Chapter 422 Law Field
The sixty days passed much faster than Su Fan had anticipated, thanks to the continuous operation of the Law Resonance Field.
Every morning, he would squat on the South Heavenly Gate city wall to eat breakfast as usual, with the broken mirror lying flat on his knees. The panoramic view of the purple-gold resonance field on the mirror surface would have an extra layer of extremely fine law patterns each day.
Those patterns slowly seeped in from the core of the resonance field in all four directions of the primordial continent. The speed of the seepage was extremely slow, but it never stopped.
Every morning at dawn, the system scans the entire region using the cardiac network. The scan results show that the number of 3,789 light filaments that have achieved complete synchronous beating is increasing day by day.
From about one-third on the first day, it was more than half by the twentieth day, more than three-quarters by the fortieth day, and by the fiftieth day, less than three hundred light filaments were left slowly adjusting the final frequency deviation.
After sharpening his axe blade on the morning of the fifty-third day, A Dou stood up, spat out the grass stems from his mouth, and glanced towards the direction of the Guixu Crack.
The halo of light, with its gray-white base and purple-gold threads, remained extremely bright and stable even after sixty consecutive days without being chopped by anything. The edge of the halo showed no signs of decay.
"The aura of the small axe's laws operated stably for sixty days without any chopping, indicating that A Dou's body had formed a deep bond with the frequency of the resonant field's laws."
Xu crouched at the edge of the crevice, pulled his right hand out from his chest, and looked down at the purple-gold pattern on his palm.
"The binding method is exactly the same as the synchronization method between the old domain filament and the seed."
Every day when A Dou squatted at the entrance of the weapons shop to sharpen his axe blade, the purple-gold threads in the aura of his small axe would automatically release extremely weak pulses of law perception towards the core of the resonance field.
The pulse was not directed towards the Ruins Crack, but rather radiated along the coverage of the resonance field towards the boundary of the entire Primordial Law Environment.
The function of those pulses is to continuously monitor the changes in the law pressure at the boundaries of the four laws of the primordial continent, and transmit the change data back to the core of the resonance field in real time for aggregation.
When A Dou wasn't chopping things, his little axe wasn't idle either.
Su Fan stuffed the last bite of his steamed bun into his mouth, stood up, and brushed off the crumbs. "Were those data on the changes in law pressure transmitted to the old domain through the resonance field after being aggregated?"
"It's been sent."
Xu turned his palm over to show Su Fan.
"The core of the old domain receives a complete summary data package of the pressure from the boundary laws of the primordial continent every three days."
The data packet contains more detailed information than the visuals—visuals can only show the static outline of the law structure, while pressure data can show the tension distribution and changing trends of every inch of the law membrane wall along the four boundaries of the primordial continent.
After receiving this data, the origin of the Old Domain's laws will use it to continuously calibrate the parameters of its core operation. After calibration, the pulsating rhythm of the 3,789 light filaments within the Old Domain will more precisely match the breathing rhythm of the Primordial Seed.
On the evening of the fifty-seventh day, when Eros stood at the edge of the White Rock Plateau and activated all ten transparent law patterns on his hands, the core of the Different Frequency Law Perception Array emitted its first frequency change in sixty days.
The change was extremely subtle—from a continuous, low hum to a very regular, intermittent, pulsed hum, with the interval between hums being exactly the same as the time required for the seed to beat once.
At the same moment, the seed's purple-gold halo also brightened slightly, and after it finished shining, the area of the halo's spread was less than the width of a finger wider than before.
"The law of different frequencies is completely integrated into the resonance field."
Eros looked down at the transparent law patterns on his fingertips. Over the course of sixty days, the patterns had gradually changed from transparent to purplish-gold, and the color was getting closer and closer to the hue of the halo on the surface of the seed.
"It is no longer just a property of the bridge's laws."
It is becoming part of the bridge itself.
Once all the light filaments are synchronized, the perception benchmark of the heterogeneous frequency law will be completely fixed as the intermediate state law frequency between the primordial world and the old domain.
