Chapter 655: Proximity to Cosmic Rules

In the Red Heaven realm,

At Tengzhou Zixue Academy, near the Multiverse Gate Tower.

The three of them walked out of the transmission point with Aifina, and the little girl bounced around, curiously observing her surroundings.

“Is this really the Red Heaven realm? It looks a lot like the research institute!"

Aifina tugged at Tiankai’s maid outfit skirt.

“The style of the research institute is indeed inherited from the Red Heaven realm, but it’s quite different from Bicu City. Haven’t you been to Bicu City?”

“No, the professor said the outside world is chaotic and could be dangerous, so we’re not allowed to go out.”

Aifina shook her head.

“I’ll take you out to see it when you get the chance; as long as you have strength, there’s nowhere you can’t go. Next time we return to the Bicu World, you’ll be the Fairy Queen!”

Tiankai joyfully lifted Aifina up.

“Oh! Fairy Queen!”

Aifina shouted happily, without a trace of doubt.

“A True Spirit! After just one practical class, even the teacher for the Spirit Control class is gone. I wonder who will come to teach us next.”

Xie Jinglun sighed, rubbing his forehead.

“As long as it’s not someone like Zuo Ming, it’s fine. With the Super Memory Library, even difficult problems can be resolved with insights from predecessors. The teacher’s importance has already diminished; otherwise, one teacher wouldn’t handle so many roles.”

Yun Ye raised his hand, showing his Spiritual Attire. “The student council called for me; it should be related to the deaths of the eight seats. I’ll leave Aifina to you.”

“What do you mean ‘leave her to us’? Aifina is my contracting True Spirit, so don’t even think about it!” Tiankai said, on guard.

Yun Ye said nothing to refute her, smiled, and waved goodbye, his figure gradually disappearing from sight.

“Tiankai, are you going to the Infinite Library now? I want to contract a Shimmering Fairy too; I’d like to check it out.”

Xie Jinglun asked.

“Then let’s go together. Solving Aifina’s issue sooner will help us settle down.”

Tiankai said casually.

She hadn’t even changed clothes and headed straight for the Infinite Library at Zixue Academy with Xie Jinglun, causing quite a stir along the way.

If those who hadn’t entered the campus forum saw this, they would surely be bewildered—were the geniuses of Zixue this idle?

Indeed, they were quite idle; after all, multitasking was a basic operation for these geniuses. They valued information far beyond the external perception. Although Tiankai and Xie Jinglun had just returned, the news related to the deaths of the eight seats had already spread, making it natural for them to pay attention to the involved parties.

It was definitely not just because Tiankai was extraordinarily beautiful.

“Maid outfit! Maid outfit!!!”

“Why does Tiankai dress so conservatively? I’m still moved?!”

“I suddenly want to raise a pink-haired little fox!”

“Wow, you want to raise a little fox? You’re just craving Tiankai, how low!”

The school’s internal network was instantly flooded with screenshots of Tiankai.

There was no way around it; only Tiankai was willing to cooperate and take pictures, while the other beautiful women refused to show their faces, citing privacy concerns.

“This is the Infinite Library, a database that records all knowledge and power, belonging to the Tengzhou Zixue Academy branch.”

“New Tomorrow welcomes you.”

As the door opened, the three were greeted by a smiling Woman in Red.

New Tomorrow.

This is the common intelligent image of the library, said to be the spirit of the Original Dao Artifact from generations of artifacts. The Celestial Empire added the word "New" to distinguish it from the true Dao Spirit, making it a well-known and deeply rooted intelligent representation.

“Is this really the Infinite Library? It’s my first time here.”

Xie Jinglun looked around.

He noticed that as he entered, the environment shifted naturally with each step, transforming into a starry cosmic realm. Gazing into the distance, he saw the vast endless galaxies, suddenly feeling an extraordinary sense of remoteness, as if he would spend a lifetime without ever exploring even a fraction of it.

New Tomorrow stood before the three, her gaze resting on Aifina. “Are you all here to adjust this young lady from the True Spirit Clan? May I ask what kind of plan you need?”

“Um, this is Aifina, a member of the Shimmering Fairy Clan from the Bicu World. Is there a mature adjustment plan for the Shimmering Fairy Clan in the database?”

“Yes, level six researcher Zuo Ming has published a large number of related adjustment plans that can adapt to most members of the Shimmering Fairy Clan. You can choose based on your needs, or you can leave the choice to this young lady from the True Spirit Clan.”

“Please present a general overview of all the plans’ pros and cons, and list those with a compatibility over 60% separately.”

“Compatibility testing begins…”

A beam of light fell down, enveloping Aifina, performing a comprehensive test.

Following this, various adjustment plans were arranged in order based on the results of the compatibility test, appearing before Tiankai.

The operation was smooth as flowing water, surprising Xie Jinglun.

He realized Tiankai seemed extremely familiar with this place; had she studied it in advance?

