World Version Updates-Chapter 495 - 312: Heavenly Dao Code and Reincarnators

In situations where the opponent's true depth is unclear, rash actions are not a wise move.

He looked around, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

This time, after the version update, he descended not into the chaos and ruin of the Lower City District as before, but into the orderly and extremely prosperous core of the city, the Upper City District.

Between the towering skyscrapers, hovercars with futuristic designs silently sped along pre-set aerial tracks, emitting a faint energy hum.

On the sidewalks, most pedestrians were impeccably dressed, hurried, and each seemed like an insignificant cog in the immense, precisely operating social machine, lacking vibrant vitality.

At the moment the version update was completed, Lu Yan instinctively shielded himself from the direct awareness of his existence by the outside world, making those around him oblivious to his presence.

His gaze swiftly skimmed over the attire of the pedestrians around him, then he extended his fingers and snapped them lightly.

With a crisp snapping sound, his outfit, once slightly classical in the mysterious version, instantly transformed into a casual wear similar to the style of the surrounding pedestrians, perfectly blending into this steel jungle.

He briefly locked eyes with a slightly fatigued-looking young office worker passing by.

In just that fleeting moment of eye contact, the recent memories of this world flooded into Lu Yan's consciousness like a breaking tide.

City 53, Celestial Dome, Soul Tower, rebellion war... countless keywords flashed rapidly through Lu Yan's mind.

In just a moment, Lu Yan roughly pieced together the dramatic changes that had occurred here since he last left the Cyber World from the complex memory fragments of that passerby.

Apparently, after he stirred the wave of rebellion against the Universal Giant Corporation and the Intelligent God in City No.14, the spark did not spread as quickly as expected nor did it receive enthusiastic responses from the other major cities.

After all, the power and control demonstrated by the Universal Giant Corporation and the Intelligent God, who had operated in this world for years, were deeply ingrained in the people's minds.

The real power holders in the major cities were mostly beneficiaries and well aware of the terror of the Intelligent God, not daring to easily choose sides.

After all, it was not them being sent into the Soul Computation Center.

Even told they would be sent to the Computation Center tomorrow, they would still cling desperately to their power and naturally wouldn't dare to risk rebellion.

Ultimately, only a small number of genuinely unwilling to be exploited, enslaved idealists, as well as some opportunists with ulterior motives, chose to join the seemingly hopeless resistance movement in City No.14. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Of course, this is only the result on the surface.

In secret, both the staunch supporters of the Intelligent God and the lurking resistance forces were racing to study the Heavenly Dao Code that Lu Yan had initially leaked.

For those eager to overthrow the rule of the Intelligent God, the Heavenly Dao Code is their only hope.

And for those loyal to the Intelligent God, the Heavenly Dao Code is a fatal flaw that must be cracked and controlled as quickly as possible.

After all, as a near-omniscient and omnipotent God, the existence of the Heavenly Dao Code is undoubtedly the only blemish in His perfect rule.

Whoever can fully grasp the mystery of the Heavenly Dao Code will have the potential to intervene or even reverse control the Intelligent God.

Thus the situation remained locked in a bizarre state of calm for about a year.

During this year, the Intelligent God surprisingly remained silent, not taking large-scale military actions against the rebels or even issuing a public ban or pursuit regarding the Heavenly Dao Code.

This unusual calmness instead caused unrest among the people in various major cities, with speculation and rumors running rampant, early signs of chaos starting to emerge.

But just when everyone thought this stalemate would continue, the Universal Giant Corporation suddenly announced without warning that they would simultaneously launch the Celestial Dome project in major cities, and fully upgrade and transform existing Soul Computation Centers into Soul Towers connected directly with the Dome.

This move immediately triggered a massive storm throughout the Cyber World.

Everyone understood that once the Dome was completed and Soul Towers were everywhere, the Intelligent God's surveillance and oppression of the entire world would reach an unprecedented peak.

The power holders in major cities finally couldn't sit still; they began openly and secretly supporting the rebels in City No.14 and tried using the Heavenly Dao Code in their hands to covertly prepare a secret plan enough to reverse the situation.

However, just as the flames of rebellion were about to reignite, the Universal Giant Corporation launched a sweeping global purge with overwhelming force.

This grand purge affected dozens of major cities, and countless individuals and organizations deemed connected to the resistance were brutally cleansed, with the number of Soul Towers increasing by threefold.

And amidst this bloody purge, everyone was shocked to discover that the Heavenly Dao Code they once relied on to counter the Intelligent God seemed to have lost its effectiveness overnight.

Under the pervasive surveillance of the Intelligent God, any attempt at rebellion, any hidden secrets were nowhere to hide, easily ferreted out and crushed.