Once fixed, it will neither lean towards the primordial nor the old domain; it is the organ that expresses the laws of the resonance field itself.
Late at night on the fifty-ninth day, Su Fan was awakened from his sleep by a very slight vibration.
The vibration didn't come from underground, but from inside his chest cavity—his heartbeat suddenly quickened slightly in the dead of night, then quickly returned to its original speed, but there was a very faint resonance noise between the recovered heartbeat and the previous heartbeat.
He sat up and placed his hand on the broken mirror. The panoramic view of the resonance field on the mirror showed that only the last seven of the three thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine light filaments around the core of the old domain were still undergoing frequency fine-tuning, while the rest had all completed their pulsation in complete synchronization with the seed.
He put on his coat, walked to the entrance of the weapons shop, and squatted on the threshold.
In the darkness of the night, a stable purplish-gold halo shone from the direction of the Guixu Crack. The halo spread out over a larger area than during the day, almost covering the entire surface of the white rock plateau.
The edge of the halo glowed with a faint silvery-white fluorescence in the pitch-black night. Within the fluorescence was a dense network of laws and patterns, the direction of which completely overlapped with the original direction of the silvery-gray passage in the white rock layer.
"The final seven optical filaments are expected to be synchronized by tomorrow morning."
The sound of the Void came from the direction of the crack. Although it was a great distance away, the transmission of the law resonance field made his voice as clear as if he were squatting next to Su Fan.
"After synchronization is complete, mirror resonance will form immediately."
The moment tomorrow morning, when the golden light of Mars shines upon the walls of the Southern Heavenly Gate, the direct connection between the Primordial World and the Old Realm will begin.
At that time, there will be no need for visuals, data, or any intermediate format law translation.
Both sides will directly perceive each other's real-time status—every change in the flow rate of the halo of the old domain core, every pulsation of every light filament, and every rotation of every fragment of the law membrane will produce a completely corresponding mirror perception on the primordial side.
The reverse is also true.
Su Fan did not answer.
He squatted on the threshold, gazing at the purple-gold halo in the direction of the Ruins of Return, his heartbeat perfectly overlapping with the rhythm of the seed deep within the rift in the stillness of the night.
He couldn't distinguish which moment belonged to him and which belonged to the seed.
Before dawn, he carried the Pangu Axe up the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
As the golden light of Mars slowly rose from the base of the eastern membrane, Eros and Ruins were already standing on the edge of the White Rock Plateau.
After being woken up by Su Fan, A Dou followed him over, his small axe tucked into his waistband, and he squatted on the flattest white rock at the edge of the crack.
Four people were waiting.
The moment the golden light covered the top of the city wall, the pulsating rhythm of the seed of law deep in the crack suddenly changed.
It changed speed in less than a breath before returning to its original speed, and after returning to its original speed, it was no different from before. But when Xu pulled his right hand out of his chest and looked down at his palm, all 3,789 light threads on the purple-gold pattern on his palm were displayed as completely synchronized.
At this moment, the last seven light filaments completed their frequency fine-tuning.
The resonance field remained still for a very brief moment after that.
In an instant, Su Fan only had time to blink once before a sense of law, both extremely unfamiliar and extremely familiar, surged from the depths of his chest.
That perception didn't come from the outside; it arose naturally from within his own structure of laws—like a feeling that had always existed but had been blocked by something finally being unblocked.
He sensed the temperature of the old domain's core.
It's neither too hot nor too cold; the temperature is exactly the same as the purple-gold halo on the surface of the seed.
He sensed that the golden law fragments deposited in the three axe-back depressions inside the core were releasing extremely subtle golden pulses at an extremely slow and steady pace, the frequency of which completely overlapped with his heartbeat.
He sensed that the law nodes at the ends of each of the 3,789 light filaments were in different states—some were slowly rotating, some were trembling very slightly, some were continuously releasing very weak law reverberations, and the smiling arc law pattern on the farthest fragment lit up on its own the instant he sensed it.
"Mirror resonance has been formed."
Xu's voice was extremely soft, as if he were afraid of disturbing something.
