That's information not worth recording. Failure leads to division, and division is the path to growth. Thirteenth person, have you considered that if we merely integrate and restore ourselves, what we'll gain is simply a 'me' that was forced to split due to failure?

[But having failed before, how can one guarantee that they won't suffer the same fate when faced with the same situation again?]

Incredibly, what was originally an unacceptable concept was easily understood at this moment, and Lin Yi also understood why it did not start a war the instant it made contact.

What it seeks is not “completeness”.

With a slightly hoarse voice, Lin Yi slowly spoke: "So... what you're seeking isn't your own 'completeness,' but another 'direction'?"

If one does not seek "completeness" from the remaining fragments, then there is naturally no need to fuse the "fragments".

If "fragments" are not needed, the most fundamental contradiction is lost, and the "fragment war" cannot be initiated.

Just as Lin Yi reached this conclusion, the white orb in front of him seemed to have read his mind and spoke again.

While not absolutely essential to me, 'fragments' are still an extremely important source of information. A single 'fragment' could save me tens of thousands of years of information gathering and exploration. Why would I refuse to obtain it?

My slightly agitated heart instantly calmed down, awaiting further explanation.

as predicted--

[You received the sixth 'answer,' which is to pass the 'test' by force. In my calculations, the success rate of engaging you in a 'fragment war' is 64.87%, and the probability of obtaining 'fragments' is 33.11%—compared to the risks involved, this gain is not worthwhile.]

Therefore, a "war" turned into an "exchange".

No matter how much you try to embellish it, this pure Dark Forest Law still applies to any "fragment" object. The premise of "equivalent exchange" is "equivalence"—both wealth and power. If it can be easily accomplished, why "exchange"? If you can't even meet the premise of "equivalence," then naturally there's no need to exchange.

Lin Yi was certain that there were definitely more than thirteen people who had truly stepped into the multiverse shaped by this "fragment," but many more had "disappeared" before they could even pass the "test."

After organizing all this information, Lin Yi finally understood how to communicate with the "fragments" in front of him.

At that moment, the white sphere of light also transmitted new information through slight vibrations.

[Among the thirteen visitors, your 'direction' ranked second, but that's not enough... Only when you find the right 'direction' and prove it feasible will everything I have belong to you.]

Lin Yi responded with indifference.

The information provided by the "fragment" suggests that the so-called "direction" is roughly to surpass the complete "God" form—that is, to surpass the concept of the fourth dimension. Regardless of whether Lin Yi is even clear about what this fourth dimension is, if he were to really understand it, would he still need to seek the consent of this "fragment"?

Ultimately, this was not the end of the "Fragment War" that Lin Yi mistakenly believed, but merely a "ceasefire" after a brief period of probing between two hunters who lacked sufficient confidence in the war. In fact, the intensity of this war did not diminish due to the "Fragment's" proposed ideas regarding "direction," but rather quite the opposite.

If the previous "fragment war" was merely a matter of life and death within the organization, then with the new "direction," even if all the "fragments" are collected, it will only be a stage in the process. Further ahead lies a direction that is completely unknown...

If this is the case when one intervenes in a four-dimensional concept with a three-dimensional body, one can only imagine how it is when one continues to move forward from the fourth-dimensional concept.

Just when Lin Yi thought this "contact" was going to end without any results, he suddenly remembered a piece of information that "Fragment" had mentioned before.

—Eight have been assimilated by me, three have disappeared, and one is moving in a different direction.

"Following the principle of 'equivalent exchange,' if I want to know information about the other four fragments besides the eight that you assimilated..."

He gripped the magic sword in his hand and thrust it forward: "Is this 'price' enough?"

The white sphere of light rotated slowly, seemingly calculating gains and losses, and finally—

The three missing fragments have been assimilated by the other fragments, and the remaining one was only noticed by me after I discovered your existence.

The pupils contract slightly.

[It was the second person to enter my world and, like you, obtain the sixth 'answer.' After recording its 'direction,' it left. It wasn't until your arrival that I realized it still existed and had even progressed to a more advanced 'path.']

"...Where is it?"

The "magic sword" in his hand was swallowed up and disappeared by an unknown force. As the "price" he paid, Lin Yi obtained the information he wanted.

Look into your eyes, what do you see?

The main god space.

A mirror forms in front of me, and I gaze at myself in it.

Deep within that right eye, behind the "door" leading to the source, a faint phantom lingers.

Then, Lin Yi heard that familiar voice—

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn…

Marvel Universe: Chapter 901 Marvel Universe (The End)

What could be worse than encountering a powerful enemy?

The answer is: When encountering two powerful enemies, the same O⒉/ scattered Er K 〇fin four fathers.

Only now does Lin Yi understand why "equivalent exchange" did not immediately launch a "fragment war" after discovering its existence.

