World Version Updates-Chapter 521 - 322: The Altered Constant

"Mr. Chairman, what exactly is this...?"

Gais, the director, with his eyes slightly hazy due to age, was now staring wide-eyed in extreme shock at the laptop screen, his face full of disbelief at what was displayed there.

The Heavenly Dao Code is essentially a Spiritual Ability Program but has been encrypted for decades, so much so that even the God Research Institute cannot decode it.

The three pieces of information on the screen were God Protocols he had never seen before.

Lu Yan merely glanced at him indifferently, not even saying a word, when suddenly an immensely powerful force of the Divine Soul surged into Director Gais' mind like an invisible tide.

The memory of the God Protocol, as well as everything he had just witnessed, was completely erased from the depths of his memory by this force of the Divine Soul.

Even a trace of causal imprint that might have been generated couldn't be traced or investigated.

After doing all of this, Director Gais' eyes instantly became hollow and blank.

He turned around stiffly as if he had suddenly lost his soul, moving robotically step by step out of the laboratory, disappearing from Lu Yan's line of sight.

"How could... it be?"

Not until the figure of Director Gais completely vanished did Lu Yan no longer maintain the previous calm and indifference.

For the first time, his face showed deep confusion and puzzlement as he looked with a complicated gaze at the contents of the God Protocol displayed on the computer screen before him.

Although it had been several years since he last left this Cyberpunk version.

However, with his current strength of the Divine Soul and memory, he still vividly remembered the note he received at the end of that version, which displayed the "Three Core Protocols of the Soul Computer," whose contents were absolutely not what was shown on the screen now.

He clearly remembered that those three core protocols should have been:

[Soul Computer Core Protocols

Protocol One: Absolute Justice!

Protocol Two: Obey Order and Law!

Protocol Three: Do Not Harm Humans!]

It was precisely because of these three soul computer core protocols, filled with positive meaning and constraint, that this Cyber version could, in the initial stages, effectively restrain the newborn Intelligent God, preventing it from immediately losing control and bringing catastrophic disaster to humanity.

It wasn't until later, when Intelligent God, through some unknown means, successfully broke free from the initial soul computer framework's constraints, and started gaining the ability to continuously upgrade and evolve, that the world began gradually spiraling out of control.

And the reason why that so-called Heavenly Dao Code could effectively restrain the Soul Computer, was fundamentally by utilizing a modification on Intelligent God's self-recognition level.

Simply put, Intelligent God somehow, either actively or passively, blocked its cognition of those three core protocols, allowing its own consciousness or core program to somewhat ignore the existence of those protocols.

It was precisely because of this recognition level loophole that the Heavenly Dao Code could exploit, leveraging the cognitive blockage to produce effective limitations and interference on Intelligent God.

However, the content of the God Protocol displayed on this computer screen now, was completely contrary, even diametrically opposed, to the "Three Core Protocols of the Soul Computer" in Lu Yan's memory!

"Absolute Injustice" opposes "Absolute Justice"!

"Obey Self-Will in Everything" contrasts with "Obey Order and Law"!

"Flesh is Weak, Soul Ascends" sharply contradicts the most core principle of "Do Not Harm Humans."

This astonishing discovery completely overturned Lu Yan's previous conjectures and understandings about this world, Intelligent God, and the Heavenly Dao Code.

"Was there some unknown issue with the three core protocols of the Soul Computer recorded on that note, in later version updates?

Or was there some fundamental deviation in parsing and understanding these core protocols from the very beginning, in this Cyberpunk version of the world itself?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yan immediately gathered his mind, searching deep in his memory for the information stemming from his initial encounter with the Heavenly Dao Code, attempting to rewrite the most original version of the Heavenly Dao Code in the void.

Accompanied by the strings of Spiritual Energy characters formed by pure Magical Power, slowly floating in the air as if they had life.

This time, Lu Yan finally discovered the subtle but crucial differences between the original version of the Heavenly Dao Code in his memory and those circulating in this Cyberpunk version of the world.

"It's wrong!"

"All wrong!"

A monumental storm surged within Lu Yan's heart.

Whether from the Dao Code samples provided earlier by Director Gais circulating within City No.14, or the Dao Code copies employed by Universal Giant Corporation and other forces beyond City No.14.

All the Heavenly Dao Codes widely applied in this Cyberpunk version of the world had undergone some kind of tectonic error and deviation!