"I can feel the release of golden pulses from the three depressions deep within the core of the old domain."
The rhythm of the release was perfectly synchronized with the pulsating rhythm of the purplish-gold line on the outside of my ribs.
I can sense the axial tilt of the farthest fragment as it rotates within the void of the old domain.
Each rotation of the deflection angle will overlap with our law time coordinate once.
In the instant of overlap, I felt something tremble slightly beneath the smile's arc, sealed by the fragments.
Eros did not speak.
He lowered his head, and ten transparent law patterns on his hands automatically converged into an extremely stable purple-gold pillar of light in his palms. The pillar of light reflected a real-time image of the entire law structure inside the core of the old domain.
The mirror image was infinitely more accurate than any image he had previously received using the perception pulse—he could see the subtle changes in the flow rate of every wisp of dark purple light on the core surface, the direction of the law ripples spreading from the golden fragments at the bottom of the three depressions at the moment the pulse was released, and the state feedback of each of the three thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine light filaments.
"I sense the origin of the laws of the old domain confirming a state of resonance."
Eros gathered the beam of light back into his palm.
"The way to confirm this is not by releasing a law signal, but by adjusting the flow rate of the halo on the core surface."
After the mirror resonance was formed, the flow rate automatically increased slightly, and after that, all the law nodes within the entire old domain increased slightly in sync.
That acceleration is the original law of the old domain actively adjusting its own operating rhythm to better match the breathing depth of the primordial seed.
It's adapting to us.
Su Fan put the Pangu Axe down from his shoulder and stood on the city wall, supporting himself with both hands on the top of the axe handle.
There were now two layers of noise pulsating simultaneously in his chest cavity—one was his own heartbeat, and the other was a mirror perception of the synchronized pulsation of the old domain core and all the light filaments.
The two layers of background noise have perfectly synchronized rhythms. When they are stacked together, there is no discrepancy whatsoever. It's as natural as the echoes of the same heart beating simultaneously reaching two walls.
"There is no longer a barrier between us and the Old Realm."
Su Fan's voice was very low.
"I can feel movement over there."
It's not a picture, not data, not a translated law signal.
Everything that was happening over there simultaneously generated a corresponding law response within my body.
I don't need to understand the images, decode the data, or comprehend the translated signals.
I only need to stand there quietly to know what the situation is like over there.
If the rotation speed of any node at the end of any of those light filaments changes, a very slight change in the temperature of the corresponding location in my chest cavity will occur.
When a golden pulse is released from the core, a certain point on the inside of my ribs will feel a slight tremor.
The smiling arc pattern on the farthest fragment trembled the instant its axis of rotation overlapped with our time coordinates, and a very slight tingling sensation would sweep across the back of my neck.
A Dou squatted on the white rock and pulled out the small axe, placing it horizontally on his knee.
The halo of gray-white and purple-gold threads on the axe blade became a whole color level brighter after the mirror resonance was formed, and the direction of the purple-gold threads inside the halo changed from being scattered and random to being extremely regular.
Each filament points to a specific end node of the old domain filament, with such precision that it can be directly identified as one of the 3,789 filaments without any calibration.
"The little axe is sensing things for me."
A Dou's voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up.
"It can see what is happening on every node in the old domain."
Within the gray-white halo, each of the purple-gold threads corresponds to an old domain light thread. A lit thread indicates that the node is actively operating, while a dark thread indicates that the node is dormant.
There are currently about two thousand lit threads, while the remaining one thousand or so are still dormant.
However, at the ends of those two thousand-plus lit threads, about three hundred nodes were continuously releasing extremely faint ripples of law.
The content of the ripples did not originate from the laws of the old domain; rather, it was the lingering resonance of ancient consciousness sealed within those nodes, activated by mirror resonance, naturally seeping out.
Su Fan took the broken mirror out of his waist.
The panoramic view of the purple-gold resonance field on the mirror now has an additional layer of content—a network of 3,789 hair-thin dark purple light threads has emerged at the height corresponding to the coordinates of the core space of the old domain, outside the boundary line of the primordial continent.