Firstly, the gap in power and intelligence between them is not so vast as to be insurmountable. Although the number of fragments assimilated through "equivalent exchange" is several times that of Lin Yi, the "main god" in Lin Yi's mind did not devour only the first-stage fragments from a single encounter, but rather the later-stage products that had already been assimilated before contact.

Of course, this alone is not enough to make "equivalent exchange" give up. After all, Lin Yi has already personally experienced the cruelty of the fragment war. Even if the success rate is only half of 64.87%, it is still worth taking action.

What truly prevented it from acting in this way was the "third party" hidden in the shadows... an "outer god" who had once come into contact with Lin Yi within the "Information Integration Thought Entity" and left traces before disappearing.

At an unknown time and in an unknown place, they infiltrated and penetrated in an unknown way. Only now, after Lin Yi paid the "price," did the "equivalent exchange" that had once come into contact with them reveal their existence.

Looking back suddenly, I was startled to realize they were already lurking beside me. The shadows had already spread, waiting to engulf me completely…

It's conceivable that "equivalent exchange" didn't point out the existence of "Outer Gods" out of goodwill. From its own perspective, neither Lin Yi being completely unaware of "Outer Gods" and being swallowed up by them, nor "Outer Gods" being easily defeated by Lin Yi after he discovers their existence, would be a good thing. Only when both sides realize each other's existence and start a fragment war, fighting to the death, would that be the most beneficial situation for "equivalent exchange."

Thus, it easily revealed the existence of the "Outer God" at the "price" of a magic sword, then withdrew, waiting for the situation to develop further. Instead of immediately attacking upon discovering Lin Yi—if only Lin Yi had appeared, the outcome would have been almost inevitable; however, two appeared simultaneously.

Unable to determine whether it would be caught in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides while initiating the fragment war, "Equivalent Exchange" chose to "ceasefire" and handed over the choice of war to Lin Yi himself.

----------segmentation----------

"The choice..."

The main god space.

In the quiet, secluded space, Lin Yi stared calmly at the phantom hidden deep within his right eye in the mirror.

Choosing the initiative—this seemingly beautiful phrase actually conceals the deepest malice.

On the surface, Lin Yi appears to have the initiative to choose which side to wage war against—it could be the newly formed "equivalent exchange" or the long-dormant "Outer God".

But actually?

With a spy lurking behind him, can he still unleash all his power to start a fragment war and fight tooth and nail to win, just like before?

Or should we ignore the hunter in front of us and turn around to deal with the lurking spy?

In a one-on-one situation, the side that has the option to initiate war holds an intelligence advantage. However, in a three-way standoff, sometimes having the initiative doesn't mean the side has the ability to choose, but rather that it has no other choice besides "choosing"...

Ultimately, Lin Yi's discovery of "equivalent exchange" was entirely accidental.

Originally, he came to this multiverse by following the signals of the wizarding world. He thought he would find the "fragment" that provided power to the wizards but was deeply involved in the war. However, he did not expect that the war that swept across the multiverse had already ended. The victors devoured the losers, and together with the various arrangements left behind, they eventually lured Lin Yi here.

Yes, the one that manipulated the wizard civilization into the fragment war was the seventh fragment mentioned in "equivalent exchange." It started the war but ended in failure, becoming part of the history recorded by the victors along with the wizard civilization. The victors then appeared before Lin Yi—in an absolute manner.

Now, Lin Yi faces two choices: first, ignore the existence of the "Outer Gods" and wage war against "equivalent exchange".

Secondly, ignoring the existence of "equivalent exchange," they waged war against the "Outer Gods."

As for whether a third option exists... if it did, the world would already be at peace.

From the moment Lin Yi came into contact with the first "fragment" that was devoured, he realized the nature of the fragment war: it could fail or it could win, but there was no peaceful option such as withdrawal.

The moment you discover each other is a choice between continuing to exist or disappearing forever. Those who make the right choice continue forward, while those who make the wrong choice become resources.

This time, however, the answer Lin Yi faces seems to have already been predetermined as wrong, waiting for the moment when it will be "solved"...

“Abandon the current God Space and then escape with the 'fragments'…”

The presence in one's mind provides the correct answer without hesitation.

[The information related to "Outer Gods" has been removed; therefore, this plan is not feasible.]

Glancing at the shadow emerging from the root of his right eye, Lin Yi slowly closed it: "Indeed."

So, what should you do in this situation?

I must say, this is a foolish question.

"The things that need to be done are always the same."

From the moment he obtained the first fragment and discarded the tube of virus, to the end of the reverse flow of spiritual energy, to the destruction and collapse of Cybertron, and then to the burning and destruction of the "World Tree," Lin Yi's actions have never changed, despite the closed self of the Information Integration Thought Entity.

If you go backwards, you're not allowed to go back; if you stop, you'll be eliminated.

