"You're that confident?"
Ye Ling looked at the excited Mu Bai in surprise, seemingly still processing Mu Bai's drastic transformation.
"Of course, you have no idea how much potential this special script holds!" Mu Bai's eyes gleamed. "Just before coming out, I used this script to roughly write a program. I'll give you a demonstration right here."
As Mu Bai spoke, he retrieved a palm-sized computer from behind him and began operating it rapidly with one hand.
Soon, the surrounding environment underwent a massive change. Everyone present, except for Ye Ling, saw their cultivation disappear at a visible rate.
"Mu Bai! What did you do to us? Why is our power vanishing?"
Mieshi Linghuo, seeing his cultivation inexplicably disappear, couldn't help but show a flicker of panic and quickly questioned Mu Bai.
"Your power hasn't vanished; it's been transferred to another dimension," Mu Bai said with a smile to Mieshi Linghuo. His fingers danced across the keyboard, and then a spatial rift appeared before everyone.
Through the spatial rift, Ye Ling could see that the powers of Mieshi Linghuo, Nuo Ying, and Nuo Ye were all present in that new space.
"Is the space on the other side of the rift something you created temporarily?" Ye Ling asked Mu Bai.
"Mmm... I discovered that these special scripts have the ability to influence reality. I can, to a certain extent, alter the world through the programs I design..." Mu Bai, much like a scientist announcing a major discovery, explained the principles behind his achievements to Ye Ling in a torrent of words.
Upon hearing Mu Bai's words, Ye Ling once again fell into contemplation.
The program Mu Bai had developed was like a low-tier version of the power Ye Ling himself had pioneered. If Mu Bai spent more time refining it, it wouldn't be impossible for him to reassemble all things using that program.
However, Ye Ling didn't feel anxious or jealous because Mu Bai had acquired this ability. Instead, he gained inspiration from Mu Bai's program, realizing the infinite possibilities of his own "world."
Seeing Ye Ling lost in thought after explaining his program's principles, Mu Bai immediately realized Ye Ling had also thought of something and quickly asked, "Ye Ling, do you have new inspiration? Share it so we can discuss it. Only through the collision of our wisdom can we unlock the infinite potential of this power!"
"I do have some new ideas, but I need time to verify them."
As Ye Ling spoke, he activated his "world." A large amount of special script materialized around Ye Ling and quickly began to assemble.
However, these special scripts were different from those used to form various objects before. They were more akin to writing an article.
Mu Bai's pupils instantly widened as he saw the numerous scripts appearing around Ye Ling, and he was utterly shocked. "You don't mean... can this really be done?"
These special scripts were translated by him and Ye Ling together, and Mu Bai could understand the meaning of the scripts now appearing around Ye Ling.
"Since these special scripts can affect reality, then it can be done!"
Ye Ling said quickly, a fine sheen of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
It was clear that what he was doing now caused him immense strain, something that hadn't occurred when he used his "world" to reassemble objects before!
Mieshi Linghuo and Nuo Ying Nuo Ye couldn't understand the scripts, but they could tell from Mu Bai's shocked expression that Ye Ling was up to something big!
Soon, the special scripts around Ye Ling disappeared, and Ye Ling's face turned somewhat pale, indicating significant exertion.
However, nothing happened in the surroundings.
Mieshi Linghuo, seeing no change around them, grew more confused and asked, "Kid, what did you just do?"
"Shh!" Mu Bai suddenly interrupted Mieshi Linghuo, making a shushing gesture. His gaze was fixed intently outside the barrier, as if waiting for something to arrive.
Mu Bai's veins bulged on his hand, and he even crushed the computer in his hand.
Seeing Mu Bai so tense, Mieshi Linghuo also became nervous and followed Mu Bai's gaze, instinctively holding his breath.
The atmosphere within the barrier suddenly became strange, with everyone looking outside, not knowing what they were waiting for.
A quarter of an hour passed.
*Crack!*
The barrier covering the area suddenly shattered, and the clamor from outside rushed in.
"It actually worked!" Mu Bai's pupils contracted sharply as he saw the barrier crack, his entire body trembling violently with excitement.
Mieshi Linghuo was left bewildered by Mu Bai's actions. Before he could ask, Mu Bai quickly said, "Next, the legendary serpent Barton will be chased into the barrier by robots. Then Barton will smash the divinity factory and merge with the artificial intelligence I created!"
"What are you talking abou—"
Mieshi Linghuo looked at Mu Bai with confusion. Before he could voice his doubt, Barton, who had already transformed into a dragon, broke through the barrier and directly entered the divinity factory.
And outside the barrier, several robots emitting terrifying power slowly flew in.
Mieshi Linghuo watched, dumbfounded, and looked at Mu Bai with an expression of disbelief. "How did you know?"
Mu Bai stared intently at the robots that had entered the barrier and continued, "Barton, merged with the artificial intelligence, will gain the power to manipulate this virtual world, and then he will completely annihilate those robots!"
Hearing Mu Bai's words, Mieshi Linghuo was completely stunned, but his gaze remained fixed on Barton.
At this moment, Barton was covered in wounds. His massive body lay motionless in the divinity factory, his aura so weak it was almost imperceptible, on the verge of death.
"Destroy the virus, execute termination protocol." The voices of several robots were cold. They raised their arms towards Barton, their palms condensing terrifying energy, even causing the surrounding space to be coded!
"Kid!"
Mieshi Linghuo, seeing Barton about to be annihilated, immediately looked at Ye Ling, only to see Ye Ling gently shake his head, signaling him to watch from the side.
Seeing that Ye Ling had no intention of intervening, Mieshi Linghuo calmed down and watched the robots carry out their execution from his spot.
However, just as the robots finished accumulating enough power, a massive change suddenly occurred around Barton. His huge dragon body began to be covered by a large amount of armor.
"System loading complete. Counterattack initiated."
A cold voice from the artificial intelligence echoed from the mechanical factory. Barton flew out of the factory and stared coldly at the robots that were pursuing him.
"This..." Mieshi Linghuo was completely stunned as he saw Barton truly merge with the artificial intelligence, his expression one of utter disbelief.
*Boom!!!*
The next moment, Barton unleashed a torrent of energy dragon breath, completely obliterating the robots that managed the virtual world.
Seeing this, Ye Ling couldn't help but smirk. "As expected, if this power is used well... it's invincible..."