The network diagram is extremely dense and detailed, with each filament marked with a tiny purple-gold dot at its end. The brightness of the dot changes in real time according to the activity level of the corresponding node.
He magnified the brightest spot of light—that spot corresponded to the smiling arc on the farthest fragment.
The brightness of the light spot jumped a bit at the moment the mirror resonance was formed, and then stabilized at a level that was about 30% brighter than before.
The outline of the smiling arc pattern is so clear inside the light spot that you can see the turning angle and depth of each line.
There was indeed a very subtle tremor continuously occurring at the bottom of the arc—this tremor had always existed before the mirror resonance was formed, but only the heart network of the Ruins could barely detect a trace of its aftereffect. Now that the resonance was formed, the tremor was so clear that Su Fan could feel a very slight numbness continuously coming from the back of his neck even through the broken mirror.
"What is that smiling curve trembling about?" Su Fan asked.
The ruins sensed something for a long time.
His right hand remained inserted in his chest, and his heart's vascular network continuously received mirror resonance data from the furthest fragments.
After the sensing ended, he withdrew his right hand, his fingertips gleaming with an extremely bright purple-gold light.
The tremor at the bottom of that smiling arc does not originate from the inherent laws and structure of the arc itself.
It was a wisp of extremely fine dust of law that the life form that carved that arc left behind at the very bottom of the pattern before it dissipated.
Dust particles are extremely small and rare, so rare that they are indistinguishable from all previous methods of perception.
However, once mirror resonance is formed, the laws of the resonance field penetrate deep enough to reach the dust at the bottom of the texture.
When the resonant ripples touched the dust, the last lingering echo of consciousness sealed within the dust was activated.
The echo is—"
Xu paused for a moment, looking down at the purple-gold light on his fingertips.
"The reverberation is a very short, lingering emotional resonance of the law."
The content of emotions is satisfaction.
"Satisfied." Su Fan repeated the word, holding it in his mouth.
"satisfy."
Ruins say.
"The life form of that law did not immediately disappear after it finished carving the smiley arc."
After carving the last stroke of the pattern, it stood still for a very short time, during which it released a faint lingering trace of the law's emotions.
The lingering charm was captured and preserved by the patterns carved into its bottom, and has remained there to this day.
The mirror resonance activated that lingering resonance, which was transmitted to us through the resonance field.
The true meaning of the transmitted content is that it felt very satisfied before it dissipated.
It's not that it's satisfied after the patterns are carved, but that the act of dissipating itself brings it satisfaction.
It's had enough of living.
It drifted alone within the Old Domain for an extremely long time, so long that it didn't even remember when it appeared.
It was so long that it felt it should dissipate.
Before it vanished, it carved a smiling arc. After carving it, it stood still for that last short time, and in that quiet moment, it confirmed one thing in its heart—it was ready.
Once it was ready to leave, it contentedly waited for itself to slowly dissipate.
The city wall remained quiet for a very long time.
The golden light from Mars had illuminated the entire South Heavenly Gate city wall extremely brightly. The purple-gold light membrane was so thin in the light that it was almost invisible, but the flow of laws beneath the golden patterns continued to operate.
After the mirror resonance formed, the purple-gold halo of the law seed deep in the rift expanded outward by a small circle. The density of the silver-white law fluorescence at the edge of the halo was higher than before, and each line of the law pattern network sealed inside the fluorescence precisely overlapped with the corresponding filament position on the old domain light filament network diagram.
"Can we speak directly with the Old Domain now?"
A Dou put the small axe away and tucked it back into his waistband. He stood up and dusted off his knees.
Su Fan shook his head.
"What is transmitted through mirror resonance is the lingering feeling of perception and emotion, not language."
We can sense the temperature of the old domain core, the operating status of the light filaments, and the emotional content of the remnants sealed inside the nodes, but that content is not composed of words or sounds.
These are the most primitive sensory data at the level of laws—temperature, vibration, flow rate, density, tremor, numbness, and satisfaction.
The language in the primordial world is an expression tool that naturally developed as life forms evolved according to the laws of the primordial world. Language has never developed in the old realm.