The Infinite Library, fully named the Multiverse Data Unlimited Rewriting Database, is a facility capable of implanting bloodlines and transforming souls, regarded as the highest achievement of the Celestial Empire. It allowed innate talents that were extremely hard to change to be modified into ‘data’ as long as there were resources, technology, and money available.

Logically speaking, they were only first-year students and hadn’t needed to access the Infinite Library yet. After all, whether it was bloodline excavation or something else, they had not yet reached their limits and didn’t require strengthening or rewriting their bodies.

For someone as talented as Tiankai, there was even less need to use the library; she wouldn’t have to understand it at all within four years.

However, this thought quickly crossed Xie Jinglun’s mind. For geniuses like them, it wouldn’t take long to learn these things; they might have taken an interest and casually looked into it, then grasped everything completely.

Tiankai browsed through the information and fell into deep thought.

The Shimmering Fairy Clan was well-known thanks to Zuo Ming, making it valuable, and where there’s a market, there’s development. There were quite a few promising adjustment directions, but many of the data Tiankai knew instinctively would require extensive experimentation to succeed. In this process, the Shimmering Fairy Clan would probably…

Before making adjustments, she first needed to determine her goal.

Enhance Aifina’s potential?

Give Aifina greater combat power?

Help her adapt to the rules of the Red Heaven realm?

“What’s important now is to adapt to the rules of the Red Heaven realm. The other decisions can come later.”

“Then I’ll choose this!”

Tiankai selected the “Rule Adaptation Adjustment Plan.” The next moment, after deducting massive funds and credits, Aifina was enveloped by a beam of light, and her body and soul began a fundamental transformation to align with the native rules of the Red Heaven realm.

During this process, numerous illusory Order Chains appeared around Aifina, and countless impurities evaporated, causing both of them to stir with emotion.

Currently, the Celestial Empire distinguished different worlds by their “proximity to rules.” The universe where the Celestial Empire resided is commonly known as the Red Heaven realm or Red Heaven Universe.

The Red Heaven realm is the reference point for assessing proximity to rules, hence it is called the Origin Point Universe.

Surrounding the Red Heaven realm are many created Heavenly Cavern Universes, with histories similar to the Red Heaven realm and consistent power rules, having infinite developmental potential akin to that of the Red Heaven realm. The only drawback is their deep binding with the Red Heaven; once the Red Heaven is destroyed, these worlds will collapse as well.

Worlds of this type are defined as “Parallel Universes,” which fall under the “Origin Point Universe.” Although they are distinct universes and different worlds, there is no discomfort when traversing between them; all knowledge and power are interoperable.

Beneath the Parallel Universes are those that have been integrated into the Red Heaven Universe and are completely controlled by it.

The rules of these universes align with those of the Red Heaven realm and are gradually being devoured by the “Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven,” merging into the Red Heaven realm.

These universes are referred to as “Approximate Universes,” where life has difficulty interchanging. Various rules have certain repulsiveness and require the protection of the Master of Heaven’s Cavern. However, once protection is granted, a significant portion of their power can be restored.

Next are the “Marginal Universes,” which are under the interference range of the Red Heaven realm but are not fully controlled. These universes have a considerable repulsiveness, and even the power of the Master of Heaven’s Cavern is suppressed when they descend, much less the average cultivator who has received their protection.

Finally, there are the “Opposing Universes,” which have never been developed at all, with rules that are completely incompatible with the Red Heaven realm. Cultivators must pioneer and invade these worlds, implanting Red Heaven realm rules within to reduce the repulsion.

Origin Point, Parallel, Approximate, Marginal, and Opposing—within these five levels, the Bicu World is categorized as Approximate. Its various rules are already very close to those of the Red Heaven realm, with only minor differences between worlds.

As a native Shimmering Fairy, Aifina’s physique is suited to the Bicu Universe, but it does not completely adapt to the Red Heaven realm, requiring adjustments.

Similarly, the cultivation system of the Bicu Universe has too low a priority and should be replaced by the Red Heaven realm’s cultivation system. This process involves not just loading some genes and bloodlines but also erasing the existing universe’s markers.

The illusory Order Chains are manifestations of these markers. Their origins are evidently substantial, and Tiankai and Xie Jinglun both focused on these Order Chains, hoping to discern their significance. However, unfortunately, without reaching the level of the Master of Heaven’s Cavern or Honored Position, understanding world order and world laws was entirely beyond them.

Until the bloodline transformation was complete, neither of them had gained any insight.

After Aifina’s affiliation was modified, she fell into a deep sleep, giving them no chance to ask about her feelings.

“Is that it?”

“The rules of the Red Heaven exert a crushing effect on Approximate Universes. How long does it take to change affiliation? Let’s go, let’s go! I want to hold Aifina and sleep with her on the first night, lifting her up high!”

“Oh.”