The right eye, which had been closed, opened again. From the "root," the power that should have been under one's own control was mixed with some unknown chaotic aura, gradually distorting the surrounding space and time.

A faint, muffled bell rang from afar, and in the dim light, one could see firewood being lit and people being burned alive.

Some were calling out, some were screaming, some were crying, some were pleading...

They shouldn't have been like this; it was all because of the arrival of the "old days."

Step forward into this closed environment created by the "Outer God".

—Isn't the only option to move forward?

Step into it.

P.S. 1: To avoid any misunderstandings, here's a summary.

P.S.: This is the fourth update after all, please forgive me!

The Great Old Ones: Chapter 902 Salem the Heretic (1)

Like falling from a great height, or jumping into the sea from the shore, when his hazy consciousness was awakened again, Lin Yi felt the existence of his "body"—fragile bones, loose muscles, sluggish reactions, and a spirit that was almost bursting out of this shell. In order to avoid this path of entering the "end" right at the beginning, Lin Yi had to do his best to restrain the spirit that was incompatible with this body. As a result, his already vague perception of the outside world was further reduced.

"A normal person starting out..."

Sensing the numerous limitations within this fragile body, Lin Yi was confident he could break free in an instant. It was simple: once the mental constraints ceased, the fragile body would crumble under the strain, naturally regaining its freedom.

However, this is meaningless. In essence, this is just a "closed space" created for Lin Yi by the "Outer Gods" using the power of the "Eye of Origin". If he resists with violence, it will be like using his right hand to attack his left hand. As long as the traces of the "Outer Gods" remain for even a second, the act of violently resisting is destined to be unacceptable.

Of course, this is not entirely a bad thing.

Because its existence was revealed in advance, the "Outer Gods" were forced to construct this "closed space" ahead of time. While using the power that originally belonged to Lin Yi as a weapon, they also restricted the use of their own power. In other words, the only "power" that could be used in this closed space was the system evolved from the Eye of Origin. Neither Lin Yi, who once controlled this power, nor the "Outer Gods" who later slowly infiltrated it were fighting on foreign soil.

— To create a relatively fair battlefield.

Faced with the relentless pressure from the lurking beings, this was the only thing Lin Yi could do. Apart from that, Lin Yi's understanding of this closed space, born from the inner workings of its origin but shaped by the influence of the "Outer God," was definitely no more thorough than that of any of the "people" within it.

Even... they knew nothing about it.

——————————Separation————Also ②〇〇〒III貳ling-$⒎〧四卄八〣——————

A closed space is similar in form to a "barrier," but unlike a "barrier" built with various energies and runes, a closed space is composed of highly dense information, or news.

Depending on the total amount and completeness of the information, closed spaces also vary in size. The smallest can penetrate to the microscopic level. Even if you use information to cover a molecule and gain the ability to manipulate the information inside, that can be considered a "closed space". The largest... the closed system that was once shaped by the Information Integration Thought Entity is the largest "closed space" that Lin Yi has ever seen.

At this moment, the "closed space" that appeared in the hazy mist before them was somewhere in between. It was neither tiny nor enormous; at least from the outside, it was just an ordinary town.

The arrival of the unexpected visitor did not cause a commotion in the town, because it seemed that a "troupe" composed entirely of outsiders had already entered before him. Compared to those outsiders who made a living by performing, Lin Yi's appearance was at most an "incidental" one.

"troupe?"

Even in the bizarre town built by the "Outer Gods" with the help of the "Roots," the language proficiency of the "Chief God" rooted in their minds still came into play. Or perhaps the "Outer Gods" had specifically considered this factor when building the town? In any case, at least in terms of basic information acquisition, there were no problems.

After learning from conversations with passersby that a "theater troupe" had entered the town, Lin Yi did not rush to find this obviously strange target, but instead began to explore the town itself.

First, determine the "background" of this town.

It's still that familiar "setting".

The coordinates are Earth—perhaps from a parallel universe, or perhaps a product of a distorted "Outer God"—but the more specific location is Salem, a town in Massachusetts.

I learned the current time after asking a well-dressed gentleman.

1692 4 Month 21 Day.

The late 17th century was not a particularly turbulent era; it marked the end of the Age of Exploration. The center of exploration shifted from the British Empire to the New World—the future United States of America. Of course, the Declaration of Independence was not issued until July 4, 1776. The war of national founding had not yet begun, and naturally, the United States did not exist; there was only a colony belonging to the British.

Salem was a trading port town in this context. Because there were also imported spices, textiles, tea, porcelain and other items from Asia in this era, the sudden appearance of someone who was obviously an Easterner would not cause too much of a commotion, which saved Lin Yi a lot of trouble.

After roughly circling the town on foot using the most primitive method of sexual intercourse, Lin Yi had to confirm that everything here was normal, or rather, what could be seen with the naked eye was ultimately just a small part of the surface.