Their mode of communication, from the very beginning, has been the perception of laws themselves.
Eros walked over from the edge of the white rock plateau and stood beside Suvan. "But we can teach it."
"What should we teach?" Su Fan asked.
"Teach it language."
Eros stretched out his hand, palm facing the direction of the Ruins of Return, and activated all ten transparent purple-gold law patterns.
A dark purple beam of light extended from his palm, condensing into an extremely fine thread of law in the air.
The other end of the thread probed deep into the crack and melted into the purple-gold halo on the seed's surface the instant it touched it.
After merging in, the seed's pulsating rhythm paused slightly, then resumed its original speed. After resuming, a very thin ripple layer appeared on the surface of the seed's aura.
The shape of the ripple layer is not the old purple-gold halo structure, but a precise replica of the law-based sound wave ripples generated by Su Fan's voice in the air when he spoke on the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
"I have sealed the data of the sound waves of the laws you generate when you speak into the seed translation unit."
Eros lowered his hand.
"The translation unit transforms those ripple data into an equivalent structure corresponding to the frequency of the old domain law, and continuously transmits it to the core of the old domain through mirror resonance."
After the old domain core receives that data, its internal rule structure will attempt to parse and imitate it on its own.
Learning is the process of analyzing and imitating.
It's learning the way you speak.
"The origin of the laws of the old domain can learn to speak?" A Dou's eyes widened.
"You may not necessarily be able to learn to make sounds with your mouth."
But it can learn to use rules and structures to simulate the shape of sound waves.
Once it learns this, the law signals it releases will no longer be just perception pulses or law images; it will use equivalent law structures to express what it wants to say.
At that time, it will be able to use its structure to tell the primordial world what it wants to say, without us needing to guess the meaning of those temperature changes and numbness through mirror resonance.
Su Fan put away the shattered mirror, hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder, and looked at the extra layer of ripples on the surface of the law seed deep in the Guixu Crack.
The ripple layer is extremely thin and transparent, almost invisible in the purple-gold halo, but when you look at it quietly, you can tell that the shape of the ripples is exactly the same as the outline of the sound waves that vibrate in the air when a human speaks.
How long does it take to learn a language?
Eros shook his head.
"have no idea.
The original law structure of the Old Domain is completely different from that of the Primordial World, and its way of learning languages is not the same as our way of learning languages.
It doesn't need to understand the meaning of words or the logic of grammar. It only needs to replicate the shape of sound waves into its own rule structure, and then learn to call the corresponding structure when it needs to express something.
Its learning speed depends on the accuracy of the mirror resonance in data transmission.
The higher the precision, the faster the learning.
Xu walked out from the edge of the crevice, his right hand pulled out from his chest and spread out.
A layer of extremely fine ripples appeared on the purple-gold diagram in his palm. The shape of the ripples was exactly the same as the sound waves of law generated when Su Fan spoke.
The ripples were replicating and extending on the graph at an extremely slow speed, as if the old domain core was comparing and matching the received data with its internal law structure frame by frame.
"The old domain core has begun matching."
Ruins say.
"It breaks down the morphological data of sound wave ripples into more than 30,000 extremely small law-based structural fragments, with each light filament assigned to a fragment."
The light filaments transmit the fragments along the ends to each node, and the internal laws and structures of the nodes will try to embed the fragments into their own operating rhythm.
Once embedded, the nodes will provide matching results to the core, which will then aggregate the feedback from all nodes to adjust the overall learning progress.
The learning process is participatory—all 3,789 filaments and all the nodes at their ends are learning the same thing simultaneously.
They learned the sound wave patterns generated when speaking in the primordial world.
"What will it say after it learns it?" A Dou asked.
Su Fan remained silent for a moment.
It will first speak the law structure corresponding to the sound wave pattern of the two words "primordial chaos".
Because in the first sound wave data it just received, the word 'primordial' appeared most frequently throughout the entire passage.
The most frequent words will be prioritized for identification and memorization by the old domain core.
