's still not right. I didn't exploit a bug; I definitely have viewing permissions!"
Ye Yang recalled that, besides the "cognitive form verification," he seemed to have passed another verification, but that information was chaotic and incomprehensible.
"So I was able to pass the second verification and obtain higher browsing privileges?!"
How much precious inherited data might be contained within those Dao Foundation Stones, which no one in the Immortal Alliance has been able to truly utilize to this day?
Ye Yang was tempted, and also felt a chill run down his spine.
Such a huge benefit, even though he had been promoted to True Lord, still felt like a hot potato.
However, there's no need to feel alarmed; strength is our greatest source of confidence.
"If there's a research and inheritance repository about [life] in all the heavens and myriad realms, then perhaps it also contains information about [spacetime] in all the heavens and myriad realms."
The research and inheritance repository of the [Soul]!
Ye Yang made up his mind that after he finished dealing with the matters at hand, he would look for an opportunity to contact those Dao Foundation Stones.
"Ye Yang, keep that Dao Foundation Stone safe. They don't recognize its value, so they'll just assume it's not on the list of spoils from the development war." True Monarch Jili winked at Ye Yang.
In wars, there are usually regulations for the spoils to be turned over and distributed uniformly. However, if the stronger party makes a small exception, everyone will tacitly accept it.
The two of them were communicating telepathically, and no one else present could have overheard their conversations, so no one else knew the true value of this "foundation stone of the Dao".
As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." With this foundation stone, the foundation of the Jili Dao lineage has been further strengthened.
"By the way, Ancestor, does our Immortal Alliance have any more information about that mysterious super civilization of the heavens?"
Ye Yang continued to ask questions.