Once the memory is complete, when it needs to express the concept of "Primordial Chaos" using a law structure, it will directly call the law structure module that matches the sound wave pattern of "Primordial Chaos".
Eros nodded.
"Based on the current matching speed, it will take approximately fifteen to twenty days for the old domain core to learn the law structure expression of the word 'primordial chaos'."
Once learned, it will actively release that structural module in the mirror resonance—at that time, what we perceive through the mirror resonance will no longer be just the temperature changes and light filament vibrations of the old domain core, but we will directly perceive a law structure so clear that it can be understood without translation.
The structure is derived from the meaning of the two characters 'primordial chaos'.
Su Fan put the Pangu Axe down from his shoulder and stood with his hands supporting the top of the axe handle.
The two layers of background noise in his chest continued to beat: one was his own heartbeat, and the other was the mirror resonance of the old domain core and the three thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine light filaments.
After the two layers of background noise were superimposed, he couldn't tell which one was his own and which one came from the old domain, just as he couldn't tell from which direction the purple-gold light membrane on the South Heaven Gate city wall started to thin out.
"Then let's wait."
Su Fan said.
"In fifteen to twenty days, the core of the old domain will utter its first word."
Xu placed his right hand back on his chest, and the purple-gold diagram in his palm slowly closed within the afterimage of the laws.
Eros extinguished the ten law patterns on his hands one by one, walked to the edge of the white rock plateau, squatted down, and watched the ripples on the surface of the law seed deep in the crack slowly rise and fall as it pulsated.
A Dou put the grass stem back in his mouth, squatted back on the flat white rock, pulled out the small axe, placed it horizontally on his knee, and continued to stare at the light and shadow changes of the purple and gold threads on the gray-white background.
Su Fan carried the Pangu Axe and walked back towards the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
When he reached the foot of the city wall, he stopped and looked up at the daylight above the crenellations.
The golden light from Mars had illuminated the entire sky, and the purple-gold light film on the city wall was so thin under the strong light that it was almost invisible, but Su Fan could still sense that it was still there.
He could sense that 3,789 light threads were pulsating synchronously in the old domain.
You can sense the smiley arc on the farthest fragment trembling slightly when the axis of rotation and the time coordinates overlap.
It can be sensed that the aura of law within the core of the old domain is continuously operating, transmitting law energy to all the scattered nodes.
He squatted down by the crenellations, leaned the Pangu Axe against the city bricks, and placed the broken mirror flat on his knees.
The panoramic image of the purple-gold resonance field on the mirror surface shone extremely steadily and evenly in the morning light of the alternating day and night, and the mixed light of dark purple and silver-white on the boundary line of the primordial continent was even more intense than before.
On the old domain space coordinates outside the boundary line, 3,789 light filaments are arranged in the mirror to form an extremely dense and fine network of laws. The purple-gold light spot at the end of each filament on the network is alternating between bright and dark according to its own rhythm.
The light spot on the farthest fragment continued to shine.
The smiling arc pattern shimmered with a faint purple-gold fluorescence in the dim light of the shattered mirror's remnants.
The subtle tremors at the bottom of the arc under the fluorescent light continued.
The slight tingling sensation that the tremor caused on the back of Su Fan's neck continued—it was neither irritating nor bothersome, just quietly there.
It was like a law-based life form that had lived alone for countless years in a very, very distant place and then carved a smiling arc before dissipating. Even after countless eons had dissipated, it continued to release the faint satisfaction of its last moment before disappearing, separated by a law membrane and the extremely distant void.
Su Fan flipped the broken mirror over and leaned it against the city brick, then closed his eyes and leaned against the crenellation.
The wind blew his sideburns up and down as it blew past the top of the city wall.
The two layers of background noise in his chest cavity were still throbbing, and the temperature perception of the old domain core continued to be transmitted steadily within his body. The synchronous pulsation of the three thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine light filaments left a very faint residual warmth of the law at each corresponding position on the inside of his ribs.
The residual heat was neither too high nor too low, exactly the same temperature as the purple-gold halo on the surface of the seed deep in the crack.
The primordial wilderness and the old realm danced together.
